Bai Ruoqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod, "Yes, but don't you need to go shopping first?"
"Oh, hi, no need. I just came out for a stroll because I had nothing to do." He couldn't help but touch An An's head with a loving look on his face. "It's a pity that grandma didn't bring anything with her today. Next time, I must bring a gift for our An An."
Bai Ruoqiao smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma, please don't bring any gifts. Otherwise, I won't dare to bring you to my house."
"Hey, you're threatening me, don't worry, it's not something expensive, just some snacks I prepared myself."
The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived in front of the small building.
"This is the house you rented. Oh, you must have been cheated. The rent for this house is very expensive."
Bai Ruoqiao said as he opened the door, "No, we know the person who rented the house. Although it's a bit expensive, we chose it because of the location and its proximity to the machinery factory. If conditions permit, we'll rent it for a year and try it out."
"I see..." Old Mrs. Xie helped push the bicycle in, looking around, "Your husband is also in the machinery factory, what does he do? By the way, a comrade in my youngest son's unit was also recruited by the machinery factory recently."
“As a technician.”
"Oh, what a coincidence! That young comrade also works as a technician in the machinery factory."
"Really?" Bai Ruoqiao didn't think much about it and led her into the house. "Please sit down first. I'll go get some water."
"Hey, stop working. You need to clean up. Let me help." Old Mrs. Xie rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help.
“This house looks really nice.”
"No need. It's not right to let guests work. Please don't do that. Just sit down and do some odd jobs." Bai Ruoqiao brought out a bowl of water and a small plate of melon seeds.
"I was attracted by this single-family house because it's relatively quiet. I could only find two other places for rent. Although they were not cheap, they were all large compound houses with a lot of people and were noisy. I'd rather stay here. Anyway, I'll be working in the factory in a few days, and my family's income will be higher in the future."
Mrs. Xie was surprised when she heard this. "You want to work in a factory too? Which factory?"
"Qingyang Textile Factory." Bai Ruoqiao said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up immediately. "Hey, what a coincidence! My son-in-law is also in the textile factory, and he is the head of the Revolutionary Committee. What department do you work in? I will say hello to him when the time comes, and ask him to take good care of you."
Bai Ruoqiao didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. When she heard the name of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, she thought of the Deputy Chairman Li whom she had met before.
She waved her hands quickly, "That's not allowed. We must uphold fairness and justice and not engage in back-channel relationships, lest people accuse us of improper conduct."
Mrs. Xie was stunned, and then slapped her forehead, "Look at me, I'm confused. Yes, you are right. I almost made a mistake in my thinking. Fortunately, you reminded me. Comrade Bai, you are a comrade with a good family background."
Bai Ruoqiao smiled indifferently, "By the way, Grandma Xie, do you know anything about the textile factory?"
"I don't really know about this, but my eldest sister occasionally mentioned that the factory's efficiency is not very good and the indicators can't keep up. My son-in-law could have been promoted to a provincial position, but he was blocked because of this."
Mrs. Xie sighed, "What do you do for a living?"
Bai Ruoqiao didn't give a perfunctory answer. She would know sooner or later anyway.
"Probably developing new products."
"What?" Old Mrs. Xie didn't understand for a moment.
Bai Ruoqiao smiled and patiently explained to her, "It's to make some new styles of clothes. Just like you said, the factory is not profitable, so the factory manager wants to start with the product. I just know how to make some new styles of clothes, and the factory manager thought it was good, so he hired me."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, her eyes lit up even more. "Is it like what happened to An An? You did it, right?"
Bai Ruoqiao nodded, and An An also looked down at her clothes.
