As soon as Li Xingyao came over, he heard a "bolt from the blue".
"Dad has agreed inside, and I also promised Dad that we will come back and prepare a feast during the New Year." So, don't put it off.
Otherwise he would be worried and confused again.
Qiu Yuling was originally teasing her mother, so she didn't say anything at this moment. She smiled and waited for Comrade Li Qingmei to express her opinion, as if she would decide whatever her mother said.
Li Xingyao begged his mother-in-law with resentful eyes. He had already thought it through. He would advance half a year's salary and could even increase the betrothal gift.
But before he could express his opinion, Li Qingmei relented, "Just make the decision. Your father and I don't know what's going on outside, so it's not good for us to make random suggestions and affect your work."
Li Xingyao's heart instantly dropped back into his chest. The people at the dinner table behind him were jumping up and down with great excitement.
The review for both of them was easy to pass, as they had already gone through the political review, and they were from the same place, so their correspondence history was very clear, and it did not delay their planned marriage registration at all.
After Li Xingyao finished looking at his own, he wanted to look at Qiu Yuling's.
She didn't see any difference between the two pieces of paper, but since the other person wanted to see it, she handed it over.
Li Xingyao flipped it over and over, then stuffed it into his bag when he was done. "I'm free lately, so I'll find a chance to frame it to prevent it from getting damaged."
Qiu Yuling imagined the marriage certificate being displayed in the Duobao Pavilion and thought it was not necessary. "We don't look at this every day, so just keep it and there's no need to frame it."
"I'll do as you say. I'll leave it all to you. I'll also give you my banknotes and banknotes for safekeeping when I get back.
From now on, you have the final say in our family."
Qiu Yuling interrupted him, "What we say is final. Don't ask about small matters, but we can discuss big matters together. You don't have to give me all the money. Keep some for yourself so you don't have to be short of money and can get things done easily."
Li Xingyao's heart tightened, thinking that Qiu Yuling might not love him.
Qiu Yuling simply wanted to hear what was said, "Why don't you tell me how you came to that conclusion?"
"Don't you have me in your heart?" She wanted to laugh when the 1.80-meter-tall guy said this.
"My mother and my eldest sister-in-law took away my husband's salary and coupons as soon as they came home. I took the initiative to pay them, but you were still unwilling to take care of it..." The tone of his voice became softer and softer.
Qiu Yuling took a deep breath and said, "Okay, just hand it all over. I'll give you pocket money every month. By the way, if you have any extra income, you have to hand it over too. And all the family documents and certificates will be kept by me..." Is that okay?
Then she saw her newly-arrived man, baring his teeth and looking very happy.
Li Xingyao handed Qiu Yuling the keys to his house again. "From now on, we're a family. This is for our little courtyard, and this is for my parents. Keep them all safe."
As a courtesy, Qiu Yuling also gave Li Xingyao the keys to the houses in Willow Alley and the Cadre Building one by one. "...I have to go on a business trip. If you don't go out for a while, please come over from time to time to water the flowers and plants in the yard, and help Grandma with some things..."
That's fine. Even when we were still a family, grandma didn't differentiate between yours and mine.
As it was hot, Qiu Yuling felt that the bungalow was more cost-effective, so she followed Li Xingyao back to the courtyard...
When the two of them went upstairs to get something, Qiu Yuling introduced Li Xingyao to everyone generously, "This is my lover..."
Everyone knew that the two had just become a Taoist couple and congratulated them. They accepted all the blessings. After just two days of celebration, Qiu Yuling took her team to Cangzhou.
After getting married, she changed her pigtails and tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head.
The comrades who received her were familiar with her and did not look down on her youth.
Among the comrades who received her was one named Zhao Xiaotang, and Qiu Yuling always felt that the name sounded familiar.
It was not until the other party said that he was also from Min County that she finally remembered why he sounded familiar. This person was a senior who was one year older than her in junior high school. They had participated in a mathematics competition together at that time.
I just didn't expect that after so many years of separation, he would have such a different fate.
Zhao Xiaotang smiled and asked Qiu Yuling, "You finally remembered? You're truly a forgetful person. But it's understandable. After all, apart from you, everyone else is still unknown."
It's not that Qiu Yuling has a short memory, it's just that the two of them had limited interactions. Apart from that time when they went out to take an exam together, she made other choices later and they had no more interactions.
But he couldn't respond like that. "Are you trying to embarrass me? You're a mechanical engineer from the Cangzhou Fertilizer Plant, and I'm just a student from a small place. This unknown person is probably saying it the other way around."
"No, your name is so famous that I know it's you even before I even meet you..."
The old man coughed loudly twice and glared at the young man opposite him implicitly. He had been chatting with his grandson's wife for too long.
Qiu Yuling stopped the official jargon and introduced the two parties. After that, she emphasized to Zhao Xiaotang, "...I'll have to trouble you this time. I see that many of the students who come here to study are from big cities.
Coming from a small place like ours, if it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to get past the machine…”
It is no joke that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. Even if it is not because Qiu Yuling is an old classmate, but because this is a team from his hometown, Zhao Xiaotang has done his best.
He was not the chief engineer, but he was someone who had some say in the technical department. He took them to familiarize themselves with the work, visit the workshop, and even disassembled the structure of some parts, and everything went very smoothly.
This is enough for Qiu Yuling and others.
She kept taking pictures and recording during the day, and then stayed up late at night when everyone had rested to convert what she saw into drawings, accurate to the millimeter, and made detailed notes on all important data such as gear spacing, caliber, diameter, etc.
Other teams didn't know how they were learning, but Qiu Yuling's team had to meet every now and then, with several old professors and young experts gathering together to make revisions and additions to her drawings.
If there are any ambiguous areas, focus on observing them the next day.
Go back and meet again to improve it.
After about a month, the three teams that came to visit and study all went back home. It was still unclear what the learning results of other teams were, but the team led by Qiu Yuling did not show it on the surface, but they were confident inside.
The group did not return to Wu City, but went straight to Bincheng. The two sides had already become mature partners, and there were few obstacles in communication.
In the past, they had to cross the river by feeling the stones, but now it is different. Not only have they seen the finished product themselves, but they also have precise drawings. Even if the task cannot be completed in one go, it is relatively not that difficult.
It's just a matter of wasting some time.
Qiu Yuling specifically called the Municipal Party Committee back, saying that if the city still couldn't muster the courage to make a decision, their Zaohua Factory would have to invest in the fertilizer plant.
