"Mom, did you receive the photos sent by big brother?"
"Got it. It's on the corner cabinet. Take a look."
Lu Tang came over for dinner today and asked.
"Wow, she's so pretty and pretty. Mom, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?" Lu Tang teased while holding the photo.
Tao Jie pointed at her forehead and said, "Yes, she's good-looking. Your father and I are quite satisfied with her. Your eldest brother is so old, but he doesn't seem to be very active in finding a partner. I thought he was too picky."
"What is that?"
"You're still too picky. Humph, look at your two brothers, they both love color."
"Mom, you're wrong, our Lu family all likes beautiful things.
It’s not my brother’s fault. Who doesn’t want to marry a beautiful wife?
Mom, she is really pretty and looks very well-behaved.
No wonder my eldest brother is so interested in her. Has my dad seen it?"
"I've seen it. He said he saw an interview with this kid and that the radio station is very optimistic about her and wants to transfer her over."
"It's great to be transferred here. This way, I'll be closer to home. If my eldest brother is transferred back to Beijing in a few years, we won't have to worry about finding a job."
"I'm not sure yet. Let's finish your second brother's business first."
"Mom, have you been helping my eldest brother look for a house recently?"
"Yes, I haven't found the right one yet."
"A friend of Han Shuo's has a courtyard house and recently wanted to sell it, but the location is too remote."
"How big is the courtyard and where is it located?"
"In Chendong Hutong."
"It's a bit far."
"But his house is nice, with a double courtyard. It's rare that a double courtyard is still intact and no one else lives in it."
"Two-story? That must be expensive."
"Say it's 8,000 and sell it."
"Eight thousand?"
Tao Jie frowned. The house her second son bought cost five thousand yuan.
If I spend 8,000 to buy a house for my eldest son, I wonder what my second son would think.
Alas, being a parent is not easy, especially when there are many children in the family.
"I'll be resting the day after tomorrow, let's go take a look first."
"Okay, I'll ask Han Shuo to make an appointment."
...
After get off work, Meng Si Ning took Jiang Tang to the tea party.
Meng Sining wore a festive four-piece suit today.
At this time, many people are getting married and four-piece suits are rare.
I offer a hundred dollars for it, no need to buy a ticket, no matter whether it can be sold or not.
The ginger candies I brought were all local specialties of the commune and were packed in a large backpack.
What the people care about most is food, clothing, housing and transportation.
There were various dry goods brought by Jiang Tang, as well as eggs and vermicelli.
Vermicelli is especially popular.
"Everyone, I have a quotation sheet here. I will give each of you a copy. I am the secretary of Hongguang Commune.
Our commune has a complete range of vegetables, fruits, dried goods, tea, brown sugar and red dates.
The holidays are coming soon. If any of your units need these, feel free to come to me.
This is the address and phone number of our commune. My last name is Jiang, and my name is Jiangtang. It means "tang" in brown sugar, so it's an easy name to remember.
Anyone who comes to me will definitely be given the most favorable price.
Look, the newspaper has already asked us to look at the samples.
Come to our commune in a few days to select products.”
A man in his forties standing nearby asked, "What do the newspapers subscribe to?"
"It hasn't been decided yet. Which unit does Big Brother belong to?"
"I'm from Chengnan Textile Factory. I work in the logistics department there. We've also been preparing for welfare benefits recently."
Jiang Tang immediately became interested and stepped forward quickly: "What's your name, big brother?"
"My last name is Xu."
"Brother Xu, how about I bring some stuff to your factory tomorrow?"
"Okay, tomorrow afternoon, but I still want to see what the newspaper has decided."
"Brother Xu, are you going to compete with the newspaper?"
Brother Xu’s smile is self-evident.
After coming out, Jiang Tang was so excited: "Have you noticed that everyone who comes here has connections, like Brother Xu from the textile factory, he must be from the purchasing department.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so sure to let me go tomorrow.”
Meng Si Ning gave her a thumbs up: "I heard from Liu Nian that there are several places like this in our city. Why don't I ask her and ask her to take you there."
"no problem."
In the evening, Jiang Tang returned home and went to his second uncle's house shortly afterwards.
My second uncle and aunt have just come down.
Jiangtang brought them a pound of brown sugar and a few apples.
"Uncle, Aunt, I'm here."
Second Aunt saw her in the kitchen and teased her, "Oh, our little cadre is back. It's rare for him to come here, little cadre."
"Second Aunt, your family's cadre is here to ask for your help. Here, this is the bribe."
Second Uncle took a sip of tea at the door and asked quietly, "Selling tea again?"
"Uncle, we won't be selling tea this time. Isn't August 15th coming soon? Your unit must be distributing benefits. Our commune has a lot of agricultural products, all of which are good things."
Second Aunt chuckled: "It's pointless to ask your Second Uncle about this. He's a quiet person, so he definitely won't open his mouth."
Jiang Tang went up and hugged her second aunt's waist, saying coquettishly: "Second aunt, I'm relying on you."
"No problem, I'll go to the purchasing department tomorrow."
Jiang Tang hurriedly took out the samples he had prepared from his backpack.
Before she came, she packed more than a dozen portions, not much each, just to let everyone see the quality.
"Second Aunt, this is a sample. Also, these apples are for sweetening people's mouths. Eating our food will definitely have some effect."
