Chapter 124: A Visitor from Xiaoyanggou
Uncle Agen and his friends arrived yesterday, and Qiao Junxian took Yue Ning to Pengcheng early in the morning.
Qiao Junxian's car stopped at the border, and he helped Yue Ning carry the bags, and they crossed the border together.
After crossing the border, we boarded a half-used van from their factory. Qiao Junxian said, "We took it over as old equipment."
At that time, Pengcheng was just a small county town in the south. Even the main roads were full of potholes, and cars had to bounce all the way.
"We're here!" Qiao Junxian pointed to the construction site ahead and said, "That's our factory."
Bricklayers are building a wall on bamboo scaffolding.
Yue Ning got off the car and looked at the slightly desolate industrial area. He really couldn't connect it with the future, the most dynamic city in China with skyscrapers and high-tech companies.
In this life, she had the good fortune to witness this city grow from scratch to take off.
A little further ahead, the school gate had not been demolished yet. The car drove into the gate and stopped on the playground.
There were already quite a few people inside the school building which was surrounded on three sides.
Yue Ning followed Qiao Junxian out of the car, and a gentleman in a shirt and trousers came out of the west school building. When the gentleman saw Qiao Junxian, he walked over and asked, "Mr. Qiao is here?"
"Well, my girlfriend's relatives from the northwest are here. I brought her here today." Qiao Junxian introduced the two people, "This is Mr. Shi Junmao, the head of Thailand Yongfu Group. My girlfriend, Miss Yue Ning."
Shi Junmao extended his hand: "Hello, Miss Yue."
"Hello, Mr. Shi."
Qiao Junxian told Yue Ning: "Yongfu Group has obtained the first wholly foreign-owned enterprise certificate in the country. When Mr. Wei heard that the country was open, he immediately contacted the embassy and wanted to return to China to invest."
"admire."
"Whether they are the first or the eleventh, they are both the first batch. What's the order? One of China's great wealth is its huge overseas Chinese community. Even after several generations, we still remember where our ancestors came from. When we see the country's doors open, it is our unshirkable responsibility to come back and contribute to this country."
Yue Ning nodded: "Yes!"
They were talking when Yue Ning heard a familiar dog barking. She turned around and saw the big black dog running towards her. Yue Ning ran over and squatted down. The big black dog pounced on her and licked her face with its tongue.
Yue Ning let it lick her, her eyes moist. She couldn't bear to leave Dahei when she left Xiaoyanggou. They had a revolutionary friendship of fighting wolves together, but the journey was so long that she couldn't bring Dahei with her. She could only ask Secretary Fugen and the others to take good care of this guy. She didn't expect that she would see him again one day.
Dahei had licked enough, so Yue Ning rubbed his dog head and said, "Are you being naughty? You've lost weight."
"It was so naughty. It almost lost its life." Xiuxiu squatted down and pulled the dog's ears. Dahei didn't dare to move because Xiuxiu pulled his ears. He just wooshed to Yue Ning for help.
"What's wrong?"
"After you left, Dahei was unhappy and didn't want to look after the sheep. Some people said they wanted to kill it for meat, but my parents were afraid that you would be sad, so they asked for it and raised it."
Who knew it wouldn't behave itself and would even slack off, almost...
"Dahei, how could you be so naughty?" Yue Ning touched the dog's head with heartache.
Dahei was so happy at this moment that his tail was wagging like a Hot Wheels.
"Mr. Qiao, please, please let me bring Dahei to you."
The person who said this was Li Guoqiang, who sold fans to Qiao Junxian. Yue Ning looked up and said, "Comrade Li, thank you."
"It's okay. They are all from the railway system. It's just a matter of a few foreign cigarettes, right?" Li Guoqiang said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao said that this dog means a lot to you."
"Hmm..." When Yue Ning heard this, her eyes became wet again. She pulled open Dahei's back and saw that the dog's hair was obviously sparse, and there was a long scar inside.
Qiao Junxian also squatted down and wanted to touch the dog's head. Dahei was not familiar with him, so he immediately bared his teeth and looked ferocious. The look in his eyes scared Qiao Junxian so much that his hair stood on end.
Yue Ning frowned and hugged Dahei: "Don't scream."
She said to Qiao Junxian: "Come and touch it."
Qiao Junxian reached out his hand timidly and put it on the dog's head. Dahei was about to "woof" in anger, but when he looked at Yue Ning's face, he immediately obeyed.
Seeing that it was obedient, Qiao Junxian touched it again, and Dahei didn't make a sound.
Yue Ning asked Qiao Junxian: "Can I take it back to Hong Kong?"
"Yes, I have asked in Hong Kong. Here in the mainland, you only need to prepare vaccination records and health certificates." Qiao Junxian said.
Yue Ning looked at Uncle Agen: "Uncle, you are a veterinarian, does Dahei have a vaccination record?"
"Yes, it's in a big ledger. I didn't bring it with me!" said Agen.
In this case, do we need to go through the procedures again for Dahei in Pengcheng?
“Pets, like agricultural and sideline products, are regulated by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Department,” Qiao Junxian reminded her.
Yue Ning nodded happily: "Yes, I will ask the comrades from the import and export company to help me."
Qiao Junxian touched Yue Ning's head with the same hand that he had used to touch the dog's head: "Don't worry about this for now. Uncle Agen and the others are here!"
Yue Ning stood up and looked at Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu also looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister Ningning, how come you have become so beautiful?"
Yue Ning pinched Xiuxiu's little face and said, "You will become so beautiful too."
Xiuxiu couldn't believe it: "Really?"
"Really." Yue Ning looked at Xiuxiu, who had two big black braids, a rosy little round face, and facial features like Aunt Chunmei, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She was very pretty.
Yue Ning looked at Uncle Agen again. Oh! People with wives are different. He wore a white Dacron shirt and grey pants, had a short flat head, and a dark complexion, but he looked clean and tidy.
Sister Ge next to him had short hair, a floral dacron shirt, and pants made of the same fabric as Uncle Agen. She looked like a cultured person.
"Uncle Agen, you're different! Everything about you is different." Yue Ning joked with Uncle Agen.
Hearing this, the dark face broke into a smile, revealing his big white teeth, and the flavor of a simple and honest man from the northwest came out.
Yue Ning looked at A Biao, staring at his messy hair, and said disdainfully: "Can't you tidy up?"
Xiuxiu hugged Yue Ning's arm and looked at A Biao with disdain: "No matter what I say to him, he won't listen."
"Don't worry about him. It will be fine when he has a wife in the future," said Uncle Agen.
Yue Ning glanced at Uncle Agen: "I know you have a wife."
Qiao Junxian and Li Guoqiang came over, and Yue Ning nodded: "Comrade Li, hello."
"Ms. Yue, I haven't seen you for a few months. You look completely different." Li Guoqiang looked at her and said, "You look better than all the celebrities in Hong Kong, don't you?"
"She is a star in Hong Kong," Qiao Junxian said. "If she doesn't appear on TV one day, people in Hong Kong will find it strange."
"Really?" Li Guoqiang asked in surprise, "Advertisements are now allowed in the mainland. When I was watching TV last night, I saw that your Hong Kong TV commercials all use beautiful women to promote products. From now on, when we hire someone to shoot commercials for our fans, we will hire Miss Yue."
"Comrade Li, your ability to accept things is too strong. You can't take big steps, as policies may fluctuate. Besides, it is common for celebrities to shoot commercials in Hong Kong. But the mainland has a decadent capitalist lifestyle. Reform and opening up cannot be achieved in one step." Yue Ning told him that Li Guoqiang was one of a group of people who were bold and got rich first.
The business cases from his previous life also told Yue Ning that many of the first people to become rich ended up in jail. So he had to be careful under the current circumstances.
Seeing the driver helping them take their belongings off the car, Qiao Junxian said, "Stop standing there and talking. Bring the things over and divide them up first."
Yue Ning ordered A Biao and A Gen to go get the things together.
"Dahei, let's go in." Yue Ning bent down and touched the dog's head. She complained to Qiao Junxian, "You didn't tell me that Dahei was coming, and I didn't buy him any good food."
Li Guoqiang smiled: "Mr. Qiao wanted to give you a surprise, but he didn't expect to end up with a strange complaint."
"Okay! I was wrong. I'm happiest to see Dahei." Yue Ning went over and hooked Qiao Junxian's arm.
In this day and age, even couples in mainland China would not be so intimate in public.
Agen and the others looked at the two of them, and Qiao Junxian said with a smile: "Ningning is my girlfriend."
A few people were a little surprised, and some looked as if they expected it.
Yue Ning looked at him: "You already know the target?"
"I come to the mainland often, but I don't know this?" Qiao Junxian said to Yue Ning, "Currently, this entire row of school buildings is our warehouse."
He had already arranged a supervisor and a warehouse keeper here, and when they saw him, they both came over to greet him: "Mr. Qiao, Miss Yue."
Yue Ning greeted them and followed Xiuxiu into Xiuxiu and Sister Ge's room. They were a brother and sister and a couple. After they arrived, Sister Ge and Xiuxiu lived together, while A Biao and A Gen lived in one room.
This is the only arrangement for now, and we need to adjust it later. Uncle Agen and Sister Ge can't live separately as a couple, right?
Yue Ning opened a large bag and found a plastic bag with a label inside. He took it out and handed it to A Biao: "New clothes for you. But considering the way you look, I don't think I'll buy you any more clothes in the future. You won't be able to wear them properly even if I buy you some."
Ah Biao chuckled: "Ningning, don't buy us clothes in the future. We have hands and feet, you can arrange jobs for us, we work and earn money. Otherwise, my parents will not be at peace at home."
Yue Ning stuffed the clothes into his hands and said, "We'll do it later. Now go and try it on for me."
"Yes! Ningning, you have money, and you have given us enough." Sister Ge said, "We can't repay this great favor, and you still buy so many things for us?"
Yue Ning stuffed the couple's things to Sister Ge: "Sister Ge, you have good craftsmanship. I bought a few clothes and some fabrics. Gangcheng doesn't need cloth coupons and it's cheap. I won't buy anything after Junxian pays you."
"That's right. A long-lasting relationship requires give and take. If we keep taking, the relationship won't last long..." Agen also echoed his wife's words.
Yue Ning rolled his eyes at him: "It's fine if other people say that. But you say that to me? Without your care and the sheep fat you gave me, how could I have grown so tall? Go and wear new clothes with A Biao."
Yue Ning pulled Xiuxiu, and the two sisters didn't need to be so polite. They grew up together. Yue Ning happily showed Xiuxiu the clothes one by one.
When Xiuxiu saw the suspender skirt, she covered her face with her hands and said, "How can I wear this outside?"
"You'll be able to wear it out soon." Yue Ning took off her outer shirt, revealing a small vest underneath. She turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"
Xiuxiu looked at Yue Ning through her fingers and saw that Yue Ning's partner didn't seem to mind at all and just looked at her. She put down her hands and looked at Yue Ning carefully. It seemed that she was a bit good-looking.
Yue Ning pushed Qiao Junxian out and said, "You go and talk business with Comrade Li. I'll try on clothes with my sisters."
After Qiao Junxian went out, Yue Ning closed the door, drew the curtains, and urged Xiuxiu and Sister Ge to try on clothes.
