"Let's not drink alcohol, let's drink soda. I think kids like it."
As he said that, he opened a bottle in front of each person. There were several flavors, and the children could choose whatever they wanted. The children all drank it happily.
"Sister, you are so polite. We can just drink the water. You and Xiao Gu can keep these."
"No, sister-in-law, the soda is already open, and if you don't drink it, you'll run out of gas."
Jiang Mengxue was afraid that her sister would be scared, so she put some food in her bowl and asked her to eat slowly, then turned around to greet the guests.
"Brother Qiang and sister-in-law, try these dishes. My cooking skills are just average, so please don't despise me."
"How could that be possible? Sister, the dishes you cook are incredible. They are so delicious."
Jiang Mengxue saw that the children were too embarrassed to take more meat, so she directly used the serving chopsticks to put it into their bowls.
"Don't be polite, kids. Finish all the food on the table. We don't like leaving any leftovers."
The stewed pork belly is soft and tasty, and melts in your mouth. The grilled fish is also spicy and fragrant, and the side dishes are even better than the fish.
The lunch was a great enjoyment for both the host and the guests. There was no food left on the table and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Seeing that they liked it, Jiang Mengxue gave each of them a bottle of glass soda.
"The kids probably have activities this afternoon, so bring some soda along for the ride."
"Sister, we can't do this. How can we eat and take it at the same time? You guys have already spent money on today's meal, so you can't ask for more."
"Sister-in-law, please don't argue with me. These are for the children. Qingbei and I won't drink them at home, so we'll give them to them."
"Sister-in-law asked the children to take it. Why are you being so polite to me here?"
Gu Qingbei also came over and stuffed the soda directly into the cross-body bags of several children. The children were obviously quite familiar with Gu Qingbei and were not polite.
They all expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Gu."
He couldn't interrupt a woman's politeness, but he still spoke at the right time: "Sister Xiaoran can go to work directly tomorrow. Someone will be with her all day. There will be someone in the office all day. Don't worry about anything. Just come to me if you have any problems."
"Yes, Xiaoran often comes to our house. The Railway Bureau's staff quarters are not far away. I know everyone in your office. A grown man doesn't know anything. If you have any questions, just come to my sister-in-law."
Jiang Mengran also hurriedly thanked her, but after speaking, she still tried to move closer to her sister. She really was not good at being polite to others.
After seeing Li Qiang and his family off, the group headed back.
Jiang Mengxue explained to her sister in a long-winded manner: "Have you visited your workplace today? Don't worry, the work is very simple, you just need to get familiar with it for a while. You don't know anything about your colleagues, just get along with them normally, but don't interact too much with them. You don't know who is related to whom. Many families work in the same unit, or they are relatives or friends. If you don't understand, don't say too much.
But you don’t know anyone in the city, so make some friends and you can go to the movies and go shopping together. Don’t be stingy.
But you should stay away from male colleagues. Even if you want to have a relationship, you should get to know them thoroughly first. And don't do anything you shouldn't do. I'll visit you often. When my house is renovated, you can move in with me. It's not too far away anyway. You can take the bus directly to your office door in about 20 minutes."
Jiang Mengxue was worried when she saw her sister going to work, but she also knew that these were things that she would have to face sooner or later. This job was relatively good. It was better than doing physical work in a factory. The work was decent, easy and the salary was high.
"I know, sister. I'll come to see you after I have a break. I won't date anyone, and even if I do, I'll ask you and mom to agree first. Don't worry.
And how come your family didn't know about your marriage to your brother-in-law?"
Jiang Mengxue just remembered this. Their progress was a little fast, but it was okay. Both of them were quite satisfied in all aspects.
"Didn't I tell Dad yesterday on the phone? We're going to get the certificate tomorrow morning. As for the wedding banquet, we'll wait until we're done with the family stuff. There's no rush."
"Ah? When Dad came home yesterday, he told me to come to the city to work, but he didn't mention anything about you getting married."
"It's okay, maybe I forgot. We'll talk about it when we get back later."
"Sister, I haven't had time to make clothes with the cloth you brought back a few days ago. I brought it all here. I'll make it slowly after I get off work tonight."
"That's fine. Take a look at what your colleagues usually wear and try some of those. I have some blended wool here, bought at the price of defective goods, so it's very cheap. When you have nothing to do, knit yourself a sweater. I don't have time to knit for you."
As he said that, he stood up and took out a few balls of bright red wool from the cupboard.
"There's a lot of wool. If you knit it densely, it will be warmer in winter."
Jiang Mengran waved her hand: "Sister, I don't want it anymore. You gave me a lot of cloth last time. You can keep the wool to knit sweaters with your brother-in-law."
"Little sister, don't be polite with your sister. She's already knitting a sweater for me. I asked my mother to send your sister's sweater to me. She has a comrade in Shanghai now, and I asked her to help buy the ready-made clothes directly. I'll pick up the package this afternoon, and it should be sent together."
Jiang Mengxue didn't give her sister a chance to refuse and brought her everything she thought she could use.
