Jiang Shiyue arrived at the compound with a cart of sewing machines, causing another sensation.
Mengmeng's mother and the others, who had received the call early and came out to pick her up, had gotten over the initial shock but were still frightened by the truckload of sewing machines.
"How much do so many sewing machines cost?" Wang Hong murmured.
"Mrs. Shiyue said these sewing machines were discarded by the garment factory. They shouldn't be worth much, right?"
Wang Yingying shook her head. "Normally, a sewing machine costs about the same as a bicycle. These sewing machines on the bike are for industrial use and are more expensive than household ones. Even the discarded ones would cost at least fifty yuan each, right?"
"Fifty dollars? God! This car must be worth a thousand, right?"
"Our family doesn't even make a thousand yuan a year."
Mengmeng's mother smiled and said, "Yes, none of us can earn a thousand yuan a year, but Jiang Shiyue's sister-in-law can! For her, a thousand yuan is probably just pocket money now."
"Yes! After all, Jiang Shiyue's sister-in-law is driving a six-figure sedan."
While my sister-in-law was discussing this, the truck stopped at the gate of the compound.
Xu Rushan also arranged for the soldiers in the camp to come and help.
The sewing machines all had small wheels underneath. After being unloaded from the truck, a sister-in-law pushed one.
"Sister-in-law, is the sewing machine still in the warehouse? I have cleaned out the warehouse where the clothes were previously stored." Mengmeng asked Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue thought for a moment, then raised her voice and said to all the sisters-in-law who came to pick her up, "Sisters-in-law, these sewing machines were discarded by the garment factory. If you don't mind, you can take them home. If you can't spare them at home or don't mind discarded items, I'll put them in the warehouse. I need your help making some clothes these next couple of days."
"Sister Shiyue, you're too polite. What do you mean by help or not? You're here to help us make money. I'm the first to sign up."
"That's right, I can earn money from working and even use a sewing machine. Only by following Sister Shiyue can I have such a good thing."
"A sewing machine costs dozens of yuan, and you still have the nerve to ask for wages? Sister Shiyue will do it for you for free!"
"Yes, I'll do it for you for free too."
"Hey! Why are you guys like this? Doesn't that make me seem particularly unrighteous? Is that what I mean?"
“…”
Jiang Shiyue couldn't help but raise her lips as she listened to her sisters-in-law talking and laughing as they walked towards the family compound.
Things have changed and people have changed.
Half a year ago, everyone was calling for her to be beaten, but now she is firmly in the center of the pack.
Mengmeng's mother stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Shiyue. "I heard you're going home? Are you going back with Captain Chen to celebrate the New Year?"
"Yeah. I'm definitely going back, but I haven't decided yet whether I'll spend the New Year in Beijing."
For some reason, Jiang Shiyue was a little reluctant to return to the capital and was reluctant to talk about this topic, so she just passed it over.
Mengmeng's mother saw it, but didn't ask any further questions, "Our Mengmeng will be sad again."
"Um?"
"Yangyang went to Huacheng and didn't come back for several months. It made our Mengmeng so anxious. We finally got used to it, and you guys came back for winter vacation. Now, after just two days together, you're leaving again." Mengmeng's mother smiled bitterly. "It's strange. There are so many children of the same age in the compound, young and old, but I don't know why Mengmeng just likes to play with Yangyang. But Yangyang doesn't like her. It really is true that there is always someone to conquer."
Mengmeng is the little princess among the children in the compound. She is fair, tender and cute. Both adults and children in the compound like Mengmeng.
But Mengmeng has been willing to follow Yangyang since the first time she saw him, even though Yangyang never even glanced at her.
Fortunately, Yangyang has changed a lot recently, and Mengmeng no longer looks so "unrequited".
"In fact, children are the most insightful. They have pure minds and can directly feel whether a person is good or bad. Unlike adults, if you want to judge a person's goodness or badness, you have to analyze their words and deeds bit by bit. Mengmeng likes to play with Yangyang and has persisted for so long. She must know that Yangyang has the same thoughts."
Jiang Shiyue hurriedly spoke for his son. What if Mengmeng’s mother would become his mother-in-law in the future?
Mengmeng's mother burst out laughing, "Sister Shiyue, I can't respond to what you said. Everyone in the compound knows that it was us Mengmeng who was chasing Yangyang."
Yangyang has been good-looking since birth. There's nothing he can do about it, as both his parents are handsome.
People in the compound always make fun of Mengmeng.
It is said that she judges people by their appearance at such a young age.
Even more unpleasant is that they say she is choosing her own partner at such a young age.
Although they were all jokes, they still sounded a bit harsh to Mengmeng's mother.
Unfortunately, my own daughter is not very good and no matter how much I persuade her, she insists on playing with Yangyang.
Mengmeng’s mother herself has no opinion on Yangyang. She used to feel quite sympathetic towards Yangyang for having such a mother.
Whenever we make something delicious at home, we will save it for Yangyang.
However, her daughter always gets the cold shoulder, and Mengmeng's mother feels a little uncomfortable after a while.
"Sister-in-law, outsiders don't understand and only look at the surface. It is indeed your Mengmeng who is chasing Yangyang. But Yangyang grew up under your care. You know his character well. He doesn't interact with other children at all." Jiang Shiyue said this quite tactfully. Yangyang disdained to play with other children.
"But he's still special to Mengmeng. If we have anything delicious or nice to eat or drink at home, he'll definitely be the first to bring it to Mengmeng. Also, in Huacheng, most of the time he won't answer my calls to his dad, but as soon as his dad says he's at the repair camp, he'll definitely be standing by the phone.
It was the same thing when I came back from Huacheng. I didn’t even go home and just stayed at your house. But you know, Yangyang is very particular about his bed.
"That's right." Mengmeng's mother felt relieved after hearing this and waved her hand, "Forget it, children can handle their own problems. The older ones can't control the younger ones, and they won't listen."
"Our Yangyang just has low emotional intelligence, but he will change in the future." Jiang Shiyue tried hard to "endorse" her son.
However, she felt that Yangyang's skills were all focused on IQ, and it would be difficult to improve his EQ.
If he and Mengmeng are destined to be a couple, he would probably have to hurt Mengmeng's heart before he could repent or come to his senses.
***
My sister-in-law took half of the sewing machine home and left the other half in the warehouse.
Jiang Shiyue gave the drawings drawn by Chen Yuanyuan and the raw materials she bought to Mengmeng's mother for safekeeping.
The raw materials were provided by Director Xu.
Because many transactions are now business-to-business, Jiang Shiyue is not qualified to buy raw materials.
Director Xu bought the raw materials in the name of the department store and entrusted them to "temporary workers" for processing.
"Sister-in-law, we're quite pressed for time this time, and since it's Chinese New Year, you sisters-in-law might need to buy some New Year's goods or something, so please be kind and work overtime."
"What's the big deal?" Mengmeng's mother assured, "It's easy to celebrate the New Year in our compound. The sisters-in-law have plenty of time! Besides, it's a good opportunity to earn some money for the New Year."
Jiang Shiyue instructed the men to prepare warm underwear, and then took Yangyang back to the flight squadron.
When I got home, I unexpectedly found Chen Shanhe was also at home.
"Where did the sun rise from? Why are you at home?" Jiang Shiyue was very puzzled.
