Chapter 182 Finale
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Fubao took Ning Huiyue, Yu Anmin and Yu Jingyue to the county town for a stroll. Unexpectedly, they met Li Mingshuan and his wife. Li Mingshuan and his wife were naturally overjoyed to see Fubao and asked about his family.
Fubao talked about his encounter with his relatives and introduced his family members.
Yu Anmin and the others had long heard Fubao talk about Secretary Li's help for his daughter. Upon learning that this was Li Mingshuan and his wife, they naturally stepped forward to shake hands and exchange names. They were surprised to discover that a previous project Yu Anmin had overseen involved Li Mingshuan, instantly bringing them closer. Li Mingshuan sincerely asked Yu Anmin for details on the project. After all, as the county's director, he wasn't familiar with the specific arrangements and felt a bit unsure. Seeing this, Yu Anmin realized he wasn't an outsider, so he shared everything he could with Li Mingshuan, who was naturally grateful.
Both sides had a good chat, so they decided to have a meal together. Sun Yanhong couldn't help but say a few words about Fubao: "Fubao is a child who loves reading. When she came to the county town, she couldn't take her eyes off the Xinhua Bookstore. She looked like she wanted to move the Xinhua Bookstore back home!"
Fubao pursed his lips and smiled: "It was all thanks to Aunt Sun who gave me her book ticket. Otherwise, how could I have bought the book!"
Ning Huiyue held Sun Yanhong's hand and said, "I've heard Fubao mention it several times, saying how you helped her back then. She also said that at that critical moment, when food was scarce in the county town, you specifically asked Jianbai to send her fried dough sticks, fruits, and other dried food. It was a huge help."
Sun Yanhong felt a little embarrassed. "Oh, that's all in the past. We had so many book tickets back then that we couldn't use them all! Besides, Fubao is so lovely. I liked her the moment I saw her. She's sensible and smart. Who wouldn't love a child like her?"
Of course I'm embarrassed to say that I really loved Fubao at that time, and I was thinking how nice it would be if she could be my daughter-in-law in the future.
But now Fubao is a college student at the Imperial University of Peking. Although Mingshuan is not very good either, the school's reputation is still not as good as Fubao's. Besides, Fubao is so outstanding and has such parents. I'm afraid Mingshuan is not worthy of him.
Li Jianbai also came over at that moment, and was stunned when he saw Fubao.
Sun Yanhong quickly introduced them to Li Jianbai, and Li Jianbai politely greeted the Yu family.
Ning Huiyue looked at Li Jianbai and liked him for a moment. The young man was good-looking, polite, and a college student from a good university - although he was still not as good as her own Fubao.
At that moment, the parents from both sides were chatting there, and the conversation was in full swing. Fubao happened to be next to Li Jianbai, so he started talking to Li Jianbai, just exchanging ideas about how your school is and how our school is. Both parties also left their contact addresses so that they could write to each other later.
Li Jianbai talked about the class reunion again: "We have discussed having a reunion in high school, probably on the ninth day of the first lunar month. Several classmates mentioned you and said they are looking forward to you coming."
What Li Jianbai didn't say was that countless classmates were grateful to Fubao. They all felt that it was Fubao who changed their lives. They wanted to get together with Fubao and chat with him, and talk about the changes and troubles in college. They wanted to hear Fubao talk about it.
Yu Anmin heard they were planning a class reunion: "That's great. Fubao, you can stay here and go back a few days later. You'll understand later that the friendship between classmates is the purest and most worth cherishing. When you enter society, you won't have the chance to have this kind of friendship again."
They had originally planned to return to the capital on the sixth day of the New Year, but after hearing this, they naturally wanted Fubao to stay and attend the class reunion.
Ning Huiyue also agreed: "When the time comes, we will take your grandfather back first, and you will stay here. You must attend the class reunion, and you can also spend more time with your grandmother and your mother."
Li Jianbai looked at Fubao expectantly. Of course, he also hoped that Fubao could attend this class reunion.
Fubao thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back after the ninth day of the lunar new year."
Their school starts on the 16th day of the first lunar month, while their parents start work on the 8th. For the sake of the class reunion, it seems they have to go back separately.
After the two families chatted for a while, Ning Huiyue and Sun Aihong were fine, but Yu Anmin and Li Mingshuan naturally felt a sense of mutual admiration. As men, they could get along well and had some connection in their careers. In the end, they naturally shook hands warmly and said that they would keep in touch in the future.
After returning to Dagunzi Mountain in an ox cart, Ning Huiyue told them about this matter. Miao Xiuju, Liu Guizhi, and the others naturally agreed. They also hoped that Fubao would stay for a while longer. As for Xiao Dingkun, he was silent for a moment, but then said, "Then I'll stay too."
Fu Bao was a little surprised: "Aren't you busy on the eighth day of the first lunar month?" Xiao Dingkun said calmly: "It's not important, it can be postponed."
The women looked at each other, then laughed secretly. Miao Xiuju said directly, "Hey, wherever our Fubao is, Dingkun is there. He's just reluctant to leave. Okay, okay, it's nothing. If you're willing to give up your business, how can we be reluctant to give up a few meals here?"
This made everyone laugh. Fubao felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
Of course she was happy that Xiao Dingkun could stay.
Now many things between the two of them have been almost talked out, and they are in a sweet relationship. They just want to be together every day. It's a pity that they are now in their hometown, and her parents on both sides are watching her. She doesn't even have the chance to talk to Xiao Dingkun much.
Now that he is willing to stay in his hometown and spend more time with me, I am naturally happy.
Xiao Dingkun coughed lightly amid the laughter of several women.
He was usually a very steady and calm person, and this rare moment of discomfort was noticed by everyone, which made him laugh even more.
——
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Gu family, Huo Jinyun, Su Wanru and others boarded a train and left Dagunzi Mountain. The villagers of Pingxi Village saw them off for a long distance.
After seeing off so many people, Gu Weidong's house seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and it was a bit lonely. Fortunately, after the seventh day of the New Year, the eighth day would be the time for opening. The store in the county town, Gu Weidong's business, and Liu Guizhi's work in the factory were all about to start. Even the small barber shop at the entrance of the village set off a string of firecrackers for good luck.
Because all the members of the Yu and Huo families had left, only Xiao Dingkun was left. When everyone asked around, they found out that Xiao Dingkun and Fubao were dating. They were filled with emotion at the moment. They thought about how Xiao Dingkun was such a capable young man when he went to the countryside. He was more capable than most adults. Fubao was still a little kid at that time. They didn't expect that more than ten years later, these two people would actually get together. It was really fate.
Xiao Dingkun was very calm about everyone's surprise. Gu Weidong had started doing business these days and would ask him for advice on some things. Xiao Dingkun was knowledgeable, so he gave Gu Weidong some ideas, which Gu Weidong found very useful.
Gu Weidong did not treat this "future son-in-law" as his father-in-law. He had admired Xiao Dingkun very much before, and now that he had become his future son-in-law, he still admired him very much.
Xiao Dingkun has been at Gu's house these days. In addition to helping Gu Weidong with advice, he also talked with Liu Guizhi about Liu Guizhi's current clothing manufacturing. According to him, Liu Guizhi's clothing production contains many traditional Chinese elements. If these elements are sold abroad, they may sell well.
Liu Guizhi was a little confused. When Ning Huiyue asked her to sell it in the capital, she felt scared and uncertain. Why did Xiao Dingkun now ask her to sell it abroad?
Xiao Dingkun was very optimistic and gave Liu Guizhi a complete planning scheme. He even talked about investing in building a factory in Pingxi Village to specialize in producing local traditional clothing, which he would sell abroad.
factory?
Gu Weidong and others found it a little unbelievable, so Xiao Dingkun didn't say much. He had already started to think about how much the infrastructure cost, labor cost, and logistics cost of shipping to foreign countries would be if he invested in a factory in Pingxi Village.
He is now engaged in foreign trade business, so naturally he has his own grasp of foreign market demand and feels that this deal can be done.
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fubao and Gu Shengtian were going to the county town to attend a class reunion. Fubao specifically asked Xiao Dingkun, "Are you going?"
Xiao Dingkun was helping to build a pigpen at this time because Miao Xiuju said she wanted to raise two more pigs. Upon hearing this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I won't go to your class reunion."
Fubao laughed: "Really? Then I will really go there by myself."
Ever since Yu Anmin and Huo Jinyun left, Gu Weidong and Liu Guizhi have been helping him with his business. When Xiao Dingkun is not talking to them about business, he is always by his side, accompanying him to the mountains to pick some wild game, or helping him chop vegetables and feed chickens.
Fubao knew that his eyes never left him.
Fubao felt sweet and satisfied, but also a little embarrassed. After all, he was at home and it was too obvious.
Xiao Dingkun didn't say anything. He turned around and glanced at Fubao calmly: "Go ahead, have fun."
As he said this, he also warned: "If a male classmate hands you a letter, don't take it."
Fubao burst out laughing when he heard this.
