Chapter 160 First Arrival in Xishi
"Sister-in-law! Here!" Cui Xue heard a familiar voice as soon as she got out of the airport. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Shao Yang.
Looking at Xu and Xiao Ruoyun, she walked towards him. Liang Zongshan had received the transfer order earlier and came to Xishi first. Because she couldn't arrange the company's affairs in Zhouzhou for a while, she came to Xishi a month later than Xu and Xiao Ruoyun.
"Deputy Commander Liang is busy with exercises these days and has no time to pick you up, so I volunteered to come." Shao Yang took the things from them one by one and explained with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work." Cui Xue glanced at the gray military jeep not far away and thought that she had to buy a car.
The car in Zhouzhou was originally under the name of the Dai family. Although it was said to be given to her, she didn't want it, so she left it in Zhouzhou.
Now that we are in Xishi, we have to buy a vehicle for travel. We
took the jeep all the way to the Xishi Military Compound. Unlike the prefecture-level cities, the conditions here are much more difficult, with rows of small adobe houses that look quite old.
But the good thing is that each family has a small yard and a private bathroom.
There are not many relatives accompanying the army in the compound. There are about twenty houses in a yard, but only about ten households live there.
Thanks to Liang Zongshan, the house we were assigned is not small, but it has been uninhabited for a long time, so even after cleaning, it is still a bit dirty.
"The conditions are difficult, please forgive me, sister-in-law." Shao Yang had seen how well Cui Xue and the others lived in the prefecture-level cities, and when he moved to his own territory, he felt that it was not good enough in comparison.
"What are you talking about? It's not your fault that the conditions are tough. Your parents have worked so hard to bring Zongshan and me here, isn't it just to help you?"
"Sister-in-law, have you guessed it?" Shao Yang smiled embarrassedly.
"My parents said they would invite you to their home for dinner tonight, at the house in front, as a welcome party." He also took the opportunity to tell him the task his mother had given him in the morning.
"Okay, then we'll go over after we've packed up tonight." Cui Xue thought about it and agreed.
Not to mention how much effort Shao Yang's father had put in behind the scenes, just arriving at someone else's place, you have to say hello.
Liang Zongshan came back after cleaning up most of the house, his body was covered with dust and sweat. Cui Xue found him some casual clothes and asked him to wash up before going to Shao Yang's house together.
The yard of Shao Yang's family is not much different from theirs, but the traces of life are obvious, and it must have been lived in for many years.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a little old lady. Liang Zongshan greeted her and found out that she was Shao Yang's grandmother.
Cui Xue couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why is the mother-in-law living in the son-in-law's house, but she couldn't ask about this in front of other people, so she suppressed it in her heart.
The old lady's surname is He. She was very happy to see Liang Zongshan. After listening to him introduce Cui Xue, Xu and Xiao Ruoyun, she was even happier.
Especially when she saw Xiao Ruoyun, the love in her eyes was about to overflow.
When she was young, Mrs. He must have been a great beauty, and her family background was not bad. When she was old, even if she was dressed simply and stood in an ordinary yard, her demeanor was not something that ordinary people could have.
So Xiao Ruoyun liked her very much and became familiar with her in less than two minutes.
Hearing the noise outside, Shao Yang poked his head out of the house, and couldn't help laughing when he saw how close Xiao Ruoyun was to Old Lady He.
"Grandma, where did you get this little great-granddaughter?"
"I told you to get married early and have a baby, and I asked you to take care of it, but you refused. So I had to find someone else to take care of it." Old Lady He gave him a complaining look.
Good guy, you're urging me to get married.
Cui Xue glanced at Shao Yang. The boy was not very old, but he was already being urged to get married in his early twenties. It was true that people these days wanted to get married early.
"Grandma! Please give me some face. You already have a little baby, so please let me go." Shao Yang acted like a joke and begged for mercy from her.
"You kid, when it comes to marriage, you always complain." Before Mrs. He could say anything, a woman suddenly stood behind Shao Yang and slapped him on the head.
"Ouch, Mom, your hand is too strong. You slapped me so hard that I can't find a daughter-in-law."
Shao Yang covered his head and ran to the yard. The woman behind him was exposed in front of everyone. She
had a neat short hair and wore a neat black suit. She looked very serious.
While Cui Xue was looking at her, she also looked at Cui Xue. When
their eyes met, Cui Xue knew that Shao Yang's mother was not simple.
After a round of greetings, when they entered the house and sat down, Shao Yang's father came in from outside.
Shao Yang's father, contrary to Cui Xue's expectation, was a gentle middle-aged man, which was quite different from the tough image of a typical soldier.
But despite his gentle appearance, his position was indeed not low, two levels higher than Liang Zongshan, and he was considered one of the high-ranking officials in the entire West City.
Fortunately, Cui Xue had already inquired about Shao Yang's family situation, and the gift she prepared was not expensive, but very thoughtful.
The Shao family was very happy and accepted it without any refusal.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much, and the atmosphere in the Shao family was very good, and everyone was quite easy-going.
It was also during this meal that Cui Xue learned that Shao Yang's mother worked in the municipal government and held a high position. She couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in her heart.
She tilted her head to glance at Liang Zongshan. She used to think that he was not very ambitious, but in the past two years, he was lucky to have such a big and thick leg.
It can be said that they have maintained a good relationship with the Shao family in Xishi. Although they can't walk sideways, they can live more freely than in Zhouzhou.
"I heard that Xiaoliang's wife is an entrepreneur and has several companies in Zhouzhou. I wonder if he can achieve anything in Xishi?"
During the dinner, Shao Yang's mother Shui Danhua suddenly poked Cui Xue and mentioned something about her company.
Cui Xue thought to herself, as expected, Shao Yang's parents have investigated them, otherwise they would not talk about the company directly.
But what surprised her was that Shui Danhua didn't hide this at all, and said it directly, which was really unexpected.
"I have some ideas, but I haven't planned them yet. I'll make arrangements after I settle down." Cui Xue responded vaguely.
Seeing how concerned she is, could she help with the logistics?
Cui Xue had this thought in her mind for a moment, but she thought to herself that it was not appropriate to talk about anything too deep when they met for the first time.
"West City is different from the prefectures and cities. The economic conditions are worse. If you need any help or cooperation, just go to the government to seek help. The government of West City will definitely support you."
After knowing Cui Xue's idea, Shui Danhua didn't say anything more. She was just testing Cui Xue's attitude today. The details still need to be discussed in detail.
Moreover, she has hinted so clearly that it can be said that it is explicit. I believe Cui Xue can understand it. Then the topic turned to other places.
