Not only do they want to sell the factory, but they also want the buyer to pay back the money. They want all the factory workers to stay—isn't that a joke?

Some departments, in order to earn foreign exchange, treat foreign-invested enterprises more favorably, while strictly controlling private enterprises.

Song Yan didn't intend to take advantage of the country, but she couldn't be taken advantage of either.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was clearly in a bad mood, so Song Yan kept talking to her to distract her.

Xiaoxiao was naturally furious that Song Yan's interests had been harmed.

What requirements did this leader make? What requirements did that leader make?

As Jiang Xiaoxiao listened to Song Yan speak, she also criticized the group for their insatiable greed, saying that they were just occupying positions without doing any work, and so on.

Jiang Xiaoxiao never said what was wrong with her.

The sun sets early in winter.

The sun was setting in the west, and the light inside the room was already dim.

Song Yan: "I heard that a new restaurant has opened, serving Western food."

I'll take you to try it!

It was almost time to eat, and Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitated, wondering if it would be inappropriate for Song Yan to accompany her out.

Song Yan: "What's there to be afraid of!"

Song Yan and Jiang Xiaoxiao neither drove nor took public transportation. The two strolled in the sunset.

Song Yan raised Wei An and Wei Ping, and she herself has 5 children.

There were also the elders from both sides.

She arranged things so well for Mr. and Mrs. Song.

She completely supported her family.

Jiang Xiaoxiao kept praising Song Yan's abilities: "How are you so amazing!"

You take good care of your children and elderly parents, and you do a great job at your job too. And you also run such a big business!

You single-handedly supported the whole family!

Song Yan: "Xiaoxiao, you're absolutely right!"

I didn't even realize I'd done so much!

In other people's homes, the man is the pillar of the family. In my home, to be honest, when I suddenly realized this, I felt that divorce was the best option.

But I dared not; I was afraid of retaliation. I was afraid of being dragged to the commune and subjected to a large meeting.

At that time, I really hoped he would join the army as soon as possible.

He's going to join the army, so I can do whatever I want.

And because he joined the army, I became a military dependent.

If I encounter any difficulties, I can go to the brigade; the brigade can take care of me.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her friend in surprise.

At that time, Shen Qian had joined the army, and Song Yan had to take care of Aunt Wei, who had broken her leg, and also raise two children.

The educated youth and the people in the brigade all sympathized with her.

"So you see, whether life is good or bad, everyone's experience is different!"

Just because others say something is good doesn't mean it's good yourself.

Whether you're happy or not, whether you like it or not, only you know.

"Try to make yourself happier!" Song Yan said.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "I understand!"

Has my aunt set a wedding date yet?

Song Yan: "No!"

The Lunar New Year is almost here, so we'll have to wait until after the New Year!

This is a perfect time for Auntie to get ready!

"There's a photo studio that's now open, and they've prepared white wedding dresses!"

"These days, everyone takes wedding photos when they get married!" Jiang Xiaoxiao and Leng Zhaojiang were dating with marriage in mind, so they paid more attention to these things.

"That doesn't look good!" In Song Yan's eyes, it was a long white dress that dragged on the ground, with a white veil on her head. "I actually hope that Third Aunt gets married when spring is in full bloom."

You could wear a cheongsam back then!

I'll just give her a cheongsam.

When you get married, I'll give you a cheongsam as a gift.

I guarantee you'll dazzle the entire audience!

Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice was low. "I probably won't be able to get married anytime soon!"

"Leng Zhaojiang and I are not a good match!"

Song Yan: So that's why Xiaoxiao is unhappy.

Song Yan: "There are plenty of men in the world. If this one isn't right, then let's just find someone suitable."

She really had no intention of interfering in Jiang Xiaoxiao's relationship.

So, without evidence, no matter how much she suspected Leng Zhaojiang, she never said a word to Xiaoxiao.

However, if Jiang Xiaoxiao voluntarily breaks up with that person, she won't try to persuade Jiang Xiaoxiao not to give up.

Is Jiang Xiaoxiao really that old? Song Yan doesn't think so.

Song Yan then started talking about his third aunt, her dowry, the house, and her future life plans...

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the Western restaurant!

The ambiance of the Western restaurant isn't exactly elegant, but given the current climate, it's quite unique.

The table was covered with white tablecloths, and a bunch of plastic artificial flowers was placed in the center of the table.

This is different from Chinese restaurants where you see tables and chairs as soon as you enter.

As soon as Song Yan and Jiang Xiaoxiao entered, a waiter came to greet them.

They were very attentive in guiding them to sit at the table and introducing the dishes to them.

Song Yan ordered the dishes and desserts, but she didn't need any drinks; she brought her own fruit wine.

Once there, Song Yan naturally explained to Jiang Xiaoxiao the use of knives and forks and some Western dining etiquette.

The Western food here is alright; it's nice to have it once in a while.

Song Yan prepared cider, which tasted sweet and delicious.

After finishing her drink, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pour some more.

This cider has a strong aftereffect; after Jiang Xiaoxiao collapsed again, Song Yan tried to put the cider away, but Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn't let him...

By the time they left, Jiang Xiaoxiao was slightly tipsy from the alcohol, and she felt much more relaxed.

Song Yan wore a white scarf; she didn't feel cold and didn't wear a hat.

Her hair was loosely styled, and she wore a dark brown cotton-leather jacket, black flared trousers, and black leather shoes.
