Because of his family background, Cai Xiaoguang was a middle-level leader when he first entered the machinery factory. After three years, he was considered an upper-middle-level leader.

Probably because he manages more people, his demeanor is very good, and one can tell at a glance that he is a cadre. He is much better than Jia Mingke.

Wang Yue let Cai Xiaoguang in and asked curiously, "Xiaoguang, how did you know I was back?"

After Cai Xiaoguang sat down on the kang, he said naturally, "What's so strange about this? Don't I know your character? If you get the chance, you will definitely come back."

Chapter 149 See you again!

Wang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect this buddy to know him so well. Of course, he knew that it couldn't be caused by their friendship. It must be because of Zhou Rong.

He looked at Cai Xiaoguang who was pretending to be a good friend, right? He said helplessly, "Then tell me, what do you want from me?"

Cai Xiaoguang saw Wang Yue bringing out a bowl of rice and realized that Wang Yue hadn't eaten yet, so he quickly stood up and said, "Since you haven't eaten yet, let's go out and eat. I also have something I want to talk to you about."

Looking at Cai Xiaoguang's expression, Wang Yue roughly guessed that he was right again. This guy came to see him probably because of Zhou Rong.

He didn't hesitate to throw the basin on the table and followed Cai Xiaoguang out.

The two men rode their bicycles out of Guangzi Film one after another. After several years of development, this place has become more crowded.

Wang Yue saw that there was no one around, so he asked curiously, "You look so happy, did you get a promotion, or did Zhou Rong have good news?"

Cai Xiaoguang smiled brightly when he mentioned Zhou Rong. He couldn't hold back any longer and said proudly, "It's Zhou Rong. She and Feng Hua broke up."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Is this true? He went to Guizhou just for Feng Huacheng, how could they break up so easily?"

Cai Xiaoguang looked at Wang Yue and said helplessly, "If I didn't know that you already have someone in your heart and are married, I would have suspected that you and Zhou Rong had some unclear relationship."

Wang Yue didn't know why Cai Xiaoguang suddenly changed his tone, so he quickly proved his innocence and said, "Xiaoguang, I need to make this clear to you. I just wrote the letter according to your request. The main content was to discuss some physics knowledge. I didn't discuss any emotional matters at all."

When he said this, he was afraid that Cai Xiaoguang would not believe him, so he quickly reminded him, "You are my son's godfather, and I have a wife and children. You won't forget Zheng Juan and the others, right?"

Cai Xiaoguang knew that Wang Yue would not dare to come back in this era. He shook his head helplessly and explained with a smile, "I don't mean anything else. I just said that your method is very good. Zhou Rong's mind is full of physics knowledge now, and she has no interest in poetry or songs.

This led to her and Feng Huacheng having little in common, and conflicts gradually arose. Now Zhou Rong has written to me, saying that he and Feng Huacheng have broken up.

It turned out that after Zhou Rong's thinking moved away from literature, she was no longer so interested in sentimental poetry.

Feng Huacheng wrote poems many times, but failed to impress Zhou Rong, but unexpectedly impressed other female educated youth.

It just so happened that this female educated youth had also heard of Feng Huacheng, so, just like Zhou Rong had done back then, she boldly confessed her love to Feng Huacheng.

Feng Huacheng took the girl's love letter and deliberately showed it to Zhou Rong. He originally wanted to make Zhou Rong jealous so that they could speed up the development of their relationship.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rong misunderstood Feng Huacheng's meaning. She thought Feng Huacheng was showing off to her, so she decisively broke up with Feng Huacheng.

Although Feng Huacheng liked the young and beautiful Zhou Rong very much, he also had a strong sense of self-esteem. Faced with a female educated youth who was more obedient than Zhou Rong, he calmly accepted the breakup with Zhou Rong.

Just when Zhou Rong was writing a letter back home, Feng Huacheng and the female educated youth had already obtained a marriage certificate in a flash.

After listening to Cai Xiaoguang's explanation, Wang Yue said with some emotion, "I didn't expect that the two of them really broke up because of me. It's not your fault, kid."

Just at this time, the two had arrived at the entrance of the People's Hotel. Cai Xiaoguang and Wang Yue put away their bicycles together, and Cai Xiaoguang naturally took Wang Yue to find a quiet place. It can be seen that this kid often comes here to eat.

After the two of them sat down, Cai Xiaoguang continued, "Don't be so conceited. Zhou Rong just changed her interest from literature to physics. Your knowledge of physics is obviously very average. She has asked me to introduce some experts in related fields in her letters more than once."

After hearing this, Wang Yue said with some caution, "Xiaoguang, you can't make the same mistake twice. If you push it to another big shot, I won't be able to help you."

After hearing this, Cai Xiaoguang said with disdain, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. Your knowledge of physics is much better than that of our high school teachers. Once Zhou Rong said she didn't understand a question, and I asked our high school teachers, but they didn't know the answer either.

Finally, I went to the university with a thick face and pestered a professor for a long time, and finally Zhou Rong solved the puzzle. Those professors were old, and no matter how brave Zhou Rong was, she didn't dare to have any ideas about them. "

Wang Yue didn't know who Cai Xiaoguang was looking for, but he knew that many professors had been demoted at that time, and frequent contact with them would cause trouble.

However, those people didn't dare to offend just anyone, and they didn't dare to cause any trouble to the people Cai Xiaoguang often looked for.

He suddenly had an idea: did he indirectly protect a professor?

Wang Yue put these messy thoughts behind his mind, and then smiled and said with emotion, "Don't mention this. In order to discuss some physics knowledge with Zhou Rong, I ran to several villages and secretly found the professor in the cowshed. That's why I didn't mention it in the discussion with Zhou Rong.

I was confused at the time, how could Zhou Rong be better than the teacher I knew? It seems that you are the one who messed things up here."

Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help laughing after hearing what Wang Wangyue said. Because he often had to help Zhou Rong find employees as a teacher, the letters between Zhou Rong and him increased more frequently, and he was the first to know about Zhou Rong's breakup.

He heard about the execution today and thought that Wang Yue would definitely come. He just wanted to express his gratitude to Wang Yue, so he started a good chat with Wang Yue.

When he was about to leave, Cai Xiaoguang smiled and said, "By the way, remind our sister later to be an activist so that I can ask my friend to give her a promotion."

Wang Yue understood that Cai Xiaoguang was expressing his gratitude to him through his sister, so he did not delay.

……

In 1972, on the eve of the Spring Festival,

Wangjiatun, Brick and Tile Office.

Sister Chunhua handed a record to Wang Yue, and then said with some entanglement, "Village Chief, are these the accounts that need to be repaid this year? The rest are all mortgaged goods, what do you think we should do?"

Wang Yue just glanced at the account book, and seeing that the specific amount was correct, he casually said, "Sister-in-law, you can arrange this matter. We have enough food in our village, and with so many things as subsidies, we can have another good year.

If there is any surplus, we can send it to the coal mine and use it to pay off the debt. They will be happy to do so."

He was not joking. For example, the pig farm pulled dozens of trucks of bricks and tiles, but had no money to pay back the brick and tile factory in Wangjiatun, so they sent people to deliver a dozen pigs.

According to the market price, it certainly has not paid for all the bricks and tiles, but it has paid for half of the goods.

So many pigs were killed as welfare, and every family could get more than ten pounds of pork. With so much pork in this era, it would mean a good New Year.

This does not include some other things. Most factories do not give money, but only use items to pay off debts, and every villager gets a share.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Jia Ming said happily, "When are we going to kill the pig? I've been wanting to eat dumplings for a long time."

After hearing Jia Ming's words, the other people also burst into laughter and started discussing the New Year. Anyway, since the brick and tile factory and cement were built, life in Wangjiatun has been extremely happy.

At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is Comrade Wang Yue here?"

Everyone looked back quickly and found that there was a woman standing at the door. Although she was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, her exquisite figure could still be seen.

After seeing the man's appearance, Wang Yue asked in surprise, "Zhou Rong? When did you come back? Why did you come to our village?"

Several other people also reacted, especially Jia Ming, who said excitedly, "Oh, you are the neighbor of Wang Yue who went to Guizhou, right? We have known each other for a long time."

He was not joking, because they often discussed the stories together as they listened to Wang Yue's stories.

Sometimes when Wang Yue was lazy, he would directly ask Liu Hui to help him write a letter, and Liu Hui would naturally discuss the content of the story.

After a while, Liu Hui and Zhou Rong became the legendary pen pals, and Jia Ming also heard a lot about Zhou Rong's deeds.

Seeing the real person now, Liu Hui quickly stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Zhou Rong, hello, I'm Liu Hui!"

In fact, Zhou Rong was shocked on the way to Wangjiatun. In her impression, the village was extremely poor.

But she didn't expect that the house in Wangjiatun was so clean and tidy, and everyone's mental outlook seemed different, with a feeling of hope.

Especially when she arrived at the door of the meeting room and heard several people's plan to distribute supplies, she understood why the villagers were full of hope.

It turns out that material life has been satisfied.

After Zhou Rong greeted everyone, she started chatting lively with Liu Hui and others. The atmosphere was very warm.

When it was time for lunch, she and Wang Yue and others came to the educated youth site, and Zheng Juan hurried to cook and prepare to entertain Zhou Rong.

It was only at this time that Wang Yue had time to ask Zhou Rong, "Why did you go to Wangjiatun? Zheng Juan and I will be back in a few days, and we will see each other then."

Zhou Rong shook her head and said expectantly, "That won't work. I came back to Jichun this time just to meet you friends."

When she said this, her eyes swept over Liu Hui and the others, and finally lingered on Wang Yue for a while.

Chapter 150 Ambiguity

Wang Yue thought Zhou Rong was here to urge him to submit his manuscript, which made him inexplicably nervous, and he didn't know why.

In order to hide his nervousness, he said awkwardly, "If you're anxious to read the story, I'll ask Juanzi to get it out for you in a while.

However, I must state in advance that they heard the story at about the same pace as you, just one mailing time later."

Zhou Rong found it amusing to see Wang Yue looking afraid of being asked to submit his manuscripts, so she was distracted and asked curiously, "How did you come up with so many stories?"

Wang Yue really wanted to say that he learned this from watching those TV dramas, and every science fiction story he told was actually a science fiction movie.

He still liked science fiction movies, but he didn't expect that at this time, it would become a way to seduce Zhou Rong, no, it would become a turning point to divert Zhou Rong's attention from literature.

Precisely because Zhou Rong is interested in technology, he racked his brains to express the technology in the story, hoping that Zhou Rong would see the shadow of the future in the story and be full of hope for the future.

In fact, the story is not perfect in this way. But there were no good stories at that time, so the story told by Wang Yue seemed particularly extraordinary.

At the beginning, under the instigation of Jia Ming, Wang Yue sent some science fiction stories to newspapers, and they were actually published, allowing Wang Yue to receive a considerable amount of writing fees.

Seeing Zhou Rong asking about the origin of the story, Wang Yue could only say helplessly, "Just think divergently. There is no shortcut at all."

Zhou Rong believed it, because the stories Wang Yue wrote at the beginning were still relatively crude, but as time went on, the stories he expressed became better and better, and they seemed more and more interesting.

She looked at her childhood sweetheart Wang Yue and suddenly felt a little regretful. She wondered why she had not realized the extraordinary nature of this childhood sweetheart earlier.

Just as she was in a daze, Zheng Juan came over with two bowls of hot dumplings. She looked at Zhou Rong and said politely, "Zhou Rong, these are the leftover dumplings we made yesterday. If you don't mind, you can eat them first. The stir-fried dishes will be ready soon."

When Zhou Rong heard Zheng Juan's voice, she came back to her senses and shifted her gaze away from Wang Yue to look at Zheng Juan who was standing aside.

With just one glance, she realized that his looks, which he was so proud of, did not give him much of an advantage in front of this woman, and the two of them were considered evenly matched.

Zhou Rong could also see Zheng Juan's vigilance towards her, and she couldn't help but smile. It seemed that she was really a threat to Zheng Juan.

Although she admired Wang Yue, she was too proud to be a third party, so she said politely, "Juanzi, how could I dislike you? I've heard from Huihui that your cooking skills are very good, and today I finally got to taste it."

Zheng Juan didn't know what Zhou Rong opposite her was laughing at, which made her feel inexplicably inferior and even more nervous.

Although she knew that Wang Yue and Zhou Rong had been discussing physics or stories written by Wang Yue in their letters over the years, she always felt that they had common topics to talk about, unlike her, who could only discuss how to have children with Wang Yue.

Wang Yue and Zheng Juan have been together for such a long time, how could he not understand his woman's character? He said to Zhou Rong helplessly, "Eat more if you like it. I'll let Juanzi take you to see Xiao Shitou later. He hasn't seen your godmother yet."

Although Zheng Juan was not that smart, she immediately understood what Wang Yue meant, which made her feel warm in her heart.

Yes, she gave birth to a son for Wang Yue, and the two of them already had a family bond.

It was Wang Yue who chose her, not Zhou Rong, so why should she feel inferior?

She felt more confident and said enthusiastically, "Yes, Little Stone's nickname was given by you, his godmother. So, did you bring the stone that inspired him?"

Of course Zhou Rong understood what Wang Yue meant. She also understood that the two of them had missed each other and it was basically impossible for them to be together.

She was very calm and had no intention of pestering him. She took a stone from her pocket and said proudly, "Of course I brought it to meet my godson. Take a look. Is it beautiful?"

Wang Yue had only taken a casual look at it, but he did not expect that Zhou Rong was holding a piece of icy jadeite. He was very surprised and asked, "Zhou Rong, where did you get this stone?"

Zhou Rong didn't know why Wang Yue was so excited, so she asked in confusion, "I found it near the cave where I live. I just thought it was pretty, so I kept it. I happened to receive your letter that day, saying that you were going to be a father, so you said you wanted to give the child a nickname."

Wang Yue saw that Zhou Rong had no idea what this thing was, so he smiled and reminded him, "This is an ice jadeite. Look at how crystal clear it is. It must be a top-grade ice jadeite. Although it can't be sold at a high price now and it's easy to get into trouble, it used to be very valuable."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Zhou Rong asked hesitantly, "Really? But I don't think anyone wants this thing. How much can it be sold for?"

Wang Yue shook his head helplessly and quickly reminded him, "Don't sell it now. If you find it in the future, keep it. When the Down to the Countryside Movement is over, it will be valuable."

Zhou Rong looked at the beautiful stone, then at Wang Yue. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay? I'll listen to you and collect it. I'll collect some more in the future. If I can really sell them for money in the future, I'll give you half of them. Isn't that good enough?"

How could Wang Yue take Zhou Rong's money for nothing? He waved his hand and refused firmly, "No need. What you collected is of course yours."

Zhou Rong had no idea how much this thing was worth, so she said nonchalantly, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known it was valuable. This will be your information fee.

If you think it's valuable, I can also spend money to buy this kind of stone there, but I don't have enough money, so I need your support."

Seeing that the two were being humble, Zheng Juan said helplessly, "Hurry up and eat. We don't know when the Up to the Countryside Movement will end. Even if you two want to discuss cooperation, you have to finish your meal first."

Wang Yue nodded and said to Zhou Rong very seriously, "Zhou Rong, I'm afraid this kind of life will last a long time, but it will end one day. You can live by collecting stones. Imagine that once the Up to the Countryside Movement is over, your net worth may exceed one million. Aren't you excited?"

Seeing Wang Yue's serious look, Zhou Rong knew that he was encouraging her, so she quickly nodded seriously.

However, she also understood that these stones might really be valuable, and she made up her mind to bring Wang Yue along to make money together.

Only if you have money can you do scientific research!

……

Zheng Juan really wasn't joking. She brought over two bowls of dumplings because she was worried that Zhou Rong was hungry. It wasn't good to let Zhou Rong eat all by herself, so she gave some to Wang Yue as well.

Don't think that Zhou Rong is a girl and can be full with a small bowl of dumplings. After all, she lives in the countryside in that era and has a big appetite. That small bowl of dumplings can only make her not feel hungry.

Zheng Juan worked for nearly an hour and finally cooked several of her signature dishes. The few of them ate and chatted while she greeted Zhou Rong warmly.

Zhou Rong felt the atmosphere here and was very envious, but she had foolishly chosen Guizhou at the beginning, and it was too late to regret now.
