Chapter 248 Departure to the Provincial Capital

☆

After agreeing on the time and meeting place with Secretary Li, Xie Yun drove his car back to Liushutun, causing a sensation. Even Zhang Guangzong ran out from the brigade headquarters to greet him after hearing the news, thinking that an important person had arrived. As a result, the car drove straight past him, spraying him with exhaust fumes and making him cough a few times in the dust.

Zhao Fuguo, who was beside him, was not spared either.

Zhang Guangzong listened to the gloating laughter coming from the car and gnashed his teeth in anger. The members didn't recognize this car, but he did. He had seen it before when it was being renovated at the agricultural machinery station.

The person driving this car must be Xie Yun, no doubt about it!

This naughty kid definitely did it on purpose. Not only did he not stop or slow down, he even stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward.

He looked at the child who had come to tell him the news, and tried hard to suppress his anger, forcing a smile. The child said, "Your smile is really ugly."

Zhang Guangzong: “…”

Zhao Fuguo couldn't bear it any longer and burst into laughter.

Zhang Guangzong wanted to kick him.

He looked at the kid who was laughing along with him and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

The child pointed at Zhao Fuguo and said, "I was laughing at him."

"Hey! Some people pick up money, some people pick up words, and this is the first time I've seen someone pick up smiles."

Zhao Fuguo said, "You are surprised by what you have seen."

Zhang Guangzong: “…”

The child asked him, "Who is this? Why didn't he stop? Didn't he come to see you?"

Zhang Guangzong: "...This is Xie Binbin!"

The child immediately ran away, shouting, "Sister Binbin is back in her car!"

By the time Xie Yun parked his car in front of Wang Huaqing's gate, the news had already spread throughout the Liushutun Brigade.

People rely on their loud voices to achieve communication efficiency that is no less than that of the telephone.

Wang Huaqing walked around the car and said, "Great! You're driving a car now. That's great! But why are you driving here?"

"Aunt Huaqing, I'm going to the provincial capital. I'll drive there myself. Can you come with me and take a look around the city?"

"Going to the provincial capital?"

"Yes, come with me. I'm going to do something, so you can go see Brother Haoyu. When I'm done, I'll bring you back. You don't have to run around by yourself. I'll take you directly to the place and then pick you up there. I have all the necessary paperwork, so there's absolutely no problem for you to go to the Finance Department's staff quarters."

Wang Huaqing was moved.

She wanted to go and see her nephews and nieces. They were all in school, but she, as their aunt, had never seen them. She had never helped her nephew take care of the children, leaving him to work hard in the city alone. She always felt sorry for her parents and her elder and second brothers when she thought about it.

But Wang Huaqing was hesitant again. She knew Xie Yun must have important business to attend to in the provincial capital.

"Will it cause you any trouble if I go?"

"What's the trouble? I'm driving anyway, it's very convenient."

"Go, go, don't be afraid of bothering her, even if it means trouble."

This is Zhang Guangzong's voice.

He finished his fight with the other kid and rushed over to find out what was going on. He wanted to see what Xie Binbin had come back for. He hadn't expected her to take Hua Qing back to the province. Hehe, good kid!

The revenge for the prank he played on him just now is over.

Wang Huaqing said to him, "What's your business? Don't mess around here. Binbin must have important business to go to the provincial government."

Zhang Guangzong asked Xie Yun: "Did this delay your work?"

"No need to delay. This isn't a matter of utmost urgency. I've made all the arrangements as long as I have time. I'm not only bringing Aunt Hua Qing with me, I'm also going to bring Secretary Yang with me. I'm going to go find Secretary Xia and use Secretary Yang to establish some connections."

Zhang Guangzong asked again: "If your aunt Huaqing wants to stay in the provincial capital for a day or two, is that possible?"

"OK."

Wang Huaqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go. I'll go see them. Haoyu wrote me last time and told me that my sister-in-law has gone to live with him. We haven't seen each other for years, so it's a good opportunity for me to go and see her. When are we leaving?"

"Please pack up and we'll set off right away."

"good."

Wang Huaqing went home to pack his things. Zhang Guangzong asked Xie Yun, "Can you take a few more things in the car? I'll go pack up some of our produce and have Huaqing take it to Haoyu. You just wait here. I'll go call Lao Yang for you."

"You can take it. Go pack it up. If there's too much, call me and I'll drive over to load it."

"No need. I don't have much at home, so I'll just give him some as a token of my appreciation. Am I moving my home to him?"

He was giving away things from his family, not things from the public. His family didn't have much, and even if he did, he would only give a little.

Zhang Guangzong didn't particularly like Wang Haoyu, feeling that he had let Hua Qing down. Hua Qing had done her utmost to raise him, nurture him, and protect him, but what about him? If he was told to stay in the city and not come back, he wouldn't come back. Hua Qing couldn't justify it, so he stopped asking. If he had persisted, asking more often, maybe Hua Qing would have gone to the city to enjoy a better life. She could have seen her children, enjoyed the joys of family, and perhaps she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

He had discussed this view with Mingli, but Mingli disagreed. In her words, "The key to this matter is Huaqing's feelings, not yours. If Haoyu listens to her, she will actually be relieved. If Haoyu insists on coming back, or insists that Huaqing go to the city, if something happens in the end, who can bear it, Huaqing or Haoyu? Besides, if Haoyu doesn't listen to her, it would be a waste of her efforts. Huaqing has suffered too much, but it's not because of Haoyu."

Zhang Guangzong could only sigh. Wang Hua's reckoning was like drawing a circle around himself, trapping himself.

To outsiders, the Wang family’s tragedy had nothing to do with Wang Huaqing, but Wang Huaqing didn’t think so.

Well, since she values ​​this nephew, he and Mingli, as old friends, have to give Hua Qing some face.

Zhang Guangzong ran away in a hurry and went to inform Secretary Yang first. He only said one sentence, "Xie Binbin asked you to help. You should pack up your things quickly and go to the provincial capital with her. There is something important. After you finish packing, go to meet her at Huaqing's door." Then, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Secretary Yang shouted from behind: "What's the business? Why don't you finish talking before you leave?"

Also, why are we meeting at the eldest lady’s house?

Zhang Guangzong: “…”

How would he know what the serious matter was?

He just knew it must be serious business, and that was all.

Secretary Yang did not get an answer, but he did not waste any time. He went straight home, packed a small package, and quickly went to Wang Huaqing's door.

Xie Yun was helping Wang Huaqing put things into the car: cotton, flour, eggs, sausages...

Wang Huaqing said, "Luckily Xiuzhen is here. She made these sausages. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any meat to sell today. Once the food factory opens, I'll buy some and send it to Haoyu and the others every once in a while."

Xie Yun smiled and said, "If you ask me, you should eat more good food, take good care of yourself, and live to be 150 years old, so that you can see seven generations living under the same roof. By then, your three rooms will not be enough for you, and you will have to build a new one, otherwise you will really have no place to stand."

Wang Huaqing thought about the scene and smiled until his face turned red. "I'm not that greedy. Just let me see four generations living under one roof."

"Then your requirements are too low."

While they were chatting, Xie Yun saw Secretary Yang coming over, so he reached out and took his package and put it in the car.

"Please get in the car first. We have to wait a while. The captain has gone back to get his things."

Secretary Yang said, "I'll get some too."

As soon as he saw this, he knew that Hua Qing would also go with him. She would definitely go to see Haoyu in the provincial capital, so he should also prepare some gifts. This is the friendship between fellow villagers.

Wang Huaqing stopped him and said, "Alright, if you're told to get in the car, just get in."

With this leg, walking around like this, how can it feel good?

"Why."

When Secretary Yang heard her words, he immediately opened the car door and got in.

After a while, Zhang Guangzong and Jiang Mingli came carrying large and small bags.

Wang Huaqing said, "I'm sorry to have cost you so much."

Jiang Mingli said, "Of course not. It's not easy for you to make the trip, and as an aunt, it's your first time meeting your grandchildren, so you should bring more. This is also a little gift from me and Lao Zhang."

Xie Yun also helped put it in the car.

Zhang Guangzong and Jiang Mingli gave Xie Yun a few more instructions to drive slowly and be careful, and Xie Yun agreed to all of them.

Wang Huaqing sat in the passenger seat, and Secretary Yang sat in the back, with a pile of things next to him.

Xie Yun sat in the driver's seat, stuck his head out and waved to Zhang Guangzong and Jiang Mingli, "Let's go."

"Let's go. Call me if you need anything."

"good."
