Guodong was happy; the two of them liked each other and today they made it clear.
Actually, Guodong was a bit tipsy; otherwise, he might not have had the courage to speak up.
Since they clarified things, the feeling was different now. They walked side by side, getting closer and closer, until their hands linked together.
Both were extrely excited, as it was their first interaction with soone of the opposite sex outside of family.
Guodong tightly held the hand of the girl he liked, they didn’t know what to say now.
Walking slower and slower, "Xue’er, I will definitely be good to you, definitely."
"Mm."
"Xue’er, would you be willing to go back with in the future?"
After Guodong asked, they both fell silent; it’s so far away, if they were really together, either Guodong stays or Li Xue goes back with him.
"I am willing, my dad has soone to take care of him. I can be at ease."
Guodong was worried Li Xue would refuse, so this was a pleasantly surprising answer.
"Xue’er, I don’t know how long until I have to leave, but Aunt Jiang told to study well, and aim for university in the future. I think there will definitely have this opportunity; we’ll work hard together, and go to university together.
What I just said about you going back with might not happen.
If we really have the chance for university, we must go together, returning wouldn’t be realistic then."
"I will definitely study hard, I’ll definitely be with you."
"Great, let’s make a promise to go together."
The road wasn’t long, even if they dawdled, there would co a point when they had to part. Reluctantly, Guodong let go of Li Xue’s hand, watching the girl he liked walk into the yard. As she turned to close the door, he waved with a smile until the gate closed, then he turned and left, smiling.
Along the way, his steps felt much lighter. Is there anything more blissful than the girl you like also liking you back?
Returning ho, none noticed the change in Guodong.
That night he lay in bed, pondering over the matter and felt the elders should be inford, mainly for fairness to Li Xue.
Early the next morning, Li Yungui ca over. Today he had to go to the city with Wei Kaiyun.
"Xiao Wei, they caught two small fish last night, so we need to get two fish from your place."
"No problem, it’s already prepared, frozen last night, bringing it along."
The three got in the car, with Old Yang driving, heading to the pesticide factory, picking up a box of herbicide and another of insecticide.
The agriculture office needs to test both for approval.
"I wonder when we’ll get the results?"
Old Yang drove, "I’ll find a way, see if we can get results today."
"No need for experints?"
Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang laughed, and Li Yungui realized he asked a foolish question.
"Let’s deliver the fish first, it’s warm in the car, might thaw."
"Xiao Wei, these fish are pretty big."
"Master Shang made the net with big holes, small fish can’t be caught, so they’re all big fish."
Passing through the county, Li Yungui bought a few packs of cigarettes, only Old Yang smoked, but quit after marriage.
Old Yang drove fast, they reached the city, went directly to Li Yunqiao’s place, Li Yungui carried the fish in, the other two stayed in the car as it wasn’t appropriate with only won at ho.
"Sister-in-law, these are the fish Xiao Wei caught yesterday, brought you two, I’ve got things to do, so won’t stay."
"Co back for lunch?"
"No, here for business."
Lu Fengzhen escorted Li Yungui out, then Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang got off, exchanged greetings before leaving.
They didn’t go to Li Yunqiao imdiately, but headed to the agriculture office.
Old Yang didn’t join them, went to find soone else.
Actually, their Li Family Village project received attention from leaders; even without preparation, they wouldn’t face difficulty.
Current testing equipnt isn’t advanced, but basic tests can be done.
Wei Kaiyun and Li Yungui waited until noon, results weren’t out.
With food tickets, they went to the cafeteria.
Liang Caifeng was in deep trouble lately, her man is under investigation. Frankly, she doesn’t know what to do.
At lunch she saw Li Yungui at the cafeteria. Was surprised, why did Li Yunqiao’s brother co?
She didn’t think to speak to him; never thought well of them before, relations were bad, now even more estranged. Best not get involved.
Li Yungui noticed Liang Caifeng, surprised at the change in his forr sister-in-law’s appearance. Though not pretty before, she didn’t look this frightening.
Her cheeks sunken, seems much older.
"Village Chief Li, what’s wrong?" Wei Kaiyun asked, seeing Li Yungui paused eating.
"Nothing, let’s eat."
Liang Caifeng sat distant from them.
"Oh, Mr. Liang, having lunch."
Liang Caifeng kept her head down, she’s been mocked endlessly at work.
"Your taste worsened; found that man now under investigation. Really pitiable."
"No need to gloat, he’s only under investigation, not convicted yet, you’re happy too early."
"Hmph, isn’t it inevitable?"
"Even if guilty, it’s his business, not ours."
Li Yungui understood, Liang Caifeng’s man made a mistake.
Ah! People must restrain themselves; no one can live whimsically, responsibility must be taken.
After eating, they continued to wait.
At three in the afternoon, results ca, nothing noticeable on report - acceptable.
They took the report to the director, getting signatures, needed higher-ups for endorsent, gaining sale authorization.
The director was straightforward, city supports the project, wouldn’t hinder.
Hurriedly, they went to find the top leader.
"I support you, but treat it as an experintal phase, must clarify hazards during sales."
"Yes, understood. Last year our village experinted; if issues, would’ve shown then."
