"What! There isn't one!"
Before Fan Xiaofan could say anything more, Lu Zhiming quickly hung up the phone.
Just kidding, watch factories are working overtime these days, and they still can't keep up with supplying the contracted suppliers...
Domestic supplies have been temporarily suspended...
Fan Xiaofan had previously extorted two from him, which was already a significant loss for him. Selling these would bring in genuine foreign exchange, but there was nothing he could do about it, since Fan Xiaofan had played a major role in their development...
He gritted his teeth and treated himself to those two.
But now, little sister, what's wrong with you? You still want it? No, impossible, I won't give it to you...
Meanwhile, Fan Xiaofan, holding the microphone and hearing the dial tone on the other end, said, "Mr. Ruan, I tried my best..."
It's all my fault for committing too many sins in the past.
Fan Xiaofan clutched her chest heavily and hung up the phone to mourn the sins she had committed.

After Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi returned to Xiangyang Brigade, half a month had passed. Jiang's father's condition had improved, and he was able to take care of himself.
The brother and sister wanted to stay there to take care of their father, but they were driven away by their father. If they stayed there, they would be confirmed as bad elements. If they returned to Xiangyang Brigade, they would only be associated with bad elements in terms of their identity.
The difference is huge. If they had followed Father Jiang, they would have been struggled against in the future. But now that they have returned to Xiangyang Brigade, although they will not be able to live the peaceful life they used to have because of their status, and they will not be able to live in the educated youth settlement anymore, and even the food originally allocated to educated youth may be problematic, and they will have to do heavier work, at least they will not be struggled against from time to time. Last time, they only needed to submit their ideological reports on time.
After Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi returned, they didn't cause any trouble for the village chief. They even offered to move from the educated youth settlement to the cowshed...
When they returned to the educated youth settlement to pack up their belongings, Wen Yuennan's face was as sullen as a stepmother's. She wouldn't even let Jiang Yi into the room, and threw out the things she had already packed...
Jiang Yi didn't say much, silently tidying up her things that were scattered all over the floor.
Jiang Cheng finished tidying up and gave Shi Lingheng a deep look. As for Xu Youwen, he lay with his back turned, pouting, not wanting to have anything to do with him at all.
Jiang Cheng went to the yard and saw his sister's things scattered all over the ground. He clenched his fists tightly, but Jiang Yi tugged at his sleeve: "Brother, let me tidy up. It'll be done soon. It's okay, it's okay..."
Jiang Cheng deflated: "I'll help you..."
When the brother and sister left the educated youth settlement, no one saw them off. They silently carried their luggage to the cowshed. Jiang Yi forced a smile: "Brother, things are fine now. We know Dad is alright, and we don't have to live in fear every day, afraid that others will find out and we'll feel bad..."
Jiang Cheng looked at his younger sister. She had really grown up a lot and become more sensible. But he would rather she never understand the price of this maturity.
Forcing a smile, she said, "That's right, we need to take good care of ourselves so that Dad won't worry about us..."
The shadows of the brother and sister stretched long in the sunlight...
Most people in Xiangyang Brigade didn't like the brother and sister much before, thinking they were pretentious. When they came to the countryside, Grandpa Niu even caused a commotion while picking them up.
Now, because of this incident, although the two of them will be implicated with some bad elements and end up in a cowshed, the sense of responsibility shown by the brother and sister at this critical moment is admired by everyone, even if they don't say it.
