Lu Jiang looked at Qian Duoduo, who seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "The daughter of the brigade leader is very smart. I heard about it in the county town. She gets first place in the exams every year."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Not at all, it's just that I prefer studying."
Lu said with a smile, "It's a good thing that young people have ideas and drive!"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "We young people still have some shortcomings. We have plenty of drive but not enough for careful consideration. We still need a pillar of strength like the old Party Secretary!"
Lu Jiang laughed even louder after hearing Qian Duoduo's words. Qian Duoduo and Qian Mao really are siblings. Sometimes, they can just spout nice words and make people believe it's true. Look at how many wrinkles have deepened on the old Party Secretary's face.
Li Dafa, who was standing to the side, also opened his mouth in surprise. When Qian Mao was handpicked by Secretary Lu to be his secretary, he thought that it was because of the discovery that Qian Mao made while working in the county propaganda department that he was transferred.
But as soon as Qian Duoduo opened his mouth, he followed Secretary Lu's tone, not only being modest about himself but also praising the old Party Secretary. This action made him feel that the brigade leader was indeed worthy of being the brigade leader, and the children he had taught were all capable. Thinking of the chaos at his own home, he sighed and decided it was better not to mention it.
Qian Sheng smiled as he looked at Qian Duoduo. This Duoduo was kind to the old Party Secretary, so he had always treated the old couple with great respect. He had also told his family that without the old Party Secretary, he wouldn't be where he was today. Therefore, he was determined to take care of the old Party Secretary until his death.
However, the old Party Secretary felt that he was not too old to move, so he naturally did not want to trouble Qian Sheng.
Lu Jiang smiled and said, "Duo Duo, you were first in the whole school when you graduated from junior high school. Have you ever thought about continuing your studies?"
When the people nearby heard Lu Jiang's words, their eyes immediately lit up. Was he going to send Qian Duoduo to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? If so, when Jin Jinxiu returned, they could talk to her about her daughter's marriage prospects!
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My eldest brother and second brother both graduated from high school, so we still have some high school textbooks at home. There are also some educated youth in the village who graduated from high school, so I studied with them."
Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Good, very good!"
Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. It seemed that some of his ideas would be realized in the near future.
Lu looked at Qian Sheng and said, "Your daughter Duoduo is very good. You should let her continue her studies when you have the chance!"
Qian Sheng nodded with a smile: "Definitely, definitely!"
Lu Jiang left with Lu Yuan and Qian Mao, and Qian Duoduo was immediately surrounded by people. These people were all chattering, and Qian Duoduo was annoyed by the noise. Who were these people? They had been saying that studying was a waste of money, but now that they saw that Secretary Lu had praised them, they were praising them.
However, when she saw Zhang Chunbo striding over, she immediately asked, "Sister Chunmei, have you started making the tofu over there?"
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, the people around him immediately scattered and disappeared like birds and beasts.
Qian Duoduo quietly gave Zhang Chunmei a thumbs up. Zhang Chunmei smiled when she saw Qian Duoduo's little gesture: "The tofu has been pressed down, it will be ready in a little while."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "I'll go prepare the seasonings. Sister-in-law Guo Ni, come with me and give me a hand!"
Guo Ni nodded: "Okay."
Qian Duoduo led Guo Ni aside, opened all the things he had bought, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm giving you the recipe for this spiced tofu. I'll talk to Sister Chunmei and have you take charge of this part!"
Guo Ni patted Qian Duoduo with a smile, and seeing her stumble unprepared, she said happily, "No wonder Qian Xiang said that you are the sister he cherishes the most. Sister-in-law also said that we are destined to be together. When I stayed at your house, we shared a bed. Now you are taking such good care of your sister-in-law. Well, just let me know if you need anything in the future!"
Qian Duoduo laughed: "Sister-in-law, you're being a little too enthusiastic, I can't handle it!"
Guo Ni looked at Qian Duoduo and laughed out loud: "You've been training with me for so many years, and you're still so useless?"
Qian Duoduo said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, how can you compare your childhood kung fu skills with my half-baked skills? Don't you feel guilty?"
Guo Ni's snort was incredibly irritating: "What wrong have I done? Who can beat me?"
Qian Duoduo: "Poor Qian Xiang, he picked out such a tigress after all that searching!"
Guo Ni chuckled and headed straight for Qian Duoduo: "You brat, who are you talking about?"
Qian Duoduo ran ahead, then turned back to tease Guo Ni, giving her a "neel neel neel".
When Qian Xiang arrived, he saw this scene and thought to himself how good his wife and Duo Duo's relationship was. Duo Duo teased her like that, but she didn't get angry!
However, in the end, Qian Duoduo was still caught by Guo Ni, and the two of them went to the canteen at the very edge of the tofu shop where food was cooked.
The person cooking inside is Li Xiaohua.
By this time, Li Xiaohua's edges had been worn down by life, and the man she married had stopped trying to please her as he used to.
She was about the same age as Qian Yu, but she looked like an older woman. Otherwise, Accountant Li would have felt sorry for the young woman and wouldn't have given her such a job.
Now, seeing Qian Duoduo, full of youthful energy, walking in with Guo Ni, she felt not only bitterness but also resentment, hating her mother for having looked down on the Qian family for having many sons and being poor.
I hate myself for agreeing with my mother back then and not sticking to my own opinion!
I hate how bad men treat me these days, making me live like a bitter, resentful woman!
