Chapter 262 The Truth
Jiang Baohua thought he had misheard, "What, what did you say?"

Liu Qingsong and Wei Qimin also widened their eyes. Not selling it means that the factory is not going to be opened anymore?
Wei Qimin also asked.

"The factory is still open, but we don't plan to sell the machines for the time being," said Jiang Xingye.

"So after you produce the machines, you can store them at home for yourselves to look at?" Wei Qimin said with a smile.

"We will set up harvesting teams and threshing teams. If you can't afford to buy machines, you can hire our people and machines and pay them with work points or grain. You don't have to pay for a machine all at once."

Jiang Baohua's eyes lit up. This was a really good idea. If all the brigades were like the Liaozhong Brigade and the Xinlian Brigade, they would really not need to open this tractor factory.

Not only will you not make any money, but you will also go bankrupt due to debts.

But if it's about renting, it shouldn't be so that they can't even come up with some food or money!

As for Liu Qingsong and Wei Qimin, it was hard to put into words. This was a complete failure of their plan to get something for nothing. However, this method was really good and absolutely foolproof.

"Are you planning to keep doing this?" Liu Qingsong asked, "This isn't a long-term solution!"

Jiang Xingye remained silent. Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Jiang Baohua smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future later. Maybe by the time your production teams have enough money and are willing to buy our machines, we'll certainly be willing to sell them."

Liu Qingsong and Wei Qimin felt like they had suffered billions of critical hits, but they had nothing to say. They came empty-handed and returned empty-handed.

Xu Qinghuan was not idle on the way to the county town. Everyone in the car was talking about Xu Manman's gossip.

"I said I wanted to get an abortion, but the county hospital said the pregnancy had already implanted or something, so I couldn't get an abortion, so I came back."

"Why do you want an abortion? Why? We're getting married, so won't we have children sooner or later?"

"Who knows? I heard Jiang Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing had a fierce fight. Why did that happen?"

"Why? Didn't you hear the educated young man Xu crying and shouting beside you, 'Stop fighting, don't fight for me!' Oh my god, I got goosebumps just hearing that."

Everyone in the car started laughing.

"I said the two male educated youths were fighting over Xiao Zhiqing Xu. You didn't see the look in Zhou Zhiqing's eyes every time he looked at Xiao Zhiqing Xu. I've seen it multiple times. It was like a vicious dog seeing a piece of fat meat. It was terrifying."

Someone whispered, "So, the child in little Xu Zhiqing's belly might be Zhou Zhiqing's?"

"That's hard to say!"

"Didn't Jiang Zhiqing mean that since they're both still young and can't earn much money, and neither family can afford to support them, they shouldn't have children for the time being?"

Another person spat, "You believe this kind of bullshit? Everyone in this brigade gets married and has kids at 17 or 18. I was only 17 when I gave birth to my eldest son.

Besides, what else can you ask for when you raise a child? For the first two years, if the adults eat, the child will eat too.”

As they were talking, the topic somehow turned to Xu Qinghuan.

Aunt Li: "Qinghuan, when are you and Xiaoye going to get married?"

Up ahead, Jiang Xingye was so nervous that even his hands holding the armrest were shaking. He pricked up his ears, like a radar, receiving information from Xu Qinghuan.

"Look at A Ye!" Xu Qinghuan blushed with embarrassment. It was not that she was thin-skinned, but she had never accepted such a test in her two lives.

In my previous life, no one urged me to get married. In this life, for the first time, I always feel that no matter how I answer, it will not be appropriate.

Jiang Xingye pursed his lips and felt that the sun was shining brightly today, the autumn wind was gentle, the sky was so high and so blue, and there were so many white clouds floating in the blue sky, it was really beautiful.

Everyone in the carriage laughed heartily. Li Xingzhi said, "Look at Xiaoye! He can't wait to marry you home today so he can sleep with you in his arms at night!"

There was another burst of laughter, and Jiang Xingye also felt very uncomfortable. What he thought in his heart was one thing, but when someone said it out loud, the feeling was both sweet and shy.

These married old ladies are all very tough.

Fortunately, everyone understood that Xu Qinghuan was an unmarried young lady, and they just made a good-natured joke and said nothing more.

"Hey, doesn't Lu Zhiqing have a partner? Last time, her mother came, but she didn't say she was taking her home. It seems her family should have some connections."

Dong Youfu's mother, Qian Datao, became interested when she heard this. "Xu Zhiqing, what's the situation at Lu Zhiqing's house? I think the person who came last time was related to you. Why does Lu Zhiqing also call her mom?"

All they talked about was Song Wanlin.

Xu Qinghuan said, "That's not Lu Zhiqing's biological mother. Lu Zhiqing's situation is a bit complicated. Her family is from Yancheng. She will go back sooner or later anyway. Her family does have some abilities."

"Don't you have a courtyard house in Yancheng? Xiaoye also lived in your courtyard house when he went to Yancheng with you last time?" Qian Datao's tentative words had a deeper meaning.

Xu Qinghuan smiled. "I bought the courtyard house, and Ah Ye also paid for it, so of course he can live in it. Besides, we're engaged, so why should we separate ourselves?"

"That makes sense!"

The rest of the people in the car were also very smart and could taste the flavor immediately.

"Da Tao, didn't your husband Youfu have a crush on the educated young man Xu before? Now he is planning to change his partner and has set his eyes on the educated young man Lu?" Li Xingzhi asked.

"How can that little Xu Zhiqing compare to Xu Zhiqing? I heard that he's a bastard born from a relationship between her mother and a stranger, and she's pregnant with someone else's child. My family would rather be single for the rest of their lives than have such a rubbish."

"Then your family must seize this opportunity. Lu Zhiqing is a hot commodity. If you really marry him, won't you be able to eat commercial grain in the city in the future?"

"It all depends on my family's ability!"

Perhaps because Jiang Xingye was so lucky, all the lazy bachelors in the team were eager to try. They all wanted to be like Jiang Xingye, find someone like Xu Zhiqing, own a house in the city, and wear an imported watch on their wrist.

When they arrived at the commune, Jiang Xingye dropped off some of the people, and Xu Qinghuan followed the rest of the group and continued on the tractor to the county town. When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, he reminded them, "The tractor is hauling goods, so you can take the bus back this afternoon."

He helped Xu Qinghuan get out of the car. It was still early, so the two of them went to Xinhua Bookstore to hand in their assignment. The last time, it was a little over 10,000 words, about ten manuscripts, each one 1,000 words.

Gong Mingjie took a quick glance and thought to himself that the calligraphy was really beautiful.

He put the translation manuscript into the file bag and took out three yuan and fifty cents, a pound of meat coupons, and a three-foot piece of cloth coupons and gave it to her. "This is the first payment for your translation of a thousand words. For entry-level translation, the Y language is three yuan per thousand words, and the D language is fifty cents more than the Y language."

Xu Qinghuan took the money note and asked, "If I get promoted to Intermediate Translation, will my remuneration level be higher?"

"Of course it will be higher. One thousand words is 4.5 yuan. If you translate 10,000 words, that's 45 yuan." Gong Mingjie pointed at the file bag.

Xu Qinghuan is very rich now, and she doesn't look down on the forty-five yuan. However, with this money, it becomes a matter of course for her to eat and drink well.

With these ten translated manuscripts submitted, the intermediate translation certificate was almost ready. Gong Mingjie handed Xu Qinghuan another manuscript of about 20,000 words, saying, "We should get it translated as soon as possible. The sooner we translate it, the sooner we can learn from others' experience."

Xu Qinghuan took a quick look and saw that it was something related to mechanics, so it wasn't difficult for her.

Xu Qinghuan was going to the Armed Forces Department, and Jiang Xingye was seeing him off. When they reached a dead end, seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Xu Qinghuan in and pressed her against the wall, shielding her with his body. "Are you telling the truth about what you said on the tractor?"
