His eccentric and domineering behavior made Xiao Tanghai's blood pressure soar, and he felt so dizzy in the afternoon that he had to go home to rest.
After learning about this, the old lady was hosting a banquet to entertain the new factory director.
Qiao Qiqi was surprised to find that this person was a thirty-year-old young man with a buzz cut, dressed in all black. His features were not outstanding, but he exuded a sense of righteousness.
From the conversation, Qiao Qiqi learned that this person's grandfather was her grandmother's former boss, who had passed away a couple of years ago, but the two families had a very good relationship.
So this time, as soon as the old lady mentioned this matter, the other party came immediately without saying a word.
By the way, the new factory manager's name is Cao Shengli. He's divorced and a workaholic.
Life went on, and Cao Shengli never came to the Qin family again. Qin Baoguo personally relayed all the messages between the two sides.
Qiao Qiqi was still very busy. After having a meal with the Fang family, she finally told them that she was leaving.
Two months have passed since I arrived in Beijing. With the weather getting colder and colder, I guess the autumn harvest in the village is over.
Therefore, Qiao Qiqi has truly decided to go back this time.
The Fang family was very reluctant to part with her, but this time they did not stop her because they knew that Qiao Qiqi would definitely come back.
Three days later, Qiao Qiqi packed her bags again, and the old lady once again personally prepared for her journey and drove her all the way to the train station.
The old lady's health is getting better and better. Before Qiao Qiqi left, she left her a lot of apples and pears, which were stored in the storeroom and could last for more than half a month.
Since it was impossible to store that much water, and it would be a bit strange to store water specifically for the old lady, Qiao Qiqi did not insist.
The two said goodbye at the train station entrance. Qiao Qiqi looked at the crowd of people coming and going, and quickly waved for Aunt Zhou to take the old lady back. "I'll come back to see you after the New Year. You should go back now!"
The old lady was very reluctant to part, but she knew that they had to separate eventually. She suppressed her grief and turned to leave.
Qiao Qiqi watched as the old lady got into the car before turning around to find a seat.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a familiar person smiling at her. Qiao Qiqi walked up to her in surprise and asked, "Auntie, are you also going on a long trip?"
Fang Jingru stood up and placed the luggage from Qiao Qiqi's hands onto her own bag before saying, "I've taken a long leave from the newspaper and plan to go with you to visit your hometown. I've never been to Northeast China before, so I'm thinking of taking a trip there. You won't be unhappy to see me, will you?"
Qiao Qiqi was stunned by the sudden news and couldn't quite react.
Only after hearing Fang Jingru's last words did he quickly reply, "I'm overjoyed that you can come to my hometown! How could I not be happy? I'm absolutely thrilled!"
With Fang Jingru by her side, Qiao Qiqi was no longer lonely.
Because she had sent a telegram home before returning, the two of them immediately saw Zhang Qing and Lin Chunying sitting on an oxcart the day after they arrived in town.
Zhang Qing said that Wang Guihua had also come; she had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things and hadn't returned yet.
Just then, Wang Guihua returned in a hurry.
When Qin Huai decided to join the army, Qiao Qiqi sent him a telegram, so Wang Guihua knew that Qin Huai was going to join the army. Wang Guihua supported him wholeheartedly, as she knew that her son had wanted to join the army for a long time, so she naturally supported his decision.
But seeing Qiao Qiqi return alone, without Qin Huai by her side, Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel disappointed.
But she still tried her best to put on a smile. After Qiao Qiqi introduced Fang Jingru's identity, she looked at Fang Jingru's face, which was very similar to Qiao Qiqi's, and couldn't help but say to Lin Chunying, "Have you noticed that Miss Fang looks a lot like our Qiqi?"
After speaking, I waited a few seconds but received no response.
Wang Guihua looked to her side with curiosity and saw Lin Chunying frowning, seemingly lost in thought.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Guihua nudged her.
Lin Chunying snapped out of her reverie and met Wang Guihua's questioning gaze. She then realized that she had been lost in thought, so she immediately said, "Let's go home. Everyone come to my house for dinner tonight. When you get back, call Lao Qin. Qiqi is back, let's have some fun."
Wang Guihua had no problem with it; once she returned to the village, she went back to pick up her husband.
Qiao Qiqi then started cooking for Lin Chunying. Fang Jingru originally wanted to help, but Qiao Qiqi pushed her out of the kitchen, saying, "You are a guest. There's no reason for a guest to do things themselves. Go inside and rest. The food will be ready soon."
Fang Jingru smiled and said, "Do you and I need to be so polite? If you're being so polite, I'll feel embarrassed."
"Then after we finish eating, I'll take you back to my house. I won't stop you from helping me however you want. But while you're with my parents, you'll just have to wait and eat quietly, otherwise my mother will definitely feel embarrassed."
Lin Chunying chimed in, "Yes, you must be tired after traveling for two days. Come inside and rest!"
As they were talking, Wang Guihua brought Qin Baojun over.
With Wang Guihua joining the kitchen, there was really no room for a fourth person, so Fang Jingru had to give up the idea of helping.
Soon, the dishes were all cooked. The vegetables in the garden were almost all eaten up, except for the green beans that Lin Chunying planted late this year, so there were still two meals of green beans left.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the ingredients and made braised pork with a piece of pork belly that Lin Chunying had bought today. She also made an omelet and stewed potatoes with green beans. Homegrown vegetables taste so good; you can't find anything this delicious in Beijing.
