Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1056 I Like This

The next morning, the family had breakfast at a snack bar next to the guesthouse. They arranged to return to the village at noon. Xiaowei's mother and Aunt Wang went to visit their acquaintances again, and Zhang Bing followed pitifully behind them, unable to refuse even if he wanted to.

Xiaowei's dad didn't know many people in the county, so he went to the county hospital to find Liu Liu's dad, and they went back together at noon.

Xiaowei and Xiaohong had nowhere to go, so they held hands and returned to the guesthouse. They had to wait for Wang Guifang to come and take care of some business.

Instead of Wang Guifang, Xiuer rushed over carrying a small suitcase. At this time, students living at school bring their own luggage; they have to carry it back during holidays and bring it back when school starts.

Xiao Hong looked at it and asked, "Is this all you have?"

Xiuer said, "Well, just luggage. I don't bring many clothes. There are some at the mountain goods station. I can go home whenever I want."

Xiuer is not the same Xiuer she used to be. Before, her family was poor, and although she could make a round trip in a day, she rarely went home to save on train fare. Now she has enough pocket money, and she goes back home whenever she has free time to eat a home-cooked meal, satisfy her cravings, and change her clothes.

Moreover, from the beginning of spring until the end of autumn, my fourth uncle and aunt are busy in the county town, and sometimes she doesn't even go back to her dormitory.

Xiao Wei said, "Then why are you carrying your luggage back? Just leave it at school."

Xiuer said, "My dad told me to take it back. He said the bed is too thin and old."

Xiao Hong touched it and said, "It is indeed a bit thin. I'll get you a better one when we get back from Fengtian. This lousy school doesn't have enough heating, and we've been freezing most of the winter. It'll be so cold in the spring."

Xiao Wei said, "It all comes down to money. Burning coal costs money too."

The three of them sat and chatted for a while when there was a gentle knock on the door. Xiu'er ran to open the door, and Wang Guifang stood outside the door somewhat uneasily.

Xiao Hong stood up and said, "Come in, sister, come in and warm up."

Wang Guifang went inside. The guesthouse's heating system was connected to the government's, and it was burning quite well.

Xiao Wei asked, "Sister Wang, have you packed everything?"

Wang Guifang nodded. Last night, she grew increasingly anxious. The two groups were complete strangers, strangers who had never met before, and suddenly this huge stroke of good fortune seemed to fall from the sky—it felt like a dream. She was terrified that the dream would end soon.

Xiao Hong pulled Wang Guifang's cold hand and sat her down on the sofa, asking, "Is the baby in the hospital?"

Wang Guifang nodded and said, "Yes, she was still asleep when I left." She didn't have money for a hotel, so she stayed here with the elderly woman and her child. At night, the three of them squeezed onto one hospital bed. She tried her best to give room to the elderly woman and her child, and she nestled at their feet.

Xiao Wei said, "Have you had breakfast? Xiu'er, go out and buy some breakfast. You haven't eaten either, have you?"

Xiuer said, "No, I got up and came right away. What do you want to buy?"

Xiao Wei took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Xiu'er: "Buy whatever you want to eat. Just enough for the two of you. Your sister-in-law and I will eat it."

Wang Guifang said shyly, "No need." Xiuer had already run out.

Xiao Hong chased after him to the door and shouted, "Bring me a roll of better toilet paper!"

Xiuer agreed.

Xiaohong got her period this morning. Back then, there were no sanitary napkins; everyone used folded toilet paper. The wealthy used good toilet paper, while the poor used scrap paper or even newspaper, so gynecological diseases were quite common. Being a woman really had it tough.

When Xiuer returned, she had dinner with Wang Guifang, and Xiao Hong tidied herself up before the four of them went to the county bureau.

Xiao Wei went to the heated storage room and drove the car out. Xiu'er climbed into the passenger seat and asked, "Brother, is this the style you gave me?"

Xiao Wei said, "No, weren't we talking about my old one?"

Xiuer said, "No, I like this one. It's so big, it looks fierce. Is it okay?"

Xiao Hong and Wang Guifang got into the back seat, and Xiao Wei shifted gears and headed out of the guesthouse courtyard towards the county bureau, saying, "This isn't suitable for young ladies like you. You should drive a sports car like your sister-in-law for now; it's smaller and easier to handle. I'll get you one of these when you grow up and get married, okay?"

Xiuer turned to Xiaohong and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, how much did the sports car cost?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's more expensive than his original one, over 800,000."

Xiuer was delighted and said, "Okay, sure. How about this one? How much is this?"

Xiao Hong said, "This is close to four million."

Xiuer was surprised: "That much difference? Brother, I feel a car that's too small is no fun, don't you think?"

Xiao Hong reached out and smacked Xiu'er on the head from behind: "You're obsessed with money, you little money-grubber."

Wang Guifang stared in disbelief and asked, "This car, this car, costs over four million?"

Xiao Hong said, "Yes, it's a genuine German car. Cars from Germany are expensive in China, but they don't cost that much abroad."

Wang Guifang touched the seat cushion and said, "You guys are really capable and rich."

Xiao Wei said, "The policies are good now, and anyone who wants to make money can do so. Things will definitely get better and better in the future, and then everyone will have money."

Wang Guifang smiled.

The car drove into the county bureau compound, and the gatekeeper didn't even ask a question. He just stopped at the main gate, and the four people got out and walked into the building, going straight to the bureau chief's office on the third floor, which was a little inside where Li Zhongguo's office used to be.

Xiao Wei knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open. Director Li was looking up at him from inside. Xiao Wei said, "Director Li, I am Zhang Wei."

Director Li immediately forced a smile, walked out from behind his desk, and stretched out his hands from afar: "Hello, hello, Director Zhang, come in, come in, have a seat. Please have a seat."

Xiao Wei reached out and shook hands with Director Li, saying, "Director Li, please don't be so polite. You and my Uncle Li, who is also my father-in-law, are old acquaintances. If you're so polite, I won't dare to come again next time."

Director Li said, "Okay, okay, you're welcome. This must be the girl from the Jianshe family, right? She's growing more and more beautiful."

Xiao Wei introduced them: "Yes, this is my wife, Wang Xiaohong. This is my younger sister, from my fourth uncle's family, her name is Zhang Xiu. This is Wang Guifang, who came here today on business. It's not easy for her; she supports her elderly mother and child all by herself. Her mother is in the hospital, and her child is only three or four years old."

Wang Guifang bowed slightly to Director Li: "Hello, Director Li, my name is Wang Guifang."

Director Li waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Let's sit down. From now on, we're all family. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. As long as the organization can solve it, there's no problem. If the organization can't solve it for the time being, just go to Director Zhang, haha."

Director Li was quite satisfied with this matter. Even if Zhang Wei had forced someone to take up a position, he would have had to accept it because the difference in rank was too great. However, Xiao Wei was good at handling things. Not only did Wang Guifang not occupy the original position, but she also brought two positions with her, which was an unexpected surprise.
