In early October, Liu Hongyi took a leave of absence and returned to Yanggou Farm.

He came back to eat fish and rabbit meat.

Haha, of course I was joking. I mainly came back to visit my parents and Ai Xiaoyu.

In addition, there is another good news to bring to Huang Anping.

Before returning, Liu Hongyi called the cadre school first.

He now works at Factory 576, which is close to the cadre school. He only needs to transfer the call through the switchboard once to make a phone call, which is more convenient than when he was in Daning.

It was also a coincidence that the cadre school happened to be fishing and killing rabbits on that day to improve the food.

Liu Chuan instructed the kitchen and invested money.

The fish is steamed with green onions, ginger and soy sauce, and it smells delicious.

The rabbit meat is braised with a lot of oil.

Because rabbit meat is extremely low in fat (less than 3 grams per 100 grams), and is incredibly high in protein, it was a top-rated nutritious and healthy food in later generations, when nutrition was abundant.

But in this day and age, rabbit meat without oil or water just doesn’t taste right.

So we made braised rabbit meat, with lots of oil and salt, and filled several large pots. The aroma of the braised meat could be smelled from far away.

The entire Yanggou Farm was filled with the joyful atmosphere of a bountiful harvest.

Ai Xiaoyu knew that Liu Hongyi was coming back, so she dressed herself up early, tied her hair into a ponytail, and asked Chen Aiping for some of her treasured snow cream, which she applied on her face. Her pretty little face looked even whiter and smelled of a fresh fragrance.

Even Chen Aiping was stunned. Smiling, she took her hand, looked her up and down, and exclaimed in admiration: "Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful... What does the book say? I feel pity for you when I see you."

Ai Xiaoyu blushed immediately, stamped her feet lightly, and said angrily: "Sister Pingping, you are making fun of me again..."

"No, no, absolutely not."

"Oh, the book says it right, 'A man will die for his best friend, and a woman will dress up to please her.' It's absolutely true. Hehe, my little rain is the most beautiful."

Chen Aiping joked.

During this time, the two of them lived and ate together. Chen Aiping also accepted Ai Xiaoyu as her student. After a few months, their relationship became as close as sisters. Aside from Xiao Yawen, Ai Xiaoyu and Chen Aiping were the closest.

Ai Xiaoyu was very shy.

Chen Aiping suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Xiaoyu, I've hidden a dress in my suitcase. How about I put it on you? When Liu Hongyi comes back, I guarantee he won't even blink when he sees it."

Ai Xiaoyu's heart was pounding, and she didn't care about being shy anymore. She tilted her head and thought carefully, but finally shook her head with great regret and said in a low voice: "No, I'm afraid of gossip..."

Chen Aiping just said this. These days, who dares to wear a dress, especially one with small floral patterns?

We can't afford to make that kind of mistake.

Liu Hongyi returned to the cadre school wearing a brand new grass-green military uniform, except for the hat and collar badges. The uniform fit him perfectly, making his already tall figure look even more handsome.

"Liu Hongyi..."

Ai Xiaoyu, who had been waiting near the message room and pretending to read and study, was the first to greet him, and she couldn't help but jump a little when she walked.

"Xiaoyu, it's so beautiful today."

Liu Hongyi's eyes lit up and he praised sincerely.

"Just, you just talk nonsense..."

Ai Xiaoyu's pretty face turned red. She lowered her head to look at her toes, and her white teeth gently bit her lower lip.

Liu Hongyi laughed heartily and said, "Let's go to the clinic. I brought you a gift."

"Really……"

At this moment, Ai Xiaoyu's heart began to pound.

When they arrived at their small dormitory in the clinic, Chen Aiping was very "sensible" and waited outside to give them a "private space".

Liu Hongyi took out a bottle of cold cream, a black hairpin with a small bow, a small pink round mirror, a small white handkerchief with floral patterns, and a black leather diary from his shoulder bag.

He bought this from the supply and marketing cooperative of Factory 576.

These days, the supply and marketing cooperatives only sell this kind of "jewelry".

It has become the most favorite gift for girls.

"Yeah, so many?"

Ai Xiaoyu was stunned.

A bottle of vanishing cream was enough to make her happy.

"Oh, these are the only things the supply and marketing cooperative sells. I can't find anything else..."

"Tuhao Liu" pretended to be so.

Before he knew it, Liu Hongyi had been working in the Third Institute for several months. He had received three consecutive months' salary, plus the settling-in allowance. After deducting the expenses of these months, he still had more than 100 yuan in his pocket, dozens of kilograms of food coupons and other tickets, which could be considered as a "small fortune".

I didn't pay for this new military uniform. It was given to me by the research institute.

Including the shirt inside, all were issued by the research institute.

The research institute gave him two sets of such clothes and two pairs of Liberation shoes.

Old Duan gave him everything he could, and took extremely good care of him.

After all, master and disciple Tan Dexi have won a lot of honor for the three schools this time.

Project 130, Project 35 Automatic Grenade, and Project 40 Gun-Mounted Grenade all passed the acceptance inspection by their superiors, and when they were reported, they were all in the name of their three institutes.

Duan Weimin made a good showing in front of his superiors. The senior leader of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense patted him on the shoulder, praised him sincerely, and made it clear that the Commission would commend the three of them, at least a collective second-class merit. A general commendation was also necessary.

After two years of silence, the three institutes have made a big splash this time, and Old Duan is back on his feet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Weimin has already brought back a senior researcher who went to a neighboring province, and his former leader has also promised to find a way to bring back several other key technical personnel.

This is what Duan Weimin really cares about the most.

Without the support of these technical backbones, Lao Duan felt guilty and had no confidence at all.

I have to endure Tan Dexi’s bad temper!

Once we get the team back together, hehe, Lao Duan will show you all something!

"You don't have to buy so many things for me..."

Ai Xiaoyu's eyes were shining with infinite joy, but she pretended to "complain" with her mouth.

"How much will this cost?"

"It doesn't cost much, it's all pretty cheap, just over three dollars, less than four dollars in total."

"It's still more than three yuan, less than four yuan. My father's monthly living expenses are only twenty-six and fifty yuan..."

Liu Hongyi looked at her beautiful little face and said seriously, "Xiaoyu, don't keep thinking like that. I guess it won't be long before Uncle Ai can implement the policy."

Today is October 7th, right?

Liu Hongyi remembers this date very clearly.

It’s just that because the Northern Capital is too far away and there are particularly few channels for information dissemination at this stage, no one in Chuzhou, where “the sky is high and the emperor is far away”, knows about it for the time being.
