"Go over there and perform well. The main thing is to learn skills and experience. I'm not worried about anything else. If you have any problems, find Brother Jianming. He's also going to the provincial capital this time. If there are any good apartments available, you should sell them, and then bring Nuonuo and Auntie to join you," Ji Xingmi instructed a long list of things.
When Aunt Chen heard that Jianming would also be going to the provincial capital, she first felt relieved. Then, thinking about the commune, she immediately asked, "If Jianming goes to work in the provincial capital, what about the commune?"
"Isn't there Uncle Village Chief?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Uncle Village Chief will take over Brother Jianming's position then."
"Heavens, Jian'gong, support me, my legs are a little weak!"
Qin Nuo and Cheng Ji'an quickly helped Aunt Chen and guided her to a chair. There were too many good news items today; Aunt Chen might not be able to accept it all at once.
"Auntie, don't get too excited. Breathe steadily. Yes, that's right! This news still needs to be kept confidential for now, mainly the news that Brother Jianming is going to the provincial capital. It's better to announce it after they leave."
"Yes, yes! That makes sense. That way, they won't cause any more trouble over there. Things have been complicated there lately. Once it's decided, let Jianming and the others leave early. I see this situation suggests they might go back on their word."
"Ah? What happened? Go back on their word about what?"
"The incident with the educated youth last time was suppressed. But that Chen Jianshe is truly not a human. His wife bore him children, yet he still messes around! Last time, he used Jianming's name as an excuse. He doesn't dare to do that now, but he's set his sights on a married woman, and that woman is his wife's best friend. Can you believe there are people like that!!"
Ji Xingmi was also a bit speechless. She didn't pay much attention to village affairs, and she didn't even know about such big gossip. She wondered if Chen Jianming knew about it!
"Then I'll have to trouble Auntie to remind Brother Jianming to leave early and make plans sooner!"
"Yes, I'll go right now! I'll go over immediately!"
Aunt Chen stood up and left, leaving the three people looking somewhat dazed. Ji Xingmi had delivered her message, so she took her leave and returned.
She also wanted to leave some time for the young couple to communicate. After all, they were still in the honeymoon period, and they would be parting ways, so they would surely be reluctant.
Ji Xingmi did not get involved in the subsequent matters. She went to the commune herself and mailed the dried meat she had prepared to the cheap ones, and also sent some to Gu Jingyi. Then she went to fill up the small courtyard with supplies. On her way back, she handed the key to Chen Ji'ang.
Chen Ji'ang had already reported to the machinery factory, but he had agreed with the factory that he would start after the autumn harvest.
He was now teaching his eldest brother how to operate the tilling machine, and of course, his second and third brothers were also being taught. This was because Ji Xingmi had said that there would be more and more such machines in the future, and the agricultural machinery station would likely need many skilled technicians. If they knew how to operate them, they would have even better opportunities.
Chen Ji'ang had also conveyed this information to his brothers, and they were now diligently learning. Their wives had also learned about Chen Ji'ang going to the provincial machinery factory. They were very happy that he was teaching this tilling machine skill to his brothers.
They were now somewhat fortunate that they had not offended the fourth couple back then. Otherwise, given the fourth brother's personality, he probably wouldn't have taught their husbands.
These matters were not of much concern to Ji Xingmi. What amused her the most were the two brothers, Chen Xiangdong and Chen Xiangnan. They had formally come to bid farewell to Ji Xingmi and had given her their favorite toys as mementos.
Ji Xingmi accepted them and had also prepared some gifts for them, but she hadn't given them yet. She would give them when they set off for the provincial capital.
