Ye Liuqing did not go to the village chief's house.
At this point, Ye Liuqing felt that Ye Guozhu might not be at home.
As for where he went?
Ye Liuqing felt that if it was not on the mountain, then it should be on the way to the mountain, or at the carpenter's house in the village.
The night before yesterday, Ye Liuqing talked to Ye Guozhu about making oak barrels.
It is impossible to make an oak barrel so quickly in just one day.
Ye Liuqing first went to Ye Laowu's house.
Ye Laowu is the only person in Yejia Village who knows how to make wooden barrels.
The wooden barrel he made was very strong and would not leak.
When he arrived outside the courtyard wall of Ye Laowu's house, Ye Liuqing heard Ye Guozhu's powerful voice.
The gate was not closed.
When Ye Liuqing walked in, he saw Ye Guozhu holding the wooden barrel made by Ye Laowu and looking at it.
"Old Five! Are you sure your bucket won't leak?"
"Why do I look a little worried?"
"And this lid, make sure it doesn't leak!"
Ye Laowu continued to plane the oak in his hand with the planer, and had no intention of paying any attention to Ye Guozhu.
No one responded to Ye Guozhu, but Ye Guozhu was not angry at all.
He put down one barrel and picked up another, examining it more closely.
"Uncle Village Chief."
Ye Guozhu looked up and saw Ye Liuqing, and a look of joy immediately flashed across his face.
"Qing girl, are you back from He'an County?"
"I'm back and I have good news for you."
Ye Liuqing's words made Ye Guozhu put down the oak barrel in his hand.
"What good news?"
"Didn't I make some gift boxes and give them to the leaders of the steel and textile factories? They all liked them very much and ordered another 110 gift boxes from Yejia Village."
Ye Liuqing quickly told Ye Guozhu about this good news.
After hearing this, Ye Guozhu couldn't stop smiling like an old chrysanthemum.
"real?"
“It’s a must!”
Ye Liuqing nodded.
"Wait, how much stock do we have left? When will we need it? Should we ask the villagers to work overtime?"
After being happy, Ye Guozhu became anxious again.
"No, I have to go and see for myself."
"No thanks, Village Chief."
Ye Liuqing stopped Ye Guozhu.
"I've already calculated it. We still have a hundred gift boxes, ten short."
"I went home last night and told my dad and my second brother about this, and they are already doing it."
Ye Guozhu was still a little worried.
"Come on, let's go to your house and take a look."
"The higher-ups want this gift box, maybe it's for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we all have to hurry up and order it."
"These ten gift boxes took two or three days to make. I'm afraid it's a bit rushed!"
"It's better to find some people to help."
Ye Liuqing followed behind Ye Guozhu.
"Uncle Village Chief, you have the final say."
As for the oak barrel, there is plenty of time, so we can talk about it later.
When Ye Guozhu arrived at Ye Liuqing's house, he immediately threw himself into the bamboo pile and started discussing with Ye Dagang.
Ye Liuqing said nothing and just waited for them to discuss the arrangements.
Ye Liuqing took over the conversation only after Ye Guozhu and Ye Dagang had discussed it.
"Uncle Village Chief, these gift boxes can be sold because our bamboo jars are well made."
"In the future, there will definitely be more businesses coming to our village."
Ye Liuqing's words were strongly agreed by Ye Guozhu.
After all, Ye Guozhu had never dared to imagine making money like this before.
Ye Guozhu believed everything Ye Liuqing said without a doubt.
"Qing girl, do you have something else to tell me today?"
Ye Liuqing gave Ye Guozhu a thumbs up and said, "As expected of the village chief, you saw it right away."
"Of course." Ye Guozhu raised his head. "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Ye Liuqing was waiting for Ye Guozhu to say this.
"I want to install a telephone in our village."
What?
Install a telephone?
Ye Guozhu staggered, lost his balance, and almost fell off the chair.
Fortunately, Ye Liuqing was quick-witted and helped Ye Guozhu hold on to the chair, otherwise, Ye Guozhu's old bones would have fallen head over heels.
Ye Guozhu was still in shock. He patted his chest, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then spoke.
"Qing girl, it's really better if you don't say anything, but once you open your mouth you scare people!"
Ye Liuqing smiled.
"Village Chief, only if you dare to think and imagine can it come true!"
Ye Guozhu took another long drag on his cigarette. "Girl, you're thinking too far ahead. I, your village chief, have lived most of my life and never dared to think about this."
"Now, don't I ask you to think about it?" Ye Liuqing smiled.
"We can use the money from selling gift boxes to pay for installing the phone."
Ye Guozhu puffed on the tobacco he rolled himself without saying a word.
Ye Liuqing didn't urge him and just sat there waiting.
After a minute or two, Ye Guozhu finally spoke.
"Qing girl, when will you join the army?"
Ye Liuqing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.
The military region where Ji Yanchuan is currently located, the North China Military Region, will move to a new location at the end of the year.
During this period, Ji Yanchuan did not mention the matter of joining the army because of limited conditions.
Originally according to Ji Yanchuan's rank, Ye Liuqing met the requirements to join the army.
However, Ji Yanchuan had never thought that he would get married so soon, so he gave the family housing allocated to him by the army to other comrades who needed it more.
Therefore, Ye Liuqing will stay in Yejia Village until the New Year.
