Chapter 120 Temporary
Huang Mingzhu looked at her father eagerly, impatient to know what those words meant.
The Huang and Xu families have been neighbors for many years, with close ties dating back to the grandfather's generation.
Her father and Xu's father were so compatible that they were practically sworn brothers, having made a pact before either of them had married.
In the future, the boys born under these families will become sworn brothers, and the boy and girl will be betrothed as children, making the two families one family.
As a result, her elder brother and Xu's elder brother became sworn brothers, and she and Xu Chang fell in love as both families had hoped.
What should have been a joyous occasion for both families was completely altered three years ago.
When natural disasters strike, every household runs out of food. In the countryside, people can still dig up tree roots and pick up leaves to fill their stomachs, but in the city, there is absolutely no way to do so.
Huang Daneng and his son Huang Zongbao had no choice but to take risks for their family, repeatedly trying their luck in the black market.
Thinking that there was always a way out, and that they were lucky enough to get ten pounds of broken rice, they never expected to step into Yan Bin's trap.
For Huang Mingzhu, the choice between her own happiness and the lives of both of them was a choice she had no other option but to make.
In order to force her to give up completely, Yan Bin devised a plan to force Xu Chang to marry someone else after the two quickly set a wedding date.
From that moment on, the two who had loved each other and pledged their lives to one another had no chance anymore.
Recalling this, Huang Mingzhu couldn't help but burst into tears. She thought Xu Chang had really left Gushi, but now she realized that things were not as she thought.
"father!"
"Ai."
Huang Daneng responded somewhat regretfully, only realizing he had misspoke in his haste when he met the disapproving looks from his wife and eldest son.
And this mouth of yours, how did it just spill out like that? I promised Xiao Chang…
its not right?
He then thought: Damn it, Yan Bin is already in jail, and my youngest daughter is going home to get a divorce anyway, so what's there to be afraid of!
……
Covering her face and weeping, Tang Tian ran straight out of the house. She had intended to go back to her grandparents' house, but her steps suddenly slowed down. She wiped her face vigorously and then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
To please her and to speed up the process of getting her pregnant, Qin Jianjun made the difficult decision to quit his single dormitory at the factory and rent a small courtyard not far from the factory.
Since they were going there specifically for Tang Tian, the courtyard was chosen to suit her preferences. It was not only a detached house with a kitchen and bathroom, but the price was also quite attractive.
Rent plus other monthly living expenses took up almost half of his salary, not to mention the small gifts he often bought for Tang Tian to eat out and to please her.
With a monthly salary of only twenty or thirty yuan, it was far from enough to live on. The more Qin Jianjun invested in her, the more determined he became to win her over.
Even if it's to tighten his belt and help his whole family rise to the top in one fell swoop, he still has to win them over.
The news he had just heard was not only unbelievable to Tang Tian, but it also felt like a bolt from the blue.
Without the Yan family and Yan Bin as her powerful backer, what is Tang Tian?
How could he be willing to accept that all his efforts had gone to waste?
Just when a burning anger was raging in his chest that he couldn't quell, this person delivered himself right to his doorstep.
Qin Jianjun stared at the woman crying her eyes out at the door, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He roughly grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room, not giving her a chance to speak.
What kind of drama unfolded at the Huang family's place, and how did Huang Mingzhu make up her mind to deliver the final blow to Yan Bin?
What kind of argument Qin Jianjun and Tang Tian had in their rented room, and how it escalated into a series of bizarre physical altercations, is something that outsiders have no way of knowing.
……
Su Ning, who refused Qiao Yuan's offer to return to the office for a rest, happened to bump into Director Liang, who seemed to have returned.
“Su Ning, it’s perfect that you came with me.”
Liang Shengnan, still holding the documents she hadn't had time to put down, hurriedly led her back to her office.
After briefly explaining the temporary tasks assigned to her and handing her the list, he felt relieved and rushed off to the chief engineer's office for a meeting.
After glancing at the task list in his hand and seeing that the production team he needed to coordinate with wasn't far away, Su Ning decided to go and return quickly.
After tidying up the clutter on the table, putting the list into his shoulder bag and slinging it over his shoulder, he quickly headed to the bus station.
In less than an hour, they arrived at Duyan Commune.
Duyan Commune is located in the Qingfeng Gorge, on the upper reaches of the Lishui River, where the two largest reservoirs in the ancient city are situated. Due to its geographical environment, there is not much farmland here, and the various production brigades under its jurisdiction can only rely on various forms of aquaculture.
Autumn is the season when crabs are plump and fish are tender. After more than a month of heavy rain, to prevent the reservoir from breaching its banks, preparations are underway for a second round of flood discharge.
This was also the second autumn aquatic product harvesting organized by each production brigade.
So as soon as Su Ning arrived, he immediately noticed that no matter where he went, the villagers were overflowing with joy, as if they were about to have another bumper harvest.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right moment. When she arrived, the reservoir had already been mostly drained, and the various production brigades were organizing their assemblies in the waters they were responsible for.
Not only young laborers, but almost every household in each brigade mobilized their entire workforce.
Those who were strong and healthy gathered to prepare for casting nets and catching fish, while the young and old chatted and laughed excitedly as they lined up in a long queue at a specific spot.
The fish that are retrieved need to be transported to the various cooperating units, and the rest will be distributed to the households in the team.
Of course, in addition to exchanging points, each family can also use money to buy more for social occasions or to smoke and keep for holidays.
Therefore, the annual fishing day in Duyan Commune is as lively as a major festival.
“I have to say it several times every time: all the elderly, children, women, and those who can’t swim, stand back and stay far away. I’m talking to you!”
Seeing this large-scale fishing activity for the first time, and just as he was getting into it, someone suddenly shouted something at him. Su Ning was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
"Which brigade are you from, girl? Why don't you listen to orders? I told you to back up, but you're just trying to jump forward!"
Once he understood what he was saying and realized that the person being lectured was himself, Su Ning, who knew right from wrong, didn't get angry and thanked him politely for his kindness. He then retreated to what he considered a safe zone and consciously moved closer to it.
"Uncle, is this a brigade? Where is the brigade commander?"
He looked her over carefully for a few moments and realized that she really didn't recognize him.
Looking at the unfamiliar face and the way the young man dressed, who resembled a newly arrived educated youth from the village, Qin Fen suddenly remembered something and pointed to himself, "That's me. Which factory are you from, young comrade?"
"Hello, Captain Qin from the Municipal Textile Factory. I'm Su Ning, here to handle the task coordination for this mission."
"Oh, it's Officer Su. Hello, hello."
Having received the notification earlier, Qin Fen revealed an expression that said, "Just as I expected," and with a smile, he led the person to the nearest salvage point.
Although it was a bit strange that Qin Jianjun, who was usually in charge of this matter and had gone from their team to work in a big factory, was not here this time, Qin Fen did not ask any questions or have any doubts.
After all, this task list with the red seal can't be faked, and besides, as long as the price remains the same, it doesn't matter who does it.
Instead of helping him get promoted, Qin Jianjun would rather push him down even further, even if it meant stepping on the line.
Therefore, he really didn't care about Qin Fen.
Having been on the mission for almost two or three months, visiting almost all the communes, big and small, in the surrounding area, Suning deeply understands the hardships faced by those at the bottom of society, especially the villagers.
Unlike Qin Jianjun and Hu Yong, who were cunning and always tried to get good results by lowering prices for tasks, she was different.
I won't say too much, but it's always a little higher than their expected price, and just right at the factory's mid-range price.
Aside from making her appear unremarkable in terms of task ability, the fact that the factory wasn't losing money and the villagers were happy was a win-win situation for her.
This time was no exception. After exchanging a few words with Captain Qin, the two turned the conversation to the mission.
"Wait a minute, Officer Su, what did you say was the price of fish per pound this time?"
Qin Fen waved his hand, interrupting her. He was so surprised that his pupils dilated and his expression became somewhat blank.
"Two cents a pound."
Are you sure it's two cents?
It wasn't until he nodded firmly that Qin Fen was so excited he didn't know what to do, his hands rubbing back and forth as if he wanted to rub off a layer of skin.
"Thank you, thank you, Secretary Su!"
In the past, the highest price Qin Jianjun ever offered was only 16 cents per pound.
Qin Fen didn't know how much power those in procurement actually had, but since she dared to say that, there was no reason for her to make fun of him.
