Jiang Mengxue thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. In the next twenty years or so, you will find that China will develop rapidly. You will definitely see it. I have a lot of books in my space, and there is also a lot of information in my phone. If you have time, you can look for it. There are too many books and I haven't sorted them out yet."
Jiang Mengxue carefully taught Gu Qingbei how to use a mobile phone and computer, and asked him to find videos to watch when he was free at home.
The two of them didn't continue the discussion. Since they had to go to work early the next morning, Jiang Mengxue went to bed early.
In the next few days, Jiang Mengxue went to get off work and came home as usual, while Gu Qingbei immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
Except for cooking three meals a day, Jiang Mengxue stays in the space all the time and rides her bike to and from get off work.
It was not until Jiang Mengxue's house was almost completed that the pace of their lives slowed down.
Jiang Mengxue's work has been on track recently, and Gu Qingbei has a general understanding of the content he wants to see.
The decoration of the house had reached the final stage that day, and it would be completed once the outside corridor was sealed off.
The two decided to go home to see their parents. The public grain tax had already been paid. Some people went to pay the public grain tax, and the rest continued to be busy harvesting crops from the fields.
Why is the autumn harvest so busy? Crops in the north have to mature in these two months and be stored in warehouses before the snow falls. We also have to prepare food and firewood for the winter, so we have to hurry.
Fortunately, this year we plan to distribute food to individuals, so the canteen has been disbanded.
On the second day of rest, Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei planned to go see Jiang Mengran in the evening. She had been working for several days and didn't know how she was doing.
When the two arrived, Jiang Mengran had just returned from the cafeteria after eating. The lights in the room were still on. She was so happy to see her sister.
I haven't met anyone in this strange place these days. Although my brother-in-law's comrades are taking care of me, I don't have the sense of security that comes from seeing my relatives.
"We'll go home tomorrow to discuss the time for the wedding banquet. I'll let you know when it's finalized. Then see if you have time to take a day off. If not, I'll set up two tables in the city by then, so you can come back then.
"Sister, I will definitely go back when you get married. I will ask for leave from my boss in advance."
"Okay, we won't stay any longer. We have to go back and pack our things. You should get some rest early."
The next morning, they were afraid that they would not have enough time to go back and forth that day, so they rode their bikes back at four or five in the morning. If they did not stop, they would arrive in two or three hours if the road conditions were good.
The Jiang family had received the letter a day in advance. The men went to work as usual, while Jiang's mother stayed at home with her daughters-in-law to clean and prepare.
Mrs. Jiang went to the commune early in the morning to queue up to buy meat. It was the first time that the new son-in-law came to visit, so the food couldn't be too shabby. Besides, the younger sister-in-law had left a lot of tickets when she came back last time, so the sisters-in-law were happy to spend some money to make the family eat better.
Jiang Yuwu, the youngest son of Jiang Dasao, was helping to sweep the yard with a small broom. He asked curiously, "Grandma, is Second Aunt going to get married now that Second Uncle-in-law is back? Will she come back in the future? Mom rarely goes back to Grandma's house, and the eldest aunt rarely comes back either. Will Second Aunt and Young Aunt come back less often after they get married?"
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "How can a married girl come back to her parents' home often? She's already too busy with housework every day. What's more, your aunts all have jobs, which makes them even busier. If you little ones grow up and can work in the city, how can you remember to come back?"
"How is that possible? I will be living in the city in the future. I will come back and bring my grandparents and parents to the city to live a good life."
The eldest brother Jiang Yukun came over and slapped him on the head: "You wishful thinking, it's not that easy to find a job in the city. If everyone can go to the city, who would want to stay at home and farm?"
The little guy was not convinced: "Why can't I do that? My aunts all have jobs, why can't I do that?"
"That's because Auntie is a good student. She should at least get into junior high school. But you and your second brother just fish and shrimp all day long. It's hard to say whether you can even finish elementary school."
Xiao Yuwu was speechless, and Jiang Yuwen, who wanted to say a few words to help his brother, was also unable to refute. He felt dizzy every time he stared at the contents of the book. Now they had to rely on luck to count from zero to one hundred.
Jiang's mother didn't care about the boys' wild ideas. She had to go to the homes of several uncles and ask them to come over for lunch at noon.
"Meifeng, don't forget that he and his second uncle are coming over for dinner today. As their aunt and matchmaker, you can't be left out."
Gu Meifeng laughed heartily, extremely happy: "How could I not come? My nephew told me in advance that I will be here soon. My wife has to come back with the team leader."
Jiang Mengxue was holding Gu Qingbei's clothes from behind. Riding for a few hours was nothing for Gu Qingbei, who had been exercising for many years. Even his breathing did not change throughout the whole process.
After Gu Qingbei sent Jiang Mengxue to Taoyuan Brigade, he turned around and rode his bike back to Feiyue Brigade. He had to go back to reunite with his elders at home. He couldn't go alone to propose marriage, and it would be too inappropriate without the elders showing up.
These were all discussed by Gu Qingbei after he called in advance. Yesterday, even his second uncle and second aunt who worked in the city took leave and came back. Although they are all in the city, they are not very close, and the two of them have not had time to visit their elders recently.
