"Dad..." Qi Qingmei looked at Qi Fusheng aggrievedly. She really wanted to ask him, didn't you agree to let Jiang Xiaohui be a teacher in the village primary school? Why did you let him come to repair the canal, which is tiring and dirty?

Qi Fusheng understood what his daughter meant. He was glad that she didn't lose her brain for the man. If she had said this in front of so many members, Jiang Xiaohui's plan to become a teacher would have been completely ruined.

Qi Qingmei feels sorry for Jiang Xiaohui, but Qi Fusheng doesn't.

This is a good opportunity to let him realize the hardship he is going through now, so that he can rely on him to find an easier job in the future and cherish his childhood sweetheart even more.

But this silly girl didn't understand his good intentions at all!

"Go back!" Qi Fusheng rarely got angry at Qi Qingmei.

Seeing Qi Qingmei standing still, she sighed helplessly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If you want Jiang Xiaohui to become a teacher smoothly, you must listen to me."

Qi Qingmei glanced at Qi Fusheng, reluctantly left the kettle to Jiang Xiaohui, and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Qi Fusheng felt a toothache after seeing this, and he put his hands on his hips, feeling helpless.

His beloved daughter, whom he had cherished since childhood, had never looked at him with such reluctant eyes.

"No laziness allowed, get moving. I'll deduct work points from anyone who's lazy!" Qi Fusheng took out his anger on the members who were repairing the canal.

Jiang Chunlin glanced at Qi Fusheng indifferently, then used a shovel to shovel the mud onto the canal bank.

Jiang Chunlin was very strong, and the shovel he used splashed the mud everywhere, with a few drops hitting Jiang Kun's face.

He was shocked, thinking that his family had not yet compensated Jiang Chunlin for the eggs and old hens. It was just that this had never happened before. Fortunately, they were now standing together to repair the canal.

He was afraid that Jiang Chunlin would beat him to death with a shovel in anger!

"Brother Chunlin, I'll send you the old hen and eggs after work. I haven't sent them to you for a long time because I wanted to find a fat old hen."

"Hmm." Jiang Chunlin thought of something and looked at Jiang Kun, "We want roosters, not hens."

The soup made from old hens is delicious, but the meat is not easy to cook.

When eating at a state-owned restaurant, Shen Qinghe likes to eat meat with bones. Although there are not many chicken bones, the meat is tender.

Jiang Kun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

But I was secretly happy in my heart, the rooster is great, and the hen can even lay eggs!

Jiang Chunlin came back from work at noon with mud all over his legs. He went to the river to wash them before going back.

From a distance, I saw Zhu Zhigang standing at the door, looking over here anxiously.

Zhu Zhigang saw Jiang Chunlin and ran towards him, "Chunlin, where have you been? I've been waiting for you all morning."

"Go to work!" Jiang Chunlin said briefly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Dan staring at him. He frowned and said to Zhu Zhigang, "Let's talk inside."

Zhu Zhigang also saw a woman staring at them, but he didn't know what she was looking at.

Jiang Chunlin made a cup of tea for Zhu Zhigang, placed the teacup in front of him, and sat down beside him. "Any clues?"

"Well, there just happened to be someone selling a job, but the job is not very good, in the workshop." Zhu Zhigang looked at Jiang Chunlin guiltily, "With your talent, it would be best for you to go to the sales department, but there is no shortage of people there."

Working in the sales department is a lucrative job, with not only a salary but also commissions.

Some salesmen even take kickbacks, and as long as they don't act too shamelessly, factories usually turn a blind eye.

Most of the people who can get into the sales department have connections, and the only thing they are afraid of is not getting in, and no one comes out.

Jiang Chunlin didn't care, he just wanted a job and didn't want the villagers to keep an eye on Shen Qinghe.

"Okay, when will I come to see you?" Jiang Chunlin said, holding the teacup and taking a sip of tea.

"Tomorrow at noon, I'll ask that comrade to come out when I go to work tomorrow morning. We can have lunch together and discuss this matter. If all goes well, you can replace him at work the day after tomorrow."

Zhu Zhigang stood at the door of Jiang's house waiting for Jiang Chunlin for the whole morning in the hot summer. His lips were already chapped from thirst, but he still held the teacup tightly.

Jiang Chunlin nodded. He Xiuyun happened to come back. Seeing that Jiang Chunlin had a friend there, she washed her hands and went to the kitchen to cook.

"Chunlin, this is your friend, right? Let him eat here. I will make cold noodles for lunch." He Xiuyun said with a smile, holding up her wet hands.

"Auntie, no need to trouble you." Zhu Zhigang quickly stood up.

He Xiuyun waved her hand, "It's rare to see my Chunlin bring his lover home, how can I let you go hungry? The meal will be ready soon, you two can continue chatting."

He Xiuyun left after saying this.

Zhu Zhigang watched He Xiuyun's back and stood there without moving.

Jiang Chunlin glanced at him and said, "Stop pretending. You don't plan to leave. Sit down quickly."

"Hey, I've been waiting for you for the whole morning. I'm hungry and thirsty." Zhu Zhigang sat down. "I also want to see what your wife looks like."

Ever since Jiang Chunlin told Zhu Zhigang that he was married, he has been extremely curious about Jiang Chunlin's wife. Who on earth is this fairy who dares to marry Jiang Chunlin, the village bully?

"She is not at home today. I'll introduce you to each other some other day." Jiang Chunlin said.

Zhu Zhigang was a little disappointed. The main reason he stayed here to have this meal was to see Jiang Chunlin's wife. He felt embarrassed to eat here without her.

He knew the situation of Jiang Chunlin's family. The food rations were limited. He had a big appetite. If he ate this meal, his whole family would probably only be able to eat half full for the next few days.

Jiang Chunlin saw what Zhu Zhigang was thinking and scolded him with a smile, "I'm not that poor, but you can make me poor with just one meal."

Zhu Zhigang scratched his head and smiled innocently.

…

Without clothes and snacks, the crocheted pendants sold slowly. Shen Qinghe spent a day in the black market before she sold two teddy bear pendants and three wallets.

It would take another two days for the supply and marketing cooperative to have the defective cloth. After thinking about it, Shen Qinghe simply bought some ingredients for making snacks and a pound of white paper from the supply and marketing cooperative.

After returning home, Jiang Chunlin had not returned from work yet.

Shen Qinghe first made the snacks quickly, and then used the frying oil to fry some dried tofu, which she cut into shreds and mixed with wild vegetables to make a cold salad, filling half a basin with the mixture. She also cooked a pot of porridge and heated up steamed buns.

Just as it was done, Jiang Chunlin came back with He Xiuyun, followed by Jiang Jianguo.

"Qinghe is back." He Xiuyun said with a smile as she looked at Shen Qinghe.

This girl was the right one to marry. She could see with her own eyes that Jiang Chunlin was more patient now than before. He would say a few more words to her and Jiang Jianguo, unlike before when she asked a question and whether he would reply or not depended on his mood.

Jiang Jianguo looked at his daughter-in-law as if she were a national treasure.

It’s not easy, his fourth child finally looks like a human being!

"Mom, Dad, I have prepared the meal. You should wash your faces first." Shen Qinghe said with a smile.

"Hey!" Jiang Jianguo responded crisply and walked towards the well.

Shen Qinghe unconsciously glanced at Jiang Jianguo's muddy pants. There was a little red in the black mud. "Dad, what's on your legs?"

Jiang Jianguo lowered his head, took a look, and used his hands to pick at them. "The canal is full of these bugs." Then he raised his hand and threw it away.

When Shen Qinghe saw that it was a crayfish, her eyes lit up and she ran over to pick it up, "This is a treasure!"

Jiang Chunlin, Jiang Jianguo, and He Xiuyun all looked at Shen Qinghe in confusion.

How can a bug be a treasure?

Shen Qinghe smiled and said, "This is edible. It's delicious."

The corner of Jiang Chunlin's mouth twitched. He was so greedy that even the bugs in the black mud were greedy.

"Can this thing be eaten?" He Xiuyun asked in disbelief.

Shen Qinghe nodded heavily, "It's really edible."

"Then I'll catch some for you tomorrow when I go to work." Jiang Jianguo said with a smile after being surprised.

The fourth daughter-in-law's tea and food are delicious. If she says they are edible, then they are really edible.

"How many crayfish?" Shen Qinghe asked with shining eyes.

Jiang Jianguo thought about it and nodded, "Quite a lot."

"Dad, then you can catch more tomorrow and I will cook for you." Shen Qinghe grinned.

After traveling through the book for so long, Shen Qinghe was so excited that she wanted to cry when she could actually eat crayfish.

When she mentions crayfish, she thinks of her grandfather.

During the crayfish season, grandpa would go to the night market and buy her some every day.

I don’t know what happened to my grandfather after she died.

At night, Shen Qinghe sat under the kerosene lamp and drew the design.

Jiang Chunlin saw that she had changed into a big notebook and took a look at the clothes hanging in the supply and marketing cooperative, which were similar to those on display, with two sleeves and a body.

I feel like Shen Qinghe is making a fuss.

"Take these small notebooks and give them to those boys." Shen Qinghe pointed to the A5 notebooks on the table.

Jiang Chunlin just wanted to talk to the boss about something, so he took the notebooks and went out.

There were twenty notebooks and he gave four notebooks to each of his five nephews.

The last person to go to the old house, before entering the door, he heard Wang Dan said to Jiang Chunming in a sarcastic tone, "The man who came to see Chunlin today looks like a respectable man. I didn't expect that a scoundrel like him would know such a person."

"What do you mean? How did the fourth brother offend you?" Jiang Chunming glared at Wang Dan unconvinced.

Wang Dan was about to speak when she saw Jiang Chunlin standing at the door. She was so scared that she shrank her shoulders and dared not say a word. She didn't know if he heard what she said.
