Chapter 524 Do You Want to Help Her?
"I...my son..." Jiang Manye blushed and stammered.
"Oh, I forgot about this. The child is still at home, right? Hurry up and ride your bike to pick him up." Song Ying slapped her thigh.
"No, no, the child is not at home, he has gone to school. We are still squeezed in a single room of a few square meters, which is inconvenient, so we let him live on campus. I saw so many college students, and I was thinking about him... He should be thinking..." Jiang Manye said it was not good, and looked at her husband.
In fact, Fan Shilei was also surprised. Except in school, it was rare to see so many college students in a room.
"If there is a chance, I really hope to let Fan Jun meet you all. He will definitely be very happy." Fan Shilei took over.
"Are you studying at No. 1 Middle School?" Huang Ling asked.
"How did you know?"
"Oh, I'm familiar with all the schools around here. There are only a few schools that offer boarding. The other schools are not very good. With your level, I think it will be no problem for your child to go to No. 1 Middle School." Huang Ling answered naturally.
The principle of No. 1 Middle School is academic performance, so it is unrealistic to accept students from nearby towns and villages because everyone has to go home every day. Therefore, the high school is equipped with dormitories for students who live far away.
"You're too kind. When we were transferred here, Xiaojun was in the third year of junior high school and he took the entrance examination for No. 1 Middle School. To be honest, I managed to get into the high school department of No. 1 Middle School by a narrow margin." Fan Shilei replied.
"No. 1 Middle School is very strict. Today is not a day off and there will be no holiday. School starts earlier than other schools." Dongzhe, an old student of No. 1 Middle School, took over the conversation.
"Yes, yes!" Several other old students from No. 1 Middle School also responded.
"If Mr. Fan is not afraid that the child will miss today's evening self-study, he can go and pick him up and talk to the child. They will go back to school in two days and will not be back until summer vacation." Huang Ling suggested.
The couple was very happy and nodded quickly. Fan Shilei borrowed a bicycle to pick up his son Fan Jun.
In front of this group of people, Jiang Manye wrung her hands obediently and dared not speak. When someone called her, she responded in a panic. She was not at all like the strange woman who was looking at the house with a knife in the alley.
Huang Ling pulled her to sit next to her and chatted with her in a low voice. Worried that she was hungry, she also treated her to a small piece of cake.
"This is better than egg cake, I..."
"No need to save for the children, there is enough for them."
"Oh, okay."
The two of them talked about selling meat again. Huang Ling spoke very clearly. Jiang Manye shrank back and looked at Huang Ling up and down with a look of disbelief on her face:
"Sister Ling, you also sold pork."
"Pork is nothing. Our sister Ling can raise pigs! Brother Cheng didn't know how to raise pigs at first, but it was Sister Ling who taught him." Song Ying continued.
"Oh my God!" Jiang Manye was even more surprised.
When Fan Shilei brought Fan Jun back, Jiang Manye had regained her original lively and generous personality and integrated into the group.
Fan Jun's temperament is very similar to his father's. He is thin and small, and wears a pair of glasses, but his eyes are full of alertness, and he is obviously a smart child.
Several children sat together, and he didn't feel awkward for long before his parents heard him excitedly say:
"I know you guys. I saw your pictures and names on the school bulletin board. I never thought I'd meet you in person!"
"Classmate Fan, I will write a list for you later. There are many of our brothers in the second and third years of high school. If you have any problems, go to them. Mentioning the names of Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei will be helpful!" Dongzhe patted his chest and said.
"It works." Pengfei also nodded.
Fan Jun was very happy and nodded heavily: "Thank you."
The children had their own topics to talk about, and the adults had their own topics to talk about. The meal was very enjoyable.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Fan Shilei and Jiang Manye sent Fan Jun back to school.
"Son, we will have a house to live in in a couple of days. You can stay in school for a few more days. We will pick you up when we have packed everything." Fan Shilei said to his son.
"Dad, I know. I'll come and help during the break." Fan Jun nodded sensibly.
The couple watched their child enter the school gate before going home together.
Jiang Manye shook Fan Shilei's sleeve and said:
"Shi Tou, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? I've never seen so many leaders in one room in my life. I can't even remember who they are, director, section chief, etc. I'm so afraid of calling them the wrong ones."
"Didn't I tell you the story of the dye vat? They are all the same kind of people. They naturally come together, help each other and grow together. If there was a bad one, it would definitely not be what we see."
Fan Shilei gently shook his wife's hand.
"Oh, I understand. Deputy Director Song, who is such a good person, didn't help Zhang A-mei. You can tell what kind of person she is! So what people outside say must be right." Jiang Manye nodded.
"Well, after we move there, we have to get along well with them."
"I will, don't worry. Sister Ling asked you to help, so do you want to help?" Jiang Manye suddenly remembered this.
Fan Shilei and Lin Wufeng got along the best. Both of them were technicians and had a lot in common. When Huang Ling saw them talking about machines, she came over to help boil water and make tea.
Lin Wufeng also understood Huang Ling, and his conversation with Fan Shilei became more and more in-depth, while Huang Ling listened quietly.
Huang Ling quickly confirmed Fan Shilei's ability and asked him to help with the translation of maintenance instructions for imported machines.
Fan Shilei was smart. The moment Huang Ling spoke, he understood why Huang Ling was making tea here. He also realized that Huang Ling was the brain of this group of people.
He answered very seriously, "I don't understand the manufacturing machinery for this type of electronic product line. I can only translate the original text to see if there is any difference between it and the one given by the other party. The final judgment will be handed over to Director Lin."
Huang Ling was just trying to test the waters, but she was very satisfied with Fan Shilei's attitude.
This attitude shows that Fan Shilei is not on guard against them, and secondly, it shows that he is a cautious and reliable person.
What Fan Shilei was more amazed at was not the power, wealth and intelligence of these people, but the tacit understanding between them.
Whether it was Song Ying, Lin Wufeng, or Li Yiming, Huang Ling was able to communicate with them at a glance. This was not a tacit understanding that could be achieved in a short period of time. They needed to get along for many years and trust each other extremely to have such a tacit understanding.
"Yes, I helped." Fan Shilei nodded, as if he had made some kind of decision.
When the two returned home, the room only had a small bed that could barely accommodate the couple and a table. If Fan Jun came back, he would have to open the folded camp bed at an angle to sleep on it, and it would be quite difficult to turn over.
The sound of a young couple arguing in workshop four next door came as if they were quarreling right in their ears.
The wife said, "You go and think of a solution! What should I do if I have a child? Should I hang the child on the wall or should I hang him on the wall?"
The husband said in a dull voice, "What can I do? I don't run the Housing Authority. I can't just give it to you if I say so! There are still many families with several children who haven't even been able to get in. We don't even have children yet, so there's no way we can get in!"
The wife kept nagging, "Look, it's the next person in line! What a difference! It's because he can speak foreign languages! In the past, he would have been criticized, but now, knowing foreign languages is so popular!"
"You're just trying to say I'm useless! I'm lucky to have a regular job! Now I can't even get a job in a factory! Otherwise, why don't you pick up a butcher knife and sell pork? I heard you can earn much more than us workers. If you can't get a house, you can always rent a small courtyard to live in!"
"Why don't you go and kill the pig? You want me to go?"
Jiang Man'e heard her name being called out for no apparent reason from the next room, so she punched the wall and said:
"A pigsty is quieter than your house. Pigs only grunt when they're hungry, but you grunt all day long!"
Fan Shilei frowned, pulled Jiang Manye's hand over, looked at it, and rubbed it.
Next door it became quiet.
The two of them tidied themselves up and lay side by side on the bed, Jiang Manye laughing under the quilt.
"What are you happy about?" Fan Shilei asked in a low voice.
"In three days, you'll have a study room. I've seen that house. The inner room is quite large. We can partition it off and make half a bedroom for Xiaojun and the other half a study for you. You can move all the books you have in your classmate's utility room over here. We'll build a big bookshelf. If it's not big enough, we can replace the chest of drawers with a bookshelf. No matter how many books you buy, there'll always be room for them..."
Jiang Manye was thinking about it, feeling very happy.
Fan Shilei groped under the quilt and tightly grasped her rough hand with countless cracks on it.
