After saying goodbye to Chen Lin, everyone got into the car. Sun Qi, who was sitting in the back seat, received the money handed to him and asked Jiang Shuya excitedly, "Sister-in-law, was that Yi Yun, the RH supervisor, just now?"
"It should be, I heard it was upgraded recently." Jiang Shuya looked at him with curiosity.
Sun Qi, unable to hide his admiration, continued to exclaim: "Rumor has it in the industry that the breakthrough in computer software R&D technology came from YiYun RH. It has already surpassed its peers by a big step. YiYun will soon be the top platform in the big data system, and the company's market value will also rise accordingly."
This top-notch team is currently attracting a lot of attention from headhunting firms, including our own company, which is racking its brains to recruit them with high salaries.
Jiang Shuya smiled and said: No wonder Yi Yun couldn't wait to promote Chen Lin two levels as soon as the research results were announced. It seems that he is the leader of the core technical personnel.
Seeing that Chen Lin still wanted to know something, she took the initiative to change the subject. She didn't want to reveal too much of Chen Lin's personal information, nor could she tell him directly that Chen Lin was the software development leader. Even if he wanted to know something, he shouldn't find out from her.
As expected, seeing Jiang Shuya's evasive response, Sun Qi stopped asking questions.
Tangtang seemed a bit carsick and slept the whole way. By the time they arrived home, it was already dark. Sun Qi paid the fare. Grandma Sun had told him beforehand to make sure to give Jiang Shuya his commission, so Sun Qi paid her 3100 yuan. She only accepted the round number 3000 yuan, telling him to come find her on Saturday because there would be more tourists on weekends and she couldn't manage alone. She then asked Sun Qi how he had helped Grandma Sun sell grapes before. Sun Qi scratched his head shyly, his face flushed: "Most of them were delivered to the Xiaguan fruit station, and some were also given to classmates' workplaces. The quantities weren't large, only a few dozen boxes each time. Since they were classmates, the prices were naturally not high."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuya understood. This scene was witnessed by her mother-in-law, who was standing at the door. She expressionlessly stepped forward, took Tangtang, and brought her inside. Sun Qi politely greeted her mother-in-law and walked into the house.
Upstairs, after putting Tangtang down, I saw my mother-in-law's still angry face and lost my appetite for dinner. I took a shower, closed the door, and was about to lie down when I heard a commotion downstairs. It was two women talking in moderate voices, and it sounded like my third aunt. She usually had a good relationship with my mother-in-law and visited her often. She was Huang Guohua's cousin-in-law from a branch of the Huang family and liked to call my mother-in-law by her maiden name. I vaguely heard her say, "Ah Xiang, you're out of grapes to sell, why don't you help me sell mine? We have so many... so many varieties!... I had no idea you didn't tell me. Do you even consider us family anymore?"
Most people in Xixia Village had heard about the new brides. The women who were on good terms with each other would gossip about each other's character. The mother-in-law would complain to Liu Yufen about all her dissatisfaction with Jiang Shuya. Over time, Third Aunt didn't have a good impression of Jiang Shuya. She would shake her hand and not let her call her name when she saw her, avoiding her like she was avoiding a plague god, as if she would be pricked by a hedgehog if she offended her.
Third Aunt's house is the first house at the intersection next to Zhang Xiaohui's house. Last time, the couple fought at the door, and Luo Dayou beat Zhang Xiaohui to death. At that time, she was hit by Luo Dayou with a stick because she tried to stop the fight. Third Uncle and Third Aunt came out and saw it, but they did not step forward to help. They stood under their own gatehouse with indifferent faces, as if they were strangers, and glanced at her twice.
Jiang Shuya couldn't forget that look from beginning to end. She sneered twice, "Hmph! Forget about it!" Sure enough, she soon heard footsteps and knocking on the door upstairs. Jiang Shuya closed her eyes, pretending not to hear and feigning sleep, unwilling to pay attention. Saturday came again the next day. For the past two days, she had mostly eaten breakfast at the ferry crossing breakfast shop. She didn't see her mother-in-law when she woke up early, so naturally no one was cooking breakfast.
Knowing that I would be busy at noon, I bought a few extra steamed buns to have for lunch or dinner. I'll just have something simple to eat then. My husband will be off work on the weekend, so I'll leave Tangtang with him.
I arrived at the square early in the morning to wait for the customers who had made reservations two days prior. This group of customers came as a company, and there were many people. The weather was hot, but fortunately everyone had taken precautions against the sun, carrying sun umbrellas, sun hats, and wearing sun-protective clothing. Because there were so many people, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle them all.
Jiang Shuya asked Sun Qi to lead a group of people to pick grapes first, while she led another group to Zhang Xiaohui's vineyard. At this time, the grapes did not need to be picked over, as most of them were already ripe. Everyone was just having fun and took a few photos in their excitement.
After setting up the grapes, I led them to Luo's local restaurant to sit down and enjoy the air conditioning. Sun Qi and her group also came over to join us, filling the entire courtyard of the Luo family. Fortunately, the courtyard had a roof and air conditioning, making it spacious and cool. When Luo's wife saw so many people come in, she immediately beamed with joy and set up tables and chairs, fetched water to make tea, and brought out snacks and fruits to entertain them.
I was so busy serving customers all afternoon that I didn't have a moment to eat the steamed buns at home, so I just picked a bunch of grapes from Zhang Xiaohui's vineyard to tide me over.
Sun Qi was very quick-witted. Following Jiang Shuya's group of customers, she skillfully introduced the local customs and culture of Jiangdao, as well as the origins of various grape varieties. These were all things that Jiang Shuya had done before, and since Sun Qi was from Jiangdao, she naturally knew them by heart.
On Sunday morning, Jiang Shuya was eating the leftover steamed buns from yesterday when Grandma Sun brought Sun Xiaoman over. Jiang Shuya went upstairs and brought down two Kinder Surprise eggs and a rainbow candy that she had bought a few days ago for him to play with. The boy's eyes widened when he saw the Kinder Surprise eggs, and he held them in his hands, reluctant to put them down. Grandma Sun smiled shyly.
Yesterday, the old man took care of Tangtang all day. As a heavy smoker, he had to abstain from smoking all day, and the craving was unbearable; it was like living hell.
Today, she refused to take the baby out of the house no matter what. She waved goodbye early in the morning, said she had something to do, and rode away from home without looking back. At this time, her mother-in-law was also nowhere to be found. So she put Tangtang in the stroller, took a few toys, and went to Zhang Xiaohui's house with Sun Xiaoman. Fortunately, her son was also at home. After discussing with Zhang Xiaohui, they decided that the two boys would take care of the baby for the time being, and the adults would take turns checking on the baby.
I wanted to send Tangtang to Dageng, but then I thought about how Grandpa had to take care of Grandma, and I couldn't bear to do it.
The sun was shining brightly again today. After finishing with two groups of customers, Jiang Shuya saw Wang Tingting waving at her. She had actually come. The sales manager of the mall seemed to be really curious about Jiang Island. Jiang Shuya asked Sun Qi to help greet her. At first, Wang Tingting blushed a little, but when she saw this handsome man, who was gentle, polite, and well-mannered, she was no longer reserved. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Jiang Shuya couldn't wait to run to Zhang Xiaohui's house. She was afraid that Tangtang would cry and that the two boys wouldn't be able to take care of her, after all, she was still a child.
When she saw Tangtang, she had already cried for a while. She picked her up, fed her milk, and then left her behind to go to the square. The day was spent in fear and anxiety. In the afternoon, Jiang Shuya made Sun Qi hold Sun Xiaoman's hand and keep him in her sight at all times, reminding him not to take Sun Xiaoman to the vineyard, as the well there was unsafe and children must stay away from it.
