With parents like that, who could stand it?
Then Du Xiuyun said, "Jingchen, go and help Jiaojiao to sit under the tree in the yard to cool off. You add some firewood for me. I'll try to scrape together some money these next few days and ask someone to help us buy a fan."
Thanks to Su Jiaojiao's donation, the power grid coverage project proceeded smoothly.
The military compound has been connected to electricity.
"Mom, do you have any tickets?" Su Jiaojiao felt she could handle the fan issue.
"We haven't gotten it yet." Du Xiuyun hesitated for a moment. "I talked to the dean, and he'll try to figure it out."
"No need, I have a way." Su Jiaojiao has some in her spatial storage; there was one in the villa where she and Liang Dongmei used to live.
As for going to the black market, they didn't dare mention it to Du Xiuyun.
In Du Xiuyun's mind, the black market was not something people like them should be involved with.
Du Xiuyun wiped the sweat from her face: "Actually, you could also take a look around the black market here."
"Mom...are you going to the black market?" Su Jiaojiao was very surprised.
“Well, I was originally very reluctant to go to places like the black market, after all, your dad and Jingchen are in charge of this work.” Du Xiuyun sighed, “But here, it’s so hard to get a ticket for an electric fan, and the weather is so hot.”
She can endure it.
She couldn't let her daughter-in-law put up with it.
Therefore, they crossed the line and were willing to go to the black market.
“Mom, no matter what, you’re Section Chief Du, it’s really not suitable for you to go to a place like the black market. I’ll go instead,” Su Jiaojiao said hurriedly. “I don’t start work until tomorrow, I’ll go to the provincial capital this afternoon.”
"It's not safe for you to go alone." Du Xiuyun hurriedly waved her hand, subconsciously glancing at Su Jiaojiao's lower abdomen.
Unfortunately, it looks flat no matter how you look at it.
She didn't gain weight.
I felt uneasy for a moment.
She felt that the conditions here were too harsh, which was why Su Jiaojiao was so thin.
Fu Jingchen nodded: "Yes, it's not safe."
"Okay, let me ask if there are any buses going to the provincial capital this afternoon," Du Xiuyun said hastily, trying to reassure her. She hoped to buy the electric fan as soon as possible.
Fu Jingchen glanced at Su Jiaojiao, then at his mother. It wasn't his business; he just needed to follow instructions.
He knew that even going to the provincial capital would just be a formality.
You can't just conjure a fan out of thin air.
I have to make a trip to the provincial capital.
Su Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."
She really didn't want to squeeze into a car.
The main problem is that it was too abrupt for her to take the car out of the storage space.
We can only remain poor for now.
After the family finished their meal, Fu Jingchen gave Su Jiaojiao a few instructions and then left in a hurry.
The survey work has made considerable progress in the past few days.
They wanted to complete the survey in one go.
Du Xiuyun quickly tidied up the kitchen and left.
She went to find a car for Su Jiaojiao to go to the provincial capital.
These things need to be arranged as soon as possible.
We need to buy the electric fan quickly; every day we delay, my daughter-in-law will suffer an extra day.
Not long after she left, Du Xiuyun returned: "Jiaojiao, there's a car going to the provincial capital, but it's only for the outbound trip. You'll have to squeeze onto a bus on the way back. But that person can come back with you and take care of you. Why don't you go tomorrow?"
"It's alright, let's do it today. The military has been very busy lately, and I'm afraid there won't be any vehicles available tomorrow." Su Jiaojiao wasn't picky; she just wanted to get the electric fan arranged as soon as possible.
It's not only hot here, but also filled with yellow sand.
When you sweat, yellow sand will stick to your body.
I was so sad.
"Okay, it's settled then. Just wait for me at the gate of the family compound this afternoon." Du Xiuyun gave her a few more instructions and handed her three hundred yuan. "Jiaojiao, if you can buy two, then buy two. If you don't have that much, just buy one for now. You two can use it."
They slipped the money in and left.
She was afraid her daughter-in-law would be too polite and refuse the money.
She knew the Su family was wealthy; Su Jiaojiao had donated over a million yuan, so they must still have money on hand.
But she couldn't let her daughter-in-law spend money.
Looking at the three hundred yuan in her hand, Su Jiaojiao blinked. Okay, she'll keep it for now.
She wouldn't mistreat her parents-in-law either.
Then I quickly tidied myself up, changed into a tracksuit, put on a sun hat, and wrapped a scarf around my neck.
However, when she reached the gate of the residential compound and saw that familiar car, she hesitated.
