Chapter 121 You're leaving, I can't sleep
When it comes to building connections, Wen Tang always feels that it is easier to bring Gu Yanli along.
The two men groped their way to the captain's house in the dark, where his family were ready to rest.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, and the captain's wife, Wu Guifang, came out with her clothes draped over her shoulders. "Who is it?" she asked outside the door.
"It's me, Yan Li."
As Gu Yanli was speaking, the courtyard door was already opened from the inside.
Seeing that it was Gu Yanli and Wen Tang standing outside, Wu Guifang quickly made way for her aunt and asked, "Yanli, why are you two here at this time?"
"Come on, come in."
Wen Tang followed Gu Yanli into the yard and was about to call her aunt because Wu Guifang was indeed old enough for an aunt.
But Gu Yanli said, "Sister-in-law, where is Brother Xu? Is he home?"
Because Xu Huaishan is Xu Zhongguo's third uncle, and Xu Huaishan is Gu Yanli's uncle, so although he is young, he is of the same generation as Xu Zhongguo.
Wu Guifang smiled and nodded, pointing to the east room and said, "Yes, in the east room!"
As she spoke, she shouted towards the east room of her house, "His father, his father..."
Xu Zhongguo then came out of the house wearing his clothes.
When he saw who was coming, he quickly put on his clothes and let Gu Yanli and Wen Tang into the house.
Wu Guifang also hurried to get the thermos and make tea for the two of them.
When Xu Zhongguo took a glance at the wine in Gu Yanli's hand, he realized that these two people came for something.
Otherwise, he wouldn't come to my house so late at night and bring drinks.
He was just curious. What could be the matter that Gu Yanli couldn't do, yet why did she still come to him for help?
Although the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, he still has to be someone who can really manage. He is just a team leader, and all he manages is a small piece of land, which is of little use.
Gu Yanli put the wine on the table, and Xu Zhongguo said, "Look at you two, you just come, why do you bring things with you?"
Gu Yanli also smiled and said, "It's not the New Year yet. It's not good to come empty-handed."
"It's not a good wine. If you don't mind, try it."
Xu Zhongguo quickly picked it up with both hands and rubbed it carefully for a while, "Oh, what are you disgusted with? You know I like it."
As he spoke, he winked at Gu Yanli, "Usually your sister-in-law always controls me and doesn't allow me to drink..."
As he was speaking, Wu Guifang came over with a thermos.
Wu Guifang asked with a smile as she entered the room, "What bad things are you saying about me now?"
Xu Zhongguo quickly declared his innocence, "No, I just told Yan Li that this wine was brought by Yan Li, and you can't stop me from drinking it."
Wu Guifang smiled and scolded, "You too, you are of the same generation as Yan Li, you can also drink Yan Li's wine."
Xu Zhongguo felt embarrassed to offer the wine because of what he said.
Gu Yanli quickly said, "I rarely come back on weekdays, and I rarely come back for the New Year this year, so I came here to sit down. Even if my sister-in-law asked me to come empty-handed, I would be embarrassed."
Having said that, Gu Yanli took the opportunity to say, "Actually, the main reason I came here today is because I want big brother's help again."
Some things need to be said right away. Beating around the bush makes you seem insincere.
So after Gu Yanli finished speaking, Xu Zhongguo quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Then he said, "Yan Li, we are not strangers here, just tell us what you have to say."
"As long as I can help, just tell me and I will definitely help."
Gu Yanli looked at Wen Tang, and Wen Tang immediately said, "Captain, it wasn't Yanli who asked you for help, it was me."
Xu Zhongguo was a little cautious, but still said, "You go ahead."
He thought that since Gu Yanli was willing to bring people to his house, it meant that this matter would not harm anyone.
After all, Gu Yanli is not the kind of person who can't figure things out.
Wen Tang told them that he wanted to make soap and sell it under the banner of the Xiangxing Brigade.
"Captain, the higher-ups haven't banned collective economy, so we can do this."
"And when I can sell them, I will hire one person to work in each store and pay them the same salary as working in the city."
"In the early stages when I don't need your help, I will give 10% of my income after deducting costs to the team."
"Then the captain can use it to buy some rice, flour, oil, or cloth and distribute it to each household to increase our collective income."
Fearing that Xu Zhongguo would disagree, Wen Tang said, "Captain, don't worry, I will never cause any trouble to our team. I just need you to stamp the official seal for me. After that, I will negotiate with external parties. If they are willing to provide us with a place to sell, I will sell it. If they are not willing, I will leave immediately and will never entangle or cause any trouble to you, Brother Xu."
At the end of his speech, Wen Tang started addressing him as Brother Xu, and Xu Zhongguo just waved his hand to indicate that it was not that serious.
Wu Guifang was curious, "Wife Yan Li, how come you can do this?"
"I saw it in a book before, and I had nothing to do before the New Year, so I tinkered with it. I didn't expect that I could actually make it."
"I thought this is a hot commodity. If we can sell it outside, there will surely be a lot of people buying it, right?"
"When we sell the food outside and make money, won't everyone's life improve?"
Wu Guifang listened and thought it was indeed a good thing, especially since every household could send one person to work and get paid the same as people in the city.
But Xu Zhongguo still said, "Yan Li, Yan Li's wife, I have taken note of what you two said, but I still need to think about it."
He asked again, "Is this urgent?"
Wen Tang shook his head, "Just think it over and get back to me."
Xu Zhongguo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get back to you when I've thought it through."
"Okay, then we won't disturb Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law from resting."
When Gu Yanli led his people away, Xu Zhongguo wanted to take the wine back, but Gu Yanli refused and Xu Zhongguo did not insist.
Gu Yanli knew about this, and as long as Xu Zhongguo went to inquire about it and it was not dangerous, he would agree.
If he doesn't want the wine no matter what, then there's no hope for this matter.
So, when Wen Tang asked him in bed, "Do you think the captain can agree?"
Gu Yanli said, "He will probably agree, but he will definitely find someone to sound out the situation. After that, he will probably get back to you."
Gu Yanli left home the next morning.
This time when Gu Yanli left, Wen Tang got up to see him off.
Last time she was lying there sleeping without moving at all, but this time she woke up when Gu Yanli was packing up.
Gu Yanli was stunned by his movements, "Did I disturb you?"
His hands, when holding things, moved even slower, like a dummy.
Wen Tang propped his head up with his hands and burst out laughing, "No, I just couldn't sleep thinking about you leaving again."
She said, lying there with her arms open, "Hug!"
Gu Yanli: "..."
Can I just take it away?
She can’t be taken away. Isn’t that torturing me?
Although he felt tortured, Gu Yanli still went over and hugged the person tightly, and did not forget to tell him in a gentle voice, "I will write to you when I get there. Remember to reply to me when you receive the letter."
"If you get pregnant, you must write to me," Xiang Xiang said, "Writing is too slow, you can send me a telegram!"
