Yu Linyun gave her a strange look, then arrogantly picked up the clothes and strode away.
In the afternoon, Liu Chunchen, the brigade leader's wife, came to Lao Yu's house and stuffed two meat patties full of meat filling into...
In Shen Qianqian's hands.
"Aunt Chunchen, is there something you need?"
Shen Qianqian was a little confused. Liu Chunchen couldn't have come over just to bring her two cakes.
Just as Liu Chunchen was about to explain, he saw Old Madam Fang sitting in the courtyard, glancing this way. He simply pulled Shen Qianqian aside.
"I heard about what happened at the big banyan tree today. You did a great job. These two cakes were specially sent over by your Uncle Lin for you to try. You know, being a cadre isn't easy, and your Uncle Lin couldn't help you much with the school matter. You had to fight for this middle school admission spot yourself."
“You’re close to my family, and you don’t have any shameful secrets. Let them gossip. Don’t get angry about this. When your Uncle Lin went to the commune for a meeting, he met Principal Song. Principal Song really likes you. He kept talking to your Uncle Lin and even asked us to take care of you when we have the chance, so that nothing else can affect your studies.”
Liu Chunchen's words were a bit disorganized, but the meaning was immediately clear to Shen Qianqian.
The captain cannot leave behind a reputation for prioritizing personal gain over public duty. If such a reputation remains, it will be difficult for Lin Dongsheng to manage the brigade in the future, and someone might use this incident to attack him.
He also said that her handling of the situation today was very good, which proved that she relied on herself and showed that the captain would not be unfair for personal gain. He also hinted that he would take good care of her in other ways in the future.
Shen Qianqian accepted Liu Chunchen's thanks with composure. She squeezed the meat pie in her hand tightly, her smile radiant.
rotten.
"It's nothing. The old ladies in the village don't really have any bad intentions. They're just too bored, so they get together to chat. But sometimes, as they talk, the meaning changes regardless of whether it's true or not, and that's not good."
"You and the brigade leader have been so good to me, and you even saved my life, so of course I have to think of you in return. That's why I rushed over and showed them the short essay Principal Song wrote for me and my test paper. After all, facts speak louder than words!"
Shen Qianqian thought to herself, "Of course I'm doing this for myself. These old folks today..."
My wife is spreading rumors that I got into school through connections. What will she be spreading rumors about me tomorrow?
If something like this happens once, it will happen again. It should be nipped in the bud as soon as it occurs.
Liu Chunchen nodded repeatedly; it was so easy talking to a smart person. And her voice was so pleasant—Chen Qianqian truly deserved to be the best in the whole county!
Grandma Fang sat on a small stool sewing torn clothes, while Grandpa Yu was splitting bamboo, their intentions unclear.
Shen Qianqian entered the courtyard carrying a meat pie, feeling two burning gazes fixed on the pie in her hand. Ignoring their stares, she picked up a pie, took a bite, and found it overflowing with meat.
The Lin family was genuinely grateful to her and gave her a meat pie with a lot of meat in it.
Grandma Fang swallowed hard, feeling a little annoyed. How could Shen Qianqian be so clueless?
Son, there are two elderly people at home, and you don't even ask about their food. You're so unfilial.
The Lin family is really something, why do they keep coming over here? They brought the cakes, they should just give them back.
It's disrespectful to give this to the master of the house and hand it over to a junior member of the family; it shows a complete lack of manners.
"Qianqian, is the pancake delicious?"
Shen Qianqian nodded, too busy to speak, and took a big bite, leaving only a little bit of the first pancake.
Grandma Fang got anxious. The pancakes were almost all gone, and without hiding her thoughts, she quickly stood up to get more.
“These two cakes are so big, you can just eat one, but you can share the other with us as a way to show your respect to your grandparents.”
Shen Qianqian swallowed the last bite and said, "Grandma, you're really shameless."
Then he hid to the side, took a big bite of the second biscuit, and slowly went back to his room.
Grandma Fang was so angry that she stomped her feet behind her, cursing heaven and earth, but dared not curse anyone.
The next day, several meat pies appeared on the table, and Shen Qianqian also had one, bigger than the palm of her hand.
Small.
Grandma Fang said coldly, "There's only so little flour left. We can't make much. Your eldest uncle and aunt are going to work at the factory, and your second uncle and aunt are going to work in the fields. You three children are just reading books and doing nothing. Eat less."
Shen Qianqian didn't say anything but took a bite of the meat pie. It tasted pretty bad, so she gave up her urge to cause trouble.
I went back to my room and dug out the chocolates that had been sent from Hong Kong Island. The chocolates came in red boxes with the foreign name FERRERO written on them. It's a pretty famous chocolate and candy brand that originated in Italy and was founded several decades ago.
Even in the capital city today, you might not be able to buy this kind of candy even with sugar coupons, yet Ruan Yuan sent her three boxes in a row. Why would she send such candy to her thirteenth daughter, whom she had never met, without ever sending a letter back?
Shen Qianqian took out a chocolate, put it in her mouth and bit into it. The thin chocolate shell was broken, and the taste of alcohol instantly filled her mouth. Hmm, it's still a chocolate with alcohol filling.
It's actually quite easy to understand.
There are two reasons: first, Ruan Yuan's behavior is restricted and she cannot write; second, Ruan Yuan is not close to her daughter and is unwilling to write, so she sends her daughter a few boxes of chocolates that seem precious but can be bought with money over there.
The original owner's memories of Ruan Yuan were so distant that only a few blurry images remained in her mind, making it difficult for Shen Qianqian to judge the mother-daughter relationship between the two.
The method that worked quite well for Shen Jia was not very useful for Ruan Yuan. The fifty-dollar remittance slip seemed to be more than Shen Jia's thirty dollars, but this had to be analyzed in terms of their respective wealth.
Ruan Yuan's family must not be an ordinary wealthy family.
Perhaps it's a wealthy family?
At that time, the wealthy families of Hong Kong Island were no ordinary people.
Wait a minute, there were still quite a few ways to make money in Hong Kong at that time.
Shen Miaomiao successfully deviated from the expected topic.
Putting everything else aside, in a few years the film industry will also develop, and many movie stars will become famous all over the country.
Shen Qianqian decisively incorporated the entertainment industry into her business empire.
1982 and 1984 were pivotal years for Hong Kong Island, holding significant importance for China. She wanted to wait and focus on completing her university entrance exams first.
I'm going to visit the capital during summer vacation. I'll also check out my dream university while I'm there, hehe.
Where are they?
"I'm starving."
Shen Qianqian ate five chocolate-filled liqueurs in a row. Her head was hot but she was unusually energetic. Hearing the sound, she opened the door and went out.
She heard Yu Linsen's voice.
Good heavens, he's finally back! It's been more than ten days since she was supposed to get the car, and it's already May! Damn it, when has she ever been so inefficient!
Shen Qianqian looked around the yard but didn't see Yu Linsen's bicycle that had returned. She then pushed open the door to Old Lady Fang's room and, sure enough, saw that good-for-nothing sneaking around in a corner looking for something.
"Yu Linsen, where did you put my car?"
