Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Dimples, Asking for Leave

Back in the army, Qiao Anchuan got his own letter and opened it when he returned to the dormitory. To his surprise, the first thing that fell out was a photo.

He subconsciously picked it up and took a look at it. The first thing he saw was that her smile was so sweet and her dimples were so beautiful.

He coughed, put the photo aside, took out the letter, and read it from beginning to end. Then he looked at the photo again, and read the letter again...

After looking back and forth like this two or three times, he decisively stood up and walked out to ask for leave. His mother said that if he didn't go back this time, she would break off all ties with him!

…

At the Huangzhuang Brigade, Zhang Yunhuan watched Zhuo Jia go to work every day and asked cautiously, "Jia Jia, why haven't you asked for leave lately?"

How can it be so scary when someone who wants to take leave every day suddenly stops taking leave?

Zhuo Jia hung her head and said weakly, "I'll invite you again in two days."

Aunt Hongying hasn't been working to earn full work points these days. She comes to her workplace every day to find her, but she wants to leave a good impression on her future mother-in-law, so how can she ask for leave?

But just bear with it for a few more days. Aunt Hongying said that Qiao Anchuan has already asked for leave and may be on his way back in the next few days. She will just have to wait for Qiao Anchuan to come back and see him. Once things are settled, she won't have to go to work.

Zhang Yunhuan's eyes lit up instantly. She leaned over to Zhuo Jia and asked, "What do you mean, is your blind date going to be successful?"

As the only person who knew Zhuo Jia's true identity, she felt that this period of time was really difficult for Zhuo Jia. She had enough food and drink, but she still had to go to work every day. It was really too difficult.

"I guess I have a plan now. I'll hold on a little longer." After saying this, Zhuo Jia felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.

So she opened the kang cabinet and took out a can of canned fruit. After opening it, she asked Zhang Yunhuan, "Want some? I'll give you half."

"Eat, eat, eat. You still have some?" Zhang Yunhuan was extremely surprised. Of course, this did not affect the speed at which she went to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Of course, she didn't eat for free. She knew Zhuo Jia had money but lacked tickets, but it didn't matter. She had tickets and could exchange them.

Zhuo Jia nodded: "Of course."

You have to know that before she came, she bought things worth five or six hundred yuan in Hecheng. How could she finish them so quickly? She hadn't even started drinking the milk powder and malted milk.

The two of them each took half and soon finished the can of fruit. After a full meal, Zhang Yunhuan clutched his stomach and said, "I'm going to take a leave of absence tomorrow to go to the county. Do you want to come with me?"

While saying this, she winked at Zhuo Jia and said, "Sister, the opportunity is given to you. It depends on whether you can seize it."

Zhuo Jia looked at her, nodded vigorously, and said seriously: "Of course I have to accompany you. This is your first time going to such a far place. How can you go without someone to accompany you?"

It's a rare opportunity to have a legitimate day off, so she must seize it!

Zhang Yunhuan suppressed a smile and nodded: "You're right, let's go to the captain together tomorrow to ask for leave."

She knew that Zhuo Jia could seize the opportunity to take a leave of absence.

Feng Xiaoyu heard the last sentence as soon as she entered the room. She silently mourned for the captain in her heart. The captain must be upset again, but...

"Jia Jia, when you two go to the county tomorrow, please bring me a piece of soap." Feng Xiaoyu said.

She is just a small person and dare not worry about the captain. She should take care of herself first.

Zhuo Jia nodded: "No problem, is there anything else that needs to be brought?"

Because it’s always like this, after all, it’s not easy to go to the county!

Then Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan received a bunch of things to take with them, but they were all small items, and the money and tickets were given to them in advance. However, even if they were not given, they could still buy these things.

The next day, Zhang Yunhuan and Zhuo Jia went to see the team leader together, and told him about their request for leave as soon as they met him.

The captain was silent for a long time before nodding: "Go ahead."

These two are both great bosses, and we can't stop them. But as long as they don't owe the team anything, they can be treated however they want. The team leader walked towards the team headquarters leisurely to watch the fun.

When he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he sat opposite the brigade secretary, coughed, and said, "Zhuo Zhiqing has asked for leave again today."

As a rare insider, he knew that the Qiao family had taken a fancy to Zhuo Zhiqing, and Chuanzi was on his way back for a blind date with Zhuo Zhiqing.

The brigade secretary calmly asked, "And what? You didn't agree?"

His wife said that the second son is capable and has an allowance, so he can support his wife, so they don’t need to worry about so many things, as long as the second son is willing.

"Their reasons are legitimate, so of course I agree." The captain said unhappily.

Her future parents-in-law don't care, so why should an outsider like him worry so much? It's a thankless task.

The brigade secretary said, "That's all right. By the way, after Chuanzi gets married, I'll separate the two brothers. Don't forget to prepare the homestead."

This is the real thing. If he doesn't arrange the homestead properly, he can drive his sons out and make them sleep on the streets.

"Give both away?" The captain was shocked and asked in disbelief.

No other family has ever divided up their property so neatly.

The brigade secretary nodded and said, "Yes, let's divide them all up. Hongying and I are still capable and can support ourselves, so we won't get involved with these two small families."

Hongying is right. After worrying about her children all her life, why can't she just live a few years of peaceful life?

Captain: “…”

He looked at the brigade secretary with admiration. Apart from anything else, he would never be able to catch up with Old Joe's mentality in his lifetime.

When he thought of the fourth child in their family, he felt even more troubled. The family was in chaos because of the fourth child. If this continued, their family would really become the trouble of the entire team.

…

Here, Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan got off the bus alive. They looked at each other, with the same look of despair on their faces.

Zhang Yunhuan muttered softly, "I finally understand why other people don't want to come to the county."

The cost of taking the bus is one thing, but the important thing is that you are spending money to suffer.

Zhuo Jia smoothed her tangled pigtails with her hands and said through gritted teeth, "I must work hard to buy a bicycle!"

Next time she comes to the county, she will try to ride a bicycle.

Zhang Yunhuan immediately grabbed her hand and said sincerely, "Sister, take me on your bike and I'll treat you to braised pork."

As she is not short of money, she has no problem enjoying life.

Zhuo Jia coughed and shouted in the same tone: "Sister, I have money but no tickets. Please wait a little longer."

If she had the ticket, she would have arranged a bicycle long ago. And now that she was in Hecheng, it would probably be easier to get a bicycle ticket. But it was really difficult now, so she had to find a way.

Zhang Yunhuan frowned and asked, "If you get married to the second son of the brigade secretary's family, won't their family arrange for you to have a three-turn and one-ring?"

Her sisters are young, beautiful and rich, so why don’t they deserve three turns and one ring?

Zhuo Jia shook her head: "Probably not. Their eldest son didn't buy these when he got married, and Aunt Hongying has a bicycle at home."

After all, they are brothers. Even if they are not treated equally, there should not be too big a difference. Besides, she doesn't want to cause discord between brothers because of these things. The important thing is that she doesn't need these things. At worst, she can find a way to buy them after she gets married.

Zhang Yunhuan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw what Zhuo Jia was thinking: "I really feel that ordinary people are not worthy of you now."

Well, it’s just that she’s too far from their home, otherwise she would have wanted to introduce Zhuo Jia to her second brother. What a generous daughter-in-law she is! Her ancestors must have lived for a long time to marry such a daughter-in-law.

"Well, we just get what we need." Zhuo Jia coughed and said quickly.

Don't make her sound so noble. She just has a purchasing group and is not short of money, otherwise she would not be willing to do it.

Zhang Yunhuan took her arm and said, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

After arriving at the educated youth camp, she got along better with Zhuo Jia. If Zhuo Jia really got together with the second son of the brigade secretary, she would have to give him a gift. This time she came to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was anything suitable. If not, she would have to write a letter home and ask her mother to help buy it for her.

"Come on, let me tell you, I know someone in the supply and marketing cooperative who is very good." Zhuo Jia said excitedly.

She still remembers Comrade Lin Yu!

Zhang Yunhuan was also very excited: "It's the comrade who asked you to buy those defective cloths. I have to get to know him."

Although she had no shortage of fabric, who would complain about having too much fabric? Even she didn't know how to make clothes.

But when they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, the first thing others did when they saw Zhuo Jia was to call out to Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, your cousin is here again!"

Almost everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative knew that Lin Yu had a cousin who bought defective products worth dozens of dollars from the supply and marketing cooperative!

Lin Yu shuddered, and when she looked up and saw Zhuo Jia, she subconsciously covered her pocket. Oh no, she had finished her White Rabbit candy.

"Cousin, this is my good friend, Zhang Yunhuan." Zhuo Jia walked up to Lin Yu and said with a smile.

Zhang Yunhuan took out a few pieces of White Rabbit candy and handed them over: "Hello, Comrade Lin Yu."

This is what Zhuo Jia told her, the secret to success of White Rabbit Milk Candy.

Lin Yu swallowed and whispered, "We really can't go to the warehouse this time."

I can't go this month.

"It's okay, we're not going to the warehouse, we're just making friends." Zhang Yunhuan said, trying not to laugh.

After saying that, he looked at Zhuo Jia and said, "Sister, you scared me!"

Zhuo Jia looked calm. It was not her fault. She was going to the warehouse, and only wanted money, not a ticket. To her, what was the difference between this and a mouse entering a rice jar?

No difference!

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then patted his chest and said, "Then I'll make friends with you too."

Make friends with White Rabbit Milk Candy?

That must be her closest friend.

With Lin Yu's help, Zhuo Jia and her friends quickly bought all the things they needed for the other educated youth, and only then did they feel like taking a leisurely stroll.

Lin Yu followed behind and said, "I don't think you would like the things here."

The clothes these two people wore were more beautiful than each other, and each of them had a watch, which was something that the female comrades in their county could not compare with.

Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan exchanged a glance, and Zhuo Jia said, "Look at what you're saying. How could you possibly look down on it? Have you forgotten? I asked for a backpack last time."

Now she still has a lot of things she brought from Hecheng, so she is a little disdainful of them, but she thinks in her heart that it’s okay, but she can’t say it out loud.

Zhang Yunhuan nodded beside him: "Yes, we are here to buy things. Is there anything delicious?"

Working is so hard and tiring, I can’t survive without something delicious.

Lin Yu glanced at the two of them and led them directly to the counter selling cakes. Next to it was a counter selling canned goods, and next to that there were some fruits...

In the end, she watched the two of them buy up all the canned food and fruits!
