Liao Shizhang watched him leave, sighed, and stopped caring about it.
On the other side, Xu Xiangyang was also somewhat surprised to see that person being transferred.
He was Liao Shizhang's secretary, and after what had just happened, how could he not know what was going on?
Others wanted to ask, but Secretary Wang wouldn't say anything, so no one could do anything about it.
After they saw that the person had left, everyone started making guesses.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care; he had other things to do right now.
After get off work, he went to the small house first, where Qian Wenqing had already brought all his luggage.
Looking at the new stove and cookware, are they planning to stay for a long time?
"Are you planning to start cooking here?" Xu Xiangyang pointed to the cookware.
Qian Wenqing immediately nodded, "Then I can't eat at your house three times a day, can I? It's so far away, the cost of the round trip is enough for one meal."
He had initially planned to eat there, but it was just too far.
Xu Xiangyang thought that made sense, but since the kid would be doing favors for him in the future, he couldn't let him pay for his meals.
He said, "I'll bring some grain or something in a bit, so you don't need to buy any."
Qian Wenqing nodded quickly, "Great! That's perfect, I just happen to not have any food coupons to buy grain."
His food was at home and he couldn't get it back. He was thinking of buying some on the black market, but now he doesn't need to anymore because someone is helping him.
Seeing his expression, Xu Xiangyang said, "I don't know your family situation yet, brother. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Now, follow me, and I guarantee you won't regret it."
Kids have it tough too. Although they can be annoying sometimes, they're not bad people and are good comrades.
Upon hearing his words, Qian Wenqing turned his head away, and when he turned back, he was clearly envious.
Xu Xiangyang was taken aback. "Huh? What are you doing?"
Isn't it obvious that he's wronged? But it's his family matter, and if he doesn't talk about it, I can't keep asking.
Qian Wenqing felt quite wronged, so he said, "Brother Xu, you are the best person to me. You don't mind me when I come to your house for a meal, and you even cook meat dishes for me."
Xu Xiangyang: It's a misunderstanding! He's just annoyed! The meat and vegetables are just something we usually eat at home.
But look at this child again...
Sigh, let's not talk about it.
“My family consists of my biological father and stepmother. They have a biological son, so I’m a bit awkward, you know?” Qian Wenqing said with a forlorn expression.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, indicating that he understood. He went over and patted the child on the shoulder, saying, "You've had a hard time, brother."
Since ancient times, it has been the case that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. If the father is a bit domineering, it's okay, but there's nothing anyone can do about it.
In the end, it's always the children who suffer.
Qian Wenqing burst into tears when he saw that he understood him.
He cried and said, "That damned dad of mine! He just watches my stepmother bully me!"
Then, he wiped away a tear of bitterness!
Xu Xiangyang: ...
The atmosphere was nice, shouldn't he be smiling?
Seeing how pitiful the child is, I'll just have to bear with it.
He sighed. "Alright, stop crying. You're a grown man now. Once you get married, it'll be a different family. Why worry so much?"
That's absolutely true. After all, they started a family later in life, so how could they possibly care about their children from their previous marriage?
Of course, not all families are like this.
That's just the current situation.
Upon hearing the word "marry," Qian Wenqing stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and said, "Brother Xu, Lu Guiying doesn't want to date me, so how can I get married?"
He does want to get married, but his crush isn't interested, and there's nothing he can do about it.
If Lu Guiying is willing to marry him, she can rent a place to live on her own! She can earn some money a month to support her family, and just thinking about it makes her happy.
Seeing how quickly his expression changed, Xu Xiangyang really didn't know what to say to him.
Is he dim-witted? Or just carefree?
"If she's not happy, why don't you find someone else? There are so many women out there, why does she have to be the one? If she doesn't agree, are you going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes after saying that, and then turned to leave.
"Hey, Brother Xu, where are you going?" Qian Wenqing called out to him as he was about to leave.
"Go get the grain. You wait here." With that, Xu Xiangyang left without looking back.
Actually, he would have preferred Qian Wenqing to be a laborer, but seeing how silly and pitiful the boy was, he didn't call him.
After going outside, Xu Xiangyang wandered around for a bit. There weren't many houses around, so it was quite quiet.
At that time, with the public-private partnership, everyone should have lived together. However, the new city had many houses, unlike large cities like Beiping.
So everyone still lives separately here, and there are still many empty houses. They are not allowed to be sold openly, but they can be transferred to relatives.
All three of his houses were transferred from other places. It was a bit troublesome, but he had no worries about the future.
About half an hour later, Xu Xiangyang pushed a cart full of things back to the door, then opened the door and pushed it inside.
As soon as the door opened, Qian Wenqing rushed over to help. These were all things prepared for him, so how could he not be diligent?
"What are all these things? They're so heavy!" He was quite surprised when he got his hands on them and realized how heavy they were.
How could a bag of grain and some vegetables be so heavy?
Xu Xiangyang started pushing the cart from the doorway, so he wasn't tired at all. He sat down in a chair and said, "This is 100 jin of cornmeal, 20 jin of rice, and 20 jin of flour. That should be enough for you to eat for a while."
There were also a few pieces of cured meat, some cabbage and potatoes, all common green vegetables.
Although there weren't many dishes, it was enough for him as a single person.
Qian Wenqing hadn't expected there to be so much grain, and good heavens, there were even ten catties of lard!
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the lard; it was the lard Wang Xiumin had stored at home. He didn't want to eat it, so he hid it.
It was just right to give it to Qian Wenqing so he could eat it.
"With so much oil, it'll taste delicious even without meat!" He happily packed everything into the kitchen.
Seeing that he was happy, Xu Xiangyang said, "Okay, you can stay here. If you need anything, come to my house to find me."
He glanced at the time; it was getting late, time to go home.
Qian Wenqing immediately said, "Brother Xu, I've already taken care of the matter you asked me to find someone for you. Just come over after get off work tomorrow."
I was so preoccupied with feeling wronged that I forgot all about the important things.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Understood."
Although I don't know who he's talking to, I should still meet with the people I need to meet.
I will need manpower when I start my own business in the future, not just now.
If used properly, these people can use it indefinitely.
He returned home, ate dinner first, and then, precisely at 7 p.m., entered the space.
Judging by the time, he hasn't come here for a long time.
Spring is almost here, and the ground should generally be covered in ice, but the streets are quite clean.
The sanitation is getting better and better now; you can hardly see any trash, and there's no ice or snow on the roads.
