[No reply? That's so strange. According to the plot of the book, he should have taken the initiative to write to you.] Jiang Tang was also very surprised. His brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.
[Could it be that he doesn't like me?] The more Meng Si Ning thought about it, the sadder he became. His voice unconsciously dropped, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
"Has the plot taken an unexpected turn?" Jiang Tang muttered to herself, with a vague premonition that the originally planned storyline was quietly deviating.
Meng Si Ning shook her head helplessly. At this moment, she was depressed, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.
[Alas, I now understand that finding a boyfriend who shares the same feelings with me is harder than climbing to the sky.] Meng Si Ning sighed deeply, his tone full of emotion and helplessness.
[So many people are coming to you to propose marriage, and you still think it's difficult?] Jiang Tang's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. In her opinion, Meng Si Ning's conditions were very outstanding, and finding a partner shouldn't be so difficult.
"It's so hard to find someone I'm truly compatible with. I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with Lu Cheng's face. It's been lingering in my mind all day. Do you think I'm possessed?" Meng Si Ning held his head in his hands, a look of distress and confusion.
Jiang Tang reached out and touched her forehead, half jokingly and half seriously saying: [Sister, are you really in love with him? ]
"I only had a crush on the school idol when I was in college, but my love life has been blank since then. How can I know if I'm really in love with him now? But I think it's mainly because he's so handsome. I can't help but think of him all the time." Meng Si Ning blushed, lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and his voice became softer.
"You're definitely a little crazy. Just write more letters when you have time. If he doesn't reply, then don't reply. Even girls like us, when pursuing men, need to maintain some reserve." Jiang Tang consoled with a smile, her eyes filled with concern and encouragement.
[Yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, I saw Aunt Meihua from the compound go to your house yesterday. She must have been trying to be a matchmaker for your sister.] Meng Si Ning suddenly remembered this and said quickly, trying to change the subject.
"My sister?" Jiang Tang shook her head. "My sister's marriage is in the hospital where she works. According to the book, the couple has a good relationship, but their destiny hasn't arrived yet. They won't get married until a year later."
However, Jiang Tang was unaware that Aunt Meihua's visit wasn't to matchmake Jiang Mo, but to introduce her to someone she'd been destined to marry in a past life. Jiang Tang was completely oblivious, leisurely playing with her cat in the yard, enjoying a moment of peace and quiet.
…
Time flew by, and half a month passed in a flash. By then, the roasted tea leaves had piled up like a mountain, reaching over a thousand pounds. Jiang Tang returned to the city and went to the department store to inquire about stocking up.
Section Chief Shen smiled and said politely, "We'll have to wait a while for the goods to arrive. Not many people in our city drink tea on a daily basis. Although we have a certain sales volume, there aren't many merchants who want the goods. This is mainly because our eating habits here are different from those in the south, and people are far less enthusiastic about tea than in the south. We can consider ordering a batch next month."
Jiang Tang immediately visited two other supply and marketing cooperatives, only to receive the same response: they all had a certain amount of tea in stock. She realized that while the village's tea production wasn't high, relying solely on the local market meant the market's capacity was limited. If this continued, the stockpiles would only grow. She needed to come up with a solution quickly.
Jiang Tang ran around all day under the glaring sunlight and returned home exhausted. As soon as he entered the door, he collapsed on the sofa, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
Liu Xiulan had been unemployed recently. Seeing her daughter's tired appearance, she asked with concern, "Third sister, when are you planning to return to the village? Mom will stay with you for a few days and help you share some of the burden."
"Mom, I'm thinking about going to the South." Jiang Tang sat up, rubbed his temples, and said seriously.
"What are you going to the south for?" Liu Xiulan's face was full of confusion and her eyes were full of worry. In her opinion, the journey to the south was long and she was worried about her daughter going there alone.
Jiang Tang, who had just looked exhausted, seemed to be infused with new strength. He stood up instantly, raised his arms vigorously, and said with high spirits: "In order to promote our Zhangshan black tea abroad, the first step is to go beyond the province and make our tea famous! Let more people taste our good tea!"
"Going abroad? You should first stabilize the market in the province. It's not easy to go on a long journey in such a hot weather. The tea has been put into the department store, and you have done a great job. Why do you still want to make trouble?" Liu Xiulan frowned and advised earnestly. In her eyes, her daughter had done well enough and there was no need to take any more risks.
"We can get more orders, Mom. Only by continuously expanding the market can our tea have a broader space for development." Jiang Tang explained patiently, with determination and persistence in her eyes. She knew that if she wanted to achieve her goal, she had to take this step bravely.
"Don't worry about the order for now. I want to tell you about your lifelong event." Liu Xiulan changed the subject and showed an expectant expression on her face.
"What's the important thing about my life?" Jiang Tang looked confused. She didn't expect her mother to suddenly bring up this topic.
"A few days ago, your aunt Meihua came to our house and found a matchmaker for you. The man is in our army, his family is in Jing City, and he is now a company commander. I asked your father to inquire about it. This man has excellent performance in the army and is very popular. It's a good thing that you are back now. I will talk to Meihua later and arrange for you to meet." Liu Xiulan looked at her daughter with anticipation. In her heart, this was a rare and good marriage.
"Captain from Beijing, what's your name?" Jiang Tang asked curiously, with a complicated emotion in her heart.
"Zhang Hexi, their Zhang family is a military family with a deep family heritage." Liu Xiulan answered with a smile, her words full of satisfaction with this marriage.
"Mom, mom, I don't think there's any rush to find a partner. You can worry about my brother and sister first. I just started working and my career is on the rise. I really don't want to get married so early." Jiang Tang quickly waved her hand to refuse. Her mind was all on work at the moment, and she didn't have much thought about marriage.
"Don't mention them. Do you think I haven't told you that? Your brother is out of town. I can't reach him and can't take care of him. What about your sister? Haven't I introduced enough candidates to her? I don't know what she is so picky about. She is never satisfied with every candidate she meets. She really thinks she is a fairy." Liu Xiulan couldn't help complaining when she mentioned her son and daughter's marriage. Her face was full of helplessness and anxiety.
