It was chaotic, with one act ending and another beginning.

In Yu Zhiguang's guest room, Yu Quan watched his father, whose face was flushed and who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Dad, please stop spinning, it's making me dizzy."

Seeing that his father was ignoring him completely, he brought up a topic that would help the other man calm down quickly: "Why did you agree to let our shipyard chief engineer communicate with Comrade Mu?"

Aren't they worried about technology leaks and their people being poached by the provincial authorities? They might end up losing both their personnel and their money.

From the moment Ruan Xianxian approached them and mentioned the word "warship," her ambition was obvious. It's hard to believe her father didn't see it at all.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiguang indeed stopped turning around, walked to the window, looked up at the sky where clouds were rolling and unfolding, and said in a very soft voice:

"As long as we have our own warships, what does it matter who built them?"

"My father is a man of great integrity." Yu Quan sincerely admired him. His father had been his role model since childhood. In terms of character alone, he might not be able to match his father even after ten more years of training.

Suddenly, his father turned around and gave him a sly smile. "Don't forget our secret weapon. If that day ever comes, it's hard to say who will steal whose man."

The father and son exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed knowing smiles.

...

In mid-July, the cicadas were chirping and the weather was getting hotter every day. Ruan Xianxian, who had just returned from shopping with Sister Guan Yan, lay sprawled on the bed, not wanting to move.

"I went to check three times, but the air conditioners were still out of stock. They weren't available at the department store or Friendship Store, and they weren't available on the black market either."

Ruan Xianxian would not easily take such large items out of the mall, nor would they be available in the black market. If someone with ulterior motives traced their origins, it would cause trouble.

Mu Xia also noticed that she had recently lost her appetite. She touched her forehead to make sure she didn't have a low-grade fever. "You're suffering from summer heatstroke."

Three days ago, the quotas were issued. The construction of the factory and the first batch of engineers were handed over to the military headquarters of the two provinces. We don't need to do anything. Should we go back to the village?

It's cooler in the mountains, much better.

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

Ruan Xianxian got out of bed and packed her luggage. The work here was almost done, and there would be someone else to take care of the rest, so she didn't have to do everything herself.

In the sweltering summer, the provincial capital is nowhere near as naturally cool and comfortable as the countryside. You can buy medicine from the mall to eliminate and prevent snakes, insects, and rodents.

Lao Xiang called not long ago, saying that the first batch of ducks at the oil pressing farm would soon be ready for market.

Considering the time, the two of them had been gone for two months; it was time to go back and visit.

Before the two women could set off, the commune called first.

On the other end of the line was Xiang Hongjun. He first inquired whether she was eating and drinking well in the provincial capital. After hearing that she was doing well, he handed the microphone to Hu Heshuo, who was waiting nearby.

"Comrade Ruan, there's something I need to discuss. Among the new batch of educated youth, there's a female comrade named Tian Tian who claims to be your cousin and wants to move into your room."

I refused several times, but today someone from the educated youth office came, implying that she should move in. I'll ask your side's opinion first.

Tian Tian not only came to Heilongjiang Province, but also wants to stay in her house? Wasn't she supposed to be in the Northwest? Ruan Xianxian almost laughed in anger.

Hu Heshuo continued, "That house should legally belong to the production brigade. I can tolerate it once or twice, but I won't tolerate it more than three times."

We also need to be careful not to anger the educated youth office and get into trouble, otherwise they'll only send us inferior talents in the future.

"What do you want?" Ruan Xianxian asked directly.

Hu Heshuo smiled; talking to smart people was indeed effortless. "The first batch of bamboo weaving has already been submitted, but the second batch of materials hasn't arrived yet."

Having tasted success, Ma Dazui's wives were constantly nagging him to help them think of another way to make money.

Ruan Xianxian understood that Hu Heshuo needed to unite people's hearts to deal with the Hu family, and she didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

“I need ducks. Luckily, I have a traditional method that can improve the hatching success rate. The farm can buy the ducklings hatched by the villagers.”

I've been seeing Guan Yan a lot lately. She's almost driven crazy by the downy ducks. She'll go back and submit an application to buy hatched chickens and ducks from the villagers under the name of the farm. It's a small matter.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Captain Hu, my cousin has always longed for the life of farming in the countryside since she was a child. She always says that working people are the most glorious."

If she had the opportunity to go to the countryside and participate in the vast agricultural work, she would definitely do the hardest and most tiring jobs. She wanted to dedicate her youthful energy and leave no regrets.

Hu Heshuo understood immediately, clicked his tongue inwardly, and said in a serious tone, "Comrade Ruan, rest assured, Comrade Tian's heart and ideals are good, and I will do my best to help her achieve her wish."

Just before the call ended, Hu Heshuo said, "Oh, right, there's something good I almost forgot to tell you. Wenrou, the educated youth, is getting married tomorrow, and her fiancé is a military officer."

Our brigade's going to be in for some excitement again!

The next morning, before the sun had even risen, the educated youth settlement was already bustling with activity.

Just two days ago, the educated youth office sent another batch of educated youth, three women and two men, which revitalized the increasingly desolate educated youth settlement.

Adding to the fact that today is the day an old educated youth goes out, he is gentle and generous, and has prepared a feast in advance, with several pounds of pork soaking in the water vat.

In addition, she married a military officer, so even someone like Tian Tian, ​​who was used to meeting military officers, would give face to the local bigwig.

The process went smoothly. The groom rode his bicycle around the village with the bride. Wenrou was wearing festive new clothes and was a little nervous when the bicycle was taken out of the educated youth settlement.

"If we touch Ruan Zhiqing's car without permission, won't she be angry when she comes back?"

Following closely behind, Tian Tian said nonchalantly, "Today is a big day in your life, so ride with confidence. Even if your cousin were here, she definitely wouldn't refuse."

She's never refused a request of mine, not even when she was a child.

She gazed gently at the beautiful but rough face beside her and smiled gently.
