Outside the county town, at the quarry.
After the winter, even the work of weeding seemed much more arduous. The new manager was even stricter than Manager Wu. There was no preferential treatment for female comrades, and no one was allowed to slack off on the work. In just over half a month, Sister Ma felt that she had aged by more than ten years. Every time this happened, she would curse Chen Niannian who left.
She couldn't bear to eat the white flour her family sent her, so she gave it to the farm manager. After some inquiries, she learned that Chen Niannian was moved out by her family through connections. It was said that her family had a strong background, so not only did she get rid of all her problems, but she also suddenly got a job in the garment factory and became a leader of some importance.
When he said this, the supervisor shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't offend her at the beginning. This female comrade is very important!"
This "important" female comrade still has a handle in Sister Ma's hand. After hearing about the Chen family's tremendous power, Sister Ma was actually quite unsure. She was not sure whether Chen Niannian was still under her control. It might be a little late to start grabbing the string of a kite that had already flown far away.
But the moment she saw the other person's figure appear outside the farm, Sister Ma knew that her bet was right. She said a few perfunctory words to the people next to her and stood up to greet Chen Niannian.
The latter was wrapped tightly, with an impatient look on his face: "Come out and talk."
"Okay!" Sister Ma was in high spirits, and she didn't care even if Chen Niannian had a bad attitude.
The two of them walked into the farm and came to a remote corner where no one was around. Chen Niannian looked around and lowered his voice and said, "What do you want? Can those letters be sent casually? If someone sees us, we'll both be finished. Do you understand?!"
The family obviously has such a huge network of connections, but they are still silent about those things. Sister Ma was unsure of Chen Niannian's attitude. She weighed the pros and cons and tentatively said, "The body of Manager Wu was found last week. He was eaten by wolves and his face was unseen. The miserable appearance scared me so much that I had nightmares for several nights. Xiao Chen, let's be frank. I don't have any requests. I just want to leave the quarry, which is a place where people are eaten. Please help me."
"impossible."
"I heard you have someone above you, so you can eat the meat and I'll just drink the soup. Otherwise, don't blame me for smashing the bowl."
A trace of resentment flashed in Chen Niannian's eyes. After a while, she said in a wronged voice, "That person is not mine. He is from my fiancé's family. My relationship with him is ordinary. It is extremely difficult to help you leave the quarry.
Sister Ma, you know I don't lie easily. If my family really had connections, I wouldn't have been tortured to that extent by Manager Wu. You're good to me, and I treat you as my own sister, so I'll help you if I can."
"Life in the quarry is really hard." Sister Ma changed the subject and said with a smile, "Your garment factory has good benefits, right? Do you have meat coupons?"
Following the other party's suggestion, Chen Niannian gritted her teeth and let Sister Ma take away almost all her money and notes. In the end, she left the quarry with empty pockets. She turned around, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and the gloom in her eyes seemed to be dripping with water. Sister Ma was the first person who could get money from her...
She remembered this account!
…
The last harvest dance received unanimous praise from both inside and outside the art troupe. As soon as Su Niannian stepped into the dance studio, Gao Shanyue pulled her away to discuss the selection of people to go to the imperial capital. It was useless even if Jiang Xiaofei stomped her feet in anger.
There are New Year's plans, and the most important thing is that she needs to go to the research institute. Due to stomach problems, Su Niannian easily turned down this difficult task.
Gao Shanyue spent the entire morning unable to choose a suitable candidate.
The two were still discussing on the way to the cafeteria. Gao Shanyue said, "Let Shen Luo and I take care of the trip to the capital. As for you, Deputy Director Zhang has other tasks. She ordered us to develop a new dance before April. The communication with the capital is constantly strengthening.
If we don't come up with something good, we might be at a disadvantage. The Imperial Capital Choreography Team is full of talented people, and they are not vegetarians. By the way, when is your due date? Can you arrange the time? "
"March." Su Niannian subconsciously touched her belly. After noticing a slight movement inside, she smiled calmly and said, "As long as you're not out on a field trip, it should be fine."
"Okay! We have earned enough face for Lao Zhang during this period. After the New Year, I will go to him to arrange to expand the choreography team. You are the best living signboard of our team..." While the two were talking and laughing, they happened to meet Gao Jianshe and Jin Chuan who were coming towards them. Gao Shanyue's eyes lit up and his voice rose two degrees: "Cousin~!"
Gao Jianshe shook off his goosebumps. He resisted the urge to run away and said, "Professor Jin wants to talk to you about the last show. Why don't we go to the cafeteria with... and this Deputy Captain Su?"
"Okay!" Gao Shanyue answered readily, without noticing that Su Niannian's facial expression was slightly stiff. The group of four walked towards the cafeteria. Zhang Yan was responsible for the meals in the cafeteria. He knew very well that eating well was the best treatment for the soldiers, so he was willing to spend money on the ingredients. In addition, Su Jianshan gave him some leniency, so when Gao Jianshe sat down with the two female comrades holding the meal tray, his eyes almost fell out.
He glanced at the pitiful pieces of meat in his and Jin Chuan's bowls and couldn't help asking, "Which window did you get your food from?!"
"It's a secret. Let's talk business." Gao Shanyue wiped the chopsticks clean and handed them to Su Niannian. She bickered with Gao Jianshe on her own, and then communicated with Jin Chuan about matters in a relaxed tone. Su Niannian occasionally asked one or two key questions. From beginning to end, she kept her presence very low, but even so, Jin Chuan's eyes still fell on her uncontrollably.
"Thank you." Su Niannian pursed her lips and smiled, with falling stars in her eyes.
Jin Chuan has seen too many different kinds of women.
Su Niannian is undoubtedly the best. She is smart, pretty, and intellectual. Even her eating movements are particularly elegant and beautiful, without making any sound. In fact, Jin Chuan can no longer see any of his childhood in her. In other words, Su Niannian is like a rose raised by Jin Lou himself.
She has the shadow of her brother. Her daily habits and the way she behaves all bear the traces of Jin Lou, making Jin Chuan feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze and felt extremely friendly.
He should have hated her! But he was inevitably attracted to her, despising her while admiring her at the same time. When Jin Chuan realized what he was thinking, his face immediately darkened.
He didn't know when he became so eager for Su Niannian.
Are you crazy?!
This is clearly a terribly selfish woman!
