"Sure, you're welcome anytime. I work from 8:30 am to 7 pm, and I'm free the rest of the time."
…
With Jiang Shushu's deliberate catering, the two of them chatted more and more happily, as if there were endless topics to talk about, endless life to talk about. It was not until someone came to buy something that Jiang Shushu said goodbye.
"Yushu, you go ahead and get busy. We'll talk next time. Come and play with me when you're free, and I'll come and play with you when I'm free."
"Okay, okay, Shushu, I'll definitely come and play with you." Why hadn't I realized before that Shushu was such a nice person? But it wasn't too late to realize it now.
Jiang Shushu then went to the third floor.
Today's harvest was good, and everything developed as I expected. After spending some time with Feng Yushu, I can use Feng Yushu's connections to sell one watch a month. By the way, I can also gain some connections in the department store, and if I want to buy something there, I can ask Feng Yushu for help.
Ever since he saw some black market robbing other black market thieves last time, and heard at work about someone getting busted for speculation and someone getting busted for buying something at the black market and then fired, Jiang Shushu decided to stay away from the black market unless it was absolutely necessary.
Besides, apart from the watches, there is nothing else that can be sold for the monthly supplies, and the other things are just barely enough for my own use.
Feng Yushu is a good person. His family is from the local city and he has many aunts and uncles. His family conditions are good. He only buys one watch a month. As long as Feng Yushu is willing, he can sell it in minutes.
But I still need to test Feng Yushu to see if she has any interest in this regard. If not, I can just use her to sell 2 or 3 yuan and find someone else for the rest.
When Jiang Shushu returned home, Jiang He and his wife had not returned yet. Jiang Shushu put most of the things he bought into the small space until it was full.
Jiang Shushu saw that there was only a thermos, a small iron pot, and some egg cakes left, so he just left them there. He also took a toothbrush and a box of toothpaste from the supply space. Anyway, these were necessities, so Xu Hehua would at most nag him a few words.
Jiang Shushu sat for a while and heard the voices of Jiang He and his wife. He quickly got up and opened the door. Seeing them carrying large and small bags, he quickly reached out to take them.
"Dad, Mom, why do you bring so many things?" They have moved their entire home here, so they don't live there anymore.
Xu Hehua: "Not much, not much, just what you need."
The three of them put their things in the living room. Jiang Shushu reached out and untied the bag, wanting to see what they had brought with them. Why did they bring so many bags?
When Jiang Shushu saw the things, he was speechless. It seemed like the old couple didn't want to live anymore. They brought all the things with them. What were they going to do with them?
"Dad, Mom, why don't you two stay home? There's only one thermos at home, why did you bring it?"
"It's convenient for us to boil water at home. We can just pour the boiled water into the basin. Your father and I like to drink cold boiled water. It doesn't matter whether we use a kettle or not."
"And this toothpaste, you two are planning on not brushing your teeth."
"I squeezed out half of the toothpaste, it's enough for the family."
…
As they were talking, Jiang Shushu didn't want to say anything anymore. After all, Xu Hehua was right.
"Dad, Mom, go tidy up your rooms first. I'll put these things away."
Jiang Shushu picked through the pile of things and selected one-third of them as essential items for his hometown, putting them aside to take back with him later.
Xu Hehua: "Shushu, how did you pick these out?"
"I can't use these things right now. I'll take them back when I go home and use them at home."
Xu Hehua wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang He. "Listen to your daughter. She's not going to live away from home. She'll need these things at home." See? I told her long ago that I didn't need to bring these things, but she just didn't believe me. Now, I have to take the trouble to bring them back. Alas, I'm the one who suffers.
After packing up, on the way back, they discussed again whether to keep the old and new thermos and toothpaste. In the end, Jiang Shushu made the decision and said that she worked during the day and drank water in the store, so she used the thermos less often. She would use the old one and take the new one back home. As for the toothpaste, since there were many people in her family, she would take the extra one home.
Jiang Shushu and his family returned to Jiangjia Village, but no one came up to ask questions until they reached the door of their house.
Jiang He and his wife were moving their luggage, making such a commotion. It was impossible for the villagers to not know about it. They should have come up to ask about it. Why was there no movement? This was not in line with the Jiang family's style!
A group of little brats came running over from a distance, shouting, "Brother Xiaoan is driving a big car and has a stable job..."
Jiang Shushu instantly understood that there was a bigger headline in the village: the team leader's son had a stable job.
Jiang He: "Xiaoan is finally back. He's been away for over a month and now he has a stable job. That's great! Let's go see him!"
The family put down their things and went to the third uncle's house. When they got there, they saw that there were three layers of houses inside and three layers of houses outside. Not only people from Jiangjia Village, but also people from other villages had come.
As expected of the captain's son, he is very popular.
Jiang Shushu took a quick look and found a group of specially dressed-up girls following their elders, all crowding towards Jiang Xiaoan.
This guy is really lucky. Look at this bunch of girls, each with their own unique characteristics, haha...
They all have iron rice bowls, so why is there such a huge difference in treatment? Jiang Xiaoan has an iron rice bowl, and dozens of girls have followed suit. But I have an iron rice bowl, let alone dozens, not even a few. It's really unfair.
"Aunt, don't you have something to talk to me about? Let's go to your house and talk."
Jiang Xiaobei didn't wait for Jiang Shushu's response, he pulled Jiang Shushu and ran away, and didn't let go until they reached Jiang Shushu's house.
"I'm so scared. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid they will eat me up. Each of them wants to be my matchmaker. Don't they see how old I am? I'm still a month away from adulthood. Isn't this harming minors?" Jiang Xiaoan felt for the first time that women were so terrifying. Their smiles made him feel very nervous.
"You don't know how lucky you are." Others want it, but they don't have this treatment yet.
"How can this be a blessing when a bunch of women are smiling at you with ill intentions?" This is clearly a nightmare.
Jiang Shushu: “…” That’s because they are not pretty enough. If they were prettier, you wouldn’t feel that way.
"Then you can hide in my house. They won't be able to see you and will disperse soon."
"Well, I heard from my dad that you made some medicinal soup for my grandfather to drink. Thank you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see my grandfather."
"Your grandfather is also my third uncle, no need to thank me. I heard you're driving a truck now. What do you do?"
Jiang Xiaoan is always proud when talking about his job. "I'm a temporary worker in the transport team. If I do well, I can get a permanent position in half a year."
