Guan Wenru had no idea what trouble Han Haoxian and Liu Yumei had gotten into this time.
She spent the whole morning working at the livestock farm.
At noon, she rode her horse back to her family compound.
Her clothes carried the distinctive mixed smell of the livestock shed. As soon as she entered the house, she went straight to the bathroom. "Grandma, what would you like to eat for lunch?"
Guan Wanxin put down her needlework, her face showing a hint of mystery and joy. "Whatever you want to eat, Grandma will eat. I have some good news today, can you guess?"
Guan Wenru was rubbing her hands with soap when she heard this. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Guan Wanxin. "Is there definite news from Baiyun?"
“That’s right!” Guan Wanxin’s face lit up with a smile. “It’s been approved! Baiyun has decided to come here to work in the countryside. She called today and said she can arrive at the train station in four days.”
"That's great!" Guan Wenru's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Then I'll go herding this afternoon and see if I can run into the Che family and tell them."
"Okay, but you still need to be careful when herding."
"I understand." Guan Wenru had already changed her clothes by then.
She came out and took out pancakes, roast duck, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, and stir-fried mixed vegetables directly from her spatial storage.
The grandfather and grandson quickly finished their meal.
...
While waiting for dinner, Guan Wenru couldn't wait to ride back to the livestock farm.
The person who went out to graze the livestock today is Wang Dagui.
To expand the scale of breeding, the logistics minister selected several soldiers and trained them to be breeders.
Lu Guodong is teaching them how to clean the cattle and sheep sheds and how to milk the cows and sheep.
Guan Wenru couldn't be of much help here, so she went over to Lu Guodong and said, "Brother Guodong, you guys take care of things here. I'm going to find Brother Dagui."
Without a second thought, Lu Guodong waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead, be careful."
After he used Guan Wenru's method to raise those lambs and calves, he admired Guan Wenru greatly.
He would never object to anything she said.
...
Guan Wenru rode his horse to find Wang Dagui. After exchanging a few words, Guan Wenru drove the cattle westward, which was close to the Dahewan Production Brigade.
She waited on the grassland for about half an hour, when she heard the clear sound of horses' hooves and a girl's shouts from afar.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly looked over.
It's Che Xiaoni!
She appeared at the edge of the pasture, riding a chestnut horse and herding a small flock of sheep.
Che Xiaoni saw her at that moment, immediately raised her hand and shouted, "Wenru, Wenru, what a coincidence!"
Guan Wenru smiled broadly and rode over, saying, "It's not a coincidence. I thought I'd come here to try my luck and see if I could run into you."
"?" Che Xiaoni raised an eyebrow. "You need something from me?"
Guan Wenru nodded and got straight to the point, "Xiaoni, I have something important to ask you for a favor. Go back and ask your father!"
Che Xiaoni replied readily, "What is it? Just say it!"
"Here's the thing, I have a younger sister who isn't related to me by blood, named Baiyun. She responded to the call to go to the countryside. I just received the news, and she'll be arriving in our area in four days. The place she'll be assigned to is your commune!"
Hearing this, Che Xiaoni's eyes lit up. "Educated youth go to the countryside to temper their hearts in the vast world! Our commune has never had an educated youth before."
Guan Wenru chuckled, her eyes earnest. "My younger sister is only 18 years old and very innocent. I'm worried that she won't adapt to rural life, so I want her to be closer to me. Could you please ask the brigade leader and the commune if she can volunteer to be assigned to your Dahewan production brigade? I'm afraid she'll be assigned to a production brigade that's too far away."
Che Xiaoni immediately understood Guan Wenru's thoughts.
She did this so that Baiyun could be closer to her and she could take care of her.
Che Xiaoni immediately nodded excitedly, "No problem, I'll tell my dad when I get back."
Fearing that Guan Wenru might be worried, she straightened her chest, patted her chest, and said in a resolute tone, "Wenru, don't worry. Since Baiyun is your sister, she is my sister too! I will definitely ask my dad to arrange for her to join our brigade."
Hearing her promise, Guan Wenru's smile deepened. "Xiaoni, thank you."
"Hey... let's not be so polite between us!"
Guan Wenru then remembered something, and she took out the photos she had developed last night from her bag. "Here, these are for you and Brother Che."
Che Xiaoni took the photo and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's beautiful! Wenru, you took such a good picture of me and my brother!"
There are four photos in total.
Each of the siblings has a solo photo, there's a group photo of them, and there's also a photo of Che Xiaoni and Guan Wenru together.
Seeing how much she loved it, Guan Wenru laughed and said, "I'm glad you like it. We'll take more photos whenever we have the chance, so we can keep them and look at them when we're old."
Che Xiaoni suddenly remembered something and said embarrassedly, "These photos must be expensive, right? Otherwise, I'll pay you..."
“Don’t say things that will affect our friendship,” Guan Wenru interrupted her. “The camera is meant to be used; it’s not expensive at all. Don’t mention money to me.”
Che Xiaoni was deeply moved. "Okay, Wenru, you're so kind!"
When she gets home today, she will definitely get her father to agree.
For Wenru's sake, Comrade Baiyun must come to their production brigade!
After admiring the photos for a while, the two sisters strolled around on horseback.
Knowing that the white clouds would arrive soon, Guan Wenru felt that the cold wind had become exceptionally refreshing and pleasant.
...
Guan Wenru arrived home earlier than He Yanzhi today.
She changed her clothes and took a thorough bath.
She had just come out of the bathroom when she heard familiar, steady, and powerful footsteps approaching and stopping at the door.
