After finishing the formalities, Chu Qianqian pulled Xu Guiju and Lao Duan out of the office and stood under the window at the end of the corridor.

whispered, "Aunt Xu, Brother Duan, you should know something about my daughter-in-law. I myself am now on a mission and often have to travel with my leader.

Therefore, whenever I come back from a business trip, I will go into the mountains. One is to take care of the old unit, and the other is that he is about to get married, and if he doesn't earn some money, it is not easy to raise children and honor his father-in-law's family.

How about we, as before, with big fish and game and some spices up on the streets? ”

Xu Guiju didn't know that between Chu Xiangqian and Lao Duan, he tacitly used the money from the small treasury in the street to buy the game and big fish that Chu Xiangqian got.

But Chu Xiangqian knew very well in her heart that if she didn't reveal some tricks to Xu Guiju, she would not necessarily accept the game she sent.

When she accepts it, it means that they have little secrets held by others, and it is easier to establish a relationship.

And it's going to be very strong.

Besides, even if Xu Guiju wanted to deal with herself, she didn't dare to make a fuss about exchanging the streets for game.

Otherwise, what she offended was Lao Duan, Director Cao, Duan Hongmei, and the streets up and down, and even the Xue family.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian was not worried at all about what trouble there would be after Xu Guiju knew about this matter.

Lao Duan frowned at first, but after thinking about it, when he looked at Xu Guiju, he saw her nodding to herself with a smile, and immediately understood.

said to Chu Xiangqian, "Okay, just follow the previous rules." However, I won't hand over the purchase of 100 yuan to Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian. ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, "Even if you want to hand it over to them, I don't feel at ease." Or? ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xiangqian's eyes had already looked at Xu Guiju.

Lao Duan's eyes lit up, and he explained to Xu Guiju in a low voice with a smile.

Xu Guiju was relieved after hearing this, the unplanned procurement funds of 100 yuan per month are a lot for individuals, but for a unit, it is very little.

Now it is 2 yuan per pound of meat, but it is only 50 pounds of meat, which is not enough for more than 20 people on the street to eat for a few days.

If you change it to a big fish, it's only 250 catties.

It was distributed to 26 people, and it was less than 10 catties per month, and it was only 3 taels a day.

But these 3 taels of fish are enough to satisfy everyone on the street.

Xu Guiju knew that if he didn't agree, he would inevitably be guarded by Chu Xiangqian, Duan Jidong, Xue Hongmei, and even the director.

"Okay, I'll take care of that."

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, "In the evening, I asked people to send 200 catties of dried fish and a seventy or eighty catties of air-dried and processed wolf meat to come." The wild wolf took it as a yes and thanked Aunt Xu and Brother Duan for taking care of my daughter-in-law in the future. ”

Duan Jidong and Xu Guiju smiled at the corners of their mouths, and Xu Guiju even patted his chest and promised, "If you put ten thousand hearts, your daughter-in-law will be my niece in the future, whoever bullies her, I will immediately go to the district to complain." ”

Chu Xiangqian was busy thanking him, and he also knew in his heart that after ordinary colleagues knew that Xue Jinglan was Xue Hongmei's niece and his Chu Xiangqian's daughter-in-law, no one would be stupid to find trouble with Xue Jinglan.

Those who dare to find trouble naturally have roots.

But Xu Guiju went to the district to complain, and the custody could make the other party unable to eat and walk around.

When the storm comes in a few years, Xu Guiju, a propaganda cadre, may have to gain momentum.

Build a good relationship with her, and many things will be simple in the future.

After the business was discussed, after hearing Chu Xiangqian say that he was going to find Xue Hongmei to catch up, Xu Guiju followed him to the office of the University of Public Security Science and Technology on the first floor.

When Xue Hongmei heard that Chu Xiangqian had already done Lan Lan's work, she hurriedly pretended to be dissatisfied, and said to Chu Xiangqian angrily, "Xiao Chu, are you not giving my aunt a chance to perform?" ”

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not that Aunt Xu saw that you had a lot of things, so she thought that you would find a subordinate to share some chores!" ”

Xu Guiju laughed, and secretly said that Chu Xiangqian is a good person, obviously he contributed, but he gave credit to himself, no wonder everyone on the street liked him.

After chatting for a long time, Chen Huaili, who heard the voice, came out of his office, and when he saw that it was really Chu Xiangqian, he smiled and shook hands with Chu Xiangqian as if he was an old friend reunited.

Then he took the opportunity to call him into his office and gave him an envelope.

Chu Qianqian saw that it must be filled with money, so he took it in a few seconds and put it in his pocket.

——

In the evening, Chu Xiangxiang followed Xue Hongmei to Xue's house for dinner, and the family heard that Chu Xiangqian had already taken care of Xue Jinglan's work, so they couldn't help but joke about the two of them.

Chu Xiangqian didn't panic at all, but Xue Jinglan lowered her head with a flushed face and picked up rice, but her heart was very sweet.

It's just that when I thought that Chu Xiangqian would have to leave tomorrow, my mood suddenly became bad again.

When the two went out for a walk at night, Chu Xiangqian found a place where no one was there as usual, and when he was bullying the little girl, Xue Jinglan was in a daze, hugged Chu Xiangqian's neck and muttered, "Brother Xiangqian, you want me!" ”

Chu Qianqian, who was holding the two peaks, was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Xue Jinglan continue, "I want to give you a child, and when you are not by my side on a business trip, I will take our child well." ”

What he said was sincere, Chu Xiangqian let go of the two peaks and hugged Xue Jinglan tightly, "Wait for me to come back, we will get married, and when the time comes, we will have three or five children, and the head that will make you be troubled by the children is too big." ”

Xue Jinglan pouted and patted Chu forward a few times, "The children I gave birth to must be good babies, not only will they not trouble me, but they will also help me take care of my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Seeing that Xue Jinglan's attention was diverted, Chu Xiangqian immediately fooled her about how difficult it was to raise a child.

Xue Jinglan couldn't help but be a little worried, but within a few seconds, the girl snorted, "Then I will only take care of the children's lives in the future, and you, the father, will be responsible for educating them." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Okay, okay, then I'll be responsible for beating the children, and you, the mother, are responsible for spoiling them." ”

Xue Jinglan slapped Chu Xiangqian on the shoulder a few times in dissatisfaction, and then frowned and asked, "Then what if I give birth to a daughter?" ”

"I actually prefer my daughter", Chu Xiangqian's words are really not false, he is a person with modern thinking, and he doesn't care if it's a son or a daughter.

Moreover, more children are also encouraged in these years, and after ten or twenty years, it is normal to have seven or eight children.

can't be the same as Hong Zhennan, who was unlucky enough to give birth to six daughters, and only got a baby son in his 50s.

On the contrary, families with only one or two children are outliers.

Xue Jinglan thought that Chu Xiangqian was just comforting herself, so she put her pretty face on Chu Xiangqian's chest and muttered, "I will definitely be able to give birth to several sons, and when the time comes, if you bully me, I will let my sons help me." ”

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, could it be that a few boys still dare to beat their father?

The two muttered until late at night, and then reluctantly returned to Xue's house.

But when she arrived at the door, Xue Jinglan took Chu Xiangqian's hand, "Brother Xiangqian, why don't I go and pack your luggage for you tomorrow morning?" ”

Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." ”

"No, no," Xue Jinglan said with a smile, "The last time I had dinner with Aiyuan, she told me that you live in Nanluoguxiang. Tomorrow morning, I will ride my bicycle over and buy some fritters and buns for breakfast for Aiyuan, Aiguo and Aimin. ”

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that the little girl felt that she was a sister-in-law and had to learn how to take care of her sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

After kissing Xue Jinglan, she used her pocket as a cover-up, and took out a stack of 10 yuan a piece of money and a dozen 5-pound food stamps from the carry-on storage space.

Xue Jinglan said in surprise, "When I'm not at home, you can go and play with Aiyuan if you're fine." You may also invite those who love aid, love the country, and love the people out to dinner.

Also, when you encounter festivals, you will send something to my second and third uncles, as well as your grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles on behalf of me.

Also, my monthly ration, you and Aiyuan will go to receive it together.

If there is not enough at home or on the side of my second or third uncle, you can bring it back or let the patriot and the people send it back to the forest farm.

However, don't go to the things you gave to my second and third uncles, so as not to be unsafe, you know? ”

Xue Jinglan happily took the money and tickets, and counted them casually, there were twenty-four pieces of money, that is, 240 yuan.

As for the food stamps, there are also 85 catties.

He asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Brother Qian, have you always carried such money and food stamps with you?" Or is it that you use the money and tickets when you go on a business trip? ”

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly said, "I originally wanted to leave the money in your hands, but I couldn't find a suitable reason before. Since you little girl wants to have a baby for me.

The family's money and tickets will naturally be handed over to you, the mother. ”

Xue Jinglan's face turned red, and she writhed in Chu Xiangqian's arms embarrassedly, but she carefully put the money and tickets into her pocket as if she had drunk honey.

The two of them were tired of it for a while, until the lights in the house were turned off, and Xue Jinglan realized that it was very late.

Cautiously opened the door, and seeing that there was really no one on the first floor, he turned around and hugged Chu Xiangqian's neck and kissed him for a while, before he reluctantly sent Chu Xiangqian out.

As for pulling him into her room to live, no matter how bold Xue Jinglan was, she couldn't do it.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Chu Xiangqian woke up early, and entered the novice village as usual to brush up all the wild monsters that had been refreshed.

Get up and go out to practice boxing, and when Ai Yuan gets up, tell her to cook some millet porridge and Xue Jinglan to come back in the morning.

Aiyuan's face was happy, "Brother, does this mean that you and your sister-in-law are really determined." ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "I discussed with your sister-in-law's parents, and when she celebrates her 18th birthday, I will go to get the marriage certificate." The date of the treat is also set on the seventh day of the tenth lunar month this year. ”

Love and aid are overjoyed, and hurriedly run to the backyard to call up the country and the people to dress up and dress up, so as not to leave a bad impression in front of the future sister-in-law.

However, in the end, Aiyuan is more sensible than ordinary peers, and although he is happy and wants to scream, he repeatedly explains that he loves the country and the people, and does not publicize it everywhere.

even rolled his eyes, and explained that he loved the country and the people to go upside down to cook millet porridge, and he changed into clean clothes and ran to the alley to wait for Xue Jinglan.

If Xue Jinglan came early, she would take her around the neighborhood, and when the people who went to work were basically gone, she would take her to the courtyard.

lest any young man with no eyesight pester his future sister-in-law.

If Chu Xiangqian knew his sister-in-law's thoughts, he would definitely laugh and scold.

He and Xue Jinglan are just one step away, and they are all like this, so they don't have to worry about which young guy or eldest lady will rob their daughter-in-law with themselves.

Chu Xiangqian practiced boxing in the front yard for more than 20 minutes, but he didn't see Aiyuan come back with Xue Jinglan, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The immediately flew out of the courtyard according to the instructions, and after more than ten seconds, Chu Qianqian showed the sight of the and saw Aiyuan pulling Xue Jinglan to stay on Di'anmen East Street, sitting at a table outside a breakfast shop and drinking soy milk.

While eating, the two of them muttered and didn't know what they were talking about.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, and when he thought about it, he knew that it must be Aiyuan who didn't know what the hell he was doing.

But the better the sister-in-law gets along, the better it will be for herself.

"Brother, how long will it take for my sister-in-law to come over? Why don't I go to Brother Zhu and ask him to help me and Aimin take a leave? ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't tell the country and the people about leaving today, and no one else in the courtyard knew about it.

Even Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e don't know when he will leave.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, "Okay, you talk to the pillar." ”

Not long after, Silly Zhu ran over and asked, "Forward, Director Xie said that he wanted to invite you to the factory for a meal tonight, do you have rice and free?" ”

Chu Xiangqian knew that it was related to game meat as soon as he heard it, shook his head and said, "I don't need to eat, I have something to do these days." But if he wants game, I'll get some in the morning and let the patriots and people take them to the factory.

The money also allowed the two of them to bring back.

However, this matter must be hidden, and you will find out for yourself.

lest the three masters and the people in the courtyard think that I don't help them.

If the next time I come back and I hear rumors in the yard, don't try to get anything from me next time. ”

Silly Zhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and then asked in a low voice with a smile, "How much meat can you get?" ”

"Are two wild boars and two wolves enough?"

"Really?" Silly Zhule almost jumped up, "Enough, enough, I'll go to Director Xie to report the good news." ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about him, and when the stupid pillar left, he ordered the patriot and the people to call Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang to the east wing.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang also knew that Chu Xiangqian could get pheasants and hares, but in the past few days, no news has reached the courtyard.

Chu Xiangqian's trust in the two of them couldn't help but increase a lot.

After a while, the four boys entered the house, and Chu Xiangqian ordered, "After I go out to finish my business in the morning, you will wait for me at the old locust tree by the Jade River." ”

The four of them nodded hurriedly, and Chu Xiangqian saw Liu Guangtian's chicken-like hair, and scolded with a smile, "Go back and wash, and then dress neatly, lest my future daughter-in-law see you and think that every one of my people is decent." ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to come back to their senses, and asked in surprise, "Brother, are you looking for a daughter-in-law?" ”

Chu Xiangqian scolded angrily, ", it's not normal for me to find a daughter-in-law, now go back to wash up immediately."

Also, don't tell anyone about it, so as not to frighten your sister-in-law. ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang nodded hurriedly, and while running home to wash up, they still thought in their hearts, should they take out the new clothes from last year's New Year?

Half an hour later, the people who should go to work basically left, and Aiyuan entered the courtyard with Xue Jinglan, who was pushing a bicycle.

The aunts and ladies in the yard, because they are colleagues who love to help, just praise this girl in their hearts for being so handsome.

That's not bad either.

The height is a little taller, and although the ass is not big, the chest is very majestic.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a good birth.

The three mothers almost wanted to ask Aiyuan if this girl had any in-laws, so that she could introduce her eldest son, Yan Jiecheng.

Fortunately, Yan Jiefang's eyes were quick and he grabbed his own mother.

Otherwise, just thinking about Chu Xiangqian's angry appearance, Yan Jiefang's heart was trembling.

"Mom, don't make a mess, the girl is so beautiful, and she has a watch in her hand, look like this, the bicycle is also hers.

It's weird to be able to take a fancy to my brother.

Besides, this girl is Sister Aiyuan, and she plans to introduce her to Brother Qian.

If you annoy him, don't say that my brother is getting more and more unlucky, even my dad has to take the initiative to admit his mistake. ”

The three mothers were shocked, and then secretly rejoiced that the second son had pulled her.

Then he sighed with emotion, "How can any good thing be done for the eldest son of the Chu family!" ”

Yan Jiefang hurriedly dragged the three mothers home, seeing that Chu Xiangqian did not plan to trade wild meat with the street by himself, but borrowed his own and Liu Guangtian's hands.

This is a great thing for myself and for Guangtian.

It may not be long before you can go from a temporary worker to an apprentice with a knitting job.

At that time, it will be a serious worker, and the salary will be able to rise from 10 yuan to 18.

At this time, if anyone provokes Chu Xiangqian to be unhappy, it is his enemy of Yan Jiefang.

Seeing Yan Jiefang's threat that if he caused trouble, the future salary would not be handed over to the family, and she immediately relented.

When Yan Jiefang left home and came to the east wing, he saw Xue Jinglan holding a pair of leather shoes and handing them to Aiguo.

Le's patriotic mouth smiled crookedly, and his mouth kept saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Xue Jinglan's face was slightly red, but she was very happy in her heart, and secretly said that her three sisters and brothers were not only directors, but also kind and obedient.

Subsequently, he sent a pair of sneakers to Aimin, and Aimin was also busy calling his sister-in-law.

When Xue Jinglan set her eyes on Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, she couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, and then looked at Chu Qianqian.

Aiyuan took the initiative to put his arm around Xue Jinglan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about these two boys. Besides, my brother didn't mention them to you beforehand, so naturally he didn't have any gifts from them. ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang secretly said that it was a pity in their hearts, but they echoed it again and again.

Chu Xiangqian, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "Today, your sister-in-law will go to the street to report and work in the archives department."

In the future, the two of you will be diligent, move things, clean the office of the University of Public Security, and fetch hot water, all of which will be handed over to you, do you know? ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were overjoyed, patting their chests and promising to take care of Xue Jinglan.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Okay, go to the upside-down room for breakfast, your sister-in-law and Aiyuan bought a lot of fried dough sticks, steamed buns and soy milk." ”

The four patriots couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and they went to the upside down room with a roar.

Chu Xiangqian got up and said, "Your aunt and sister-in-law can just pack some coats for me, and when I go on a business trip, I will send other things to the top."

By the way, Aiyuan, I will give your sister-in-law a key to my side later, lest she come to you that day, but you haven't gotten off work yet, and you are waiting in the yard stupidly. ”

Aiyuan said that it was good, but in his heart, he had the idea that his eldest brother was about to be snatched away.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian's authority in her heart is big enough, and after thinking about it twice, she feels that she is very talkative, and she does not look down on her sister-in-law as a country girl from the mountains.

immediately felt that the eldest brother marrying her was the best choice.

With a smile, he hugged Xue Jinglan's arm again, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to my brother's house first, you clean up first, and I'll get you the key." ”

Xue Jinglan's face turned even redder, but her steps were not slow to enter the back room with Aiyuan.

After sweeping his eyes, he saw that the room was as clean and tidy as the living room outside, and his mood immediately became more and more comfortable.

Brother Murmur is indeed the same as he said, he is a careful, clean-minded person.

When Chu Xiangqian was cleaning up the house for his daughter-in-law and cousin, he said to the two of them to go out.

He called out Aiguo and the other four and asked them to wait on the other side of the Yuhe.

I got on my bicycle and went out for a walk, found a place where no one was, took out two bamboo baskets, and first loaded 200 catties of dried fish and a piece of air-dried wolf meat cut into four large pieces.

While riding his bicycle to the Yuhe River, he made a phone call to the street and the logistics of the rolling mill in a public telephone booth.

Let them send a car back to pull things.

Xie Zhende had just heard about the game from the mouth of the stupid pillar, and as soon as he received a call from Chu Xiangqian, he said that he would personally follow the car to pick up the goods.

Duan Jidong is the same, but the only jeep on the street has been requisitioned by Director Cao all the year round, and it is basically in the district.

I could only call someone and ride two bicycles to the other side of the Jade River.

Chu Qianqian went to Yuhe and handed over the two baskets to Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang.

Then I went around again, took two bamboo baskets with decomposed and processed wild boars and wolf dried meat and returned them to the old locust tree again, and handed them over to the country and the people.

"You will follow back to the unit in a while, and after you get the money, you will hand it over to your sister-in-law for safekeeping, do you know?"

Naturally, there is no problem with loving the country and the people, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang hesitated for a few seconds, but they still didn't dare to say half a 'no'.

At the same time, the two also realized that Chu Xiangqian really liked Xue Jinglan.

"By the way, that dried wolf, leave it to Lao Duan to deal with, don't ask, don't talk too much, do you hear?"

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang knew that there was something greasy in it as soon as they heard it, but how dare the two of them talk more, let alone that as long as they don't enter the accounts on the street, there is not much of a problem.

Chu Xiangqian thought that it would be fine, but when he took Xue Jinglan, who helped him tidy up his salute, go to the street to report the way, and Xue Jinglan, who will officially go to work tomorrow, entered the street, and was stopped by Duan Jidong.

"Forward, 200 catties of dried fish is good, but if you go on a business trip for two months, it will be a bit insufficient. Moreover, the street is your old unit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even your mother's house.

You gave the rolling mill two heads, 460 catties of wild boar and more than 200 catties of wolf jerky, but only gave us 200 catties of dried fish, which is a bit excessive! ”
