Ye Qingyin is actually very conflicted.
From a leadership perspective, Jiang Yun does a very good job. When a leader wants to give advice to his subordinates, he won't be so direct, but will mostly give hints.
Standing in Xiao Wu's mother's position, Jiang Jun was already a little far from the standard of being the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. When she saw Jiang Jun smiling and talking softly to another man, she immediately felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Xiao Wu is not at home, and Xiao Jiang lives alone in the dormitory over there. He speaks in such a coquettish tone when meeting people. What's going on?
Jiang Jun felt a little embarrassed when Ye Qingyin said this. He lowered his head, hiding his emotions. After several seconds, he replied softly, "Aunt Ye, I will pay attention and won't do this again next time."
Ye Qingyin's voice was slow and stern: "Where are you going with Xiao Zhang?"
Jiang Jun still lowered his head: "Go to my dad's place."
She had no choice. Furniture like beds, tables, and cabinets were not something that could be bought easily. She asked Chen Yuanwu's comrades to help her in order to save Jiang Yonghua some money.
Besides, she didn't expect to suddenly take on the translation task, so if she didn't go back to live at Chen's house, Ye Qingyin wouldn't know.
Ye Qingyin frowned. This was how girls from poor families were. They always wanted to stay close to their parents for everything. "When are you going?"
"He told me to wait for his call."
"Wait for a call? He knows where and when you're staying?"
Jiang Jun pursed her lips and said, "As long as I'm not in the dormitory, I'm either in the staff quarters or here."
Ye Qingyin was annoyed. No matter what happened, the whereabouts of her future daughter-in-law couldn't be known so clearly. Why did she always have people coming to her house? "Xiao Jiang, next time you encounter something like this, you should first ask the person when he can go. Then you can plan your own time, call him before you go, and arrange where to wait. You are a woman, you can't always let other men call you everywhere!"
Jiang Jun thought, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this? Whether it's a man or a woman, they were talking about serious matters. Just because their voice was a little softer on the phone, they made such a big accusation! He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I know."
Ye Qingyin looked at Jiang Jun's silent little movements and became even angrier: "Xiao Jiang, you have too many little expressions when you speak. This is rude. Change it."
Jiang Jun thought he had restrained himself enough, but he didn't expect that he still had so many little flaws that he hadn't even noticed. He immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Ye Qingyin added: "Don't think I'm picking on you. I'm doing this for your own good! When you go out to work, you'll be wronged many times. If you don't pay attention and people misunderstand you, it's not uncommon for them to wrong you, not to mention being wronged!"
"Yes!" Jiang Jun could only listen attentively.
Ye Qingyin continued to lecture him: "Whatever you do, you must use your brain and have a scale in your heart. If you make faces and pout, it means you are not convinced. If you are not convinced even by your leader, who else can you expect to help you? As long as the leader suppresses you, everyone else will follow suit and squeeze you, and you will have no way out in the future."
This is Ye Qingyin's philosophy of life.
Jiang Jun knew that this was the life experience summed up from different eras and different social environments. Although he did not fully agree with it in his heart, he still respected Ye Qingyin's choice very much.
Jiang Jun used honorifics and deliberately restrained his facial expressions: "Aunt Ye, I understand what you mean!"
This time, he finally satisfied Ye Qingyin and stopped nagging: "It's good that you understand. If you understand, you should do it. You haven't started working yet, so you still have a chance to correct your mistakes. Once you start working, you won't have a chance to correct your mistakes! Okay, pack up and go to Dean Wang's house for dinner."
Jiang Yun secretly sighed: "Auntie Ye, please wait a moment, I will go change clothes immediately."
As long as Ye Qingyin doesn't complain about her heart discomfort, she can just go to someone else's house for dinner. It's better to be asked all kinds of questions than to be taught a lesson here.
Dean Wang specially added two extra stir-fried dishes to the dinner at his home: "Director Ye, this is Xiao Jiang's first time eating at our house. You see, we don't have anything prepared. Don't be offended! I'll make a hearty meal at home another day to make up for it!"
Ye Qingyin waved her hands. It was purely an accident that she came to this dinner. "Why are you being polite? We are so familiar with each other. We are not strangers. Why should we talk about whether the meal is rich or not?"
Hong Hao looked at Jiang Yun and smiled warmly, "Xiao Jiang, where are you from? You look much younger than me!"
In such an occasion, Ye Qingyin would not speak up for Jiang Jun - if Jiang Jun answered well, it was because Xiao Wu had good taste. If Jiang Jun answered poorly, they, the old ladies, would have a common topic to talk about when they sat together and scolded their daughters-in-law.
Jiang Jun smiled: "I was born in Gao County and I'm nineteen years old this year."
Hong Hao exclaimed, "You're not even twenty yet? How did Xiao Wu convince you to...um...get married?"
Dean Wang interrupted Hong Hao: "Xiao Hao, Xiao Wu is two years younger than you. Look, he's already found a partner and got married!"
Hong Hao rolled his eyes at Dean Wang and said, "Mom, we're talking about Xiao Jiang right now. What are you talking about? Why do you associate me with anyone finding a partner or having a child?" He turned and asked Jiang Jun, "Ignore my mom. Just talk about your own things."
Jiang Jun laughed awkwardly, "Actually, we're not married. I just thought that when Chen Yuanwu is not home, I can take care of Aunt Ye. Otherwise, the three of them will be in the army, and Aunt Ye will be left alone at home, without anyone to ask about her well-being."
Hong Hao tutted his words, "Xiao Jiang, I can't tell. You're quite talkative despite your young age. Of the three siblings, only Xiao Wu cares about them. Yue Jin and Xiao Jing don't know how to do that. It's better for Aunt Ye to keep them in her thoughts all the time."
Jiang Jun quickly tried to smooth things over: "No way? When Xiaofei and Xiaojing were home, Aunt Ye was so happy and in such good spirits."
Hong Hao asked again: "What do your parents do?"
Jiang Jun caught Ye Qingyin's slight displeasure from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "My dad has changed his job and is now working at the Ping County Cultural Bureau."
Hong Hao nodded. "Oh! Your dad is in the army too? Then why are you so polite and elegant in your speech and so good at dressing up? Do you take after your mom?"
Jiang Jun remained calm. "I take after my dad. I have the same looks and temperament as him. His colleagues used to know whose daughter I was the moment they saw me. "Little Hagi, you don't look much like Aunt Wang. Do you look more like your dad?"
Hong Hao laughed out loud: "Yes, I look a lot like my dad. When I was a kid, I wanted to run away from home, but I would be sent back after walking twenty steps out of the yard!"
Ye Qingyin was most averse to other people talking about the topic, so Jiang Jun easily diverted the target.
