Chapter 81 Hot
After Jiang Cheng came out of the textile factory, he went directly to Director Zhang's home.
Half an hour later, Director Zhang personally escorted Jiang Cheng out, smiling like a flower.
When Director Zhang turned back, his wife asked, "Is it that serious?"
"As for that! Just watch, this girl has a bright future, she is not comparable to you and me."
Director Zhang's wife was suspicious, but didn't say anything.
In the next few days, Jiang Cheng stayed at home translating the work he received from Xinhua Bookstore.
The bustle of the slum and the entire street formed a sharp contrast with her quietness.
Several women gathered together in the courtyard.
"Did you get the rags?"
"Of course! When people heard that I was from our Fourth and Fifth Alley, they gave me more work."
"Me too! It's because Jiang Cheng has a good relationship with the textile factory."
"I have to get back to work. This thing costs several cents each!"
"It's not that great. I was counting on this to buy some meat."
"Forget about eating meat. My husband has been washing dishes these past two days."
A group of people were talking at once, chatting with each other.
Everyone was in high spirits, because making cloth bags could make much more money than making matchboxes!
Lin's mother just came out to pour water. When she heard what they said, her mouth was twisted to the sky.
"It's just a few cents, why are you so proud of it!"
Li Chunxiang's own mother was among them, and she retorted without any leniency: "I really can't look down on you even with my eight eyes! You are everywhere, you are always asking for trouble, right? You don't look down on a few cents, come on, throw it on the ground, I will look down on it!"
After being scolded several times by Li Chunxiang's biological mother, Lin's mother was really a little scared.
The key point is that this old woman is a real tiger!
She dares to curse at everything and always wants to take action!
Li Chunxiang's mother knows how to make tofu. Usually, she is the only one who pushes the roller for grinding the beans. The strength in her hands pushes Lin's mother like a spinning top.
Mother Lin curled her lips and said nothing, but she was actually extremely jealous.
At first, she was proud of her reputation and looked down upon the job of making rag bags, but within five days, the first group of people who made them started getting paid.
Mother Lin was a little moved.
She was so excited that she went along, but ended up not getting any job!
Lin's mother came back cursing, and heard that other people in Siwu Hutong got jobs because of Jiang Cheng.
Just like that, she concluded that it was Jiang Cheng who was behind this.
But every time before she could find Jiang Cheng, she was blocked by Li Chunxiang, Aunt Sun, and Grandma Shen.
She has been defeated time and time again, but Lin's mother is not the brainless Lin Jiaojiao.
Even if you feel angry, you have to hold it in.
A few days later, Jiang Cheng sent the translated text to Xinhua Bookstore.
I went there at the perfect time, and my fourth translation certificate was issued.
Jiang Cheng received his royalties and returned to the compound with his fourth freshly-issued translation certificate.
After returning to the slum, Jiang Cheng put all the cash in the space.
At present, the machinery factory has given 800 yuan in royalties, the food factory has given 700 yuan, and Uncle Zhong has given 200 yuan. The latest batch of translators has earned a total of 467 yuan. Together with the previous savings, Jiang Cheng's small treasury already has more than 2,600 yuan.
She is definitely a little rich lady!
After putting the money away, Jiang Cheng was about to wash his hands and have lunch, when he heard some noise coming from the Lin family.
She made eye contact with Grandma Shen, and her gossipy nerves immediately came online.
Grandma Shen whispered, “It seems like a matchmaker came to introduce a date to Lin Jiaojiao.”
"oh…"
Jiang Cheng said "oh", Lin Jiaojiao is two years younger than her, nineteen.
Nineteen is too young in modern times, but in this era it is indeed enough to go on a blind date.
But what does this have to do with her?
Jiang Cheng looked at Grandma Shen who was hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile: "Lin Jiaojiao is getting married, what are you embarrassed to do."
When Grandma Shen heard this, she laughed out of anger. "I don't have anything to be embarrassed about! I'm just worried about you!"
Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully, "I'm so pretty, why should I worry about that?"
Grandma Shen: Speechless is her byword.
Grandma Shen was interrupted by Jiang Cheng and almost forgot what she was going to say, so she simply pulled Jiang Cheng into the west room.
"How big of a deal is it that you have to hide it from others? Did you pick up money?"
"Stop talking!"
Grandma Shen asked Jiang Cheng to sit down and asked, "Have you ever thought about finding one?"
"Looking for...?"
Grandma Shen said with a look of disdain: “You still put it on.”
Jiang Cheng looked confused. He was misunderstood for not pretending the first time.
"I told you to find a partner, but you didn't find one. You're already 21!"
! .
Jiang Cheng finally caught up with Grandma Shen’s train of thought.
"I'm only twenty-one, there's no need to be so anxious."
Nowadays, many girls in the city get married at around 23, 24 or 25 years old.
People always have to pick and choose.
"That's not how it's calculated. You're not getting married right away! You have to get to know each other and spend some time together. That time has to be taken into account."
"It's not like you want to get married and there are people lined up next to you waiting for you to pick one."
"As for marriage, if you choose early, you can still get a good one."
Grandma Shen paused here, looked at Jiang Cheng who looked indifferent and continued: "I'm not urging you to get married, it's just that recently people have been asking about you, and you've been busy recently, so I didn't ask you and just evaded them."
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Jiang Cheng attached some importance to this issue.
She is not against marriage, her parents have a good relationship, but she doesn't want to settle, at least she wants to find someone who is good in himself.
“Grandma Shen, I will get married when I find the right person. If someone asks you next time, just say I want to find one myself.”
Grandma Shen nodded.
"I know that you have to live your life to your heart's content. If you find me annoying, I will have to help you keep an eye on things and check things out."
Jiang Cheng directly hugged Grandma Shen's arm and said, "Of course! If it really was that, you would have to marry me off."
"good!"
The two of them agreed, and Grandma Shen went out to get the meal out, and she and Jiang Cheng ate it.
After they finished their meal, Jiang Cheng saw Lin Jiaojiao coming out with a man while he was washing the dishes.
"Go out and turn left, and you'll see the toilet."
"Okay, thank you, Comrade Lin."
The man walked out and Jiang Cheng looked at him twice.
If she was not mistaken, then this man was the one who followed her that night!
She pretended to be a ghost to scare him at that time. Why was she released from the police station so soon?
"What are you looking at?! Do you have any shame?"
Lin Jiaojiao stared at Jiang Cheng arrogantly and said proudly: "Comrade Yang is a street official. He has a high level of ideological awareness. That's why he doesn't like people like you."
Jiang Cheng squatted down to wash the dishes and turned his head to look at Lin Jiaojiao.
"Lin Jiaojiao, you are not only mentally ill, but also blind. Please don't come to me if you are sick. I am not a veterinarian."
"Also, I have good taste, don't disgust me with your favorite disgusting things!"
Jiang Cheng performed as usual. Lin Jiaojiao wanted to scold him back but she caught a glimpse of Comrade Yang coming back.
She simply stepped sideways to block Jiang Cheng.
Yang Yuanming took a quick glance and the figure looked familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it.
