Chapter 91
Su Zhenzhen came over with a plate of shredded roast pigeon and a plate of salad spinach. Several people from Jiang Yan also came over to serve the food.
Xiao Jiangbao also came over to have a meal. Jiang Mi rubbed his chubby little face and handed him a pair of chopsticks. Xiao Jiangbao sat happily at the table with the chopsticks in his hand, waiting to be served.
Each person had a bowl, with shredded meat on top and noodles at the bottom, and less sauce, half a bowl.
Jiang Mi picked up a piece of roasted pigeon and gave it to Jiang Yan: "Brother, you are so thin, eat more meat!"
Then he picked up a piece of food for each of Su Zhenzhen, Jiang Ning, Jiang Miao, and Xiao Jiangbao. Xu Lening looked at Jiang Mi eagerly. Jiang Mi picked up another pigeon leg, waved it in front of her own bowl, and placed it in Xu Lening's bowl. "Try it."
Xu Lening's face lit up with smiles as he took a bite of the pigeon leg and said, "It smells so good."
Jiang Mi didn't give the pigeon leg to anyone else, but left it for her on purpose!
Jiang Mi also looked at her and smiled, and picked up a piece of pigeon meat to eat.
At the dinner table, the topic was basically all about Jiang Yan, and most people asked about his situation in Henan Province. His letters were not as detailed as Jiang Mi's, and now that he met her, he must have asked too many questions.
Jiang Yan knew a lot about the family situation. His father and mother would write letters, and his brothers and sisters also wrote letters. When all was said and done, he knew everything about the family, big and small, in great detail.
He also knew that all these changes were because of Jiang Mi.
After dinner, Xu Lening lay down in the house to take a nap. Su Zhenzhen and Jiang Yan and his siblings were talking outside and couldn't sleep at this moment.
Su Zhenzhen brought up the director's troublemaking this morning after he rejected her introduction to Jiang Mi. She felt a pang of satisfaction when she recalled it. "I remembered what Mimi had said before: if you have any grievances, just cry to her face. You should put yourself above all else and put yourself on the moral high ground. That's how I refuted the director today, and with a few words from the boss, I was able to completely embarrass him."
Jiang Mi praised Su Zhenzhen for her good cooking, "We eat everything in our family, but we never suffer any loss."
Su Zhenzhen smiled pursedly: "But it might be troublesome to get a raise in the future."
Jiang Mi asked, "Mom, isn't there a Manager Liu in your company? What's his character like?"
Su Zhenzhen: "Manager Liu doesn't really manage things, but he's quite easy to talk to."
Director He thinks he is superior to others. As a cadre, he always asks people to call him Director He.
Jiang Mi said, "Mom, when my second sister gets married, invite Manager Liu to our house for a banquet. Hint to him that Director Peng Yue and the deputy director of the textile factory are also coming."
Su Zhenzhen: "!!! Director of the Public Security Bureau?"
Jiang Mi nodded: "Yeah."
Su Zhenzhen: "Then I'll go talk to Manager Liu. What if he doesn't come? I don't think Manager Liu dares to conflict with Director He now. However, he did have a conflict with Director He a few years ago, and he was scolded by the street office at that time."
Jiang Mi: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
Jiang Ning: "Is Director Peng really coming?"
Jiang Mi nodded: "Second sister, wait until tomorrow, let's go to Director Peng's house and formally invite him."
Jiang Ning nodded, still a little dazed. She was actually able to invite the director and the deputy director of the textile factory to her wedding as her in-laws.
Su Zhenzhen was also happy and complained a few more words about Director He.
Xu Lening just woke up from her nap. Upon hearing this, she ran out and said, "We met his nephew this morning. He blocked us at the entrance of the cultural center and said he'd find Mimi a job as long as she was willing to get married. Bah! He didn't even take a piss and look at himself. You wouldn't find him on the street with his looks. And he said he didn't care if Mimi had a dowry or not, and he'd give her a bigger gift. Do we need money? I scolded him and kicked him out of the cultural center."
Su Zhenzhen was furious: "I clearly rejected you, and you still dare to look for Mimi?"
Jiang Ning: "What unit does he work for? If he dares to look for you again, go find the director of women's affairs."
Jiang Mi thought of Pu Xinnan this morning and couldn't help but laugh: "He probably didn't dare to come. He was scolded by Le Ning and lost all his dignity."
But he must have hated me, and I guess he'd have to take revenge.
Xu Lening: "Yes, I didn't give him face and kicked him out of the cultural center."
The cultural center is where Xu Lening works. There is an event today, so he invited Jiang Mi to bring the two children there to play.
Su Zhenzhen: "I have to talk to Director He this afternoon and ask him to keep a good eye on his nephew."
It was almost time to go to work, and everyone went to work. Jiang Yan and Jiang Mi chatted for a while. Jiang Mi yawned and said, "Brother, you should take a rest too. The train ride is very tiring."
Jiang Yan smiled: "Yeah."
Is this not resting, doing math problems?
Jiang Mi:!!!
She picked it up and took a look at it. She didn't understand the solution, so she put it down after a few glances and went to the kitchen to make a pot of orange juice.
Nowadays, the water in the thermos at home is all space water.
Jiang Yan talked with Jiang Miao and Xiao Jiangbao for a while, and Jiang Mi poured orange juice for the three of them.
Jiang Yan also drank the orange juice and took a set of exercises from under the math book and handed them to Jiang Mi: "These are high school exercises. You can look through them. If you don't understand something, I'll teach you."
Jiang Mi: "My gift?"
Jiang Yan went back to the house again, took out all the bags, took out a small bamboo pen holder and gave it to Xiao Jiangbao, and asked Jiang Mi and Jiang Miao to choose the other six pen holders.
The pen holders are all the same, made of bamboo, which is polished very smoothly, but the little animals nestled on the bamboo tubes are different, such as kittens, puppies, rabbits, bears, cows and lambs, which are very cute.
Jiang Mi chose Xiaoyang's pen holder: "So beautiful! Thank you, big brother!"
Jiang Miao chose the puppy and thanked his elder brother.
Xiao Jiangbao loves guns so much that he keeps shooting them with his gun.
Jiang Yan said: "This is a gift, and the book comes with it. Your high school knowledge is not solid enough. I heard from my mother that you will have an exam in the middle of the month. If you do more exercises, you will be more confident in the exam."
Jiang Mi flipped through the exercises, which were all high school knowledge points. "Brother, do you know them all?"
Jiang Yan: "After I graduated from high school, I stopped looking at high school exercises. They were too easy and boring."
Jiang Mi: So ordinary...
She picked a more difficult question for Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan didn't even bother to calculate it with a pen, but gave the answer directly. She asked a few more questions. Jiang Yan was weak in Chinese, but only slightly. Math, physics, and chemistry were his strengths, and he got full marks, even giving many calculation steps.
This is a real academic master.
This person really has the air of books, full of knowledge and fragrance of books, and he is naturally elegant because of his knowledge of poetry and books.
She was worried about her elder brother before, but now she really doesn't need to worry. Her elder brother doesn't have to do anything and just wait for the college entrance examination. With his ability, it is not difficult for him to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University, and he will be a highly educated talent after graduation.
Jiang Mi praised: "Brother, your brain is amazing."
Jiang Yan: "Mimi is also good, her knowledge is very solid, so she may not need it."
Jiang Mi laughed and took out a set of questions. She said to her eldest brother, "This is the wedding gift I prepared for my second sister! Big brother, take a look at these knowledge points. What do you think? Big brother and big sister are not getting married, so I also prepared a single gift question bank~
Big brother might not need it, so I'll give it to second brother. I'll find something more profound for big brother later."
Jiang Yan flipped through it and thought it was pretty good. He praised Jiang Mi for her love of learning and being a good child.
Jiang Mi: "Then I have to follow my elder brother's example."
Jiang Yan then took her to look at some more profound mathematics. Jiang Mi said coquettishly, "Brother, I'm dizzy from reading all this. Let's go pick up Dad from get off work. Last time, Dad said that all of us brothers and sisters should go to Mom and not Dad."
The three siblings took Xiao Jiangbao to the textile factory. They lived in the factory's staff quarters, and it only took them more than ten minutes to get to the factory. However, Jiang Aiguo had to rush to finish his work at the factory, so he didn't go home and had lunch at the factory.
After arriving at the textile factory, they waited in front of the factory building. Xiao Jiangbao took the □□ and shot everywhere. Jiang Mi didn't let him shoot at others, so he shot at flowers, plants and trees. He got even more excited when he encountered insects and the like. He thought they were criminals and should be shot.
I had a lot of fun playing alone.
For a little kid, this toy is so cool.
After the factory closed, the workers left one after another. Jiang Aiguo came out in his work clothes. His face was not very good. After seeing Jiang Mi and Jiang Yan, he was briefly surprised and walked over quickly. His eyes reddened when he saw Jiang Yan, "I'm glad you're back!"
This son who has been away from home for five years.
He was only 18 years old when he left home. Now he is 23 years old. He is taller and stronger than then, but his temperament has not changed. Going to the countryside did not dim the light in his eyes.
She is much better than Jiang Rong when she just came back.
Jiang Yan's eyes also turned red, "Dad."
A number of people gathered around. One of them, a woman with drooping eyes, tutted her tongue and said, "Looks like they're not only looking for a job for their daughter, but also for their son. It's different when they're hooking up with a big boss."
Jiang Aiguo's face was stern. "Cao Yumei, what are you talking about? I'll say it again. My daughter Jiang Mi is not returning to the city. She is in Luochengling."
This morning someone wrote an anonymous letter saying that his daughter, who was an educated youth working in the countryside, gave a gift to the deputy factory director, asking him to find a job in a textile factory for his daughter. When the trade union came to investigate, he explained that his daughter would not return to the city and would stay in Luochengling. Coincidentally, the deputy factory director was in a meeting outside today and had not returned yet. We have to wait for the deputy factory director to return before we can draw a conclusion on this matter.
In just one day, the news spread throughout half of the textile factory, and everyone was talking about it.
Cao Yumei sneered: "Your daughter went to the deputy director's house with a lot of things in her big and small bags on the first day, and the next day, you went to the deputy director's house for dinner with wine. Your family has taken advantage of the deputy director's
The factory director's home."
Jiang Mi applauded: "Auntie, you must have super eyes and ears. You can even tell me when I visit a relative."
Cao Yumei was angry: "Who are you calling auntie?"
Jiang Mi was puzzled: "Auntie?"
Cao Yumei: "I'm only 28! Who are you calling 'Auntie'?"
Jiang Mi sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I think you are about the same age as my mother, I am shortsighted."
Cao Yumei was so angry that she didn't even mention the title anymore. She said, "Then you admit that you gave a gift to the deputy director."
Jiang Mi: "Your words are really harsh. What do you mean by giving gifts? I am visiting relatives. Uncle Chen saved my sister. After I took my sister to the countryside, Director Chen also wrote to ask about my sister's situation. The day after I came back, I went to give Uncle Chen some dry goods. They were all picked by my sister and I in the mountains.
Each dried fruit represents my sister's and my gratitude to Uncle Chen.
Not only this time, but every time I come back from the countryside, I have to go see Uncle Chen.
My sister and I cannot be without conscience.
As for the work you mentioned, don't worry. I've already bought the train ticket back to Luochengling and will leave on October 4th."
Cao Yumei: ???
Jiang Mi: "You may not believe it, but when I bought my ticket to Luochengling, I also bought my return ticket. My elder sister and I are different. My elder sister almost died after staying in Xinghua Brigade before she came back to recuperate. I will definitely continue to dedicate my youth to Luochengling as long as I am well."
Jiang Yan: "I also bought a return ticket and will leave a little later than Third Sister on October 10th."
Everyone: ???
Xiao Jiangbao took the small bamboo spear and pointed it at Cao Yumei iuiuiu. Cao Yumei's face turned as black as charcoal.
Jiang Mi said: "Since someone reported our family, we must clear our name."
Cao Yumei: "Then you want your father to be the deputy director for your sake."
Jiang Aiguo's eyes were red. "I'm busy working every day and completing the tasks assigned by the deputy director 200%. Last month, our workshop was ranked first in the factory. That was a joint effort of ours. First, you slandered my daughter and son, Deputy Director Chen, and now you're slandering me. How can your heart be so filthy?"
Just then, a car drove in from outside. Peng Yang got out of the car with a bag in his hand and walked around to this side of the car to help open the door. Chen Gaoling then got out of the car.
Jiang Mi lowered her head and said, "Uncle Chen, Miaomiao and I shouldn't have given Uncle Chen mushrooms. Miaomiao and I
I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Chen."
Jiang Miao burst into tears, "But I just want to thank Uncle Chen."
Chen Gaoling reached out and patted Jiang Miao's hair: "Don't cry, thank you for picking such fresh mushrooms." He then said to the crowd: "I treat Jiang Mi and Jiang Miao as my own nieces. Is this kind of interaction also considered bribery?"
Everyone looked at Cao Yumei. "Comrade Cao, do you have anything else to say?"
Cao Yumei immediately changed her tune and started crying too. "I heard someone said Jiang Mi was going to get a job in the Propaganda Department through a backdoor. How could she have gotten one? One more person who got one through the backdoor means one less spot. It's so unfair to others. I've been deceived and used as a pawn."
She heard it from Liao Yun and she also saw the letter of complaint written by Liao Yun.
Liao Yun is the secretary of the trade union and the sister-in-law of Director He of the supply and marketing cooperative. She solved the case.
He was angry that Jiang Mi looked down on his son and was about to ruin Jiang Mi's job.
Liao Yun and Cao Yumei were criticized throughout the factory for slandering factory cadres. They also wrote a self-criticism that was posted on the blackboard for a week. They were humiliated and lost all their dignity. This month's bonus and this year's performance appraisal have nothing to do with them.
Both of them regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
