Chapter 153 Where is Captain Lucky's new home?
Three pairs of eyes were staring at Yu Zhile at the same time.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "The first is that the cannery has hired a new captain, and the second is Sheng Lanyue's recent situation."
"Le Le, you guessed too quickly." Hu Shuang waved his hand before he could even settle down for half a minute. "It doesn't make any sense at all."
"Okay, hurry up and tell me." Zhang Wenxin urged.
Hu Shuang did not keep the secret any longer and said, "The cannery has indeed hired a new captain. He is currently in the process of getting in touch with the original team. I think they will notify Grandpa Yu around the autumn harvest."
Autumn harvest is an important node for the ocean-going fleet. After the autumn harvest every year, the crew of the next year will be selected for training. It is indeed a good time to announce the renewal.
At this time, this is also very beneficial to Haiyu Village. They still have more than half a month of buffer time, which is enough to build a new courtyard.
"What about the news about Sheng Lanyue?" Yu Zhile asked.
Hu Shuang leaned over and lifted a stack of newspapers from the bench onto the table. He picked up a newspaper and showed it to the audience. He said, "Look!"
In the center of the page was a photo of Sheng Lanyue opening her hands to say farewell, with the title in bold and black font - A rising star in the Chinese dance world.
In the few remaining places, the reporters used all their life's literary cultivation to pile all the beautiful words on him.
"Wow, Sheng Lanyue is on the headlines of Beijing Evening News. This photo is so well taken." Zhang Wenxin exclaimed.
"Not only that, but also the Beijing Military District Newspaper, Beijing Morning Newspaper, and Beijing Youth Newspaper." Hu Shuang put down this one and picked up the others to show them one by one. "These were all sent back by my mother."
Yu Zhile's smile grew wider and he congratulated silently in his heart.
At that time, the members of the fishing team had just finished their morning study and came out of the book corner. When they came closer, they couldn't help but think of the scene in the firelight that made everyone unable to take their eyes off.
"My mother sent two copies, one for the book corner and one for Lele." Hu Shuangshuang said as he divided the newspapers into two piles.
Yu Zhile put the newspaper into the book corner, picked up his own copy, and said to her, "Let's go home and have dinner."
After saying that, the group left the yard talking and laughing, and the yard suddenly became quiet.
Shortly after they left, Li Ran walked into the book corner and started flipping through a brand new newspaper.
At the same time, the same newspaper was circulated in Yu's courtyard.
"Why has Xiaosheng lost so much weight?" Yu Wanqin said.
Yu Haiguang explained: "The children in the art troupe never eat on time, and sometimes they rehearse for the whole day."
"It's not easy to be the best. Their parents must be proud and distressed." Yu Wanqin sighed.
Zhou Yuesheng thought of the army's year-end parade and said, "The army has a parade every December, and family members can go to watch it. Sheng Lanyue will definitely attend this year."
"I want to go." Yu Zhile said frankly.
Hu Shuang had never been keen on these performances, but when he heard that she was going to Beijing, he quickly said, "Then I'll go this year too, so we can ride the train together."
Lan Yuanyuan also showed great interest, but she was more concerned about the costumes of the musical.
"Then let's go together. I'll buy you tickets." Yu Haiguang said, "Stay in Beijing for a few more days and have a good look around."
After just a few casual chats, the group decided on their itinerary for mid-to-late December.
At this time, Yu Yue and Chen Zhao had cooked the food and served it to the table. Everyone stopped talking about this topic and started eating happily.
Hu Shuang stayed in Haiyu Village for another two days and had a wonderful life there.
During the day, he would either go to the shrimp pond to join in the fun or stroll around the courtyard. In the evening, he would help the sideline group rehearse model operas and even take a trip out to sea on the fishing team's boat.
The day after she left, the village sent out another batch of canned spicy jellyfish, this time a total of 500 cans.
Ge Xiaoju and Zhang Ling ordered a few more cans. They planned to promote the brand when they passed by other towns on their way back, and try their best to increase the popularity of the Haiyu brand.
After they set off, Yu Zhile, Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue discussed the new courtyard.
"You said you want to use blue bricks to build it?" Yu Chuyue suspected that she had heard it wrong and asked in surprise.
The production of blue bricks is low and expensive, and there are not many families in the village who can live in blue brick and tile houses. She thinks it is a bit of a waste.
Yu Zhile gave the reason: "We make imported products, so hygiene is the most important thing. When the brand becomes famous, people will definitely come to us to discuss cooperation. The first impression is very important."
Zhang Wenxin nodded in agreement with her idea.
Yu Chuyue pondered for a while and felt that what she said made sense. She said, "But blue bricks are not that easy to get. I heard that there is always a long queue at the brick factory. You have to wait at least three months."
According to the current situation in Haiyu Village, we definitely can't wait that long.
"I'll take some time to ask in the next two days." Yu Zhile said, "It would be best if we can start work before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yu Chuyue agreed and made a mark on the notepad.
Near noon, the three of them got up and went home. They met the other members of the small team who had just finished their study and they walked out together again.
"The manuscript I submitted to Beijing Youth Daily was returned." Yu Baiwei took the initiative to talk about the article, with a lost expression.
Zhang Wenxin said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. If this newspaper doesn't accept it, just submit it to another one. If your writing is good, there will definitely be people who will appreciate it."
"I changed the envelope and stamps and sent it to the newspaper in the provincial capital." Yu Baiwei responded.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "This is a good mentality, and it will help you succeed."
Her friends all agreed and said they wanted to learn from Yu Baiwei, which made her blush. The bad mood in her heart also disappeared without a trace because of their praise.
When they reached a fork in the road, everyone separated and went home.
After lunch, Yu Zhile was preparing to take a nap, but saw Zhou Yuesheng pushing his bicycle out.
"Where are you going?" she called out to him.
Zhou Yuesheng didn't explain in detail, just said he was going to the town to look for someone.
"I'm going too. We need to order blue bricks for the new courtyard, so I'm going to the brick factory." Yu Zhile went back to the house to get the blueprint and was ready to go out with him.
"Give it to me. I'm on my way." Zhou Yuesheng looked at her blue eyes and touched her face distressedly. "You still have to watch the rehearsal in the evening and get up early tomorrow. Sleep more at noon."
Yu Zhile opened his arms for a hug, and he pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "Thank you, Brother Sheng."
Zhou Yuesheng patted her head twice, gave her a quick kiss when she looked up, and told her to go into the house and rest.
Yu Zhile didn't come back until she went to the sideline group's courtyard to rehearse. The two met again after the rehearsal, and Zhou Yuesheng went to the courtyard to pick her up.
"I showed them the drawings, and they said they would need two truckloads of bricks. But if we follow the normal procedure, we'll have to wait four or five months." Zhou Yuesheng held her hand and conveyed the brick factory's reply.
It took longer than expected. Yu Zhile sighed secretly and decided to make do with it for a while and renovate it after buying bricks.
"But." Zhou Yuesheng paused.
Yu Zhile's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have any other way to get bricks?"
With the help of the flashlight, Zhou Yuesheng could see the joy on her face by turning his head, so he told her directly without hiding it. Coincidentally, he went to find Ning Tan after coming out of the brick factory, and as soon as he stepped into the armed forces department, he heard the officer in charge of civilian work talking about neighbors.
His neighbor was a small manager of the shipyard. Half a year ago, he was assigned a more spacious yard and wanted to bring his parents from the countryside to the city to enjoy a better life, but the old couple did not want to leave their hometown. He wanted to build a good yard for his parents, so he used all his connections to get a note to order a few trucks of blue bricks from the brick factory. After waiting for half a year, the blue bricks just arrived, but the old couple could not resist the persuasion of their grandchildren and finally agreed to move to the city.
Zhou Yuesheng found out the other party's identity and immediately went to the shipyard to find him. The other party just happened to have only two cars left.
"This is such a coincidence." Yu Zhile exclaimed.
Every step seemed to be well designed. If there was any mistake in any link, they would not be able to buy this batch of bricks.
"You have always been lucky." Zhou Yuesheng said.
He recalled her previous experience of fishing at the sea, where she always found more seafood than others.
Yu Zhile stopped, tiptoed and pecked his lips, saying, "Your hard work is also behind this luck."
The next second, the flashlight went out and the two blended into the night.
The heavy object fell to the ground, and the breaths merged. As the distance shortened, the hearts also came closer.
That night, Yu Zhile, who had solved a difficult problem, stayed awake all night and worked with greater energy the next day.
The blue bricks were delivered to Haiyu Village that afternoon and piled up in an open space near the courtyard of the sideline group, attracting the attention of villagers and causing some controversy.
The old branch secretary held a short meeting in the evening, explained the reason for building the green-tiled courtyard, and informed everyone that a non-staple food processing factory would be established in the village.
This name sounded very big and soon overshadowed the matter of blue bricks, becoming the topic of conversation among villagers after dinner.
In the next few days, they delivered the third and fourth batches of canned fresh jellyfish, finally completing all the orders and receiving the full balance.
During this period, the shrimp pond was completed and Yu Zhile also organized a rehearsal for all staff.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the heads of all the groups in the sideline group gathered in the courtyard for a meeting.
Similar to the previous process, Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin respectively summarized the recent work performance of the teams they were responsible for, announced the work focus for the next three months, and finally made personnel adjustments.
"Construction of the new courtyard No. 17 has begun." Yu Zhile said, "Time is tight, so all members of the food team have to help. The fish paste team and the food stall staff will prepare the meal together."
"Okay." The leaders of the mentioned groups responded in unison.
After the meeting, Yu Zhile and Chen Zhao went home. As they were walking, they heard the sound of bicycle bells behind them.
Afterwards, Zhou Yuesheng stopped the car beside them and let Chen Zhao ride home. He took Yu Zhile's hand and walked slowly towards home.
"Why do you always go to town recently?" Yu Zhile scratched his palm, "I can't see you all the time."
Zhou Yuesheng had only said a few words when he was interrupted by the sound of conversation.
The two turned around in confusion and saw several people carrying packages talking, but they looked at each other with vigilance.
"Brother, do you know where Captain Yu's new home is?" One of them trotted forward and asked.
