Sun Limei went back and told her husband about her visit to the Xu family. She also told her impression of Su Anhua.
Li Bingzhuo was very happy when he heard that Su Anhua was not bad.
The couple has always loved their younger son. Since the younger son is optimistic about her, as long as the girl is good, they should try their best to make her happy.
I'll mention what needs to be mentioned, and the next step is to wait for a reply from the Xu family.
On the other side, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying returned home from get off work, and were called over by Zhou Guilan. In front of Su Anhua, they told what happened to the Li family.
"Hua'er, this is your marriage, you make the decision yourself.
What about Xiao Li? He often comes to our house and you have seen him. What do you think of this guy? Is that okay?
If it works, ask your brother-in-law to call the camp, and your parents will come over sometime and take a look for themselves."
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan are all relatives by marriage, not parents. They can't decide on the important matter of marriage. They have to invite Mr. and Mrs. Su Weizhong to come.
Su Anhua was dumbfounded now. How could she have imagined that Li Chengrong would fall in love with her?
"Auntie, can you let me think about it? This is too sudden."
Su Anhua was confused and didn't know what to say.
She had met Li Chengrong many times, and she even called him a nerd in private. She had a good impression of the young man, but she had never thought about it elsewhere.
In fact, Su Anhua knew what her father meant by sending the sisters to Donggang, he just wanted them to find a partner here.
Su Anhua had no objection to this. Don't women have to get married sooner or later? No one can stay at home for a lifetime without going out.
The second sister is in Donggang, and they have a good relationship with each other. It would be great if they could be closer to the second sister in the future.
Li Chengrong was a worker at the site, receiving a salary and a red card, which she had not dared to think about before.
But if it can really happen, wouldn’t it be great? When I go back and talk about it, my parents’ faces will also be bright.
However, the Li family is a working-class family, and Li Chengrong’s father is still the farm director. Is this threshold too high?
Is she a high achiever? Will Li's family look down on her? If she marries into such a family, will she be looked down upon in the future?
The eighteen-year-old girl had hopes for the future for the first time, and she was also full of confusion. She couldn't figure it out.
"Yes, yes, you must think about it carefully. It's okay. The Li family has said that they will wait for news from us.
Just think about it carefully and tell your sister when you think about it."
Zhou Guilan can understand Su Anhua's mood. It's normal for the girl's family to feel uneasy when they encounter a life-long event.
Su Anhua didn't sleep all night, flipping over and over making pancakes, and woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
Before Xu Shiyan and his wife went to work, I told them that Xu Shiyan should make a call to Daying.
Life is inherently full of unknowns. Whoever you marry is a gamble. At least you can find someone who likes you, and you have a better chance of winning.
Knowing Su Anhua's thoughts, Xu Shiyan called Daying when he went to work.
I still asked them to find Su Weizhong and tell him the phone number here so that Su Weizhong could call back at his convenience.
Coincidentally, Su Weizhong happened to be having a meeting in the commune, and the person who answered the phone found him directly.
Su Weizhong called back directly and learned about his little girl.
Sure enough, as Xu Shiyan expected, when he heard that there was no news about Lao Wu, but someone was interested in Lao Liu, Su Weizhong couldn't help but sigh, what is this?
Forget it, don't worry about that. If Lao Liu can meet such a good family, he must hurry up and there can be no delay.
So Su Weizhong made an agreement with Xu Shiyan that they would go to Donggang on July 23rd, which is the day after tomorrow.
It's Sunday, July 24th. I hope the father and son of the Li family can have time to see each other.
After receiving his father-in-law's reply, Xu Shiyan quickly notified the Li family. Li Chengrong was extremely happy when he heard the news.
"Okay, you're not a pretty boy either. Go get a haircut and tidy it up quickly. Your hair is already very long. Are you going to meet your partner like this?"
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the technical team has been very busy. I guess Li Chengrong hasn't had a haircut in a while and is indeed a bit sloppy.
When Xu Shiyan saw this, he had to remind him.
"Hey, I got it, I'll go right away." Li Chengrong agreed, turned around and ran away.
I went to the employee bathhouse to take a shower and get my hair cut, and I felt very energetic.
This is all Xu Shiyan can do. The follow-up has nothing to do with him. He still has many things to be busy with.
Work has begun on the ginseng field on the mountain. Two days ago, workers had gone up with brush cutters to cut down all the shrubs and weeds.
Mechanization is faster than manual labor. Twenty thousand feet of land are cut by humans. How many years will it take to finish the work?
It's different with a brush cutter, the work is much faster.
Shrubs and weeds are easy to clear, but large tree stumps left behind by logging are more laborious.
Without pulling out the tree roots, neither the tractor nor the rotary tiller can be used.
The ginseng field of the first ginseng field is already deep in the Caozi River, not too far from the protected area. The trees here are very thick, and the stumps left after felling are also very thick.
For a slightly smaller tree stump, use a big ax to cut off the surrounding tree roots, and several people work together to pry it off with crowbars.
This will not work for larger tree roots. The manpower is not that great, so explosives must be used to blow them up.
In the 1970s, ammonium nitrate and sawdust were mostly used to make explosives.
In the 1980s, finished explosives became available. For personal use of explosives, one had to go to the police station to pay for a certificate and then go to the explosive depot to pick up the explosives.
Donggang Commune has an explosives depot in Nanshan, also known as the south of Fortress Mountain.
There is also an explosives depot in Yishenchang, about four kilometers away from the east end.
There is no need to go to the police station to use explosives at the venue. You can just go directly to the explosives depot to pick up the explosives with a letter of introduction and other documents.
All the tree stumps in the ginseng field that could be pried up by hand were all pried off. The remaining ones that were really immovable had to be dug under the stumps.
Find a day with good weather, load the explosives, detonators, fuses, etc. in a unified manner, then clear away the people around the field, and arrange for people to light the fuses.
This job is not easy. The amount of explosive is too small to blow up the tree stump.
The amount of explosives is too much, and the explosive power is too strong and it is easy to cause accidents.
When loading explosives, the detonator and fuse must be connected properly. If the detonator is not inserted, it will become a squib.
The explosives, detonators, and fuses are connected, covered with oil paper, and soil is compacted on top.
If the soil pressure is not solid enough, we will fire the cannon, which will not blow up the tree stumps.
Therefore, this is a very dangerous job and must be done by experienced hands.
The technical team was not responsible for this, but on July 23rd, Xu Shiyan still came up the mountain.
"Counsellor Xu, why are you here on the mountain? It's very dangerous to use explosives to lift tree roots on the mountain today.
You, a young man like you, don’t know anything, why are you running here? Isn’t this causing trouble?”
Several older workers looked at Xu Shiyan and said with curled lips.
