Chapter 69: The Bustle in the Village



Meng Sining has to go to work this morning. She has been at home these two days and has also written an article on the topic of urban roads.

Before leaving, he watched Brother Lin take the medicine and filled a kettle of water for him.

Drink it within one day.

Before leaving, Meng Si Ning took two oranges and went to Grandma Zhang's house.

After much thought, she decided that she didn't want to have too much contact with Xia Qiu's mother.

Her best friend’s mother was not at home today, so she had to go find Grandma Zhang.

The reason why I don’t go to Aunt Li’s house next door is because she is too gossipy.

A small thing has become known to everyone.

For example, her daughter-in-law's constipation was a personal privacy issue, so she didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, she went around asking people for prescriptions for constipation, and everyone in the compound who knew her knew her daughter-in-law's constipation.

It's so embarrassing that one can dig a big hole with their feet.

"Is Grandma Zhang home?"

The door of the Zhang family is relatively low, and you can see what's going on in the yard even if you stand outside the door. At this moment, Grandpa Zhang is playing with birds in the yard.

No matter when, retirement is the best time.

Compared with later generations, Meng Si Ning feels that retired people at this time live a more comfortable life.

"It's Meng girl, come in."

"Grandpa Zhang, I have to go to work soon, so I won't go in. My brother has just recovered from his illness these past two days, and I'm worried about him. I wanted to ask Grandma Li to help keep an eye on him. I'm afraid he might have a fever again."

Grandpa Zhang put down the birdcage in his hand and said, "Is Xiao Siyun sick? Have you been to the hospital? If not, your grandmother Zhang and I will take the child to see him this afternoon."

"I've already been there. He's taking medicine right now. I'm just worried he'll have a fever again, so I want grandma to help look after him. I'll be back this afternoon."

Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and said, "Just go to work with peace of mind. Your grandma Zhang and I will help you look after little Siyun. Let him have lunch at our house at noon."

"No, we have some food left at home. Grandpa Zhang, I found these oranges outside. They are very juicy. You and Grandma Zhang should try them."

Meng Si Ning was afraid that Grandpa Zhang would refuse, so he put down his things and left.

When Grandma Zhang came out, she saw Grandpa Zhang shouting, "What's going on?"

"Meng girl, let us take care of Siyun today."

Their grandson had been playing with Lin Siyun these past two days. Grandma Zhang knew he was sick and instantly understood what was going on: "Meng girl is going to work today? Don't worry, I'll go over to see the child later."

"An He went to play with him. Let the children come to our house for lunch at noon."

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Wang to buy some vegetables." He turned and looked at the oranges on the table in the yard: "Where did you buy these? They look quite fresh."

"Girl Meng gave it to me."

Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "This girl... has become much more sensible."

Although Grandpa Zhang wasn't as gossipy as those old women, he also knew a lot about the compound's affairs: "The children are older now, and they've experienced a lot, so they'll naturally figure it out."

Grandma Zhang stood there thinking about something and smiled: "That's right, Aunt Zhang said earlier that she saw Jiang Tang and Xia Qiu talking calmly yesterday, and they didn't even quarrel.

Hearing that Jiang Yatou had gone to work in a rural commune, Guangtao made up his mind this time to let the child go to such a difficult place.

"A knife won't be sharp without sharpening, and a man won't go far without training. This is true. Look, the kids on our street are all good."

...

"Erdao, your tea leaves are all broken into pieces. This is definitely not okay."

"Hui Xian milk, after the tea leaves are dried and packed into bags, there will inevitably be some broken pieces."

The old secretary on the side was afraid that some of the guests might be difficult to deal with, so he came to Huixiannan's place to take charge: "Erdao, don't blame your second grandfather for being ruthless. This tea is not good. If I let you in, it will definitely ruin our village's reputation."

"Second Master, these are not all broken pieces. Our kid is sick, and he is waiting for the money from selling tea to see a doctor."

The people behind him who were good friends with him couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "Erdao, your kid has snot running into his mouth all year round. What kind of disease is this?"

"It's because I don't have money to treat it that I keep having a runny nose."

Erdao spoke pitifully, and no matter how distressed the old secretary was, he couldn't accept it from him because of this: "Go back and pick it up, sift out the broken ones, and come back again."

When Erdao heard this, he was delighted and knew that he could take the tea away.

But I didn’t dare to go home, for fear that I would miss the time.

They simply borrowed the team leader's sieve, and the family sorted through the less than three pounds of tea in the yard.

Jiang Tang came to the captain's house early in the morning and saw this scene.

People are queuing up to sell tea, inspect and bag it.

There are only a little over a hundred bags of tea, and they don't sell for much money.

Looking at the villagers who were so attentive and enthusiastic, with sincere smiles on their faces, it seemed as if they had encountered something happy.

Jiang Tang suddenly felt that the responsibility was heavy and the road ahead was long and arduous.

Seeing her coming, everyone greeted her enthusiastically: "Secretary Jiang is here."

"Hello, Director Jiang."

"Hello, Auntie."

"Good morning, auntie."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Secretary Jiang walked all the way to Captain Luo and the old secretary.

I found that they were really attentive and packed only the best tea.

"Old Secretary, Grandma Huixian, the tea you harvested is really good. The quality is definitely not inferior to that of big factories."

Grandma Huixian was just laughing when she heard what was said.

The old secretary said, "Secretary Jiang has finally found a way to make money for our village. We can't help you outside, but I can guarantee that the work in the village will be of high quality."

"Old Secretary, I only have the courage to do this because of cadres like you and Captain Luo. Otherwise, how could I dare to do this?"
