Shipeng, it's really you!" Guan Fuan stepped forward, grabbed Guan Shipeng's hand, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
"It's me, brother. I finally see you again." Guan Shipeng tried his best not to get too excited, but his eyes were still wet.
"Brother, I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're okay. Hurry, go home!" Guan Fuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put his arm around Guan Shipeng's shoulders and went back to the house.
The room was now very lively, Liu Yan'e kept pouring water for Guan Shipeng. Guan Fuan kept talking to his brother, wishing to say all the words he had said over the years.
Ye Li and Jiang Xun followed Guan Gensheng to the weaving room to check the situation.
"Brother-in-law, you see, these machines have to stop working for a while from time to time. Do you think they can be repaired?"
"Well, it's not a big problem, leave it to me. Ye Li, don't accompany me. The factory is stuffy. You and Gensheng should wait for me in a cool and ventilated place." After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he took off his short-sleeved shirt, put on only a vest, and started repairing the machine with tools.
"Come on, sister. I'll take you out. By the way, I'll report to you on the work situation."
The two of them came out of the weaving room, found a big tree to sit under and started chatting.
...
...
"The cloth has been woven almost completely, and the production is also in progress. I estimate that the last batch will be completed in about ten days. Sister, do you think we should ship the goods in batches or take them all away at the end?"
"Let's go in batches. This way it won't attract too much attention. Remember to keep good accounts for the batches sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives. At least it can prove that our goods have a formal sales channel." Ye Li reminded.
"Okay, I understand. Brother Nie just came here yesterday and he told me about this matter."
"That's good. Be sure to be extra careful."
"Of course. All the people in our village, young and old, depend on these clothes for their livelihood. We will definitely not let anything go wrong." Guan Gensheng also often visited the village and was very concerned about what Ye Li told him.
"Oh, by the way, sister, I have something to report to you. Recently, there is a woman who has been wandering around our village. She doesn't look like a local. I think her behavior is quite suspicious."
Guan Gensheng thought of the woman he met in the village two days ago. The woman was dressed like a city girl and said she came to Qingshan Village to visit relatives, but she couldn't tell who her relatives were.
In the end, he was driven away by Guan Gensheng.
"Okay, I get it, Gensheng. Not bad. You are quite alert."
Ye Li was very pleased when he heard Guan Gensheng's report. It seemed that he was the right person to entrust the task to.
"By the way, sister, there is something else I want to tell you."
Guan Gensheng hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm not an outsider."
Ye Li looked at Guan Gensheng, signaling him to speak out boldly.
"I think these dresses are very pretty. Can I buy two for myself and for Yuetao?"
"Of course you can, it's no problem for you to just take two, but you have to wait until the goods are shipped."
Ye Li also thought that these clothes were very fashionable, and she wanted to wear two of them. But now her figure is out of shape, and her big belly can't fit into them, which is a pity.
"I can't take it for free, I have to pay. Otherwise, if everyone sees it, they might want to steal the clothes, which would be bad." Guan Gensheng has principles. He knows that everyone will benefit from this batch of clothes, so he can't be greedy for the bargain.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Ye Li knew what Guan Gensheng was worried about, so he didn't say anything. You know, there are so many eyes watching in the village. If Guan Gensheng took the clothes for nothing, the other villagers would definitely not let it go. It would be difficult to deal with it then.
The two were chatting animatedly when suddenly someone from the village entrance came running towards the weaving room in a panic.
"Oh no! Someone from the city is here to check on us!"
Er Gouzi ran and shouted, informing the villagers.
"What's going on?" Guan Gensheng stopped Ergou and asked him to explain the situation clearly.
"I saw a woman coming with a few people in uniform. They said they were from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. They wanted to come to our village to investigate speculation and profiteering." Ergouzi said while panting.
"What! Hurry up and call the village chief and the village party secretary, quickly!" Guan Shenggen's head suddenly buzzed when he heard this, and a terrible idea came to his mind.
"Sister, you and brother-in-law should leave quickly. We might have been reported!" Guan Gen was afraid of implicating Ye Li and Jiang Xun, so he planned to send her and Jiang Xun away first.
"I won't leave until the matter is clarified. Let's go find your brother-in-law." Ye Li got up and went to the weaving room with Guan Gensheng.
"How did you get in? I almost finished fixing it. Let's go together after you finish." Jiang Xun didn't know what was happening outside. He was sweating profusely while repairing the machine in the workshop, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Brother-in-law, something happened. People from above are coming to investigate us. Put down your tools quickly and take my sister away from here. My sister doesn't want to leave, but I think it's too risky. You two both have decent jobs, you can't lose your jobs because of this." Guan Gensheng said as he pulled Jiang Xun and Ye Li and were about to leave.
"Don't worry, I'll finish tightening this screw." Jiang Xun picked up another screw from the ground and started tightening it.
"Stop twisting it, it's really urgent. Let's go!" Guan Gensheng was so anxious that he was furious, but when he looked at Ye Li and Jiang Xun, he seemed calm.
"Okay, let's go out." After finishing his work, Jiang Xun took off his gloves, put on his shirt, and took Ye Li out of the weaving room.
At this time, the village chief and the village party secretary also arrived, and the people from the industrial and commercial management department also arrived at the weaving room.
All the people met here.
"Who is the village chief? We have received reports that your village is engaged in speculation and reselling clothes."
The uniformed leader stood at the door with a stack of documents and asked about the situation.
"I~! I'm the village chief. You've come all the way here, thank you for your hard work. Come and sit down in the brigade, we'll talk slowly." The village chief hurried over and wanted to take a few staff members to the village brigade.
"No, we need to check the situation in the village. It won't be too late to talk after we have checked everything."
"Okay, let me take the lead on what you guys want to see."
"What is this place for?" asked the business administration staff.
"These are a few weaving machines that our village built itself. If you are interested, come in and take a look."
Before the village chief could finish his words, several staff members walked in and saw several looms placed in the house. There were still some unfinished cloths on the looms.
"It seems that what was reported is true. Their village is indeed weaving cloth. Once the cloth is woven, it can be processed into clothes and then sold secretly. Isn't this disrupting the market?" One of the short staff members muttered.
"No, no, you are wrongly accusing us. We dare not interfere with the market or engage in speculation. We will lose our heads if we do that!" The village chief hurried out to explain when he heard it.
"What's there to explain? Aren't these things all laid out here? The evidence is irrefutable. There's no point in making excuses. Come, put up the seal. Who is in charge of the weaving mill? We need to take the person in charge back for investigation!"
