Ding Minxiu was depressed by the news she heard. Yu Xiangan became the assistant to the deputy director?!
It doesn't matter where she goes!
From then on, the people she interacted with were all leaders and capable people. How could she be so lucky?
She was able to enter the food factory because Zhou Boyang's grandmother gave up her job. In the final analysis, her relationship with Zhou Boyang was discovered. She couldn't complain even if she wanted to, and could only keep it in her heart.
My child, you must be a son. If you are a son, you will be better off, and so will your mother. Your mother wants to try her best to provide you with a good life. Please don’t let your mother down.
Yu Xiangan's appreciation is bad news for Ding Minxiu, but it is good news for Yu Xiangan and his family.
Her current salary has also increased. It was originally more than 27 yuan, but it has become 32 yuan after the job change. The types of tickets she receives every month will also be more diverse.
The closer the new year gets, the better Yu Qingshan feels.
A lot of bad things happened this year, but a lot of good things also happened.
Now the hurdles have been overcome. This year, the second son and fourth daughter have said they want to come back for the Chinese New Year, and the family can be reunited this year.
Next year, the eldest daughter-in-law will give birth to two more children for the family, and the second daughter-in-law might also be pregnant. The fourth daughter and the youngest daughter can also start looking for some ambitious young people next year. As for the youngest son, he will be seven years old next year and it is almost time for him to go to school.
Life will get better and better. By the time his two daughters get married and his youngest son starts a family, his tasks will be mostly completed.
Yu Qingshan's good mood also affected Yu Xiangan, and he felt even better after receiving the package sent by Qin Shenghua.
Most of the items in this package are seafood, including sea cucumbers, kelp, dried shrimps, hairtail, etc.
Yu Xiangan opened the package and was extremely satisfied. This was a belated housewarming gift from Qin Shenghua.
Yu Xiangan was knowledgeable and sent him a large package in return.
In the letter, he praised the delicious food, and doubled it, saying that it was winter now and the food could be kept longer.
Everything else is fine, but seafood is very rare here.
This is not the seaside, and the most common seafood they eat is kelp and salted fish. These various varieties of seafood can easily capture people's taste buds.
Even Yu Qingshan, who knew that the postage for sending the letter from thousands of miles away was not cheap, couldn't say a few words about his wastefulness.
These are really delicious. Adding a little bit of them will enhance the flavor of the soup by several levels.
However, if the package sent by Yu Xiangan was delayed on the way, Qin Shenghua would not receive it until after the New Year.
The journey is too long.
The best scenario would be to finish it before the New Year.
Also before the New Year, many people moved into their new homes one after another.
Everyone planned to spend the New Year in the new house. The leader named Chen next door gave a dish to each of his two neighbors when he moved in.
The dish is minced meat and tofu, which is quite impressive.
With meat.
The other party does not look like a clean person.
It shouldn't be difficult to get along with each other in the future.
Master Bao on one side has a family of 4. Master Bao doesn't drink and doesn't get angry and swear at people. His wife is in poor health, but she has a gentle personality. Although his two children are at the age of being naughty, you can hardly hear any noise from them. They play quietly by themselves most of the time. He is a very worry-free neighbor.
On the other side, although Mr. Chen’s family ordered a three-bedroom apartment, there were not many people in his family.
In addition to the couple, there are his eldest son and daughter-in-law, as well as his eldest son in his twilight years, a total of five people. They usually don't like to go out and stay at home, so there is not much noise.
Their family did not convert the back balcony into a room, but turned it into a kitchen like Yu Xiangan did.
As for why his family moved in later than Yu Xiangan, it was because they kept the house cleaner and more meticulous.
At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but if you look more closely, you can see the hostess's thoughtfulness everywhere.
The decorated home is very attractive and warm.
So even though the hostess of this house might be a little picky about the workers, Yu Xiangan didn't have any bad feelings towards her.
From the small details, I can tell that she is a gentle person at heart.
As for whether she is or not, we will have to wait and see in the future to find out.
After observing for a while, Yu Qingshan felt relieved and talked to Yu Xiangan, "If you have nothing to do and need someone to keep you company, go find your sister-in-law from the Song family. She is kind and easy to talk to, and she is also multi-talented. You are very bad at making clothes, but she is famous for her clothes making skills. It is said that she learned from an embroiderer before. Their family is all generous people. The two children are a little afraid of giving birth, but they will slowly correct this problem as they meet more people in the future. You can see that they can play with Xiaoju now."
"Although the person on the other side is not your direct supervisor, he is also a leader and you should respect him. However, you don't need to be too proactive, otherwise others will think you are fawning. The person in his family also has a job and goes out early and comes back late. It seems that he has no intention of actively making friends with him, so you can just get along with him casually."
"Generally speaking, your two neighbors are not the kind of people who are eager to pick on others or make trouble."
If there is a neighbor like Aunt Chen who lives next to them and likes to watch the fun and stir up trouble, I'm afraid that the situation will not be big enough. It's very annoying to live so close. There are also those who like to take advantage of small things, come to borrow things every day and never return them, which is also disgusting.
So far, no one with this character has been found.
Yu Xiangan was also very happy when talking about this. It was just a matter of luck. It seemed that she was lucky enough to have drawn a good location and had good neighbors.
Yu Xiangan and the others were talking about their neighbors, and they were also talking about him.
Everyone cares about what kind of person their neighbor is.
Yu Xiangan is a good person, and so is Yu Qingshan. There is no one in his family who likes to cause trouble. They have a good impression of Yu Xiangan's family. As for their children's impression of Yu Xiangan, it is very good.
Their deepest impression of Yu Xiangan is that she is a beautiful sister who can cook many, many delicious foods!
Everyone decided to get along well.
It just so happened that the things Qin Shenghua sent were relatively rare among them, so Yu Xiangan packed some of them up to establish connections.
She sent 4 people in total.
One is Deputy Factory Director Wang, who is her direct supervisor. The other is Yan Yuzhen, her former supervisor, with whom she has a good relationship. The other two are her neighbors on both sides.
These things are hard to come by, but they are not very precious in the local area. If others know about them, they cannot make irresponsible remarks.
The gift is suitable and the recipient is assured.
None of them let Yu Xiangan return empty-handed.
Seeing this, Yu Qingshan put his mind at ease and planned to move back.
This place looks stable, it's time to move back.
Manchang is the only one at home now. Although he goes back to visit from time to time, Yu Xianghai also goes back occasionally, but they don't live there. Yu Manchang also has to work during the day, so he is still a little worried.
They also have to prepare to clean the house when they go back. The New Year is coming soon, and they have to clean the house thoroughly to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Yu Xiangyan and Yu Xiangqing are coming back this year, so their rooms need to be cleaned up specially.
Hearing Yu Qingshan say that he wanted to go back, Yu Xiangju didn't feel reluctant. His father had said before that he was prepared.
Although he lives comfortably here and has made new friends here, and often goes to the grass behind with his friends to catch mantises, caterpillars, and dig ant nests, most of his friends are still in his original home.
He wants to go back.
If he misses his fifth sister, can't he just come here and stay for a while?
There is a bed here for your convenience.
Yu Xiangju was willing to leave, but Zhao Qiaoniang was reluctant and really wanted to move away.
She had to move back to the old house if she didn't want to live in this spacious and bright new house. But she had no right to say no, so she didn't say a word of objection. When Yu Qingshan said to move back, she quietly packed up her things.
I told myself in my heart that I should move back.
Her situation is pretty good this year. After working as a temporary worker for half a year, she has saved some money. Now the Chinese New Year is approaching, and after working for this month, the factory will ask them not to go there anymore, so they can concentrate on preparing for the Chinese New Year.
There are a lot of preparations to make for the New Year, and she actually doesn't have much free time.
It’s better to go back.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, many educated youth are thinking about going home to visit their families.
For those who live far away, the home visit leave can be calculated in months, because they may spend half a month on the road.
Although the place where Yu Xiangyan and his friends went to work in the countryside was in the neighboring province, it was actually not far away. It was right at the border, and one day was enough for them to come back, so the number of home visit leave approved for them was not as many as those whose parents lived far away.
It’s okay to take a longer vacation, but you have to come up with a suitable reason.
The leave they approved was 10 days, and minus two days for travel, there were still 8 days left, which was enough for the New Year.
Not all educated youth could go back to visit their families. It depended on their performance in the past year, and one or two people had to stay behind. Generally speaking, new educated youth were not allowed to go back.
Wen Ruzhen was a little nervous about going back this time.
Also in the county town, the Yu family knew her origins very well. It was okay because she was far away before, but if she went back, would they have any opinions about them?
Afraid of implicating them?
Although they have now followed their mother to remarry and transferred their household registration together, they generally will not implicate others because of their background. This was their father's request, so that they can live an easier life. However, outsiders may not be aware of this.
Moreover, they did not publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties, so it is only natural that some people would feel that they would be implicated.
So she was hesitating, "Why don't I not go back, and you go back. It won't be good if things turn out unpleasantly."
It’s the New Year’s Day.
Yu Xiangyan knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "My dad told us to go back because he wants to drink his wife's tea. If he minded, he wouldn't say that. You don't have to worry too much. On the surface, you have nothing to do with your father. If you are worried, except for this year, we will try to go back less often in the future."
"This is not good." Wen Ruzhen's expression was complicated, "I have no choice." Someone was staring at her father, and if she went to see him, it might make the situation worse, but he was different.
His composition is innocent.
If he doesn't go back for a long time, will his family have any complaints? Will he not miss his family? This can't be done.
"Don't worry about me. There's nothing you can be afraid of between me and my brother. Besides, this is a matter for the future. Now we have to go back together."
If they want to go back, the three of them have to go back together.
There was no way she would leave her brother here alone.
His health is not good. If something happens to him here alone and no one is by his side, how can he cope with it?
Yu Xiangyan shook his head and laughed, "Yes, we'll talk about the future later."
Wen Ruzhen nodded, "This is the clothes I made for Dad. It's already done. Take a look. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll modify it."
She spent a long time making this dress, and her slow work produced fine results.
Yu Xiangyan took a look, and even though he didn't understand, he felt that this dress was a little special compared to the others.
"It looks like the right size. My dad's weight shouldn't have changed much."
Wen Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
She is an average cook, but making clothes is not a problem for her, as it is what she is good at.
This is a gift for her father-in-law, and she made it with great care.
Yu Xiangyan looked at him and smiled foolishly.
The clothes he is wearing now were also made by her, and they are more comfortable to wear than his other clothes.
Every time he wears this clothes, he becomes more careful, fearing that he might accidentally damage it.
"My sister likes to cook now, so I prepared some specialties. My brother is still young, so he will be satisfied with just meat."
…
Yu Xiangan started hanging around in the black market. Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year. Even if one is frugal at other times, he will buy half a pound of meat during Chinese New Year.
No matter how poor a family is, they will try their best to have fish and meat on their table during the Chinese New Year, to express their best wishes for the coming year.
The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the more expensive things become on the black market, with rare items even doubling in price.
For example, meat, for example, fruit.
Correspondingly, those who want to make money will not miss this period.
Yu Xiangan has already thought about what she wants to buy for her family during the Chinese New Year.
She wanted to buy some cloth to make a set of clothes for herself and for Yu Qingshan.
Of course, making clothes for herself is questionable. With her skills in making clothes, she can only ask others for help.
If she were to come, she probably wouldn't be able to wear the clothes made even if she dared.
She planned to make clothes for only two of them, and not for anyone else, as they were not that short of clothes. Zhao Qiaoniang was short of clothes, but Yu Xiangan had a barrier with her, so she would not take the initiative to make clothes for her. As for Yu Xiangju, he could pick up clothes from his brothers to wear, as the good old clothes that they had outgrown and could not wear were kept for him, so he was the one who was least short of clothes.
Yu Qingshan was too frugal. He spent all his money on his children. He just made do with whatever clothes he could find and wore his patched factory uniform all year round.
Besides clothes, I also buy food.
Yu Xiangan wanted to sell the inventory in her space in exchange for various things she wanted.
She has ducks, big fat fish, tofu, dried tofu, bean sprouts, tofu, and fruits that can be exchanged. She now has all four kinds of fruits in her warehouse, and she had stockpiled them before, intending to sell them at a good price during the Chinese New Year.
After coming up with the idea, Yu Xiangan would often disguise herself when she had free time, selling what she had little by little, while also exchanging with others for what she wanted.
She went there more often, and someone who was well-informed knew that someone had rare fruits in this season. She also had a source of ducks, which were particularly fat, tender and delicious.
Lin Chuanbai, who was well-informed, learned the news and quickly took action.
The fruits at this time are too limited. It is difficult for people in the south to eat fruits from the north.
When he heard about apples and pears, he decided to buy some no matter how expensive it was.
Having said that, he is now drawing, and if the other party has fat ducks, fish or something like that, the more the better.
He used to be over 1.8 meters tall, but now he is not very satisfied with his height. This is a common situation in this era. Except for a few who have really good development, most people grow thin and small due to malnutrition. However, he is 18 years old now, so there is still time.
Boys will stop growing when they are over 20 years old. He doesn't need to be 186cm tall anymore, 180cm is enough.
He was a frequent visitor to the black market, often wearing a hat and old clothes to go shopping. After the transaction, no one recognized each other.
Occasionally he would stumble upon something good.
He was able to put the things he bought into the medicine garden in time, and he was also able to keep his ears and eyes open, so he had never made a mistake so far.
When he heard an acquaintance say that someone was selling apples, he thought that there were more than just apples and pears. These two are both northern fruits, so a person with such great powers would definitely have other things besides these two.
He guessed that the other party was either from the railway system or a driver who traveled all over the country.
The other party is also very cautious, appearing very irregularly and producing small amounts.
If he wants to meet her, it requires a bit of fate.
He was unlucky in this respect, but very lucky in another.
I met a man selling northern rice and dried fruits, and bought hundreds of kilograms at one time.
With so much high-quality rice, I can enjoy it for a while.
After he came, he ate good food and drank well to nourish his body, and his originally thin face gradually regained its normal complexion. He didn't know if it was fate, but after he gained weight, he occasionally looked in the mirror and found that he looked about 60% similar to himself in the later life.
Perhaps this is the fate that allows him to wake up in this body?
He didn't know that the person who suffered the same disaster under the billboard was in the same situation. His face became more and more like his original face.
Lin Chuanbai is also preparing for the Chinese New Year. This year, his father and mother - both his biological mother and stepmother - will not be back. His eldest brother is far away in Shanghai. This year, it will be just him, his grandfather and his second uncle's family who will celebrate the Chinese New Year. In addition, his eldest sister will go back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year.
His older brothers and sisters all cared about him very much. They knew that he had suffered a lot from his parents' failed marriage. He was the youngest and had been affected the most, so they treated him with even more pity.
Among many poultry, my eldest sister’s favorite is duck.
If you meet that person, buy two more ducks.
On this day, both of them were going to the black market after get off work, and they deliberately wore old clothes that were not very recognizable to work. After work, they took off their factory uniforms, and before they had time to do anything to their faces, they met on the way to the black market and exchanged glances.
They looked at each other normally and didn't think anything was wrong at first, but after passing each other for two or three seconds, these two people who were more sensitive and attentive to other people's movements because they were doing "business" noticed something was wrong.
That face just now looked so familiar, where have they seen them before?
Thinking about this brings back memories.
After all, they bumped into each other under the billboard by damn coincidence, and both of them had a deep impression of that face.
After all, they were not born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but they died on the same day of the same month of the same year, so it is impossible not to have a deep impression.
Now they look somewhat similar to before, and that reminds me of it.
The two of them turned around at the same time in tacit understanding, with astonishment on their faces that they could not hide in time.
It was this look that made both of them feel uneasy. Could it really be him/her? !
To outsiders, it seemed very strange that the two people stopped moving in the middle of the road and stared at each other, as if they were angry, but not really, which attracted a lot of stares.
Yu Xiangan came back to his senses first, "It's you."
Lin Chuanbai, "Yes."
Yu Xiangan's tone was somewhat dry, "Could it be that you were also at that time..."
Lin Chuanbai nodded.
Yu Xiangan sighed with deep emotion, "What a coincidence."
Lin Chuanbai agreed very much, "What a coincidence."
Not only did they die on the same day of the same month of the same year, they also came here together and met in the same county. What an amazing fate.
The two people's hearts were strangely balanced at this time. There were not just one unlucky guy, but two. They actually felt a little relieved, but then it became complicated.
They were strangers originally, but now they have become fellow villagers here.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears?
No, they don't know each other's background. If the other party has a black heart, let alone tears in their eyes, it would be good if the other party doesn't stab them in the back.
They all thought of this, so they quickly looked at each other.
Both of them had tried to cover up, so Yu Xiangan saw the tattered cloth shoes with one toe exposed on the other's feet, and Lin Chuanbai saw the wild vegetable dumplings in Yu Xiangan's basket.
Both of them: It seems that the other party is not in good condition.
Yu Xiangan smiled, "Life is not easy these days."
Lin Chuanbai agreed, "Yes, life is not easy."
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, then went their separate ways tacitly.
Make up your mind to keep your distance from each other.
They each took a detour and then disguised themselves. Either familiar people couldn't recognize them, or even if familiar people saw them, they couldn't be sure.
Yu Xiangan came to keep an appointment today. A customer who bought something said that someone else also wanted to buy and he had something to exchange.
If it was an ordinary thing, Yu Xiangan would not be tempted, but what the other party had in his hand was ginseng.
Yu Xiangan was moved.
She had never heard of anyone picking ginseng here.
Even if it is not very old, it is still a good thing. Apart from anything else, this kind of ginseng is good for making wine.
Lin Chuanbai said that the other party agreed. He disguised himself, put on an old hat on his head, and came to the agreed place.
I saw a figure there holding a bamboo basket. This must be the person holding the apples.
Yu Xiangan saw a man coming over with an old hat with a piece of hay on the edge of it, and his heart moved.
This must be the one holding ginseng.
Walking in, two people said in unison, "Hello, comrade, it's..."
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other and were both stuck.
It's him/her?!
