Seeing that she was confident and knew exactly what she was going to do, Old Man Zhong finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
"That's fine, as long as you know what to do. Go back then. Come visit me and your aunt some other day when you have time."
After saying goodbye to Old Man Zhong, Jiang Shanshan picked up his packed things and left the place where he had his first job since he came to this era.
Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away behind her, to be honest, she felt a little reluctant.
After leaving the waste collection station, Jiang Shanshan did not return to Niujia Village, but went to the meat processing plant to find Xu Shike.
As soon as she arrived, Jiang Shanshan said to the gatekeeper with a sweet smile on her face, "Uncle, I'm looking for Xu Shike. Could you please call him out for me?"
She had originally thought that she would need to say a few nice words before the old man would help her, but just as she finished speaking, she heard the old man's enthusiastic voice, "You are Director Xu's wife, right? You are so beautiful. No wonder Director Xu always praises you so much. He has good taste."
Jiang Shanshan hadn't expected this to happen. After a moment of hesitation, he asked a little embarrassedly, "Uncle, do you know me?"
As the old man dialed the number, he told her, "Although we have never met, Director Xu has said a lot about you. So, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were the beautiful and capable daughter-in-law Director Xu mentioned."
Jiang Shanshan blushed a little when the old man praised her.
At this moment, the old man's outgoing call was connected. Soon, he stopped talking and said to the person on the other end of the line, "Yes, yes, Director Xu, your wife is here. Yes, yes, can you come out to pick her up now? Okay, just come to the mail room. Your wife is right here. Don't worry, I will take good care of her for you."
After hanging up the phone, the old man stroked the small tuft of mustache on his chin and sighed, "It's good to be young, and relationships are good too. Hey, even though my wife and I were introduced to each other, we had a good relationship. We had four sons and three daughters. Unfortunately, the economy didn't improve in the past few years, and my wife died of illness. Now I'm left alone."
Jiang Shanshan felt mixed emotions as he listened to the old man's nostalgia and complaints.
"Uncle, don't be too sad. People still have to move forward." After thinking about it, she could only think of this sentence to comfort others.
"Girl, you are right. People should always look forward." As soon as he finished speaking, the old man talked about the mooncakes Xu Shike gave him during the Mid-Autumn Festival with great interest.
"Oh, Director Xu is so nice. I've worked here for several years, but this is the first time I've met someone as nice as Director Xu. He actually gave me several mooncakes. Although our factory also distributes mooncakes, there aren't enough for my children. But it was because of Director Xu's mooncakes that my married daughters came back to see me during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."
Just as the old man was talking happily, Xu Shike ran out of the factory.
"Director Xu is here." The old man stopped talking and greeted Xu Shike happily.
Xu Shike smiled and nodded at him, then took a cigarette from his pocket and put it into the old man's hand, "Thank you, uncle."
