Hehe~~
After starting over, Huang Qinqin sat on the back of the bicycle and kept smiling foolishly.
Xu Junhui felt a little uneasy at the laughter and asked fearfully, "Wife, what are you laughing at?"
Huang Qinqin said with a grin, "Just thinking about my second brother going on a blind date tomorrow makes me want to laugh! No way! I have to ask Manager Gao for leave later. I want to rest tomorrow too. I want to go and watch the fun!"
Xu Junhui asked, puzzled, "Why 'watching the show'? What kind of 'show' would there be if my second brother went on a blind date?"
Huang Qinqin leaned against Xu Junhui's back and gently shook her head: "Actually, I don't know either, but I just have a strange intuition. If I go with him tomorrow, there should be some excitement to see."
"Anyway, I haven't had much rest this month. I'm taking tomorrow off to go back to my parents' house, and I'll go with Mom to join in the fun. Do you want to come?"
Xu Junhui nodded: "Go, I'll go with you."
Huang Qinqin's belly is starting to show; it's noticeably bigger than before these past few days.
Xu Junhui dared not leave Huang Qinqin to go back to her parents' home alone and wander around; he would feel more at ease if he accompanied her.
As soon as Huang Qinqin arrived at the department store, she saw the brigade secretary and village chief Huang waiting for her at the entrance.
"Secretary, Village Chief, why are you up so early?"
Huang Qinqin walked over quickly and asked in surprise.
Besides the Party Secretary and the village chief, Huang Qinqin also saw the village chiefs of other villages. Calculating the time, she realized that today should be the day the educated youth train arrives.
Huang Qinqin guessed that the secretary and his team probably wanted to take advantage of the time to pick up the educated youth and get the documents sorted out at the same time.
When the brigade secretary saw Huang Qinqin approaching, he put away his pipe. He smiled and said, "I was just thinking of going into town to pick up the educated youth, so I came over on the way."
"Alright, village chief, one of you stay here and watch the oxcart, and the rest of you come with me to find Manager Gao, how about that?"
Because oxcarts rarely come to this side of the department store, there is no one in the department store responsible for watching over oxcarts or bicycles.
Bicycles can be locked, but oxcarts can't; if no one is watching, the oxen will run off on their own.
Therefore, it would be best if someone stayed behind to watch the oxcart, since it was one of the most important assets of the brigade.
"No need, just the two of us can go in with you. They can wait for us outside."
Since the brigade secretary had said so, Huang Qinqin went to find Manager Gao with only the secretary and Village Chief Huang.
Then, he knocked on the finance office door and told them that people from Huangjia Village had arrived and they needed to come with them to Manager Gao's office to sign some documents and provide a purchase approval slip.
The brigade secretary and village chief Huang were still very nervous because things were not yet finalized, and they were afraid that something might go wrong.
They were also worried that the department store managers would look down on them, who were from the countryside, so they seemed a little awkward in their every move after entering.
However, Huang Qinqin had already prepared everything in advance, and all matters had been communicated.
So now Manager Gao didn't make things difficult for them, readily signed the contract with them, and then had the finance department give them the purchase approval slip.
I only gave them one instruction: make sure the pickled vegetables taste good and are hygienic, and then I sent them back.
Back in front of the department store, the brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang were still half asleep. They had prepared themselves for a fight with the department store's management.
Who would have thought that everything would go so smoothly!
Village Chief Huang looked at the cured meat he was carrying and slapped his thigh: "Oh dear, I forgot to give this to the department store manager!"
"Should we go back now?"
The brigade secretary thought for a moment and said, "No need. Since the leaders have already signed the document with us, we just need to ensure the taste and hygiene."
“Going back now would seem a bit contrived. Let’s go pick up the educated youth now.”
After seeing off the brigade secretary and his team, Huang Qinqin's only remaining task was to wait until the village's workshop was established, then take their purchase approval slips to the daily chemical factory to sign a contract to purchase packaging bottles.
According to the information provided by Xu Junhui, the purchase of packaging bottles from daily chemical factories can only be done by collective workshops, factories, or various units; they do not buy and sell from individuals.
So now everything is ready except for the final push. Once the workshop in Huangjia Village is established, we can use their purchasing permits to buy packaging bottles.
...
On the train, Song Mincheng, carrying his meager luggage, had been waiting at the train door for a long time.
Unlike other educated youth who felt confused and resistant to going to the countryside, Song Mingcheng felt only anticipation and fear.
He was looking forward to seeing his grandfather again soon.
He was also afraid because he was about to see his grandfather.
He was afraid to see his grandfather's health deteriorating, and afraid that seeing his grandfather would make him depressed.
Actually, he didn't need to go to the countryside at all, and his uncle wouldn't let him either. But he was already 16 years old, and he couldn't keep hiding under the wings of his grandfather and uncle forever.
His status as the eldest uncle made it inconvenient for him to come and visit his grandfather in person or to arrange for someone to take care of him.
Therefore, his most suitable choice was to be sent to the Red Star Commune as an educated youth.
When the train stopped, the people on board began to desperately try to squeeze out. Song Mincheng didn't want to squeeze with them, but he had no choice but to stand in front of the train door early.
Even though he didn't want to squeeze in, he was pushed along by the crowd and became one of the first people to get off the train.
After coming out, he first stood aside, wanting to wait for the other educated youth who had also been sent to the Red Star Commune.
But there were just too many people here. Even though he tried to stand as close to the side as possible, he was still constantly being jostled and pushed around. So he decided to go outside first.
He was initially worried that he wouldn't know anyone from the Red Star Commune and wouldn't be able to find their location.
As soon as he stepped out of the train station, he saw Fang Huai standing with a group of people.
The tension in Song Mincheng's heart eased considerably the moment he saw Fang Huai. He happily ran towards him, carrying his luggage.
"Brother Fang! Did you come to pick me up?"
Fang Huai nodded and ruffled his hair: "These are the cadres of Hongxing Commune, and this is the village chief of Huangjia Village, the brigade you were assigned to."
Song Mingcheng looked up happily: "Huangjia Village?! Brother Fang, have I really been assigned to Huangjia Village?!"
Fang Huai didn't answer, but pulled him aside and whispered, "Yes, we've already spoken to Old Master Song for you."
"As long as you don't flaunt it too much, they won't mind if you meet secretly in private from time to time."
"But you need to be careful of the other educated youths living with you."
