Zhong Zijun was already full of energy the next morning.
Because the village has not received their rehabilitation documents yet, they still need to stand guard for the last time and wait for the document notification to come down so that they can leave.
The three of them didn't plan to take anything here except some personal belongings, so there was nothing to pack.
Gu Qinghuan went to see Chen Fengqin and Xu Huainian and told them that he was leaving.
"Qing Huan, I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come.
You are a rare talent among men, and it is really unfair for you to stay in this barren place like ours.
Thank you for showing me a clear path, and don't forget us in the future.
By the way, please leave me your address. You like to eat pine nuts, and I will send them to you every year when the pine nuts are in season." Chen Fengqin had already accepted this and said it in a casual manner.
"Sister Fengqin, thank you for your care and help during these years in Xujiatun. Please keep in touch with me. If you have any questions about the factory, you can ask me. We are still the same as before.
If you have the chance to visit Beijing in the future, I will take you to climb the Great Wall, see Tiananmen Square, and visit the Forbidden City. "
"That would be great!"
Chen Fengqin had never thought that she would be able to leave Xujiatun and go to Beijing for fun in her life. At this time, she was thinking about Gu Qinghuan's words.
Unexpectedly, many years later, I really had the opportunity to visit Beijing. At that time, Gu Qinghuan still received them and their family warmly as he did in those years.
That’s all in the past.
"Qinghuan, this is your July salary. Give me your address and I will mail your salary to you every month in the future." Xu Huainian handed over thirty yuan.
One should not forget his roots. Although Gu Qinghuan is gone, he still has to be paid. Without Gu Qinghuan, there would be no factory, and there would be no Xu Huainian today.
Now he is the Party branch secretary and his eldest brother is the team leader. They both have a lot of say in the whole Xujiatun.
Gu Qinghuan quickly said, "Brother Huai Nian, I'll accept the thirty yuan, but forget about it in the future. I've made a lot of money from the factory over the past year, especially the research and development expenses. Five hundred yuan a time is quite enough.
After I leave, you don’t have to continue paying me.”
"How can that be! We agreed on this. Let me make it clear that as long as I, Xu Huainian, am the factory director, the factory will always give you a share of your salary. You are not allowed to refuse." Xu Huainian insisted on giving it.
On the one hand, he had indeed promised to do so, but on the other hand, he was also a little selfish and did not want to sever the ties between him and Gu Qinghuan. Thirty yuan a month was equivalent to supporting a good military advisor who could plan everything for himself. It was a great bargain.
He has lived half his life and has already mastered the ways of the world.
After Gu Qinghuan left, time passed and even the best friendship would gradually fade away.
But if we receive this little salary every year, and send some mountain products from time to time, the two families will not be considered to have severed contact, and we can talk about anything in the future.
Gu Qinghuan and Xu Laoer are both outstanding people with unlimited future prospects. It is a great deal to spend 360 yuan a year to win people's hearts.
Gu Qinghuan probably understood what he meant, and thought he was a very nice person, so he no longer refused.
Today, Yujie Soap Factory has very stable orders and considerable income, which has solved the employment problems of many young people in the village. It is no longer the small workshop it once was.
Xu Huainian is a far-sighted man. In his opinion, as long as this soap factory stays on the right track, it will surely get better and better.
Gu Qinghuan thought about it and reminded Chen Fengqin that as the factory developed, it would obviously be inappropriate for her to keep accounts in the same stupid way as before.
She had to find a way to learn about accounting and keep accounts according to professional methods. Even if she didn't do accounting, she had to at least be able to understand the accounts kept by others so as not to be deceived. Finance was also of great importance to the development of the factory.
Chen Fengqin nodded repeatedly. She suffered the loss of being uneducated. She had only been to primary school and was good at simple bookkeeping, but now it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to manage accounts.
People really need to live longer and learn more.
But she already had an idea.
"At the beginning of this year, my eldest son was introduced to a girl from the commune. Her family conditions were average, but she had graduated from high school and was relatively educated. She was attracted by our family conditions.
The two are dating now and may get married by the end of this year.
I thought about waiting until she came in.
I paid for her to learn accounting skills, and she can come back to help manage the factory in the future. My brain can't work as fast as young people now."
"Sister Fengqin, as long as you have made up your mind, I would like to congratulate you in advance. You will be a mother-in-law soon.
By the way, there is one more thing. After I leave, Mr. Wang’s house will be returned to the village. The large items in it, such as the kang cabinets and tables, are all sets. I can’t take them away, so I will leave them all to you.
When I leave, you can move it back."
Chen Fengqin's eyes lit up.
"Really? Thank you so much! I was just about to build a house for my eldest son and buy furniture. Your furniture came just in time, saving me from having to buy it again."
She knew the furniture in Gu Qinghuan's house. It was not worn very often and was well-used, so it looked brand new. It would be perfect for her eldest son to use for his wedding. People in the countryside are not particular about anything nowadays, and one does not need brand new furniture for a wedding. Anything new will do.
"As long as you don't mind throwing it away, the commune school originally had another set of furniture, some newer ones, but I was too lazy to move it back, so I gave it to another teacher."
"It's good that you don't mind giving it up."
After arranging things here, Gu Qinghuan went to Lin Shengnan and Zhu Chunlin's home again.
Her son was crawling very fast on the ground. As soon as he entered the door, Gu Qinghuan was hugged by the little guy around his legs. He laughed, as if to say, look, what did I catch? A beautiful aunt.
Lin Shengnan was mending clothes and quickly put down the basket when she saw her come in.
"Why are you here? How's your review going? Are you on track?" She knew that Gu Qinghuan studied hard all day, never leaving the house or putting down his books.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Gu Qinghuan picked up the boy on the ground, not caring about the mud all over him.
"Say goodbye? Are you leaving?" Lin Shengnan asked in surprise.
"Well, my mother and my father have been rehabilitated, so I am going back to Beijing with them this time. I'm afraid we may hardly see each other again in the future."
"Congratulations, all good things must come to an end. Let's keep in touch in the future. Don't forget to write to me." Lin Shengnan was also happy for her.
She knew that Gu Qinghuan had suffered a lot because of her mother's identity, and now that they were able to redress their wrongdoings, she was also happy for her.
Of course she was reluctant, but she hoped that everything was going well for her friends.
"You, Old Zhu, have to work hard too. This is just the beginning of a great leap forward. If you can get into college, you can bring your child back to the city.
I have some of my own study notes and materials here. When I leave, I will leave them to you, Lao Zhu. Although they may not be helpful, they are my little token of my appreciation. "
In fact, those study materials were specially compiled by Gu Qinghuan, covering all kinds of knowledge points and contents. He asked them to review the materials carefully. Even if they did well in the exam, they would have no problem getting into an ordinary university.
Gu Qinghuan also gave these materials to Lin Xiaomeng as a token of their goodwill. Although their relationship was tense at first, Lin Xiaomeng finally pulled herself back from the brink. Losing the Fountain of Fortune could be considered as something he owed her, so this time he would just pay her back.
There is also Jiang Xue. She has always wanted to go back to the city. She is full of energy and is now living a good life with Hao Zhigao.
She also gave her some information, and whether it succeeded or not depended on herself.
Of course, she also sent it to her own brother Gu Lanting.
She can't control other people.
"I dream of passing the exam, even if it means going to the provincial capital. I want to pass the exam and return to our southern region, where I will be assigned a job when the time comes.
Thank you for your information." Lin Shengnan didn't know how strong Gu Qinghuan's information was at that time, so she thanked him politely.
It was not until after the college entrance examination that they realized the value of this information and felt that they were worthy of being born into a scholarly family.
Gu Qinghuan was teasing the child while chatting with her casually.
Children are the most fun at this time. They don’t understand anything and will laugh when they are teased.
"You love children so much and you know how to educate them, why don't you hurry up and have a baby with that one of your family?" Lin Shengnan joked while mending clothes.
"No, I still want to go to college. Let's talk about it after I graduate. There's no rush." I don't have the conditions to raise a child now.
"Well, your husband wants to hold you in his heart. He probably won't say anything even if you don't have children, let alone graduate from college."
Gu Qinghuan smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, I thought your family didn't need any furniture, so I gave all the furniture in my house to Sister Fengqin. But my family still has a lot of food, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden have not been picked yet, so we can still eat another crop.
The grain includes more than 100 kilograms of cornmeal, 30 kilograms of white flour, 30 kilograms of brown rice, and some other miscellaneous noodles.
I'll leave all these things to you. As for the kitchen utensils, you can choose what you need and give them to whoever needs them. "
Gu Qinghuan also thought carefully and considered everyone's needs before speaking.
Lin Shengnan said embarrassedly, "With so much food, I can't afford to move it. I'll give you some money to exchange."
"I know you're not short of money now, but raising a child requires money everywhere. You and your wife are preparing to take the college entrance examination. If you pass the exam, it means you may not have any income for several years. There's no harm in saving more money.
These are my last gifts.”
In fact, Gu Qinghuan had already packed up all the food for Datou, so he left these foods behind for others to see so as to avoid suspicion.
Lin Shengnan burst into tears when she was moved.
Even her parents and parents-in-law don't think about them this much. They always want to get things from them. Unlike her friend Gu Qinghuan, she always considers and pays for them.
From the time she married Zhu Chunlin and had children, to now, she has lost count of how much help she has received from Gu Qinghuan, and she will never be able to repay him in her lifetime.
It is rare to find a true friend in life.
"Qing Huan, thank you. You are the greatest benefactor in my life."
"What nonsense! I hope you will have help from noble people in the future and everything will go well."
The two good friends said goodbye solemnly.
