Cheng Xiao Kui quickly looked around, and thankfully there was no one around her.
She lowered her voice and said to Cheng Qiu Kui, "Keep your voice down. A grown woman saying she wants to get married, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if people hear you?"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Let it be a joke! Anyway, I don't want to stay in this house anymore."
Sister, you're so amazing! You're so independent! You earn your own money, support yourself, and don't have to worry about anyone else!
You are my role model! I want to be as strong as you!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Your idea is good... Look at all these green military uniforms here, which one do you like? I'll have Si Muyang and Song Jingchuan introduce them to you!"
Cheng Qiu Kui blinked her big eyes, looking at the tables full of green military uniforms.
In this era, military green is the most popular color!
Moreover, no matter the era, military officers always give people a great sense of security!
Cheng Qiuqiu stood behind her sister and whispered, "There's a guy who's really handsome. Although he's not quite as good-looking as my brother-in-law, and his skin is much fairer, I just like this kind of refined, scholarly type!"
Following Cheng Qiu Kui's description, Cheng Xiao Kui looked over and a smile curved her lips. "You like Du Ziqiang?"
Cheng Qiuqiu asked in surprise, "Sister, do you know him?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I know him. He's Du Ziqiang. He works at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. He's the deputy director of the Bureau now."
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "He works at the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so why is he wearing a military uniform?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "His military uniform didn't have shoulder insignia, so it must be the uniform he wore when he was in the army. He transferred to work at the Industry and Commerce Bureau after joining the army."
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "So that's how it is... The Industry and Commerce Bureau doesn't earn much..."
If we really get together, I'll make him quit his job and set up a stall at home with me!
Countless black lines appeared on Cheng Xiaokui's forehead as she exclaimed, "Sis! You want the deputy director to resign? Have you lost your mind?!"
He's a deputy director! To become a deputy director at such a young age is truly a model of youthful talent!
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "So what if he's a deputy director? He doesn't earn much. The Industry and Commerce Bureau is a low-paying department, just like the tax bureau or a teacher in a school."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I bet you! In another ten years or so, you won't say that anymore!"
If you two get together, you absolutely mustn't let Du Ziqiang resign! Otherwise, I guarantee you'll be ruined beyond repair!
Your business is so small, you can easily manage it yourself by hiring a few people. Even if he earns little, that's just his starting point; you have no idea how high he can reach!
Only she knew that these seemingly insignificant government offices would become the enviable civil service positions after a decade or so.
Every year, college students who take the civil service exam are like carp leaping over the dragon gate, using both their real skills and their mystical knowledge, all in order to pass the exam and land a job!
A position like Du Ziqiang's is merely the starting point for him, but it is the ultimate goal that many people can never reach in their entire lives!
Cheng Qiuqiu scratched the back of her head and said, "Will things change in a dozen years? No way! He couldn't earn as much in a lifetime as I do in a year!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "That's because you don't know how the country will develop in the future! Anyway, if you two really get together, you absolutely can't let him resign!"
Although Cheng Qiuqiu didn't understand, she still nodded and said, "Okay! Sister, I'll listen to you. I know you see further than I do and know more than I do."
Cheng Xiao Kui likes Cheng Qiu Kui for this, because Cheng Qiu Kui is very obedient!
No matter what she said, Cheng Qiuqiu obeyed without question!
Song Wenhui pushed her son in, and he sat in a wheelchair.
Cheng Dongkui turned the wheelchair wheels with her hands and eagerly walked to her sister's side, saying, "Sister, you sing so well! The little light bulbs here are so pretty, they're all different colors."
Perhaps because he had been blind for so long, he was exceptionally sensitive to all light and color.
Only those who have lost something truly understand the value of what they have.
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I'll sing again in a bit. If you like, just sit and listen. Want some soda? There's soda over there! Qiu Kui, you get some soda and share it with your little brother!"
Cheng Qiu Kui ran to the place Cheng Xiao Kui pointed out. The room contained large barrels of beer, as well as boxes and boxes of bottled beer and soda.
She took three bottles of soda and gave them to her mother and younger brother.
Seeing her son's smiling face as he drank his soda, Song Wenhui finally smiled too.
It's the kind of heartwarming smile that comes from the heart.
Cheng Xiaokui thought that Song Wenhui probably really didn't like her.
Song Wenhui had never seen such a relaxed smile before when she saw her.
Cheng Xiaokui checked the remaining skewers and braised dishes. She had asked the aunties and grandmas to make a lot today, and now almost all of them were sold out, with very little left.
It was almost 7:30.
She sat back on the high stool and sang the two songs she had sung that day several more times.
There's no need to give out so many new songs all at once. You can sing two a day and take it slow.
A completely new song that you've never even heard of before can keep you feeling fresh for at least a few days.
Moreover, when people come across a song they like, they want to learn how to sing it and hope to listen to it several times.
Sure enough, Cheng Xiao Kui's strategy worked. When she sang the two songs again, many people hummed along with her, hoping to memorize the lyrics.
Some people even took out their notebooks and pens to write down every word.
Around 8 p.m., the streetlights gradually went out.
The beautiful colored light bulbs here, Cheng Xiao Kui, have all gone out.
The aunties and grandmas took out the kerosene lamps they had prepared beforehand and placed them on the tables of each guest.
Several kerosene lamps were also placed next to Cheng Xiaokui.
Even with the kerosene lamp turned up to its brightest setting, the light was still insufficient.
At this time, people who had finished eating gradually left.
Song Wenhui was worried that her son had been out for too long and that the evening wind was a bit chilly, so she was afraid he would catch a cold.
She asked Cheng Qiuqiu to push her younger brother back, and before leaving, she looked at Song Yalan with reluctance.
To her dismay, Song Yalan was originally sitting at the same table as Si Muyang.
But not long after Song Yalan sat down, Si Muyang and Song Jingchuan went to sit at other tables in turn.
Song Yalan barely spoke a few words to Si Muyang all night.
The guests left one after another, leaving only Si Muyang, Song Jingchuan, and a few good buddies.
The aunties and grandmas were clearing away the tableware and putting it into a large basin in the kitchen.
There's no need to wash these things at night. The aunties and grandmas who work the day shift tomorrow will wash them. They just need to sweep the floor, put the tables and chairs in the yard, and close the gate.
After watching the aunties and grandmas finish their work and leave, Cheng Xiaokui said to Song Jingchuan and Si Muyang, "Aren't you leaving yet? How are you going to work tomorrow if you don't go back to sleep?"
Si Muyang said, "Xiao Kui, I have something to tell you. In the next couple of days, I don't know which day it will be, the special investigation team will probably come to arrest you..."
