Seeing that Zhang Yimeng was still a little unfamiliar with Jiang Tang, Meng Si Ning quickly persuaded her with a smile on her face: "Okay, don't be angry. Come, Yimeng, let me introduce you. This is my best friend Jiang Tang. Tangtang, this is the cousin I mentioned to you, Zhang Yimeng."

Zhang Yimeng looked Jiang Tang up and down, and said with a hint of teasing, "We met during the day. She almost caught me as a thief."

Jiang Tang shrugged helplessly, spread his hands and explained: "It's really not my fault."

Meng Si Ning coughed lightly and turned the topic to the point. He said to Zhang Yimeng, "Do you know why she and her grandmother came to us this time?"

Zhang Yimeng waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "She's just here to testify for Comrade Gu from her village. I didn't really pay much attention when they told my dad about it."

Meng Si Ning's expression turned serious, and he said, "The Big Brother Gu she mentioned is my next-door neighbor Xia Qiu's boyfriend. Gu Jingshen is also the child that our compound's Chief Gu Rong just adopted."

After hearing this, Jiang Tang approached the two of them mysteriously and said in a low voice, "From my perspective, she's definitely here for Gu Jingshen. She knows that Gu Jingshen and Xia Qiu have a good relationship, so she wants to get closer to Gu Jingshen by getting close to Xia Qiu."

Zhang Yimeng's eyes widened when she heard this, and now she finally understood: "Could it be that she likes the Big Brother Gu she mentioned?"

Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Zhang Yimeng was confused and didn't understand. "If she likes him, she could just say no directly. Now she insists on being friends with his boyfriend. What on earth does she want?"

Jiang Tang curled her lips and analyzed, "What could she possibly want? With her status as a country girl, the Gu family, with their status, would definitely not agree to marrying their newly found precious son. So, she knew in her heart that since she couldn't marry him, she just wanted to be closer to him, so that she could see him more often."

Zhang Yimeng seemed to have discovered some shocking secret. She suddenly became excited and pulled Jiang Tang aside, saying, "Sister, your analysis is so thorough. It's like you saw it with your own eyes. By the way, how did you know all this? Could it be that... you also like that Brother Gu?"

Jiang Tang was just about to exaggerate Yi Meng's quick thinking, but when she heard the last sentence, she rolled her eyes.

Meng Si Ning watched the interaction between the two, smiled helplessly, and then said to Zhang Yimeng: "You still have to be careful with her in the future. She is not as simple as she seems."

Zhang Yimeng nodded hurriedly. She had seen Shen Qiurong's methods many times before.

Because Jiang Tang had to help her best friend with the sale of the commune's old grain, she rushed back to the commune early the next morning as soon as it was light.

As soon as she arrived at the commune, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Director Wang was moving so quickly and the oil pressing work had already started in full swing.

Walking into the warehouse, I saw a busy scene, machines humming, and barrels of golden soybean oil being produced continuously.

Director Wang's face was filled with joy. Seeing Jiang Tang approach, he quickly went over to her and excitedly explained the packaging situation to her. "Director Jiang, look! In just one day, the warehouse already has over a hundred kilograms of soybean oil. The two-kilogram packages are the most popular. After all, money is tight right now, so buying two kilograms is more economical, so I'm sure a lot of people will buy them. The next largest number are five-kilogram packages, and ten-kilogram packages are less common. I don't think the average family would need that much."

Jiang Tang listened and said seriously, "Director Wang, you still need to pack an extra ten kilograms. I have a friend who works in a factory. They have a lot of employees, and they need a lot of oil in ten kilograms. They can digest it." Director Wang suddenly understood and nodded quickly, "Oh, Director Jiang is thoughtful. I'll arrange for someone to pack an extra ten kilograms."

Then, Jiang Tang looked at the bulk soybeans and peanuts piled to the side and said, "Please keep 2,000 kilograms of these bulk soybeans and 1,000 kilograms of peanuts. You can also get some popcorn."

Director Wang looked embarrassed and said, "Secretary Jiang, this popcorn is not easy to store. Without the plastic bag, it will get damp and soften over time, affecting the taste."

Jiang Tang patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, Director Wang. I'll send you some plastic bags tomorrow. I guarantee you won't be delayed. And please get some more corn grits. My friend's factory needs them too."

Director Wang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He admired Jiang Tang from the bottom of his heart. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Secretary Jiang, with you here, our old grain sales will definitely go smoothly. By the way, Secretary Jiang, I just remembered that the oil pressing machine has been having some minor problems recently. Although it doesn't affect the current progress, I'm worried that there will be big problems in the future. What should we do?"

Jiang Tang frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Director Wang, please arrange for someone to carefully check the machine to see where the problem is. I'll also go back and think about whether I can find someone knowledgeable to help fix it."

Director Wang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Director Jiang, thank you for your hard work."

After coming out of the warehouse, Jiang Tang wanted to go back to the village, but then he thought that the market would be open in a few days, so he had to get ready quickly.

So I went back to the city.

Went straight to find He Yan.

When Jiang Tang saw He Yan at the machinery factory, she smiled brightly.

He Yan was originally happy that he came to see him, but when he saw her smile, he knew something was wrong: "You don't come to see me for no reason."

"Hey, I see."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"I want to ask if you know anyone who can repair an oil press. The one in our commune is having some problems."

"What's wrong?"

"Looks like there's an oil problem."

"I can fix this, but I don't have time during the day."

"No time during the day? Then... there's no car at night."

"I can take a leave."

"No, buddy, can we finish what we are saying at once?"

He Yan was very angry when he heard this: "Who is your buddy?"

"No, comrade, Comrade He Yan, when will you ask for leave?"

"You wait."

After He Yan finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the unit.

Seeing him walking away, Jiang Tang made a face behind him and complained inwardly: He is so arrogant.

Half an hour later, He Yan came out.

Jiang Tang, who was at the door, immediately walked up to him and gave him an ice cream cone: "Eat it quickly, it's melted."

He Yan looked at her while holding the mung bean ice cream and found that she had already eaten half of it.

He Yan reminded: "It's not good for girls to eat too much cold food."

"It's just an ice cream. I'm fine." After saying that, she looked at him again and said, "Why don't you eat it? You don't mind that the ice cream is not clean, do you? Comrade He Yan, if that's the case, your mysophobia is already..."

Before she could finish her words, He Yan had already put the ice cream into his mouth. Not wanting to pay attention to her, he turned around and walked towards the road.

"Hey, hey, we're going the wrong direction. We need to catch a ride north."

"I'm going home to get something."

"oh."
