Seeing Li Chunli getting a little excited, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but smile bitterly and continued, "Sister Li, what's the point of us going to find them? Words are not enough."
The phrase "words are not enough" quickly calmed Li Chunli down. Yuan Fangguo was right. They really had no evidence to support their words. They could only say that they were cheated by the director.
Li Chunli couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She and Yuan Fangguo stayed in the provincial capital and didn't go home for the New Year just to get the ticket business. Who would have thought that this would be the result.
For Yuan Fangguo, this result was both expected and unexpected. In the end, he didn't even get a chance and was only given a half-day trip to the Provincial Sports Bureau.
He was even more upset than Li Chunli. The fat piece of meat that was once within his grasp had suddenly flown away. However, he had no way to change the outcome. Since it was a Hong Kong businessman who had won it, there must be some unusual relationship.
Both of them were depressed for a long time, until Yuan Fangguo suggested going to the market again tomorrow and returning to Dabei County the day after tomorrow. Only then did Li Chunli's mood improve a little. At least she could see her lovely daughter.
On the way back to Dabei, Li Chunli still told them that she wanted to buy a house. After all, they couldn't do any big business at the moment.
"Sister Li, it's time for you to buy a house in Chengdu. Renovate it well in the first half of the year, and then you can bring your daughter over next semester." Yuan Fangguo agreed without hesitation.
When she thought about the fact that buying a house and renovating it would cost at least 150,000 or 160,000 yuan, which would almost take away all of her share, Li Chunli still felt a little reluctant. After thinking about it, she told Yuan Fangguo that they should go to Guangzhou again before school started, and this time they would make a big profit.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Fangguo said, "It's easy to get the stuff, but with such a long distance, there are certain risks if I mail it."
"Fang Guo, can't you drive? I have a fellow villager who has a truck. If you dare to drive, I'll borrow the truck. I'll fly to Yangcheng to buy the goods, and you can drive over here. How about that?"
"I'll ask the second brother if he can get me a driver's license quickly. It would also be better if he can help me find an experienced driver in the army, and I'll go with him." There were basically no highways in that era. Driving from Chengdu to Guangzhou is about 1,600 kilometers. At a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it would take them at least 20 hours.
Yuan Fangguo also agreed with this idea in his heart. In this way, they could at least save a lot of postage.
"Okay, you ask Fang Tai." Li Chunli nodded.
Ever since the two were robbed by a fare bully while traveling from Dabei to Chengdu in August last year, the Public Security Department of Bashu Province has launched a six-month special campaign to crack down on fare bullies. Therefore, the driver drove very fast on the way back, and the original eight-hour journey was shortened to about seven hours.
After arriving in Dabei County, it was already past four in the afternoon and there were no more buses back to his hometown. Yuan Fangguo could only stay at Li Chunli's parents' home that night.
Li Chunli's parents have three sons and one daughter. The three sons have already started their own families. According to local tradition, married men have to separate from their parents, so her family consists of only her parents and her daughter Niuniu.
Li Chunli's hometown is on the outskirts of the city, not far from the county seat. In Yuan Fangguo's impression, this will be the location of the xc district in the future.
Her house is made of adobe, with a black chimney standing above the green tiles.
When Li Chunli saw her child playing with other children in the yard, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Niuniu..." When Li Chunli called out this sentence, she felt her nose sore and she almost couldn't control her tears.
Niu Niu was wearing a thick flowered cotton jacket and a woolen hat. When she heard someone calling her, she couldn't help but turn around and look around.
Niu Niu is a very cute little girl, with a rosy face as cute as an apple, big eyes, and long eyelashes. No matter how you look at her, she looks like a doll in a New Year picture.
To Li Chunli's surprise, Niu Niu looked at her blankly, as if she didn't know her.
It was Li Chunli's brother's child next to her who reminded her, "Big Fatty, that's your mother."
When Niu Niu saw that the beautiful woman in front of her was actually her mother, she blinked her big eyes cutely a few times and then burst into tears.
After hearing Niu Niu crying like this, Li Chunli could no longer control her emotions and hugged Niu Niu in pain.
Li Chunli's parents also rushed over after hearing the news. They were both honest rural people. Seeing their daughter hugging her granddaughter and crying loudly, Li Chunli's mother couldn't help but wipe away her tears quietly.
The mother and daughter cried for a while. Li Chunli sniffed and kissed Niuniu hard. "Niuniu, be good. Niuniu, don't cry. Mommy bought you new clothes, new shoes, and toys..."
When new clothes and new shoes were taken out in front of Niu Niu, the innocent and lovely Niu Niu stopped crying.
"Dad, Mom..." Li Chunli wiped away her tears with a strong face and looked at the two simple and unpretentious old people in front of her.
"You're back." Mother Li smiled kindly.
"I'm back. I'll bring you and Niuniu to Chengdu next semester." Li Chunli said a little angrily.
"It's good that you're back. Go home quickly." When Li's mother spoke, her eyes glanced at Yuan Fangguo, and her meaning was very clear.
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is my business partner, Xiao Yuan. He's also from Dabei County. We came back from Rongcheng together, and now there's no car to get to his house, so I asked him to stay at our house tonight."
Her parents were honest farmers themselves and had no objection to her introduction. However, the neighbors saw it all and many gossips began to whisper among themselves.
"See? Li Chunli dumped her husband and found another gigolo."
"She's dressed so well, could it be that she's being kept by that guy?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that many beautiful girls in our village are working as prostitutes outside."
Naturally, these words did not reach the ears of Yuan Fangguo, Li Chunli and her family immediately, but the speed of spread outside them was quite fast. In less than half a day, the entire production team knew that Li Chunli had found a rich man. It was precisely because of the affair with Yuan Fangguo, a rich man, that Li Chunli got divorced.
