As mentioned earlier, Zhao Jinju came home from Shanghai, and of course the family was very happy, especially Sun Erniang, who watched her daughter grow up day by day and became a Peugeot girl. The chest can already hold up the clothes. Jin Ju is nineteen years old this year, and is known as the twenty-year-old in rural customs. It is the age of marriage and marriage. But because of reading, it was delayed. Now that my daughter is not studying, she is coming home, and the matter of talking about marriage is on the agenda again. Zhao Jinju really has nothing to do - it's her parents who don't let them do it. One day, Sun Erniang stared at her daughter and asked, "Jin Ju, which kid from the Zhang family hasn't come back!" ”

"You're asking about Zhang Ping'an from Zhangjiaqiao Town, right?" Zhao Jinju calmly said to her mother: "Mother, alas! People have names and surnames, don't call any kid, it's not good! ”

"Yo! Teach your mother a lesson, aren't you getting along with him? Sun Erniang said jokingly.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, he's going out in tandem!" Zhao Jinju listened to her mother's words and told her not to approach Zhang Ping'an, but she didn't take the initiative to approach, Zhang Ping'an invited her to go in tandem, but she didn't go. How can you get along with him? Erniang is really, Zhao Jinju is still a little embarrassed, the young man is thin-skinned, and when he talks about things between men and women, his face is flushed.

"What are you anxious about? Isn't my mother afraid that you will fall into it! Seeing that her daughter's face was red, she hurriedly said: "It's good not to go in series, a big girl's house runs outside to go crazy, and my mother is not at ease!" Go home and have a good rest at home! ”

"Good, good! Mother! I'll help you sell tea today! "Zhao Jinju has been back for a few days, and she has nothing to do at home all day, except for last Sunday, when she went to play at her mother's house, she never went out again.

"Yes, I have something to do today to go to your eldest mother's house, so you can go to the tea pavilion!" After that, the mother and son took hot water bottles, teacups, etc., and went to the tea pavilion together. Sun Erniang explained a few more words and went to her sister's house.

Sun Yanzi's sister is called Sun Yanying, also known as Aunt Sun. Husband Zhou Wenbin, not Zhou Wenbin, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, has different sounds. Just an out-and-out farmer. The home is only three miles away from Zhangjiaqiao Town. Zhouzhuang is located about four miles northwest of Zhaozhuang. Both of them are from the production team. He has a son and a daughter.

His son Zhou Tai studied for several years and dropped out of high school before graduating. One is that I can't read; The second is that they don't want to read it. If you don't want to read it, you won't read it. Since childhood, he has been naughty, likes to fight, and has a little morality. I learned a few handicrafts from Master Zhou Hong in the village, and I have two sons in the township. Now he works as a security officer in the commune, and Jiang Zhongliu, the son of the director of the commune, is a middle school classmate.

Director Jiang named his son Zhongzhong, saying that he did not seek to be motivated, and was willing to live in Zhongzhong. Jiang Zhongliu is willing to accept it, isn't there a folk song that says: "Three points are good, three points are good, no repeating grades, no make-up exams"! Most of his academic performance is three points (on a five-point scale), and only his physical education score is five points, which is the same as Zhou Tai. These two became good classmates and good friends. Jiang Zhongliu is very envious of Zhou Tai's two sons, and the two of them are like brothers. However, Jiang Zhongliu did not refuse to go to school, Director Jiang disagreed, and Jiang Zhongliu graduated from high school. There is no hope for Jiang Zhongliu University to go on. But jobs are still available. Just relying on Director Jiang's face, it is not a problem to arrange a bar person in the commune. Jiang Zhongliu worked as a security officer in the town's machinery factory.

There are only three people in the security section, and he is second only to the section chief. Once against the section chief, he actually pushed a hand, the section chief was on all fours, and he couldn't get up for half a day. One of the three members of the Security Section left, and only two remained. There is also an honest person who only does things, and he is an officer who is promoted among the workers and then transferred to a job. The factory department wanted to arrange someone to take over the position of section chief, but after mobilizing a few people, none of them were willing to go. The position of section chief had to be vacant.

The position is sitting, Jiang Zhongliu sits up, and he doesn't care if he has a name or not. For example, there is a meeting of middle-level cadres in the factory, and the security department has to go to someone to listen to it, who will go? The river is flowing! Although he was not a section chief or a middle-level cadre, he participated in the middle-level cadre meeting. There are also people who are called Section Chief Jiang, and they are really not used to flowing in the middle of the river at first, after all, they are not section chiefs. But I slowly got used to it, and I said yes from time to time.

To be fair, Jiang Zhongliu was not appointed section chief. But he's still dutiful. In other words, he did the work of the section chief, which is not bad. The factory leaders are also satisfied.

The Town Machinery Factory is an affiliated factory under the Town Commune, which produces a little agricultural tool - simple machinery. The main task is the repair of agricultural machinery. The factory is not big, and there are very few people who don't know Director Jiang, and there are no people who don't know Jiang Zhongliu. The factory director is very sensible, and he can take a fancy to the middle class, and he has done the work of the section chief, so he will be given a chance to be the acting chief of the security section. Didn't he act as section chief a long time ago? Why do you need to be an agent? It's hard to say what happened in officialdom.

Of course, Jiang Zhongliu was very happy, and Director Jiang was also very satisfied. He encouraged his son to strive for the upper reaches and never wander in the middle again, and taught his son to demand political progress and join the party organization as soon as possible...

Jiang Zhongliu was still obedient and really worked hard. He did not forget his classmate Zhou Tai. often mentioned Zhou Tai in front of his father, saying good things about Zhou Tai, saying that he knew martial arts, and could he arrange an errand for him in the Armed Forces Department of the Commune. Don't say that Zhou Tai is really lucky, he is running into a shortage of people in the Commune's Armed Forces. Minister Yu of the Ministry of Armed Forces has made several requests, saying that the militia lacks helpers in training. With this request, Director Jiang was giving his son a favor and said, "Wow, tell him to come to the house tomorrow to have fun!" ”

Coming to play is essentially an interview. It is convenient to come to the house to receive gifts. Zhou Tai is not afraid of the interview, although he is not very tall, he is strong, five short and three thick, like a farmer and not like a farmer. There is a heroic look, and he is not afraid of interviews. I heard Jiang Zhongliu say that if he wants to go to his house to play, I'm afraid he won't go empty-handed. Zhou Wenbin and his youngest daughter discussed it and decided to bring two cigarettes. And it can't be too obvious, so I carry it in a school bag.

The weather was fine on this day, it was a sunny day. In May, the temperature is not too high. Zhou Tai has been here, but he has never met Director Jiang. I came here today by Director Jiang, so I must be at home. When he entered the door, Zhou Tai found that the living room had been fanned. Director Jiang was reading the newspaper to enjoy the coolness. Zhou Tai shouted under Jiang Zhongliu's introduction, "Uncle Jiang! Zhou Tai thinks that it is more intimate to call uncle than to call director.

Director Jiang looked up at Zhou Tai, then at his son and said, "Not bad!" Sturdy than the middle class! He didn't ask about other situations (Jiang Zhongliu had already said other situations), and said: "Young man, when you become an officer in the armed forces, I have entrusted you, do a good job, and have a chance to improve in the future!" ”

In this way, Zhou Taijin was an officer of the Armed Forces Department of the Commune.

Don't forget to dig wells. For the Zhou Tai family, how can they forget Jiang Zhongliu, the great benefactor? Especially Aunt Sun, she often reminds her son to be good to Jiangzhongliu. Once Zhou Tai said: "What is a good law? We don't work together! At the same time that Zhou Tai asked his mother, he suddenly said "ah": "Mother, Jiang Zhongliu hasn't found a partner to marry!" Introduce him to someone! ”

"Jiang Zhongliu hasn't found a partner yet?" Aunt Sun seemed to be asking rhetorical questions and talking to herself. So Aunt Sun immediately thought of her niece Zhao Jinju.

Sun Erniang came to the Zhou family at the call of her sister. He who delivered the message only said that something was going on, but he didn't say anything. The sisters were more affectionate than usual when they met, so Sun Erniang was a little confused, so she asked, "Sister!" What are you looking for me? ”。

The eldest lady looked at her sister and said, "Sister! Happy event, happy event! ”

Sun Erniang was even more confused. Then he asked, "What kind of happy event, my nephew is getting married?" ”

Aunt Sun said: "He, it's early!" It's only been a few days since I started working, and I want to get married! I haven't found anyone yet! I'm talking about your family! ”

No matter how Sun Erniang reacts. Aunt Sun opened her wishful thinking one by one. She believed that her sister would agree to this family affair, and her niece would be very satisfied. In the countryside, it is the envy of others for a girl to marry a job and marry into the city, not to mention that Jiang Zhongliu is the son of the director of the commune, an official, and a state cadre (there is a question mark over whether the official of the commune-affiliated factory is a state cadre). Therefore, Aunt Sun thinks that it is a great joy for her sister's family.

Aunt Sun didn't think that Zhao Jinju is a college student now. Sun Erniang didn't think that her daughter was still a student at school. I don't know that college students are not allowed to fall in love, but Sun Erniang is still a little self-aware, and she is afraid that she still can't be the master of her daughter. Therefore, she only agreed with her sister's words, but she should not suck it. The reason is that marriage matters have to be discussed with my daughter! Anyway, the two sisters got together and had endless homely conversations. Aunt Sun warmly entertained her sister, stayed for lunch, and gossiped until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when Sun Erniang thought of going home.
