"Then bring your cousin-in-law with you when you come. I'll show him the workshop."
"Hey!" Li Yingfen responded loudly, "Mom, help me catch some chicks. I'll hire you to feed them. Oh, and there's also a share for my cousin."
Zhou Hongfang's face was flushed, but she didn't forget to choke back her daughter, "Why do you have to worry about Yuling? This is my own business."
The meal was extremely enjoyable, and several of them even stayed overnight at Qiu Yuling's house.
Before going to bed, Li Qingfeng and his wife took a shower in their niece's bathroom. They slept in the west wing with their nephew and the east wing with their daughter.
Lying in someone else's spotless house, I didn't even dare to turn over.
Before going to bed, the two of them chatted a lot, and each of them arranged for the little one beside them. It was nothing more than the old saying that a good blacksmith must have strong tools.
This time no one objected, but took the elders' earnest teachings to heart, and everyone was determined not to bring shame to their cousin.
I can't let anyone regret having helped me.
The days passed slowly, and Li Xingyao and his team finally returned to the Geological Bureau before New Year's Day.
As soon as he finished his work report, he couldn't wait to go see his grandfather.
Coincidentally, Qiu Yuling was there this time too.
Seeing the girl in his heart, Li Xingyao's eyes seemed to be dripping with tears. In front of his grandfather, he openly called out "Yuling."
Qiu Yuling was stunned for a moment and responded vaguely, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the old man diving into the pile of gifts like a little child, having a lot of fun.
Not giving Qiu Yuling a chance to escape, Li Xingyao smiled and pointed at the bag, "There's something for you in there, too."
As he spoke, he took out a stamp album and said, "I heard from Grandpa that you used to like collecting these, so I paid attention to it. Basically, all the stamps that came out after the liberation are in here."
Qiu Yuling took it and flipped through it. There were some new and some old, but it was really complete. Still a little surprised, "You gave them all to me?"
When she looked up and met his eyes, she paused and looked away, "This is too expensive."
“Things are not valuable. They are only treasured when they are in the hands of people who understand them. It is a blessing for them to have a good owner.”
The old man was almost living in Bengbu. His second grandson was too aggressive this time, but it was also a sign of progress, so he quickly pricked up his ears.
Qiu Yuling squatted in front of the old man with the stamp album. The old man shifted his eyes uncomfortably and said, "Why are you looking at me? It's not me who gave it to you. It's a waste if you don't want it."
The implication was that he couldn't wait for her to accept it.
Not to mention the future value of this set of stamps, even at the moment, it is worth real money. She looked at it and found that some had a face value of one or two cents, while others had a face value of fifty-two cents. It was really a lot for such a thick book.
Seeing that Qiu Yuling had no intention of accepting the book after reading it, Li Xingyao smiled and added, "Except for a few new ones with limited circulation, most of them are old ones that have been accumulated. If you don't like them, I can get you a brand new one later."
Qiu Yuling said: That’s not what I meant.
"Take it and play with it. There are some interesting patterns on it. Don't you little girls love this?"
"Oh? All the little girls love it~" Qiu Yuling stretched out the last syllable.
The old man was anxious, "His cousin, that crazy little girl you've seen, is also doing this. The little girl he's talking about is you two."
Before Qiu Yuling could respond, Li Xingyao lowered his head and smiled faintly. His grandfather was even more anxious than he was. He then looked up and winked at Qiu Yuling, "That's what Grandpa said."
No matter how serious she was on weekdays, Qiu Yuling felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
She stood up and was about to say goodbye. "Well, Uncle, the factory isn't busy these past few days, and you've been working non-stop for so long, so I'll give you a break so you can spend some quality time with your family."
The old man didn't refuse, but instead extended an invitation, "You can take a break these two days, so come home for a meal. Your aunt can cook."
"I'm planning to visit my third brother's house. My third sister-in-law has already written to me several times asking me to come. It just so happens that I have time now..."
After all, Qiu Yuling didn't take the stamp album with her when she left, and Li Xingyao didn't insist on tearing it up. The old man was very disappointed with him, and when he came back after sending the person away, he complained that he couldn't even give a gift.
Li Xingyao just listened to him chattering with a smile and did not refute him.
The next day, Qiu Yuling received a small package, which was actually sent from Min County.
She went into the house and opened it, revealing a beige cashmere scarf and the stamp album she had just looked at yesterday.
No wonder the person who gave the gift was not so persistent yesterday. After she pushed it away, he gave up. It turned out that he was waiting here.
It is easier than giving it in person. After all, since the person is not around, you will not refuse it harshly.
Qiu Yuling placed them on the small wooden coffee table. The texture of the cashmere scarf was very good, and the stamp album was also unique and very attractive.
As she was flipping through the pages, a letter accidentally fell out. Intuitively, she felt that she might have received a love letter.
I want to see what kind of nonsense people can come up with at this time.
After opening it, a postcard fell out. It was a postcard from Chang'an Railway Station, with the words "
Comrade Yuling:
The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the prospects are bright, and the future is promising!
Lee Sing Yew!
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, just like him. This was the first time Qiu Yuling saw Li Xingyao's handwriting, and his beautiful calligraphy was evident on the paper.
She put the postcard aside and opened the letter. It was not as disgusting as she had imagined. It was like a letter from home, describing what he saw and heard during his trip to Guanzhong, the local customs and people, and also some work experience.
Qiu Yuling unknowingly read through several pages of eloquent writing.
When I saw the part about the geology of coal mines in northern Shaanxi, I couldn't help but take out a pen and draw something, but then I laughed at the end. This guy is really...
When it comes to choosing a spouse, Qiu Yuling actually knew it in both of her lives. As a woman, what she should do is to have no men in her heart, not to have no men around her.
Since he is suitable in all aspects, I also plan to respond so that the carrot can hold the donkey.
Spreading out the letter, she also started with the human nature and scenery. In the letters exchanged between them, neither of them talked about love, but there was warmth everywhere.
In Wu City, it was a rare occasion for the youngest son to come back, so not only did his father-in-law take a rest, but Sun Tianxia and her husband also adjusted their schedules. They also called back the eldest son's family for a reunion dinner.
During the meal, Li Xinghui unconsciously asked his brother about his future plans. "With your current qualifications and abilities, you're more than capable of moving up the career ladder. What are your thoughts?"
Li Xingyao put his niece down on the ground and said, "I still want to stay in a technical position and don't want to switch to an administrative position."
"But it's time for you to get married. You keep running around like this. When will you ever get married? Mom and Dad are getting mad at you..."
Li Xingyao interrupted his elder brother. "The company submitted a list of senior engineers for evaluation, and I'm on it. It's almost certain."
