Ruan Qiqi first went back to the compound to pick up Manzai, and he had to go and sign the agreement in person.
“Oh my…”
As soon as she entered the yard, the big yellow dog, who was lazily lying in the sun, wagged its tail quickly and ran up to her to act coquettishly.
"Ma Ma-chan, be good!"
Ruan Qiqi stretched out her hand, touched the dog's head a few times, and fed it a few sausages.
The yellow dog, which was originally the most fierce one in the compound, was captured by her sausage and was more attentive to her than to his master Manzai.
The big yellow dog is a male, three years old, and his real name is Mama, which was given to him by Manzai.
Manzai likes to play house with others. He plays the father and others play the mother, but no other children are willing to cooperate. Three years ago, he picked up a little yellow dog, took it home, named it Mom, and played house with it.
Guan Zhihua and Grandpa Lou thought the name was inappropriate, so they changed it to Mama. Ruan Qiqi added a sauce and called it Mama sauce. Perhaps because the ham sausage was prestigious enough, the yellow dog accepted the new name very quickly.
"Qiqi, are you going out to play again?"
Manzai ran out happily with hopeful eyes.
After going out to collect debts several times, Manzai's heart became wild. He didn't even want to play with his favorite building blocks. He looked forward to Ruan Qiqi coming to pick him up every day.
"Yes, where are your parents?"
"Home, Dad, Mom, Qiqi is here!"
While calling, Manzai went to make tea and took out some melon seed snacks from the cupboard, cooking them in a very proper manner.
After the two elders went downstairs, Guan Zhihua looked much better and even walked less lamely.
"Uncle Lou, Mama Guan, I have something to tell you..."
Ruan Qiqi didn't say which department, she just said she would take Manzai to work, "The salary is 100 yuan, Manzai will only work with me. I promise that I will take good care of Manzai and will never let anything happen to him."
"Qiqi, you must first ensure your own safety. Manzai can serve the country. Even if he has something, it is more important than Mount Tai. Your uncle Lou and I will only be relieved. We are especially grateful that you can take Manzai with you, but you don't have to put yourself in danger to take care of Manzai."
Guan Zhihua spoke earnestly, and Mr. Lou nodded as well.
Of course they hope that their son can live a long life, but the depth of life is more important than its length. If Manzai sacrifices himself for the country, they will be sad but will never regret it.
Instead of locking Manzai up at home and letting him live a miserable life, it is better to let him go out and explore the world happily. Even if something really happens, it will be a worthy death, and they will only be proud of Manzai.
"Don't worry, Manzi and I will not be in danger. We will be fine."
Ruan Qiqi solemnly assured that she had space and nine lives, so how could anything happen to her.
Manzai is even less likely to happen. If there is real danger, just knock him out and bring him into the space.
After chatting with the two elders, Ruan Qiqi took Manzai to Wutong Western Pastry Shop. Manzai rode the bike and Ruan Qiqi sat behind him. Mamajiang's four-wheel drive was full of power and she ran happily behind him.
Guan Zhihua and Mr. Lou stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching their backs as they left with satisfaction.
"Our son Manzai has a job now and will be supported by the country in the future, all thanks to Qiqi and Xiaoye."
Guan Zhihua couldn't hide his happiness in his tone and was very grateful to Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye.
Even if she were to close her eyes immediately now, she would die without regrets.
"Good days are still to come. We must live well and enjoy the blessings of our children."
Mr. Lou patted his wife on the back and joked with a smile.
The two elders supported each other and went into the house happily. Ruan Qiqi and Manzai also found the Wutong Western Pastry Shop. The tempting aroma wafted from the door of the shop, making Mamajiang drool.
"We have friends all over the world. Comrade, give me a piece of chestnut cake, without chestnuts."
Ruan Qiqi said politely.
"Serving the people wholeheartedly, can I add almonds?"
A short and fat man in his thirties with a round face walked over. He smiled amiably and spoke with a distinct Shanghai accent.
“More caramel, please.”
After Ruan Qiqi finished speaking, the two exchanged glances, and the round-faced man smiled and said, "Comrade, please follow me!"
He said something to another young clerk, then took Ruan Qiqi, Manzai, and Mamajiang to the kitchen.
The kitchen looked no different from a normal Western pastry kitchen. The round-faced man pressed a button behind the bread oven, and a small door opened next to the bread oven, just enough for one person to enter and exit.
"This dog is quite spirited. What's his name?"
The round-faced man liked Mamajiang very much and reached out to stroke the dog's head, but Mamajiang was not a good person. She bared her fangs and almost bit a hole in his hand.
"Mom!"
"Ma Ma-chan!"
Manzai and Ruan Qiqi answered at the same time.
The round-faced man was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Both names are good."
He took out a piece of bread from his pocket and threw it over. Mama Jiang bit it accurately and ate it up in ravenous mouth. But she was not satisfied, so she took the initiative to run to the round-faced man, raised her head high, and begged him to stroke her.
The round-faced man smiled with great satisfaction, and fed Mamajiang a few more pieces of bread edges, completely conquering her and jerking her off several times.
After walking along a narrow road and going down dozens of steps, the round-faced man finally stopped, tapped on the wall three times, opened a door, and they went in and saw Pei Yuan with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to join 759!"
Ruan Qiqi and Manzai looked at him calmly. Pei Yuan did not get a warm response, so he touched his nose a little angrily and led them to sign the confidentiality agreement.
After signing the agreement, you will become a formal employee of 759.
"In order to facilitate operations, our comrades are called by code names. Comrade Ruan, Comrade Lou, what code names do you want to use?" Pei Yuan asked.
"Dear flower!"
Ruan Qiqi blurted out.
She just wanted to be a beautiful, cool and delicate flower.
Manzai didn't understand the meaning of the code name, so Ruan Qiqi explained: "What do you want others to call you?"
"dad!"
Manzai said happily.
Pei Yuan immediately objected: "Dad, no, you can use any nickname, but you can't be arbitrary. Think of another one."
If I really give him a code name for dad, he will have to call me dad every day. What a loss!
Ruan Qiqi agreed very much, she also didn't want to call Manzai dad.
Finally, Ruan Qiqi named it "Fumanduo", which means the instant noodles she loved to eat when she was a child in her previous life. It was cheap, large in quantity and filling.
The two of them have no tasks for the time being. Pei Yuan said he would call them if there is a task.
Ruan Qiqi will go to college in the second half of the year, and can still work in the winery for the time being.
When they left, the round-faced man Ding Yi gave Ma Ma Jiang a bag of bread crumbs, but Ruan Qiqi took half of it. She ate a piece on the way and found it tasted so good that she snatched the food from the dog's mouth without hesitation.
Mamajiang protested, but it was futile and she could only accept it.
The two went home directly. Ruan Qiqi planned to collect the debt slowly and wait until school started, so she was not in a hurry to ask Gao Yufei for money. She went home and lay down.
He lay there for three days. Brother Lu Jiefang at the border was anxiously waiting. After patrolling every day, they would stand on the road the postman must pass, waiting eagerly with their necks stretched a lot.
They had spent their last fifty cents and were completely penniless and out of food and ammunition.
"Brother, did sister-in-law not receive the letter?"
Lu Yuanchao was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He discovered that Houttuynia cordata was added to the porridge in the cafeteria at noon. He really couldn't understand why this stinky grass root could be used as a dish?
All the other comrades ate with gusto, but he and his brother spit out every bite they took. The squad leader scolded them and punished them to finish the bowl of porridge and run ten kilometers.
After eating the porridge, they only had one-third of their lives left, and after running, they only had a quarter of their lives left.
Lu Yuanchao touched his stomach and swore in his heart with gritted teeth: "He and Zhe Er Gen are sworn enemies. One day, he will burn all the Zhe Er Gen in this damn place!"
Lu Jiefang didn't even have the strength to speak. He finished the bowl of Houttuynia cordata and vomited his breakfast. Now his chest was sticking to his back, his eyes were blacking, and he only had one-fifth of his life left.
"Brother, is the postman here?"
Lu Yuanchao rubbed his eyes vigorously and confirmed that the green color coming from afar was his dear postman!
"Tashi Delek, haha, Tashi Delek, brother Doji!"
The two brothers suddenly became alert, and faster than lightning, they ran over like a gust of wind and teleported in front of the postman.
"Brother Doji, do you have our remittance slip?"
The two brothers stretched their heads as far as they could, wishing they could put their heads into the mail package to take a look.
"Lu Jiefang, right? There's a remittance slip. It's a lot of money!"
The postman was extremely envious. He had never seen so much money in his life and felt he could spend it until he died.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lu Jiefang was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic. His sister-in-law really sent him money. He and his brother would not starve to death!
After he signed, he finally got the remittance slip. When he saw the amount on it, he blinked and kicked his brother decisively.
"Ah...Brother, why did you kick me?"
Lu Yuanchao cried out in pain and questioned angrily.
"Hahahaha... this is really a blessing in disguise. We're going to make a fortune. My sister-in-law must be bad at math and must have made a mistake in her calculations!"
Lu Jiefang hugged his brother and shouted happily. He hadn't received the letter yet, and thought Ruan Qiqi was bad at math and had miscalculated the account, so he sent so much extra money.
Thank the Party, thank the people, thank my ex-girlfriend, and thank... um... my sister-in-law!
Lu Jiefang thanked her in his heart and was very grateful to Ruan Qiqi. Although she was fierce, she was good at accounting.
"Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria to cook a little!"
Lu Jiefang pulled his brother and ran towards the cafeteria, taking the remittance slip with him. The money could not be withdrawn until tomorrow, but he could use this slip to pay for a big meal in advance.
Tashi Delek!
Bazaar hey!
Thanks, sister-in-law!
[Finally finished writing. The author has tried Houttuynia cordata several times, but couldn't eat it. I really can't enjoy this delicacy. I hope that one day I will suddenly get the hang of it, just like eating durian, and be able to enjoy the deliciousness of Houttuynia cordata. Also, although today is the third update, there are nearly 8,000 words. The author is not lazy. He stayed at home to write during the National Day. Darlings, can you give me some free gifts or five-star praise? ]
