After saying goodbye to Gao Shanyue, Su Niannian got on her bike and did not go into the staff quarters. As it was early for her to go home, she turned around and went to the No. 1 Primary School to pick up Xue Ya.
Ever since Xue Weidong got into trouble, Xue Ya became the person that Su Niannian took special care of. It was not easy for Wang Guifen to take Fubao back and forth twice, so as long as they got off work early, it was usually the job of Su Niannian and Gu Zhiye to pick up the children. While waiting outside the school, Su Niannian saw Liu Juhua without surprise.
She pushed the cart and walked slowly behind the other person.
"sister in law."
Liu Juhua seemed startled. When she turned around and saw Su Niannian, a big smile broke out on her face: "Niannian, you can get off work early."
"It's okay. It won't delay picking up the kids." Su Niannian looked around and subconsciously leaned over to tell Liu Juhua the location of the black market that she had found out in the afternoon. Unlike the happiness she had imagined, Liu Juhua looked extremely ugly.
After a while, while Su Niannian was waiting, she stammered, "Xiao Su, you've been so busy all day, and you still took the trouble to help me find out about this. But I'm going to disappoint you. I don't have the courage. I don't dare to go to the black market. This matter ends here."
Her face flushed, and she was about to leave subconsciously, with tears flickering in her eyes.
Su Niannian grabbed her arm.
"Sister-in-law, are you in trouble?"
In this strange place, Liu Juhua could have licked her wounds alone, but when she saw Su Niannian's face full of concern, she could no longer hold it back and almost cried.
"Xiao Su, you are a real person. I don't want to deceive you. Actually, I don't want to buy cloth. You know, there are four children in my family. The teenagers are eating their parents out of money. What's more, Lao Zhang has a family to support. His monthly salary is 89 yuan, and he spends 50 yuan in his hometown. Excluding daily expenses and living expenses, I can't see any hope for the future.
My eldest son works as a carpenter. He is getting older and needs to find a partner, but our family is very poor. As a mother, I want to find a way out for him. I don’t have any special skills. I can only cook. I thought about making some cakes and selling them on the black market. I saved some money, but your eldest brother Zhang saw me this morning. He made a scene and confiscated all my money. He asked me not to embarrass him. Do you think I am embarrassed?"
Speculation and profiteering can be fatal these days.
As a military dependent, you should regulate yourself even more.
But when she saw Liu Juhua's red eyes, Su Niannian felt from the bottom of her heart that there was nothing wrong with her wanting to earn money with her own hands and work hard to create a future for her children!
But these words were too wrong to say, and she couldn't say anything.
Not getting an answer, and just as the children were getting home from school, Liu Juhua wiped away her tears and dragged her two sons back home as if escaping.
Dusk was falling. When Wang Guifen returned with Fubao, smoke was already rising from the kitchen. Gu Zhiye and Su Niannian were cooking together. Unlike the warmth and coziness of the Gu family, the Zhang family next door was in turmoil, with the sound of pots and pans being banged around and shouts of cursing.
After a while, with the sound of the door opening, a burst of sobbing came from the corner of Gu's house, sometimes high and sometimes low, inexplicably disturbing the young couple.
After Su Niannian lost consciousness frequently, Gu Zhiye reminded her, "Why don't you go out and take a look?"
It was clearly just a suggestion, but Su Niannian acted as if she had received some instructions. She jumped up quickly, entered the house, and then strode out of the yard. Soon, the crying stopped. Gu Zhiye carried his son into the room and saw that the lock of the cupboard where the money was hidden was opened. He seemed to be thinking about something, and stood under the eaves holding Fubao, waiting for Su Niannian.
As Liu Guihua from next door entered the room, Su Niannian came in almost at the same time. Gu Zhiye approached and asked out of the blue, "Borrowed money?"
Su Niannian glanced at the person next to her alertly and whispered, "That's called investment."
Perhaps it was because of the example of Gao Shanyue that Su Niannian felt that the black market was not a terrible thing. Although she and Gu Zhiye had stable jobs, it was unlikely for them to become rich. The only way was to find another shortcut. Liu Juhua's incident today reminded her of this. At the same time, Su Niannian wanted to see what kind of trouble the one hundred yuan she lent out could cause.
Although Liu Juhua repeatedly assured that if anything went wrong, she would get rid of Su Niannian completely, Su Niannian did not cause trouble, nor was she afraid of it. This was like a big gamble, and she was confident that she could win a happy future, and that confidence came from her desire to buy a house.
She wanted to have a home of her own in the imperial capital.
…
The first thing to do when arriving at the Longhushan Mine is to visit the factory and various equipment.
As a rookie who was parachuted in, Su Jianshan held a diary and carefully wrote down everything he didn't understand. When the meeting was in progress, he and the grassroots workers stood at the back, while the front was filled with rows of leaders.
Gold mines were discovered in Longhu Mountain a few years ago, and there are indicators that a certain share needs to be achieved every year. This year, the mining industry is not very prosperous, and they are still a long way from their desired goals. For this reason, the factory leaders specially invited foreign experts and elites from various mines to cooperate in the exploitation of Longhu Mountain's mining resources.
Only the best and the most talented people can enter the evaluation team.
Even within Mount Longhu, the number of places is limited.
So, when the factory leader called out Su Jianshan's name, everyone was confused. Who is this person?! Whose relative is this?! Is Su a famous surname in some place?!
Except for a certain leader sitting in the first row, everyone else stared at Su Jianshan who was jogging from behind with a look of shock...
Very strange.
I don't know him at all, but after eye contact I can tell he's a relative of mine.
For a moment, the eyes looking at Su Jianshan were filled with not only envy and jealousy, but also contempt. At first, Su Jianshan did not notice it until he packed his things and was about to follow the inspection team to explore the data. He was bumped by a team member and the diary in his hand fell to the ground.
A man's sneer was heard nearby.
"Comrade Su, I heard that you only graduated from junior high school?" The man with glasses looked unfriendly.
Su Jianshan dusted off the diary and said nonchalantly, "Yes."
"Someone like you can join the exploration team, it's really... I don't know what to say? It's such a waste of resources, who pulled you in, whose power did you rely on?!" The team member who was squeezed out was Zhu Feng's good friend. Seeing Su Jianshan's stupid appearance, he was furious.
They, who graduated from a geological university, were actually no match for a parachuted-in student who graduated from junior high school. It was a joke to tell anyone about it. He didn't know which leader the other party was related to, but in his opinion, when Su Jianshan came to power today, no one gave him preferential treatment. It seemed that he was not well-known, so he wanted to give the other party a proper warning.
Su Jianshan frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to explain. At this moment, a pair of bare hands climbed up his shoulders, and Gao Shanyue came out from behind him, her red lips slightly opened with arrogance.
"Zhu Feng, I am from the Gao family, do you think it's your turn to point fingers at me?!"
