"Fangfang has been gone for half a month. I don't know what's going on with her. I haven't received a single letter from her."

"Ye Qing, there's a letter for you!"

Ye Qing had just finished talking to Xiang Changlin when he heard the postman's shouting outside.

"Oh! Is it a letter from Fangfang? Let me take a look."

Her eyes widened instantly, and she quickly got off the bed, put on her shoes, and went out to get the letter.

"Comrade, I am Ye Qing."

"Here, sign it."

"good."

After Ye Qing signed the letter, she saw that it was really sent by Ye Fang, so she opened it impatiently. She walked into the house while reading it.

Xiang Changlin asked, "Was it sent by Fangfang?"

"Um."

"What did you say? Is she okay over there?"

Ye Qing did not answer him. Ten minutes later, after reading the letter, he said, "This girl is quite good at writing. She wrote three pages. She is living well over there and has gradually adapted to the new life. Don't worry about her. She is getting along well with the neighbors. Do you want to take a look?"

"Let me see."

Xiang Changlin took the letter and glanced through it. Ye Fang talked a lot in it, and it was obvious that she really missed home. There was no focus in the whole letter, she just wrote whatever she thought of. However, for a self-taught person like her, it was already very impressive.

"Fangfang's handwriting is getting better and better."

Xiang Changlin couldn't help but praise him.

Ye Qing nodded, "Yes, my sister and I were not born in a good time, otherwise we would be able to go to school."

"You are really good now. You know a lot of words!"

He was never stingy with his praise for his daughter-in-law.

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, "Of course, I also want to improve~"

"By the way, how did you find out about Chunling's work?"

Xiang Chunling is getting married in a month. After careful consideration, she decided to give up her job and return to the village to get married. No one in her family objects. After all, it is not a long-term solution for a young couple to get married with one in the city and the other in the countryside.

Ye Qing did not object. If they didn't want to do it, then don't do it. Anyway, they could start a business in two or three years. Wu Xiaobei was still very business-minded. They could still fight side by side in this life. If things went well, they could earn back the money they made in the past two or three years in a year.

"I was just about to tell you, there are two companies that want to buy it, and they're offering more for this job than we're offering."

"How many?"

"One is two hundred and four, and the other is two hundred and sixty."

Ye Qing was surprised. "So much, and we only asked for 210. It seems they are quite rich."

Xiang Changlin smiled and said, "This job is a stable job, which means lifelong security. They are happy to pay a little more. What do you think?"

"Who are they?"

"One is Qiangzi's aunt, who wanted to buy it for her daughter-in-law, and they offered 240 yuan. The other one was found by Wang Yang, who is their neighbor. I didn't expect that they found the two people at the same time. Qiangzi told me first, and Wang Yang went to tell his neighbor that someone had already offered to buy it. His neighbor asked about the price and said he was willing to pay 20 yuan more. What do you think we should do now?"

Ye Qing sighed, "That's really hard to do. Qiangzi and Wang Yang have a good relationship with us. Although we are only short of 20 yuan, now is not the time to care about money."

"Yes, I was thinking if it doesn't work, I'll just sell it to Qiangzi's aunt. After all, she's a real relative, and it was Qiangzi who told me about it first. As for Wang Yang, I'll invite him and Qiangzi to have a meal at home to express my gratitude. He's not the kind of person who cares about small things, so he won't take such a small matter to heart."

He has been a colleague for several years and he knows everyone's personality very well, so he won't have any grudge against him because of such a small matter.

Ye Qing nodded in agreement, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

When Xiang Chunling came back from buying a toothbrush, Ye Qing told her about this.

"Okay, then let me know when you sell it."

The next day, Xiang Changlin told Ma Guoqiang about it at work, and made an appointment to go to his cousin's house after work in the afternoon. Then he went to tell Wang Yang and apologized. Wang Yang said he understood and didn't care too much.

Three days later, after finishing her work, Xiang Chunling started packing her things to move back home. She was reluctant to leave after living here for more than a year.

Ye Qing saw her reluctance and smiled to comfort her, "It's okay, you can come and live here when you are not busy at home. This is also your home, and the cottage is always available for you."

Xiang Chunling pouted, "Thank you, second sister-in-law. Thanks to you and second brother for taking care of me this year, I feel very comfortable living here."

"I also want to thank you for helping me look after my children. I will be sad to see you go."

"Then I won't get married. I'll just live here."

Xiang Chunling said jokingly.

Ye Qing laughed and patted her head, "Then I'm afraid Xiaobei will come to snatch her away!"

Thinking of her boyfriend's clingy nature, Xiang Chunling chuckled.

Two days later, Xiang Changlin asked for leave to help Xiang Chunling take her luggage home. When Wu Xiaobei learned that she was back, he went to see her every few days. The two finally returned to their relationship as they did when they first got engaged.

A month later, the two got married and the house became lively again. Ye Qing gave them a dragon and phoenix quilt cover as a gift.

Time flies, and 1976 passed in a flash. Qi Mingtao and Ye Fang were unable to come back home for the Chinese New Year. Ye Qing and his friends took the twins back to the village to reunite and celebrate the New Year as in previous years.

The year 1977 arrived quietly. No one knew what great changes would take place in that year. The exam that affected millions of candidates was also approaching quietly.

It is worth mentioning that in April, Ye Baozhu gave birth to a son as she wished. Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and she and Gu Wenqing had another quarrel.

Ye Jianhua also successfully married a female classmate who lived in the commune. The girl's father was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. After they got married, she helped Ye Jianhua find a purchasing job in the supply and marketing cooperative, which was said to be very lucrative.

Now that her son has become successful, Sun Erni's tail is up in the air again. She walks on the street like a victorious rooster, feeling so proud.

Everyone would compliment her on the surface, but behind her back they would talk about how the daughter-in-law in her commune despised their family and that this son was no different from a son-in-law who married into the family.

Zhou Shuimei was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Ye Erzhu and his wife this year, but now they have long been out of her control and she can't control them even if she wants to. The most gratifying thing is that her grandson has found a capable Yue family and now has a stable job. It's really a great honor for her ancestors.
