Chapter 58

Because Lu Yu came back, I cooked three dishes, hot steamed buns, and porridge for lunch. After the rice was cooked, it was served on the table in the yard. While eating, Jiang Nian looked up at Lu Yu with a smile on his face: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

Lu Yu raised his eyes, glanced at the corners of Jiang Nian's curved lips, lowered his head and said: "Noodles with mixed sauce."

"Okay."

Lu Yu ate this meal absent-mindedly.

In the past month since he left, he has been thinking about this person in the family compound all the time.

He was afraid that Jiang Nian would go to the city and that she would encounter danger again.

After finishing her meal, Lu Yu and Jiang Nian put the dishes in the kitchen, and said to Jiang Nian, "I'll go to the team first."

Jiang Nian nodded, "Go ahead."

After Jiang Nian finished her work in the kitchen, she sat in the yard with her embroidery pattern, wondering when Captain Song and Lu Yu would be transferred? After this year's Dragon Boat Festival or after next year's Dragon Boat Festival?

But this year's Dragon Boat Festival has already passed, and there is still no movement from Captain Song.

Jiang Nian glanced at the embroidery that was almost finished. She still remembered that Ge Mei told her to go to the embroidery shop on July 20. Although Ge Mei did not say it clearly on the phone, she understood what Ge Mei meant. According to her, Director Peng should be a person who is picky and difficult to get along with. If Director Peng were to see the embroidery in advance, she would inevitably find fault with it, which would eventually lead to the embroidery being a mess.

The final result was not only that Jiang Nian ruined her own craftsmanship, but also that the boss of Gangcheng would lose trust in the state-owned embroidery shop.

Jiang Nian roughly guessed that Ge Mei should be leaving a way out for Sister Zhai and Sister Lu?

.The

lively and noisy atmosphere of the Tang family was mixed with the thoughts of the military wives who wanted to laugh at them. After Captain Lu's mother finished her meal, she took Lu Zhijun home first. When she left, she glanced at Chen Fang and shook her head. On the way, Lu Zhijun asked the old lady, "Grandma, why are you shaking your head?"

The old lady touched Lu Zhijun's head and said, "Grandma, I have something to say to you. You must remember it in your heart and don't forget it."

Lu Zhijun no longer had the naughty and annoying temper of last year. He listened carefully to the old lady's words, "What are you talking about?"

The old lady said, "We should talk about things in a reasonable way. You can't make blind guesses about facts that are true, otherwise it will cause trouble to many people."

Lu Zhijun thought of the time last year at the market when his mother and Aunt Kang were talking about Aunt Jiang wanting to marry Uncle Song. Aunt Jiang heard it and said a few words to his mother. He just listened at the time and thought that his mother also wanted to marry Uncle Song, so he kept it in mind. Later, when his mother stopped buying him delicious food, he told his father about it, saying that his mother was saving money to divorce his father and marry Uncle Song.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhijun said to the old lady embarrassedly: "Grandma, I miss my mother."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, patted Lu Zhijun's head: "Okay, don't miss him, grandma will make you some noodles tonight."

Lu Zhijun smiled and said: "Yeah!"

The Tang family was in a mess at the moment. Chen Fang and her mother-in-law were cleaning the yard, and several military wives were helping around. Today was Tang Ze's wedding, and the family made delicious food, and every plate was clean. Tang Ze had three days of wedding leave because of his marriage, and he didn't have to go to the group for these three days. He helped the family clean up together, and Sun Ying sat in the house, and no one disturbed her.

Chen Fang knew that her mother-in-law also blamed her, so she didn't say a word.

The mother-in-law said to Tang Ze, "Go back to your room and accompany the bride. You will still have troubles in the evening."

Every wedding requires a noisy bridal chamber. Tonight, when those people come back from the tour group, the Tang family will be busy again.

Tang Ze pushed the door open and walked into the room. He looked at Sun Ying sitting on the bed. She had a braid with two small velvet flowers tied on it. Her skin was white and smooth. There was a small mole under her right eye. Whether she lowered her eyes or raised them, she was charming and seductive, which made Tang Ze like her more and more.

He walked over and sat beside Sun Ying, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, and asked: "Are you full? If not, I will go to the kitchen to bring you some food."

Sun Ying smelled the faint smell of white wine on Tang Ze, turned her head to look at him, Tang Ze's facial features were strong, but she had never looked at him carefully. The first thing she saw was Tang Ze's military uniform, which was exactly the same as the military uniform on Lu Yu in her dream.

"I'm full."

Sun Ying raised her hand to cover Tang Ze's eyes, and then covered Tang Ze's nose and lips with her other hand. Her eyes fell on Tang Ze's military uniform, and her heart began to beat.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Ze took Sun Ying's hand and looked at her in confusion.

Sun Ying shook her head: "Nothing."

"Will they come again in the evening?"

she asked again.

In fact, she wanted to ask if Lu Yu would come in the evening, but she was afraid that asking directly would arouse Tang Ze's suspicion.

Tang Ze smiled and said, "They come to the bridal chamber to make trouble at night, but I can't stand it."

Sun Ying smiled, and this smile made the red mole under the end of her right eye look even more beautiful. Tang Ze was stunned, and the hand holding Sun Ying's shoulder gradually tightened, and he lowered his head to get closer to her. Sun Ying turned her head: "You smell of alcohol, so bad."

Tang Ze smiled and said, "Then I'll go wash up."

After saying that Getting up and walking out, Sun Ying turned to look out the window, her eyes once again falling on the two pairs of birdwatchers on the curtains. The embroidery of the birdwatchers was very beautiful and lifelike. She got up and sat at the end of the bed and lifted the curtains. Chen Fang came in from outside and saw Sun Ying staring at the birdwatchers on the curtains. She smiled and said, "Do they look good?"

Sun Ying nodded, "Yes, they look good."

Chen Fang said, "As long as you like it, it's fine . I specifically went to find Jiang Nianxiu. She is the only one in our family compound who can embroider. Now she is embroidering for a state-owned embroidery house. I bought her a lot of things to find her to embroider. "

Sun Ying's face changed, and her hands holding the curtains clenched tightly. The admiration in her eyes turned into disgust. Chen Fang took the dishes out of the room. When she left, she said to Sun Ying, "I'm going to be busy now. If you have anything to say, tell Tang Ze."

Sun Ying held the curtain tightly and replied "Okay" after a long time.

After Chen Fang left, Sun Ying tore the curtain hard. The originally smooth fabric was torn into wrinkles, and the two little pigeons were a little bit uncomfortable. But she was still angry and wanted to cut it with a pair of scissors!

She hated Jiang Nian, and she hated everything she had even more!

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Tang Ze went into the room and saw Sun Ying pulling the curtain tightly. The wrinkles on the curtain were so wrinkled that he couldn't tell what it was. He frowned, sat down next to her, held Sun Ying's hand and said, "Don't you like this curtain?"

Sun Ying's hands froze for a moment, hiding the disgust in her eyes, and she said softly and aggrievedly: "I'm afraid of geese, I like swans."

Tang Ze looked at the rubbed face of the geese with an embarrassed look on his face. This was the geese that his sister-in-law had worked so hard to embroider, and it was also kindly arranged for them by his sister-in-law. If the curtains were taken down, there would be noisy house.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook Sun Ying's hand and said, "Be patient. Sanduan doesn't have any extra yards now. When our yard is approved, we will move over. Put away the curtains and put them in the cupboard."

Sun Ying's hand that was holding the curtains loosened, "Okay."

The window was open, Tang Ze stood up and closed it, then sat next to Sun Ying again, holding her waist, looking at the red mole under the end of Sun Ying's right eye, lowering his head to look at her eyes. Sun Ying blinked, turned her head and covered Tang Ze's eyes. Tang Ze smiled: "What's wrong?"

Sun Ying looked at Tang Ze, whose nose and lips were only exposed, and then looked at his military green uniform, and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips. Tang Ze was shocked, and after reacting, he immediately became the host and hugged Sun Ying. He did not take off Sun Ying's hand covering his eyes, thinking that she was embarrassed. Jiang Nian has been embroidering since lunch

.

She put the embroidery in the cabinet after she finished the last part, and waited until the 20th to go to the state-owned embroidery shop in the city. Lu Yu said at noon that he wanted to eat mixed sauce noodles in the evening, but the seasonings at home were not complete, so Jiang Nian went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as she walked out of the troop, she saw Wu Youshan standing not far away.

Wu Youshan looked at the troop anxiously, because no one signed for him, he could not enter, and he did not dare to approach the troop, so he could only stand and watch from a distance. When he saw Jiang Nian coming out, his face was ugly for a moment, and then he walked over shamelessly: "Comrade, can you please ask Deputy Commander Lu to sign and take me in? I want to find Sun Ying."

Jiang Nian: ...

She refused: "No."

Then she left.

I felt funny in my heart. This man is a doctor, and he doesn't think before he speaks. If he lets Lu Yu sign and take him in, if he gets into trouble inside, Lu Yu will also be implicated.

Wu Youshan choked with anger, and rubbed his face irritably as he watched Jiang Nian walk away.

Jiang Nian went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seasonings. There was still a lot of meat sent by Chen Fang, and it was kept in ice with well water to prevent it from going bad. She returned to the army without seeing Wu Youshan again, so she should have left.

Back at the family compound, Jiang Nian cut the meat into cubes and picked two cucumbers from the vegetable garden. When it was dark, the meal was ready. The aroma of noodles with mixed sauce overflowed from the kitchen, and the two families next door could smell the fragrance.

The voice of Captain Song came from outside the door: "Lu Yu, your sister-in-law made something delicious, and I could smell it from a long distance away."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Noodles with mixed sauce."

He was familiar with the smell.

Captain Song smacked his lips and

said, "You are so lucky to have a sister-in-law who is so good at cooking. If anyone marries her in the future, he will have a golden nest for the rest of his life." Lu Yu said nothing. When he reached the door of his house, Captain Song waved and went back.

The lights were on in the yard. Jiang Nian brought the bowl to the small table in the yard. She was sweating from cooking this meal. A few strands of hair stuck to her fair neck. There were beads of sweat on her temples. It was a very hot day and the fire was burning in the kitchen. Jiang Nian felt like she was going through torture every time she cooked.

"Hey, Jiang Nian, what delicious food did you cook? The smell is all over my house."

Jiang Nian smiled and said to Feng Mei across the courtyard wall, "Noodles with mixed sauce."

The courtyard door opened and Lu Yu came back.

Jiang Nian pulled her apron and smiled, "The meal is ready."

She walked to the well and squatted down, poured some water into the enamel basin, washed her face, and finally felt a little cooler. She stood up and ran back to the house to wipe her face with the towel. Lu Yu watched Jiang Nian run back to the house briskly, retracted his gaze and walked to the well.

When Jiang Nian came out, she saw Lu Yu using the water she had just used to wash her face. She was stunned for a moment and wanted to stop him: "Change the basin of water--"

"No need."

Jiang Nian lowered her head and ran into the kitchen: "You sit there and eat, I'll go get the chopsticks."

After washing his face, Lu Yu walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the colorful, fragrant and delicious noodles with mixed sauces, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them in big mouthfuls. Jiang Nian brought the cold cowpeas and put them on the table. She sat opposite Lu Yu, listening to the sound of the man eating noodles in big mouthfuls, and felt at ease.

Lu Yu ate three large bowls of noodles in a row, and Jiang Nian couldn't eat anymore after eating one bowl. She was about to get up to clean up the dishes, but Lu Yu got there first and said to her, "Go back to your room and rest. I'll wash the dishes and boil some water for you to take a bath. I'll go back to the dormitory after I'm done."

Jiang Nian withdrew her hand and said, "Okay."

She took off her apron and folded it on the table, then turned and went into the house. She took out the unfinished clothes from the cupboard. It was a white shirt for women with a wavy collar, and two red petals were embroidered on the corners of the collar with silk thread. There was also a small pocket on the left chest with a wavy pattern embroidered on it with silk thread.

She made two such clothes, one with red patterns and one with yellow patterns, and also two pairs of pants, one with sunset yellow material and one with mud brown material, both with waist and cuffs.

This was the first time she made two summer clothes for herself in this era, combining the style of the new century.

Jiang Nian squatted down and took out two white shirts from the bottom of the cabinet. They were specially made for Lu Yu, but they were not finished yet.

When Lu Yu boiled the water and brought it in, Jiang Nian had almost finished sewing the corners of her clothes. She said to Lu Yu, "I have to go to the embroidery shop on the 20th."

Lu Yu said, "Okay, I'll take a day off that day to accompany you."

Jiang Nian took a shower and went to bed early.

Since the unpleasant incident at Tang's house, Jiang Nian occasionally walked on the street, and no military wives and aunts talked to her about dating. She also found that Feng Mei was a little bit abnormal these days. She came to her frequently, and she wanted to tell her everything in her heart at once.

Jiang Nian was sensitive to Feng Mei's abnormality. She finished making the clothes that day, and went to Feng Mei's house at dusk. Captain Song had not returned yet.

Feng Mei was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles. Seeing Jiang Nian coming over, she smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I'm done with my work, so I came to sit down."

After she talked to Feng Mei for a while, she asked indirectly, "Sister Feng, I wonder how long we can stay in this courtyard?"

Feng Mei was stunned for a moment before she understood what Jiang Nian meant, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable here?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, "No, I just feel used to this place. If I move away one day, I'll be reluctant to leave."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Feng Mei and saw Feng Mei lower her head and rub the needle on her scalp. This was completely different from her previous reaction. Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Feng Mei really knew something?

She didn't ask in a hurry, fearing that she would make mistakes if she spoke too much.

So she chatted with Feng Mei about family matters, and finally said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Feng, I really hope that we will always be neighbors."

Once she started talking, Feng Mei couldn't stop and blurted out: "Yes, I also want us to be neighbors forever, but hasn't there been a change in Lao Song? He--"

Feng Mei paused and closed her mouth tightly.

Jiang Nian was amused. Feng Mei was obviously trying to cover up her own secrets. However, after talking to Feng Mei, she had a clue. It seemed that the plot in the book was not completely messed up. Captain Song was likely to be promoted and transferred. No wonder Feng Mei came to see her frequently in the past few days.

It was estimated that Captain Song had not yet made up his mind and just informed Feng Mei.

"Sister-in-law Feng, it's almost time for dinner. I'm going back first."

Jiang Nian stood up to leave. Feng Mei thought Jiang Nian was angry and grabbed her: "Sit down, I'm going to tell you something."

Jiang Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, and she knew what Feng Mei was going to say.

She hesitated for a moment before sitting down, and asked curiously: "What does Sister Feng want to say? Why is she so secretive?"

Feng Mei glanced outside the yard, moved closer to Jiang Nian and whispered: "Old Song may be promoted, but he didn't tell me when, and asked me not to spread rumors and ruin things. I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone else."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "When did Sister Feng say something that I told anyone else?"

Feng Mei smiled: "I definitely believe you."

After she finished speaking, she sighed. For the first time, Jiang Nian saw an expression of reluctance on Feng Mei's face. She said: "Old Song is going to be promoted and leave." Here, our whole family will have to follow him. When we move to another place, we have to start all over again. When Lao Song and I moved here from somewhere else, we finally got to know all the neighbors, but now, we might have to leave again."

Jiang Nian patted Feng Mei's hand and said, "Then Sister Feng, think about it in a different way. If Captain Song gets promoted, that would be a good thing. Not only will he have a higher position, but he will also have a higher salary. We have to look forward. Moving to another place can be regarded as welcoming a new life."

Feng Mei felt much better after hearing what Jiang Nian said.

Jiang Nian chatted with Feng Mei for a while before going back. When Lu Yu left at noon, he said that he would be busy until late in the evening and would not be back for dinner. Tomorrow was the 20th, and he would take her to the city early in the morning. Jiang Nian went to bed after dinner and was awakened by the sound of a horn the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she heard footsteps outside the house.

Jiang Nian got up and put on her newly made clothes, a white short-sleeved shirt with a small flower collar embroidered with red silk thread and mud-brown trousers. She tied her hair into a bun and put on the small white sandals that Ge Mei bought for her. She opened the door and walked out. There was a sound of water splashing in the kitchen. Jiang Nian pursed her lips, walked to the door of the kitchen with a smile, looked at Lu Yu facing the water tank, and said softly, "Lu Yu."

This was the first time she dressed up carefully, and also the first time she wanted to dress up for Lu Yu to see.

Lu Yu turned around with the bucket in his hand, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Nian. She was wearing a white shirt with small red flowers embroidered on both sides of the collar. The white shirt was tucked into her trousers, and her mud-brown trousers were gathered at the ankles. This outfit made her waist curve more slender.

"Does it look good?"

Jiang Nian smiled with her back to the light.

Lu Yu put down the bucket and nodded, saying, "It looks good."

Jiang Nian smiled, turned around and walked briskly to the well: "I'll wash up first. Let's go to the market after dinner. Try to go early and come back early."

Since she heard from Feng Mei yesterday that Captain Song might be promoted and transferred, Jiang Nian began to think about the future. Once Captain Song left, Lu Yu's transfer order would soon arrive, but she didn't know which city he would be transferred to?

After breakfast, Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls, and the two set out to leave the army. When the passing military wives saw Jiang Nian, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, Jiang Nian today was completely different from before. Jiang Nian also greeted the military wives with a smile.

Lu Yu looked down at Jiang Nian, who was smiling, and recalled the first time he brought Jiang Nian to the army. She was holding a small cloth bag, lowering her head, silent and silent, hiding when she saw people. He hoped that this Jiang Nian in front of him would always be like this.

The two walked out of the army and saw Chen Fang and Sun Ying coming towards them. Lu Yu nodded and greeted: "Sister-in-law Chen." He

ignored Sun Ying.

Sun Ying pursed her lips and kept her eyes on Lu Yu, wishing that her eyes would stick to him.

Jiang Nian: ...

She also greeted Chen Fang: "Sister-in-law Chen."

"What are you doing?"

Chen Fang looked at Jiang Nian. She felt guilty for misunderstanding Jiang Nian and Song Bai last time. Seeing that Jiang Nian was dressed differently today, her eyes lit up and she smiled: "It's true that clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. You look so beautiful."

Jiang Nian smiled and was polite to Chen Fang.

Sun Ying saw the coldness between Lu Yu's eyebrows and finally retracted her gaze to look at Jiang Nian next to her. After seeing her dress, her face suddenly changed, and the jealousy in her eyes was almost uncontrollable. She ignored Jiang Nian with a cold face and walked straight into the army.

Chen Fang smiled awkwardly, greeted the two and chased after them.

After everyone left, Jiang Nian looked up at Lu Yu, with a bit of sourness in her tone: "Sun Ying's eyes are almost glued to you."

Lu Yu: ...

Jiang Nian left after saying that, and Lu Yu followed closely behind, looking down at Jiang Nian's lips, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Don't worry about her."

"Oh."

Jiang Nian lowered her head, she knew that this matter was not Lu Yu's fault.

Now Lu Yu and Sun Ying are already two people on two lines, but thinking of the plot of "Lu Yu and Sun Ying" in the book, Jiang Nian still couldn't help but feel sour. She exhaled lightly, and just ran to the bus stop sign, her cheeks suddenly became hot.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and saw Lu Yu standing beside her in a proper manner, his tall and straight figure standing straight, his cold and handsome face also showing a bit of majesty, which was completely different from the crazy look he had in the house before. If it weren't for the warmth on her cheek and Lu Yu standing beside her, she would have suspected that the person who kissed her was not Lu Yu. There

were few people in the car today, and Jiang Nian originally wanted to sit in the front seat, but Lu Yu took her to sit in the two seats in the back row. Lu Yu asked her to sit by the window, and he sat on the side. After the car started, Jiang Nian's hand on her leg was held by a big hand.

The man squeezed her fingers open, clasped her hand tightly, and pressed it under the small cloth bag in her arms.

Jiang Nian: ...

She found that Lu Yu was outside, and he looked completely different from when they were alone at home.

The car drove for four hours and arrived in the city. Lu Yu rubbed the back of Jiang Nian's hand with his fingertips reluctantly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get off the car."

They went to the state-owned hotel for lunch first, and then went to the embroidery mansion. When they walked outside the embroidery mansion, Lu Yu said to her: "I'll wait for you outside."

Jiang Nian nodded: "Okay."

She pushed open the door and walked in with the small cloth bag on her shoulder. She heard Zhang Xiao's nasal voice: "Hello, please - Hey, Sister Jiang!"

Zhang Zhang Xiao walked out of the counter happily: "Sister Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I'm here to exchange embroidery paintings."

Zhang Xiao was the only one in the embroidery house. Jiang Nian asked, "Where are the others?"

Zhang Xiao said, "They are all eating in the dormitory. They will be here soon."

Jiang Nian saw that Zhang Xiao's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried, so she sat on the bench by the window. She turned her head and looked outside the window. Lu Yu was standing outside. From her angle, she could only see Lu Yu's straight back.

Jiang Nian looked at Zhang Xiao who was standing opposite him: "Did you feel wronged?"

Zhang Xiao's eyes were red again: "It's okay, I just need to endure it for another month."

Jiang Nian was stunned: "Why one month?"

Zhang Xiao sniffed and finally smiled: "Zhu Jun called me yesterday and said that the marriage report application has been approved. When my mother and his mother come over, we will get married. If there is something wrong, I won't stay in Xiuzhuang anymore."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Congratulations."

After chatting with Zhang Xiao for a while, several people came into Xiuzhuang. The one walking in front was a middle-aged woman with short hair, followed by a woman with a braid. After the two came in, Zhai Peipei and Lu Xiaojing also came. After they talked for a while, they saw that the new director Peng Yin looked unhappy, so they all went to the compartment.

The woman next to Peng Yin was called Shi Li, Peng Yin's niece, and both Ge Jie and Zhang Xiao had mentioned it.

Jiang Nian calculated the time. Sister Ge said on the phone that the boss from Gangcheng would come over in the afternoon. She opened the embroidery and put it on the table. Just as Sister Ge said, Peng Yin frowned and pointed out that the needlework here was wrong and the stitches there were uneven. She pressed her fingers on it and said that although the embroidery looked good, there were too many flaws and the boss from Gangcheng would not like it. She asked her to take it back for modifications.

Zhang Xiao looked at Jiang Nian worriedly. Shi Li, who was standing next to him, held an embroidery stand in her hand and said, "I heard from the previous director that you can get 100 yuan for this embroidery? With your embroidery skills, don't you feel guilty about holding a hundred yuan?"

Jiang Nian looked up at Shi Li and retorted, "I can get a hundred yuan, can you?"

"Comrade Jiang Nian!"

Peng Yin continued with a cold face, "There are indeed big problems with your embroidery. It must be modified, and the color scheme is not right. If you hand this embroidery to the boss of Gangcheng, not only will it be returned by the boss of Gangcheng, it may also affect the continued cooperation between the state-owned embroidery house and Gangcheng."

Everything Peng Yin said came true one by one as Ge Mei had reminded her before.

Jiang Nian was not at all inferior. She glanced at Shi Li who was watching the show and glanced at the embroidery in her hand. "My embroidery is not good. What about hers? The colors don't match, the stitches are not even even. Her embroidery skills are not even as good as Zhang Xiao's. I'm very curious why Director Peng wants to keep this person in the state-owned embroidery shop? Are you relatives? So you want to squeeze Zhang Xiao out and let this person do the talking?" A woman who is totally clueless standing at the counter to receive customers?"

Looking at the sullen faces of Director Peng and Shi Li, Jiang Nian took the opportunity to interrupt Peng Yin: "The state-owned embroidery house is not your private property. You used your power to squeeze out the employees and want to keep your own people. Even if this matter is reported to the leader, the leader will have to give an explanation. Director Peng thinks that he is the director, so he can cover the sky with one hand in the state-owned embroidery house? !"

"You are talking nonsense! Don't put labels on me. Who said we are relatives?"

Peng Yin's face was ugly. He really didn't expect that this young embroidery girl admired by Ge Mei was so eloquent and spoke one word at a time.

Shi Li was still angry about Jiang Nian saying that she was not as good at embroidery as Zhang Xiao, but when she heard her talk about the state-owned embroidery house, she suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Nian smiled calmly: "You don't admit that there is no relationship. The leaders will know whether there is a family relationship or not after checking."

Peng Yin said angrily: "I'm talking to you about embroidery, don't talk to me about other things."

Jiang Nian said: "I will say one more thing, whether you like it or not, do you know what the biggest difference between you and Director Ge is?"

Before Peng Yin could speak, Jiang Nian blocked her mouth again: "Director Ge is thoughtful and will give every employee a decent treatment. Even if they are relatives, he will treat them equally, and he will not use his power as the director to take advantage of Qiao. Zhang Xiao is here, Director Peng, please tell me, What did she not do well? Was it the poor reception of customers or the poor introduction of embroidery? Or was she not satisfied with the cleaning? Is her salary worthy of her work?"

Jiang Nian glanced at Shi Li: "Excuse me, Director Peng, what does this person do every day in the Embroidery Manor? Embroidery? Her embroidery skills are a disgrace to the Embroidery Manor, but did she clean the sanitation? What kind of ability does she have to stay in the Embroidery Manor? Do you really think that the people in the Embroidery Manor are afraid of your position as the director and dare not go to the leader to sue you for abusing your power for personal gain?"

If Zhang Xiao had not just told her what happened in the Embroidery Manor during this period, she really would not have understood it so clearly.

Peng Yin and Shi Li were speechless for a long time.

Jiang Nian smiled and changed the subject: "I know Director Peng is a new official who has three fires to start. I am the one who performed the operation, and I can understand Director Peng's thoughts. But let's put things in perspective. You keep saying that my embroidery has several flaws. Why don't we wait for the boss of Gangcheng to come and let him see the embroidery before we say anything."

Peng Yin didn't expect Jiang Nian to point out her thoughts.

That's right, before she came to the embroidery shop, she heard the leader and Ge Mei mention the name Jiang Nian. She is good at embroidery, and her embroidery patterns are also one in a thousand. Especially this time, the big order that the embroidery shop and Hongcheng negotiated was because of Jiang Nian, so she wanted to give Jiang Nian a warning and suppress her prestige, so that she would not show off in front of her with her embroidery skills.

As a result, she didn't expect that she would lift a stone and drop it on her own feet.

Shi Li is her niece, she has her own selfish intentions, and Zhang Xiao is not very good at embroidery. It doesn't matter whether she is there or not. It's better to squeeze her out and let Shi Li take over Zhang Xiao's job. As for Jiang Nian, she doesn't have the courage to drive her away, she just wants to show off.

Zhai Peipei and Lu Xiaojing hid behind the curtain, Peng Yin and Shi Li had their backs to them. They gave Jiang Nian a thumbs up. Even Zhang Xiao who was standing at the counter smiled. Jiang Nian glanced at them but didn't respond.

"Leave the embroidery behind and go back first. I'll contact you when the boss of Gangcheng comes and sees if there's any problem."

Just as Peng Yin finished speaking, three people came to the embroidery house. The leader was the leader. Jiang Nian had never seen the other two female comrades, but judging from their dress, they must be the boss of Gangcheng.

"Director Wang."

Peng Yin's face changed. She didn't expect that she would be in trouble. She glanced at the embroidery on the table and walked over awkwardly. Director Wang nodded, and when he saw Jiang Nian standing up, he smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Director Wang."

Ge Mei had brought her to see Director Wang before.

Shi Li stood aside and didn't dare to breathe. Zhang Xiao came over and moved stools and poured water for a few people. Director Wang introduced the two people from Gangcheng: "Comrade Deng, this is Comrade Jiang from the state-owned embroidery shop. It's a coincidence that you meet today."

When Peng Yin saw the Gangcheng boss looking at the embroidery on the table next to him, his face looked a little ugly and embarrassed.

"Comrade Jiang."

The woman with curly hair was about the same age as Ge Mei, with delicate makeup on her face and clothes that were very different from those here. She extended her hand to Jiang Nian and said with a smile: "My name is Deng Ke, you can call me Comrade Deng, or Sister Deng."

She introduced the woman next to her: "Her name is Xia He, my assistant."

Jiang Nian had a faint smile on her face, and extended her hand to shake hands with Deng Ke generously: "My name is Jiang Nian, Sister Deng can call me Comrade Xiao Jiang."

Lu Yu stood outside under the electric pole through a glass, and turned his head to look inside.

Jiang Nian was completely different from the previous Jiang Nian in terms of temperament and behavior. Lu Yu found that once she was involved in embroidery work, she would show edges and corners that she had never had before.

She seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and Lu Yu didn't know when he could remove the mist and find out her secret.

"Director Wang, Comrade Deng, drink some water first."

Director Peng wanted to interrupt, but Deng Ke said in a calm voice, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

She lowered her head to look at the embroidery on the table, and gently stroked it with her hand, with admiration gradually showing in her eyes. She looked up at Jiang Nian, "Comrade Jiang, your embroidery skills are still so good."

Deng Fei spoke with a slight accent, and Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Sister Deng, take another look. If you are not satisfied with anything, I can modify it."

When she said this, she glanced at Peng Yin next to Director Wang. Peng Yin's face froze for a moment, and she didn't dare to speak.

Deng Ke smiled and said, "I am very satisfied. I didn't expect that you are so young and have such great embroidery skills. I heard from Ge Mei that you are still young before, and I have always wanted to meet you. I was in a hurry when I came last time and I didn't meet you. When I saw you today, it was just like what Ge Mei said, you are very young, beautiful, and your embroidery skills are also rare."

Jiang Nian's face did not show any shyness or timidity after being praised. , but responded openly: "Thank you, Sister Deng, for the compliment."

Director Wang also appreciated Jiang Nian's reaction, and felt that Ge Mei had made the right choice in leaving such a treasure to their embroidery shop. Since the state-owned embroidery shop and Deng Ke cooperated, the profit has increased a little compared with previous years. If it can continue to maintain, she can achieve good results, and it is possible that it will rise in two years.

Several people sat and chatted for a while, and Peng Yin's heart was always uneasy. She was afraid that Jiang Nian would bring up what she said before in front of Director Wang and Comrade Deng. If Jiang Nian really said it, Director Wang would definitely be angry that she almost messed up the cooperation with Gangcheng, and then the position of director she just sat down would be a little uncertain.

Peng Yin was sweating a little. Director Wang turned his head to look at her: "Are you hot?"

Peng Yin glanced at Jiang Nian who was talking to Comrade Deng, and smiled stiffly: "A little hot."

Deng Ke brought three more embroidery paintings this time, and they were all large-sized. One was a landscape painting, and he said that it had to be completed within two months. This embroidery painting would be given as a gift to an important elder in Hong Kong City. Jiang Nian heard a message from Deng Ke's words that this landscape embroidery painting might be known to more people in Hong Kong City. Once her reputation was spread, no matter where she went in the future, as long as she had the name Jiang Nian and the craftsmanship, there would be people scrambling for her in any state-owned embroidery shop in any city.

Jiang Nian saw the admiration in Deng Ke's eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Deng, I will embroider this embroidery myself and complete it within the deadline."

Deng Ke smiled and said, "I believe you."

Director Wang is also a seasoned man, so he naturally heard the mystery behind it. After sending Deng Ke and Secretary Xia He away, he turned back. Peng Yin saw Director Wang coming back, and her scalp tingled. Director Wang didn't look at her when he came in, but talked to Jiang Nian for a while. He looked so happy, as if Jiang Nian was a fortune-maker.

However, several people knew in their hearts that Jiang Nian was really the signboard of the state-owned embroidery shop.

If Jiang Nian is no longer in the embroidery shop, the boss of Gangcheng will probably not cooperate with the state-owned embroidery shop in this area of ​​the city. The good profitability of the embroidery shop is linked to Director Wang's performance while working, and it also has a great relationship with her promotion. She must coax Jiang Nian well.

After waiting for Director Wang to leave, Jiang Nian did not say anything about what happened just now. Peng Yin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she did not burn the fire in the right place. Not only did she not shock people, but she also got herself into trouble. She looked at Jiang Nian and asked: "Why didn't you say it just now? As long as you say it, I will be criticized by Director Wang and make self-criticism."

To put it more seriously, she might be removed from the position of director.

Jiang Nian had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold: "I just said that Director Peng is just a new official and has three fires to start with. I understand, but I don't want to bring this matter to the table. I still want to do Director Peng a favor."

Peng Yin frowned, not knowing what she meant, but when she saw Jiang Nian looking at Shi Li, Peng Yin instantly understood.

Jiang Nian said, "I understand Director Peng's desire to help his relatives, but Director Peng should ask himself, between Zhang Xiao and Shi Li, who is more suitable for this job? I am not using my embroidery skills to show off to you, Director Peng should also think about which is more important?"

Jiang Nian smiled and looked at Peng Yin, who was very angry. If she couldn't understand Jiang Nian's words, then she would have wasted all these years. If she insisted on keeping Shi Li and squeezed out Zhang Xiao, then her accusation of embroidery today would also reach Director Wang's ears. By then, not to mention Shi Li, she would also have to leave.

Jiang Nian put the drawings into the cloth bag and said to Peng Yin, "I still need the embroidery cloth and silk thread. Can you please ask Director Peng to send them to me? Oh, and I'll also get my embroidery fee. I'm going back first."

After that, she said hello to Zhai Peipei, Lu Xiaojing and Zhang Xiao. The three of them gave her a thumbs up.

She pushed the door and walked out of the embroidery shop. She saw Lu Yu on the side of the road. The man saw her coming out and walked towards her: "Are

you done?" Jiang Nian nodded gently: "Well, let's go back."

"We'll go back later and do something first."

Jiang Nian looked up at Lu Yu, who was much taller than her, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

The two walked on the side of the road. Lu Yu coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and took Jiang Nian's hand: "Let's take a picture."

Take a picture? ?

Jiang Nian looked down at her hand that was tightly held by Lu Yu, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

The photo studios of this era were very simple, and the cameras were also of the old-fashioned type.

Two people walked into the photo studio. Inside was a man with a beard and glasses. He had a pair of sunglasses hanging around his neck. He lowered his head and looked at something. When he heard the door open, the man stood up and said with a smile, "Comrades, do you want to take a photo?"

Lu Yu nodded. When the bearded man asked what kind of photos they wanted to take, Lu Yu just said, "Two people."

Jiang Nian: ???
