"Do you know any places in Jincheng that are related to salt?" Shen Xiaoyi looked at Cheng Xiaolin.

Cheng Xiaolin thought for a moment and said something.

She looked a little hesitant and said, "I only know a little about Jincheng, if you want to know more, you still have to find someone who understands this." ”

Shen Xiaoyi nodded, what Cheng Xiaolin said was very reasonable.

He smiled and said: "Thanks to you today, you have opened up new ideas for us, and when this matter is completed, I have to thank you very much." ”

Cheng Xiaolin smiled playfully and said, "Thank me, don't use it, if you stay with my sister for a while, I'll be thankful, so that she won't chant in my ear every day." ”

Shen Xiaozheng on the side scratched his head and looked at the map, he still didn't know how Cheng Xiaolin learned so much information from a piece of paper.

"It seems that this person still needs to read more." Shen Xiaozheng sighed with Li Fang.

Li Fang nodded and echoed: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, only then do you know the shallowness of your knowledge." ”

Cheng Xiaolin, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and interjected: "Okay, two, I just said my own guess, it's not necessarily right, there's no need to praise me like this." However, this comrade is right, there is still a lot to go for books to read. ”

Before she finished speaking, Shen Xiaozheng hurriedly said, "Who praised you, the two of us, we just sighed." ”

Everyone looked at Shen Xiaozheng's hard mouth, and they were all full of black lines.

Cheng Xiaolin's gaze shifted from Shen Xiaozheng to Li Fang, she hadn't greeted Li Fang just now.

She looked at Li Fang and introduced herself with a smile: "I am Cheng Xiaolin of the Art Troupe, hello comrade." ”

Li Fang stood up, shook hands with her and said, "Li Fang of Red Star Rolling Mill." ”

Cheng Xiaolin looked at Li Fang and said, "Are you also from the procurement department?" ”

Her sister likes Shen Xiaoyi, and she knows a lot about Shen Xiaoyi, knowing that Shen Xiaoyi is now working in the procurement department of the rolling mill.

Li Fang nodded.

Cheng Xiaolin suddenly smiled and said, "You don't look like a purchaser, but more like a student." ”

Li Fang was stunned for a moment, knowing that she was saying that she had a tender face, but she was really young.

"Comrade Cheng Xiaolin, please don't have a stereotype of our buyers, should we all look the same? Besides, our Comrade Li Fang is just 16 years old, and he is younger than you. Shen Xiaoyi quipped on the side.

Cheng Xiaolin smiled, she once asked Shen Xiaoyi to take mountain goods to eat, and happened to meet Lao Chang and Liu Tieshan next to Shen Xiaoyi.

Since then, every time Cheng Xiaolin sees Shen Xiaoyi, she has to joke that he is not serious about his work and does not sacrifice his personal image for work like his subordinates.

......

Shen Xiaoyi listened carefully to Cheng Xiaolin's analysis, and he had a number in his heart, after sending away the Cheng sisters, he and Li Fang discussed for a long time, and finally, he decided to go to Jincheng in person, and proposed to let Li Fang accompany him.

Li Fang calculated the time, if he didn't delay in Jincheng for a long time, he would be able to catch up with Qin Jianjun's wedding day, but he also had to make preparations with both hands.

In case he can't come back after a long time, he can only ask Zhang Yurong to send things to Qin Jianjun first.

Shen Xiaoyi knew that he had something at home, so he deliberately gave him a day off, nominally saying that he went to the countryside to purchase, and he couldn't come back for a day away.

Li Fang borrowed a bicycle from him, first went home to pick up his things, wrapped them, and then rode in the direction of Qinjiazhuang.

He had already prepared a gift for Qin Jianjun, a pair of thermoses, a pair of enamel basins, and a pair of enamel cups.

When he bought the thermos, he bought a pair for his home.

In this era, whether it is urban or rural, this gift is considered a heavy gift, in order not to be ostentatious, he went home and instructed Zhang Yurong to send it to Qin Jianjun's family as much as possible in private.

After all, face is for outsiders to see.

Zhang Yurong was also shocked when she saw her son come back with so many things, but she has always been a character who doesn't talk much and don't ask much, and after putting the things away, she went to cook for Li Fang.

"Big brother, do you still have candy to eat?" Qin Xiaohe ran to Li Fang and asked.

Li Fang touched his pocket and shook his head.

This time he came back in a hurry, and forgot to bring candy to a few children, and usually he would bring some snacks when he came back to satisfy their hunger.

Qin Xiaohe was not disappointed, he took out a chestnut from his pocket and put it in Li Fang's palm.

"Then big brother, eat this, it's also fragrant." The little face smiled like a flower, and Li Fang laughed when he saw him.

In the house, Qin Hongxing and Qin Xiaomei were playing with the flower rope, changing out of the new clothes from the New Year, and putting on the old clothes.

In these days, I am reluctant to wear a new dress every day, after all, everyone has patches on their bodies, and it is not appropriate to wear a new dress to go out every day.

I always feel out of place.

When the smoke of the family's cooking rose, Li Fang suddenly remembered Qin Jingru, he brought a bag of stick noodles from home and went to Qin Jingru's house.

When Qin Dashun first left, they still gave them food, and now that the family is rich, it is time to return it to others.

"Is Uncle San at home?" Li Fang rolled up his sleeves and knocked on the door and asked.

The people inside heard a knock and quickly opened the door.

The one who opened the door was Qin Jingru's younger brother, a small radish head.

"My dad is at home, what are you going to do?" The boy has a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and his big eyes are shiny.

Li Fang touched his little head and said, "It's construction, it's growing taller again." Come, eat a chestnut. He stuffed the chestnuts given by Qin Xiaohe into the boy's hand.

The boy shook his hands and shouted into the house, "Dad, mother, someone is coming." ”

When it wasn't the time when the farm was busy, the peasant family didn't have a chance to eat, and some of them ate two meals a day, and they stayed in bed when they were free, so Qin Jianshe roared, and Qin Daping came down from the kang.

"It's here, sit down, rest." When Qin Daping saw Li Fang, his face was very enthusiastic and welcomed him into the house.

In the house, Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when she heard Li Fang's name, and she hurriedly ran out of the house.

Seeing her sweetheart who she hadn't seen for a long time, her thoughts were about to overflow from her eyes.

"Third uncle, this is the grain last time, the family is rich, I sent it to you." Li Fang carried the grain and said with a smile.

Qin Daping sighed and said, "You eat first, why are you in such a hurry." How about it, are you still used to living in the city? ”

Li Fang nodded: "It's all good, well-fed and warmly dressed." ”

Qin Daping patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's good, Xiaohe's father is gone, this family is on your shoulders, and I, the third uncle, can't help much, seeing that you are all good, I am relieved." ”

There are five cousins in their generation, and now he and the fifth elder Qin Darong are left, so he is very concerned about the children of his brothers, but after all, he has children himself, and life is also very difficult.

"Put, don't leave for a while, Sanniang will give you pancakes to eat." Qin Jingru and her mother walked over from the stove house and greeted.

Li Fang hurriedly refused: "No need Sanniang, my mother is ready." ”

In these years, when he went to other people's homes as guests, he had to bring his own dry food, so he was embarrassed to leave others to eat.

Li Fang greeted Qin Daping for a while, and then proposed to leave, Qin Daping looked at his daughter's soulless appearance, and sighed in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Jingru, let's send you to Brother Zi." ”

When Qin Jingru heard his father's words, he nodded hurriedly, walked to Li Fang's side, and showed a smile.

As soon as the two walked out of the door, Li Fang took out a delicate small hairpin from his arms.

"Put it on and take a look." That day, when he bought a gift for Qin Jianjun, he saw this thing, don't look at the small thing, but the price is not cheap.

He bought one for his two sisters and Qin Jingru, and bought one for Zhang Yurong in a regular style.

Qin Jingru snorted and took the hairpin in surprise.

"It's beautiful, isn't it good-looking?" She pinned it to her head, and the girl's hair was black and shiny. She turned to Li Fang and showed it.

Li Fang nodded with a smile and said, "It's good-looking, like a big girl." ”

After the New Year, they were a year older.

In this era when boys are twenty and girls are eighteen can be legally married, they are already adults.

Qin Jingru smiled, and she said, "Brother Jianjun will get married in a few days, and you will come back, right." ”

She looked at Li Fang expectantly.

Li Fang nodded and said, "Yes, I'll come back early then." ”

Qin Jingru nodded with satisfaction, she would be happy if she could see Li Fang one more time.

"These days, why don't you come to the city to play with me. Didn't you say last time that I would take you to the city to eat meat buns again? Li Fang paused and asked.

Qin Jingru said embarrassedly: "You go to work every day, I go to disturb you, how inappropriate." Besides, I don't have anything to do, so why waste that ticket money? ”

Li Fang looked at the girl's red face, smiled and touched her head.

This touch on the head made Qin Jingru's face even redder.

"When I'm done with this, I'll pick you up on a bike and take you to the city, and I'll save money on tickets then." Li Fang instructed.

Qin Jingru nodded and asked curiously, "Do you have a bicycle?" ”

The 28 bars of this year are not inferior to the cars of later generations, and there are bicycles that are still very sensational in the countryside.

Li Fang smiled: "No, but there may be." ”

If the trip to Jincheng goes well, maybe a bicycle ticket will be justifiably awarded to him.

When the time comes, he will be able to have his own 28 bars.

No more wasted two long legs.

Qin Jingru sighed and grew her mouth: "It's really fake, you won't be bragging." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she denied herself in her heart.

How can Brother Fangzi brag?

He did everything he promised.

"Then I'll be waiting for you at home." Qin Jingru looked at Li Fang with a smile, her eyes full of admiration.
