Chapter 67 Why don’t you try it with Director Lu
After Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she ran away, and Jiang Haitang couldn't stop her even when she called out to her.
Jiang Haitang could only ask Kang Xiaoxia for help.
"Xiao Xia, go back tonight and tell Aunt Zhao that I don't want to do this."
Kang Xiaoxia thought this was a good thing.
"Haitang, people have to move on. Li Shengli and Liang Suya are already married."
Kang Xiaoxia just thought that Jiang Haitang still couldn't let go of Li Shengli.
"Their affairs have nothing to do with me. As long as they don't dance in front of me in the future, I won't even give them a second glance."
This was the truth, she had thought about revenge.
But she felt that it was not worth it to destroy her hard-earned new life just for revenge.
"Then why don't you want to find a partner?" Kang Xiaoxia asked.
"I don't want to look for one for now. I'll wait until my job is stable."
Looking for a partner right after you start working will definitely delay your work.
I have a chance to live my life over again, with so many advanced technologies in my mind. I must make some contribution to the country and cannot live in a muddle all my life.
"That's right, you will definitely have great development in the future. When you become stronger, you will have more choices in finding a partner." Kang Xiaoxia sounded a little depressed when talking about this.
"Xiaoxia, are you in a bad mood?" Jiang Haitang sensed Kang Xiaoxia's unhappiness.
"I'm only seventeen years old, and my mother is already thinking about marrying me off."
"Seventeen years old, not even the legal age to get married."
Jiang Haitang was quite surprised. Is it like this in the city?
“There are also many people who get married first without getting a marriage certificate.”
Kang Xiaoxia's family was somewhat patriarchal. As a daughter, although she did not suffer from hunger or cold, her life was not very comfortable.
It was okay before, but now that her brother Kang Dachun is getting married, her parents' attitude is very clear.
Her mother kept complaining about the housing shortage at home and how she couldn't even move her feet after the new bride came home.
He also said that it would be even more crowded with grandchildren.
She pretended not to understand, and her mother started asking people to introduce her to someone.
She wanted to move out, but she didn't meet the requirements for applying for a dormitory, so there was really nothing she could do.
"Xiao Xia, you are still young and have a lot of room for development in the future. You can't get married now."
The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years, and Kang Xiaoxia will be of the right age to go to college.
But if I get married and have a family, I definitely won’t be able to take the college entrance examination.
"I definitely won't listen to my mom."
"Then you should work hard and try to get a dormitory, then you can move out."
"I can't believe I can get into the factory office this time. I'm still studying with you and listening to what you say. Otherwise, I will get zero on the last two questions."
Kang Xiaoxia immediately shook her head. She had a very clear understanding of herself.
"We can still study together in the future. It won't hurt to read more books in your free time."
"I'll listen to you."
I used to think that studying was of no use, but now that I work in a factory office, I realize that my knowledge reserves are too limited.
When Jiang Haitang mentioned that she needed to go to the cafeteria to borrow bowls, chopsticks and plates, Kang Xiaoxia immediately said that she could go.
Not long after, Kang Xiaoxia came back carrying a big basket.
"Oh, it's really heavy." She put down the big basket and gasped.
Jiang Haitang hurriedly brought her some water: "Why is there so much?"
Kang Xiaoxia gulped down several gulps of water, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then spoke.
"Uncle Zhang said that Director Lu arranged this, and that it would take so many people. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone alone. I would have definitely brought a strong man like you along."
"You've worked hard. I'll give you some meat to eat separately later."
"I'm back, Haitang."
Hearing Lu Liangchen's voice, Kang Xiaoxia felt a little scared.
"Director Lu is back, why don't I leave first."
Jiang Haitang grabbed Kang Xiaoxia, who was about to run away, and said, "Why are you running? Aren't you here to help me?"
"But Director Lu's cold look really scares me."
Kang Xiaoxia felt a little down when she thought about having to spend the whole afternoon with Lu Liangchen.
"Haitang, come over to my side. Your place is too small."
Hearing that Lu Liangchen was not coming in, Kang Xiaoxia instantly revived. She patted her chest exaggeratedly and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Let's go, let's go together."
Jiang Haitang's words instantly silenced Kang Xiaoxia again.
"Director Lu is quite nice. You'll know once you get to know him more. Besides, you're in the factory office. You can't just run away every time you see Director Lu, right?"
The two of them took Xiao Taozi to Lu Liangchen's house. Lu Liangchen bought a lot of vegetables and filled a whole basket.
"I bought everything according to your request. I happened to come across a fishmonger and bought a few. The chicken is still alive. I'll go to the backyard and kill and pluck it later. You can take care of the other things first."
Lu Liangchen took out the ingredients from the basket one by one, chattering away.
Kang Xiaoxia looked at Lu Liangchen suspiciously, then at Jiang Haitang.
The meaning is clear, this Director Lu is fake, right?
"I said Director Lu is a nice person. Look, he's quite easy-going." Jiang Haitang said in a low voice.
"Director Lu, we have two tables today. Can we serve eight dishes to each table?"
While Lu Liangchen was busy moving things, he said, "It's up to you. You have the final say today."
Kang Xiaoxia became suspicious again and saw the fake Director Lu.
Only then did Lu Liangchen see Kang Xiaoxia. He greeted her, and his voice was not as cold as before, but sounded more lively.
This made Kang Xiaoxia flattered.
Lu Liangchen was carrying a chicken and walking towards the backyard. Behind him was Little Taozi, who was running with her short legs and holding a small bowl, and talking in a baby voice.
"Is Director Lu ever so down-to-earth?" Kang Xiaoxia nudged Jiang Haitang. "You know what? He actually acts like a good husband."
Men who can take the initiative to do work are good. Many men don’t even help when the soy sauce bottle falls over at home.
"How about you and Director Lu give it a try?"
"Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late. Let's get to work."
Jiang Haitang immediately changed the subject, saying that Lu Liangchen was a good man and she was not worthy of him.
The two of them soaked the pig's trotters in water, and Liu Hongmei also came over.
"I'm here to help too." Liu Hongmei smiled and rolled up her sleeves to pick vegetables.
"Director Liu, I'm so sorry to ask you for help."
"We're all neighbors, so you're welcome. If I need help someday, won't I need your help?"
All three of them are efficient at work and can get things done quickly.
But the stove at home is so small that it’s a bit too big to take care of it all.
Finally, Liu Hongmei and Jiang Haitang's pots and stoves were moved over, and only then was there enough.
There were about twenty people coming today. Jiang Haitang prepared two tables, each with ten dishes, including cold and hot dishes, meat and vegetables.
The meat dishes include boiled chicken, pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, braised pork and a boiled fish.
The vegetarian dishes include cold cucumber salad, cold tomato salad, hot and sour shredded potato, stewed tofu, stir-fried beans and pickled cabbage.
Such a banquet is more decent than the one many families use to celebrate a bride's wedding.
