"Does your husband often loosen the soil for you? Look at how moisturized your face is. You can tell you work the land diligently."
"Oh, look at you. Don't men in your family loosen the soil? That's such a sour thing to say. I think you are over 30 and as fierce as a wolf."
"Go away, you wolf-like beast! Don't you know our family? Your fart can shake the brother-in-law in the lower bunk, how can he get things done? The whole family lives in a place that's not even as spacious as a rat hole. If anyone wants to do anything, they have to go through a curtain. How can you do this?"
Jiang Cha was listening with great interest until she heard someone complaining about their home. She was so frightened that she dared not look up, lest she draw the other person's ire.
Everyone knows that she lives in a spacious house, and she is still trying to show up when others are worried about their house. She is a big fool.
Thinking about it, I tried harder to pretend to be asleep, and finally I fell asleep.
It was the section chief who woke her up and asked her with a concerned look:
"Is the young man feeling better?"
"It's fine now. I just caught a cold a few days ago, but I'm fine now. Sorry for the trouble, boss!"
When the leader asks you a question, you have to do it whether you like it or not!
"That's good! We have a lot of people to send out at the beginning of the year, so you should go to your province. There are many ethnic minorities there, so you can ask them in advance what they need to pay attention to. When we go out, we have to abide by local customs and habits."
After the section chief finished speaking, he returned to his office. The people who were chatting in the room were packing up their things, and it was obvious that they all had to go out.
"Hey everyone, I'm going to your province and I need to pay attention to what I should pay attention to. If anyone in our office knows more about this, I hope you can give me some advice. I'll bring you some hot peppers when I come back."
"Don't worry, just keep the good stuff for yourself. I really can't eat it all. When you go to your province, be careful not to kill dogs, and don't eat roasted rice cakes after dusting them off.
Don't step on the tripod of the fire pit in someone else's house; if you come across rice being grown there, don't say there are fish or mice; the remaining religious issues of various ethnic groups are difficult to define at the moment.
In short, when you are there, don't touch the big trees and rocks lightly. It's always right to follow the locals and learn from them, as they have passed down these things for so long.
By the way, if you come across a gate with straw hats or tree branches on it, don’t go in. Most people there are refusing to see visitors.
There are many ethnic minorities, and each has different taboos. In short, don't go rogue and just stay on your business trip and do your job."
The older brother who had been there several times gave very detailed instructions on ginger tea.
"Thank you. It's a good thing I had your guidance. Otherwise, I would have been completely in the dark."
The eldest brother waved his hand, took his bag, pushed the door open and went out, it seemed that he was ready to leave.
"Sister Wang, why doesn't our section chief allow me to continue going there? I've been there so many times, so I must be very familiar with it. Why would he let me, a greenhorn, go there?"
It is better to do business with people you are familiar with than to make a living with others. Unless you go to a big city like Shanghai, the rest of the places are almost the same.
"Do you know him?"
Jiang Cha was stunned by Sister Wang's question. That's right! She even knew the sisters she had met once, but she had never seen the eldest brother before.
"That's an old employee of ours. It's normal that you don't recognize him. He just came back from vacation."
Which company gives employees half a year off? She had been working here for nearly half a year and had never seen him. What kind of vacation could be so long? She wanted to try it.
Probably seeing her curiosity and envy, Sister Wang explained the reason to her. After hearing it, Jiang Cha swore that Kegel exercises are very important.
"He! He was hospitalized at Erlong Road and came back to rest at home for six months. His employer gave him special approval, and Erlong Road gave him free time. It's rare to meet someone like him. He teaches directly on-site, allowing students to see the world."
Little Juhua was trembling. No wonder he looked a little strange when I asked him to bring some chili peppers. Your province also didn't let him go. I definitely understand.
As she walked out of the door with her schoolbag, she saw the little boy turning around and leaving. It was obvious that he was waiting for her. If she came out late, he must have thought she was not there.
"Little boy, wait for me!"
He trotted over to catch up with her, put his hand on her shoulder, and acted like a good brother.
"Are you better from your cold?"
"How do you know?"
He dragged her to the former state-owned restaurant, ordered two large bowls of hot noodle soup at the counter, and then the child shouted inside at the top of his voice:
"Master Liu, I'm Xiaotong. Please add more pepper to the noodles."
The girl at the counter must be new. When she heard her shouting, she was about to speak when Master Liu came out with a big spoon.
"When did Xiao Tong come back? The little fat girl has become prettier. I'll serve you some steamed meatballs later. They were freshly fried today. Try them and see if they taste the same."
Then he went back with the curtain, quickly prepared the noodles, and served them a large bowl of steamed tofu meatballs.
The noodles are cooked in a very homely way. Stir-fry chopped green onions and cabbage in a pan, add soy sauce, and bring water to a boil. Add hand-rolled noodles and a beaten egg, and finally garnish with sesame oil and pepper.
Steamed meatballs and fried tofu meatballs are placed in a bowl and topped with the stewed meat soup. The longer they are steamed, the better they taste.
The two of them ate and chatted, and the child was concerned about whether her cold was serious.
"Didn't you catch a cold that day? I got my period from the cold back home, and then I caught a cold, so I had to rest for a week. I'm never going to the ice rink again. It's both painful and embarrassing."
After that, I quickly took a couple of bites of the noodles while they were still hot. Master Liu's hand-rolled noodles were very skillful. The most important thing about home-style cooking is the dough. The master kneaded the dough just right, making it chewy, smooth, and not too hard.
"I was expecting you to come back after waiting for several days without seeing you. No one knew where you lived. Now that I finally see you, I feel much more relieved."
"Next time you go to Wanshou Road to look for me, just look for Xiao Jiang in the alley. No one doesn't know me."
