After a few people came out, they inquired about the location of the Food Corporation, which was near the place where they exchanged gold at the bank last time. The road didn't require any turns, just a straight walk along Taipingqiao Street to get there. It was about 4 li away, so Yang Guangzhi led the way with the others.
As they walked, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said to Yang Guangzhi, "Dad, I feel like it's best not to tell Uncle about Mom's job."
“Why? I'm not borrowing money from him,” Yang Guangzhi said, feeling puzzled.
Yang Xiaole shook his head, "Dad, think about it. If you tell him, then do you have to tell him about borrowing money? If you tell him, will he think that you're borrowing money from him? If you borrow from him, he doesn't have that much money, and Uncle is getting married. If you don't borrow from him and let your little brother carry so much debt, will he feel guilty? Even if Uncle has money, or gets the money from somewhere else, what will he do when your two younger brothers come to him for help finding a job or borrowing money? Yang Guangping can ignore it, but if Old Master goes to Uncle for Fourth Brother's sake, what will he do? After all, they are also brothers."
Yang Guangzhi pondered for a moment, feeling conflicted.
"What should I do? If he asks about it later, what should I say?"
"What's so hard to say? Just tell the truth. If he finds out after it's done, then tell him. Just say that you came to see your big brother today and brought back documents for him."
After hearing his words, Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju looked at each other and discussed it.
Yang Xiaole didn't say anything more.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Food Corporation. With the sub-district office's seal, the process was quick, and the seal was stamped in less than an hour.
They left the large courtyard and arrived at the main street inside Fuxingmen. This was a road that led to the Flag-raising Square all the way to the textile factory, an extension of Chang'an Street.
Standing at the bus stop by the roadside, Yang Guangzhi thought for a moment and finally followed Yang Xiaole's advice.
He instructed the others, "When we go to Big Brother's place later, don't mention anything about work."
We can't make things difficult for Big Brother!
Everyone agreed.
Yang Xiaole nodded lightly, and when the car arrived, he led the others onto the bus.
As Yang Guangzhi reluctantly paid the bus fare of a few cents, everyone quietly waited for the bus to depart.
Thirteen kilometers of road.
They made several stops along the way, and it took half an hour to finally arrive at the entrance of the textile factory.
After getting off the bus, they curiously looked at the entrance of the textile factory, where trucks were coming and going.
"Xiaole, go and ask where your Uncle is," Yang Guangzhi said as he lit a dried tobacco and instructed him.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole went to the guard room.
Before long, a voice came through the factory horn, "Yang Guangchun from the logistics department, Yang Guangchun from the logistics department, someone is looking for you at the gate, someone is looking for you, please come to the guard room."
Yang Guangzhi looked at the calling through the horn, not surprised. The village's horn wasn't working properly, but it was often heard in the commune and the mines. Wang Qiuju was the only one who was curious and looked around.
After about ten minutes, Yang Guangchun came out in a gray Lenin suit.
Seeing the group, he was very happy, "Guangzhi, Qiuju, why are you here? Xiaogang, Xiaole."
Finally, he greeted Yang Xiaole and the others.
"Big Brother (Uncle)~"
Everyone greeted him.
Yang Guangzhi took a puff of his cigarette and smiled at him, "We came to see Xiaogang today and brought back his documents to process, so he doesn't have to run around."
Hearing this, Yang Guangchun smiled and waved, "Come, follow me inside. It's almost lunchtime, let's eat first."
Everyone followed him inside.
What they saw inside was a row of tall factory buildings, all looking similar, with various buildings orderly arranged inside.
There was the sound of machines roaring inside.
Through the gate, they could see female workers wearing aprons and white caps working inside.
As they walked, Yang Guangchun said to Yang Guangzhi, "I was planning to bring Hongying to our house this Sunday, so you can meet her!"
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi took the cigarette, knocked the dried tobacco on the cement ground, and then lit the cigarette.
"Big Brother, when are you and Sister-in-law getting married?"
"We got our marriage certificate the day before yesterday, and I'm planning to take her home to meet Dad the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi nodded lightly and asked, "Are you sure you're not having a wedding?"
"No, we're not. I had dinner with my comrades last night."
Hearing him say this, Yang Guangzhi didn't ask any further.
They followed him to the canteen, which was labeled as Canteen No. 3.
The canteen didn't look big, but for such a large factory, it seemed quite small. However, the building was well decorated, with a pure cement structure and many glass windows on the walls, which was considered high-class in those days.The canteen is basically the same as the restaurants outside.
There are twenty tables in the hall, and there is also a second floor.
Yang Guangchun came to the canteen to get food, took out money and food coupons, and shouted at the window, "Master Liu, give me some dishes, my brother is here."
In the kitchen, a fat man in a chef's uniform was smoking.
Hearing this, he smiled and walked over.
"Chief Yang! What would you like to eat?"
Yang Guangchun looked down at the food and smiled, "Alright, give me a portion of braised tofu, a pound of braised pork, more chicken for me, and a braised eggplant. I didn't bring a lunchbox, so please help me with some bowls and chopsticks, and also three pounds of rice."
"Alright, coming right up."
The fat man threw the cigarette on the ground and started cooking.
Yang Guangzhi saw this and urged in a low voice, "Brother, don't cook too much."
"It's okay, only meat and grain need coupons, the rest don't. You guys are here, so you should have something to eat!"
In no time, the other party brought a large porcelain bowl, filled with braised tofu, braised pork, and eggplant.
He also filled a basin with braised chicken.
And a basin of braised eggplant.
Yang Guangchun paid the money and coupons, and a few people carried the food to the nearby table.
"Alright, eat up, I'll go get a bottle of liquor!"
After saying that, he turned and went to the bar to get a bottle of liquor and two wine cups.
After Yang Guangzhi came over, he asked awkwardly, "Brother, is the food here always this good?"
Before Yang Guangchun could answer, Xiaogang next to him spoke up, "Dad, this is the cadres' canteen, we have one in our factory too, and there should be private rooms on the second floor!"
Yang Guangchun nodded with a smile, "Yes, but the private rooms on the second floor are for the section chief and other leaders. I rarely go up there."
The implication was that he could go, but he didn't want to.
After saying that, he stood up and said to the others, "Alright, you guys eat, don't be fooled by the fact that it's already prepared. This is cooked on a small stove and tastes good. I'll go get Hongying to meet you."
He poured a glass of wine for Yang Guangzhi and then left directly.
The remaining people sat there somewhat awkwardly.
Before long, people came over to eat.
............
In that small house
The lights were flashing
A young textile girl sat by the window
She was young and beautiful
With brown eyes
And golden braids hanging on her shoulders
Her clever mind was pondering deeply
What are you fantasizing about, beautiful girl
............
As the song on the radio started playing, the factory suddenly became lively, and countless people came out of the workshop.
Several people were curiously watching this scene through the glass window.
Wang Qiuju looked outside and saw mostly women, and said to Yang Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, why don't you let your uncle find you a match in the city?"
Xiaogang was originally looking outside.
When he heard this, his face turned red, and he turned his head without daring to look outside.
Seeing his expression, Wang Qiuju smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about! You're a city person now, why can't you find a city girl?"
Before long, many people came into the hall, all wearing leadership clothes, completely different from the workers.
Twenty minutes later, Yang Guangchun finally brought a girl in her twenties.
Yang Xiaole saw this and exclaimed, "Old cow eating tender grass!"
The girl was quite good-looking, about 1.6 meters tall, and had a slender figure.
But her two little cheeks had some frostbite, red.
It was probably from the northern country, and it was hard to recover.
Seeing the two of them coming over, everyone stood up one after another.
When they came closer, Yang Guangchun said to everyone, "Sit down first, there are a lot of people here now."
Everyone sat down at his words.
After everyone sat down, Yang Guangchun also sat down and said, "Hongying, this is my brother Guangzhi, this is my sister-in-law Wang Qiuju, and these two are my nephews, Xiaogang you've met, and that's Xiaole."
Then he introduced Yang Guangzhi, "Guangzhi, this is Qian Hongying, she's from Henan, and joined the army at 13."
"Ah, sister-in-law~"

Yang Guangzhi and the others nodded in greeting.
Although she was very young, Yang Guangzhi still had to call her sister-in-law.
Qian Hongying looked at everyone and smiled, "Let's eat first, are you all hungry? We can talk while we eat."
"Yes, let's eat first!"
Yang Guangchun said to everyone, "Come on, Guangzhi, let's go for a walk, don't go back tonight. You guys stay here for a few days, and we'll go back together the day after tomorrow."
Yang Guangzhi was a bit hesitant, "Brother, we need to go back as soon as possible. The tasks in the commune are heavy now, and it's very difficult to take leave. We must go back today."
Hearing this, Yang Guangchun sighed.
Indeed, the village is very busy now, and he knows that.
In the end, he could only nod helplessly, "Then when I go back, can you come back? I'll stay at home for a morning, if it's really not possible, then forget it."
After thinking about it, Yang Guangzhi finally nodded."I'll try to make a trip back."
"Ah, good, let's eat, let's eat."
Yang Guangchun cheerfully called out to the few people around him.
The cadre canteen was indeed different, generous with oil and seasonings, and it looked like the dishes were prepared by a master chef.
Much tastier than the village canteen.
The group chatted while they ate their meal.
Yang Xiaole was eating when he noticed a fat man looking over suspiciously.
He looked up.
It was Fat Ma.
Their eyes met, but neither said anything. Fat Ma went to get his food, while Yang Xiaole continued to lower his head and eat his chicken.
