"Comrade Ji, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Zhang Dawei said with an apologetic smile, "Our team is usually very harmonious."
Ji Yanming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as we don't let the comrades who do good things feel discouraged."
"No, no, everyone in our team is very nice and we won't let any good comrade down." Zhang Dawei was afraid that what happened just now would affect the public security comrades' view of their team. The advanced collective must not be affected.
The captain said some good things about his team and was relieved to see that Comrade Ji really didn't care.
.....
On the other side, Ning Xiyue hooked up with the aunt who had just laughed at Ning Xiaoxiao's intermittent limp. The two talked and laughed, and had a lively conversation like friends who had known each other for a long time.
Ning Xiyue learned from the conversation that her aunt's daughter-in-law had just given birth to a big fat grandson for her. She had taken leave from work in recent days to stay at home to take care of the grandson, so she had some time to chat with her here.
Moreover, this aunt is a relative of the brigade secretary and is also the women's director of the team. She is a powerful figure in the team.
Ning Xiyue felt that she was really lucky.
Although she first tried to get close to this aunt because she was dressed very elegantly, unlike the other aunts in the team who were so casual, and the people around her obeyed her words, she analyzed that this aunt had an extraordinary status in the team, but she did not expect that this aunt's status was so remarkable, and it was so coincidental.
After chatting for a while, Ning Xiyue saw that they had almost finished talking, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her bag and handed them over: "Aunt Qiuju, come and eat some melon seeds, we can eat and talk at the same time."
Aunt Qiuju felt even happier. While cracking melon seeds, she thought to herself that this new educated youth from Xiaoning was really capable. No wonder he received a certificate of honor and a letter of commendation from the police.
Aunt Qiuju was also a thoughtful person. She patted her chest and said, "Xiyue girl, if you don't know anything, just ask me. There is nothing in this team that Aunt Qiuju doesn't know."
"Aunt, you're so kind. I'll be more than polite. I want to ask if anyone in our team can make cabinets, tables, benches, and other furniture. I want to make a set. The room I live in is bare and has nothing in it. I also want to buy some daily necessities."
In fact, Ning Xiyue had already found out some information from Wu Guifang at the beginning, and knew which family in the team could exchange for household items and which family could exchange for furniture.
The secretary's family is one of them, and they have a close relationship with the carpenter's family in the team.
When good luck comes, it cannot be stopped. Who would have known that the aunt she randomly picked from the crowd who she liked would become the secretary's wife.
Ning Xiyue thought of Aunt Qiuju's newly born grandson and her daughter-in-law who was in confinement after childbirth, and then continued:
"If possible, I'd like to exchange it for bills. To be honest, I brought a lot of bills with me when I went to the countryside. The bills for brown sugar, milk powder, meat, soap, etc. are all about to expire, so I want to use them up quickly to avoid wasting them."
Ning Xiyue deliberately said that these bills were suitable for pregnant women and babies in order to tempt Aunt Qiuju so that she could help her wholeheartedly. Since ancient times, the relationship of interests has been the most stable.
Sure enough, when Aunt Qiuju heard Ning Xiyue mention the brown sugar tickets and milk powder tickets, her eyes brightened up, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she became more enthusiastic and attentive to Ning Xiyue.
"Oh, Xiyue girl, you've asked the right person. My great-uncle is a carpenter. People from several nearby teams make furniture for him. His craftsmanship is top-notch. No one who has had furniture made for him has any bad things to say about it."
Aunt Qiuju took Ning Xiyue's arm and said with a smile, "Come on, Xiyue girl, I'll take you there. My uncle doesn't work and has been at home all the time. I'll take you to see him. He has some finished furniture there. Maybe you can take it back today."
"As for other household items, you can tell your aunt what you need, and she will definitely help you buy them. I also have some unused household items at home, such as brooms, dustpans, and bamboo baskets. You can take any of them back. I just want to ask if I can exchange your brown sugar and milk powder coupons for yours first. My daughter-in-law just gave birth, and I want to exchange some for her and my grandson."
Ning Xiyue said sweetly, "Of course, Aunt Qiuju, it doesn't matter who I exchange it with. Aunt and I have such a good relationship, so of course I will give it to you first."
On the way, Aunt Qiuju never stopped talking and kept chatting with Ning Xiyue, asking Ning Xiyue if there was anything she was not used to after joining the team, and if there was anything she needed, and she could help find a solution.
Ning Xiyue knew that Aunt Qiuju's identity was very useful in the team, so she expressed some of her ideas appropriately.
"Aunt Qiuju, to be honest, I have something to ask. I'd like to pay for the construction of a small wing next to the Youth League compound to use as a kitchen and store some things. I'm not sure if it's possible, and I'm not sure how to get the materials."
After saying that, he looked at Aunt Qiu Ju with a slightly embarrassed look: "It's mainly because I like spicy food. In order not to affect everyone's meal and avoid unnecessary conflicts, I want to cook alone."
If you want to cook your own food, you will need to find someone to build a stove. You will also need a place to store kitchen utensils and firewood. A small side room is the most suitable place. Building a kitchen requires materials and people.
She, an educated youth who was unfamiliar with the place, couldn't do anything and was just groping in the dark.
It is much more convenient to have a local person leading the way.
"Aunt, money and notes are not a problem. Just build the house. My parents are senior technicians in the factory and they get a lot of notes subsidies. I also have an older brother in the army and a second brother in the Dahuai team next door. They will all subsidize me."
Aunt Qiuju looked at Ning Xiyue with even more passion in her eyes.
