"Yun Zhiqing, what do you mean?" Liu Defu was a little confused.
"Team leader, there will be more and more orders for sweet potato vermicelli in the future. How many sweet potatoes can our Hongqi Brigade grow alone? We could still buy sweet potatoes from other brigades last year, but if Hongqi Brigade makes money by selling sweet potato vermicelli in the future, and they become jealous of our profits, will they still be willing to sell sweet potatoes to us?" Yun Yan pointed out the problem.
The captain suddenly realized that he had forgotten such an important thing. How could he make sweet potato vermicelli without sweet potatoes?
"Yun Zhiqing, what you said is very important. After the brigade starts working in a couple of days, I will discuss with several other village cadres how to solve the sweet potato problem."
The team leader asked Yunyan to stay at home for lunch. After the meal, Yunyan chatted with Huzi for a while and then went home.
For the next two days, Yunyan stayed at home drawing clothing designs and didn't even leave the house.
At the educated youth center, Qian Qian pestered Xu Weiguo and asked him to ride his bicycle and take her to the post office in the county town to send a telegram.
"Weiguo, didn't you say that you would take me with you to send a telegram to your parents when the post office opens?" Qian Qian said in an unhappy tone.
"Qian Qian, there's no need to be so anxious even if you want to send a telegram. Just wait for two more days." Xu Weiguo said perfunctorily.
The team will start work in two days. Who knows what kind of reasons he will find to refuse me then.
"Xu Weiguo, did you never intend to tell your family about our affairs from the beginning?" Qian Qian questioned him angrily.
Ever since I've been with Xu Weiguo, I've been cooking for him and Zhou Yuanchao every day, and doing his laundry. If he'd intended to have me be his free babysitter in the name of dating from the beginning, I'd definitely make him pay the price.
Seeing that she was angry, Xu Weiguo immediately said, "Qian Qian, it's just a matter of sending a telegram. Let's go to the post office now and tell my parents about us in front of you."
Hearing him say this, Qian Qian immediately turned from anger to joy and pulled him to go ride a bicycle.
Xu Weiguo took her to the post office and sent a telegram to his parents in Beijing in front of her, telling them that he and Qian Qian were in a relationship.
As soon as they left the post office, Qian Qian took his hand and said, "Weiguo, I'm really happy that you can tell your family about us."
"Silly girl, as long as you are happy, don't ever doubt my sincerity towards you again." Xu Weiguo said.
"Well, from now on, no matter what anyone says, I won't doubt you." Qian Qian looked at him happily and said.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Weiguo took her to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.
On the other side, in Beijing, the Xu family was in chaos after receiving a telegram from Xu Weiguo.
"Xiangxiang, come and sit here with your aunt. You haven't been here for a while, and your aunt misses you." Mother Xu said with a smile on her face, holding a young girl.
"Auntie, I'm just too busy recently, so I didn't come to see you. I hope you won't be angry." Xi Xiang explained.
"How could that be? You young people have your own circles. As long as you can come to see me occasionally, auntie will be very happy."
"Auntie, has Brother Weiguo written to you recently?" Xi Xiang asked shyly.
Looking at her expression, Xu's mother jokingly said, "I was wondering why you thought of coming to see me today. It turns out you were thinking about your brother Weiguo."
"Auntie, of course I came to see you, and I just wanted to ask about Brother Weiguo's news." Xi Xiang felt even more shy after her thoughts were exposed by Xu's mother.
"Xiangxiang, you don't have to feel embarrassed. Your aunt has treated you as her own daughter-in-law since you were a child. How could she not know what you are thinking?" Mother Xu looked at Xi Xiang with increasing satisfaction.
Xi Xiang was not only beautiful, but also came from a well-known family in Beijing. She was also the only granddaughter of the Xi family, so marrying her would be very beneficial to his family.
Just as Xu's mother was immersed in her sweet dream, the postman's voice came from outside.
"Mrs. Xu, there's a telegram for you. It's from your son."
When Xu's mother heard that the telegram was from her son, she immediately went out excitedly to get it.
After taking the telegram from the postman, the smile on Xu's mother's face froze immediately.
Her son had found a girlfriend in the countryside, a young educated youth. What would happen if Xi Xiang found out? Xu's mother immediately folded the telegram and put it in her pocket, then pretended nothing had happened and returned to the living room.
"Auntie, is there something urgent that Brother Weiguo sent you a telegram about?" Xi Xiang asked immediately when she saw her come in.
"It's nothing. It's just that this kid has been spending too much money recently. He spent all his money during the Chinese New Year. He sent a telegram asking me to send him some more money." Xu's mother found an excuse to perfunctorily answer her.
He absolutely could not let Xi Xiang know that his son had a girlfriend in the countryside, otherwise his family's future prosperity and wealth would be gone.
Xi Xiang looked at Xu's mother's face and guessed that she must be hiding something from her. She decided to keep quiet and wait until she had found out more about the telegram before making any plans.
"Auntie, please don't blame Brother Weiguo. He has little food and clothing in the countryside, so he will definitely spend more money." Xi Xiang said understandingly.
The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Xi Xiang left on the pretext that she had something to do. Xu's mother didn't keep her for long because of what her son had said in the telegram.
When Xi Xiang returned home, he immediately called his second brother and asked him to help him find out the content of the telegram that Xu's mother received today.
Xi Xiang's second brother worked at the post office, so checking a telegram was easy for him. Xi Xiang soon learned that Xu Weiguo was dating a female educated youth in the countryside, and she was so angry that she smashed several vases.
When Xi's mother heard the noise, she came out and saw her daughter throwing things. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed her.
"My little ancestor, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy again?" Xi's mother pulled her to sit on the sofa and asked softly.
When Xi Xiang heard her mother's question, she immediately threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Mom, Xu Weiguo is such a bully. He actually found an educated youth in the countryside as his girlfriend." Xi Xiang said while crying.
When Xi's mother heard that it was about Xu Weiguo, she immediately pulled Xi Xiang aside to ask her about the whole story.
Xi Xiang told Xi's mother the whole story, and Xi's mother was silent for a moment after listening.
"Xiangxiang, since Xu Weiguo already has someone he likes in the countryside, you should forget about him. With our family's status, there are many good men for you to choose from." Xi's mother patiently persuaded her daughter.
Xi Xiang was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "Mom, I don't want any other man, I just like Brother Weiguo. If I can't marry Brother Weiguo, then I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
