Chapter 73 First Meeting
Although Zhang Yaowen was promoted to a higher level, he became more low-key.
Previously, there were three deputy directors in the county, but now he has squeezed in, while the others have not moved, so there are now four deputy directors.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Fortunately, although Zhang Yaowen had a relatively weak background, he had the support of Director Jiang Tao.
There is also another deputy director, Shen Laoliu's elder brother, Shen Huayang, who secretly supports him.
Plus, he had been accustomed to keeping a low profile over the years, so everything was calm for a while.
The committee member who is a distant relative of Su Yingying is called Xue Rui.
Although Xue Rui's rank is not as high as Zhang Yaowen, his background is more complicated and he is still a veteran member. Even when facing several deputy directors, he claims to be no less capable than them.
But he didn't know that none of the deputy directors were used to seeing him -
"Good boy, come with me to the mountain city and live there for a while. We'll come back together before the New Year."
It was rare for Zhang Guosheng to take a long vacation, or it was because he had performed so well in the past six months.
Now that he has completed a big task, we encouraged him and gave him a seven-day vacation.
On the first day, the two of them went to Hedong and brought Zhu Changren and Zhu Xiaoyan to the county town.
The two families have been in contact for more than half a year, but this is the first time that Zhu Changren and his daughter have come to Zhang Lin's house.
"Okay, your dad and I have already arranged to rest. I'm going to buy some groceries, and you guys can have a good chat, Brother Zhu."
It was the first time that Chen Yuwei met her in-laws from her previous life, the kind of in-laws she would never have the chance to meet in her lifetime. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It is probably impossible to become relatives in this life, so let's just be close relatives.
"Don't be polite, auntie!"
Zhu Changren also felt a little uncomfortable.
Oh my god, it’s hard to call her aunt!
"No, no, no, just call me sister-in-law."
Chen Yuwei shook her hands quickly.
"That won't work, Guosheng calls me big brother!"
…
After arguing for a long time, they finally decided to call them brother and sister-in-law. Zhang Guosheng successfully became a generation shorter.
He didn't mind. He had to call him dad in his previous life, so calling him uncle in this life was not right.
Zhang Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she has gotten used to her current life, she is not so awesome as to call her grandfather in her previous life "brother"!
"Sister Xiaoyan, let's go to my room to play first."
Zhang Lin took Zhu Xiaoyan to the room and took out a piece of clothing that was obviously not neatly sewn but had a nice design.
"I learned how to sew in the nursery. This is my first piece of clothing. You can't reject it!"
Zhang Lin is very tired. Her child is only four years old and has to learn needlework in the nursery.
So she learned it. Chen Yuwei just happened to be proficient in clothing design. When she heard that Chen Yuwei wanted to give a gift to her mother in her previous life, she actually designed several sets of clothes for her.
It took me half a month to cut and sew it stitch by stitch.
Chen Yuwei and the others were not jealous at all.
Although she learned needlework and was the first to make clothes for Zhu Xiaoyan, it was Zhu Xiaoyan who had knitted a sweater for her in her previous life.
A lifetime of mother-daughter love, a piece of clothing, isn't it natural?
"Wow, Linlin, you can even sew clothes now."
Zhu Xiaoyan never went to nursery school and her mother didn’t have time to teach her these things, which made her very envious.
"It's okay, it's very simple, I'll teach you!"
Zhu Xiaoyan, who used the intelligence talisman, was no longer the capable but not particularly smart girl from her previous life.
In less than an hour, I learned basic needlework.
It is impossible to just make clothes, it is a craft.
In addition, Zhang Lin discovered that her mother... no, her sister Xiaoyan's strengths were not needlework or anything like that.
There is no need to force this skill on her and delay her natural talent.
You should know that in her previous life, Zhu Xiaoyan was a good businessman.
She started a fruit wholesale business in the late 1980s and had a good life as a child.
In the early 1990s, her mother bought clothes for the two sisters costing seventy, eighty, or even a hundred yuan each.
She went to the Shancheng clothing wholesale market to shop in person, and every time she brought home goods, it was time for the two sisters to receive gifts.
At that time, Zhu Xiaoyan and Zhang Guosheng often took turns with other fruit vendors to go to Shancheng, Jiangcheng, and Hunan to purchase goods in person.
One person purchases the goods, while the other one guards the stall.
Originally, it was Zhang Guosheng who went out, but he was not as careful as Zhu Xiaoyan. He was too loyal and careless, and was easily cheated.
In that era, if you were not careful, the goods you liked could be replaced by others in the blink of an eye. It was really a rip-off.
Once, the goods they brought back were of very poor quality and the two of them had a big fight.
Later, Zhu Xiaoyan tried her best to purchase goods in person.
Those were very chaotic times, and it was not easy for a powerless woman to achieve this.
Ships and trucks are common.
In my previous life, when I was pregnant with her, I was still buying supplies in the mountain city the day before she was about to give birth...
But later on, as everyone started doing business, competition became more and more intense, and business became increasingly difficult.
Zhang Guosheng's health had been damaged several times by Zhang Yaowu in the countryside.
Later, her health deteriorated, so she stayed to take care of the children and the fruit retail stall, while Zhu Xiaoyan went to work in the south.
In this life, Zhu Xiaoyan is smarter, and with her help, she must take advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up to continue doing business.
That's what she's good at and what she loves!
The two little sisters were whispering in the room, getting along very harmoniously.
The adults were also chatting animatedly.
Zhang Yaowen was very polite and enthusiastic towards Zhu Changren, which made Zhu Changren feel a little embarrassed.
It is said that his father-in-law in his previous life is now the deputy director of the county.
With such a senior cadre, I can chat with him about everything and there is no communication barrier between us.
"If you are free before the New Year, come visit me. My third brother hasn't been home for a few years. He wrote to me before and said he would come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
Zhu Changren invited Zhang Yaowen and his family with a smile.
Zhang Lin just happened to come out holding Zhu Xiaoyan's hand.
I was a little surprised when I heard that.
[My third brother is my third grandfather in my previous life]
What's wrong!
Zhang Yaowen and the other two, as well as Chen Yuwei who was busy in the kitchen, felt a pang of grief at the same time.
He remained calm but nervously waited for Zhang Lin's next words.
This tone is very familiar, I know something is wrong!
[It was not even 1970 yet, my third grandfather had probably just joined the Railway Bureau’s transportation team]
[Fortunately, I haven't driven for the governor yet, and I haven't been tricked by anyone yet, so I still have a chance to remind him.]
In her previous life, her uncle had told her the story of her third grandfather several times.
That was a good hand, but it was fooled and played badly.
They had passed the physical examination and were going to join the army, but that year, none of them were recruited.
Later, the Railway Bureau recruited all these young people who met the physical fitness requirements and put them in charge of engineering work.
It's very hard work, but at least it's a stable job.
Later, he performed the best among his fellow workers, and after learning how to drive, he went to the Railway Bureau's transportation team, responsible for transporting materials for the Railway Bureau.
Finally, my luck came and I was noticed by a leader who came to inspect the Railway Bureau. He was transferred to drive for the governor, who is now the director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee.
In the 1970s, the officers were equipped with special cars!
He drives for such cadres, has a job title, and receives an administrative salary!
This is not something that all chauffeurs can get.
It's like smoke is coming out of the ancestral tomb!
