Chapter 87 Yu Songyan and Yu Jiajia had just...

Yu Songyan and Yu Jiajia had just stepped inside the house when dinner was being prepared. Cheng Xiuying, seeing them, asked, "I was just thinking about you two. What did you eat out?"

Yu Songyan sent a message home through someone to inform his family about the two eating out.

Yu Jiajia affectionately took her mother's arm: "We ate dumplings!" Then she started talking about the cultural troupe, "Mom, you have no idea how outrageous that Director Zhou is! He actually dared to do a striptease in public! He's so shameless! I had him tied up right away. He even threatened me with Director Fang, but I'm not afraid at all!"

The security personnel had come to Cheng Xiuying's house to report, and she already knew what was going on. She felt that her daughter had handled the situation properly, so she didn't go to the factory again.

Old Mrs. Yu, who was standing nearby, had just heard about this and immediately cursed, "These people from the city are just like Zhu Jingsong, none of them are good! They should all be dismissed, investigated, and shot!"

Striptease was just the beginning; even dirtier things were hidden behind it.

Cheng Xiuying had long guessed that these young girls were probably in a bad situation. They were too beautiful and, without enough background, could only be manipulated by others.

Fortunately, they were smart enough to see the situation clearly, chose to trust Yu Jiajia, and dared to set a trap for Zhou Zhikai. In this way, things became simple.

Yu Jiajia also felt they deserved to be shot: "They were too arrogant and looked down on women! Zhou Zhikai is doomed, and Director Fang can't escape either. They can't harm anyone else anymore."

This is a wonderful thing, and we won't have to be afraid to go to the city anymore.

The Yu family's dinner was simple: steamed eggplant, stir-fried mushrooms with shredded pork, sweet potato porridge, and steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and vegetables.

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "The shirt is finished. It's on your bed in your room. Try it on to see if it fits."

Yu Jiajia happily ran back into the house to look at her new clothes. She immediately spotted several pieces of clothing on the bed. They were not only finished, but also washed and dried, and they felt especially soft to the touch.

The light pink shirt has a lace collar, cuffs, and hem, and the waist is slightly fitted. It looks even better than the pattern! There are also two sets of little clothes next to it, a pair of underwear and boxer shorts, which are so cute.

Yu Jiajia immediately changed into a new shirt, which fit her perfectly! She then found a pair of pants, put them on, ran out, and climbed onto Cheng Xiuying's back, hugging her neck: "Thank you, Mom, thank you, Third Sister, it looks amazing!"

Cheng Xiuying smiled so wide her mouth stretched to her ears, "I'm glad you like it." She turned to look at Sibao, "She's so pretty, like a flower bud. My Sibao should wear new clothes every day."

Everyone complimented her on how pretty she was, and Yu Jiajia said, "I'm so embarrassed."

Before they had finished eating, their neighbor, Aunt Qian, came over. She chatted with Cheng Xiuying for a while before getting straight to the point. She was there to arrange a marriage. The daughter of the deputy director of the first workshop was a junior high school teacher at the steel rolling mill. She was 19 years old, beautiful, and had a good personality. She was especially kind and wouldn't even step on an ant. She was a perfect match for Yu Songqing.

Yu Songqing coughed repeatedly at these words and quickly waved his hand to decline, saying, "Auntie, please don't tease me! Now is really not the time to think about this. Let's put personal matters aside for now and wait until I've made something of myself in my career and made a good contribution to the country."

Aunt Qian chuckled: "Only when things are stable at home can you focus all your energy on your work! That girl is good at everything, both at home and outside, she'll definitely manage your life perfectly."

Grandma Yu smiled and said, "Now it's a time for free love. If the child doesn't want to get married and wants to focus on his work, we, as elders, will support him." She knew that the girl was ambitious and competitive, and she made a mess of the house every day. Her family wouldn't dare to marry her.

That's a rejection.

Aunt Qian was not discouraged and continued, "My niece is 19 years old this year and works in a department store. She looks like her mother and is a beauty. She has a simple personality and is very compatible with Songyan."

Yujia:......

Aunt Qian said, "Songyan, don't tell me you also want to establish your career first."

Yu Songyan said, "Auntie, you care about me too much. But to be honest, I'm too smart, and I can't get along with naive girls. I hope to find a comrade who shares my ideals and is highly capable. Only a relationship where two people can not only take care of each other but also strive for a common cause is meaningful. Auntie, could you help me keep an eye out for someone?"

Aunt Qian was speechless with emotion.

She had looked into the jobs of the Yu family's children. Yu Songyan was currently the workshop director of a food factory. Was she looking for a director position?

Where is she supposed to find a director? There aren't even directors who are remarried.

She felt that her niece was more suited to Yu Songqing, and turned to Yu Songqing, saying, "How about..."

Yu Songqing: "Thank you, but I don't like it."

Aunt Qian then mentioned two more men she wanted to introduce to Yu Jiamin, but Yu Jiamin directly refused, saying that she didn't go on blind dates.

Aunt Qian looked at Yu Jiajia, who was only 17 years old. She didn't even need to say anything. The Yu family was unwilling to marry off their youngest daughter so early, so she had no choice but to leave empty-handed.

The matchmaker's gift is no longer possible.

Cheng Xiuying grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Granny Qian: "Thank you for your concern."

Grandma Yu was inside, patiently advising, "That deputy director's daughter is indeed not suitable, but you can meet the others. When your parents were in their twenties, Songqing was already running around everywhere. They've reached the age where they should be thinking about marriage. Look at Song'an, he already has two children. Huaiyuan and Zhenzhen chase after him calling him 'Dad,' it sounds so sweet. Songda's wife is also pregnant and will soon be a father."

Yu Songqing went back to the house, and Yu Songyan said, "Grandma, I'm willing to get married, but I have to find a woman who can provide three major dowries. I'd also like to wear a watch. Ideally, she should be more capable than me at work, and as for looks, she just needs to be pleasing to the eye."

Grandma Yu suffered a heart attack: "Why don't you just fly to the sky?"

Yu Songyan shrugged. "I like it this way, otherwise I definitely wouldn't get married." He only spends his money on Jiajia. If he had to spend money on a wife, he would be losing out big time.

Grandma Yu then said to Yu Jiamin, "Jiamin, you can't follow your brothers' example. There are only so many good comrades, we have to pick them quickly, otherwise all the good ones will be taken."

Yu Jiamin: "Grandma, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Grandma Yu sighed, "Ah."

Yu Jiajia: "Grandma, we're still young, there's no rush."

Grandma Yu: "Okay, they're all still young."

After dinner, the Yu family went downstairs for a walk. A walk after a meal is said to help one live to ninety-nine.

Everyone has their own little circle. Old Man Yu and Old Woman Yu exercise with a group of old men and women by the fitness equipment. Most of Old Woman Yu's gossip comes from what she hears here, and the other half comes from what she observes.

Yu Songqing and Yu Songyan went to the basketball court to play basketball together.

Yu Hongding and Cheng Xiuying had been very affectionate these past two days, and had endless things to talk about, but they eventually drifted apart.

Yu Jiajia and her sister, along with Xia Jing, joined the little girls in their games, playing shuttlecock and hopscotch.

Xia Jing is too introverted. She used to only play with Xia Nian'er. Under Xia Nian'er's instigation, everyone thought that Xia Jing looked down on others, and the girls in the family compound didn't play with her either.

However, with Yu Jiajia's help, things were quickly cleared up, and Xia Jing gained a group of new friends.

It turns out that Xia Jing was just quiet, not arrogant or looking down on others.

Yu Jiajia also completed her third check-in and received [Roasted Chicken*1, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Related Blueprints*1 (6/20)].

Around nine o'clock, everyone reluctantly left, pulling Yu Jiajia aside and saying, "Come play again tomorrow!"

Yu Jiajia is very good at kicking shuttlecock and jumping rope. She is beautiful, has a sweet tongue, high EQ, and always has candy in her pocket. Most importantly, she is a celebrity in the steel rolling mill. Her mother is the deputy director of the mill, and she has two very handsome older brothers. Everyone loves to play with her.

Yu Jiamin is also very good at playing, but she mainly plays with Yu Jiajia and is somewhat distant from the other girls.

Xia Jing was especially excited; it's so good to have friends.

Yu Jiajia: "You have such a great personality, everyone likes you! You will have many, many good friends in the future."

Xia Jing's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were bright as she looked at Yu Jiajia, feeling particularly happy. When they parted on the second floor, Xia Jing said, "I'll go to the factory to watch the performance after my class tomorrow."

Yu Jiajia: "Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you!"

She and her third sister returned home and took showers one after the other. Yu Jiajia also looked at the three pieces of gold she had received that day: a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, and a necklace.

They're all dragon and phoenix designs, nothing particularly stunning, but together they must weigh about 100g.

Yu Jiajia was thrilled with the free gold and enjoyed it for a while. However, she couldn't wear it and had to keep it in her spatial backpack.

Her treasure trove in her backpack is getting bigger and bigger!

Although most of them are only for looking at and cannot be eaten or used, it's still fun to accumulate them.

I wonder how Xu Mo has handled things. I hope Director Fang doesn't get away with it.

The next day, after practicing the Five Animal Frolics with her third sister, Yu Jiajia began to choose her clothes for the day. She selected a pale yellow dress and black leather shoes from the wardrobe, styled her hair into two fishtail braids, tied a pale yellow hairband, and looked at herself in the mirror again and again, once again captivated by her own beauty.

She is so beautiful.

Yu Jiamin pinned a pale yellow fabric daisy hair clip to Yu Jiajia's head, saying, "Doesn't it make you even prettier?"

Yu Jiajia continued looking in the mirror: "Thank you, Third Sister! You look especially beautiful today too."

Yu Jiamin: "I'm going to watch a show with you tonight, so of course I have to dress up nicely."

Yu Jiajia nodded: "Mmm-hmm."

After breakfast, Yu Jiajia went to work with Cheng Xiuying. There was nothing to do all morning, and she could watch the older women sing and dance. It was a pure bliss for Yu Jiajia, and she even started to love going to work.

Tian Lili inquired about things in the city from Yu Jiajia, but Yu Jiajia didn't know either. She said, "Just focus on your performance. As long as Director Fang has done something bad, he's finished." She then asked, "Has Director Fang done many bad things?"

Tian Lili: "Then he's definitely doomed."

Around noon, Xu Mo came over and asked Yu Jiajia to go out, while Lu Chenzhou waited outside.

Lu Chenzhou is the director of the county revolutionary committee. If he were to come to the steel rolling mill, it would probably cause a sensation.

Yu Jiajia asked with delight, "Has the matter in the city been resolved?"

Xu Mo nodded, but didn't go into details, saying he'd wait for Director Lu to explain.

Yu Jiajia still trusted Xu Mo. She followed Xu Mo out of the steel mill and turned a corner when she saw Lu Chenzhou standing alone not far away.

The dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting interplay of light and shadow around him, making him appear exceptionally aloof and cold.

However, this was only for a moment. When he saw Yu Jiajia, he smiled and walked towards her, and his aloofness vanished instantly.
