Director Niu was very confused when he received this messy letter with parents' trivial nature.
Until he turned to the last page - the letter Cheng Shaojin wrote to him, saying that Comrade Xu Yin had no marriage partner at all. Combined with the situation investigated by Xu Wenfa, it turned out that everything was a conspiracy of the old Xu family, with the purpose of getting Xu Yin to come back and take over. Her eldest sister's three children.
Director Niu was so angry that he almost smashed the tea vat: "How can you have such confused parents? It's really eye-opening!"
He immediately picked up the pen, rewrote a letter, and sent it to Beiguan.
Comrade Xu Yin, who had made several contributions to the organization in just one year and gained face as the head of Yuanshan County, could not ruin his promising future because of his parents who were confused.
As for the fact that Xu Yin was originally not qualified and was able to join the reclamation team because of her identity as Comrade Xu Wenfa, despite repeated warnings in Cheng Shaojin's letter, not a word was mentioned.
When Cheng Shaojin waited for this letter, it was already the sixth day of the first lunar month.
If it weren't for the snow and ice in Beiguan and the inconvenience of traveling, Captain Fu Rongxing would probably come to the station in person to get the letter from Director Niu. Cheng Shaojin was really worried.
Fortunately, the wait is finally here.
It happened that he was on vacation, so he put the letter from Director Niu into his pocket and opened the letter from his cousin Liu Dazhuang as he walked.
After reading it carefully, almost every word and every event was imprinted in my mind, then I slowly exhaled a breath, put away the letter, and walked towards the gate of the station.
"Chengzi, where are you going?"
"Go to Hewozitun."
…
At the base camp of the Yuanshan Reclamation Team, Fu Rongxing was really unable to sit still. He never forgot to mention this when he was warming up by the fire with his male compatriots:
"Is there too much snow and wind that Comrade Xiao Cheng can't come? You can't forget it, right? What do you think Director Niu will say in his letter? Will he praise us more or criticize us more?"
"Captain! Captain!"
Chen Daming's excited voice came from outside the house: "Comrade Cheng is here!"
Captain Fu stood up, opened the curtain, opened the door and went out to greet him: "Comrade Cheng is here? Come in quickly! Come in quickly! It's cold outside!"
Cheng Shaojin smiled and took out the letter: "I'm really sorry for taking so long."
Captain Fu happily accepted the letter: "It's okay, it's not that important. If it were really important, Director Niu would definitely send us a telegram."
That being said, Director Niu's letter gave him a lot of expectations.
As a result, when he finished reading it, he was really speechless.
"..."
Director Niu was really...a few pages thick. In addition to praising Xu Yin, he also told them to work hard and not to disgrace Yuanshan County.
He could memorize these few sentences over and over again. As for the comrades from the entrusting army who came all the way to bring them here specially?
A letter that made him look forward to New Year's Eve and the first month of the new year. Is this the content?
I feel so lonely!
Cheng Shaojin looked around and asked, "Comrade Xu Yin..."
"Oh, Xiao Xu, she is reading in her room!" Captain Fu put away the letter and praised Xu Yin every day, "Xiao Xu loves studying. Since the winter, she has been reading and taking notes in the room. I have never seen anyone as hard-working as her.”
"Can I go see her?"
"Yes! Of course I can! I will show you the way."
Captain Fu enthusiastically led Cheng Shaojin through the eaves and to the backyard.
Chen Daming squatted down to warm himself by the fire and bumped Zhou Haijun with his elbow: "You said Comrade Cheng didn't know Xu Yin before? He sent her a message and then he came to the door. Do you think he is a drunkard? liquor?"
Zhou Haijun's tone was a little sour: "Don't you want to find Xu Yin a partner?"
Xu Yin is good-looking and capable at work. Many young men in the team like her, including many local young people in Hewozitun.
Unfortunately, Xu Yin didn't care at all about the person she was talking to. She regarded the single guy's advances as friendly and always maintained the proper distance. Everyone was secretly trying to express their feelings to her, but they didn't dare to speak to her face to face. Thinking of her record of single-handedly challenging thirteen wolves, I was really afraid that she would get upset and beat them up.
"I don't think Xu Yin will agree." Chen Da said clearly, "I asked her, her ideal is to reclaim more wasteland and store more food for the motherland. She will not easily fall into the love between son and daughter. Besides, We have to go back in three years at most, but Comrade Cheng’s workplace is here, and this alone is inappropriate."
The two people who were said to be "inappropriate" by their teammates were staring at each other in the room.
Cheng Shaojin felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xu Yin. He took out the wolf fang from his pocket and said, "I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to thank you for saving my life."
"Huh?"
Xu Yin looked at Lang Ya and then at him: "Were you the one who was in the woods that day?"
"Well, and my comrade, thank you for saving us."
Xu Yin nodded clearly: "I said you looked familiar the last time I saw you. But you don't have to take it to heart. I happened to be passing by, and other people would do the same thing. You are the cutest people."
Hearing the last sentence, the tips of Cheng Shaojin's ears felt a little hot for no reason.
"No matter what, I have to thank you. Without your help, we would have become nothing but dirt."
He took out a pre-written note from his pocket: "This is my name and contact information. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Xu Yin was about to refuse when she caught his name from the corner of her eye:
Cheng Shaojin?
It turns out to be Comrade Xiaojin!
She smiled in relief.
Thank you fate for letting you and I meet again.
"Okay! Then I'm welcome."
She put away the note neatly and smiled at him, a smile so bright that it made the winter eclipse.
"It's not easy to come here in this weather, right? Have a quick meal before leaving! People will be warmer. These are good things I stocked up before winter. I wouldn't be willing to take them out to entertain other people. You are in for a treat!"
Xu Yin took out the smoked rabbit meat, sun-dried beans and dried mushrooms that Mrs. Fang had asked her before going to college for the first time, and decided to stew beans and braised rabbit meat for him to try. In addition, he also took out a small bottle of Laobaigan, and would walk back in the wind and snow later to give him some wine to warm up.
Knowing that Comrade Xu Yin was staying for dinner, Chen Daming and Zhou Haijun looked at each other in surprise:
"Xu Yin actually allowed him to eat?"
"And take out the smoked rabbit meat that she usually can't bear to eat?"
"And invite him to drink?"
"Is the wealth really going to go to outsiders?"
"..."
"What are you two doing here?" Captain Fu came over and gave them both a kick. "Whose turn is it to light the fire today? Who is cooking? We still have time to chat."
"Is it our turn again?" Chen Daming pointed at himself and Zhou Haijun, "So soon?" It felt like the last round ended not long ago.
Captain Fu looked annoyed: "Who else are you two?"
"..."
Some lucky guy was roasting meat in Xu Yin's house, but they had to cook in a miserable way.
People are so irritating!
