Qian Shulan invited everyone to eat, and said to the female police officer, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some at random."
The female police officer glanced at the table and sniffed, "It smells so good. I'm full before I even eat."
Seeing her start to pick up the dishes, Qian Shulan also called Deng Xingming.
Because it was late yesterday, they just had a simple meal.
She picked up a piece of fried leek and eggs with chopsticks, "Your sister said you like this, eat more."
Deng Xingming was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at his little sister who was eating with her head down, and curled his lips, "Thank you, auntie."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Yunping slapped him. Her mouth was full and she couldn't speak, but she stared at him with her eyes wide open.
After she finished her food in a few bites, he scolded her, "You should call me mom."
Deng Xingming subconsciously looked at Qian Shulan. Seeing that she was looking at him with a smile, he pursed his lips and called out softly, "Mom!"
Qian Shulan sighed softly, "Okay!"
Then she picked up some food for him and said, "You have grown up. You must take good care of yourself in the future. I am old and cannot always be with you. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me to help you think of a solution."
The female police officer ate and said vaguely, "I'm in trouble."
This is so tactless! Deng Yunping complained in her heart, picked up a piece of food for the female police officer with chopsticks, and made small talk, "By the way, what's your name?"
The female police officer slapped her head and said, "Look at my memory, I haven't even introduced myself yet!" Then she put down the chopsticks in her hand and sat up straight.
When everyone looked at her, she said to them seriously, "My name is Jiang Shengnan, I'm 19 years old, from Liuguan County, and I work as an ordinary police officer in the police station."
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "You have a great name!" It's very feminist.
Jiang Shengnan's back, which had been straight just now, immediately bent when she heard this. She agreed with Qian Shulan's words with a sense of complacency, "That's right! My mother gave me this name. It sounds nice."
Deng Yunping also nodded in praise.
Qian Shulan called everyone, "Eat quickly!"
"Auntie, where did you get this dish?"
Although the dishes on this table are all vegetarian, leeks and green vegetables are rare ingredients, and the department store is scrambling to buy them. Their family only eats them once every ten days or half a month.
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "I brought this from the countryside. My fourth daughter-in-law knows how to grow greenhouse vegetables, so I asked her to help me plant two rows. I brought some with me when I came."
Jiang Shengnan's eyes lit up, "Are the fresh vegetables in our department store provided by your production team?"
Qian Shulan nodded, "Yes!"
Jiang Shengnan immediately became interested, "Aunt, your production team is so great, I wish I could go and visit it someday."
Qian Shulan said without thinking, "Sure! When you have time, come to our production team to find me. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Deng Yunping added, "My mother is the director of a chicken farm. She has plenty of eggs!"
Jiang Shengnan's eyes lit up when she heard this. The supply in the county has dropped sharply, and each of them can only get one pound of eggs per month. Eight or nine eggs, fried for two meals, are gone.
Jiang Shengnan immediately vowed, "Aunt, I must visit your production team." She secretly thought, if nothing else, at least she could buy some eggs and bring them back!
The smile on her face was particularly bright. Qian Shulan and Deng Yunping looked at each other and said, "Okay! You can buy eggs too."
"Okay, okay!"
After finishing the meal, Jiang Shengnan took out the food coupons from her pocket, put them on the table and said to Qian Shulan, "Aunt, the food you cooked is so delicious! Thank you so much!"
Qian Shulan saw her take out a pound of food coupons and said, "It's just a meal, and you're still so polite."
Jiang Shengnan shook her head. "That won't do. I'm a police officer. I can't take anything from the people."
Qian Shulan was embarrassed to see that she couldn't refuse. "I can't give you the money. How about I bring you some red dates when you leave?"
When Jiang Shengnan heard about red dates, her eyes lit up, "Great, great!"
Qian Shulan handed her the red dates she had brought. "These are from the tree behind our house. I dried them."
Jiang Shengnan pinched one and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and tasted really good.
She took the small bag of dates handed to her by Qian Shulan and left the Qian family.
After the others left, Qian Shulan and her group also wanted to leave.
They have been here for a week for this matter.
I came here by bike, but it was a bit troublesome to go back.
The bicycle couldn't carry so many people, so Deng Xingming said, "I'll just walk and catch the bus!"
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go for a walk first. Maybe we'll run into a carriage heading back to the countryside."
So, Deng Xingming pushed the bicycle, Xiaomin sat on the back, Qian Shulan and Deng Yunping followed behind.
When we arrived at the square, the place that had been empty for half a year was packed with people again.
The group could only walk along the periphery of the square.
Qian Shulan took advantage of the chaos to look at the platform in the center of the square.
She had good eyesight and could accurately see two people tied to a platform. Both of them had shoes hanging from their bodies and a large sign was hung on their chests with a thin wire. On the sign was the word "hooliganism" with a large cross through it. Below it were the names of the two people.
They lowered their heads and bent their backs. The clothes that were neat and clean yesterday became dirty and torn overnight.
Deng Yunping looked over there curiously, but because the distance was too far, she couldn't see clearly.
She muttered, "What are they criticizing over there?"
Qian Shulan glanced at Deng Xingming in front of her and saw that he was also looking at the stage curiously, so she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "It's Chen Xuanxuan and Xu Wenhou."
Deng Yunping subconsciously looked at Deng Xingming, and saw that he had turned his head away, and she felt relieved.
Deng Yunping said angrily, "Let's go! This is too unlucky!"
Qian Shulan took one last look at the huge crowd at the struggle session. The man on the stage raised his fist and shouted to the people below, "Down with that bitch!"
Deafening echoes came one after another. Qian Shulan sighed heavily and turned around to see Deng Xingming's body stiffened for a moment. It seemed that he had guessed who was on the stage.
Qian Shulan immediately diverted his attention and walked to Deng Xingming's side. "Your younger sister will go to work the day after tomorrow. I'll send her over then."
Deng Yunping was anxious and came over, "Mom, aren't you going to see me off?"
Qian Shulan put her arm around her shoulders and tried to comfort her. "Your brothers happened to be on holiday that day and went home. I'm going to stay home and wait for them."
This was the first time Deng Yunping heard about this. "Mom, when did you go to see my brother?"
"This morning, I went to see your fifth brother. He said that in two days, the whole country will have a three-day holiday, and they will all be back then."
Deng Yunping lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "It's a pity that I wasn't at home that day."
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "There will be plenty of time in the future."
By next year, this taut string should be loosened a little.
Qian Shulan and her group were ultimately unable to wait for a carriage that was going their way.
In the end, Deng Xingming had to ride his bicycle, take two of them for a ride, and then come back to take the remaining one.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the Wangjia Village Production Brigade.
Qian Shulan asked them to go home first while she went to return the bicycle.
He met Wang Shouquan on the way and told him about what happened to Chen Xuanxuan. The ups and downs of the story shocked this honest country man.
"Third aunt, how come the wives you married are all more capable than the last?" This is too vicious! They are so cruel that they force one woman after another.
Qian Shulan's mouth twitched, and she was powerless to refute. She glared at Wang Shouquan and said, "You still have time to complain about me. You should think about how to explain it to the people above you. It's so embarrassing for the production team to have such a thing happen."
Wang Shouquan rubbed his face. He was so unlucky. It was clearly those educated youth from outside who did it. How could it be blamed on their Wangjia Village
But there is no way, people have been placed in their production team, so naturally they have to share the honor and disgrace.
Wang Shouquan hung his head and said dejectedly, "Okay! I'm ready to accept criticism!"
Qian Shulan nodded and told him that she wanted to transfer her household registration.
Wang Shouquan was surprised. "Why did you transfer Deng Yunping's household registration to the county? There is no unit that can accept her grain and oil business."
Qian Shulan took out the job acceptance certificate issued by the department store. Wang Shouquan took it and looked at it. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. "Third Aunt, you are really amazing!"
Although this job came from a legitimate source, she was afraid that others would make blind guesses and think that she exposed the affair between Chen Xuanxuan and Xu Wenhou just for this job, which would be too bad.
In order to prevent others from having wild thoughts, Qian Shulan directly blocked the question, "My son-in-law helped me find this job."
Wang Shouquan also praised Fang Yonglin highly, saying that he truly treated Aunt Qian as his own mother. The New Year gift he gave her during the Spring Festival was unique in the entire production team.
I thought he was filial enough, but who would have thought he could actually help me find a job. This son-in-law is more than half a son, he is a full son.
Qian Shulan and Wang Shouquan arrived at the brigade warehouse, and Wang Shouquan issued a household registration transfer certificate.
Qian Shulan took the certificate back home. Seeing Deng Yunping cooking and Deng Xingming making fire, Qian Shulan felt very warm.
After finishing his meal here, Deng Xingming returned to his residence alone.
Qian Shulan held her chin with her hand, feeling extremely satisfied. It turned out that Deng Xingming's filial piety was increasing quite easily. After two meals, it increased by another two points, and now it was already seven points.
After this incident, his sense of right and wrong increased to five points.
It's just career value. It seems that he should be registered in their family. Otherwise, the dividends from the chicken farm have nothing to do with him.
Early the next morning, Qian Shulan told Deng Xingming about the settlement matter.
Deng Xingming was very surprised, and even a little flattered, "Mom, why is it so sudden?"
Deng Yunping, who was standing by, looked at him like a fool. "You are stupid. If you register as a hukou holder, you will be able to get a share of the money from the chicken farm. You can get a hundred yuan a year."
Last year, ordinary adults in the Wangjia Village Production Brigade who had never been short of work could get 124 yuan.
But Deng Xingming and Chen Xuanxuan were educated youth, so naturally they did not receive this treatment.
Deng Yunping's household registration had been transferred to her side a long time ago, so she naturally got a share of the money as well.
Deng Xingming understood immediately and became even more grateful to Qian Shulan, "Mom, you are really thoughtful."
Qian Shulan waved her hand and left with his household registration information.
Deng Yunping patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you really need to be more discerning about people. You can't assume that someone is good to you just because they say nice things. The key is to see what they do."
Deng Xingming seemed to be thinking about something.
"Look at our mother. Although she treats you in a normal way, she always does things for your own good. Think about Chen Xuanxuan and your foster mother. Apart from saying nice things, what have they done for you?"
Deng Xingming pursed his lips and frowned.
Deng Xingming no longer wanted to recall how Chen Xuanxuan treated him, as any further recounting would only bring back a history of blood and tears.
How did his adoptive mother treat him? Deng Xingming thought about how his adoptive mother treated him well when he was a child, but when her biological son was born, she became defensive and distant towards him.
Before he went to the countryside, his adoptive mother only asked him to take good care of Chen Xuanxuan, saying that she had a hard time and asked him not to forget her. But she didn't give him a penny, even if she lent him money, but she didn't, she just said some nonsense. My younger sister is right, he is really blind.
