Chapter 140 A rare opportunity
Now, Gu Zhiqiang's thinking has also been opened.

If this is the case, they will only have to rely on these few people to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and each time they send one or two people out, they will carry one or two bags of herbs to the provincial capital.

This was far from enough, and this time he went out with Qi Bin, and his daughter also gave him a few books.

In addition to those related to medicinal materials, there are also those related to market economy. To be honest, at the beginning, Gu Zhiqiang was only confused by the text content.

But he was willing to learn and didn't want to let his daughter down, so he studied very seriously, and especially asked Qi Bin for help when he encountered something he didn't understand.

Qi Bin also patiently taught Gu Zhiqiang step by step, and because of this the two of them had a very pleasant time getting along with each other.

Even Gu Zhiqiang's defensive and rebellious mentality became less intense, and he began to think that maybe having such a capable son-in-law was not a bad thing?
At least Qi Bin has the ability to provide his daughter with a better life, and the young man's character is trustworthy.

Of course, the premise is that their Wanwan is outstanding enough and deserves to be treated well by others.

Before returning, Gu Zhiqiang thought about it seriously, and then went to the brigade headquarters to discuss with his cousin and several other people. If the Red Flag Brigade cooperated with people from surrounding brigades, they might be able to accomplish something bigger.

It is no longer the early 1950s and 1960s. After entering the 1970s, many places have liberalized their economies a lot, but Yangjiang is just located in a remote area and the environment is backward.

In fact, not to mention far away, even in the communes around the provincial capital, I heard that some brigades have set up their own factories.

Secretary Zhao of their Red Flag Brigade is also a man of courage. In fact, he was the first one to propose giving the Red Flag Brigade overt support to Gu Zhiqiang.

Secretary Zhao once had a private conversation with Gu Zhiqiang and felt that if the ideas he proposed could be successfully implemented, it would be beneficial to the development of the Hongqi Brigade and even the entire Yongfeng Commune.

Maybe at the beginning it was just an action by a few people in the Red Flag Brigade, like a small workshop. Wouldn't it be expanded to a large scale later?

Secretary Zhao has actually already hinted at this idea. He also hopes that each brigade under the commune can develop better, and establishing their own factories to provide villagers with more options is one of them.

Now that these have been officially implemented, Gu Zhiqiang sees hope.

Once the factory is established, they will not be in a remote mountain village, and the county, city, and even the provincial capital may provide support and assistance.

As a result, Gu Zhiqiang told Qi Bin all these words, but Qi Bin told him that this was precisely why they could not simply add more people to the village.

"Uncle San, it's a good thing that you have this determination, but have you ever thought about it? If you really want to build a factory and recruit people, you must be more formal, and after the factory is built, there will definitely be more people coming to you.

What will you do then? Will you recruit people from the entire Red Flag Battalion or even the battalion next door?
Can you eat it?"

Qi Bin's words enlightened Gu Zhiqiang and he realized that studying is indeed the best way to go.

Look how thoughtful Qi Bin is. If it really comes to building a factory, it won't be just a matter for a few people like them to play around.

Gu Zhiqiang's fiery mind suddenly cooled down. "I was wrong, Binbin, you are really thoughtful. I will discuss this with the captain and the others later to see if we can come up with a specific set of rules."

Gu Wan pointed out a shortcut for him: "Dad, you can go to Secretary Zhao for advice. First of all, he is a senior leader with rich experience and can handle these problems better than you.

Secondly, this matter has been cleared up by the commune, so you can get clear support from the commune when you want to do things in the future."

Gu Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly and kept praising their eldest daughter, saying that she was smart and capable.

"Wanwan, it's all thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise Dad would have meant well but ended up with a bad result." He completely forgot that the person he just praised was Qi Bin, and it was also Qi Bin who gave him advice from the very beginning.

Qi Bin didn't care at all about having his credit taken away. He helped Gu Zhiqiang just to please his future father-in-law. All the credit for what he did should have belonged to Wanwan.

What made Qi Bin more resentful was that Gu Zhiqiang had made up his mind to temporarily reject the villagers and wait for him to seek advice from the team leader and Secretary Zhao first.

However, many people in the village still refused to give up and some even planned to take a side route and ask for mercy from the old couple Gu Mingfeng and Shi Guixiang.

Even Dong Xiu'e, Huang Chunlan, Qiao Yuemei and others were asked to persuade their husbands.

As a result, there were people visiting the old Gu family every day these days, so after Qi Bin confirmed his relationship with Comrade Gu Wan, he went on a long trip.

Then, because there were too many outsiders, the two of them couldn't find a chance to be alone.

In the past, Qi Bin just wanted to see Gu Wan every day, so he made excuses to stay in the countryside to recuperate.

But now the relationship between the two has changed. People are greedy, and Qi Bin certainly wants more.

He didn't have the courage to do that, like holding hands or taking things a step further, but he had very few opportunities to talk to Gu Wan alone.

This is really depressing. Qi Bin almost collapsed and even regretted helping his future father-in-law come up with such an idea.

Then, on this rare day, Qi Bin got up and found that there was no one in the yard.

After checking the time, he realized that he had gone to bed late because he was worried, so naturally he got up late the next day.

At this time, the Gu family had already finished breakfast and went about their business, including Huang Chunlan, who was going to work as a temporary worker in the commune. She helped the old lady carry buckets of water to the private plot to water the vegetable field.

So, apart from Gu Shan's wife who was sleeping with the child in the room, Gu Wan and Qi Bin were the only ones left in the entire yard.

This was a rare opportunity, so Qi Bin walked up to him and said, "Wanwan, shall we go out for a walk together?"

Gu Wan smiled, met Qi Bin's somewhat apprehensive but more expectant gaze, and said, "Just taking a walk?"

Qi Bin was stunned. What else could he do?

Seeing his silly look, Gu Wan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Although he didn't understand what Wanwan was laughing at, being able to make a beautiful woman smile was a skill, so Qi Bin laughed along with her.

So the two of them walked out of the Gu family's yard side by side, because Gu Wan had to go to the commune's small kitchen to work later and couldn't go too far.

So the two of them just wandered around the village. In fact, not to mention Qi Bin, Gu Wan was also very happy.

Since she agreed to date Qi Bin, she naturally had a good impression of him, so she was happy that the two of them had the opportunity to spend time together in private.

For some reason, when she saw Qi Bin at this moment, Gu Wan suddenly thought of a disgusting person in her mind, so she suddenly asked:

"If we get married in the future, should Qi Yuanhang call me aunt?"
