Chapter 32 Hooking up with the Aunt in the Village
"Comrade Ji, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Zhang Dawei said with a smile: "Usually our team is very harmonious."
Ji Yanming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as we don't let the comrades who do good things feel disappointed."
"No, no, everyone in our team is very nice and we won't let any good comrade down." Zhang Dawei was afraid that what happened just now would affect the public security comrades' view of their team. The advanced collective must not be affected.
The captain said some good things about his team and was relieved to see that Comrade Ji really didn't care.
.....
On the other side, Ning Xiyue hooked up with the aunt who had just laughed at Ning Xiaoxiao's intermittent limp. The two of them talked and laughed, and had a great time chatting like friends who had known each other for a long time.
Ning Xiyue learned from the conversation that her aunt's daughter-in-law had just given birth to a big fat grandson for her. She had taken leave from work in recent days to stay at home to take care of her grandson, so she had some time to chat with her here.
Moreover, this aunt is a relative of the brigade secretary and is also the women's director of the team. She is a powerful figure in the team.
Ning Xiyue felt that she was really lucky.
Although she first tried to get close to this aunt because she was very particular about her appearance, unlike the other aunts in the team who were so casual, and the people around her listened to her, she concluded that this aunt had a special status in the team, but she didn't expect that this aunt's status was so remarkable, and it was such a coincidence.
After chatting for a while, Ning Xiyue saw that they had almost finished talking, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her bag and handed them over: "Aunt Qiuju, come and eat some melon seeds, we can eat while we chat."
Aunt Qiuju was even happier. While cracking melon seeds, she thought to herself that this new educated youth named Xiao Ning was really capable. No wonder he received a certificate of honor and a letter of praise from the police comrades.
Aunt Qiuju was also a thoughtful person. She patted her chest and said, "Girl Xiyue, if you don't know anything, just ask me. There is nothing in this team that your Aunt Qiuju doesn't know."
"Aunt, I really have something to ask. I want to buy some daily necessities. I also want to ask if anyone in our team can make cabinets, tables, benches and other furniture. I want to make a set. The room I live in is bare and has nothing in it."
In fact, Ning Xiyue had already found out some information from Wu Guifang at the beginning, and knew which family in the team could exchange for household items and which family could exchange for furniture.
The secretary’s family is one of them, and they have a close relationship with the carpenter’s family in the team.
When good luck comes, it can't be stopped. Who would have known that the aunt she randomly picked from the crowd who she liked would become the secretary's wife.
Ning Xiyue thought of Aunt Qiuju's newly born grandson and her daughter-in-law who was in confinement, so she leaned close to her ear and continued:
"Aunt, I brought a lot of tickets with me when I went to the countryside, including brown sugar tickets, milk powder tickets, meat tickets, soap tickets, etc. I can use these to exchange. You also know that these have time limits, so you have to use them as soon as possible to avoid wasting them."
Ning Xiyue deliberately said that these bills were suitable for pregnant women and babies just to tempt Aunt Qiuju and make her help her wholeheartedly. Since ancient times, the interest relationship has been the most stable.
Sure enough, when Aunt Qiuju heard Ning Xiyue mention the brown sugar coupons and milk powder coupons, her eyes brightened up, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she became more enthusiastic and attentive to Ning Xiyue.
"Oh, Xiyue girl, you've asked the right person. My family doesn't have much else, but we have a lot of stuff. My uncle is a carpenter. People from several teams nearby make furniture for him. His craftsmanship is top-notch. No one who has made furniture for him has a bad opinion of it."
Aunt Qiuju took Ning Xiyue's arm and said with a smile, "Come on, Xiyue girl, I'll take you there. My uncle should be at home today. I'll take you to have a look. He has some finished furniture there. Maybe you can take it back today."
"As for the other household items, don't worry about them. I'll take you to my tool room to pick out whatever you want. I have them all made by your uncle and I. They're very sturdy. You can take whatever you like. I just want to ask if your brown sugar and milk powder coupons can be exchanged for mine first. My daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, and I want to exchange some for her and my grandson."
Ning Xiyue said sweetly: "Sure, Aunt Qiuju, it doesn't matter who I give it to. Aunt and I have such a good relationship, so of course I will give it to you first."
On the way, Aunt Qiuju never stopped talking and kept chatting with Ning Xiyue, asking Ning Xiyue if there was anything she was not used to after joining the team, and if there was anything she needed, and she could help find a solution.
Ning Xiyue knew that Aunt Qiuju's identity was very useful in the team, and she expressed some of her own ideas appropriately.
"Aunt Qiuju, I really have something to ask. I want to pay for it myself and ask the team leader to build a small wing next to the Youth League House to use as a kitchen and store some things. I just don't know if it's possible, and I'm not sure how to get the materials."
After saying that, he looked at Aunt Qiu Ju with a little embarrassment: "It's mainly because I like spicy food. In order not to affect everyone's meal and avoid unnecessary conflicts, I want to cook alone."
If you want to cook your own food, you will need to find someone to build a stove, and you will also need a place to store kitchen utensils and firewood. Building a small side room is the most suitable, and building a kitchen requires materials and people.
She, an educated youth who was unfamiliar with the place, couldn't do anything and was clueless about everything.
It is much more convenient to have a local person leading the way.
"Aunt, money and notes are not a problem. Just build the house. My parents are both senior technical workers in the factory, and they get a lot of notes subsidies. I also have an older brother in the army, and a second brother in the Dahuai team next door. They will all subsidize me."
Aunt Qiuju looked at Ning Xiyue with even more passion.
Wow, this young educated youth’s family is so nice.
Ning Xiyue knew that she had succeeded. In the countryside, if one person knew it, it would become known to everyone.
No matter where you are, money and family background will make others treat you better, especially those who want to get something from you.
Living her life over again, she didn't want to compromise herself. She wanted to eat and drink as she pleased, and use what she needed. She had to use the golden finger.
In the future, you can also use some things that you don’t really need to exchange with people in the team for things that you do need, or exchange them for some specialties to send back home.
In the process, I won over people's hearts, which was a win-win situation and benefited my life in the countryside for the next two years.
As for if there really are bad people who covet her money, she would not worry at all. She could just beat them up one by one and establish her authority.
When Aunt Qiuju got the information that Ning Xiyue deliberately revealed, she cared about her more than her own son.
What is most lacking in rural areas? Of course, various bills. Obviously, this new educated youth is not short of these things. As long as she gets along well with the educated youth Xiao Ning, then why would she worry about the lack of bills in the future? I won’t worry anymore.
Even the issue of milk powder for her grandson has been solved.
"Xiyue girl, I have made a promise to you, your aunt. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. In this team, your aunt Qiuju's words are still effective. If you want to build a small side room to serve as a kitchen, leave it to me. I will help you with everything and prepare all the materials and people for you."
Aunt Qiuju spoke with true feelings.
This was exactly what Ning Xiyue wanted.
She smiled happily and said, "It is my honor to be a close friend of Aunt Qiuju, and I am very happy. I would like to thank Aunt Qiuju here first. I will definitely ask Aunt Qiuju for help if I have any problems in the future."
