After thanking Ming'er, Shiyue talked to her about continuing their collaboration.
Perhaps because he made a lot of money this time, he was particularly generous tomorrow.
They said that as long as Shiyue and her team could produce it, they would accept it all!
To show her sincerity, she also sent three pictures.
This picture is different from the pictures I posted online before; it looks like it was specially designed.
The dimensions and materials to be used are even clearly marked on it.
Ming'er said that Shiyue should make one of each of these three designs as a sample. If they check it and find it acceptable, they can place another large order.
Shiyue did not agree immediately, only saying that she had to go to another city for a while and would talk about it when she returned.
"What are you thinking about?"
While Shiyue was chatting with Ming'er, He Lixuan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"Ah, I wasn't thinking about anything." Shiyue was startled and quickly regained her composure.
“I didn’t know I was going to Suifeng this time, so I didn’t bring much money or coupons. I only brought about eighty yuan and fifty jin of national grain coupons. But if you want to buy anything, you should tell me first and use this money to buy it. Don’t add any more money to your account,” He Lixuan said.
Shiyue laughed after hearing this: "Eighty-odd yuan isn't much? I'm curious how much money your parents gave you when you went to the countryside? This amount of money is equivalent to the entire savings of many people."
She looked at He Lixuan and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you before I buy anything. I don't have that much money to spend."
He Lixuan was clearly satisfied with Shi Yue's answer, and he showed a rare smile.
Shen Yuanbai returned just before lunchtime.
After entering, he didn't stand on ceremony with the two of them and said directly, "Let's go, come with me to the canteen. The food here at the food factory is pretty good, and if we're lucky, we might even get to eat meat."
As he spoke, he went to get the rice bowl.
Shiyue quickly stopped him.
Shiyue said, "Uncle Shen, don't rush to eat. We have something to ask of you."
Shen Yuanbai raised an eyebrow.
Shen Yuanbai felt very sad after hearing his daughter talk about the elderly couple from the He family yesterday.
After all, I almost ended up on the same path.
When he saw the two young men today, he assumed they had just come to say hello and were about to leave.
Shen Yuanbai didn't think much of it, only that he would try to persuade He Lixuan properly during dinner later, and then find a way to get them more things.
We'll have Shiyue take some back with her, and the rest will be convenient for He Lixuan to send to his parents.
But he didn't expect that Shiyue would ask him for help this time.
So he stopped and said, "What is it? Tell me."
Shiyue told them about how they remembered Suifeng but couldn't buy train tickets.
Shen Yuanbai was immediately shocked.
"You two are going to Suifeng?" He asked, his voice rising with surprise.
"Yes, Uncle, we've thought about it, and now is the best opportunity. If we don't take this chance to go out, it will be difficult to come out again after we go back."
So, could you possibly get us two train tickets to that place?
Shen Yuanbai did not answer immediately, but instead re-examined the two young men in front of him.
He then realized that he hadn't thought much about it before, but the two people in front of him clearly had feelings for each other.
After figuring this out, and recalling the past, Shen Yuanbai realized that many details had already explained this point.
He felt he had no right to interfere in Shi Yue's love life, and he also had a strong liking for He Lixuan.
But thinking about the current situation of this young man's parents, thinking about Song Wen who just passed away, and thinking about the state of the world...
A deep sense of worry arose in Shen Yuanbai's heart.
He didn't look at He Lixuan, but instead looked at Shiyue and said, "Have you thought this through? You need to understand that this path is not easy to take."
Shen Yuanbai's tone was very solemn, and his expression was more serious than ever before.
So much so that Shiyue couldn't even treat it as a simple inquiry.
She paused, then bit her lip and nodded seriously, saying, "I've made up my mind."
Shen Yuanbai then looked at He Lixuan and patted him hard on the shoulder twice.
He Lixuan naturally understood Shen Yuanbai's meaning. He wanted to explain, but he saw Shiyue staring intently at him with a warning in her eyes.
It was as if if he dared to say another word, this person would immediately turn on him!
He Lixuan silently closed his mouth, clenched his teeth, and stretched his jaw into a straight line.
Shen Yuanbai went out to find someone, gave them a few instructions, and then came back to take the two of them to the cafeteria.
This time, instead of offering words of comfort, he carefully explained to them what they needed to prepare and what they needed to be aware of when they arrived in Suifeng…
Shi Yue then learned that Uncle Shen had lived there before the liberation.
Shen Yuanbai looked at their clothes and then called his daughter after returning home, asking her to bring over the military overcoat he was wearing that evening.
Then he told He Lixuan that he also had one, and that He Lixuan should wear it when the time came.
Neither of them refused.
After finishing talking about all these things, Shiyue told Shen Yuanbai what she had said to Captain Sun, and naturally did not hide the matter of the order.
Shen Yuanbai was completely dumbfounded!
He Lixuan was equally dumbfounded.
He knew that the team was working overtime to make gift boxes, but he never imagined that it was all a huge lie told by Shiyue!
She kept calling him Uncle Shen, saying that everyone in the brigade knew that the gift box had been sent to the provincial capital's food factory, but who would have thought that Secretary Shen was completely unaware of it!
Seeing that the two of them were looking at her like she was a monster, Shiyue felt embarrassed.
She rubbed her nose and said, "I did sell that gift box to an older sister I knew before. Uncle, I'm telling you this so you can help me send a telegram to the team, or make a phone call, that would be fine too."
Tell them that we went to Jiannan with some people from your factory, and we might be a few days late coming back.
Shen Yuanbai ignored what Shiyue said next and asked directly, "Who did you sell the gift box to? You didn't go to the black market, did you?"
"I'm telling you, Shiyue, don't be reckless! You're just a kid and don't understand; it's extremely dangerous there!"
He stood up angrily and pointed forcefully at Shiyue.
You could tell the old man was so angry he wanted to yell at someone, but he couldn't yell at Shiyue.
He was really getting frustrated.
He Lixuan had been to the black market, but he didn't think going there once was anything extraordinary.
But he was also shocked by Shiyue's audacity.
He felt that this girl was very different from what he had imagined.
Seeing that Uncle Shen was about to explode, Shiyue became anxious too.
She waved her hands frantically: "No, no, I didn't go to the black market. I don't even know which way the black market door faces!"
It's an older sister I knew before. She doesn't want me to tell anyone her name. But we've known each other for a long time, and I assure you the things are perfectly safe with her!
