Chi Yin changed her clothes and went to the kitchen. Aunt Li saw her cute appearance and praised her generously.
"Chi Yin, you have such a beautiful figure, a proportion that many women envy. Why don't you wear more skirts? I see you wear Dacron and pants every day. They look good, but they are far inferior to skirts! Oh, you are so handsome! You can't find a figure as handsome as yours in this village!"
Chi Yin's ears turned red from being praised, "Auntie just likes to say nice things."
"Auntie is really praising me!" Auntie Li smiled and pulled Chi Yin's arm, and asked softly, "Tell me, did you make peace with Captain Wei yesterday?"
Chi Yin didn't want to hide it and nodded.
Aunt Li said, "That's right. Although his last name is Wei, the dirty things his mother and brother did have nothing to do with him. Yesterday he even went out to buy a wolfhound for you to guard your house. What a thoughtful person!"
Chi Yin's expression was in suspense. No wonder when she came back in the morning, she saw a ferocious-looking wolfhound tied to the gate.
At this moment, Wei Chengan came in. He stared at Chi Yin for a few seconds before looking away and saying, "Let's go together. I have something to tell you."
Chi Yin nodded, picked up a corn bun and followed him.
Wei Chengan's bicycle was parked outside the courtyard gate. He pushed it over, straddled it with his long legs, put one foot on the ground, looked up at her and said, "Get on, we'll talk while we walk."
...
...
Chi Yin didn't want to do that, but it was time for her to save time, so she got on the car from the side and held onto the edge of the seat with both hands.
After she sat firmly, Wei Cheng'an pushed hard with his long legs, and the car seemed to rush forward a few meters.
Wei Chengan said, "We set up an agricultural credit transfer team at the meeting yesterday, focusing on purchasing loans from trainees in the training class. The amount ranges from 200 to 300 yuan. Wu Ren is in charge of this. If you need it, go and apply to him."
Chi Yin was stunned for two seconds before digesting this. "So, after completing their studies, students can apply for funds to start their own businesses?"
Wei Chengan said, "Yes, it is a kind of agricultural loan for students to start their own businesses. If you pay it back within one year, there is no interest. If you pay it back within two years, you will need to pay 5% interest. But it is the cheapest compared to other bank loans."
Chi Yin nodded. She only had a little over ten yuan left in her hand, which meant she couldn't do much. This loan just solved her shortage of start-up funds.
Wei Chengan turned his head to look at Chi Yin and asked, "Didn't you ask me about my skills last night? How do you feel? Is it much better than four years ago?"
Chi Yin didn't answer. She noticed Wu Ren looking around at the gate of the county party committee compound in front of her.
Chi Yin was thinking about the "Agricultural Credit Redirection Group" that Wei Cheng'an mentioned.
As soon as Wei Chengan stopped the car, Chi Yin let go of his waist and jumped out of the back seat.
Wu Ren, who had been peeking out stealthily, immediately retreated into the courtyard when he saw Wei Chengan and Chi Yin.
Chi Yin ran over and stopped Wu Ren with her hand, smiling like a flower, "Comrade Wu, I heard that you are the leader of the agricultural credit transfer team. Can you apply for a purchase loan for me? I don't need much, just 200 yuan."
"It's not impossible. Anyway, you are Master Zhao's apprentice, and I am not afraid that you will run away." Wu Ren took out a paper and a pen from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, "Here, just sign here."
So fast? Chi Yin was surprised, "Don't you need to verify your identity and household registration information?"
"We are all acquaintances. I trust you." Wu Ren took out an object wrapped in newspaper from his pocket. "Here are twenty ten-yuan bills. Take them."
Chi Yin was so surprised that she accepted it, "Why do you seem to be preparing this for me?"
Wu Ren coughed lightly, touched the tip of his nose and said, "There is a student who also wants to apply for a purchase loan. She said she wants to get it this morning. Look, I'm waiting for her at the door early in the morning."
Chi Yin didn't think about it and happily put the money into the canvas bag she was carrying.
Chi Yin was extremely excited. She held the canvas bag tightly. Before leaving, she raised her fair arms and waved at the two of them. "Then I'm going to the training. Comrade Wu, please come to my house for dinner tonight. I have to thank you very much."
"Okay!" Wu Ren agreed readily.
Wu Ren's eyes were almost glued to Chi Yin's back, and he exclaimed in exaggeration, "The skirt that Chi Yin is wearing today is really beautiful. She has a good figure too. If you don't know her, you would think she is a female celebrity from Guangdong and Hong Kong."
Wei Chengan followed Chi Yin's back with a deep look in his eyes.
In his 28 years of life, this was the first time he had seen someone wear the same clothes in two different styles.
After Chi Yin walked towards the training class, the two of them looked away.
Wu Ren looked at Wei Cheng'an, chin up, and asked for credit, "How is my acting? Is it flawless? I helped you so much, Captain Wei, do you have to buy me a pack of Marlboro?"
Wei Chengan glanced at him calmly, "Twenty yuan a pack, are you sure?"
Wu Ren immediately apologized with a smile, "Then, how about Da Zhonghua? Six yuan a pack! Captain Wei, you are an excellent officer sent by the Construction Corps, and you get paid 130 yuan a month! That's four times our salary!"
Wei Cheng'an didn't say anything, but he walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative across the street.
The supply and marketing cooperative in Yanhe County does not open for business until 8 o'clock, and since it is not a market day, there are few people here.
The supply and marketing cooperative has two floors. The ground floor sells basic daily necessities, while the upstairs sells slightly higher-end goods, such as radios, televisions, and some imported and in-demand commodities.
Liu Qingchun was wearing a white shirt, a red skirt, short stockings and sandals, and a pair of black sunglasses. She looked like a female star in a magazine.
While she was choosing lipstick, she turned around and was about to leave. When she looked back, she found that Wei Chengan and Wu Ren had already been at the nearby counter.
Wei Chengan took out a neatly folded banknote from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit and handed it to the salesperson, "Hello, a pack of Marlboro."
Wu Ren opened his eyes wide in shock, "No, brother, are you really going to buy me a Marlboro?"
"Forget it." Wei Cheng'an put the Marlboro handed to him by the salesperson into his trouser pocket.
"Hey, hey, hey." Wu Ren hurriedly moved closer, and shamelessly reached into Wei Cheng'an's trouser pocket and took something out. "My dear brother, from now on I will never go west if you tell me to go east. You are my real brother, don't worry, leave all the shady things you want to do to me in the future."
Wei Cheng'an was about to say something back when Liu Qingchun's voice rang out from the side, "Cheng'an!"
