The next morning, when Xiang Changlin arrived at the village entrance, he saw Ye Fang already waiting there. When she saw him coming, the little girl waved at him happily.
"Brother Changlin!"
Xiang Changlin walked up to him and smiled, "When did you come?"
Ye Fang laughed and stuck out her tongue mischievously, "I've been here for a while, I was afraid you'd arrive early so I left first."
Xiang Changlin laughed, "I said I'd take you there, so I definitely won't abandon you. Let's go."
"good."
The two of them took a bus into the city. Ye Fang found everything new to her. Her eyes kept moving around and she could hardly see enough.
"We're at the supply and marketing cooperative. Is anyone getting off?"
"Fangfang, it's time for us to get off the bus."
Xiang Changlin called out Ye Fang, and Ye Fang quickly looked away and followed.
After getting out of the car, Ye Fang realized, "Brother Changlin, where is the guesthouse where my sister works?"
"The guesthouse is still some distance away. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things first, and then I'll take you there later."
"What are you buying?"
Xiang Changlin curled his lips, a hint of sweetness flashed across his eyes, "Buy clothes for your sister."
"Buying clothes?"
"Let's go."
The two of them entered the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the counter selling ready-made clothes. The red dress that he had fallen in love with when he and Ye Qing came here a few days ago was no longer available, but there were other styles that were similar.
"Fangfang, do you think your sister can wear this?"
Xiang Changlin felt the same way, but Ye Fang was a girl, and she was with Ye Qing all day long, so it would always be right to ask for her opinion.
Ye Fang saw the clothes hanging there and liked them immediately. She smiled and said, "It's wearable. My sister and I wear similar clothes. I wear clothes of this size."
Hearing her say this, Xiang Changlin felt relieved. He paid the money and ticket and asked the salesperson to help him pack it up.
Xiang Changlin took the clothes and said to Ye Fang, "Let's go, let's go find your sister now."
"good."
Ye Qing went downstairs with a thermos to get some water and happened to meet two people entering the yard.
"Why is Fangfang here too?"
She walked over with a smile on her face.
"Sister!" Ye Fang rushed towards her when she saw her little mouth pout, "Sister~"
Ye Qing patted her on the back and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Who wronged you?"
"Humph, it's all because of our mom. She forces me to go on blind dates every day. It's so annoying. When you're not at home, no one is on my side, and our dad doesn't have much influence either."
"That's really unfair to you."
Ye Qing followed her words and rubbed her little face with a smile.
"Are you two here to eat so early?"
Xiang Changlin nodded and said, "I ate it."
Ye Fang followed up and said, "I ate it too."
"Okay, then you guys sit on that chair and wait for me. I'll get these two pots of water first."
"Sister, let me help you."
"No, you're not a staff member, so you can't just go up there. Wait for me here, it will only take a few minutes."
"All right."
After Ye Qing fetched the water, he brought the kettle upstairs and then went downstairs to find them.
Xiang Changlin said, "The date has been set. It will be in ten days, August 20th. Please take leave in advance and I will come to pick you up."
"good."
I was a little excited when I thought that they would be getting married in a few days. Although they had obtained the marriage certificate, many relatives and friends didn't know about it yet. Besides, rural people don't recognize marriages. They only consider marriages as marriages after holding a wedding banquet.
"Sister, Brother Changlin bought you a red coat!"
Ye Fang said excitedly. Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Xiang Changlin. "You bought it after all?"
Xiang Changlin handed the clothes to her and smiled softly, "It's only a few days away, just buy it, and you don't have to find time to make it yourself. You're tired enough after working all day."
Ye Qing held the clothes and smiled happily. This man always made her heart beat easily.
"Okay, I'll wear this on the wedding day."
Xiang Changlin nodded gently and looked at her gently, "Well, it will definitely look good on you. This color suits you."
Ye Fang stood aside, looking at this and that, always feeling that she was a little redundant.
"Is there any movement over there?"
Ye Qing shook his head, "Not yet, I haven't seen him come here in the past few days."
"Maybe there are no missions here recently, so there's no rush. By the way, my aunt asked me to bring you some pickles."
As Xiang Changlin spoke, he handed her the pickles he brought, and Ye Qing took it with a smile.
"Sister, your workplace is so grand!"
Ye Fang looked at the two-story building and felt extremely envious. She wished she could work in such a good place someday.
"This is the County Party Committee's guesthouse, isn't it grand? When are you going back? How about I take you to the cafeteria for lunch after work at noon?"
"No, we..."
"Brother Changlin! Sister Qingqing!"
As Xiang Changlin was speaking, Zhou Ming's hearty shout came from behind him. The two looked at each other and were delighted.
Xiang Changlin turned and walked towards him, "Zhou Ming! Red Star."
Zhou Ming walked up to him and grinned, "Brother Changlin, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you are here."
"Yeah, I just got here a while ago, and I didn't expect that we would run into each other. I just asked Qingqing if you had been here in the past few days."
Zhou Ming smiled and explained, "I went to another province last time and just came back yesterday morning. I'll book a room and we can go inside and talk."
"OK."
Zhou Ming and Sun Hongxing took out their letters of introduction and asked Xiao Mei to book a room, then took Xiang Changlin and the others upstairs.
Zhou Ming looked at Ye Fang who followed him in and asked, "Who is this female comrade?"
Ye Qing smiled and introduced him, "This is my sister Ye Fang, she came to see me with Changlin."
"Fangfang, this is Zhou Ming, and this is Sun Hongxing. They are comrades from the city's transportation team. You can just call them big brothers."
"Hello, Brother Zhou, Hello, Brother Sun."
Although Ye Fang is quite outgoing at home, she becomes a little restrained when she meets people outside and is too shy to look at them.
Seeing how shy she was, Zhou Ming and Sun Hongxing were too embarrassed to tease her and just nodded and greeted her.
"Brother Zhou, how many days will you stay this time?"
"We'll go back after lunch tomorrow."
"Is that so? Do you have time at noon today? Let's have lunch together."
Zhou Ming responded, "Okay, I came here to bring you good news, it's really worth having a meal to celebrate."
After hearing this, Ye Qing and Xiang Changlin had nothing to understand. The job was done!
"Zhou Ming, thank you!"
Zhou Ming waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't be polite with me given our relationship, and I haven't even told you what the job is, what if you don't like it."
Xiang Changlin smiled and said, "I am already very grateful that you are helping me. Isn't any job better than farming at home? How can I be picky?"
"Hahaha, I think you will like this job in all likelihood."
"Then tell me."
