Jiang Jun listened with great interest: "What about your grandma's house?"
Chen Yuanwu pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't have any relatives from my grandmother's side at the moment."
For the safety and future of her family, Ye Qingyin concealed many things and kept her mouth shut, so tightly that even Chen Zhong didn't know much about it.
Chen Yuanwu had lived with his mother since he was young and knew Ye Qingyin best. He had never asked about anything about his grandmother's family, but he had secretly guessed about his mother's background from the knowledge his mother taught him.
Jiang Jun raised an eyebrow: "Not yet? Will it pop up later?"
She always thought that Ye Qingyin was a descendant of royalty and nobles, and that arrogance was engraved in his bones in his words and deeds.
Chen Yuanwu chuckled: "Anyway, when we hold the wedding, our family will be these relatives in Beijing, as well as my current leaders and comrades, those classmates and former comrades. If we meet them, we will invite them, and if we don't, forget it."
Jiang Jun covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. Is this the law of attraction? Why was she so lonely in her original time and space? But after traveling to this time and space, all her family members, brothers, sisters and relatives still lived far away from her.
Chen Yuanwu stretched out his large hand and gently stroked Jiang Yun's long hair. "Who are you going to invite? Your father? Your uncle?"
Jiang Jun stretched out his palm and counted on his fingers, "I have a lot of people to invite: my dad, Lan, Liu'er, my uncle and aunt, and, oh, Li Caixia..."
Although Jiang Yonghua is divorced, in Jiang Yun's subconscious mind, she still hopes that Jiang Yuan and Li Caixia will appear at her wedding. That is her long-awaited wish.
Unfortunately, she couldn't ask Chen Yuefei to bring Jiang Yuan to the capital, so she could only wait for the opportunity.
Chen Yuanwu felt relieved. These down-to-earth relatives would definitely stand on his side and persuade Jiang Jun to get pregnant and have a baby as soon as possible.
In the end, Jiang Jun regained her sanity and agreed to live alone in the courtyard, and then go back to live with Chen Yuanwu on weekends.
Unexpectedly, the wind and snow were particularly strong in this cold winter. Chen Yuanwu took on a temporary task and went out, so Jiang Jun obediently went to work and work overtime.
Everyone's appearance changes according to their mood, and Jiang Yun's cheerful face attracted the attention of her colleagues.
After all, the nature of their work is that they receive serious, sad, and distressed people who want to solve their problems, and they are faced with heavy expressions. As staff members, in addition to adhering to work principles, they must also have empathy in order to work as usual.
In the 1970s, apart from the instructors or political commissars in the army who did ideological work, there were very few people in local or national departments who specialized in ideological work, and colleagues rarely communicated with each other on how to improve and balance the pressure brought by work.
Jiang Yun discovered that her colleagues, especially those at the grassroots level, all had compassion but did not understand what empathy was, and often transferred the pressure and negative energy of work to themselves.
In the corridors or yards of the office, nine out of ten colleagues she met did not smile.
And she is the remaining half of the person who knows how to smile in the eyes of her colleagues.
Secretary Qin used to be Jiang Yun's supervisor and was quite familiar with her personal situation. "Jiang, why do you go to and from get off work alone lately? No one comes to pick you up?"
Ever since Jiang Jun started working here, she has always been accompanied by someone during interviews, and the people who pick her up and drop her off at get off work have changed two or three times. In the past half month, she has been going alone, and even the old security guard found it strange. When he met Secretary Qin, he couldn't help but nag her.
Jiang Jun was very grateful for Secretary Qin's guidance on her work. She had also met Secretary Qin's family and the car he drove belonged to the highest-ranking unit under his direct supervision. Hiding the truth or being mysterious would only disgust people. "I'm getting married. He's been busy with work lately, traveling and decorating the new house. I'm taking some time off here to buy other things so I don't get in the way."
Secretary Qin considered himself knowledgeable, but was still surprised by Jiang Yun's frankness. He said tactfully, "You're not very old, so it seems your marriage leave won't be long."
Jiang Yun smiled faintly, "Originally, I didn't want to get married so soon, but my husband Chen insisted on having a wedding so that his company could allocate us an apartment. So I don't plan to take wedding leave, and I don't want to announce it to the company either. I'm just telling you quietly."
Secretary Qin was stunned for a moment: "Why not make it public? Report your marital status to the company, and you will have a share in the dormitory and housing allocation in the future."
Jiang Yun was puzzled. "Isn't it always based on the man's preference when allocating houses?"
This is the good thing about the 1970s. As long as you work in a state-owned unit, you will be given a dormitory. If a couple works in the same unit, they will be given priority for larger houses. If a couple works in different units, the house will be allocated based on the man's unit.
Secretary Qin explained, "Our company has great benefits. Whether you're eligible for housing or not, as long as you have a home, you can submit a report to the company and apply for housing allocation. I heard that two courtyards near Yanda were recently expropriated as housing benefits for our employees. Have you been to Yanda? It's beautiful. If you can apply for a house, you can go for a walk in the Yanda courtyard after work. The environment there is very nice."
Jiang Jun's eyes widened: "Yan Da!"
Well, she has acquaintances at Yanda University!
What should I do? Should I apply?
Secretary Qin noticed Jiang Yun's hesitation and said, "Think about it yourself!"
Secretary Qin has been working in this unit for ten years. He has seen new and old colleagues come and go. Only Jiang Jun has been looked at differently by Minister Su and is the one whom he wants to focus on training.
Jiang Jun did not refuse and went back to discuss it with Chen Yuanwu with a smile - the leader's words were never a bad thing, and even if she did not accept them, she could not refuse them in person - what's more, Secretary Qin was really considering the dormitory issue for her.
Speaking of Yanda, Jiang Jun thought of her middle school math teacher, Teacher Cao. She had collected two large boxes of teaching and research materials for Teacher Cao and placed them in the courtyard. She even took them out to prepare lessons for Li Caixia.
Unexpectedly, she thought about it during the day and dreamed about it at night. She had just found Teacher Cao's notebook a few days ago and was thinking about going to Hong Qiu to ask about the teachers at Yanda University.
After so many years, I wonder how Professor Cao is doing, whether he is still at Yanda, and whether his three treasures are still there.
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for Jiang Yun's wedding.
When Chen Yuanwu returned to his position from out of town, the first thing he did when he got home was to call Jiang Yun: "Yun, I'll pick you up after get off work today. Wait for me at work and don't go home yet."
Jiang Jun's heart was beating like a drum. They had been on the phone every day, but after not seeing each other for more than ten years, she was already as excited as a girl.
