Chapter 211 Unkind



"Xiao Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

Huang Youqing was so excited that he was trembling a little.

Is it what I understand it to mean?

"That's right, our provincial military region has a batch of orders, and it's a three-year order."

They were making uniforms and blankets for the military.

"And the number is enormous."

"This...this is great news! How large is this quantity?"

Huang Youqing felt as if a pie had suddenly fallen from the sky, right in front of his mouth.

"I heard that there are about 30,000 pieces of clothing on average each month, but I don't know the exact number of quilts."

We need to negotiate with them, but there are plenty of people eyeing this business.

As expected, Huang Youqing grabbed Jiang Tiecheng's hand anxiously upon hearing this.

"Xiao Jiang, since you're telling me this, you must have a way, you must know someone, right?"

Then let's go find them. Don't worry, all the folks in our village won't let you do this favor for nothing. If you need anything or want to spend money, just let us know.

The villagers aren't ungrateful.

"Captain, we're like family, how could I accept money from the villagers?"

Even if it involves personal favors, it's to repay the villagers and the team leader for their kindness to me back then.

"Let's get formal when we talk about money."

Huang Youqing's eyes immediately reddened. Some people don't care about personal gains or losses at all, and they think about the villagers.

Just for this reason alone, he felt that he loved Jiang Tiecheng to death.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him. The villagers and I were so good to Jiang Tiecheng back then, and we've certainly been rewarded. It seems that good people are indeed blessed in this world.

"Captain, you don't need to worry about anything. Leave this to me. Once I've made the arrangements, I'll bring people over to sign the contract with our team."

We can't just stand by and watch our fellow villagers live such a miserable life.

I'm also a part of our Red Flag Brigade. Although I've left, this place is my root, like my mother's home. How could I abandon my own family?

These words moved Huang Youqing to tears.

What followed was a natural progression. The couple warmly welcomed Jiang Tiecheng, and many villagers, upon hearing the news, came to the team leader's house.

They learned that Jiang Tiecheng was actually willing to use his personal connections to help his fellow villagers solve their order problems.

Everyone was excited, spreading the news by word of mouth.

The grateful villagers were so happy that they wanted to bring out their best things.

Jiang Tiecheng didn't take anything, and naturally didn't mention Director Chen's wife at this moment.

After all, you can't say this kind of thing openly, it's easy to attract attention.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Tiecheng went home early. When this news spread, the whole village was naturally grateful to Jiang Tiecheng.

Jiang Tiecheng returned to his dormitory and immediately saw Chen Ruixue standing under the crooked locust tree by the entrance.

He was also holding an oil paper package in a net bag.

"Ruixue, what brings you here?"

After asking this question, Jiang Tiecheng slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I forgot, you're off today. I have some errands to run."

"Back to our Red Flag Brigade!"

Chen Ruixue smiled.

"What's the big deal? Of course you have your own things to do, and you can't just keep bothering me while I'm resting!"

Brother Jiang, look what good stuff I brought you!

This is mutton, fresh mutton. I brought you five jin (2.5 kg).

These days, not everyone can afford to eat mutton; it's a special commodity.

Even with tickets, you can't buy them.

Jiang Tiecheng was touched by these words; this little girl was truly sincere towards him.

Unlike most girls who are petty and calculating.

Open the courtyard gate and let them in.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing back at the brigade?"

“I’m going back to take a look. I heard the harvest wasn’t good this year, so the villagers must be having a hard time. It’s been so long, I have to go back and check on them.”

Chen Ruixue looked at Jiang Tiecheng and felt somewhat moved after hearing his words.

Brother Jiang is such an upright and selfless person. He has such feelings for the place where he was sent to work in the countryside for only half a year.

Jiang Tiecheng took the net bag from him.

Have you eaten yet?

"I've already eaten. I had hot pot with mutton, and I brought this mutton especially for you."

"By the way, Brother Jiang, how's our team doing?"

"The harvest in the team is worse than last year, and every household is having a hard time."

I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative has also run out of orders, so I'm trying to figure out how to get them some other orders.

"Having some extra money can help supplement the family income."

"Life is not easy for the villagers."

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, so the mutton can be placed directly in the jar, covered, and left in the yard without spoiling.

"Brother Jiang, if you need to help the villagers with anything, just let me know!"

After all, you and I came from the Red Flag Brigade together.

We can't forget our roots.

Chen Ruixue was reluctant to give up the opportunity to be with Jiang Tiecheng.

Jiang Tiecheng paused for a moment, originally intending to refuse the matter, as it involved some private matters.

He didn't want to involve Chen Ruixue, but the thought of her being Director Chen's lover made him hesitate.

As a naive young man, getting close to Director Chen's wife would attract attention, since in any era, a man and a woman who are too close would always be noticed.

But Chen Ruixue is different.

However, this matter is very complicated, and if I drag Chen Ruixue into it...

That seems rather unfair.

This goes against his principles; he has no reason to take advantage of a woman.

Seeing that Jiang Tiecheng did not answer, but instead hesitated.

Chen Ruixue asked curiously,

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong? Don't you want to take me with you?"

This is a good deed, and you don't even want to take me? Is something wrong?

Jiang Tiecheng smiled wryly. Although this girl was a bit love-struck when she was with him, she was very open and honest with him.

But in reality, this girl is very clever; she immediately caught my slightest reaction.

"Brother Jiang, please don't hide it from me. Is there some difficulty you're facing?"

You said you would definitely help me if I could.

Is it a lack of money or something else?

If it's about orders, I could try contacting my brother or my dad's old comrades-in-arms; maybe they'll have a way."

Chen Ruixue is such a sensitive girl. Although she likes Jiang Tiecheng, it doesn't mean she's brainless.

"It's not about money, and it's not about orders."

"What is it?"

"Brother Jiang, aren't we friends? You've helped me so many times, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Seeing Jiang Tiecheng's troubled expression, Chen Ruixue could guess that this was probably not a good thing.

If it were someone else doing this, I promise I wouldn't meddle, but this is Jiang Tiecheng.

Even if Jiang Tiecheng really did something wrong, Chen Ruixue would help him.

To be precise, Chen Ruixue is truly a love-struck person who would do anything for love.
