After receiving instructions from He Chaoyang, Jiang Xinmin did not dare to delay and immediately went to find Xie Xiangdong.
He knew that Xie Xiangdong was currently overwhelmed with family troubles, so after hearing his words, he would definitely be eager to go find He Xiangyang.
And Xie Xiangdong at this time was indeed just as Jiang Xinmin had thought.
Recently, the Xie family's business has encountered an unprecedented crisis. He has not slept for several days and nights, and the anxiety and worry in his heart make it impossible for him to calm down.
Now that he had received Jiang Xinmin's message, he had a direction and couldn't wait any longer. He immediately got up, grabbed Jiang Xinmin, and headed to the Municipal Bureau to find He Xiangyang.
The two had just walked out of Sun Xiangdong's courtyard when they saw Chen Shuning darting around the various food stalls like a little mouse.
Wearing a typical black outfit, she perfectly showcased her graceful figure. Her high ponytail swayed as she ran, making her look lively and adorable.
Her eating as she walked, without any regard for a young lady's image, was a refreshing sight for Xie Xiangdong, who was used to seeing reserved and pretentious girls.
Even Jiang Xinmin, who was already married, was attracted by Chen Shuning's charming and cute appearance and couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is really beautiful and looks so clever and quirky. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry her."
Jiang Xinmin got married at the age of eighteen, so he really couldn't understand his friends who were still unmarried at their advanced age.
Isn't it good to sleep with your sweet, soft wife every day? Isn't it good to have someone cook for you every day? Why can't you see that? You're all getting on in years, and you'd rather be constantly pressured and nagged by your families than get married?
He just couldn't figure it out.
What Jiang Xinmin didn't expect was that his casual remark would touch someone's heart. However, in the near future, after learning that the girl who had finally won his heart was actually his brother's wife, Xie Xiangdong, although he also got married a few years later, could never find a woman who could truly enter his heart.
Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, Xie Xiangdong has a lot of troubles both at home and outside, so he doesn't have time to think about women.
In the past, whenever he fancied a girl, she would come to him at the slightest gesture. So Xie Xiangdong never imagined that one day he would meet a girl he would never have in his life.
Of course, Chen Shuning was unaware of all this; at that moment, she was chatting animatedly with the old lady selling fried liver.
I learned from the old lady that this was not a black market; the reason there were so many vendors selling things was because it was a small market set up by the government.
These vendors only need to pay a market management fee each day to do business.
Hearing this, Chen Shuning felt even more at ease as she strolled around. Although the existence of this place conflicted with the history she knew, she thought that she hadn't studied history well when she was in school, so maybe it had always existed, but she just didn't know it.
All she needs to know is that this is a government operation, so there's no danger of being arrested for eating something.
So Chen Shuning happily ate from beginning to end, and when she walked into the alley, she was surprised to find that this was actually the famous bar street in later generations.
However, there are no bars here now, but there are quite a few open-air teahouses.
You can order a pot of tea and sit leisurely at an open-air tea stall for most of the day, watching the crowds come and go, and the young couples boating on the water. Of course, there are no singers or comedians performing at this time.
Chen Shuning found a spot near the water, ordered a pot of jasmine tea, and ate the fried liver he had just bought. He learned from the elderly people chatting nearby that there were actually quite a few houses for sale in the area.
Because the residents here are mostly textile factory workers, and the textile factory built staff housing in the western suburbs before the Lunar New Year, many families were able to get apartments this time, so there are more people selling houses in this area.
I thought it best to get home before my family returned so I could take out the things I needed from my storage space.
So Chen Shuning planned to come back tomorrow to see if there was a suitable house. These days, everyone is scrambling to live in apartment buildings, and not many people buy old courtyard houses like this, so Chen Shuning wasn't in a hurry.
So even though she was a little reluctant to part with this leisurely time, Chen Shuning had no choice but to get up and prepare to go home.
Knowing that this area was probably the bar street of later generations, Chen Shuning knew how to get home.
I returned home carrying various snacks that I hadn't finished eating, thankfully everyone was still at get off work.
So Chen Shuning quickly opened the door and went inside, and then began taking things out of the space.
I took out two quilts that were similar in style to the down comforter I saw at the department store yesterday.
It's already sold out in Heilongjiang Province. The four-piece set is bright red and embroidered with peonies. It's perfect for a wedding. I took out two sets.
I took out two sets of my usual country-style floral bed sheets and duvet covers.
Since it was a dowry, and all the items were things she would use in the future, Chen Shuning thought it wouldn't hurt to take out more.
So Chen Shuning would take out cups, bowls, plates and dishes in complete sets, and if anyone asked, he would say that he bought them at a black market stall.
Anyway, in places like the black market, the buying and selling are all quite mysterious. There are quite a few people doing this kind of one-off transactions, and no one can find out even if they want to.
Furthermore, He Chaoyang has been taking care of her ever since they met, showering her with all sorts of gifts.
Aside from cooking for He Chaoyang, she doesn't seem to have ever really given him any gifts.
So Chen Shuning thought he should take this opportunity to give He Chaoyang something.
