Zhang Yanyan thought she could hold it in, but when the man's mouth came close, she couldn't help but push it away. Thinking about what she would be told if she went home, and thinking of Zhu Youjie, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind. As soon as this idea came out, it grew wildly like spring weeds. She stood there for a few seconds, not going home, and then resolutely went to the bus and caught the bus to Zhujia Village.
When Zhu Youjie saw Zhang Yanyan, his eyes almost fell to the ground. After asking the reason, he froze in his tracks. After turning around in a circle, he said with difficulty: "Yanyan, your parents won't agree to us being together? You know, a marriage without parental blessing will not be happy."
Zhang Yanyan shook her head and said, "I don't care. I don't want to go on blind dates arranged by my family anymore. I only like you, and I want to be with you. No matter what happens in the future, I won't regret it. You don't want me, is it because you have someone else in your heart? Just tell me, and I'll leave immediately."
"I don't. Yanyan, I only like you, and I'm afraid you will regret it later. Your parents don't agree, and you will definitely be criticized if you live in my house like this." Zhu Youjie said rationally.
"I don't care. You'll be nice to me, right?" Zhang Yanyan said with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Youjie felt that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be a man. After all, he had already pushed Zhang Yanyan away once. If he hadn't been sure he could bring happiness to Zhang Yanyan before, but now that his family's situation has improved significantly and he has successfully graduated and got a job, he should be able to make Zhang Yanyan happy. So, he went forward and hugged Zhang Yanyan and said, "Yes, I will definitely treat you well."
Zhang Yanyan nodded and said shyly, "I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay in your room."
"This, this won't do. My mother will beat me. You just live in Youxian's house and wait until we get married. I've waited for so long, how can I not wait for a few days?" Zhu Youjie said happily.
After hearing this, Zhang Yanyan felt more and more that she was right. Zhu Youjie was really good to her.
Huang Mei was shocked when she saw Zhang Yanyan at home. She thought to herself, didn't the two of them break up? Why are they together again? Could they have a child? So she just had a brief meeting with Zhang Yanyan and pulled Zhu Youjie aside. After listening to Zhu Youjie's explanation, she felt relieved but also worried. It would definitely not work if the child's parents didn't agree. After thinking it over, she asked Zhu Youjie if he had thought it through. If he still wanted to marry Zhang Yanyan, she, as his mother, would go. She used to be an old farmer, but now she is a factory director. She is not afraid to stand in front of Zhang Yanyan's mother. Let's talk about it again.
Zhu Youjie naturally thought that childhood sweethearts were like cinnabar moles, not to mention that they broke up because of poverty. Huang Mei reassured him, saying that it would be unacceptable for Zhang Yanyan to live at home without a name or status. She would take them to the in-laws' house to propose marriage tomorrow.
Although Zhang Yanyan's parents had a slight liking for Zhu Youjie after learning his family had opened a factory, they were still hesitant after learning he only owned a 10% stake and was a data clerk. It wasn't until Zhang Yanyan pulled the trigger, declaring she was already Zhu Youjie's wife, that the couple finally relented, insisting only that he buy a house in the county.
Zhu Youjie didn't care and happily returned home with Huang Mei. He had just started working and didn't have much money. So the old couple paid for most of the money, and he borrowed some from his brothers. In the end, they bought a small courtyard in the county town.
After the house was settled, the Zhang family's old couple no longer objected. They were already grown up, so they got married quickly. Song Hehua and Miao Miaomiao couldn't help but say a few sour words when they found out, but Zhu Youjie pretended not to hear them. He was now very proud of himself.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed and it was 1986.
During these two years, the headwear factory was on track, Zhu Youjie had a daughter, and the First Machinery Factory successfully developed a new engine with continuously variable transmission technology suitable for automobiles. At the same year's Canton Fair, they again won several large orders and became a major sensation. Meanwhile, Zhu Youliang and his wife applied to the First Machinery Factory in the county, hoping to develop and manufacture automobiles and establish a separate factory, with their technology as a shareholder.
The County No. 1 Machinery Factory, now a wealthy and powerful enterprise, finally approved the two's application after months of research. Not only did they agree to let Ji Minhuai and Li Mingde help out, they also allocated a large sum of money and assigned experienced personnel from various production lines to help set up a brand new production line. Thus, the County No. 1 FAW was completed and the team was basically in place. Despite this, after the city learned of the news, they transferred a number of people from the Municipal Machinery Factory, including several recent college graduates, hoping that they could truly get the automobile factory off the ground.
Let's not talk about the challenges Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan faced after the establishment of the county's FAW, let's talk about Zhu Xingtong. She took the college entrance examination that year and was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University with the highest score in science. Although her grades had always been good and everyone knew she would get into university, the fact that she was the highest scorer in science was enough to shock the entire Zhujia Village. As a result, Zhujia Village was bustling with activity for a while. Even the TV station went there. In this era, it was unbelievable that a rural family had three college students, all of whom were admitted to key universities. The youngest was not only the highest scorer, but also only fifteen years old. Such an eye-catching event naturally needed to be reported. The happiest person for this was Old Zhu, who now worked as a security guard at the headwear factory. His favorite thing to say every day was how smart his granddaughter was.
Soon, Zhu Xingtong boarded the train to university, accompanied by Xue Yang. Ever since his crush failed and Xue Yang's encouragement from his idol, the boy had been studying incredibly hard. While his grades weren't as good as Zhu Xingtong's, he still managed to get into Northwestern Polytechnical University. After all, his father had said, "If you can become as talented as Zhu Gong, your ancestors' graves will be filled with joy."
On the train, Xue Yang complained to Zhu Xingtong: "My parents heard that you were going to college alone, so they didn't send me off. Don't you think they are too careless? Aren't they afraid that we would get lost?" Zhu Xingtong didn't reply, but he didn't stop either. He continued to mutter endlessly, out of pure excitement.
Suddenly, the girl with braids sitting across from them closed the book in her hand and said, "She didn't even reply to you, why are you still talking so enthusiastically?"
Xue Yang suppressed his smile and replied, "I'm happy to."
"Do you... understand what's right and wrong? I'm clearly standing up for you." The girl with braids said with a red face.
"I don't need it. I don't know you." Xue Yang said with a headache.
"Hmph...you don't know what's good for you." The girl said and turned her face to the window.
After all, the other person was a girl, so Xue Yang didn't say anything else, pretending he didn't hear anything. Zhu Xingtong wished Xue Yang would just shut up, so he naturally didn't take it seriously. However, the girl would occasionally turn her head to look at them, then look out the window angrily, leaving the two of them very confused.
