Jiang Tang frowned, her face full of embarrassment. She looked at Captain Zhang and said, "Captain Zhang, is there no place to live in the village? It's not appropriate for a girl like me to live with two grown men."
"This time, Captain Yang and his team brought a machine, which is quite large. More than a dozen people came to install it. I have arranged it in all the places that can be arranged in the village. I even arranged two people at Wenlan's house because we really couldn't find anyone else. The two people I arranged for you are master and apprentice. They are responsible for the machine this time and have good character. I also know that this is not a good thing. How about I ask your Aunt Meihua to accompany you at night?" Captain Zhang explained earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity.
"How many days will they stay here?" Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It won't take too long. They say it will be finished in three to five days."
Jiang Tang thought for a moment and replied helplessly, "Okay."
When Captain Zhang saw that she agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that if Secretary Jiang didn't agree, he would have to have someone arrange for him to be sent to the granary.
While Captain Zhang went to call for help, Jiang Tang paced back and forth in the house, her eyes scanning every corner. This main house had five rooms. She lived in the one with the best sunlight on the west side. The easternmost room had been unused, with some miscellaneous items stored there. It could be made habitable after some cleaning, but it didn't have a bed. Jiang Tang had originally planned to use it as a study, but now it seemed she would have to give it to them for now.
Jiang Tang had just finished thinking it over when Captain Zhang, He Yan, and Engineer Zhong came into the yard with a smile. "Secretary Jiang, let me introduce you to this old expert, Han, the person in charge of this mission, and this is Team Leader He."
As soon as they entered the yard, Jiang Tang's eyes widened instantly, a trace of disgust flashed across her face, and she thought to herself: Isn't this the annoying guy who laughed at her in the state-owned restaurant?
Not only Jiang Tang, He Yan also recognized Jiang Tang at a glance, and the surprise in Jiang Tang's eyes was gone, as if he had expected this situation. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He Yan was dressed in a neat work suit, with an upright posture and silver-framed glasses, which added a lot of points to his appearance. He greeted her with a seemingly gentle smile on his face: "Long time no see, Comrade Jiang."
Engineer Zhong wore a pair of high-power glasses, and his slightly plump figure looked particularly amiable in the afterglow of the setting sun. When he heard He Yan's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He pushed his glasses and said, "Xiao He, do you know him?"
Not only Engineer Zhong was surprised, but Captain Zhang was also. They looked at Jiang Tang in surprise, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Tang was also helpless about this coincidence. He curled his lips and looked at the old and young master and apprentice wearing glasses and said, "Yes, I have seen them twice in the city before."
Captain Zhang's originally tense heart relaxed a lot after hearing this. He smiled and said, "It's fate."
Although Jiang Tang disliked the man who made fun of her, she still respected Zhong Gong who was beside him. At that time, all the experts were good experts, so she bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Zhong Gong, the place is simple, I hope you don't mind."
Engineer Zhong smiled and nodded in thanks, his face wrinkled with kindness. "Don't mind, don't mind. It's us who disturbed Director Jiang."
"Your arrival is for the good of our village. We are so happy. Please come in." Jiang Tang had a warm smile on her face and stepped aside to let them into the house.
He Yan was not angry about Jiang Tang's attitude. He still had that faint smile on his face and followed her into the house.
He looked around, his eyes settling on the wooden three-seater sofa, draped with a clean floral fabric, which looked warm and comfortable. A square table sat in the middle of the room, upon which lay a simple ceramic teapot and several teacups.
At this time, Xiaotu and Xiaoye came out slowly from the corner. Xiaotu rubbed against Jiangtang's feet and made a lazy "meow". Xiaoye wagged his tail happily beside him.
Seeing this, He Yan raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but smile: "Comrade Jiang, you also have cats and dogs, they look so cute."
Jiang Tang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "My Xiao Ye is very fierce, be careful it might bite you."
He Yan squatted down and touched the Samoyed, with curiosity on his face: "What kind of breed is it? It's very rare."
Jiang Tang snorted and turned his head away: "I won't tell you."
After that, he took Zhong Gong into the room on the east side and turned to Captain Zhang and said, "Captain, I don't have a bed here. What should I do?"
Captain Zhang patted his chest and said confidently, "Your uncle Liu should have some in stock. I'll have someone bring it over later. Engineer Zhong, I'm sorry to bother you."
Engineer Zhong smiled and waved his hand: "This is already very good. It's just a trouble for Secretary Jiang."
"Mr. Zhong, you're too polite. Don't be so reserved. Just call me Xiao Jiang from now on." After saying that, he turned to Captain Zhang and said, "Captain Zhang, I think Mr. Zhong and Team Leader He definitely need a desk. If Uncle Liu has one, please move one over. I'll pay for it."
Captain Zhang quickly waved his hand, "No, no, the village will make the arrangements. Oh, and Engineer Zhong, Captain Yang and I have agreed that we'll eat at whoever's house we stay at. But Secretary Jiang is a bit special, and she was originally eating at each house in turn. I thought I'd have you go to Aunt Huixian's house next door for dinner, as there are two people arranged there."
Engineer Zhong pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "It's all fine. Captain Zhang will take care of the arrangements."
He Yan beside him said with a hint of anticipation on his face: "Secretary Jiang, I see you have a kitchen here, can I use it?"
"Yes, it can be used. Why, do you want to cook for yourself?" Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
He Yan nodded, a barely perceptible shyness flashing across his face: "Captain Zhang, can we exchange our food coupons for some of your rice, fabrics, grain, and oil so we can make our own food in the future?"
