Chapter 87: Neither the money nor the face



When Meng Si Ning thought of the male protagonist's family, she couldn't help but think of her own family.

The main concern of everyone in that family is profit, and since they are a prominent family, they also want to maintain some face.

The protagonist's stepfather and stepmother would not care about their dignity in order to lie on him and suck his blood.

When I thought about the life the heroine would face in the future, I couldn't help but observe three minutes of silence for her.

"For a family like this, the Xia family actually agreed to this marriage."

"They didn't take those people from their hometown seriously at first. Father Xia and his two brothers were attracted by the protagonist's ability and character... Uh, character, haha, I don't think it's that good either."

Although Meng Si Ning had not read the novel, he had heard some of the problems between the male and female protagonists in bits and pieces.

This male protagonist has no sense of boundaries between men and women. To say that he has low emotional intelligence is a compliment.

...

Rong District has been very lively recently, but it has no impact on the two best friends.

Meng Si Ning went to work as usual the next day.

In addition to helping Editor-in-Chief Chen translate overseas newspapers every day, I also have to work hard to translate that book.

After Liu Nian came over, she pouted at her and said, "I thought my dad would agree to sell your friend's tea. But when I got home and asked, my dad didn't agree at all."

Meng Si Ning explained with a smile: "Why didn't you agree? My friend said that she made a bet with your dad. This is obviously giving her a chance. There is no way to escape the cooperation with your dad."

"How do you say that?"

"My friend is confident that the tea will sell well."

Liu Nian said: "But I always feel that I haven't helped her. She has given me so many things. I feel embarrassed now."

"Don't be shy. I'll introduce you to her someday. She's very easy to get along with. Are you still studying English? I'll only teach you for an hour this afternoon."

"Learn, learn." Liu Nian said with a smile: "Although I can't read, I have memorized some words. You speak Chinese to me, and I can write English."

Meng Si Ning didn't expect her to take this matter so seriously: "If you stick to this every day, I guarantee that your English level will be this high in one year."

"Really? Don't worry, I'll stick to it. ...Did you see the notice board today? Zhang Han has been suspended for investigation because she stole Director Chen's office key."

Meng Si Ning looked at it and found it was within her expectations.

Liu Nian was quite confused about the recorded broadcast yesterday afternoon. Everyone in the unit said that it was directed and acted by Zhao Qunying herself in order to take revenge on Zhang Han, but she felt that it was Si Ning's work.

But Si Ning didn't have much contact with the radio station on a daily basis, and the people at the radio station would definitely not let her play anything casually.

She didn't dare ask about this.

"Oh, by the way, Reporter Sun didn't come today either. Is he embarrassed?"

From the afternoon of the day before yesterday until now, Meng Si Ning didn't care whether Ai came or not.

"I never thought that Reporter Sun had that kind of interest in you. No wonder he's been giving you yogurt every now and then lately."

"Uh...don't mention yogurt to me. I'll cancel the yogurt order when I get home. I feel like vomiting just hearing the name now."

Liu Nian pursed her lips and said nothing, but it was certain that Si Ning did not like reporter Sun.

With a mother and sister-in-law like that, who would be willing to marry into the Sun family?

Oh, Zhang Han is happy to do that.

...

Compared to Meng Si Ning's busy schedule, Jiang Tang slept in today.

Even if Xia Ling next door wanted to cause trouble for her, he wouldn't have the chance.

At about ten o'clock, Jiang Tang went to the kitchen and made herself two poached eggs.

While they were eating, Liu Xiulan came back exhausted.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Xiulan had just returned from a nearby farmers' market. She had wanted to buy some meat for her son, but she found that she couldn't buy any even if she queued up early in the morning.

She thought she arrived early, but it turned out that others arrived earlier than her.

Seeing her daughter asking, she immediately complained to her: "Is it so difficult to eat meat now? I went to three farmers' markets and couldn't buy any meat. I heard someone say that they lined up at the farmers' market door at three in the morning."

Liu Xiulan said, waving her hands and thinking, "With this queue system, our family will never be able to eat meat."

Jiang Tang didn't expect that there was such a shortage of meat in the farmers' market right now. If it waited until winter, wouldn't it be even worse? "Mom, if there's no meat, chicken and duck will do."

"There are chickens and ducks, but not even any chicken feathers."

Well, Comrade Liu Xiulan was a little angry because she didn't buy meat for her son, and Jiang Tang prepared to stay away from the artillery fire to avoid being affected by sparks.

I quickly ate the fried eggs, rode my bike out, and walked around the tobacco, alcohol, and tea counters of the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative.

I found that their Zhangshan black tea was already on the shelves.

She stood near the tea counter in the department store for a while and found that someone had already paid for a bag of their tea.

It sells for 70 cents a bag in the mall, and you need a food coupon.

Come out of these two places.

Jiang Tang went to the largest farmers' market in the city again.

The lunch rush hour had just passed, and the employees had just been busy for a while. They would be ready to go off work in a while.

She observed today's dishes.

They are all kinds of summer vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, nepeta, long beans, eggplants, bok choy, peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, and leeks.

Nothing else, just the latest dishes.

I walked to a vegetable stall and found some wild vegetables, purslane and amaranth.

She found a lot of these things in the village, especially in the fields and mountains. She hurriedly asked the people who were resting there, "Sister, we still have wild vegetables here. Are they all collected from the countryside?"

The elder sister didn't stand up either. She pounded her legs and said, "Yes, we collected them all from the farmers."

Jiang Tang quickly took out her work certificate and said, "Sister, I'm the secretary of Hongguang Commune. We have a lot of wild vegetables and vegetables there. Do you think we can harvest them?"

"Hongguang Commune?" The eldest sister had never heard of this commune, but she still said, "I don't care about that. You can go inside and find the person in charge of our purchasing department."

The elder sister pointed her in a direction, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly took out a few candies from her pocket and gave them to her: "Thank you, elder sister, I'll go inside and ask."

The older sister didn't think of saying a few words. The girl even gave her a few candies. She quickly took them and said with a smile, "Sister, you're too polite. Go inside and say you're looking for Director Liu."

"Thank you."

Jiang Tang followed the instructions and came to the commerce department of the farmers' market, which was a row of houses at the back of the farmers' market compound, with a courtyard similar to the one on the supply and marketing cooperative side.

When I walked in, I saw a man in his forties, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and rolled-up trousers, sorting the newly arrived dishes. "Excuse me, is Director Liu here?"

"That's me. Are you looking for me?"

This very down-to-earth uncle looked up at her and asked.

"Hello, Director Liu. I'm Jiang Tang from Hongguang Commune in Jiangzhou County. We have a lot of wild vegetables there, including quite a few seasonal vegetables. I wonder if we can harvest them right now."
