Chapter 57 Rewards
Less than ten days after the new bride got married, she had already won over everyone in the Gao family.
Not only did the whole village know about the Gao family's affairs, but even everyone in the town knew about it. There was nothing they could do about it, as the Gao family's daughter-in-law was too famous in the town.
Now there are people who specifically go to Lianshan Village to see what Gao Shaolin looks like. He actually dared to marry such a fierce woman. You have to worship him.
But they were destined not to see Gao Shaolin, because the fierce woman wanted to have a child, so she locked Gao Shaolin in the room and didn't let him wear clothes. It was said that it was to make it convenient for her to do it anytime and anywhere without the hassle.
There were even people who secretly eavesdropped and came back to say that Gao Shaolin was like a little girl who was forcibly dragged home by the landlord. He huddled on his own kang and shivered, unable to resist, and his wife did whatever they wanted to him.
In short, the Gao family has now become a hot topic among the whole village and even the whole town. Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu naturally know it clearly.
Although they did not go to watch the fun in person, they wanted to have the gossip sister group, with Yang Guiying and Chen Lamei's real-time live broadcast.
Jiang Panyu even knew that Gao Shaolin was despised by his wife for being useless on the kang and worse than the old cucumber on the trellis. What else might she not know?
Even such an auspicious day as the 26th day of the lunar year when Lianshan Village slaughters the New Year pig, such a good thing cannot overshadow Gao Shaolin, which shows how explosive the things that Gao Shaolin and his wife did on the kang were!
Tan Yanlu and Jiang Panyu lined up early and not only brought back half a basin of pig blood, pig bones, pork belly, pig offal and pig trotters, but the two of them were like Japanese invaders entering the village and bought a lot of everything they could.
After buying it, it was handed over to Tan Yanlu to be the chef, with Jiang Panyu helping her.
Pig blood is made into blood tofu, pig bones are made into sauerkraut pot, lean pork is made into meatballs, and pork belly, offal and pig trotters are cleaned and put into a large casserole to make brine.
Tan Yanlu even made a special trip to the town and bought a dozen eggs, a chicken and a duck from the supply and marketing cooperative. She kept her promise and invited Jiang Panyu and Lian Xiuran to a big meal.
Lian Xiuran dressed himself up beautifully when he came to my house. It's a pity that sending flowers is not popular in that era, otherwise he would definitely bring another bouquet of flowers.
Tan Yanlu received Lian Xiuran with a smile, and when it was time to eat, she invited Aunt Wu and Wu Tingting, the grandparents and grandchildren, to come and keep them company.
It was also very interesting when everyone sat down to eat. Aunt Wu sat on the left of Tan Yanlu, Jiang Panyu sat on the right, and Lin Xiuran happened to sit opposite Tan Yanlu and kept little Wu Tingting company.
Jiang Panyu looked at the seats and was certain that Tan Yanlu really had no such intentions towards Lian Xiuran.
Tan Yanlu was not stupid. Lian Xiuran's actions were so obvious, how could she not know?
Thinking back to how Tan Yanlu had treated Lian Xiuran before, she had always been polite and courteous and had never crossed that line.
In other words, Lian Xiuran is too enthusiastic! Jiang Panyu glanced at Lian Xiuran's face curiously. He was still smiling and didn't let anyone know what he was thinking.
Everyone was eating and chatting. Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu talked about Wu Tingting, saying that this child was really talented in studying.
They had only taught Wu Tingting for three months, and the class lasted only four hours a day, but Wu Tingting had already mastered all the first-grade textbooks.
Jiang Panyu and the other two naturally praised Wu Tingting again and again, and they even praised the little girl to the point of making her shy.
Aunt Wu was very happy and said that she was relieved now and no longer had to worry about the child having no future. She could also rest in peace in the future.
Tan Yanlu retorted: "Look at what you said. When Tingting grows up and wants to get married, you have to help her choose the right man.
I've told you that if Tingting has a job in the future, you'll have to help take care of her child. Tingting is still young, and there are still many things for you to worry about, so you can't say you can rest assured now. ”
Tan Yanlu's words actually implied that Aunt Wu would live a long life.
Aunt Wu was also very happy to hear this: "If my old bones can live to that time, wouldn't I become a centenarian?"
"Well, I think your blessing is yet to come. It's bitter first and sweet later. After you have tasted the bitterness at the beginning, you have to enjoy the sweetness in the end!" Jiang Panyu also joined in the fun.
Aunt Wu was flattered by Tan Yanlu and Jiang Panyu's words: "When you two girls are so sweet, it's like honey. I don't know which boy will get the good fortune in the future."
Tan Yanlu then said, "It's too early to say that. If it doesn't suit my taste, I'd rather not get married. Maybe I'll just live like this for the rest of my life."
"Hey, you can't say that. You should get married when you reach a certain age. Otherwise, what are you going to do when you get old?
If we don’t like them, we’ll look for someone else. If we find someone who does, we’ll get married. Otherwise, tell me what kind of person you like. Maybe I can introduce you to two! "Auntie Wu is old-fashioned after all. She thinks girls should get married when they reach a certain age, so she immediately starts urging them to get married.
"I don't know what kind of person I want to find yet, and I don't plan to get married right now. I plan to decide in a few years.
But I think it’s a good idea for the Gao family to marry that daughter-in-law. I plan to learn from her! "Tan Yanlu's words shocked everyone.
"Sister, you are kidding, right? Even if you want to imitate your physique, you don't have the conditions to do so!"
Jiang Panyu was worried when she spoke. She was thinking that Tan Yanlu had changed too much after leaving the plot. She had simply gone to another extreme. Would this really work?
Lian Xiuran, who had been silent the whole time, also interrupted: "Tan Zhiqing, why do you suddenly want to learn from the daughter-in-law of the Gao family?"
"I just think it's great that no one dares to bully her. If I can stand on my own, I won't be afraid anywhere.
Even if your marriage is unhappy, you don't have to compromise. Just kick it off and find the next one. I really think this is what women of the new era are like. ”
When Tan Yanlu said this, her eyes sparkled. She was telling the truth, and everyone could see it.
Jiang Panyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought it was a good idea. If Tan Yanlu was tougher, it might be better for her.
Aunt Wu, however, thought that Gao's daughter-in-law was too tough and that women should be more gentle: "Normal men have tempers, and if he is reasonable, he will naturally listen to you.
If he is unreasonable and you are too forceful, the couple will end up fighting!
Whenever this couple fights, it's always the woman who suffers. The daughter-in-law of the Gao family is one in a million, so she doesn't suffer. If I imitate her in everything, I will be the one who suffers. ”
"I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'll take my time looking for someone who is reasonable and gets along well with me!" However, Tan Yanlu did not change her original intention because of what Aunt Wu said. After all, there is still a lot of time, so she can take it slow.
The people at the table no longer mentioned the topic of marriage, but instead talked about the fact that the town’s cinema would not be closed during the New Year, and whether they should go see a movie then.
Aunt Wu was reluctant to go because she was reluctant to spend money, but Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu naturally wanted to go and take a look.
Lian Xiuran said that the educated youths might go out together at that time: "I will go back and ask them, if they want to go together, you can come too."
Tan Yanlu and Jiang Panyu naturally agreed not to mention it. After the meal, Jiang Panyu packed up and went to wash the dishes.
When Tan Yanlu sent Lian Xiuran out, the two stood at the door for a long time. Jiang Panyu washed dishes while stretching her ears to eavesdrop, but unfortunately she couldn't hear what they said after listening for a long time.
After a while, Lian Xiuran left and Tan Yanlu came back. Jiang Panyu stretched out his two index fingers and compared them, looking at Tan Yanlu with a gossipy look.
Tan Yanlu didn't say anything, but made a cross with both hands and shook her head. Jiang Panyu was puzzled: "Why? Lian Xiuran is pretty anyway!"
While cleaning the stove, Tan Yanlu replied to Jiang Panyu, "Looking good doesn't make a living. I really don't want to date right now. And even if I want to date, Lian Xiuran is not my type."
"Then what kind do you like?" Jiang Panyu couldn't help but be curious. Even Xiu Ran was not in Tan Yanlu's eyes, so how high must her standards be!
Tan Yanlu said without thinking: "I like the one by Zhang Dafoye."
Jiang Panyu almost couldn't keep her expression. In order to prevent Tan Yanlu from noticing, she quickly pretended to be confused: "Who is Zhang Dafoye? Why is the name so strange?"
After Tan Yanlu finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly added: "The real name of that Zhang Dafoye is Chen Weiting, a celebrity in my hometown. He is very handsome and cool, especially when he wears a uniform, he is really handsome and cool, and especially charming."
When Tan Yanlu died a violent death in her previous life, it wasn't as obvious as Chen Weiting's!
But who made her a wandering ghost for so many years? So she knew a lot about some current events in the following decades, and sometimes she even stayed in other people's homes to watch TV!
After comparing so many people, Tan Yanlu felt that Chen Weiting's type was more to her taste, so when Jiang Panyu asked, she blurted out the name of the person from later generations.
Jiang Panyu blinked, she was sure that Tan Yanlu remembered something, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words to Zhang Dafo. Unexpectedly, Tan Yanlu was still a fan during those years when she was a wandering ghost, and she liked the kind of fans who liked the temptation of uniforms + the domineering personality + the domineering aura.
To put it simply, Tan Yanlu has a domineering boss complex. I have to say that Zhang Weiting is indeed very handsome, but it is the 1970s now. Where can we find such a person?
Comparing Lian Xiu Ran’s face with Chen Weiting’s, although Lian Xiu Ran is also good-looking, he is too gentle and refined. No wonder Tan Yanlu doesn’t like Lian Xiu Ran. It turns out that she likes domineering CEOs!
But finding a domineering CEO like William Chan in the 1970s is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
From then on, Jiang Panyu never talked about relationship issues with Tan Yanlu again, because she felt that it was too difficult for Tan Yanlu to find a domineering boss in the 1970s. It would be better for Tan Yanlu to make money and turn herself into a female domineering boss, and then have some fun and cultivate the man of her dreams, and then the possibility of developing a relationship would be higher.
The day after Tan Yanlu treated everyone to dinner, on the 27th day of the lunar year, Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu were cleaning the house.
In the house they heard a noisy voice coming towards this side. Jiang Panyu was very curious, and she couldn't help but go out to see what was going on.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw the team leader and his comrades from the town police station coming outside the yard.
There were quite a lot of people who came, including Officer Chen from the police station and two office staff, the team leader and several village cadres, a group of people from the educated youth point, and villagers who followed behind to watch the fun.
With such a big scene, Jiang Panyu quickly called Tan Yanlu out: "Sister, stop working. Come out quickly. It seems someone is looking for us."
There were so many people coming that Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu could only move benches out to the yard and let a few village cadres and Officer Chen sit down, while everyone else had to stand.
Officer Chen stated the purpose of his visit: "Tan Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing, and this Lian Zhiqing, we are here today on behalf of the police station to commend and praise the three comrades.
Because a few days ago, these three comrades went to the police station to report the case, provided us with very important clues and helped us arrest a group of criminal gangs.
So, today, on behalf of the people, I would like to express my gratitude to the three comrades. These are some rewards given to them by the police station. ”
Officer Chen's words caused the onlookers to whisper to each other, and they all looked at Jiang Panyu and the other three with envy.
Several village cadres obviously knew the purpose of Officer Chen's visit in advance and said a few encouraging words.
Then, Police Officer Chen presented them with their prizes. Tan Yanlu, Jiang Panyu and Lian Xiuran each received an enamel pot, a notebook and a towel. The items were not particularly valuable, but they had a different meaning.
This is a special award only, and it will be included in the personal evaluation of the educated youth. It will be helpful for the political review. If they have the opportunity to return to the city, their chances will be a little better than others.
Sometimes, just this little bit of opportunity can make people's dreams come true.
When the three people received the prizes, they couldn't help but say something like thank you to the country, thank you to the people, thank you, etc., and finally expressed that they would work harder to be a progressive young person. Only then was the award ceremony considered complete.
Several village cadres also felt honored and encouraged Jiang Panyu and others, then left with the public security comrades.
The cadres left, but the onlookers did not leave. They gathered around to ask what had happened and why the comrades from the police station suddenly gave them a reward.
Tan Yanlu spoke succinctly. That was the whole thing, but when she spoke it out loud, it didn't feel right. Tan Yanlu was not a good storyteller, and neither was Lian Xiuran.
But isn’t there also a Jiang Panyu? She is eloquent and can tell a small story in a very interesting way.
So the next part became Jiang Panyu's home court. Jiang Panyu described the story vividly. Except for how much money Tan Yanlu earned from selling ginseng, he did not hide anything else.
As she spoke, people kept saying “Wow, so that’s how it is?”, “What happened next?”
Even Tan Yanlu and Lian Xiuran, who had experienced it personally, couldn't help but applaud Jiang Panyu's eloquence.
In fact, because the incident that day was reported to the police station in a timely manner, it did not show the thrills and horrors in the original plot.
From the time the incident was discovered to the time it happened to the end, they were not even involved in it, but Jiang Panyu's little mouth was able to make an ordinary thing sound so dramatic. If you ask her if she exaggerated, the answer is no, but it just made the listeners feel very memorable.
The villagers listened to Jiang Panyu's story with great interest, and finally left with a look of aftertaste on their faces.
The news that Jiang Panyu and the other two were commended by their comrades from the police station spread. From then on, Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu were often looked at with admiration by others whenever they walked on the road.
Those little hooligans and gangsters with bad reputations in the village would avoid them when they saw them, which was another benefit.
