Miao Xiuying suddenly had an idea in her mind. The bucket in her hand dropped to the ground with a "clack". She asked in a trembling voice, "Did you really pass the exam?"
Lu Li nodded hurriedly: "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law got second place and got a job at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!"
At this point, everyone around was in an uproar! Passed the exam...passed the exam to work at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative? Everyone knows that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative has good benefits and lots of money!
These people tried their best to get in, and as a result, Jiang Yan passed the exam on the first try.
Miao Xiuying slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I knew she would pass the exam. This is great news! We should celebrate. Where is she?"
Lu Li spread his hands and said, "I'm going back to the countryside. Aren't you going to propose marriage to me? We have to prepare for it!"
Miao Xiuying picked up the bucket and hurried upstairs: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go back first. We can't delay the marriage proposal."
As they spoke, the two men's legs almost left an afterimage.
The others looked at each other, and one uncertain voice said, "Did he really pass the exam? What a fate for Old Miao! Another person in the family will have to eat commercial grain!"
"Who is the one who looks down on the educated youth who went to the countryside? You've been slapped in the face, right?"
"If I had a daughter-in-law like this, I would worship her. This girl is so capable. She passed the exam on the first try. She was born to do this job!"
There were many people in the compound and the news soon spread. Everyone knew that Miao Xiuying's daughter-in-law, who had not yet married into the family, had passed the exam and had a stable job, which would mean her family would have another source of income.
So when her family came out with lots of bags to propose marriage in the countryside, no one was surprised.
Make a decision early to avoid unnecessary trouble!
The old man saw that Jiang Yan’s package was too big for her to carry, so he drove a ox cart to deliver it to Lu’s door.
Shengli was sticking his butt out beating the dried beans with a fire stick. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Yan coming. He dropped the stick and said in surprise, "Aunt, you're back?"
Zhang Yulan, who was eating in the room, put down her chopsticks immediately, stood up and walked out, and asked with concern: "Why don't you play more? Come back in the afternoon! The sun is so strong, and you don't even say to avoid it. Aren't you afraid of getting tanned?"
As he spoke, he picked up the package in her hand. It was not heavy, so it should have been mailed from her home in Shanghai.
That's what she said! It would be strange if the family could leave such a beautiful daughter in the countryside. If it were her, she would be so worried that she couldn't sleep.
Afraid that she would be cheated by a scheming poor man!
Jiang Yan chuckled: "Aunt, it's not that precious. I have good news for you!"
Lu Jiandang had finished his meal and was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. He bared his teeth when he heard this and said, "Tell uncle if you have any good news! Otherwise your aunt will be secretly happy!"
Chen Min brought out the sour plum soup and handed it to Jiang Yan: "Xiao Yan, what's the good news?"
The whole family surrounded Jiang Yan, their eyes full of anticipation, waiting for her to say something good that would make their jaws drop.
Jiang Yan sat on one side. Shengli was a qualified lackey. He took a fan and fanned Jiang Yan hard.
Jiang Yan blinked: "Does passing the exam count as a job?"
"puff…"
Zhang Yulan was choked by her saliva and almost dropped the package in her hand.
"Cough cough cough..." Lu Jianguo's cigarette went into his nose, choking him and making tears flow.
"Plop..." The wooden basin in Fang Cui's hand fell.
Chen Min almost tripped over the threshold, but luckily he held onto the door frame.
Seeing that the family didn't react, Jiang Yan laughed out loud: "Aunt, uncle, this is a good thing!"
Lu Jiandang was the first to react. He put out the cigarette in his hand and covered his pounding heart. "Oh, my heart is about to jump out of my throat. What a surprise! You really passed the exam! Hahahaha, you are promising!"
Zhang Yulan pulled Jiang Yan and asked repeatedly, "What kind of job was it? Did you take the exam yesterday? My girl! How can you be so capable! What did you eat to grow up! Auntie is so happy, I will kill a chicken and stew it for you today!"
Others who use connections to get in through the back door are not as good as Jiang Yan, who accompanies the exam!
Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian were also sincerely happy for her. Going to the city and eating commercial grain was a good thing that even their ancestors could not hope for.
Jiang Yan sipped the sour plum soup and said modestly, "I'm lucky to have met you."
Zhang Yulan disagreed with this. "What do you mean by good luck? That's because you have the ability! Are you hungry? There's food hot on the stove! We have your favorite stir-fried radish and cold-mixed zheergen."
Jiang Yan shook her head: "Aunt, I'm not hungry. I ate at a restaurant before I came here. Brother Lu is behind me and will probably be here soon!"
Without thinking, Lu Jiandang said contemptuously, "He didn't even say he was with you. How could he be a laborer or an afterthought? This man is just like the leeks, one crop is worse than the other!"
Zhang Yulan slapped him and said, "Stop talking! Have you forgotten that someone is here to propose marriage?"
Upon hearing the marriage proposal, Lu Jiandang obviously remembered it, and glared at his two unfortunate sons: "Hurry up and clean up the yard, waiting for me to come! What's the point of raising you!"
Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian: “…” They don’t deserve to live!
He muttered to himself, but still stood up and tidied the yard skillfully, putting the dustpan and sieve back in their places.
Fang Cui was pregnant, so Zhang Yulan asked her to sit down while Chen Min went to sweep the pigpen and chicken coop.
The smell is so strong when it's hot that it makes people want to vomit.
Those in the village who were idle or couldn't stay idle and went to the fields were so frightened that their eyes widened when they saw Lu Lideng driving the 28-inch bicycle with the thing tied to the back seat.
What…what! Are they dazzled? That’s a small piece of pork!
People in the village only eat a few catties of meat during festivals. What a big event must have happened in the Lu family.
Second Aunt was also waiting at the entrance of the village. When she saw Miao Xiuying approaching, she said eagerly, "Xiuying, congratulations! This son has finally been given to someone else. As an aunt, I'd like to have some wedding wine to drink at the same time!"
Miao Xiuying was also a girl from the village, and was very familiar with this. She patted Lu Yan's hand and said, "It's too formal to say these things. I'll make two of my specialties in the next two days, and we can have a drink together. I'm sorry to bother you with Xiaoxiao's marriage!"
Lu Yan has been working as a matchmaker for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen such a big event.
The Lu family values Jiang Yan very much!
Lu Yan smiled from ear to ear: "As long as the two of them are fine, I'll be happy in my heart. Let's go first."
Miao Xiuying was a person who liked to show off. When she saw those familiar faces, she walked in a swagger and shouted, "Aunt Wang, your Yaozu is almost grown into a pig. You should feed him less pig food. None of the task pigs in this village grow as fast as him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.
Aunt Wang glared at Miao Xiuying and cursed: "What's so great about her? She's just an educated youth who went to the countryside! Why are you showing off?"
Miao Xiuying's voice was as loud as a trumpet: "It's my turn to show off. Did you know that my Xiaoyan was admitted to the supply and marketing cooperative? Oh, I wanted to treat you to some candy, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be so lucky and would put your blessings into the coffin."
