As the Lunar New Year approached, Captain Sun called the entire village together for a meeting: "Fellow villagers, this year, under the leadership of Secretary Jiang, our village has planted vegetables and sugarcane, and the harvest has almost doubled compared to previous years. Of course, this is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone.
The villagers discussed it and decided to give everyone another welfare distribution at the end of the year, giving each family three yuan and two kilograms of cornmeal. As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out from the audience.
Everyone is saying yes, yes.
I feel like there is hope for this day.
Everyone says that Secretary Jiang should be given some benefits.
Captain Sun smiled and said, "I said that, but Secretary Jiang said that she is an official and her salary and benefits are provided by the government, and she will not ask us ordinary people for a penny.
Secretary Jiang said that if the villagers want to express their gratitude, they should support her work."
...
Zhao Qunying also responded and asked for fifty kilograms of brown sugar.
Jiang Tang brought someone to deliver it personally.
She also went to the textile factory. Anyway, the routine of the textile factory was that they would follow whatever the newspaper wanted.
More than 200 kilograms of brown sugar were successfully sold.
It also brought a considerable amount of income to Shaluo Village.
There was no movement from others.
Someone I haven't seen for half a month.
Today, Jiang Tang specially wore a red scarf bought by her best friend and a brown woolen hat with ear protection to pick him up from get off work at the gate of her factory.
I originally wanted to give him a surprise, but people from his factory who were getting off work started coming out one after another.
Maybe Jiang Tang's outfit was too eye-catching and attracted a lot of people's attention.
Jiang Tang was so embarrassed that he turned his back.
As a result, everyone in the factory left and there was no sign of He Yan.
Helplessly, I rode my bike to his house to wait for him.
It turned out that his door was open.
Jiang Tang was a little angry. After locking up the car, she pinched her waist and shouted angrily, "He Yan?"
He Yan heard the sound and came out of the house.
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Tang started to speak: "He Yan, why are you back? Do you know that I have been waiting for you outside your factory for a long time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman in her fifties appeared behind He Yan. The woman smiled when she saw her, then turned her head to look at her stunned son and said, "Third brother, is this your girlfriend?"
He Yan quickly came back to his senses: "Yeah, yeah, Mom."
As he said that, he quickly stepped forward and took Jiang Tang's hand: "Tangtang, I just went to pick up my parents."
As he was speaking, a gray-haired man who looked somewhat familiar to He Yan also walked to the door.
Jiang Tang had thought of various scenarios of meeting her future in-laws, but she never expected it to be this kind of scenario, and she was not fierce.
Really? It's not a bad thing, it was an accident.
Faced with such a situation, even Jiang Tang, who usually knows how to control the situation, didn't know how to react.
I feel embarrassed like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
He Yan smiled at her and held her hand, as if to silently encourage her.
After Jiang Tang came back to his senses, he hurriedly called out, "Auntie, Uncle, hello."
He's mother came forward and took her hand enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, you are really beautiful. No wonder A Yan likes you so much. I like you too when I see such a cute little comrade. Your uncle and I came to visit suddenly, and we haven't had time to let He Yan tell your parents.
Today is a good day, let's meet first. It's cold outside, come inside quickly."
Jiang Tang's cheeks were flushed with praise from He's mother, but she didn't forget to ask with concern: "Uncle and aunt, did you just get off the train? You must be exhausted from the journey."
Father He smiled and said, "Not bad."
After seeing Jiang Tang, He Yan couldn't take his eyes off her. After not seeing her for half a month, he felt that his girlfriend had become more beautiful.
Seeing that she was chatting well with her parents, she did not forget to help and poured them some water.
"Mom and Dad, you guys take a rest first, I'll go cook."
Jiang Tang stood up suddenly: "I'll go help you, uncle and aunt, you guys take a rest first and warm up. Oh, right." As she spoke, she took out a few oranges that Si Ning had given her from her pocket: "Here are some oranges, you guys try them, they taste really good, they'll whet your appetite first."
As he said that, he pushed He Yan to the kitchen.
Mother He looked at the orange in her hand, then glanced outside at the two people. She whispered to her husband, "She's even prettier in person than in the photo. No wonder your son is so worried. What do you think?"
Father He peeled the orange and took a bite, then smiled and said, "As long as my son likes her, it's fine. I think the girl is pretty good too, quite cheerful. As long as she doesn't dislike our son's flaws, it's already pretty good that she can find a wife."
Mother He hit him out of fear, but she also laughed: "Indeed. I think the little girl has a good temper. When she came in just now, she looked quite fierce."
He's father said, "I'm being mean to your son. You can tell from what he did just now. Normally, our son is the one being suppressed. The key is that A-Yan is quite happy to accept it. I never thought that the youngest one would actually like this. It's good this way. I can control him."
"Let's see how her family is this time. When it comes to picking up the bride, the adults in the family are the most important."
He's father nodded.
In the kitchen, Jiang Tang helped He Yan tie his apron.
Staring at him angrily.
He Yan sighed and whispered in her ear, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise and pick you up tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come back today by chance. But it's good to meet you in advance. You see, my parents like you very much."
"But I'm not prepared at all."
He Yan pulled her hand and said, "You are very beautiful this year, especially beautiful.
How come you've become so pale after not seeing you for half a month? "
Jiang Tang raised her hand and pushed his face away, which was about to get close to hers: "Hurry up and cook."
He Yan was fine and started steaming rice.
He Yan also has an electric rice cooker, which Jiang Tang asked Meng Si Ning to buy from the mall. It is the same model as hers.
There are no markings on the parts inside.
Jiang Tang wanted to help him wash the vegetables, but He Yan didn't allow it: "The water is too cold, help me light the fire."
"I asked you to cook. Will my aunt have a bad impression of me when she comes in later?"
"No, they won't know that I'm a germaphobe. I'm the same at home."
"Oh. All right then."
In order to welcome his parents, He Yan bought the ingredients in advance.
A piece of pork belly and a fish.
In winter, we only have cabbage and radish.
The meat slices were stir-fried with bean sprouts, which were grown by He Yan himself.
It was that time in Youcaoling that Meng Sining bought bean sprouts from the mall.
He lied and bought it from outside. He Yan liked it and thought it tasted good. After returning home, he tried to grow bean sprouts.
He actually sent it out.
One braised fish, one spicy and sour cabbage, and the last one was the fried shredded potatoes that Jiangtang liked, and an egg soup.
During the meal, He's mother enthusiastically kept serving food to Jiang Tang. "I heard from Ayan that you were a cadre in the commune, responsible for two villages, and in just six months you brought the two backward villages to the forefront. That's really amazing."
Jiang Tang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and said modestly, "Auntie, I'm just lucky. The two captains of their village are very good and willing to cooperate."
