Chapter 525 Everyone’s Thoughts

Gu Xihuai supported his waist with his hands and panted, "You two are in really good physical condition. You run really fast."

Gu Yuehuai crossed his arms over his chest, laughed, and scolded: "Third brother, have you been secretly planning this these past two days?"

Noticing that his sister's tone was not right, the flesh on Gu Xihuai's cheek twitched, and he ran behind Yan Shaoyu and whispered, "Shaoyu, you have to help me. Whether I can get a wife depends on you!"

Yan Shaoyu raised the corners of his narrow eyes and pulled the person out with his backhand, without any intention of showing favoritism.

Gu Xihuai looked at Gu Yuehuai's half-smile, his face fell, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are so good, Yan Shaoyu, you married a wife and forgot about your brother!" After that, he smiled and said to Gu Yuehuai, "Sister, just take me with you."

Gu Yuehuai frowned: "Don't be so playful with me. Let me ask you, did you tell dad and big brother when you went out?"

Gu Xihuai was startled and quickly raised his hand and said, "I told my brother!"

"You mean you ran away without telling dad?" Gu Yuehuai glared at him and rudely flicked his head with his hand: "Gu Xihuai, you are already in your twenties, not a child anymore, how dare you do such a thing?"

Gu Xihuai cried out in pain and covered his head with a grimace: "Gu Yuehuai, how come you are so strong?"

Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to pay attention to him, and said in a serious tone: "Go back and don't add to the fun."

Seeing that she really didn't plan to take him with her, Gu Xihuai stopped playing tricks. He pursed his lips, his handsome face full of determination: "If you don't take me, then I will go by myself. Anyway, I have experience going out."

Gu Yuehuai was almost so angry that he laughed: "Are you my elder brother or my younger brother?"

"If you want to be my sister, I have no objection. So, sister, take me with you?" Gu Xihuai approached shamelessly, his eyes full of pleading. He had to make sure Liu Weilan was safe.

It had been a while since he wrote the letter, but not only had he not received a reply, he hadn't even seen the person. He felt uneasy if he didn't confirm the answer.

Gu Yuehuai also saw through his thoughts, and after a little persuasion, he said, "Third brother, the place where Liu Weilan is teaching is not a big team like ours. The mountain roads there are winding, and it is a veritable mountain valley. It is hard to say what the customs of the people are like. If you really want to go there, you have to be more careful. In case you encounter any problems, distant water cannot quench nearby fires."

She was not exaggerating. There were many backward villages in this era. As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Moreover, people in a village are often united and unite to fight against outsiders, just like the Liuzhi Brigade where Lei Yi and his men were originally.

Gu Xihuai nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I know."

Since he said so, Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything more. The group quickened their pace and rushed to the train station.

After buying the tickets and checking in, they got on the bus and after a while, several people were seated.

Wan Qinglan had never traveled far before, and as soon as he got in the car, his eyes widened like bells and his face was full of curiosity.

The rest of the journey was very peaceful, except for the occasional mutterings between Gu Xihuai and Wan Qinglan.

After a day and a night, we arrived at Feng City.

Gu Yuehuai needed to send the people to the grain street first, inform Xing Jian, and then release the grain stored in the Sumeru space during this period. He would not be able to come back for a long time in the military area, so he had to give some detailed instructions.

After several people got off the train, Gu Yuehuai asked Gu Xihuai and Wan Qinglan to wait on the street while she and Yan Shaoyu went to the warehouse.

Gu Yuehuai looked at the full warehouse and clapped his hands: "I hope these grains can last for a while longer."

Yan Shaoyu smiled, reached out to take the leaves off her clothes, and comforted her: "It's okay, the army has vacation every month, and you can go back and forth in two days. But if you go home, you won't have enough time."

Gu Yuehuai responded clearly: "It's already very good."

Although she said it lightly, Yan Shaoyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Life with the army was very hard. Although she didn't care about it, it was all for him in the end. Whenever he thought of this, he felt a little distressed.

"Don't say anything sentimental, let's go." Gu Yuehuai saw that he was in a bad mood, grabbed his hand and hurried back. The matter of revenge was over. She was an independent individual now. How could she feel bitter if her life was not too good?

When the two returned to Liang Street, Gu Xihuai and Wan Qinglan were still waiting there.

Gu Xihuai was extremely anxious: "If you don't come back, I will take Comrade Wan to find Xing Jian myself."

"Let's go." Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything and led a few people to the Liangjie warehouse. Unfortunately, he didn't see Xing Jian.

Gu Yuehuai walked around Liang Street and found another acquaintance, Lao Qi: "Lao Qi, where is Xing Jian?"

"Sister Gu! We still have food. Why are you here?" Lao Qi exclaimed in surprise when he saw Gu Yuehuai. He handed the food he was selling to another companion, walked forward, bowed and spoke to Gu Yuehuai.

His face was full of smiles: "Brother Xing has gone to the municipal government, isn't it time for the handover again?"

Gu Yuehuai understood that he had gone to find Song Jinan.

Wan Qinglan looked around curiously at the guys selling grain. They all had happy smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they had a bright future in life. People who wanted to buy grain were queuing in an orderly manner. Everything was fine.

She felt a little emotional. This would be her workplace from now on. Just thinking about it made her heart jump out with excitement.

When she worked as a copy editor at the Masses Daily, she studied the front page headlines thoroughly, and Grain Street appeared quite frequently. She certainly knew what Grain Street represented at a critical moment when the country was short of food. It was not only the motivation for the workers to make a living, but also the expectation of the people in various cities and counties. She must work hard in Grain Street and serve the people!

Gu Yuehuai pulled Wan Qinglan over and said to Lao Qi, "This is Comrade Wan Qinglan. She will be a member of our Grain Street from now on. Any publicity and editing work will be given to her. She can also help sell grain on weekdays."

The seventh brother was stunned: "What about the eldest brother of the Gu family? He's not coming?"

It's not that he has any problem with Wan Qinglan, but he is already familiar with Gu Tinghuai. The latter is honest in his work and does not take advantage of the fact that he is the boss's brother to cheat. He is dedicated to Grain Street and is indeed a very good colleague.

Gu Yuehuai chuckled: "He will come after he is done with his busy schedule. I will leave Qinglan to you. Let Xing Jian take good care of her."

"Don't worry, Sister Gu! We will take good care of Comrade Wan!" Lao Qi smiled and saluted Gu Yuehuai. Then he thought of something and said shyly, "Sister Gu, wait a minute. I have something for you."

Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "Ah?"

Lao Qi didn't explain much and ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, Lao Qi came back with a bulging brown paper bag. He handed the bag to Gu Yuehuai, and a smile spread across his thin face, revealing his teeth: "Sister Gu, happy wedding. I don't have time to go over, but I have to send my thoughts to you."
