Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 1207 Current Situation of the Production Team

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Mingxuan sent Liu Jingxue home.

Originally, they wanted to keep Liu Jingxue for dinner before going back, but considering that it was too late at that time and Zhou Mingxuan appearing at the doorstep of a single woman's home would be bad for her reputation, they had no choice but to let her go back first.

Looking at Liu Jingxue who was sitting in the passenger seat with a relaxed look on her face, Zhou Mingxuan said,

"I told you not to be nervous, Grandpa, parents treat you much better than they treat me.

You have already exchanged letters so many times and are familiar with each other. There is no need to be nervous. "

Although getting along with these Zhou family members did not give Liu Jingxue too much sense of oppression, she did not admit it.

"Xiaoxue, you've also heard from grandpa, mom and dad that you should go home more often before school starts. Do you think that's okay?

After all, once school starts, even if you don’t have to go to class, it’s not a good idea to run home during school hours.

The main reason is that I am afraid that this matter will spread and have a bad impact."

Since I want to observe the Zhou family more and see if I can get along with them, I have to have more contact with them.

Hearing this, Liu Jingxue did not refuse, "Okay, then I'll make a few more trips during this period.

But next time, I'd better choose the weekend when Grandpa Zhou and his friends are resting, so that they don't delay their work just for me."

Seeing that Liu Jingxue agreed, how could Zhou Mingxuan not agree to some of her requests?

Because a photo was required to apply for a permanent pass, Zhou Mingxuan did not send her home directly, but drove to a photo studio to take the photo.

In addition to taking a solo photo of Liu Jingxue for her pass application, the two also took some group photos at Zhou Mingxuan's request.

For Liu Jingxue, who came from another time and space, taking photos with gay men is not a big deal.

However, this was the first time for Zhou Mingxuan to take a photo with his girlfriend. He was so excited that he didn't know how to position his hands and feet.

Fortunately, the photographer at this time will teach the people who come to take pictures how to pose, which saves the two of them a lot of trouble.

But after teaching them over and over again, they only teach those few moves.

After leaving the photo studio, Zhou Mingxuan complained, "It's not worth it to come to the photo studio to take pictures.

Moreover, the scenes are monotonous and all in black and white, which doesn't look very good.

I heard that foreign exchange stores now have a kind of camera that can take color photos. It only costs a few hundred yuan each, but it requires foreign exchange coupons.

Xiaoxue, do you think we should go buy a camera?"

"Now that I have a camera, I can take photos wherever I go. It's much more inconvenient," Zhou Mingxuan instigated.

Liu Jingxue glanced at him and said, "I remember you and Brother Zhao mentioned before that you seemed to have a camera?"

"Yes, there is one." Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "But it's black and white.

Because I had finished shooting all the films and hadn't bought a new one, but it wasn't appropriate to take it to the countryside, so it had been gathering dust at home.

The color one doesn’t look much better than the black and white one, so let’s just buy one.”

“We’re not short of money anyway.

In the past few years, the production team has expanded the scale of breeding, and Mingxuan and I have each saved several hundred yuan, almost a thousand yuan.

I did well in the college entrance examination and received a reward of more than a thousand yuan, while Junhao received three hundred less than me.

It is said that we will receive a monthly subsidy for going to university, so we don’t have to spend any money ourselves.”

"Let's buy one?" Zhou Mingxuan begged.

It is indeed a good idea to buy a color camera. Although I don’t like taking pictures very much, if I come across a scene that I like or find interesting, I would also like to take a picture of it as a souvenir.

"Then buy one." Liu Jingxue nodded, "But can you get foreign exchange certificates?"

Seeing Liu Jingxue agreed, Zhou Mingxuan said happily, "Foreign exchange certificates are not difficult to obtain, grandpa, parents and others will give them out every month.

Except for my mother who occasionally goes to the foreign exchange store, the other two don't need to do that at all, and the family has saved a lot.

Then I will buy the camera back some other day, and then I will take you around Beijing.

It’s been nearly two years, and the news of my breakup with you has been out for more than a year. Now you shouldn’t be keeping an eye on me and trying to find you through me.”

Although Liu Jingxue had visited the capital city many times in stealth mode, she had only taken a cursory look from the air and had never been there in person.

Besides, dating is all about going out, watching movies, and eating.

Liu Jingxue did not refuse.

"By the way, I haven't asked you about the college entrance examination results of the educated youth and villagers in the Red Star Production Team since you came back.

Do you think many of them will be admitted to university?"

Zhou Mingxuan thought about everyone's scores and said,

"Those educated youth who got the news in advance and reviewed in advance did well in the exam and had no problem getting into university, such as Zhou Wenbing, Feng Chunyan, and the two brothers Chen Guoqing and Zhang Pingan.

Tang Qiangjun and Qin Fang were just a little bit short, but they still had no problem getting into a technical secondary school.

As for Chen Jiaojiao, Zhong Zhiqing and Ning Zhiqing, they are no match for them and will definitely not pass the exam.

As for the villagers in the production team, there are also a few who can be admitted to universities or technical secondary schools.”

Counting the number of people in her mind, Liu Jingxue said with emotion, "This is already very good.

If you and Brother Zhao are included, there are quite a few people from the Red Star Production Team who have been admitted to university this time.

It looks like the production team is going to be famous this time!"

"The Red Star Production Team has long been famous for its good breeding, so there is no need to wait until this time.

Now the production team has three tractors, and almost every household has access to electricity.”

Zhou Mingxuan glanced at Liu Jingxue and said, "This is all thanks to you.

When I came back, the captain repeatedly told me to thank you on his behalf.

You know, many of the things I brought to you were prepared by the captain."

Liu Jingxue was a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything, I just came up with those recipes, how can it be my credit?

But now that you and Brother Zhao are back, what about sales?"

"Don't worry, the production team has signed long-term supply contracts with many companies, so there won't be any problems in the next few years.

Besides, the apprentices that Haozi and I brought up are no pushovers. We have taken them to Xi City several times and opened up some channels.

Now, as long as you have the goods, you don’t have to worry about sales, and as long as the price is not too outrageous, you can basically find the right one.”

Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Having worked in the Red Star Production Team for several years, I have developed some feelings for Liu Jingxue, and naturally hope that the production team will get better and better.

"The captain is planning to retire next year. The new captain has been selected and will start taking over the captain's job."

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly asked, "Who is the new captain?"

Glancing at Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan smiled and said, "You are very familiar with this person. He is the captain of your fourth team."

"Li Jun, Brother Li.

But he is still so young, can he convince the public?" Liu Jingxue was a little skeptical.

"She's already in her thirties, not young anymore.

Among all the cadres in the production team, apart from the secretary, he was the most suitable one.

But the secretary is also choosing his successor. "

"If it weren't for the feed formula issue, the captain would have to retire and hide in the army. I'm afraid the captain and the secretary would have quarreled over Li Jun.

After all, in terms of age, the secretary is three years older than the team leader, so if they are to retire, the secretary should retire first.”

"Who did the secretary choose as his successor?" Liu Jingxue asked curiously.

Zhou Mingxuan smiled, "The captain's eldest son.

Originally, the two sons of the team leader were going to be selected to work in the feed factory because they helped him prepare feed and knew some of the processes. However, the team leader didn't want people in the team to gossip, so he only allowed the second son to go and left the eldest son in the production team.

But the secretary said that the team leader's eldest son ran errands for his father every day and was familiar with some of the production team's affairs, so it would be easier to train him, so he was chosen.

In fact, it would be appropriate for the team leader to choose his eldest son as his successor. After all, although the eldest and second sons were not production team cadres, the team leader would always let them take charge when there was something going on.

But in order to avoid suspicion, the captain did not choose him as the eldest son. "

"This way, it will be a bargain for the secretary. He can spend less time on training and retire earlier."

Liu Jingxue also smiled. "This way, neither the captain nor Secretary Xu will suffer any loss. It's a win-win situation."

"That's true." Zhou Mingxuan nodded.

"Those female educated youth who married into the villagers' families didn't cause any trouble when the college entrance examination was resumed, right?"

Liu Jingxue was worried that there would be people in the production team who would abandon their husbands and children, wives and daughters in order to return to the city.

Zhou Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "The educated youth from the Red Star Production Team who married villagers were Liu Zhaodi, Jiang Yueyao, and Wu Jing.

Liu Zhaodi got married during the Spring Festival, and just two months after her marriage, the college entrance examination was announced to be resumed.

However, she did not take the college entrance examination, saying that she had only graduated from elementary school and did not meet the registration requirements.

As for Jiang Yueyao and Wu Jing, both of them are mothers of two or three children, so they did not participate this time.

As for whether I will participate in the future, I don’t know.”

Everyone has his or her own destiny, and others cannot interfere.

Liu Jingxue sighed, "I hope everyone will get better and better in the future, and don't do anything that you will regret later."
