Chapter 43 Building a Good Relationship with Nephew
"It just so happens that Uncle Zhang and I are in charge of the food factory sector. Not only the Black Province, but other provinces and cities will also build corresponding factories, and there is indeed a reason why we applied to come to Dajiang Village. "
Xu Wanning knew that she was the reason.
It's not that she is narcissistic, it's just that the original person was really favored at home, and Uncle Zhang did remember the original person who was alone in the Black Province these years. These can be glimpsed in the letters from her parents.
"So, did Uncle Zhang and Second Brother set their sights on Dajiang Village because of me, or did they come here specifically because they knew the address of the factory would be in Dajiang Village?"
It seems like There is not much difference between the two, but if you taste it carefully, the difference is huge.
Xu Maoting smiled and did not answer the question.
The purpose of their coming to Dajiang Village is indeed related to the little sister, but if Dajiang Village does not comply with the rules of building a factory, they naturally cannot use the back door because of the little sister.
This is their responsibility.
Therefore, we cannot reveal too much information until everything is settled.
Seeing this, Xu Wanning didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked about things at home.
"My uncle and aunt are in good health. My eldest brother got married three years ago, and my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to twin sons..."
Xu Maoting told Xu Wanning everything about the family, as if he were familiar with the family's treasures.
It is not limited to Xu Wanning's small family, but the situation of the entire Xu family.
As she listened, Xu Wanning felt an impulse surge in her heart.
She really wanted to go home and visit her parents and brother.
Just at this time, Mother Lin came in with two bowls of brown sugar and egg water.
"Brother, young man, you two eat some of this to warm yourself up first. I'm going to go to the chicken soup now, and I'll stay at home for dinner later."
Minister Zhang calmly kicked Xu Maoting under the table . Mao Ting immediately said: "Auntie, don't bother. We will leave after talking to Wan Ning for a while, and we have to go to the commune. It's too late and it's not safe on the road."
"This..."
"Mom, Uncle Zhang and Second Brother We still have a few more days to stay in Jiang City. We have a long time to come, so don’t worry about this day."
"Okay, okay, Wan Ning, you can spend some time with your family."
After Mother Lin left, Xu Maoting took a sip from the bowl. Brown sugar egg water.
It's very sweet, so sweet that it shows that Mother Lin is not stingy.
"How is your mother-in-law treating you?"
"Okay, very good!" Xu Wanning nodded firmly: "I have been married to the Lin family for several years, but I haven't done much work, and my mother-in-law has never looked down on me. Brother, look at the clothes I'm wearing, it's a cotton-padded jacket made by my mother-in-law. It's very warm."
When Xu Wanning said this, Xu Maoting noticed that she was wearing a navy blue cotton-padded jacket.
He asked why he always felt something strange after seeing the little girl. It turned out to be the reason for her clothes.
In the past, when I was in Beijing, my little girl was very particular about how she dressed. She never wore a cotton-padded jacket. No matter how cold it was in winter, she would always wear a woolen coat bought from the Friendship Store.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law often sends foreign exchange bills back, otherwise she may not be able to satisfy her.
But now, the little girl is wearing a dark-colored handmade cotton jacket, and her feet are also cotton shoes, instead of the small leather shoes with high heels before.
Although her appearance and temperament are unique in Dajiang Village, she is different from the person she grew up with.
Xu Maoting couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He was a little distressed, but more of a relief.
At least, the smile on the little girl's face doesn't seem to be fake. She seems to like her current life very much.
At this time, Minister Zhang's assistant knocked on the door outside, "Minister, Deputy Director Xu, it's already four o'clock."
It usually gets dark earlier in Heilongjiang Province. There is still a long way to go from Dajiang Village to the commune. If we don't hurry up, we will leave. It will be dark soon and the road will be difficult.
"Okay, let's leave first."
The three of them left the main room. Mother Lin, who was wearing an apron and having a chicken soup, immediately came over and said, "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, we still have to hurry up in time. " "Go to the commune before it gets dark."
"I also said that I would let you have a meal at home, but if you do this, I won't let you stay. But before you leave, you must have a meal at home. I have everything at home. I'm settling in." "
No problem, sister-in-law. We will have a quick meal at home after work is over."
"Okay, okay!"
Xu Wanning sent Minister Zhang and Xu Maoting to the door. The assistant had already driven the car outside Lin's house. On the road, not surprisingly, there was another circle of villagers surrounding them, pointing at the Lin family.
"Then let's leave first." Xu Maoting subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub Xu Wanning's head, but Xu Wanning avoided it with quick eyes and hands.
"I finally tied up my braids, second brother, please don't mess them up!" Now she could finally understand Yaomei's hopeless mood every time her hair was rubbed.
Xu Maoting smiled but didn't think much about it.
He looked around, but didn't see the two villains. Not to mention, he felt vaguely disappointed.
They say that nephews follow uncles, but he is the first uncle they meet, so they must have a good relationship, right?
But he still has to stay in Dajiang Village for a few days. If he doesn't worry, he can always find opportunities to establish good relations with them.
"Then let's leave first. The next time we come to Dajiang Village is not yet certain, but as long as we come, we will definitely come to you."
"Yeah!" Xu Wanning nodded vigorously and watched as Minister Zhang and Xu Maoting got into the car. Keep waving.
She stood there and breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw the car driving away.
Her heart had been hanging just now, so Minister Zhang didn't say anything. She had never seen the original person a few times, and she didn't know what his personality was.
But Xu Maoting is different. He is six years older than the original person. It can be said that he has watched the original person grow up and understands the original person's character very well.
But she and the original person have completely different temperaments, and she is really afraid that Xu Maoting will notice something strange.
Just as she was lost in thought, Xu Wanning felt her trouser legs being pulled twice.
"Mom, has uncle left already?" Dachun was holding something in her arms, but it was covered by a cloth bag, so she couldn't tell what it was for the moment.
"Yes, they still have to go to the commune before dark."
"Will uncle still come?"
"Of course!" Xu Wanning said firmly: "I will come when uncle finishes the work at hand."
Dachun breathed a sigh of relief, Holding the cloth bag like a treasure, "Then I'll give it to my uncle when he comes next time."
Xu Wanning's curiosity was aroused, "What's in your bag?"
She reached out to take it, but it was too big. Chun avoided it: "This is a secret between Yaomei, my uncle, and I. I can't tell you!"
