An Baogen nodded.
“Okay, we will seriously consider Zhuang Zhiqing’s suggestions.”
Report it to the commune for approval as soon as possible, and then we'll see how things go.
You need five more female comrades, right?
This time, I'm leaving that decision to Zhuang Zhiqing; you can choose whoever you want.
Zhuang Zhimeng suddenly thought of something.
"Uncle Baogen, I have one more request."
"What are your requirements? Tell me."
"If the ideas I've provided require personnel, I don't want to arrange for anyone from An Fugui's family to be involved."
Since they have nothing to do with us anymore, we don't want to take them with us when we're making money.
They even tried to steal from my and Aber's house while we were away. That's outrageous!
An Baogen sighed.
"I understand. It's all their own fault. They won't take you on if you don't want them to make money."
Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.
"I have already selected the five female comrades I've chosen this time, and I'd like to inform you of that first."
Aunt Tian and Aunt Wang, plus my mother-in-law, are my two sisters-in-law.
If we do well this time, maybe we'll have another chance like this next time, and I'll look for someone else.
Don't accuse me of giving all the benefits to my own people; after all, I was the one who brought this opportunity here.
"Without me, our brigade probably wouldn't have had this opportunity."
An Baogen waved his hand.
"I told you to let Zhuang Zhiqing choose for herself; you can choose whoever you want."
You must ensure quality control; you absolutely cannot bring shame to our team.
"Don't worry about that."
There's also the personal connection involved; I can't tarnish my own reputation.
How long will it take you?
"It'll be about a month. Starting tomorrow, they'll all come to my house. I'll be responsible for teaching them, and they'll get paid for every piece they finish embroidering."
"Okay, then none of you seven need to come to work for the next month."
There's not much work to do, so you guys should hurry up and finish the tasks they gave you."
"Okay, Uncle Baogen, Uncle Zaimin, Aunt Tian, we'll be going now."
"Okay, you guys go ahead."
An Zaimin and other educated youths from Zhuang and An Laosan left before they felt emotional.
"This educated youth Zhuang is truly a hero of our brigade; he was still thinking about our brigade even while on the train!"
An Baogen nodded in agreement.
“I have a feeling that if we follow Zhuang Zhiqing, our brigade will gradually develop.”
Tian Cuie smiled sarcastically.
"What was An Fugui thinking? He even let his son steal bicycles."
"If they don't steal the bicycle, they won't earn a single penny from any of Zhuang Zhiqing's ideas. What do you think they're after?"
An Baogen and An Zaimin both shook their heads.
"He must have been kicked in the head by one of the donkeys in our village."
"He's throwing away the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed; he'll regret it later."
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai walked out side by side.
"Ah Bo, don't you have to go to work?"
An Qingbai shook his head.
"One of us, Mengmeng or I, is enough."
Uncle Baogen recommended someone to learn how to drive a tractor, so that he might have more free time when he's not busy.
Zhuang Zhimeng's eyes lit up.
"Let's hurry home, I really want to eat something right now."
"What would you like to eat, baby?"
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled mysteriously.
"Hehe, you'll find out when you get home."
The couple walked home quickly.
When they arrived home, Zhimeng closed all the windows before taking her lover's hand and sitting down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Ah-Bo, have you ever eaten durian?"
"Is durian the same thorny thing you keep in your warehouse, my darling?"
"That's the one, have you tried it?"
"No, I saw you leave it there, and I always thought it wasn't for eating."
"Hehe, I didn't remember to eat it after I drew it."
I suddenly have a strong craving for this.
Zhuang Zhimeng took out the durian as she spoke.
An Qingbai caught a whiff of something, leaned forward to smell it, and immediately took two steps back.
"Honey, is this really safe to eat? It doesn't taste bad, does it?"
"Haha, this tastes so authentic! Durian is known as the king of fruits!"
Zhuang Zhimeng took out a knife, split the durian open, and fed a piece of fruit to her lover.
"Honey, you can try it. Just don't smell it, just eat it."
An Qingbai pinched his nose and took a bite.
"Hey, it tastes pretty good, and it doesn't smell bad at all."
"Right? Durian is really delicious."
"Take a piece and eat it yourself, I'm not going to bother you anymore, I'm going to start eating."
An Qingbai spent a long time mentally preparing himself before finally grabbing a piece of durian flesh.
"Haha, wash your hands with soap in a bit."
An Qingbai smiled indulgently.
"Hehe, if it weren't for my wife, I probably would never have eaten durian in my entire life."
"This durian is just like stinky tofu; it smells bad but tastes delicious."
You'll find it gets better and better the more you eat it.
Zhuang Zhimeng ate heartily, and An Qingbai, influenced by his wife, also opened his mouth wide to bite.
The couple ate a total of half a durian.
An Qingbai brought hot water and carefully washed his wife's and his own hands.
An Qingbai looked at his wife helplessly.
"Honey, what are we going to do about this smell in our house? I can always smell it."
Zhuang Zhimeng took out an air-purifying spray from the warehouse.
"Just spray it with this spray."
An Qingbai picked up the sprayer and sprayed it all over.
"Let's go clean the guest room again; we'll be using it tomorrow."
"good."
The couple went to the village entrance to wait in the afternoon.
"Honey, did your aunt say when she'll be coming?"
Zhuang Zhimeng thought about it.
