Although Ye Weiwei said she wouldn't supply any more goods before the end of the year after the transaction, Xing Yuan, Tang Kun, and the others simply couldn't wait that long.
Especially towards the end of the year, many people even tried to use their connections to buy the premium grains from them, causing the price of grains to more than double.
While Xing Yuan and his group made a fortune, they also searched everywhere for "Brother Wei," but after searching the entire county, they couldn't find anyone who was similar in age, temperament, or personality to "Brother Wei," which made them extremely anxious.
But no matter how anxious you are, it's as if this person has vanished into thin air; you can't find them at all.
Ye Weiwei slowly stretched on the recliner, then glanced at Xiaoshan, Xiaochuan, and Xiaoxing playing with her second brother in the yard, and couldn't help but shake her head.
Fortunately, her house had a large yard, with a huge area in the front and back yards combined, enough for the few of them to make a ruckus.
Xu Meijun and Xie Ning returned with local specialties to pay New Year's greetings. As soon as they entered, they saw Ye Erge playing with three little ones like a king of children.
Xu Meijun's eyes suddenly lit up.
As soon as she got back yesterday, Chen Jiali told her about Ye Weiwei's second brother coming here for the Chinese New Year this year, but Chen Jiali's description of him as handsome was completely inadequate to capture even a fraction of his charm!
This isn't just pretty, it's absolutely gorgeous!
As expected of a product from Ye Weiwei's family.
When Ye Weiwei saw them come in, she walked up to Xu Meijun and mischievously poked her, "You're drooling, hurry up and wipe it off."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Upon hearing this, Xu Meijun quickly wiped her mouth, only then realizing her mistake. She glared at Ye Weiwei, embarrassed and annoyed: "You're deliberately making fun of me!"
Ye Weiwei chuckled: "It's because you made it too obvious."
After saying that, he casually added, "Don't love him, it won't end well!"
She remembered that her second brother's official partner was a female war correspondent.
Xu Meijun rolled her eyes. "Are you serious? Last time your two cousins came to see you, I just said a few words of appreciation, and you acted like you were guarding against a wolf. Now your second cousin is doing the same thing! Let me tell you, I was just admiring him. It would be a waste not to take a second look at good-looking people."
I don't know when I'll meet someone so good-looking again.
Ye Weiwei's "you better do that" attitude infuriated Xu Meijun to the point that she wanted to hit her.
"Let me tell you, I have a fiancé, so don't you dare spread rumors and ruin my reputation."
Ye Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, "You got engaged during your trip home?"
Xu Meijun rarely showed a hint of shyness: "What? You're already married, and you won't let me get engaged?"
Ye Weiwei chuckled, "How could I dare! Don't stand at the door in the cold wind, let's go inside and talk."
As she spoke, she welcomed Xu Meijun and Xie Ning into the house, and after they sat down, she brought out fruit, roasted nuts and candies for them.
Xu Meijun's eyes lit up when she saw the big, red apples. Without saying a word, she picked one up and took a bite. "So delicious! No wonder Chen Jiali kept talking about your apples after she got back. This is definitely the best apple I've ever eaten in my life!"
Ye Weiwei was amused by her rich and exaggerated expressions, and then gestured for Xie Ning to eat as well. Xie Ning liked to eat pears, so he took a sweet pear, took a bite, and found that this pear was very different from the ones he had eaten before. It was plump, juicy, and sweeter.
The two gave Ye Weiwei some local specialties they had brought from home.
Xu Meijun prepared some dried seafood for them, including a bag of dried shrimp, a bag of dried squid, and a bag of sea cucumber.
Xu Meijun saw Ye Weiwei looking at the bag of sea cucumbers and assumed she didn't know what it was, since many people who don't live by the sea don't know what it is.
"Don't let its small size and hard appearance fool you. Once it's soaked and expanded, it will be at least three times its current size. You can use it to make soup or porridge, or eat it directly after it's expanded. It's very nutritious."
Ye Weiwei appeared to have learned her lesson, but in her heart she was thinking that she could take out some of the seafood from her space.
The babies in her belly will grow very quickly after three months, so she needs to supplement her nutrition to avoid not getting enough.
Xie Ning brought mostly ordinary items, such as a box of pastries from a well-established brand in Beijing.
Ye Weiwei happily accepted the gifts and thanked them.
The three inevitably started talking about the quota for worker-peasant-soldier college students again.
Xu Meijun had already heard from Chen Jiali about what happened at the educated youth settlement and in the village after they left, and she was furious: "I really can't believe Liu Xiangqian is so shameless. He would do such a despicable thing for a spot."
I met Wu Xiuyue a few times when she was working. She didn't talk much, but she was observant and hardworking. She was a quiet and easy-going person.
Seeing her so angry she wanted to hit someone, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, there's no use in being angry. In matters of the heart, it's a matter of mutual consent. If she can't understand it herself, no amount of outsiders worrying her will help."
Xu Meijun sat down dejectedly, "That's true."
"However, I don't think Liu Xiangqian has given up. He might still be plotting something bad. You'd better be careful."
Ye Weiwei: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Hearing Ye Weiwei say that, Xu Meijun immediately felt reassured.
Then he nudged Xie Ning and said, "Xie Ning, when you go to university, don't forget us, especially Ye Weiwei. Don't be like some people and become an ingrate."
Xie Ning coughed awkwardly twice, looked at Ye Weiwei and then at Xu Meijun, hesitating to speak.
Ye Weiwei was getting anxious for him, seeing that he clearly had something to say but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Xu Meijun was so anxious that she slapped him on the back, almost knocking Xie Ning to the ground.
"Just say what you have to say! A grown man like you is so indecisive!"
Xie Ning blushed slightly. "I'm afraid I can't go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Ye Weiwei, let's give that spot to someone else."
Ye Weiwei and Xu Meijun were both surprised.
I never expected Xie Ning to push away such a good opportunity!
Xu Meijun couldn't keep it to herself and immediately asked, "Why? This is such a great opportunity! Do you know how rare this is? Xie Ning, don't make a mistake!"
What's so great about staying in this lousy rural area!
If it weren't for the fact that she had only recently been sent to the countryside, and such a good opportunity wouldn't have come her way, she would have racked her brains to think of a way to try and get it.
Xie Ning looked at Ye Weiwei with guilt, and finally said only one sentence: "I have a reason to stay here. I'm really sorry to have let you down."
Ye Weiwei waved her hand: "There's no such thing as letting anyone down. You don't need to make it sound so serious. I just happened to be there."
