"Uncle, does the city have any plans to build a small fertilizer plant or something? I think the most urgent thing is to bring our products in first, rather than focusing on exporting them."
"This, building a fertilizer plant is going to be a huge commotion, right? From equipment installation to construction, everything is difficult..."
Qiu Yuling's words did give him a new idea, but the difficulties that followed also surfaced.
Qiu Yuling also serves as an advisor to the Wu City Industrial Development Committee. Although the occasion is not appropriate for her to say this, her motive is correct.
Sun Tianxia tapped her husband Li's arm and said, "Eat the food! It's cold now. We can talk about work later. There's no need to pick a time."
Yuling, eat quickly, you haven't eaten much, is it because the food I made doesn't suit your taste?"
Qiu Yuling quickly said that it was very appetizing. She had already eaten more than the recommended amount today, and if she didn't believe it, she could ask her uncle to be her witness.
The old man spoke for his unmarried granddaughter, "This girl has had a big appetite since she was little. You eat your food, but you've only been focusing on those two little ones. You haven't even eaten anything yet."
He Ze pointed at the fish pieces in Qiu Yuling's bowl and said, "Aunt, do you want any leftovers? You'll be spanked if you don't have any leftovers."
Qiu Yuling asked Li Heze with a smile if he had ever been spanked. The little guy crawled into his mother's arms and didn't say a word.
The eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "I didn't really hit them, I just tried to scare them."
As soon as Qiu Yuling lowered her head, Li Xingyao had already brought over her bowl of leftovers and finished it in no time.
Everyone at the table pretended not to notice, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
Li Hongyuan couldn't help it and invited Qiu Yuling to the study after dinner. The door was open, but no one went in to disturb them.
The two of them talked for a long time about the fertilizer plant.
Before leaving, he followed her to the entrance of the alley.
"Uncle, please go back. I'll find some time to write a rough plan and then have someone send it to you.
There are many things to prepare for building a fertilizer plant. You can take multiple approaches and make arrangements in advance. I think it won't be a big problem.
The Cangzhou Fertilizer Plant has been successfully built. They have a complete set of fertilizer equipment. We will send people there to learn and do some technical analysis.
If we don’t plan to build a fertilizer plant on a large scale like the Cangzhou, Liaohe, and Daqing fertilizer plants, a small-scale operation shouldn’t be a problem…”
After watching his youngest son send Qiu Yuling back, Li Hongyuan withdrew his gaze and walked back at his wife's urging.
"You know what, this Xiao Qiu is quite something." I suddenly thought of something and started talking about the fertilizer factory, but he was still able to explain it clearly.
"She said she was going to write a plan, but I guess she had already written it, but she just didn't have the right time to bring it out.
This child has something very unusual in mind."
"Even you treat me differently, aren't you afraid that Xinghui and his wife will be jealous?" Which old man would come out to send someone off for such a long distance.
"Eh~ These are two different things. I value talent, and what I'm sending is not my daughter-in-law, Li Hongyuan, but the young talent who will drive the economic lifeline of our Wu City.
Fortunately, the waiter was tenacious and managed to coax the girl back home. If it were any other family, she would have been delayed in taking care of her husband and children."
"What are you talking about? Are we one of those second-rate people?"
"Why not? When you were young, you were involved in the revolution, but you stopped working after you had those two brothers. Look, no one in our family has ever given you a hard time. Dad and I are both reasonable people."
You know that one more woman like you who can bear children for society is not much, but one less woman like you in the Four Modernizations construction is a loss..."
"Virtue..."
The two of them are now living a normal life. Although they didn't bring up the topic of marriage at the dinner table, nor did they mention anything like thirty-six legs or seventy-two legs, the attitudes of his parents all showed that they were satisfied.
Li Xingyao walked to the back street of Qiu Yuling's cadre building and stopped. "Yuling, I'm going to take you somewhere."
"Where?"
Li Xingyao didn't say anything, but she would know when she got there.
"What? It's so mysterious."
After a few steps, Li Xingyao brought her to the innermost part of the third alley facing the street.
It was already late at night, and Qiu Yuling was still thinking about what he would show off.
Until the door opened, she even thought she had walked into the wrong place. "Why is it exactly the same as the one in Willow Alley?"
"Do you like it? I renovated this place to look almost identical to the courtyard in Willow Alley. I also had the furniture and furnishings made by a master craftsman from Min County."
There was also a tree in the yard, but she couldn't see what kind of tree it was in the dark. There were flower beds, grape trellises, and a door curtain made of saxaul kernels hanging on the door. Even the tiles on the window base looked vaguely the same in the light of the yard lights.
"I wanted to bring you here during the day, but I didn't want to disturb your rest. My dad said he was in the mood, so we delayed it until now..."
"I like it, I like it very much." Although it has lost its novelty, it is full of heart.
In the dark night, Li Xingyao grinned, "This will be our home from now on. When I'm not around, you can live upstairs. In your spare time, you can live in the yard. There's a small vegetable patch in the back. I've tilled it and built sheds for Wanjin and Meiyin..."
He secretly imagined countless times the scene of the two of them living carefree in this small courtyard, and every frame was full of happiness.
Qiu Yuling sat down on the rocking chair in the yard and asked, "How long have you been going on here?"
Li Xingyao lay on the other one, and this was the only thing he changed. Qiu Yuling only had one, so he asked the master to make two, secretly thinking that good things come in pairs.
"It wasn't long before I took possession of the house after the New Year. I drew the blueprints first and found a familiar craftsman. I also took on some tasks intermittently during the process. It was only when I came back last month that I was able to finish it in one go."
I don’t know what the moon is doing tonight hiding in the clouds, but the sky is full of stars, with a cool breeze and bright stars. Even if we just hold hands and do nothing, it can still be called a beautiful scene.
When Qiu Yuling was about to fall asleep, Li Xingyao woke her up and said, "Yuling, wake up. It's too cold to sleep outside. I'll take you home."
When she opened her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, "Go back? Go back where?" Isn't this her own home?
Then she realized that this person had copied a yard according to her preferences.
"Oh, you're confused. Let's go then."
"Yuling, when will it be convenient for you to marry me?"
"It depends on your schedule. I can make time for it. It's a big deal after all." But she doesn't have time to get involved in the details.
Li Xingyao mustered up his courage that night and happily picked up Qiu Yuling. He spun around several times on the spot until he felt he was about to throw her out, then he stood up straight.
Qiu Yuling held onto the wall, barely managing to hold back from vomiting. "Brother, let's make a deal. From now on, we have to stop after only one turn!"
