Yu Sui read the letter from beginning to end three times before taking out the photo from the envelope and looking at it.
The photo is in black and white, but you can still feel the vast sky and clouds that day. The birch forest background also looks very artistic. Yu Sui is wearing that pink floral dress, with two braids on her shoulders, and her smile is as beautiful as a spring flower.
The other one is a photo of Yu Sui and Xia Linsheng.
Since it was Han Duomi who was taking the photo, Yu Sui didn't dare to be too casual and just moved closer to Xia Linsheng.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but now looking at the photos I realize that Xia Linsheng's whole posture is very close to Yu Sui. His smile is silly and happy, and I can feel the happiness in his heart.
Yu Sui looked at the person in the photo and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
This seventy-year-old relationship is really slow, but also very pure.
Makes people happy.
Yu Sui looked at the photos several times, and her heart was filled with joy. She couldn't help but open the door and show the photos to Sun Yuying and the others.
Sun Yuying was also full of praise: "Oh, they look so well-matched! I said Xia Lin was a good-looking man, look at this head... Oh, something's wrong, why does Xia Lin look so thin? He wasn't this thin when he was at home."
Yu Haichao also said, "Yes, Shang Xiao looked quite strong, but this time he seems to be ill. Sui, are you being ignorant and always ordering him around over there?"
Yu Sui didn't dare to say that Xia Linsheng was injured and had to rest for three months before he recovered. She could only bite the bullet and say, "That's not the case, Dad. Their army just happened to recruit soldiers for training, so they lost weight."
Sun Yuying: "Really? He's already a company commander, and he still has to train like this? Being a soldier is so hard. Why don't you tell him to quit if he can't do it? This kid is so skinny, it makes me feel so bad just looking at him."
Yu Haichao: "Indeed, he's just like my own child. It makes me sad. Sui, please send him two bottles of malted milk."
Yu Sui thought that even a hundred bottles of malted milk wouldn't be enough to save Xia Linsheng from such a serious injury. But in order not to worry the two old men, Yu Sui waved her hand and said, "Oh, Dad, stop talking nonsense. I went to see, and the border guards are all so thin."
I had been listening silently to Yu Hemiao saying, "Second sister, how about I kill one of the two pigs I raised and make some salted pork to send to him?"
Yu Sui was really at a loss for words: "Sister, you're really amazing! Didn't you say you'd raise the pig until it was half-decade old before selling it? Why are you killing it now and feeding it to Xia Lin?"
"They've been so good to us, so we should be nicer to them."
"Why is he so kind to us?"
"He also liked the fact that you bought all those nice clothes for Lanlan and that chair for Guoguo!"
"I... that's my decision, sis. No need, really."
Yu Sui and her family declined the kindness, but when she returned to the room, she told Xia Linsheng her family's intentions.
She discovered that Xia Linsheng worked very hard, but he longed for family life very much. During the time when Yu Sui was recuperating, Xia Linsheng was very happy to listen whenever she talked about family matters. He also always said that the atmosphere at home had changed since his biological mother passed away, and his stepmother was always sarcastic.
Fortunately, he was no longer a child at that time and went out to join the army very early, so he did not suffer too much from his stepmother. Otherwise, who knows how much he would have endured.
Yu Sui deliberately wrote about the family affairs in a very light-hearted manner, and also told him that Zhang Caifeng had been released, so that he could rest assured.
After falling asleep with the written letter in her arms, Yu Sui went to the brigade headquarters the next day and handed all the money she had collected to the brigade secretary: "I've successfully completed the task. Secretary, you must also pay my sister and the others according to our agreement."
Secretary Zou looked at the bill and the pile of money and asked, "You're arriving so soon?"
Yu Sui: "What do you mean by 'all at once'? I've been talking my mouth off, and I even agreed to let my sister help them for a month before they'll pay her."
"Anyway, you're amazing for getting the money. Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll pay them all their wages, and the rest will be handed over to the production team."
"Okay, then I'll go tell my sister to come and collect the money."
Yu Sui was about to leave when Secretary Zou quickly stopped her:
"Don't go yet. I need to discuss something with you. Can you think of a way to keep Zhang Caifeng as team leader? Look at how your team is doing. Everything is a step behind the other production teams. In this weather, other production teams have already started harvesting cotton, but your team is still topping the cotton. Yu Liantao is strong, but his organizational skills are terrible!"
"No, no, no." Yu Sui almost broke her hand.
"You'd better not make things difficult for Zhang Caifeng. She's suffered so much for the production team. Will she jump into this fire pit again? Forget it. I think no matter how hard the production team tries, it's just like this. The whole village won't starve to death, but they won't have enough to eat. No matter what, they won't have enough to eat. If the secretary really wants to change the current situation, he should think of another way."
Secretary Zou spread his hands and said, "What can I do?"
"You can open a brigade commune and set up a factory!"
"Me? I..." Secretary Zou, who always had a leadership demeanor, paused. He scratched his head vigorously, and finally looked at Yu Sui with a flattering expression:
"Hey, Xiao Yuzhi, I'm not afraid of things in agriculture, but as for industry... what kind of business should we run if we set up a cooperative or a factory? I have no idea what to do with it! I heard that you came up with the idea for that food factory. How about you come up with one for me?"
This was the first time Yu Sui had seen the secretary with such a flattering expression.
Yu Sui was still very willing to help everyone get rich together, so she expressed her thoughts:
"If the brigade were to set up a factory, to solve the problem of surplus labor, I think it would be best to set up either a garment factory or a food processing factory. Both of these require a lot of people, and only then can we solve the problem of too many people and too little food in our rural areas."
The secretary curled his lips and said, "Don't mention the words 'food processing plant' anymore. Aren't you scared enough about the rat poison incident?"
Yu Sui: "Then you can open a garment factory. There's no way a rat poison incident would happen in a garment factory. Men and women, young and old, can all work there, and it'll provide a large workforce."
The secretary was very interested: "What should we do?"
"Buy sewing machines, hire people, make clothes, and then go out and sell them to department stores!"
"You said it's quite easy, how about you become the factory manager?"
"I'm fine with being the factory manager, but I want 200 yuan a month. Will you give it to me?"
Secretary Zou stood up and said, "What? Two hundred yuan a month? Holy shit, how did you come up with that? Is there anyone in this world who earns two hundred yuan?"
"My secretary, senior engineers start at two hundred yuan."
“You’re not a senior engineer.”
"Secretary, you've killed the conversation."
