Hu Fangming replied with a hint of disappointment:
"Not yet. I heard the production brigade leaders told them to go back for now, and that they would give them an answer after the brigade holds a meeting to discuss it. But honestly, I think this is a tricky situation. Besides, it’s unclear how Jiang Yun will be handled in the end. If her parents don't take her with them, where would she possibly stay? There’s no one in the brigade to look after her."
Feng Qingqing mused to herself that he was right. Ultimately, it would depend on what the production brigade headquarters decided.
After the three finished their meal, Hu Fangming and He Yongan went their separate ways. Feng Qingqing then began organizing the various items she had bought that day. She set the things she had purchased for He Yongan aside, intending to give them to him the next day. She put her own belongings to one side and placed the yarn and fabric she would need in the near future in another pile. She didn't know how to sew clothes herself, so she would need to ask an elderly woman in the village who was skilled at tailoring to help her. She did know how to knit sweaters, however, so she would have to make time to work quickly and try to finish before winter set in.
