Xu Xiangyang strolled leisurely to the supply and marketing cooperative, just in time to see Shen Fangjun coming out.
He greeted him with a smile, saying, "Comrade Shen, how have you been lately?"
When Shen Fangjun saw him, she smiled and said, "Comrade Xu, it's been a long time. I'm doing well, and I'm busy at work right now."
She's quite busy selling her goods, especially on her days off, when there are even more customers.
People who usually don't get a chance to go shopping are all out today.
"You go ahead and do your work, I'll just take a look around." Xu Xiangyang told her to go ahead and do her work so as not to delay her from going to work.
He bought some newly arrived pine nuts, all of which were roasted just yesterday. Of course, he couldn't tell that someone had told him about them.
These things are generally hard to sell, don't fill you up, and few people buy them.
Xu Xiangyang remembered that Wang Xiumin liked to eat it, so he bought more.
"Comrade Xu, you're so free?" Cao Yajun called out to him from behind.
He had just heard from Shen Fangjun that Xu Xiangyang had come over, and seeing that Shen Fangjun was busy, he came over here instead.
"Hey, Secretary Cao, you're pretty free, aren't you? Looking for a partner again?" Xu Xiangyang joked with a smile.
It's okay to joke like that; the two of them aren't new acquaintances.
Cao Yajun smiled but didn't say anything, gesturing for him to leave.
The two walked out one after the other. There were quite a few people outside, so they took a few more steps to the side.
"We're starting the project tomorrow. Have you prepared anything?" Cao Yajun asked, handing Xu Xiangyang a cigarette.
Xu Xiangyang took it and lit it himself, saying, "Get ready, get ready for what? I only prepared a notebook and a few pens."
Because it was his first time dealing with these things, to be honest, he had absolutely no experience.
Cao Yajun nodded. "Okay, let's prepare some more changes of clothes and such. We'll be staying for at least a month this time. It'll mainly be meetings, so it might be very busy."
He finished speaking and sighed. Once they went back, they wouldn't be able to come out for a long time, and the same went for everyone else, including the leaders.
Because this project is very important and time is tight, it would be best to complete the preliminary plan within a month so that others can start working.
Xu Xiangyang didn't feel anything was amiss; it was all the same wherever he was. The situation at home was stable now, and Xu Guangtian's job was also stable.
He glanced at Cao Yajun and said, "When are you two planning to get married? This project will probably take several months to finish, right?"
Those words really hit home.
Cao Yajun clicked his tongue, looking helpless. "Fangjun said she'll get married at the end of the year. What can I do?"
He wanted to get married soon, but Shen Fangjun disagreed. There was really nothing he could do but wait.
Xu Xiangyang curled his lips. He thought it was better to make it a done deal than to leave it untouched. Why not just take it directly?
Of course, just because he has an open mind doesn't mean that others can keep up.
If he's dating someone and wants to marry her, then he'll have to be pushed along!
If you listen to everything others say, when will you ever get married?
Sometimes you have to be a little pushy. If you're a bit assertive, she'll consider your feelings and might just agree.
If you wait like Cao Yajun, the opportunity will be lost.
"Alright, be sure to let me know when you get married. I'll be giving two sets of gifts." He said with a smile, but he didn't say what he really meant.
The main concern is that if others listen to me, they might turn around and lecture me, which would be too boring.
After the two finished talking, Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time and prepared to go home.
Cao Yajun had to wait for Shen Fangjun to get off work, so he let him go home, saying they'd have plenty of time to talk later.
Watching Xu Xiangyang leave, Cao Yajun sighed. He could clearly see the mocking look in Xu Xiangyang's eyes.
What to do? He also wanted to get married quickly, but he was afraid of upsetting Shen Fangjun.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and went inside. He waited for a long time before Shen Fangjun came out after changing shifts with someone else.
"What's wrong with you? You know I'm busy today, why did you come looking for me?" Shen Fangjun said unhappily.
She usually waits for Cao Yajun, but today was a rare occasion where things were different, and she hadn't even had a chance to properly enjoy it yet.
Cao Yajun said helplessly, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back. How can I not come to see you when I'm gone for so long?"
He was almost frantic with worry, and this little girl actually dared to criticize him!
Upon hearing this, Shen Fangjun felt extremely annoyed. The thought of not being able to see each other for so long made her feel incredibly sad.
"Can't I just ask for leave?" she said, but she knew it was impossible.
Cao Yajun shook his head as expected. "Fangjun, let's get the certificate today. We've already completed all the paperwork, okay?"
He was really afraid that while he was away, Shen Fangjun would be snatched away by someone else.
It's not that he doesn't trust people, it's that he doesn't trust others!
Such a wonderful girl, others aren't blind.
Upon hearing about getting their marriage certificate, Shen Fangjun blushed slightly, feeling shy.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked, seemingly knowing the answer already.
"Isn't that because I like you? Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry?" Cao Yajun didn't care about anything else this time and said all sorts of cheesy things.
Shen Fangjun stood there blushing and lowered her head, but she couldn't resist Cao Yajun's persistent pleading and finally went to get their marriage certificate.
Looking at the newly issued marriage certificate, Cao Yajun revealed a triumphant smile.
"Honey, I need to talk to you about something tonight, and there are some things I want to tell you. You must come to see me." He looked at the person in front of him and said earnestly.
Seeing how serious he was, Shen Fangjun nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely go."
She didn't think much of it, and once she had both documents processed, they parted ways.
During dinner that evening, Xu Xiangyang told his family about his business trip.
Of course, as mentioned before, I thought it would be a few days, but it turned out to be one or two months, and the timeframe is not entirely certain.
Upon hearing that it would take so long, Wang Xiumin began to think about what to bring him.
Upon hearing that she wanted to bring this and that, Xu Xiangyang quickly interrupted her.
He said, "I don't need to bring anything. I'll just bring some clothes. I'm on a business trip, not a vacation. What would it look like if my boss saw me like this?"
He's right. If you bring a lot of good stuff, shouldn't you share it?
It's better not to bring it at all. Anyway, he has his own space, what doesn't he have?
Wang Zhongshan nodded in agreement, "That's right. When he goes out with the leader, he brings so many nice things. People who don't know him would think he's the leader."
Hearing him say that, Wang Xiumin stopped arguing and said, "Fine, bring whatever you want."
She's being kind, so I'll just ignore her!
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Mom, you're worried about me, how could I not know? Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. It's hard on you taking care of your two younger brothers, so let Dad do any chores, okay?"
Xu Guangtian, whose name was mentioned, immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, your mother definitely won't get tired!"
He's seizing every opportunity to shine!
