While Secretary Qian and a few others were chatting with Nanzhou in the yard, Shen Nian opened the gate and walked in.
She didn't know Secretary Qian and Minister Zheng, so she had to greet the village chief.
"Village Chief, you are here"
"Hey, Comrade Shen is off work. Let me introduce you to Secretary Qian and Minister Zheng from our town's Propaganda Department." The village chief was proud of the fact that such a big leader could come to the village to ask him for people. It was a sign of his importance to the Red Flag Commune, and he should be proud of it.
"Hello Secretary Qian, Hello Minister Zheng"
"These are the educated youth from our village, the educated youth from Chen Nian, and the educated youth from Nanqiao who live together."
"Hello, Shen Nian, the educated youth"
"Hello, Shen Nian, the educated youth"
"Brother Nanzhou, you guys chat, I'll wash my hands and go to the kitchen to help Qiaoqiao." When Shen Nian was talking to a few people, he saw Nanqiao busy in the kitchen, so he put down his things and went to the kitchen.
“These two have a good relationship,” Secretary Qian said, looking at Shen Nian’s back.
"Yes, these two girls have been inseparable since they came to the village."
"It seems that Comrade Shen will be reluctant to let Nanqiao go to town," said Lao Zheng jokingly
A few people smiled and said nothing else.
After sitting for a while, Nanqiao came out with noodles, and Nanzhou and Shen Nian helped to bring out the dishes.
"How about my cooking?" Nanqiao sat on a small stool, eagerly waiting for their comments.
Secretary Qian took the lead in scooping a spoonful of meat sauce and mixing it with the noodles. He stirred it and fried it.
Secretary Qian, who was always calm, looked a little out of control. "I didn't expect Nanqiao's cooking skills to be so good. This is even better than the cooking skills of the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
"Really? Then I have to try it." The village chief said as he picked up the noodles and tasted them. This was the first time he had eaten such delicious noodles in his life.
"Well~ Nan Zhiqing, your cooking skills are really top-notch. If you go to a state-owned restaurant, the chef will have nothing to eat."
"If it's delicious, eat more. There's more in the pot."
"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly," said Secretary Qian and Shen Niannanzhou.
After the meal, the whole pot of stewed vegetables and slim meat was eaten up, and everyone at the table was still not satisfied.
"After eating the food cooked by Nanqiao, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat other people's food in the next few days." Minister Zheng patted his round belly with satisfaction and said happily.
"How about this, let's all have dinner together in the small courtyard I rented in town in a few days. I don't know how many people will come today, so I made it a little casual. When you come the day after tomorrow, I will prepare a good table for everyone."
"I won't go. You young people can get together," Secretary Qian said first.
"I won't go either. I'll wait for the educated youth Nan to come back to the village. If I have a chance, I'll try your cooking skills again," said the village chief.
"That's no problem," Nanqiao said, turning his gaze to Old Zheng.
Receiving Nanqiao's gaze, Lao Zheng said with a smile, "Hey, I must go. Just tell me what kind of meat you need. I'll bring my own food."
"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about food, just bring your mouth and stomach with you."
"No problem," said Lao Zheng with a smile. He loves to eat, and now he has such delicious food, how can he miss it?
After having a full meal, they had to go to work in the afternoon, so Secretary Qian and his friends said goodbye to Nanqiao and left.
When the village chief returned home, Aunt Gaixian came to greet him anxiously.
"Well, is it settled? Is the educated youth Nan really going to the town?"
"Of course, Secretary Qian came in person to ask for her, so why wouldn't he let her go?" Although the village chief said this, he was still happy that she could go to the town.
After all, Nanqiao's household registration is here. It is an honor for the village to be transferred to the town by the secretary.
"But...but if Nan Zhiqing goes to the town, will she come back? What about our Junjun's malted milk?" Aunt Gaixian said with a worried look on her face.
"I have to come back. The educated youth Nan is still in the village these days. I'll go over and ask him when I have the chance. But this is also about asking for help from others. If you can do it, then it's fine. If you can't, then you can't force it."
"How can that be? She has already promised me, how can she not give it to me?" Aunt Gaixian said stubbornly.
"Look at what you are saying. People are helping us out of kindness, but they are doing something wrong?" The village chief frowned as he listened to his wife's words.
"What do you mean? Is it my fault that I asked her to buy malted milk? If I wasn't worried that Junjun wouldn't have enough to eat, I wouldn't have done that!" Aunt Gaixian became more and more angry.
"Alright, alright, you'll know when you wake up this afternoon. What's the point of guessing here now?" The village chief saw that his wife was becoming more and more unreasonable, and he was too lazy to argue with her, so he washed his face and went back to sleep.
After having such a delicious lunch at noon and having the honor of Secretary Qian coming in person to ask for the person, his best mood was ruined by his wife's words. He was also very depressed.
On the other side, Nanqiao sent Secretary Qian and his men away, then sat in the yard with Nanzhou and Shen Nian and started talking.
"The village chief has made his decision. I, Xu Xi, will have to prepare for my living quarters during this period. I will report to the compound by next Monday at the latest."
"Ah, you are leaving now, I really don't want to let you go," Shen Nian said with a sullen face.
"I'll be back. You can come to town to find me when you have some rest and stay for a night." Nanqiao pinched Shen Nian's cheek and said
"Okay, I'll come find you after I take a break." Shen Nian instantly became happy when he heard Nanqiao say this.
"So do you have anything to move? While I'm here these few days, I'll help you move all your things over," Nanzhou asked.
"It's nothing, just take your clothes with you, and leave the rest of your bedding and toiletries here. When the Youth League Center is cleaned up, I'll come back and move everything in."
