"Hmm, I’ll call him tomorrow." Guodong was also quite happy. Truth be told, having Jiang Xinyu here made him feel at ease.
Shi Jing was very happy to know that Jing Chu and the others would be staying at ho. There were so many people at ho.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Qiu’e’s cooking skills still needed improvent, but they put up with breakfast.
Zhang Qiu’e was very nervous. She knew her skills were lacking after being here for a few days, and she was afraid of being sent back.
Old Yang didn’t ntion it, so Jiang Xinyu wouldn’t bring it up either.
The two children at ho were already tiring enough for Du Fengying, and once Zhao Xiaoli had her baby, she worried there wouldn’t be enough care. One more person ans one more pair of hands.
After breakfast, Old Yang drove, Wei Kaiyun sat in the front passenger seat, and the remaining three sat in the back.
They went straight to Wang Shulin’s ho. Wang Shulin cheerfully gave his stamp of approval.
"Mr. Wei, I’m counting on you for the tractor issue. I’m really out of options and very anxious."
"No problem, I’ll call the county today, but I can’t guarantee the outco."
"Even if it doesn’t work out, I’ll accept it. Old Yang, you guys are moving over there too, so this house will be empty."
"Let it sit empty for now. Maybe it’ll be useful in the future."
"Alright, I’ll frequently co by and check on it."
"Yeah, thanks. I’ll co over to get things tomorrow, and we’ll chat then."
After getting back into the car, Guodong said, "Uncle Wei, thank you."
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "It’s nothing. As long as you’re happy."
Both of them understood that the reason Wei Kaiyun was helping was because of Jiang Xinyu, but they were already very satisfied.
Arriving at the county, Wei Kaiyun accompanied them into the educated youth office.
Lantian looked up at the group entering, imdiately recognizing Wei Kaiyun.
"Comrade."
Wei Kaiyun frowned slightly looking at Lantian.
"Comrade, we were in the sa car when we went to the countryside."
Wei Kaiyun still couldn’t recall.
Lantian felt very awkward as the other person couldn’t rember at all.
Guodong took out the applications for the three of them and handed them to Lantian. "Comrade, we need to transfer relationships from Jin Family Village to Li Family Village; please help us with the process."
Lantian took them and glanced over, "Actually, there are no requirents for transferring relationships like this. It’s neither permitted nor disallowed."
Guodong smiled and said, "Then I’ll trouble you, comrade."
"Please wait a mont, I can’t make the decision. I’ll go in and check."
With the three applications in hand, Lantian’s supervisor took a look, "Just process it. Soone’s letting them go, and soone’s willing to receive them. We just need to make a record in their files."
"Yes, supervisor."
Lantian ca out with a smile, "The leaders agreed. I’ll stamp it, and we’ll make the necessary file changes."
"Thank you so much, comrade."
Lantian smiled; actually, the process was quite simple. It was completed in ten minutes, and the three of them also received their allowance for the past two months.
After thanking Lantian again, the group left. Lantian watched Wei Kaiyun’s departing figure, shaking his head as Wei didn’t even spare him a glance.
He resolved to just live well with his son, as he had no desire to leave anymore. Here, he had work, allowances, and the company of his child.
She had beco very peaceful now and no longer had the hostility of the past.
"I’m going to the post office. What about you?" Wei Kaiyun asked.
"Uncle Wei, we also need to call my dad."
"Alright, let’s go together."
At the post office, Wei Kaiyun let the two of them call Lv Beiguang first.
Jing Chu was very excited to dial her dad’s number. She had been to the county several tis but didn’t dare to call, fearing she’d get hosick.
Lv Beiguang was pleasantly surprised to receive the call.
"Jing Chu, is sothing the matter?" His excitent was quickly followed by worry.
"Dad, don’t worry. Uncle Wei and Uncle Yang ca with us. We three have settled in Li Family Village. We’ll be near Aunt Jiang from now on."
"Haha, that’s great. How’s your Aunt Jiang doing? Did she receive my letter?"
"She did, and Aunt Jiang wrote back to you."
"With you two by her side, I’m relieved."
"Dad, I miss you."
"I miss you too. Take care, your dad is saving up leave ti, maybe I can co and accompany you during New Year next year."
"Dad, take it easy."
"I know, I don’t do manual labor. Don’t worry about . Yesterday, we went to the seaside and brought back a lot of good stuff. I was thinking of sending it over to you, but now I’ll just send it directly to your Aunt Jiang."
With tears in her eyes, Jing Chu said, "Dad, don’t hold back from eating."
"I know, it’s just in the dorm now, eating at the canteen every day."
Jing Chu noticed the operator looking, so she hurriedly passed the phone to her brother.
"Dad, it’s Guodong. We’re doing great, don’t worry."
"Good, I’m relieved."
"Dad, I’ll hang up now, but I’ll write to you."
Guodong hung up the phone. They had just spent over three yuan, but finally hearing their loved one’s voice, it was worth the expense.
Wei Kaiyun handed over a phone number, and it connected shortly after.
Things were very smooth on this end, too. The factory director said they could pick up the tractor now.
Wei Kaiyun exchanged a few words with a smile, hung up the phone, and considered this as having repaid Wang Shulin’s favor.
"Let’s drop by the supply and marketing cooperative, buy what we can."
Everyone, of course, agreed, so the five of them drove to the cooperative.
In the end, they only bought toilet paper, candles, and two kilograms each of brown sugar and ginger.
They went to the grain station and bought so white flour, then headed ho. It was already past ten. After so deliberation, they decided to go straight ho for lunch, and in the afternoon, they’d drive the tractor to fetch grain and luggage.
When Jiang Xinyu ca ho after class, Zhang Qiu’e and Du Fengying were busy cooking. Zhang Qiu’e was earnestly learning how to cook from Du Fengying.
"I was the sa at first. It’s just that we aren’t used to having so many good things. You’ll get used to it slowly."
"Xiao Jiang, will Xiao Wei and the others be back for lunch today?"
"I’m not sure either, but let’s prepare food for them anyway."
Han Xiangjun also wandered in. He was supposed to be up the mountain today, but he was bored being the only one at ho.
"Xiao Jiang, what are we having for lunch? I haven’t had enough of those buns with three fillings."
"We’re having dumplings with three fillings for dinner, and two-color stead buns for lunch."
"Xiao Jiang, now that Xiao Wei isn’t ho, the als are a bit lacking."
Jiang Xinyu laughed, "Old Han, tell in advance what you want to eat. I’m not stingy." She knew Han Xiangjun didn’t an it. He was just making conversation.
