Chapter 38 Confirmation
No matter how harsh his words were, Zhang Ze was actually worried in his heart that his brother would be ostracized over there because of his upright character. Fortunately, he was at the bottom of the society, and the work that the eight members of the commune needed to do was his strong point.
As long as we work hard and do a good job, we will get the support of the production team members. My brothers know this and there is absolutely no problem with this.
Here, Zhang Ze was busy with his work while explaining to Mao Qianjin in detail what to pay attention to.
A few blocks away from them in the City Z compound, the Luo couple had already prepared a large table of dishes.
Braised fish, stir-fried shredded vegetables, pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, vegetable and tofu soup, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It has good color, aroma and taste, and when paired with pure rice, it makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
Sitting around the dining table, the Luo couple warmly invited the two girls to eat, especially Suning, as they were afraid that she would be too polite and restrained and not eat well or not have enough.
"Where is Xiao Ning from?"
"I'm from Beijing."
"So you came to Shonan to study?"
Smiling and shaking her head, Su Ning swallowed the food in her mouth and was about to answer, but Luo Shuangshuang beside her had already said it all for her.
When the couple heard that she did not choose to continue to go to college, but came to live in her grandfather's hometown, and had already secured a job and was waiting to start work on Monday, they both felt regretful for being a few steps late.
It is unlikely that the two daughters will have the best of both worlds, working together and taking care of each other while repaying their gratitude.
Luo Fusen smiled and patted the hands of his daughter on his left, who was waving her hands. "Xiao Ning, if you encounter any difficulties in Gu City in the future, remember to come to us. Although Uncle Luo cannot guarantee that he can solve all problems for you, he will never let you be bullied!"
This undoubtedly gave her a heavyweight promise, and everyone present could understand the meaning behind the words.
Someone touched her foot under the table. Su Ning looked at the face that was winking at her, indicating that he was saying something. She put down her chopsticks and smiled.
"I really need Uncle Luo's help with something."
"oh?"
Luo Fusen and his wife looked at each other, and a dark color appeared in his eyes. "Xiao Ning, tell me, what's the matter?"
But after hearing what she said, the two of them looked a little surprised and at a loss whether to laugh or cry: This girl is using the promise of the city's top leader, their Luo family, to do such a small thing?
Be polite and know the taste of things, be calm and know when to advance and retreat.
After the meal, the couple had a better impression of her and began to treat her like their own junior.
…
Nanmen 1st Street, Su Family Compound.
Zhang Ze and his partner were sweating profusely and simply took off their shirts. They worked shirtless and finally finished cleaning up all the places in the compound.
When the time comes, I will bring my family over and then buy some furniture and daily necessities.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao!"
"Hey, Ningning is here? We are in the yard..."
Standing happily in the front yard inspecting the fruits of his labor, Zhang Ze heard a sudden call from the door and kicked out without thinking, interrupting the silly man's reply.
"clothing!"
"Ohhh, yes, quick!"
Mao Qianjin was kicked right in the face. Before he could ask any questions, he heard his reminder. Then he remembered that both of them were naked and shirtless.
Fortunately, the sweatshirt was easy to put on and I put it on quickly, just before she stepped in.
I don't know if they were so nervous about this that their hearts were beating wildly. Su Ning walked into the yard leisurely with two large lunch boxes in his arms.
"Is everything ready?"
I looked around and found that the roof had collapsed in several places and the tiles were cracked last time, so they had all been replaced. A new layer of putty was applied inside and outside the house. Not only had the weeds in the yard been removed, but the yard had also been filled in and a small gravel path had been laid.
This speed is awesome!
I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to express my praise, "You must be exhausted, I brought food, you two brothers, eat it while it's hot!"
"Hehehe, Ningning is so thoughtful. I'm just hungry!"
"Is there any meal you don't feel hungry for?"
Zhang Ze took the lunch box from her hand after scolding her with a smile. After he touched it, he noticed its weight and raised his eyebrows. "It seems that Ningning brought a lot of delicious food~"
"Of course. If you do heavy work, you have to eat well. Ningning is worried about us!"
The two of them didn't care about anything and while chatting and laughing, each of them picked up a lunch box and squatted on the ground, unable to wait to open it.
The bowl is filled with braised pork, and the plump white rice wrapped in the delicious soup exudes an attractive luster, which makes people drool just by looking at it.
"The state-owned restaurant is serving braised pork today? Ningning is so lucky!"
"Mmmmm, it smells so good! So delicious!"
Suning, who was standing aside, smiled but said nothing, thinking secretly in his heart: How should I start talking about what happened in the afternoon?
I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just felt that I couldn't let that kidnapper take Luo Shuangshuang away. I really didn't consider any danger.
It's true that this is a good thing, but if it gets to Grandpa Fu's ears, the old man will probably scold her again.
As expected, after hearing the whole story, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin both said with serious faces that they should not have been left alone. As for not telling Mr. Fu about this matter, they chose to avoid talking about it.
It's hard for the two brothers to say anything, so why not find someone with weight to chant the tight spell for people?
"Well, since Brother Zhang has finished his work, you and Brother Mao can start to return to Beijing."
"Okay, let me discuss with Qianjin and see who will go back first to pick up the family."
"Since Shu Li said that he has caught the accomplice, then there is no need to worry about retaliation. Besides, I will also start working in the factory the day after tomorrow. My opinion is that it is better for the two of you to stay together so that you can have companionship and take care of each other and the two families."
After thinking about it, Su Ning still suggested this. When Zhang Ze and the others wanted to say something, he waved his hand and continued, "You two also need to settle your work as soon as possible."
All the arrangements have been made, the only thing left is the work indicator matching certificate which should be on the way from the old man by mail.
Although this type of cross-regional appointment has a more relaxed time limit, you still have to seize the opportunity. Of course, you have to deal with your family affairs first and start work as soon as possible.
This being the case, Zhang Ze and his partner could only nod and agree. They immediately decided to go early and come back early, and set off immediately after helping her move into the new house.
If we go fast enough, we can catch the last bus to Star City.
All three are people who act quickly when they say they will do something. Once they have made a decision, they will act quickly.
After checking out, all the luggage from the guesthouse was moved into the small courtyard where Suning lived.
He helped her replace the new lock and repeatedly reminded her of the safety issues that needed to be paid attention to. Only then did Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin hurried to the station with their hearts in their throats.
…
After watching them walk away and no longer seeing their backs, Suning turned around and closed the door.
The gray sky made the yard seem even more lonely and dark.
She fumbled for the rope that switched the light on under the eaves of the yard, and the dim light immediately dispelled some of the fear in her heart.
"You need to start getting used to living alone."
Pinching his face, Suning perked up and began to carefully inspect his new home.
In the middle is the living room, connected to the left and right are the two main rooms, which are also about 20 to 30 square meters in size, a standard room type.
The room was already furnished with simple furniture, and the bed, wardrobe and table had all been wiped clean.
He opened the luggage he had brought from Beijing to conceal his whereabouts and put all the things back in place one by one.
She spread a four-piece set with plain small floral patterns on the bed in the bedroom. Thinking the bed board was too hard, she took out two cotton pads from the space and put them on it. She nodded with satisfaction only when it was soft enough.
Hang curtains and tablecloths in the same color, and finally place a few pots of small orchids with buds.
After carefully decorating all the rooms according to his own preferences, Suning did not feel tired at all. Instead, he became more and more excited as he worked.
It’s such a great feeling to build your own nest with your own hands and see that everything is just how you want it!
"Tomorrow, plant a few fruit trees in the yard, and a row of climbing trumpet creepers and climbing roses at the corners, and we'll be done."
I clapped my hands and closed the small wooden door of the cupboard. Thinking that there would be a whole wall of flowers in the yard soon, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise.
Looking around the kitchen that had just been cleaned up, the bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, cutlery, pots, spatulas, knives and kitchen utensils had all been placed in place. As for seasonings, grains and vegetables, appropriate amounts had been taken out and placed on the surface.
The only things missing were coal briquettes and firewood, nothing else was missing.
“That’s right!”
As if remembering his previous speculation about space, Suning quickly slipped into Taoyuan.
