Chapter 416 A Bitter Feeling
Zhao Hongying and Yang Xiue had no idea what was wrong with Song Lubai.
She doesn't usually get involved in matchmaking.
Song Lubai didn't really want to introduce Yu Qiaoqiao to a potential partner; she just wanted to remind Yang Xiue to keep a close eye on Feng Gang.
“I heard that your Feng Gang helped Yu Qiaoqiao get into the government office. She has no relatives or friends here, and she probably tries to make a good impression by cleaning in front of the leaders every day. She has it tough. Do you know any good young men and introduce them to her?”
Yang Xiu'e only just found out that Feng Gang had helped Yu Qiaoqiao get into the government office. "How did my husband Feng help her?"
Song Lubai then recounted what she had heard from Wei Yang.
"Sister Xiu'e, didn't you successfully match a couple before? Secretary Feng should have some talented and educated young men under his command. Why don't you and Lao Feng help her find some?"
People of Yang Xiu'e's age do love matchmaking. After listening to what Song Lubai said, she became interested, nodded and said, "Xiao Yu is good-looking and now works in a government office. There are many unmarried young people in the government office. I think it's a good match."
Yang Xiu'e hurriedly went home to cook with the keys in her hand. Zhao Hongying wanted to say something to Song Lubai, but seeing Wei Yang coming this way, she could only tactfully leave first.
As Wei Yang drew closer, Song Lubai saw in his eyes a plea for praise.
To be honest, Wei Yang handled this matter quite well today.
Yu Qiaoqiao was so frightened that she was sure she would never dare to go near that office again.
Wei Yang's words were a reminder to everyone. People might gossip about Yu Qiaoqiao behind her back, but there's no evidence, so it's just idle gossip.
Song Lu rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "We went a little overboard today. We should talk about the rest at another time."
Wei Yang thought to himself that if his wife had seen the way Yu Qiaoqiao and Feng Gang were joking around, she wouldn't have said that he had gone a bit too far.
He originally wanted to continue watching the drama involving Feng Gang and Yu Qiaoqiao, as their presence made it easier for him to observe them.
Although she felt a little disappointed, her daughter-in-law was right to remind her that the office is a place for work and the environment needs to be kept clean!
During lunch, Yang Xiue mentioned to Feng Gang that she wanted to introduce a potential partner to Yu Qiaoqiao.
Feng Gang felt a bit uncomfortable. He said with dissatisfaction, "What business is it of yours whether other people get married or not? You just love to play matchmaker all day long."
Yang Xiue said indignantly, "I've recommended several men to me over the years, and they're all doing quite well now. Xiao Yu is handsome, has a good job, and is hardworking. I need to find her a decent-looking young man. You know more people than I do, so why don't you look for one for me?"
Feng Gang put down his chopsticks and said, "You haven't even asked Xiao Yu what she thinks, and you're already making wild guesses. How can you do things like this?"
Yang Xiu'e was completely unaware of Feng Gang's strange behavior and was even enthusiastically trying to introduce Yu Qiaoqiao to potential partners.
Listening to Yang Xiue's incessant chatter, Feng Gang went back to his room, feeling frustrated and angry.
He and Yu Qiaoqiao only became acquainted around April or May of this year.
Wu Guozhi approached him, asking for his help in getting someone in. Yu Qiaoqiao started coming to the office to clean a month or so after she joined the organization.
At first, he didn't think much of it, but seeing Yu Qiaoqiao getting closer to Wei Yang every time, he started to have some ideas.
Song Lubai is a strong-willed person. If she finds out that Wei Yang is messing around outside, she definitely won't tolerate him! If it comes to light, Wei Yang's job as regimental commander will be over.
Wei Yang wasn't buying it, and the young and beautiful Yu Qiaoqiao often appeared in the office serving tea and water, which made Feng Gang start to have other ideas.
Before she even got a bite of the meat, her wife was already trying to set her up with someone!
His restless heart!
Feng Gang sat in the room smoking, feeling depressed. The smoke shrouded his unwilling and cloudy eyes.
Yang Xiue cleaned up the stove in the yard before going inside. Smelling the smoke, she opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Through the smoke, Feng Gang looked at Yang Xiue.
Although Yang Xiue is not fat, her body is loose and flabby because she has given birth and is getting older. Unlike Xiao Yu, who smiles like a flower, dresses neatly and smartly, and has a pleasant voice.
After a long pause, Feng Gang said in a hoarse voice, "Then next time you invite Xiao Yu over, ask her what she thinks first."
Yang Xiue said dismissively, "Why invite them to our home? We don't have anything good to offer them. Just ask them in the office. We women can find out easily in a casual conversation."
A puff of smoke got stuck in Feng Gang's throat, and he coughed up tears.
In the afternoon, Song Lubai inspected the workshop and returned to her office to find Yu Qiaoqiao talking to Yang Xiue.
Judging from that, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't object to Yang Xiu'e introducing her to potential partners.
Zhao Hongying interjected, "Have you thought this through? If you get married here, it won't be easy to leave later."
Yu Lin said, "There's nothing wrong with us here. Besides, the policy doesn't say when these educated youths can go back."
Yu Qiaoqiao also said, "We'll talk about the future later. If there's a suitable person, there's nothing wrong with settling down here."
I've been here for two years now, and there's absolutely no policy for me to go back. If I could find a minor leadership or staff position in the government office, that would be great!
Yang Xiu'e loved matchmaking, and she enthusiastically tried to find a partner for Yu Qiaoqiao.
After proposing four young men, Yu Qiaoqiao was not satisfied with any of them, and Yang Xiu'e was getting a little annoyed.
After the last batch of goods was delivered, the total revenue from September of last year to August of this year was also calculated.
After deducting costs, we made a total of over 1,670 yuan.
Although the earnings were not as high as those from the shoemaking class, they were still very impressive.
The combined annual revenue of the food workshop and the shoemaking class is over three thousand four hundred.
At the meeting, Song Lubai stood ramrod straight as she and Yang Xiue received praise from the leaders.
Back in the office, Yu Lin said, "Xiao Song, Comrade Xiu'e, we haven't been too busy lately. When I went to the division headquarters, they suggested that we go out for training. They could arrange for us to go to the enamel factory in Urumqi to learn. What do you two think?"
Song Lubai wanted to go, but her child was only six months old and needed to be breastfed every day, so she couldn't go at all.
Her frustration at wanting to go but not being able to was evident on her face.
Yu Lin smiled and said, "Comrade Song, don't worry. There will be plenty of learning opportunities like this in the future. Even if you can't go this time, I will try to get you a chance next time. If you don't go this time, you can stay here and guard our position and take care of the shoemaking class's affairs."
Yang Xiu'e hesitated and said, "If Xiao Song doesn't go, I'm not sure I'll dare to go out by myself."
Yu Lin said, "It's not just you, I'm going too. There are four spots in total. Comrade Hongying, two more of you can go, see who's available."
Listening to their discussion, Song Lubai felt distressed.
Everyone else who goes out to study will definitely make progress, but she's still stuck in the same place. She really feels bad about it!
