Chapter 108 Chapter 108 "Just taking a break?"
Jiang Shuangshuang and her partner did not leave with empty hands.
From the first day they arrived, Aunt Feng had been thinking about bringing something back for them. They couldn't just accept such a big box and feel at ease, right?
Not to mention that Huanhuan later became pregnant, and her second sister bought a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative.
So Aunt Feng had already prepared it. Although the items she prepared were not worth much, they were all carefully prepared, including some pickled vegetables, some local specialties, and some items that the boy in the family got from the mountains.
Two large baskets were prepared, just waiting for them to take with them when they left.
I originally thought it was not enough, but there was nothing else good to buy at home.
Not to mention that he also found a job for Erchuan, so he owed him even more of a favor. When he left, Huanhuan kept crying, but the others invited him warmly, welcoming them to come often in the future and saying that since they were close, they could just send whatever they got directly to them, and they should visit each other more often.
Aunt Feng even thought about sending vegetables to the young couple every half a month. The two young people had never worked in the fields before, and even if they had a yard, they probably wouldn't be good at growing vegetables.
It just so happens that they have more crops in their own plots, so they send some crops every ten days or half a month.
It is a bit troublesome, but the kindness I have shown you cannot be repaid with just this little trouble.
Who in the entire team doesn’t envy the Feng family now?
Originally, those people laughed privately, saying that her son Erchuan married an educated youth from the city, and once the policy changed, his wife would definitely abandon him and go back to the city.
Or they would joke that if he married a city girl, he might become a city person in the future, and it was all thanks to him for thinking long-term and taking action in advance.
Even though they say so, there are actually many people who are laughing at them behind their backs.
Why would Xiao Huanhuan, a city girl, be willing to marry a country boy? It's because her family is unreliable and she doesn't want to suffer. She wants to stay with a man first and then go back to the city if she has the chance.
What they said was so unpleasant, even though they would give those foul-mouthed people a good beating every time they heard it, but these words had already been heard by their ears and they would only feel angry. However, for Huanhuan, the person involved, it was particularly heartbreaking.
And now all the troubles are solved.
With work targets hanging in the balance, who in the team wouldn't want to give Huanhuan a good face? It can be said that Huanhuan is the most popular person in the whole team. Even if they want to say something gossipy, they will only say it quietly and still be polite on the surface.
The Feng family also benefited from this.
Even the widow Feng, whom she hated the most, was smiling when she saw her today and tried to make friends with her. Even though her smile was stiff, she didn't say a single unpleasant word.
After all was said and done, the Feng family really owed the Jiang family a huge favor. Since they couldn't take out the valuables at the moment, they could only make up for it from other places first.
Before the two of them left, Aunt Feng found out their address clearly and was waiting to pick two baskets of vegetables and send them over at the beginning of next month.
Jiang Shuangshuang is also looking forward to her future home.
Comrade Cheng had described it to her in detail before, but no matter how detailed the description was, it was not as vivid as seeing it in person.
So during the three-hour journey, she showed some rare excitement and held Comrade Cheng's hand all the time, and the two of them went all the way back to the army.
The first place they went to was the family compound.
It was dinner time, and although there were few people on the path, one could still smell the aroma of rice wafting from the courtyards on the street from time to time.
"Shall we go to the cafeteria to eat first or go home directly?"
"Go home!" Jiang Shuangshuang answered without hesitation. Although she was very hungry, she couldn't stop herself from going home.
"The stove at home isn't lit yet. I'll borrow a stove from the side later. Let's boil some water and heat up some biscuits to fill our stomachs first." Cheng Jin arranged everything. As he was talking, two people suddenly walked out of the yard next to him. One of the aunties greeted him immediately when she saw him, "Xiao Cheng, you're finally back. Is this your wife? I was shocked when I heard Gao Fei say that you were married. Didn't our Deputy Head Cheng say that he didn't want to consider his lifelong affairs?"
These words were indeed said by Cheng Jin.
It was said more than once or twice. With his achievements, he was considered a particularly outstanding figure in the army. As soon as he turned 20, someone introduced him to a girl.
After it happens too many times, I get annoyed and just say straight out that I don't consider life-long matters, and tell those who have such thoughts to stop.
Otherwise, Director Wei would not have used other excuses to trick him into going to the small park for a blind date. Fortunately, Director Wei coaxed him over, otherwise he would not have gone to the small park to meet Shuangshuang.
Facing the neighbors' jokes, he raised his hand and said carefully, "I didn't meet her."
"Oh, it turns out that married people are more talkative than before." Aunt He smiled and chatted with Cheng Jin's wife for a few more words, saying, "You just applied for the yard, right? Then go back and take a look. After you settle down, I and Lao He will come to visit you."
Without further delay, they were allowed to go back and settle down.
As soon as the couple left, she thought of the people around her, "See, I was so happy that I forgot about you. Our old man He was worried about Xiao Cheng's life. Now that I see him getting married, I feel much more at ease."
"Is he Deputy Head Cheng?"
"Yes, he is a good comrade." Aunt He nodded repeatedly. "Because of Lao He, Xiao Cheng and I have known each other for several years. I am not exaggerating, he is really a good person. I originally wanted to introduce my niece to him, but he refused before I could finish my words. Lao He kept saying that he was not open-minded and that he would get along well with more people. Guess what happened?"
The people around her didn't pay much attention to what she said, but kept staring at the backs of the two people in front of her. She couldn't help thinking that after not seeing each other for so many years, she didn't expect that the young man in her memory has now grown into a man who stands tall and proud.
People are so different from each other that even if they are related by blood, they cannot be two similar people, just like his two brothers and him.
"...the two of them actually met, but he ran away within two minutes of meeting. It's just like he said, you have to meet the right person." Aunt He was talking when she noticed that the people around her were a little absent-minded, so she asked, "What's wrong? Xiaolin, Linlin?"
Lin Lin came back to her senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I suddenly remembered something from the past."
"Is that so..." Aunt He looked at the person in front of her.
In fact, she and Lin Lin had only known each other for a short time, but she knew some of Lin Lin's past. She probably remembered her own failed marriage when she saw the happy couple.
It would be bad to rub salt into her wound, so I quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I've asked someone to bring the ointment you asked me for last time. It's a bit expensive but the effect is really good. Even if the two elders of the Gu family don't say it, they must like everything you've done."
"I know the effect is good, so I trouble you to pass on a message for me." Lin Lin grinned, but she felt a little annoyed in her heart.
If the Gu family really liked her, they wouldn't ask people to buy things for her or do things for her. But after doing so much, she still can't enter the Gu family.
She has to please both elders and appease other members of the Gu family. Otherwise, who in the Gu family would be willing for a divorced woman like her to marry the most promising man in the Gu family?
Yes, if Gu Yuanwei was not so capable, she might not necessarily look up to him. But it seemed like she was stuck in a vicious circle. The more capable Gu Yuanwei was, the more the Gu family valued him, and they were not happy at all for him to marry a woman with a "stain".
Even if Gu Yuanwei himself is willing, those people in the Gu family will still give him the cold shoulder, not only the elders of the Gu family, but also Gu Yuanwei's sister.
Thinking of this, she felt a headache again.
Originally, she wanted to find a more promising partner for Gu Xiumin, and she did inquire around, and after much searching, she finally found a good candidate.
So far, it seems that everything has come to nothing.
The man she was inquiring about had just gone to his new home holding his wife's hand. She didn't know how to explain to Gu Xiumin. Who knew that Cheng Jin would suddenly get married.
…
Jiang Shuangshuang is really satisfied with her new home!
It is the yard at the innermost of the family compound. On one side is a wall about two meters high, and on the other side is a similar yard.
The only difference was that there was a lush date tree planted in her yard. Now was the fruit-bearing season, and the tree was full of fruits. However, she found that the fruits on one side of the branch had been picked clean. She estimated that the branch fell outside the wall and the fruits on it were knocked down by someone.
"Let's get two baskets first!"
Jiang Shuangshuang was already excited before she even entered the yard. She rubbed her hands as she walked forward, wishing she could just climb up the tree and pick all the dates on it!
"No rush, let's go inside and take a look first." Cheng Jin was different.
He was more interested in the house than the yard.
The small courtyard house had two floors. Holding hands, they went straight up to the second floor and walked into the largest room on the second floor.
There was only a wooden bed and the luggage they brought with them in the room.
He had previously asked Gu Gaofei to bring back the luggage and prepare a temporary bed, otherwise they would have no place to sleep when they returned.
Fortunately, he was very thoughtful. Not only did he arrange the bed, he also put pillows and bedding on it, so I could go to sleep right away.
Thinking of this, Comrade Cheng couldn't help but clear his throat and said, "I must be tired after sitting in the car for so long, how about we take a break first?"
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him and said, "Just take a break?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Cheng Jin was startled by her words. He didn't know if it was because of the cough or some other reason, but his face instantly turned red. He opened his mouth hesitantly, "Well, that's fine too..."
"What's the good of that?" Jiang Shuangshuang poked his arm unhappily and said with a smile, "I'm starving to death. Hurry up and borrow some coal to eat!"
