Over the past three days, Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo have visited all the heavy industrial plants in the provincial capital, and even followed Secretary Qu directly into their workshops. They are in the initial stages of building their factory, and there are still many things they lack, such as machines.
Qiao Wanyue picked out the most important items, and out of respect for Secretary Qu, he gave her a discount.
In the end, I spent nearly 20,000 yuan to purchase 70% of the machine.
When she and Secretary Guo came out, they brought 10,000 yuan with them. Since the money wasn't enough, they wrote an IOU and gave him their account number. They then had Yang Dongliang go to the post office to transfer the money to their account.
The machine will be delivered to Xiahe Village by a large truck.
Qiao Wanyue and Guo Yushu returned home, travel-worn.
As soon as she got off the train, Qiao Wanyue spotted Uncle Yang at the train station entrance.
Uncle Yang also saw them and waved happily.
The oxcart swayed and wobbled as it headed toward Xiahe Village.
The snow hadn't completely melted, and the road was only half-finished. The unfinished section was a mess of snowmelt and mud, and the wheels of the car made uneven ruts. The cows were unusually excited and ran forward like madmen.
The journey was bumpy.
Qiao Wanyue felt dizzy when she got out of the car.
"Go home and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Qiao Wanyue, her face pale, nodded weakly, "Okay."
Sister-in-law Lu was cutting paper in the yard. The yard had good natural light, and she usually stayed there when the weather was nice. She tried to work during the day so as not to use kerosene at night.
Xiahe Village still does not have electricity.
"Wanyue, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Sister-in-law Lu looked up, she saw Qiao Wanyue leaning against the door in a disheveled state, her pale face looking very pitiful.
Qiao Wanyue reached out her hand, "Sister-in-law, help me up."
Sister-in-law Lu quickly put down what she was holding, helped her into the house, and poured her a glass of warm water to drink.
Qiao Wanyue closed her eyes.
Sister-in-law Lu lit the stove in her room and closed the door behind her when she left.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was shining warmly through the window.
"mom?"
Lu Rong was changing coal briquettes with fire tongs when she smiled and said, "I called you to get up for dinner last night, but you said you were too sleepy, so I didn't wake you. Is there anything else bothering you?"
I don't remember Qiao Wanyue very well.
Her memory ends with her returning in an oxcart, and her sister-in-law helping her into the room.
"fine."
She stretched and asked, "Mom, what time is it now?"
Lu Rong took out the burnt-out coal briquettes, put in a new one, closed the lid of the coal stove, and placed a white steamed bun and a sweet potato he had taken from the cellar on top.
"It was early morning, just after the sun came out."
Although the winter sun is warm, it is still very cold.
"Wear something warmer," Lu Rong instructed.
Qiao Wanyue nodded, reached under the quilt to take out her cotton-padded jacket and put it on, then put on her woolen trousers, then her pants, and finally her cotton shoes. She said, "Mom, the brigade needs to finalize some details about building the factory before the New Year. I'll be very busy these days."
It's December now, and the Lunar New Year is just half a month away. Xiahe Village is developing well now, and every household can eat meat during the New Year. But she will be busy this year.
She needed to have full authority over the factory construction.
Lu Rong frowned. "The New Year is almost here, and you're not even giving us a holiday?"
Qiao Wanyue shook her head, "The new factory will be put into production after the New Year. We must work harder before the New Year to confirm everything."
Lu Rong nodded.
It means I understand.
Qiao Wanyue ate a baked bun and a sweet potato, then went out.
She and Secretary Guo went to the commune again.
