Oh my! This fruit gift pack is really good!

I walked back home, and as soon as I entered the yard, I found some more things in the vegetable basket.

Zhao Qiuqin saw her daughter coming back and picked up the basket. She saw a piece of beef and a rib. She felt a little distressed. "Didn't we just eat meat yesterday? Why did you spend so much money to buy all this meat today?"

Song Jiayu stretched out her hands, exhausted from working in the fields at the research institute, and complained, "Dear mother, I've been working in the fields under the scorching sun these days. I really need to replenish my body."

The person who clamored about wanting to nourish her body had fair, shiny, and rosy skin. She stretched out her delicate hands and didn't see anything special. But her daughter said that it was true that she worked in the fields at the research institute, but she just couldn't get a tan. After a few days, the calluses on her hands disappeared and she looked like she had never worked in the fields.

Zhao Qiuqin was helpless. "Okay, how do you want to eat the beef?"

"Stew the potatoes and beef brisket together, and cook the spareribs and radish into a soup..."

In the evening, a sumptuous dinner satisfies people's body and mind after a day of hard work. The stewed beef brisket is delicious and chewy, with the unique aroma of beef. Pork ribs soup is still a favorite of people. The remaining vegetables and beans produced on the small balcony are also delicious and refreshing.

The days go by.

It's the end of June.

Today is a good day for Song Tianshun to officially graduate from Beilin University.

"What's going on with the Jiang family today? Are they cooking meat again?"

The voices coming from the residents of Tianshui Lane 10th Street were filled with a hint of resentment.

"Yes, my child smells the meat and asks me for meat all day long. I cook meat, but he still says it's not tasty and wants to eat the dishes made by the Jiang family!"

"My child is the same. I guess he will have to hold his bowl and eat at the door at noon again while smelling the delicious food~"

Most of the people living in Tianshui Lane worked in military factories. The wages and conditions in large factories were better than those in Songshan County. They were given meat coupons worth one catty or one catty and a half ounces per month. As long as the family had some spare money and did not sell the meat coupons, they could taste meat at least twice a month if they ate frugally.

Not to mention families with two working parents. The Jiang family has two working parents, and both husband and wife are capable. Their combined salary is among the highest in Tianshui Lane.

It’s okay to eat meat a few more times a month, but the meat is always cooked so fragrantly.

This makes people complain.

I can smell it but I can’t eat it. It’s a cycle of torture.

Old Mrs. Cao, who was among the gossiping neighbors, also spoke up: "I know why they're cooking meat dishes again today. The Song family's second son just graduated from our Beilin University."

"What a smart family this is!"

Some people were envious, and naturally some were jealous, saying, "If you ask me, it's still that Jiang the Electrician who's no match. How can a son-in-law support his mother-in-law's family?"

"Haha, you're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. If they're willing to support me, it's none of your business!"

"That's right. His brother just graduated from college and was hired by our military factory. Maybe he will settle down in our Tianshui Lane in a few days."

The jealous person smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

It was Old Lady Cao who spoke up: "It would be great if my son Chengcai could be like his second son. Not to mention getting into university, at least getting into a technical secondary school would be great!"

The Song family doesn't care at all about the gossip about their neighbors.

Song Jiayu and Jiang Baizhou happened to be on vacation today, so they invited Song Tianshun's teacher to come over, prepared a table of food and wine, and the family had a simple meal together. Even Tao Meng sat down.

"Congratulations to Tianshun for graduating from Beilin University and successfully getting a job at the military factory. In the future, he will not only be my younger brother, but will also be able to shoulder the responsibility of a small family."

Song Jiayu toasted her second brother with a glass of wine. Time flies so fast. Four and a half years have passed. She still vaguely remembers her second brother getting up early in the winter to memorize his lessons.

I congratulated my second brother, and naturally I didn't forget Tao Meng.

The two have been together since the beginning of school and have been dating. During this period, not only did Tao Meng come to the Song family to meet Song's father and mother, but Song Tianshun also went to the Tao family and met the entire family.

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere of the Song family, the Tao family was a little more serious, but not much different.

"I also congratulate Tao Meng on her successful graduation. She will work in the propaganda department of a military factory and have a new start in life."

Tao Meng drank the glass of wine from her elder sister with a smile. Her elder sister did not urge her relationship with Tianshun, nor did she regard her as a part of Tianshun. She was just congratulating her as a person. What a nice elder sister to have!

As for the toast to Professor Shen, it was offered by Song's father and mother at the beginning, and they expressed their deep gratitude.

To be honest, can the living knowledge gained from having an outstanding old professor teach you privately be the same as that gained from simply taking four years of classes in college?

After entering the military factory, if Song Tianshun fails to stand out with the knowledge, skills and experience taught, Professor Shen is afraid that he will have to expel this apprentice to avoid ruining his reputation.

"Are we going to report to the military factory tomorrow?" Zhao Qiuqin asked.

"Yes, Tao Meng and I will go together." Song Tianshun replied.

"Do you want son-in-law Jiang to take you there?" Song Demin asked.

"I had this plan. It was my first time going to the factory, so I wanted to take Tianshun and the others to meet some people," said Jiang Baizhou.

Everyone was talking at the dinner table, looking forward to reporting to the factory tomorrow.

It was easy for Jiang Baizhou to bring Song Tianshun into the company. Talents like Song Tianshun were directly requested by the factory from Beilin University. A leading engineer from a certain group had already specifically requested him to go there, so his joining was just a formality.

It started smoothly. When I went to the street office to allocate a house, I chose the east wing of the compound at No. 5 on the Ninth Street. It was about one foot in front of and one foot behind the Jiang family. After exiting the compound gate and crossing a small alley, I could reach the compound at No. 18 on the Tenth Street.

At this time, a group of people from the Song family were standing outside the east wing of Compound No. 5.

Someone in the compound asked, "What's going on? Are you guys moving in?"

Zhao Qiuqin, whose second son also had a house in the city, shouted happily: "Yes, my second son graduated from university and successfully joined our military factory yesterday. Didn't he get an apartment allocated to him~"

In the compound, a matchmaker named Radar made a noise and asked, "Ladies, does your second son have a girlfriend? I know several outstanding and generous young women."

Zhao Qiuqin was even happier. The second son in our family would never have trouble finding a wife. She shook her head and said, "The second son found a girlfriend in college, and now they both work in a military factory."

The matchmaker was very eloquent and said enthusiastically, "That's great! We're going to have a wedding banquet in our compound soon."

Seeing his wife about to talk to the people in the People's Congress compound until the end of time, Song Demin, who was only thinking about cleaning up his son's room, interrupted them and said, "Qiuqin, we have to clean up the room quickly. We also need to buy furniture for Tianshun."

"Okay."
