Tao Susu and Shen Conghe were initially surprised, but then they remembered that when Jiang Ci was in Zhongmo Town, she had done something big, like arresting the town party secretary's son-in-law for wrongdoing, and also helped the Zhou family's soldier catch his wife cheating, thus preventing two families from having a tragic ending.
After I came to my senses, I realized that it was normal for Enoki to be selected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She has high emotional intelligence and is well-suited for a diplomatic job.
"The people in the Cadre Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told me that Comrade Hobens also recommended me. After consideration by both sides, I was given the opportunity to participate in the test." Jiang Ci said to Mrs. Tao very seriously, "Because I did not go to university, my academic qualifications were not enough. This is my own fault. Comrade Hobens still recommended me. I am very grateful."
"That's why I'm visiting you today."
Mrs. Tao beamed and sat down, taking Jiang Ci's hand. "Then you shouldn't thank my father-in-law, you should thank Xiao Si. You'll be colleagues from now on. I'll have Xiao Si treat you to dinner at Lao Mo's later. It's better for you young people to be together."
Jiang Ci pondered the implication in Mrs. Tao's words and felt that something was amiss.
This doesn't sound quite like what she imagined.
Tao Susu immediately saw what her older sister was thinking. She realized she had been careless and quickly went up to pull Mrs. Tao aside, turning to Jiang Ci and asking, "Xiao Ci, how are your husband and child? They've been in Beijing for so long, have they settled in yet?"
Mrs. Tao's eager face suddenly fell, she froze, and the wind blew it away, shattering it into pieces.
Jiang Ci replied, "They've all settled down. They're in kindergarten now, and my husband is working as a kitchen helper. It's a very stable job."
Mrs. Tao almost burst into tears.
How did this happen... to be married and have a child?!
Her son has absolutely no chance!
After finishing his sweet milk tea, Shen Ting finally spoke up, "I can tutor Miao Miao and Yang Yang!"
Jiang Ci looked at Shen Ting with a smile, "Sure, you can play with them when you come to my house in the future."
Shen Ting nodded seriously, "Okay, but Aunt Jiang, I have to go to school now. I can only come to your house with my parents when I have a break."
"OK."
So Jiang Ci and Tao Susu's family made an appointment to get together during their rest time.
Jiang Ci asked Tao Susu's family when they arrived in Beijing.
They arrived late mainly because the hospital where Tao Susu used to work was unwilling to release her.
The town hospital only had one experienced surgeon, Tao Susu, so of course they didn't want her to leave.
However, Tao Susu's family wasn't without connections. After some maneuvering, the relevant departments in Beijing quickly arranged for Tao Susu to be transferred to Beijing.
As for Shen Conghe, although his family is not from Beijing, he and Tao Susu are husband and wife, so he can come to Beijing with her.
The two stayed at the Tao family's house temporarily. Shen Conghe still wanted to work in education. He had also been exonerated and could have continued to be the principal in Zhongmo Town. However, Shen Ting might still be bullied by malicious people at the school. For the sake of the children, they both came to Beijing.
Jiang Ci, Tao Susu, and Shen Conghe caught up and then prepared to go back.
It was almost noon, and she had no intention of staying for lunch; she was definitely leaving.
Mrs. Tao was still upset. She tried to persuade Jiang Ci to stay for a while, but to no avail. She could only watch Jiang Ci leave.
After seeing Jiang Ci off, Mrs. Tao gave Tao Susu a resentful look and said, "Why didn't you tell me sooner that Jiang Ci already had a family?"
Tao Susu smiled helplessly, "Big sister, you didn't say you liked Jiang Ci or wanted her to be your daughter-in-law."
That’s true.
Mrs. Tao sighed and said, "This Comrade Jiang came over a while ago, and my son Xiao Si has been a bit absent-minded ever since. Sometimes he's excited, and sometimes he's lost. I asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn't say. My father-in-law said he's lovesick."
“When I pressed Xiao Si about who she was in love with, the father-in-law got angry, chased after Xiao Si and beat her, saying that she was useless and couldn’t even handle such a small matter.”
What couldn't be accomplished naturally became Jiangci's responsibility.
"Later, when he told me about this, I learned that Xiao Si had fallen in love with Jiang Ci. He was upset because he couldn't do things for his sweetheart, and he was hit a few times by the old man. The old man even went to see Mr. Cheng about it."
Mrs. Tao frowned and sighed deeply, "Tell me, why did such a good girl have to get married so young!"
Tao Susu couldn't help but laugh, "She and her husband have a very good relationship, and their two children are very well-behaved. Don't even think about her."
“Before Conghe was in the cowshed, it was all thanks to Xiaoci who helped pass on messages and told us to wait patiently… If it weren’t for her advice… I don’t even want to think about what kind of bullying Xiaoting would have suffered if I had sent him to school during the time he was in the cowshed.”
Mrs. Tao patted her younger sister's hand affectionately, "I understand, I understand!"
Mr. Hobbens didn't return until late at night, just as Mr. Hobbens was coming home from get off work.
Seeing his daughter-in-law packing her things, Mr. Huo asked, "Did your sister come today? Why did she bring so many things?"
Hobbens went over and grabbed an apple to eat.
"They're here, but not all of these things were sent by Susu; some were also from Comrade Xiao Jiang." Mrs. Tao was annoyed whenever she saw her son, and slapped his hand, "Eat, eat, eat! Still eating!"
With apple flesh still in his mouth, Hobbens instinctively looked up when he heard "Comrade Jiang," and asked, "Jiang Ci is here?"
Mrs. Tao glanced at him sideways, and seeing his pathetic appearance, she became even more annoyed.
"They're here."
"She came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to thank you, Dad, but you weren't home."
Mr. Huo was taken aback. "Didn't Xiao Si's recommendation fail? How come she got into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Mrs. Tao: "Of course, it's because they are capable!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo laughed heartily and patted Hobbens on the shoulder, "Little Hobbens! See? The person your Grandpa Cheng introduced you to is quite good, isn't he!"
"You'd better hurry up! Working in the same Ministry of Foreign Affairs as her gives you a significant advantage! Don't dawdle!"
Hobbens clutched his head, squatted down, still holding the apple above his head, and wailed in pain, "Grandpa! Please stop talking!"
"You've got a big head on your shoulders! You can't even get a simple task done! Others get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through their own merit, and you're not even going to start chasing girls?"
"Xiao Si! You're almost twenty-three! If you don't hurry up, do you think any girl will still want you!"
Mr. Huo was quite satisfied with the Jiang porcelain.
Although Jiang Ci has no background, she is capable and has enough ability, so she is a good wife.
For so many years, Hobbens just hadn't gotten it, but when he met Jiang Ci, he started to feel a little flutter of interest. How could Mr. Hobbens not be anxious?
The right thing to do is to quickly win over the girl you like!
Mrs. Tao patted her son's head and said calmly to Mr. Huo, "It's no use him trying to stop her, Dad. Jiang Ci is already married."
"There are two more children."
Mr. Huo: "???"
Hobbens: ...
Hobbs cracked again.
