Jiang Shushu looked at the letter of intent in his hand happily.
Finally, it's a good start. It's worth my flattery for an hour. Alas, no matter what year it is, it's really hard to make money and it's hard to eat shit. It's really not easy for me.
Jiang Shushu put away the letter of intent and checked the addresses on the list one by one. Unfortunately, after working for an entire afternoon, he still found nothing.
After Jiang Shushu walked away, Li Xiang looked at the letter of intent in her hand and couldn't believe that she and Huang Aimin had decided such an important matter so easily.
"Ai Min, why did I agree so easily? Why didn't you stop me? We should go home and ask our elders for their opinions?" Will my future mother-in-law blame me for acting on my own? After all, it is not cheap to host four tables in a state-owned restaurant.
Huang Aiming smiled innocently and a little embarrassedly, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. Comrade Jiang's suggestion was really great. It not only saves time and effort, but also gives us face and benefits. I wanted to decide it quickly at the time, for fear of missing out on such a good opportunity."
Li Xiang: "..." Yes, that's how I felt at the time. It felt like if I didn't act quickly, I would regret it for the rest of my life. How could Comrade Jiang be so talkative? The pie he painted for me was big, round, and delicious.
Li Xiang's emotions were mixed: excitement about the wedding banquet, worry about being blamed by her future mother-in-law, and heartache over the high cost. "But it's much more expensive to hold it at a state-owned restaurant than at home."
"It's okay. My family can afford this little money. It only happens once in a lifetime. I don't mind spending more. My parents will definitely be happy to make this wedding banquet more dignified, so you don't have to worry about them. I will tell my parents when I get home." Apart from spending some money, this wedding banquet can be said to have no disadvantages and only benefits. Although it is a bit expensive, it is affordable for the three employees in the family.
Huang Aijun said this, and Li Xiang felt relieved. "Thank you, Aimin."
Jiang Shushu did not gain anything until he returned to the state-owned hotel the next day. After a discussion among everyone, they found that things were not as simple as they thought. Several people even returned empty-handed. Then, to sum up, they got three orders.
In addition to the four tables negotiated by Jiang Shushu, there was also one table negotiated by Wang Erniu on the 20th of the first lunar month, and two tables negotiated by Zhang Zhian on February 10th.
Zheng Dayong said: "It's great to have so many tables. We will try our best to make it a success. Maybe these three families will be satisfied and even recommend us to their relatives and friends. Thank you all for your hard work these past two days. Go home and have a good New Year. I wish you all a happy New Year in advance! Everyone, go home and see you on the sixth day of the New Year."
The group said goodbye to each other and walked out of the east side of the state-owned hotel.
Jiang Shushu first returned to his home in the city and gave it a quick clean inside and out. Jiang Shushu believed that even though he wasn't celebrating the Lunar New Year here, the rituals of the Lunar New Year couldn't be missed, and cleaning was necessary to bring good luck and prosperity in the coming year.
At the bus station on the other side, Jiang Mingli had just gotten off the bus with his wife and children, carrying large and small bags.
The mental state of the four people was not very good, especially the two children.
Jiang Mingli said: "There are still cars running, so the guesthouse must be open. Let's stay there tonight, get some rest, and then return to the village early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." I'd rather stay in this shabby rural place for one night less.
After Jiang Mingli arranged for Chen Feng and her two children, he went to his comrade's house with gifts, one to thank them for their previous help, and the other to borrow his bicycle to go back to the village.
Jiang Mingli planned to tell Jiang He and his wife the news that their family of four had returned. Jiang Mingli was afraid that something unexpected would happen and it would be embarrassing tomorrow.
After cleaning up, Jiang Shushu picked up his packed luggage, locked the door, got in the car and returned to the village.
Lin Li, returning from taking out the trash, was puzzled when she saw Jiang Shushu walking out from next door to her mother-in-law's house. After returning home, she turned around and asked her mother-in-law, Zhao Sanhua: "Mom, I just went out to take out the trash, and when I came back, I saw a young and beautiful girl coming out from next door, carrying a lot of bags. Is she a relative of Sister Zhao? She's a very beautiful girl."
"Xiao Jiang should be back in the village for the New Year. Her hometown is in Hualing Brigade. Xiao Jiang is a distant relative of your sister-in-law Zhao. Xiao Zhao left to join the army in mid-October last year and then transferred the house to Xiao Jiang."
Lin Li: "She lives alone in such a big house! Her family is quite well off. Where does she work?"
"Usually, Xiao Jiang lives alone. Occasionally, her parents come to stay for a day or two. Xiao Jiang works in the east part of a state-owned restaurant. She is a nice girl, pretty, sensible, and polite." Zhao Sanhua has liked good-looking people since she was a child. Ever since Jiang Shushu moved in, her favorite thing is to meet Jiang Shushu by chance early in the morning and take a close look at the beauty.
Although Lin Li asked casually on the surface, she was nervous inside: "You are so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet, right? Aunt Li next door said last time that she wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Xiao Jiang, but Xiao Jiang refused on the grounds that she was still young. However, Xiao Jiang is good-looking and has a job, so she will definitely have no trouble getting married. It doesn't matter if she finds someone later. Getting married is a big deal, so you have to take it slow." Alas, it's a pity that his eldest grandson is only 14 years old. If he was four or five years older, he would have to shamelessly go to his house and propose marriage.
When Lin Li heard that Jiang Shushu was single, she gave him a meaningful look, then started chatting with Zhao Sanhua more enthusiastically and inquired about Jiang Shushu's affairs in detail.
Zhao Sanhua saw that her daughter-in-law was chatting with her so happily, so she didn't think much about it and answered whatever she asked.
Lin Li's younger brother Lin Huo is about to graduate from high school in June. Her mother Li Erzhi has been crying and trying to commit suicide recently, insisting that Lin Li give up her job to Lin Huo in a few months.
Lin Li's job was found by her in-laws after she got married. She was very reluctant to give it up because she knew that if she did, she would be without a job and income, and would be looked down upon by both her in-laws and her own family. Her in-laws would accuse her of being a traitor, and her own family would resent her for no further help.
On one side is her husband's family, on the other side is her own family. Lin Li doesn't want to lose either side, and she doesn't want to offend either side. Originally, Lin Li was worried about what to do. When she heard Zhao Sanhua talk about Jiang Shushu's conditions, she immediately thought of a solution in her mind.
It was like a silver lining after a dark cloud. I could let my eldest brother marry Jiang Shushu. Jiang Shushu's house was spacious, and my parents and my eldest brother could move in. My youngest brother would take over Jiang Shushu's job, and my parents' house would be left to him as a wedding house. In this way, both brothers would have jobs and houses to get married.
