Chapter 85
Now the Jiang family moved to the textile factory staff quarters and lived on the fourth floor. When they arrived at the door of the room, Jiang Ze took out the key and opened the door. Jiang Mi walked in with Jiang Miao in his left hand and Xiao Jiangbao in his right hand.
This house is really spacious, with three bedrooms and a living room. There is a glass window on the east side, and the sunlight shines in from outside, making it very bright.
This house used to be occupied by the union chairman! It was one of the largest and best houses in the textile factory.
Before Jiang Ze could introduce them, Xiao Jiangbao had already dragged Jiang Mi into a room. She pushed the door open and said, "Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, this is your room!"
The room is on the westernmost side, with a window against the wall. The glass is wiped clean. The room is decorated very warmly, with a 1.2-meter bed covered with a bed sheet and quilt with small floral patterns, and a pair of small pillows of the same color.
There is a table next to the bed and a wardrobe on the other side of the table.
This house is decorated very nicely, it would be perfect as a wedding house!
However, the space was not large, so the house was re-arranged from three bedrooms to four bedrooms.
Xiao Jiang Bao pointed at the small floral pattern and said, "My aunt and I picked this together! Isn't it really beautiful?"
Jiang Mi smiled: "Our little Jiangbao is really good at choosing. It looks so good. I love it so much."
Jiang Ze brought in several cloth bags. As a brother, he couldn't just sit there and watch his sister pack her belongings, so he said, "Mimi, Miaomiao, I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables. You two sisters can stay at home and rest." Then he gave Jiang Mi two keys, one for the front door and one for her room.
If Jiang Mi wants to go out for a walk, she also has the key to go home.
Jiang Mi and Jiang Miao packed their clothes together. They each took two or three pieces of clothing and daily necessities. The rest were sweaters and cotton-padded jackets that were too small for Jiang Miao to wear. They were all made larger and looked a little small.
Jiang Miao grew so fast. When he went to the countryside, he was only two or three centimeters taller than Xiao Jiangbao, but now he is more than a head taller than Xiao Jiangbao.
Jiang Mi then took out the gifts for Xiao Jiangbao, a slingshot and a set of picture books.
Xiao Jiangbao loved it so much that he played with the slingshot and aimed it everywhere. Unfortunately, he was small and weak, so he couldn't pull it far. He was just playing around. Jiang Mi taught him not to aim the slingshot at people or hit furniture.
Xiao Jiangbao was curious for a while, then picked up the picture book and started flipping through it. He liked the pictures in the book.
After packing up the things, Jiang Mi used the space water to make a glass pot of orange juice. The three of them had a cup each and sat in the living room to drink it. She took out a picture book and read it to Xiao Jiangbao and Jiang Miao. She unexpectedly found that Jiang Miao could recognize most of the common characters.
Jiang Miao
I've only been in school for a short time!
Jiang Mi praised Jiang Miao repeatedly for being so good, and took Jiang Miao to recognize other words. After they finished reading a picture book, Xiao Jiangbao had finished the orange juice in the enamel jar, and asked Jiang Mi if he could drink some more.
Jiang Mi touched Xiao Jiang Bao's bulging belly and said, "No more drinking. I'll make you some tonight." She smiled and said, "Is the watermelon ripe? Can we eat watermelon?"
Xiao Jiangbao said with his little belly sticking out, "It's cooked!"
At half past three, Jiang Ze came back with the vegetables. He bought a pound of pork ribs, a duck, and some vegetables, and started cooking.
Jiang Mi looked around for a while and saw that no one needed her, so she took Jiang Miao and Xiao Jiangbao to pick up Jiang Ma.
Now I live in the staff quarters of the textile factory, which is three blocks away from the supply and marketing cooperative where Jiang Ma works, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk there.
The location is great!
Near the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Mi went to buy popsicles. She bought one for each of the three of them, and bought a dozen more. She put them in a net bag and carried it into the supply and marketing cooperative.
There weren't many people around at the moment, after all the good stuff had been sold out in the morning. Several salespeople were eating melon seeds and chatting in front of the counter, sharing gossip.
As soon as Jiang Mi came in, she attracted everyone's attention. She was so beautiful.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Mi ran to the food counter, walked around it, and hugged the stunned Su Zhenzhen, "Mom!"
Su Zhenzhen responded several times in succession, her eyes red, and she reached out to hug Jiang Mi: "Mi Mi, Mi Mi!"
Jiang Mi: "Yes, it's me. I came back to see you."
Su Zhenzhen held her daughter for a while, and after letting her go, she looked Jiang Mi up and down. The little girl had grown taller, a little fatter, and more beautiful. When she stood in the hall of the supply and marketing cooperative, she was even more beautiful than the girl in the advertisement.
Su Zhenzhen pulled Jiang Miao to look at him again. The child had grown taller, fatter, and looked more energetic.
"Just got off the train? Why don't you rest at home? You must be tired after sitting on the train for several days. Come on, sit down for a while. When we get off work, we can go home."
Jiang Mi took Su Zhenzhen's hand and acted coquettishly: "Mom, I miss you. I can't wait to come to see you directly from the train station. Seeing mom, I don't feel tired at all."
Su Zhenzhen's heart was about to melt.
Others also looked at Su Zhenzhen with envy. It wasn't obvious before, but this year the Jiang family has really turned around. Her husband got a promotion and a raise, and they moved into a big house with three bedrooms and a living room. After the eldest daughter came back, she worked as a ticket seller at the bus station. The second son also became a chef in a state-owned restaurant. The second daughter is also going to get married. The other party's family is very well-off and is from Beijing.
My little girl too
She is a very capable person. Looking at her pretty appearance now, she will definitely marry into a good family in the future.
The husband is capable, takes care of the family and loves his wife, and all the children are very filial!
This life is worth it.
Everyone followed suit and praised Jiang Mi for being filial. When they came back, they looked at their mother first and praised Jiang Mi for becoming more and more beautiful.
Su Zhenzhen smiled broadly.
After praising her, everyone asked Jiang Mi how she was doing in the countryside. While answering everyone's questions, Jiang Mi distributed popsicles to everyone. She bought a lot and there were a few left, so Jiang Mi took them to the office inside.
She was reluctant to give it up. Cream popsicles were only eight cents each! Ten or so would cost eighty cents, enough to buy a pound of pork. But she was happy. Looking at Jiang Mi, she knew she was living well in the countryside. She hadn't gotten any darker, and her complexion had become even whiter and more tender. She was completely relieved.
The leaders also ate the popsicles and asked where they came from.
Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "My Mimi and Miaomiao are back from the countryside. On the way to pick me up from get off work, they bought some popsicles. They're still cold. Director, try some too."
The director said, "You really have a good and filial daughter. She came to see you first when she got home."
Another official said, "Not only that, but Sister Su's daughters are all very filial. How is your daughter doing in Northern Province?"
Su Zhenzhen said, "My daughter is smart and will be able to live well wherever she goes."
The director smiled and said, "It's not busy right now. You can leave early and go back to spend some time with your daughter."
Su Zhenzhen: "Thank you, Director."
When Su Zhenzhen came back, Jiang Mi was talking to everyone about going to the countryside to work in the fields. Several children or relatives of the salesmen also wanted to go to the countryside to work in the fields.
Everyone wants to come to the Northern Province.
But they were also afraid, because they all knew the abuse Jiang Rong had suffered in the educated youth center.
If I ever encounter a large group like this again...
Jiang Mi briefly described the situation in Northern Province. First, most of the brigades were excellent, with simple folk customs and kind leaders who treated the educated youth as outsiders. As long as they were willing and capable, they could make ends meet. As for the situation in the brigade her elder sister encountered, because she bravely exposed the harsh leader, Quanchun City was overhauled, and now the educated youth are living a good life.
If anyone from the brigade dares to bully the educated youth, just go to the educated youth office and complain. You can't stand being wronged.
A member asked, "So your eldest sister not only saved herself, but also saved many people?"
Jiang Mi: "Of course, my elder sister is a hero who is not afraid of power or sacrifice. And it's not just my elder sister, the other members of the Xinghua Brigade are also heroes.
The educated youth were equally brave. It was their collective voices that saved themselves and the educated youth in other brigades who were being abused.
The director who came out with Su Zhenzhen happened to hear this and felt that Su Zhenzhen was not good at speaking, but she gave birth to a daughter who was eloquent.
He had already eaten the popsicles given by the children, so he had to come out and say a few words of concern to show that as a leader he cared about his subordinates. He asked about Jiang Mi and Jiang Miao's situation in the countryside, and Jiang Mi gave a few simple answers.
Seeing that Jiang Mi was pretty and smart, he also wanted to be a matchmaker. His younger brother had been on many blind dates but had no luck because he thought the girls were not good-looking.
Judging from Jiang Mi's looks, his younger brother will definitely like her.
If the two get married, their family can find a temporary job for Jiang Mi so that she doesn't have to go to the countryside anymore. The Jiang family will definitely agree.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Thinking of this, his attitude towards Jiang Mi became even more enthusiastic, and he treated Jiang Mi as his future sister-in-law.
Jiang Mi has always been likable, so Su Zhenzhen didn't think much of it.
Su Zhenzhen left work early and left with Jiang Mi. As soon as she left, she whispered, "Why are you engaged? Are you really going to marry someone from the countryside? You're so smart, how could you make such a foolish mistake? Your telegram was so unclear, I've been so worried these days. I wish I could fly to you."
Jiang Mi said: "When I sent the telegram, I also sent letters and things to my family. Haven't you received them yet? It's been quite a while."
Su Zhenzhen: "You even sent a letter? What's going on?"
Jiang Mi nodded. "The letter explains it clearly. Brother Jiahe and I are engaged. He's very handsome." Su Zhenzhen was about to speak when Jiang Mi said, "Good looks don't necessarily mean you can make a living, but Yang Jiahe is not only handsome, he's also very capable. Besides, you're not marrying off to the countryside. You're just getting engaged, aren't you?"
Su Zhenzhen: "Then why don't you bring Yang Jiahe back to Bincheng as well? Are you both looking for jobs in Bincheng?" She looked around and saw that there was no one on the street. She whispered, "Yesterday, Deputy Director Chen told your father that the textile factory is hiring, and you'll be in the Propaganda Department then. You should come back first, and when you can get your marriage certificate next year, you can bring Yang Jiahe with you. We can find a way to transfer Yang Jiahe's household registration here and find him a job."
Deputy Factory Director Chen is Chen Gaoling, the former director of the Propaganda Department, who became the deputy factory director because of Jiang Mi's operation.
Jiang Mi: "Mom, your method is also very good, but Jiahe and I have already promised others to go to the city in mid-October to take the examination for the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Su Zhenzhen: "!!!! Really?
”
She was so excited that her voice rose.
Jiang Mi: "It must be true. If you don't believe me, ask Miaomiao."
Jiang Miao: "Aunt, Sister Mimi never lies."
Su Zhenzhen: "Oh my God, if I pass this exam, I'll be able to change my family in the future. Can I pass it?"
Jiang Mi: "Is it a sure thing?"
Su Zhenzhen: !!! I still need to ask. I ran into a few old acquaintances up ahead and exchanged pleasantries. After that, Su Zhenzhen didn’t ask any more questions. She decided to wait until we got home to discuss everything.
I ran into Jiang Ze downstairs. He said, "Mom, the meal is ready. I'll mix the cold dishes when I get back. I'm going to pick up Liu Yun. Son, are you coming?"
Xiao Jiangbao said he didn't want to go and wanted to stay with Aunt Mimi.
Su Zhenzhen said, "Well, go ahead." She was not a wicked mother-in-law who couldn't stand the love between her son and daughter-in-law. Only when her son and daughter-in-law loved each other well could their lives be more prosperous.
When they got home, before they even opened the door, they could smell the aroma of food coming from the house. After opening the door, Su Zhenzhen pulled Jiang Mi to sit down and continued to ask about her work in Quanchun City.
After Jiang Mi finished speaking, Su Zhenzhen held Jiang Mi's hand excitedly: "My daughter is amazing, amazing in every way. I'm finally relieved. I was just worried that you were being fooled, and that Yang Jiahe wasn't a good person. For a woman, getting married is like a second life. If you marry the wrong person..."
Jiang Mi: "If you marry the wrong person, just divorce him. It's not that simple."
Su Zhenzhen: "...Is Yang Jiahe really that good-looking? Do you have any photos?"
Jiang Mi smiled: "Yes! I brought it with me." She ran back to the house and took out a notebook with a few photos in it, and handed it to Su Zhenzhen: "Mom, they look good, right? Actually, Jiahe and Ge are not photogenic, so we didn't even take any photos!"
The first photo was of Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe. Yang Jiahe looked at Jiang Mi with his head tilted to the side, his eyes gentle and doting. Just a side profile made Su Zhenzhen think of one word: beautiful as a crown of jade.
