Jiang Mingwen lost his composure when he heard the words "strong and healthy." "Strong and healthy? Male?"
Jiang Shushu nodded, "A man."
"What's your relationship? How did you meet? Why did he come to Hualing Brigade?" Could they be dating? But what future could an educated youth sent to the countryside to work in the fields have? The more Jiang Mingwen thought about it, the more worried he became.
"An ordinary friend. He did me a favor and I owe him one. He went to the countryside and didn't want to be too far away. He also heard that our Hualing Brigade was very friendly and caring towards the educated youth, so he asked me to ask you for help."
Jiang Mingwen always felt uneasy without seeing the person in person. "Shushu, I want to meet this person. First, I want to see what kind of person he is, and second, I want to recognize him. The city leaders want to take care of us and let us choose the educated youth from this city, but I also need to know if he is the right person. What if the captain of another brigade accidentally picks him and I have to exchange him back, people will say something."
"That's as it should be. If you think there's something wrong with his people, then just ignore what I said today and don't bother with him. Doesn't he have a meeting in the city this morning? At 7:50, I'll take him to the big tree on XXX Road, which is the road you must pass, to meet you there. Is that okay with you?"
After hearing what Jiang Shushu said, Jiang Mingwen finally believed that they were just ordinary friends. "Okay, I'll meet him. As long as his character is good, I'll choose him."
…
Jiang Shushu returned home and saw Jiang He sitting in the yard looking at the stars. Thinking of Zhang Meihua's question, Jiang Shushu thought about it and sat down next to Jiang He.
"Did your cousin agree?"
"My cousin said he still needs to take a look at the person, so it's not a big problem."
"Dad, I got rid of that Xu Jianan today. I'm afraid those three people in the Youth League Institute might have some opinions about our family. You should pay more attention to them. Don't get too close to them. Especially Zhang Zhiqing, you have to pay special attention. She spoke to me inexplicably at the village entrance today. I suspect she likes Xu Jianan. I'm afraid she will get upset and cause trouble for us, and avenge Xu Jianan." He couldn't tell the real reason, so he could only make it up.
"Ah! Zhang Zhiqing likes Xu Jianan? There's such a thing? There's no news in the village. Okay, Dad will pay attention and stay away from those educated youths. I will also keep an eye on your mom."
"I'm not sure, it's just my guess, but for our safety, we'd better be careful. Let's observe for a month or so first." When Yang Xiaobei comes, let him continue to keep an eye on it until the hidden danger of Zhang Meihua is eliminated.
"good."
On the morning of November 30, Jiang Shushu rode his bicycle to the big banyan tree on XXX Road.
"Good morning, Yang Xiaobei."
"Good morning, I bought some Liangji meat buns. You can try some. They taste really good." Yang Xiaobei handed three big meat buns to Jiang Shushu.
"No, I've eaten them already. You can keep them." Whether in her past life or this one, Jiang Shushu had always been instinctively resistant to food that wasn't vacuum-packed or to people she wasn't particularly familiar with. Although her mind told her that these buns were absolutely fine, she still didn't want them.
"Take it and eat it when you're hungry. You've helped me so much, so I should treat you to breakfast."
Seeing that Yang Xiaobei insisted on giving it to him, Jiang Shushu thought that Jiang Mingwen might not have eaten much for breakfast, so he took the meat bun and said, "Okay, thank you. I called you here today to meet our team leader and get to know each other. I told him that we are ordinary friends and I just wanted to help him. I didn't say anything else. If he asks you questions, you can answer them freely. Can you go to the Hualing Team? He has the final say." So don't blame me if you don't perform well.
"Okay, I know, thank you." Yang Xiaobei looked a little annoyed, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare breakfast for your captain."
"You didn't know it before, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'll give you these three meat buns later." Jiang Shushu raised the meat bun in his hand.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to meat buns tomorrow. Or what do you like? I'll go get it."
"No need. I'll have breakfast at home every day. When you get to the Hualing Brigade, just help me keep an eye on the people."
Jiang Shushu heard the sound of a bicycle and looked up into the distance. He saw Jiang Mingwen from a distance, "That's our team leader."
Jiang Mingwen first looked Yang Xiaobei up and down, confirming that he was a capable person before looking away. "How long have you two been waiting?"
"Not long, I've only been here two minutes."
"Hello, Captain Jiang. I haven't been here long either. I just got here a while ago."
"What's your name? Where do you live? Why did you come to Hualing Brigade?"
"Captain Jiang, my name is Yang Xiaobei..."
…
The two chatted for ten minutes, one asking and the other answering.
"I've received a notice that the educated youth will come on the 16th of next month. Just stand in front of me then, and I'll assign you to the Hualing Brigade."
"Thank you, Captain Jiang. Don't worry, I won't hold you back and will definitely do my job well."
"Okay, then I have something else to do, so I'll go to the meeting first."
"Brother, you must be hungry after riding your bike here. Eat something more. Yang Xiaobei will treat us to breakfast." Jiang Shushu hung the buns on the handlebars of Jiang Mingwen's bicycle.
"Okay, I'll take it. Comrade Yang, thank you for the breakfast. I'll be leaving now."
"As you should. Take care, Captain Jiang."
Jiang Mingwen just left, and Jiang Shushu also rode his bicycle to work?
After receiving his salary that morning, Jiang Mingli took advantage of his lunch break to go to the nearest post office and mail 15 yuan and a letter to Jiang He. He should have sent 13.33 yuan, but Jiang Mingli rounded it up to make it look better.
Jiang Mingli returned home that night and handed the remaining wages to Chen Feng. Chen Feng happily opened it and looked at it. After counting, the smile on her face suddenly fell. "Why is there 15 yuan missing?"
Jiang Mingli's expression remained unchanged. "I sent it to my parents at noon. Starting next month, I will take out ten yuan from my salary every month and send it to my parents for their retirement. They are old and need to eat better."
Chen Feng's face darkened when he heard this. Why should he give them 10 yuan? 5 yuan was good enough. He wanted 10 yuan. He was dreaming. He would never agree to it.
Chen Feng yelled angrily, "Jiang Mingli, what do you mean? You sent money to your parents, why didn't you discuss it with me? You don't put me in your eyes at all, you don't respect me at all, do you treat me as your wife? Wuwuwu..."
Jiang Mingli frowned, "Am I not telling you now?"
"Are you discussing this with me? You're informing me. I'm telling you, I'm very angry now. I don't agree to send 10 yuan to your parents every month."
