After returning home, Gu Shi began to make arrangements.
He's no longer content to stay in this small county town; he wants to move up and go see the provincial capital.
The provincial capital, Xinshi City, is 500 kilometers away from the small county town; there will be a much bigger stage there.
Therefore, Gu Shi has been intentionally cultivating his own people recently, some of whom he wants to take with him.
Some of them were trained to take over the business here. He opened three factories in the county, managed a black market, and has now invested in real estate.
The two took some time to go back to their hometown.
Lin Qingyu felt that the rest of the family would definitely cause trouble once they saw that Lin Juanjuan and Li Xiuli had jobs.
It's better to take the initiative to arrange things for them, whatever comes their way.
Gu Shi then listed out the positions in a small factory, all of which were unimportant, and notified those people.
The people of Pear Blossom Village somehow got wind of the news, and many of them rushed to the Lin family's place to see what was going on.
"Hey! How come this oil pressing factory makes so much money?"
"That's right, look at this, just cleaning the machine every day, you can earn twenty-five yuan a month!"
...
This is a new policy that came out this year. Wages have increased everywhere, and even Lin Juanjuan and her husband have seen their wages rise to twenty-five!
So the people of Lihua Village were even more tempted, thinking that this was much better than farming at home.
However, a large number of people do not want to go. These people just want to stay at home and feel that going out to work is not very stable.
Half of Lin Qingyu's family members share this idea.
Perfect timing, there weren't that many idle people to support in the factory, so it was finally decided.
Lin Qingyu's uncle, Lin Juanjuan and her family, and Li Xiuli and her family, a total of five people, are going.
Seeing that there were still two positions available, one family couldn't wait to sign up.
After the seven people were finally confirmed and filled out their information, they happily went home to pack their things, planning to set off early the next morning.
Gu Shi took Lin Qingyu back to the old house, the thatched cottage.
We had originally agreed to rebuild it, but it's been years and it's still in the same state.
However, it won't leak when it rains.
Gu Hongxing's family is all here today. They know that Gu Shi has become successful, but unlike others, they don't rush to curry favor with him.
The two arrived at Gu Hongxing's house, and Gu Xiaojie stared blankly at the visitors.
Lin Qingyu took the initiative to step forward and greet him: "Xiao Jie, do you remember me? I'm the aunt next door."
Gu Xiaojie has grown up a lot, but he is still the quiet type. He seemed to remember after a while.
"Aunt Xiaoyu! Uncle Gu! Mom! Dad! Uncle Gu and the others are here!"
After realizing what had happened, she ran to find an adult.
Gu Hongxing was tending the fire for Zhu Chunyan while they were steaming buns at home.
"Hey! Xiaoyu, you're home! Come in and have a seat!"
Zhu Chunyan greeted the two with a smile, but since she had some flour on her clothes, she didn't get too close.
Gu Hongxing chuckled and said, "Little Gu! Shall we have a drink later?"
Lin Qingyu politely declined, saying, "No, Brother Gu, he drove and doesn't drink. Let's do it another day! I just came to your house for a free meal today, is that alright, Sister Chunyan?"
"Sure, of course! Please have a seat. I've started steaming some buns; they'll be ready soon!"
Afterwards, the two families sat down for a meal together, during which Lin Qingyu asked the two of them what they thought.
At first, the two didn't want to go and just wanted to stay home, but then Gu Xiaojie suddenly asked.
"Auntie, does Brother Xiaobao go to school in the county town?"
Zhu Chunyan fell silent. The child was their concern, and they would accept anything that was good for the child.
The education in the county town is definitely much better than that in this small Pear Blossom Village, in the commune's schools.
Finally, Gu Shi sent the two to the steel factory, which, although a small factory, was the one with the highest income.
Before leaving, Lin Qingyu slipped some cloth coupons to Zhu Chunyan as she said goodbye to the family of three.
Without cloth coupons, it would cost three times the price to buy cloth. She felt sorry for Zhu Chunyan, who was reluctant to make herself a set of clothes.
There were also some other tickets tucked inside, because she was worried that the couple might not have enough money since they had just arrived in the county.
She was also worried that if she offered money, the two of them wouldn't accept it.
Before it got dark, the two arrived in the county town. Lin Qingyu wanted to go to a restaurant, but after Gu Shi dropped her off, he drove to the factory.
Because the steel plants were all close together, Jiang Lili would sometimes run into Gu Shi here.
It was right at the end of the workday, and Li Bo had to work overtime again today. He told Jiang Lili to go home first, while he stayed behind.
They usually walk together, and they don't work overtime very often.
Jiang Lili didn't pay much attention. She hadn't walked far from the gate when she saw Gu Shi's car parked at the factory gate.
She then made an excuse and stopped walking with her colleagues.
There was a canteen next to the factory. Jiang Lili parked her car at the entrance and pretended to buy dumplings inside.
Just after I finished buying it, I saw Gu Shi come out to drive.
There was a lot of foot traffic, so Gu Shi didn't drive very fast. Jiang Lili caught up with him in no time.
She followed Gu Shi all the way, watching him walk into a shop, a watch shop.
Gu Shi stayed inside for a while before coming out. His car was parked quite far away, so Jiang Lili took advantage of the crowd to sneak in.
She feigned a shy expression and asked the shop assistant, "What kind of watch did that gentleman just buy?"
The sales clerk assumed she was Gu Shi's boyfriend: "Was that your boyfriend just now? He has good taste; he bought this women's watch!"
The sales clerk happily introduced the products to her, and after Jiang Lili finished looking at them, she thanked them and left.
Just then, I saw Gu Shi start his car and drive away.
That watch costs over two hundred, which is several months' salary for her.
Riding her bicycle, Jiang Lili followed Gu Shi all the way, and saw him walk into a flower shop.
This is the only place in the entire county that sells pre-packaged bouquets.
Not long after, Gu Shi left again.
This time, Jiang Lili went into that flower shop and bought two flowers for herself.
When she got home, she saw that the door to the apartment next door was closed, and the two people hadn't come home yet.
Jiang Lili stood at the door, holding the key in her hand, her body turned to look at Lin Qingyu's front door.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice Zhao Xiaobao coming up the stairs on his way home from school.
Zhao Xiaobao didn't see her at first, but when he got to his front door, he heard the sound of keys falling to the ground behind him.
He glanced at her but didn't pay much attention to Jiang Lili.
Despite the darkness, the woman was bending over, searching for something on the ground.
After entering the house, Zhao Xiaobao habitually turned on the corridor light. He usually turned on the light whenever Gu Shi and Lin Qingyu were not home.
So that it wouldn't be too dark when the two of them got home.
However, Zhao Xiaobao did not expect that his unintentional act would bring him some rather disgusting trouble.
With the help of this light, Jiang Lili finally found the key that had been left in the corner.
