Chapter 61 Chapter 61 (Catching Bugs) It is his most most most most...
But Zhao Lizhu didn't care too much about what was in the big bag. Jiang Xiaozhou had come back from school and cooked dinner. Zhao Lizhu helped and kept talking, "Didn't you see that Xu Tan was not afraid at all when he was talking in front of so many people? There was also an old man who was particularly fierce. He cursed when he got the ingredients he didn't like. In the end, Xu Tan persuaded him back with just a few words..."
While waiting in line, compared to the people around her who were worried about not being able to buy, she was only concerned about the man standing in front of her at the warehouse door. Her heart and eyes were filled with him. For the first time, she felt that her partner was better than she had imagined. He was not afraid of so many city people at all, and he could handle some unexpected situations quickly. If something happened, many people in textile factory uniforms would come to him for advice.
Seeing this made her heart beat wildly, and she was extremely eager to share it.
So, she couldn't brag about the person in front of her future father-in-law, so she went to Jiang Xiaozhou.
Using the excuse of helping, she kept talking nonsense in front of Xiaozhou's brother. When Jiang Shuangshuang came back, Jiang Xiaozhou was already a little dizzy from what she said.
At first he thought it was quite interesting, and he agreed with his cousin's wife when she talked about it. Later he realized that his cousin's wife didn't need anyone to agree with her at all. She just wanted to talk, and it didn't matter whether he listened or not...
When he saw his second sister, he stood up straight and ran out, shouting, "Sister, you're finally back! Come on, let me help."
It is impossible to carry so many large bags back by human beings.
Some smart people found carts to help transport goods in textile factories. As long as they were in the family compound, it only cost three cents per trip. If people bought less, they could share a trip with others, so it was not expensive.
Jiang Shuangshuang was looking for someone to pull a cart. The eight bags she bought and the five bags bought by Aunt Xu were all unloaded at the gate of the big courtyard. Jiang Xiaozhou ran over first, followed by his uncle and Lizhu who also came to help.
After everyone moved into the house, Jiang Shuangshuang said to Aunt Xu, "Come to the kitchen any day when you are free. It's up to you."
"That's great. Your family will definitely be busy today and tomorrow, so I'll come the day after tomorrow." Aunt Xu smiled so much that wrinkles formed at the corners of her eyes. She paid 60 yuan for Xiao Jiang. If one pound of pork is charged at one dime per piece, she could get nearly 55 pounds of smoked pork from Xiao Jiang.
She has never had so much pork in her home since she was a child!
But it's not just for her family to eat, some of it has to be traded out, but even so it's still worth being happy about.
After seeing off Aunt Xu, Jiang Shuangshuang went back to the house. As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Xiaozhou squatting there unpacking the package. He said happily: "Sister, this idea of yours is really interesting. It's as interesting as opening a treasure."
He took out a piece of military green cloth and held it up to his body, "Sister, do you think this looks good on me?"
Military green is definitely a color that everyone likes.
He got this color when he opened the first big bag, which proved that he was particularly lucky and this material was made for him!
But even though he wanted it back, he didn't dare to reach out directly.
In the past, I felt justified in asking for things from my elder and second sisters, and would act like a rogue if they didn’t give me anything. I could get what I wanted seven or eight times out of ten.
But until half a year ago, every time I reached out my hand, I got slapped. The first time I got slapped, I was in disbelief and even got angry at my second sister. In the end, my butt was almost swollen...
After being beaten several times in a row, he learned his lesson and only dared to ask in a tactful way when he wanted something. Just like now, when he looked at his second sister eagerly without saying anything, he repeatedly promised: "Give me two days and I will pack these eight bags properly. I will definitely not let you get tired."
Jiang Shuangshuang patted his shoulder.
Even though he is a few years younger than her, he is almost the same height as her. The boy looks so pitiful, which looks ugly no matter how you look at him.
But I still have to praise this guy, after all, it really makes things easier with him around.
The house is kept in order and my cooking skills are getting better and better.
Thinking about being separated from this kid in the future, she really couldn't bear to let him go. "Pick out three pieces of cloth and take them to Grandma Wu to make three sets of clothes for you. The remaining scraps will be your reward."
If you make a new garment from a whole piece of fabric, you can always save some.
Although these scraps of fabric cannot be used to sew a new set of clothes, they can be used to make underwear or to sew old clothes as patches.
If all else fails, you can make it into a hair tie. Anyway, many people are eager to help, and getting some scraps of cloth is better than nothing.
"Three sets?!" Jiang Xiaozhou's eyes suddenly became starry.
He is no longer the same person he used to be. From now on, he will be Jiang Xiaozhou who has received three new sets of clothes!
Three sets!
I feel like I can’t even wear it anymore. “Can I have the military green material?”
"It's no use asking me. You have to open it and see if there is any military green material inside." Jiang Shuangshuang didn't care.
It was originally bought for his family, so he wants whatever he wants. It’s impossible for such a hardworking brother to fail to meet even such a small request, right?
She is a generous sister and must be satisfied!
"I have a piece of thick military green cotton here." Zhao Lijuan thought of the material she had just unpacked and said, "It's not too big, but it should be able to be made into a coat. I'll show it to you."
Jiang Xiaozhou was a little hesitant and was embarrassed to ask for things from his future cousin's wife.
"If she wants it, just exchange it with other cloths." Jiang Shuangshuang said, "There are so many cloths that she must like."
"That's right." Xu Shuisheng also nodded. He was becoming more and more satisfied with his future daughter-in-law. The girl was very capable and got along very well with his eldest sister's family.
And he had actually heard it just now. He could feel Zhao Lizhu's admiration for her son from her words.
He was quite proud of himself. Looking at his son controlling the situation in front, for a moment he didn't dare to acknowledge him. Anyway, if it were him, he really wouldn't dare to speak in front of so many people. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"Yes, if you like it, take it." Zhao Lizhu took out the piece of cloth. It was pure green, which looked better than light green. "You still have so many packages that you haven't opened yet. If I find something I like, I won't be polite to you."
Jiang Xiaozhou really liked it at first sight.
Since no one had any objections, I happily agreed.
He was already impatient as he held the piece of cloth in his hands: "I want Grandma Wu to make me a dress with three pockets. It has to be made bigger. I am growing up now, so it has to be at least two sizes bigger."
"It seems like you really like it. Are you planning to wear it until the year you get married and have children?" Xu Shuisheng joked.
But a little brat didn't know how to be shy, "I won't marry a wife. If I marry a wife, I will have to share candy with her."
He saw it all!
My cousin stuffed all the candies in his hand into his cousin's wife's hand, and he did it happily.
He felt a pang of pain at the thought that all his candies would have to go to his wife in the future.
By the way, it’s not just for my wife.
If his wife has younger brothers and sisters, he, as her brother-in-law, has to give them sweets.
If he stuffs too much, he will feel the pain; if he stuffs too little, his younger brothers and sisters will think he is just peeled ginger.
Just like Fengzi's sneaky brother-in-law.
He shook his head in fear and quickly changed the subject: "Sister, Mom said she would be back later today, so she asked us to eat first."
Jiang Shuangshuang then realized that Xu's mother was not at home, "Where did she go?"
Knowing that she would bring back some fabric, she thought that Mother Xu would definitely be waiting for her early. After all, few people could resist opening the blind bag to see what was inside.
"She went to the old house." Jiang Xiaozhou frowned. "Someone said that the old house borrowed a lot of money to buy cloth. She was afraid that this matter would eventually affect our family, so she had to explain it clearly to the people there."
"Borrow money?" Jiang Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows.
Could it be that Jiang Qing is up to something again?
But this time she guessed wrong. Jiang Qing actually thought this was a good opportunity. She could make some money by getting some defective cloth and reselling it.
But unfortunately, no one at home listens to her.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion Jiang Nannan fed them, but whether it was my dad or my brothers and sisters-in-law, they all regarded her as the leader.
They do whatever they are told to do and don't even dare to question it.
At the beginning, several sisters-in-law relied on each other to borrow money from their parents' homes, and they almost got into a fight over this.
Who could have thought that once Jiang Nannan opened her mouth, none of them dared to say a word and told her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money. Not only did they borrow money, but Jiang Nannan herself borrowed two hundred yuan from somewhere. This time, the textile factory was dealing with defective cloth, and they were the family that carried back the most bags of cloth in the entire mansion.
There are about thirty packs in total!
That’s just over three hundred yuan!
Jiang Qing was still wondering where the money came from when Xu Yingxia, who had heard the news from somewhere, rushed over. It was the first time they saw her daring enough to challenge them and she was yelling at them directly in the yard of the mansion.
In the end, it was just that she felt that the old house had borrowed too much money and she was afraid that they would bring trouble to her.
What she didn't expect was that it would be Jiang Nannan who would show up this time. When would it be Jiang Nannan's turn to be the head of the Jiang family?
Seeing her holding a letter of commitment signed by her and Xu Yingxia, Jiang Qing leaned against the door and snorted coldly, "Dad really values you. Otherwise, you might as well find a husband so that your children can follow the Jiang family name in the future."
Jiang Nannan ignored her ridicule and asked, "I heard you're getting a divorce?"
"What else? You don't really think I'm willing to stay with him for the rest of my life?" Jiang Qing had already planned to divorce, but she couldn't go through with it now. The quota for going to the countryside had been decided, but they were being sent there in batches, and there was still one batch that hadn't left, and she didn't want to be forced to go there.
So we have to wait until everyone has left before announcing the divorce.
Anyway, she would definitely not spend her whole life with a cripple.
Although the family lived well in their previous life, and He Jiang Nannan was one of the first to buy a commercial building, wasn't it just a small elevator apartment? How could it compare to the richest man in their province?
Jiang Nannan looked at her strangely. "I heard from grandma that you chose Ma Jian because you dreamed that he would become rich in the future?"
"..." Jiang Qing had a strange look on his face.
I felt guilty and angry that my mother told everything to others.
Can you tell this to outsiders?
Jiang Nannan didn't ask any more questions. The answer could be seen from the expression on Jiang Qing's face.
When grandma first heard it, she actually thought it was funny.
It was simply a laughable excuse. This aunt was so stupid that she didn't even know how to make up an excuse.
But then I thought about it.
She found that many things didn't make sense before.
How did Jiang Qing know that she knew Fang's level? At that time, Jiang Qing threatened her, saying that if he didn't help her, he would tell everyone her secret.
At that time, she thought the secret in Jiang Qing's mouth was that she cut off Jiang Shuangshuang's beard, but later she found out that the secret in Jiang Qing's mouth was just that she knew the other party.
And when Jiang Qing found out that she and Cheng Jin were secretly together, his reaction was even greater than anyone else's.
And the crazy whispers at the newspaper office. It really felt like she knew something they didn't.
So she really thought about whether the explanation of dreaming was possible.
An annual income of over ten thousand is simply unbelievable.
But it's not like she can't take a gamble.
If she won the bet, everyone would be happy. But if she lost, she didn't seem to have suffered any loss. She didn't seem to notice Jiang Qing's strange expression, but smiled and said, "Grandpa is right. After all, we are all family. If my aunt really wants to marry Ma Jian, why don't I help?"
"You want to help me?!" Jiang Qing suddenly stood up straight, surprised and then ecstatic, "Are you really willing to help me?"
Don't be fooled by her gloomy face just now, it's just jealousy. Even her father is willing to put down his dignity and let a granddaughter take charge of the family. It's naturally because they all value Jiang Nannan's abilities.
If such a capable person is willing to help her, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!
"Let's make a deal. Are you really willing to help me?"
Jiang Nannan just smiled softly, "If you want to marry Ma Jian, all you have to do is let Li Zhen take the initiative to divorce him. In fact, you don't need to use any conspiracy or trickery."
"What do you mean? Are you going to let her take the initiative to divorce without using some means?"
"Why not?" She continued, "They were originally a couple who got married later in life and had no emotional foundation. Li Zhen was willing to marry Ma Jian because she had no choice. If she didn't get married, it would not only affect her, but also her family..."
She specifically went to find out about the Li family.
The more he got to know Li Zhen, the more he envied her. Although they were both women, Li Zhen was loved by her family and everyone was willing to protect her from the wind and rain.
Perhaps it was for this reason that she did not want to burden her family anymore, so she chose to start a family with Majian.
Based on this point alone, we can guess that there is definitely no emotional foundation between the two of them.
Once external forces intervene, the relationship between them can easily collapse.
Therefore, with the help of external forces, this marriage relationship can be easily resolved.
"Then what external force can we use?" Jiang Qing asked quickly. She felt that Jiang Nannan was right. She didn't believe that Ma Jian would like Li Zhen. How could Ma Jian like a woman who had been cheated on and gave birth to a child?
But Ma Jian is so outstanding. Even if Li Zhen doesn't like him now, she will like him sooner or later. They must be separated before she falls in love with him.
"Li Zhen cares a lot about her family, so we can think about it from this perspective." Jiang Nannan had obviously thought about it, otherwise she wouldn't have said it directly at this moment. "Her two nephews will be of the age to go to the countryside next year. If you promise her that you can give her two nephews a job, will she agree to your divorce?"
"Give me two jobs?" Jiang Qing frowned and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Jiang Nannan: "Ten years later, the annual income will be over ten thousand. It's worth it to exchange it for two jobs."
Jiang Qing shut up. If she calculated it this way, the exchange would definitely be worth it, but the problem was that if she could find a job, she wouldn't have to marry that cripple.
Jiang Nannan looked at her with a chuckle, her eyes full of temptation: "So have you ever had any other dreams, like the dream of hiding pork somewhere? As long as you can get the money, I can help you get two jobs, and then... you can get what you want!"
Jiang Qing can achieve her wish, and she can also confirm whether the "dream" is true or false.
If it's fake, it's all a joke.
But she didn't lose anything either. It was just a matter of effort to have a game with Jiang Qing.
But if it's true...
Then she would definitely treat Jiang Qing as her closest aunt and get more words out of her.
Before she met Cheng Jin, she always thought that the best way was to find a good home and leave the Jiang family.
But now she understood.
Instead of relying on a man, it is better to take everything into your own hands.
Because only she will not let herself down.
So what she wants most now is not a man or love, but money!
…
Xu Yingxia arrived home half an hour later.
He held a letter of commitment in his hand, saying that no matter what happened to the Jiang family in the future, they would have nothing to do with them. "They are really brave. They are not afraid of any accidents in the middle of the loan when they lend so much money."
She was really shocked when she heard it.
All of them borrowed more than 300 yuan, which was enough for a year's salary at the old house.
Especially for those people who can barely eat enough with the salary they receive now, let alone save money. If something happens, they don’t know when they can pay back the more than 300 yuan.
If she really can't pay it back, she might have to suffer as well.
After thinking it over, she decided to go to the Jiang family and make a scene. She wanted to make a scene for others to see, to let everyone know that they actually dared to borrow money from the Jiang family, so they shouldn't come back to her if they really can't get the money back.
Especially with the letter of commitment in her hand, she felt more at ease. If someone really came to her, no one would force her to pay off the Jiang family's debts based on this letter of commitment.
However, looking at Jiang Nannan's signature on the letter of commitment, she sighed: "Who could have thought that it would be Jiang Nannan's turn to be the boss of the old house now? I wouldn't have dared to think about this a month ago."
An inconspicuous person actually became the pillar of the family.
I heard that the intention to borrow money was because of Jiang Nannan's idea. The old man trusted her so much. I think he was particularly disappointed in other people. Otherwise, he clearly favored sons over daughters but had to pay attention to his granddaughter. If his other sons and grandsons were not incapable of handling the matter, how could he lose face?
"If their family bullies you, just send a message to the brigade. Even if we are far away, I will bring two boys from my family to support you." Xu Shuisheng was a little worried.
It's not that he is worried that the Jiang family will really bully others. If they really dare to bully, he will roll up his sleeves and deal with them.
But what he was worried about was that his elder sister would only report the good news and not the worries.
I kept all the suffering to myself, fearing that the relationship with the old house would become more strained and I was afraid of causing trouble for them.
"Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as before." Xu Yingxia felt that she had changed a lot. She said that Jiang Nannan was insignificant, but in fact, wasn't she being oppressed even more?
But she was too concerned at the time and had to swallow all the hardships herself, causing her three children to suffer with her.
But now it is different.
Resistance is not as difficult as I imagined, and the feeling after resistance is particularly comfortable, as if I were reborn.
Moreover, she herself couldn't believe that one day she would dare to challenge her parents-in-law directly.
After he finished his nagging, he noticed the large bags piled on the ground.
She looked at the unpacked fabrics and was delighted: "Xu Tan and his brother did a great job. The fabrics they selected are all popular with everyone, and there are not many flaws on them. Many people in the factory are praising them."
They are all our own factories, so who doesn’t know what kind of fabrics are produced on the assembly lines?
Even the unsaleable goods piled up in the old warehouse, everyone knew clearly what kind of materials were inside.
Although the fabrics in the blind bags this time are a bit mixed, they are all of the better quality. This is why so many people praise it. Even if you don’t know what’s inside when you buy it, everyone is quite satisfied after taking it out.
"That was also my cousin's idea!" Xu Tan walked into the house. As soon as he reached the door, he heard his aunt praising him. He quickly explained, "If it weren't for my cousin's idea, I wouldn't have been able to express myself at all."
"The idea was mine, but whether you can pull it off is also up to you." Jiang Shuangshuang was really praising him. If you are given an opportunity, you have to have the ability to seize it.
It is obvious that the two cousins were caught this time.
"Shuangshuang, next time you should do it by yourself." Xu Shuisheng had long known that his niece was capable, and he also knew that it was Shuangshuang who brought up the idea today. He heard that the factory kept praising her, and even the deputy director attached great importance to this matter.
Who knows, we might get a medal later, and let the Xu Tan brothers host this event, and the credit will be shared between the two brothers.
As a father, he was definitely happy that his son was praised, but he felt guilty when he thought that the credit was taken from his niece. "If you have the ability to do a better job, there is no need to let the two brothers share your credit."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.
Xu Yingxia looked left and right. In fact, she was also quite puzzled. Why did Shuangshuang let Xu Tan run errands for something that Shuangshuang could handle herself?
It’s not that she doesn’t want her two nephews to be well, she just doesn’t quite understand.
Jiang Shuangshuang was silent for a while.
She didn't expect that her uncle would bring it up so directly, but she was actually happier after hearing this. She smiled and said, "I have a job. Instead of making a suggestion and letting the textile factory give me a reward, it would be better to let the textile factory have a deeper impression of my cousins. This way, maybe I can get more opportunities."
She doesn't need such an award; what she wants is to create momentum.
Let everyone in the textile factory have an impression of the two cousins.
They left a deep impression on the deputy factory director, making him feel that the two brothers were talented and promising, and he decided to keep them.
This was not just Jiang Shuangshuang's momentary thought.
But after confirming the relationship with Comrade Cheng, I had other ideas.
She was very interested in the small courtyard described by Comrade Cheng. Although not now, there would always be a day when she would live in that courtyard and regard it as her own home.
But if she really went.
As for Xu's mother and Jiang Xiaozhou staying here, let's not talk about whether they will be bullied, but if her uncle's family is in the city, at least the mother and son will have someone to rely on, and she will feel more at ease.
Of course, that's what I think.
But she is not sure whether it will succeed in the end.
Just like herself, she would often send thieves to the police station at that time, and one of the reasons was to improve her impression points in front of them.
I was thinking of trying it first.
If it really doesn't work out, she will definitely take over Xu's job in the end.
Anyway, she doesn't need too much honor, especially since this honor is really useless to her. Even if the textile factory likes her, it is impossible for them to give her a promotion or a raise. Even if they are willing to provide her with a work target, she will not quit her job at the Public Security Bureau and go to the textile factory.
Therefore, it would be better to give this opportunity to the Xu and Tan brothers.
The uncle's family had always been very kind to them, and if they could really take advantage of this opportunity to allow the two brothers or one of them to stay in the city, they would definitely take better care of Mrs. Xu and her son.
"Opportunity?" Xu Yingxia seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly showed reluctance, but she did not show anything, but said: "That's good, young people should have more opportunities."
"What opportunity?" Xu Shuisheng didn't understand, but seeing Xu Tan suddenly excited, it was obviously something good. But before he could ask more, Xu Yingxia changed the subject, picked up a piece of material, and said, "There aren't many flaws on this material. It's a waste to put it all in the old warehouse."
Xu Tan explained, "There are quite a few materials with many defects, but when we were distributing them, the deputy factory manager told us to pack the materials with fewer defects first."
Based on this point, he felt that the deputy factory director was still concerned about the people.
After all, there were countless fabrics with many defects in the old warehouse. If he and his elder brother hadn't remembered them all, they would not have been able to distinguish so many fabrics with fewer defects.
"The deputy factory director is really kind." Zhao Lizhu pulled a piece of dark material and gestured towards Xu Tan. She wanted to say something intimate to him, but she was embarrassed to do so with so many people in the room.
She could only bite her lips with a red face, planning to follow Xu Tan to see him off when he left.
Everyone in the room continued chatting about the topic of fabric.
After dinner, Xu Tan had to hurry back to the factory, and Zhang Lizhu followed him to see him off. The uncle and Jiang Xiaozhou took the dishes and chopsticks back to the stove room to clean up, thinking of learning from their nephew how to smoke meat.
The pork that Shuangshuang gave them last time hasn’t been finished yet.
I also smoked it over the fire, but the smell was not as fragrant as Jiang Xiaozhou's.
As soon as they left, only the mother and daughter were left in the room.
Xu Yingxia, who was sitting on the chair, looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Jiang Shuangshuang waited for her to speak, but she never spoke. "If you don't say anything, then I'll go out for a walk?"
It's not dark yet, so she can still wander around the alley.
Take a walk, take a break and eat, and maintain her identity as a street girl.
Xu Yingxia looked up at her and asked, "Do you want your cousin to stay in the city?"
Jiang Shuangshuang asked back, "Isn't it good?"
"How could it be bad..." Xu Yingxia felt a little reluctant.
Of course she was happy that her nephew could stay in the city, but she also knew that Shuangshuang must have done this for a reason.
Think about who will come to her house tomorrow, can't she guess the reason?
I was originally looking forward to my future son-in-law coming to my house, and I couldn't wait for him to arrive and meet him.
She was so excited that she forgot that he was a soldier in the army, and they both left with him early.
Compared to Huanhuan, leaving each other is not a bad thing.
Being able to live in the army, having enough food and clothing, and having someone to protect and accompany you, is definitely better than the current situation.
But once I leave, I don’t know when I will see you again.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt reluctant to leave, but she didn't dare to say it. Shuangshuang was obviously worried about them, so she thought that Xu Tan and his brother could protect them in the city.
Shuangshuang cared so much about them, how could she be so cruel as to say that she couldn't bear to let her go, making Shuangshuang unable to leave with Cheng Jin at ease?
Xu Yingxia felt a little sour in her nose, but she tried her best to hold it back, and forced a smile, saying, "That's definitely a good thing. I'll have an acquaintance to hang out with when things are over, and you don't have to worry about Mom being bullied. Look how brave I was today? I rushed to the old house alone to challenge them, and they didn't dare to say a word..."
She said a lot of things, saying that she was brave, that she would not be bullied again, that she was no longer the same person she was before, and that no one could bully her family as long as she was around.
After a long speech, she emphasized at the end: "So don't worry, a girl shouldn't worry about this and that like an old lady. I am your mother, no matter what, it is my responsibility to protect you."
At the end, he couldn't help choking up.
Tears couldn't stop falling. She felt so ashamed. How could she cry like this in front of Shuangshuang? She couldn't even speak steadily...
Just when I was thinking about covering my face and going out to hide, I didn't want to be hugged by the person in front of me. I felt a gentle pat on my back and heard a gentle voice in my ear, "But you have protected us for more than 20 years. Now it's my turn to protect you. Isn't it my duty?"
Father Jiang died so early.
At that time, Jiang Xiaozhou was only about two or three years old.
If Mother Xu had only cared about herself, she would not have been exploited by the Jiang family for so many years. She could have just walked away. She was still very young at that time, and it would have been no problem for her to start a family again.
But she still stayed, not to seek abuse, but because she couldn't bear to leave her three children. Although she was very cowardly and didn't know how to resist and could only endure it, all this was because of the children.
"Oh, why are you saying that?" Xu Yingxia felt warm inside, but also particularly embarrassed. She wiped her face with her hand and quickly changed the subject. "You haven't told me which unit Xiao Cheng is in? Is it far from here?"
"..." Jiang Shuangshuang remained silent, as if she had never asked.
Xu Yingxia raised her eyebrows, "You don't know either?"
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't admit it. "You will be able to see him tomorrow. I know you have a lot of questions to ask him, so just ask them all at once."
Xu Yingxia really has a lot of problems.
I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
I didn't feel like working during the day. Fortunately, there were a lot of people slacking off today. Not only the second workshop, but the whole factory was discussing the defective cloth purchased yesterday.
Everyone was talking about what materials they had found, and many of them were asking one after another, hoping to exchange them with others.
During the day, several people actually reached deals to exchange materials.
Xu Yingxia did not participate in this topic. She asked people about the time from time to time. She just wanted to get off work as soon as possible so that she could see Comrade Xiao Cheng sitting in the house when she returned home.
It was agreed before that Comrade Xiao Cheng would come a little earlier.
Calculating the time, he should have arrived by now, right?
It's true, not a second more or less.
Cheng Jin, carrying two large bags, stepped over the threshold of the mansion on time. When he entered, Jiang Shuangshuang was squatting in a corner of the yard carving accessories with Mr. Zhou.
Yes, she is off work again.
She really couldn't sit still in the office until she finished assembling the bicycle. Instead of being distracted and daydreaming, she might as well shamelessly ask for another leave to finish the work earlier and fulfill her wish.
However, she had her back to the gate of the mansion, so she didn't notice Comrade Cheng coming in, and she didn't even hear the exclamations.
It was Mr. Zhou who pushed her shoulder and motioned her to look back.
When I turned around, I saw Jiang Xiaozhou rushing to Comrade Cheng first.
"You're here." Jiang Xiaozhou had also been waiting at the door early. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately rushed over. His eyes stayed on his future brother-in-law's face for only two seconds, and then moved down to the thing he was holding in his hand.
Two large cloth bags.
The cloth bag on the right was not tied tightly and a chicken head popped out.
He immediately nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his future brother-in-law was not too stingy and he even brought a chicken when he came!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaozhou smiled a little more, "Brother Cheng Jin, right? Come here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
However, he did not realize that when he was speaking, his future brother-in-law was not looking at him, but was looking past him and directly at his second sister across the yard.
But Cheng Jin also knows etiquette.
He couldn't embarrass his brother-in-law when he officially came to visit. He put the bag on the ground and took out a wooden box from his chest. "This is our first official meeting. I prepared a small gift for you."
Jiang Xiaozhou took it immediately.
It was just an ordinary wooden box, about the size of two palms.
It looks quite big, could it be filled with candy?
Before he asked what it was, his brother-in-law walked past him and towards his second sister with the thing in his hand.
At this time, several younger brothers ran towards him.
Fengzi looked at the things in his hand and sniffed the snot that was about to flow out. "Boss, your brother-in-law is very generous. How many candies are in here?"
"Ten?" A dwarf stared at it eagerly, licked his lips and said, "Brother Xiaozhou, is the candy sweet?"
"Boss, do you have any work to do? I can do any job!"
Jiang Xiaozhou, who was holding the wooden box, was quite generous this time. "If it's really candy, I'll give one to you to try. Just think of it as sharing my sister's good fortune."
If such a big box was really filled with candies, there would be at least a dozen or twenty candies in it. He wouldn't feel bad about giving one away.
After saying that, he opened the lock of the box.
They opened it directly upwards, but when they saw what was inside, all the children were stunned, staring at the wooden box with their eyes wide open.
“!!!! Aa ...
"Yes, it's a tank!"
"Ahhh! It's actually a tank made of bullet casings!"
"This is amazing. How many coins are needed... Ahhh, boss, don't shake your hands. Don't fall..."
Jiang Xiaozhou's hands were shaking badly.
Not only my hands were shaking, my whole body was shaking.
Daddy! A tank made of bullet shells. He has never seen such an awesome thing in his life.
He had only heard about it from his classmates in school before. It was a bullet shell given to him by his brother. Just this bullet shell made him the most envied person in the whole school.
And now, he has a tank made of thirty or forty bullet casings!
No! It's ownership!
He didn't even need to think about it. From that second on, he was definitely the brightest kid in the entire family compound. Adults and children alike would envy him to death.
The young man was so excited that he was about to cry. Tears would fall if he blinked. However... Jiang Xiaozhou was reluctant to blink at this moment, for fear that the treasure in his hands would be gone if he blinked.
He decided that from now on his brother-in-law would be his dearest brother-in-law!
