80 widows in the control group, eating melons and raising cubs are poor and happy

Cuihua avoided the sight of others and went home quietly.

Since she decided to leave, she believed in Bai Liu and didn't want to cause trouble to them in the future, so she had to be careful.

Bailiu's family of three also packed up and went to the county.

As the New Year approaches, many people come and go from the brigade, commune and county. They have worked hard for a year, and what they are looking forward to is the New Year. If possible, they should make new clothes, and if not, they should eat well.

They ignored the curious and inquisitive gazes of outsiders, and only breathed a sigh of relief when there were fewer people on the road.

Tangdou sat on the back seat of Song Jiaying's bicycle and pouted: "They are so strange, am I so pitiful? It seems like you are about to get divorced."

Bai Liu couldn't help teasing her: "What if we really get divorced, will you follow your father or your mother?"

This is a question that has been extremely difficult to answer since ancient times. Tangdou snorted, turned his head and said nothing.

How childish.

"You must follow me. You can see that Tangdou has grown taller with me." Song Jiaying said quite proudly.

Bai Liu sneered: "Just blow it."

Tangdou suddenly interjected: "Then I'd better stay with mom. Daddy can come back and find us."

Perhaps the impact of Song Jiaying's sudden disappearance and reappearance on Tangdou last time will last for a long time, but in Tangdou's heart, she insists that her father will not abandon them.

It's probably the confidence that comes from being pampered and favored.

Song Jiaying nodded immediately: "Of course." No matter how much he said, it was hard to say much.

Bai Liu didn't delve into this topic, they didn't want Tangdou to know something.

After all, children with worried parents are different from children without parents. The contrast between Fubao and Tangdou is not obvious, but the contrast with Cuihua is extremely strong.

Cuihua needs to worry about herself all the time, even if all she wants is to grow up safely or have a little warmth from her parents, she can't get it.

On the other hand, Jelly Bean seems to have a natural sense of security.

"Mom," Tangdou suddenly thought of something, turned around and chirped, "Mom, can you accompany me to the supply and marketing cooperative later? I want to buy something for Cuihua."

Bai Liu was slightly startled. Did Tangdou buy something for Cuihua?

The sun was really shining in the west. Tangdou was a little money-lover, and he wasn't stingy. He just had a plan for the money he earned and pocket money, and he would save money to buy more important things.

Today I offered to take her to the supply and marketing cooperative, then——

"Are you paying for it?" She teased Tangdou with a smile, "What are you buying? Do Mom and Dad have a share?"

Humph, you can't be partial.

Tangdou asked in surprise: "Did Mom and Dad also lack shoes?" She realized that she had not explained clearly, "Yesterday I slept with Cuihua and found that she had no cotton shoes and the socks inside were full of holes."

Her voice became lower and lower: "Cuihua only has one pair of socks. She washes them and hangs them by the kang at night, and she has to wear them again in the morning."

Cuihua's lifestyle and details seemed incredible to Tangdou. Apart from the confusion at the beginning, she became sad later.

Bai Liu didn't say anything. She really didn't pay attention to these things before.

Tangdou gestured: "I have socks. I can give them to her in the name of not wearing them anymore, but her feet are bigger than mine. I have compared them, but my shoes Cuihua can't wear them."

"Although I don't know what Cuihua will do in the future, I hope she has a pair of shoes that fit well and are warm."

Children who have been bathed in warmth and sunshine since childhood have never been stingy in providing warmth and help to others. Tangdou even considered Cuihua's psychological thoughts, so he planned to use his own money instead of his parents' money.This is friendship.

"Okay, I'll give it to you later. Your mother has other things to do." Song Jiaying directly agreed to Tangdou, "What about you, do you have anything else to buy? I'll buy it together."

He changed the subject calmly: "The New Year's goods that we prepared for the New Year should not be much different. Let's go and take a look, just in case there are new things in the next few days."

"Then buy some food that can be easily stored, just in case I take it with me when I return to the capital." Bai Liu thought Song Jia should be able to understand her words.

Buying it for her is just an excuse, the real purpose is to prepare it for Cuihua.

"Well, let's split up then." Song Jia agreed, "Let's go, see you in the evening."

While they were talking, they had already arrived in the county. Bai Liu went straight to the old textile factory area. She needed to meet Gao Yongchang and Xiang Guilan.

As soon as he entered Gao Yongchang's office, he saw Xiang Guilan inside. What a coincidence.

"Just in time, we are talking about you." Xiang Guilan smiled when she saw Bai Liu.

We had been apart for more than half a year, during which we talked on the phone and sent letters several times, but seeing them in person was very different.

"Changed, I think you have changed." Xiang Guilan's eyes were full of surprise.

Bai Liu pouted: "I think you have changed too, tell me, is there any good thing?"

Gao Yongchang smiled and said: "There must be good things. Guilan's husband has to change his job, and the couple can finally spend the New Year with their children this year, but there is one more thing."

Xiang Guilan smiled and said, "So this matter is about you."

"Me?" Bai Liu pointed at himself, confused.

"The general environment has relaxed this year. Last year, the Hong Kong City delegation visited the mainland for nearly a month and did not come to our northeast. I happened to be on a business trip in the south and accompanied them for a few days." Gao Yongchang took a deep breath, with joy in his tone. , "During the symposium, someone mentioned our Red Star Textile Factory. A few days ago we went to the province for a meeting, and the province informed us that Hong Kong businessmen intended to invite us to inspect and discuss cooperation."

Bai Liu really didn't expect that the good thing about going abroad for inspection would be the turn of Red Star Textile Factory.

Since last year, there has been a significant increase in the number of foreign and overseas delegations, but they prefer to go to big cities and carry special meanings.

Compared with the superior geographical conditions of the South, the Northeast does not have an advantage.

"I don't think you will refuse." She was determined.

The main business of Hongxing Textile Factory in recent years has been foreign trade, and speaking more broadly, earning foreign exchange will be a major event for the entire country in the future, and foreign exchange reserves are too important.

Whether it's a mission from a superior or considering the future of Red Star, of course I have to go.

"Yes," Gao Yongchang and Xiang Guilan looked at each other, and then said, "but we need your help."

Bai Liu had a guess in his mind.

"We have to speak Cantonese and English when we go to Hong Kong City. We don't feel comfortable using outsiders, and they don't understand our specific situation." Xiang Guilan said, remembering the previous inquiry letter from the Beijing Friendship Store, "Where are you at the Beijing Friendship Store? , he should have met many foreign guests, so he is the most suitable candidate."

Bai Liu really didn't plan to tell this about finding a job before, but Li Jianguo took the initiative to say that he knew her resume, so why should she hide it.

This was also mentioned in subsequent correspondence.

"I'm still in school after all—" She couldn't guarantee what surprises would happen in the next few months.

Gao Yongchang waved his hand: "Let me tell you in advance that you are from our Red Star Textile Factory, and this will not change."

Bai Liu suddenly realized that this was tying her tightly to this ship.
