Minister Zheng glanced at Nanqiao inadvertently. He knew that Nanqiao had not yet told his family about his relationship, so he was not sure whether Director Bai knew about it.
Happy to flatter Nanqiao, she did not state the relationship between the two, but simply explained that "the women's director was a villager who lived with Nanqiao when she went to the countryside, so she took better care of Nanqiao, so they were closer."
"Oh, so that's it. Then it's right for Nanqiao to have the opportunity to recommend him." Director Bai approved of Nanqiao's behavior, but Minister Zheng didn't think it was that simple.
After all, he is an elder of Nanqiao. I just don't know how he sees Nanqiao's search for a partner. I'm afraid he won't be so relaxed if he knows this is Nanqiao's partner's family... Minister Zheng is thinking in his heart. In his mind, Director Bai, who used to be resolute and decisive, now seems a little silly in his eyes...
While the two were chatting, Nanqiao had already hung up the phone and sat quietly on the side.
"Is the stuff coming?" Minister Zheng asked Nanqiao who was sitting next to him.
"They went to the field to call Aunt Xiumei. They should be working now. Let's wait." Nanqiao said and looked at the time. It was still early before departure, so there was no rush.
In the other village, Aunt Xiumei, who was working in the fields, panicked when she heard that it was Nanqiao's call. She didn't even have time to hear what the call was about, and rushed to the brigade office in a hurry. Sheng Yanchuan was not in the village today, and she was afraid that Nanqiao might be delayed by something.
The person who came to report the news was dragged by Aunt Xiumei all the way back to the office, gasping for breath, "I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm not in a hurry... You... Why are you running? You're giving me gas for breath."
"Wait a minute, what's the number on the other end? Please help me dial it. It's not easy for my future daughter-in-law to be alone in the town. What if something urgent happens?" Aunt Xiumei wondered in her heart what Nanqiao might want to call her for. The more she thought about it, the more she became more and more scared...
The man became nervous when he saw Aunt Xiumei's expression. Although the other party's voice was quite normal when she called, it would be a sin if something really delayed her. He turned a few numbers and dialed the number.
The call was quickly connected, and Aunt Xiumei's slightly anxious voice reached Nanqiao's ears.
"Nan girl, why are you calling? Did something happen?"
Feeling the deep concern in Aunt Xiumei's words, Nanqiao's heart was also warm. "Aunt, I'm fine. It's like this. I remember that we have some small animals made of rattan and bamboo at home. Can you help us make a few more exquisite and rare ones and let Brother Chuan bring them to me?"
"That's ok, when do you want it?" Seeing that Nanqiao had nothing else to do, Aunt Xiumei agreed readily.
"Is tomorrow okay? Won't time be a bit tight?" Nanqiao said after calculating the time.
"No! I'll go home and weave it later, and ask Chuanzi to send it to you tomorrow morning. They are all for children to play with, easy to make."
Aunt Xiumei's cheerful voice came over the phone, and Nanqiao felt relieved. Although she had promised Minister Zheng, she was still a little unsure whether she could get it in time. After all, no matter how practical it was, she would not stockpile too much of it, and foreign merchants would not stay for too long. She was also worried that she would not be able to get it in time.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work Aunt Xiumei."
"It's not that hard, but is everything going well for you, Nan girl?" Aunt Xiumei asked again, as if she was worried.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiumei, everything is going well here," Nanqiao replied in a brisk voice.
"That's fine. I'll go home and get it done for you right away. Wait for me. Also, if you have any problems in town, you must tell me. Although I'm just a villager and I may not be able to do everything for you, more people means more solutions. Don't be afraid of trouble."
Listening to Aunt Xiumei's tireless instructions, Nanqiao's eyes felt slightly hot. Although there were some setbacks in this world, there were more people who exuded kindness.
"Don't worry, auntie."
"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go get it ready for you now."
"Okay, goodbye auntie"
During this phone call, Aunt Xiumei did not ask Nanqiao what he was preparing for. She just felt that no matter what Nanqiao wanted to do, she would prepare well. She was sincere to Nanqiao.
Nanqiao did not explain the reason to Aunt Xiumei because there was no definite news yet. She did not want Aunt Xiumei to be happy for nothing, so she decided to wait until everything was concluded before telling her the good news.
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Xiumei immediately asked for leave from the village chief and took Taohua and Yaya home, leaving only Sheng Yanjun and his wife to work in the fields. She didn't care at all about the deep dissatisfaction in Huiping's eyes.
Aunt Xiumei has been very dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law recently. She used to be silent, and she thought she was just that quiet. Although she didn't like it, she didn't say anything. She would stand in front of her and solve problems for her.
Now it's different. He keeps quiet in front of others, but is always trying to trip others up behind their backs. Now he's even trying to figure out the family background of his future sister-in-law.
Sheng Yanchuan didn't come home yesterday, so he didn't know what happened that night. Aunt Xiumei didn't plan to tell Sheng Yanchuan, one reason was that she couldn't open her mouth, and the other was that she couldn't afford to lose face.
Because the mother-in-law didn't give money to build a house, she was worried about the salary and dowry of the future sister-in-law. This was the first thing that happened in the surrounding area.
She has been very strong all her life, and she can't afford to lose this person after living for most of her life.
If she were to say, her eldest daughter-in-law was instigated by her parents' family. She could suppress her daughter-in-law and she would be quiet for a day or two, but every time she went back to her parents' home, she would start to stir up trouble again.
