She could understand if a food factory contacted her, but a textile factory?
Anyway, you'll know once you go.
However, since Xiao Yuheng had just said she wanted to see a movie, she couldn't completely ignore him. "Aheng, let's go see a movie first, and then go to the city tomorrow."
Sure enough, one sentence made Xiao Yuheng feel sweet inside; he realized that he was indeed the most important person.
"It's alright, I'll go to the city with you. There will be plenty of opportunities to see a movie."
Since he had said so, Gu An'an naturally wouldn't insist on watching the movie. It wasn't that she didn't like watching movies with Xiao Yuheng; it was just that there weren't many movies from that era, and she had already seen the classic ones.
Gu An'an was very satisfied with the man's cooperation. "Okay, let's go take a look together. I'm a little scared without you by my side."
"Okay, I'll go with you. It'll be more convenient to leave from the city after we finish what we're doing."
Seeing the worthless smile on his nephew's face, the village chief didn't know what to say.
Why would An'an be afraid? She's the kind of woman who single-handedly led a team to Haishi to help secure numerous orders. What's there to be afraid of at a local food factory?
However, he knew that young people in a new relationship definitely wanted to be together all the time, so he wasn't so tactless as to expose the truth.
"Okay, I'm relieved to have Ah Heng with you. Here's a letter of introduction. If you can't come back in time, it's fine to stay there for one night."
He didn't mean for Xiao Yuheng to take advantage of An'an at all. These days, the checks are strict, and although they are dating, they can't share a room until they get married.
Moreover, he believed that Xiao Yuheng would never do something like bullying a young girl before marriage.
The two went back to the Xiao family home. Xiao's parents were both at work. After parking the bicycle, Xiao Yuheng went back to his room and soon came out with a stack of things.
"This is my savings over the years, you can keep it."
Gu An'an looked at the money in her passbook and found that she had more than 8,000 yuan.
"Why don't you keep it yourself?"
In the 1980s, the emergence of a household with ten thousand yuan was enough to shock the surrounding villages. Not to mention that it is 1974 now, so the meaning of more than eight thousand yuan is self-evident.
They had only just started talking, so it seemed a little awkward for them to accept so much money from the other party.
But Xiao Yuheng interpreted her refusal differently. "An'an, do you think it's too little? I have a savings account at the military base, but it only has a little over a thousand yuan. I'll send you my monthly salary from now on..."
Gu An'an knew, of course, that he truly hadn't been hiding anything. "How do you have so much money?"
"The army provides food and lodging, and my family doesn't ask for my money, so I basically have no expenses. In addition to my basic salary, there are also rewards for completing special missions, so I saved up without even realizing it."
He spoke so casually, but he probably knew without even thinking what the reward task would be like. Gu An'an felt the deposit slip in her hand was even more heavy.
"You won't regret entrusting it to me for safekeeping?"
Xiao Yuheng immediately shook his head, "It's not just about entrusting it to you for safekeeping. A man earns money to spend on his wife. Although we're not married yet, I'm willing to let you spend it."
With his simple-mindedness, he'd regret it if he encountered someone who was only after money.
"So I really spent it?"
"You spend it."
Seeing that Gu An'an was willing to accept it, Xiao Yuheng immediately smiled as bright as a flower.
Before meeting Gu An'an, he had never thought about marriage. He even thought that if he didn't get married or have children, he would give the money to his parents and himself to support them in their old age.
Little did he know that God would be so kind to him.
“Don’t work so hard in the future. Just do enough work. You don’t need to get full work points every day. Also, there’s the matter of selling goods in the village. If you’re tired, just stop working.”
Gu An'an chuckled, "The village pays me twenty yuan a month; if I don't do this job, I won't get any money."
"If you're gone, you're gone. I can support you."
While speaking, Xiao Yuheng left a note for his parents before locking the door and leaving.
"Aheng, you're really back? I didn't believe Xiaoqiu when she said she ran into you at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Aunt Liang."
Xiao Yuheng greeted her and was about to leave when Liang Qiu's incident nearly made An'an angry. If Aunt Liang said anything more outrageous, would he still want her as his girlfriend?
"Aheng, don't go! This girl next to you looks unfamiliar. Whose daughter is she?"
Liang's mother already had a suspicion, and seeing Gu An'an's pretty face made her even more disheartened.
No wonder her daughter complained that she hadn't given birth to a good child for her; compared to this young lady, her own daughter was indeed far inferior in appearance.
However, you can't live a good life just by looking good.
"This is my girlfriend, Gu An'an."
"An'an, this is Aunt Liang, our neighbor."
Gu An'an smiled, completely concealing her true thoughts, "Hello, Aunt Liang."
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, so Liang's mother could not say anything harsh and could only watch the two leave together.
Sigh! It seems there's really no hope for my daughter.
Didn't you see the look in that Xiao family kid's eyes? He's absolutely smitten.
Forget it, even without Butcher Zhang, we can still eat hairy pigs, right? She needs to find someone else for her daughter.
Once the person had walked away, Gu An'an said, "It seems that the girl yesterday was right. You two really are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since you were little."
Sensing the sourness in Gu An'an's voice, she asked, "An'an, are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous of you at all."
Xiao Yuheng smiled, finding Gu An'an's swearing quite adorable. "I've never liked playing with girls since I was little. You can ask my cousin about that."
Gu An'an certainly wouldn't ask the Wang brothers. Besides, who doesn't have neighbors? If every neighbor counts as a childhood sweetheart, then childhood sweethearts are worthless.
"I can't be bothered to ask."
The commune was supposed to send a car to take Gu An'an there, but Gu An'an refused, so the two of them took the bus by themselves.
Cars these days are really old and broken down halfway through the journey.
"This piece of junk will have to be replaced sooner or later."
Despite cursing, the driver still got out of the car as quickly as possible and started fiddling with the equipment.
Ten minutes or so passed, and the car still wouldn't start. By this time, the driver was more than just cursing.
Seeing this, Gu An'an and Xiao Yuheng got out of the car to check. After waiting for a while, they said in unison, "Master, have you checked the fuel injectors?"
"Fuel injectors? There really aren't any."
As they were talking, the mechanic started fiddling with the fuel injector and, sure enough, found it was clogged.
"No wonder I was wondering why it wouldn't start after checking everything; it was this thing causing the problem."
As the mechanic cleaned the fuel injectors, he thanked the two men, saying, "If it weren't for you two, I don't know how long this would have taken. You two aren't from a repair shop, are you?"
"You can tell where the problem is just by looking at it, you're much better than those people at the repair shop." "No, if you were from the repair shop, I would have seen you before. Besides, those people at the repair shop don't have your skills."
Gu An'an: ...People these days are so simple and honest; they're not at all reserved when praising someone.
