But Chen Youliang was repairing farm tools in the warehouse when Wu Dahai rushed in from outside, holding an electric fan. "Youliang, double happiness, double happiness!"
Zhu Youliang raised his head and asked: "Have you found a partner?" "That's not it. Hey, hey, stop it. You were admitted to university, and the county No. 1 Middle School has hung a big red banner. You are ranked eighth in the province. By the way, you are from Daqian Commune, right? There is more than one person in your commune. There is another one who also passed the exam, and is ranked tenth in the province. Her name is Liang Yuan. From the name, it seems that she is a girl. You can go back and ask around. If she is not married, let my aunt introduce me to someone." Wu Dahai said excitedly, as if he had been admitted to university himself.
Jiang Xiaoyu heard it at the door and luckily she didn't kick him out.
Zhu Youliang glanced at him, then glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu at the door, "That's my wife."
"What? Your wife also got into college. This, this, you are so lucky." Wu Dahai almost dropped the electric fan in his hand.
Zhu Youliang had no choice but to put the repaired farm tools in order. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go back and see how this electric fan works."
Wu Dahai belatedly realized whose territory this was. He had rarely been to the warehouse since the last incident, and he had been so happy today that he had forgotten. After hearing Zhu Youliang's words, he uttered a few "ohs" and hurriedly followed him out of the warehouse.
When he got outside the warehouse, he said with a bitter face, "There's grain. You must introduce me to someone, preferably one of your college classmates. I've really offended Jiang Xiaoyu this time."
Zhu Youliang took the fan from his hand and then said, "Doesn't she dislike you?"
Wu Dahai shook his head. "Who knows? Maybe they only realized my goodness after losing me."
Zhu Youliang couldn't help but laugh, "How about you reconsider it?"
"No. I really thought it through last time. She's not someone I can afford." Wu Dahai nodded firmly after saying this.
Zhu Youliang said nothing more and went back to the office. He then lifted the cover on the electric fan, revealing an apple green fan.
"This color is good. I used it before I brought it back. It works very well." Wu Dahai said and gave Zhu Youliang a thumbs up.
Zhu Youliang turned on the power and flipped the switch, and a cool breeze instantly blew in. The fan had three settings, and he tried them all, finding the difference quite noticeable. As the two of them were enjoying the breeze, Chen Dafa suddenly walked in from outside. "Wu Dahai, what's your good news? The whole station heard you with that loud voice."
As he spoke, he noticed the electric fan on the desk and hurried over to it, saying, "This is the electric fan you modified, Youliang. It looks pretty good."
Wu Dahai was anxious when he saw it. This electric fan was a gift from the machinery factory to Zhu Youliang. He also got one, but he kept it at home. He hurried over and changed the subject, "Stationmaster, you may not know this, but Zhu Gong got into university. No. 1 Middle School has even hung a red banner. There's no doubt about it."
Chen Dafa immediately raised his head upon hearing this, "Really? Hey, what school did you choose?"
Before Zhu Youliang could say anything, Wu Dahai rushed in and said, "Not only did he get in to Northwestern Polytechnical University, but his wife got in too. Stationmaster, tell me, isn't this a great event?"
"That's right. When I saw you had some food, I knew you were an educated person. You looked like a scholar." Chen Dafa said happily.
"Webmaster, you have a keen eye for talent!" Wu Dahai echoed.
"Hey, your family doesn't know yet, right? Youliang, I'm giving you half a day off today, so go home quickly. By the way, have you told your family about what I told you earlier?" Chen Dafa suddenly remembered the marriage proposal. Originally, his wife disagreed, so he didn't bring it up again. Zhu Youliang didn't bring it up either, and the matter was over. Now that Zhu Youliang was up, he figured his brother wouldn't be so bad either. It would be even better if we could get him engaged before his brother got into college. This time, he thought his wife would agree.
Chen Dafa hadn't asked before, so he hadn't told him. Who knew he would bring it up again now? He had no choice but to say, "Stationmaster, I'm sorry, Youjie has a girlfriend at school. He didn't tell his family before, so we didn't know either. I forgot to tell you."
A hint of suspicion crossed Chen Dafa's face. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This just means the two children are not meant to be together." He felt that Zhu Youliang's excuses were all just excuses, that he looked down on his family. So he took two steps, turned back and said, "By the way, Youliang, the journey to the northwest is long. You should start school early. Since you haven't been officially hired yet, you can't transfer this job to anyone else. What do you think?"
Zhu Youliang understood, thinking that he wouldn't be working for a few days anyway, so he said immediately, "You're right. Not only do I have to go to school early, but I also have to prepare for the day, so I've decided to stop working today after I'm done. As for this work, Station Master, I'm able to work here thanks to you, so you can handle it." Chen Dafa nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, then you can hand over the work later and go to the finance department to collect your salary. I'll say hello to Xiao Li later."
"Okay, thank you for taking care of me these days, webmaster. I will go home directly after I get my salary." Zhu Youliang said with a smile.
"Although you have been admitted to university, you are still a member of our agricultural machinery station. Come back and visit us when you have time." Chen Dafa said this and turned and left.
After Chen Dafa left, Wu Dahai immediately whispered, "What did Stationmaster Chen just say?"
Zhu Youliang didn't hide it and said as he packed his things, "When I first came here, the stationmaster mentioned that he wanted to set my brother up with her little daughter. But my brother already has a girlfriend, so it didn't work out."
Wu Dahai clapped his hands and said, "Fortunately it didn't work out. Let me tell you, Stationmaster Chen may seem like a decent guy, but his wife is a piece of shit. She's very powerful. He even wanted me to date his youngest daughter, but guess what? His wife didn't like me and refused the first time we met."
Zhu Youliang didn't think much of it; he didn't have much else. After packing his pen, notebook, and a few tools he'd bought since arriving at the station into a cloth schoolbag, he looked up and said, "Brother Wu, I've been so grateful for your care lately. I'd like to treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant at noon. Would you mind?"
"Of course I'll go. Forget about others, you're rich." Wu Dahai said as he put the green cover back on the fan. "Take this back with you."
Zhu Youliang said, "We agreed before that this would be left in the office to fan you."
"I underestimated you, Brother Wu. The machinery factory sent two machines here. One for you and one for me. I keep mine at home. If it's hot, I'll just bring it from home." Wu Dahai said proudly.
Zhu Youliang finally nodded, borrowed a pack of cigarettes from Wu Dahai, and walked around to the next few offices, thinking he'd say hello before leaving. When he passed the cigarettes to Engineer Jiang, he actually spoke to him, congratulating him on getting into university.
After receiving their wages, Zhu Youliang took Wu Dahai, who was carrying the electric fan, to the state-owned restaurant. On the way out, Wu Dahai lamented that he wished he had a camera so he could take a picture of them as a souvenir. He also suggested that it would be even better if he could take a picture under the banner at No. 1 Middle School. After dinner, Zhu Youliang said goodbye to Wu Dahai and, clutching the electric fan, headed for the town entrance. Today was the big market; maybe he could ride on an oxcart.
