"Here's my business card with my contact details on it. It was very speculative to talk to Comrade Xu today, and if you need my help in the future, you can contact me. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Guo. Xu Wanning carefully put away the business card.

She took out a pen and paper from her satchel and wrote down the phone number of the brigade headquarters and the landline number of the Xu family.

"This is the phone number of our brigade headquarters and my home, one is where I went to the countryside, and the other is from Beijing. If Officer Guo has something to do with me, just call these two numbers, report my name, and you can contact me. ”

It was late at night, and the footsteps and frolicking of people could not be heard in the corridors.

Xu Wanning and Guo Haonan also consciously stopped talking.

Xu Wanning took out her toiletries, and after a simple wash, she fell asleep on her bed.

The next morning, she was woken up by the sound of a train's horn.

There was no longer Guo Haonan's figure on the other side, and on the table in front of her, there was a note with smooth handwriting.

"I got to the station first. We'll see you later. ”

Xu Wanning folded the note, put it together with yesterday's business card, and threw it into the space.

After a while, someone came across from her.

It was a girl dressed exquisitely and foreignly, she only glanced at Xu Wanning, and sat alone by the window.

Xu Wanning is not the kind of person who rushes up, she didn't say hello when she saw this, and continued to read the book in her hand.

Finally, at noon on the third day, she arrived at Jishi Railway Station.

Xu Wanning packed her bags and squeezed through the crowd to get off the train.

At the exit, Xu Wanning saw Dongzi tiptoeing from afar.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here!" Dongzi shouted with his arms raised.

Xu Wanning was surprised for a moment, and walked towards Dongzi with her luggage.

Dongzi trotted a few steps to meet him and took the luggage from Xu Wanning.

"Huh, why is it so light?" said Dongzi in surprise.

"Oh, I'll mail the heavier ones, otherwise it won't be convenient on the road. Xu Wanning lied without changing her face.

Dongzi didn't think much about it, and squeezed out of the crowd all the way with Xu Wanning's luggage.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother An Zige sent me a telegram with the approximate time of your arrival, and I went out early this morning to wait at the station. Otherwise, you are alone, how unsafe it is. ”

Xu Wanning bent the corners of her mouth: "Thank you." ”

"Hey, sister-in-law and I'm polite!"

There is still a long way to go from the station to Daejeon, so you need to take a very crowded bus.

After two long hours, the bus was finally squeezed out.

Xu Wanning held on to the trunk of the dead tree on the side of the road and retched for a while before she could barely recover.

It was the first time she had taken this type of transportation, and she could remember the two-hour torment for a lifetime!

"Sister-in-law, seeing you like this, I guess I have to rest for a while, why don't you go to my house and sit for a while, someone just wants to see you." ”

Xu Wanning didn't want to speak anymore, so she just nodded in response to Dongzi.

Fortunately, Dongzi's house is not far from the drop-off point, and it takes a few minutes to arrive.

After pushing open the door, Xu Wanning saw an unexpected person.

It was Dongzi's good buddy who made the machine for Xu Wanning.

Seeing someone coming, Lao Mao stood up, rubbed his hands restlessly, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Xu Zhiqing, I'm here to compensate you." You have a lot of adults, don't worry about me. ”

Xu Wanning was a little confused, she looked at Lao Mao in confusion, and then looked at Dongzi: "What's wrong?"

Dongzi let out a cold snort from his nose, didn't look at Lao Mao, and took Xu Wanning's luggage into the house angrily, "You let him tell you himself!"

Lao Mao opened his mouth, and his voice was so small that Xu Wanning needed to listen hard.

"Xu Zhiqing, I shouldn't make a machine for someone else without your consent. By the way, this is the money I earned, and the rest is here except for the material fee. ”

Looking at the pile of money handed over by Lao Mao, Xu Wanning blinked her dry eyes in confusion: "What are you doing for me with the money you earn?"

"This is what he deserves!" Dongzi leaned against the door frame and continued to huff: "Obviously sister-in-law, you first asked him to make the machine, knowing that his family was in difficulty, and gave him food stamps and so much money, but he betrayed his promise and took advantage of the time when you were away to make the same machine for others!"

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't know yet, right? During this time, canned yellow peaches are like a flood, in addition to your branch, there are many manufacturers who are producing, and recently they can't even find yellow peaches!"

"And he!" Dongzi pointed to Lao Mao, who was hanging his head, "It's the culprit! If he hadn't seen the money and leaked the method of making the machine, there wouldn't be so many people competing to imitate it." ”

Looking at Dongzi's indignant appearance, Xu Wanning couldn't cry or laugh.

"I thought something was wrong. Dongzi, I don't blame him, and you don't have to be angry. ”

"But sister-in-law ......"

Xu Wanning raised her hand and stopped Dongzi's unfinished words: "You listen to me." At first, I gave him food stamps because he was a good buddy and wanted to help him, and as for the money I gave him, it was his manual fee for making the machine, which he deserved. ”

"Besides, he has to live, and if he wants to live, he has to make money, so he makes machines for others to make money, which is understandable, and he is not wrong. ”

"I know you're angry that he shouldn't have used the drawings I gave me to make machines for my competitors, did he?"

Toko nodded.

"It's not difficult to make that machine, as long as you know how to do it, you can figure it out yourself. ”

"What's more, I never thought of making the canned yellow peach family bigger. From the very beginning, I was prepared to be imitated. ”

Imitation is imitation, she is confident that no one can surpass the canned yellow peaches she makes.

After listening to Xu Wanning's enlightenment, Dongzi lost his anger at the beginning, but he still didn't like Lao Mao.

Xu Wanning knew that there was a dislike between the two brothers, and it was not something that she could persuade in a few words, so she simply didn't care about Dongzi, she just spoke to Lao Mao.

"You don't have to be mentally burdened. When I first asked you to make a machine, I didn't specifically tell you that you can't show the drawings to others, or you can't make them for others. Since I didn't say it, then you are not in breach of contract. ”

"But Xu Zhiqing, it's not authentic for me to do this. ”

"It's a little bit, but it doesn't hurt. Next time this happens, just let me know in advance. ”

Next time?

Lao Mao muttered these two words again, and subconsciously asked, "Do you still want me to make a machine?"

Xu Wanning raised her eyebrows: "What?
