Chapter 20 Chen Zezhong's Affirmation

Chen Zezhong's family is in good condition.

The furniture is complete, including chests of drawers, Eight Immortals tables, stools, bookshelves, and lockers.

Although they are a bit old, they have been cleaned spotlessly.

There are portraits of great men, calendars and various awards on the wall, and a stack of newspapers and a few books that have been read are placed on the table.

After sitting down, Chen Zezhong smiled and said, "Yesterday Dahai came to me for your business. I heard from him that you want to join the organization?"

"Yes, I feel that there are many shortcomings, and I want to pursue improvement, so I told Uncle Dahai."

Jiang Pingan sat down respectfully and answered seriously.

Chen Zezhong said with a smile: "That's good, I know you quite well, you are a very outstanding young man."

"You have a junior high school culture, you are meticulous in your work, and you have a good mass base. The organization welcomes progressive young people like you to join."

"They are not outsiders. After Dahai came to tell me about it, I fully support it and am willing to be your introducer."

As for the other introducer, it was Jiang Dahai.

An application to join the organization must be introduced by two official party members and approved by the branch meeting or the upper-level committee.

And after a one-year preparatory period, you can become a formal party member.

Jiang Ping stood up to thank, and Chen Zezhong waved:

"Don't rush to thank, you have to study first, work hard, unite the masses, and only after passing the test can you join the organization."

Jiang Pingan said seriously: "I am always ready to accept the test of the organization!"

"Yes, you have a correct attitude, that's very good!" Chen Zezhong nodded in satisfaction.

Then he took a small red leather book from the table and handed it to Jiang Pingan, telling him:
"Memorize this by heart, and then seriously write an application and hand it to me."

"If you don't know how to write, you can ask Xiuzhen. She is also a party member and knows how to write an application."

……

in the library.

Jiang Pingan wrote the application seriously, while Chen Xiuzhen sat aside and gave instructions.

The faint scent of snow pollen lingers in Jiang Ping'an, and it smells particularly nice.

Heizi was so bored that he took a nap under the stool.

"I work at the post office and have been married for three years."

Chen Xiuzhen pursed her lips and said with a shallow smile, then her eyes darkened, and she continued:
"My guy is a college student, a ninth-level engineer, unfortunately..."

"What's the pity?" Jiang Ping'an paused, tilting his head in doubt.

Chen Xiuzhen sighed and said, "It's a pity that I died in an accident the year before last."

"That is to say, you are a widow now?" Jiang Ping'an blurted out, but felt that it was inappropriate to say so, and said quickly:

"Sorry, country people can't speak."

Chen Xiuzhen shook her head and smiled wryly: "You are right, I am indeed a widow now."

"You have such good conditions, why don't you find another one?" Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's a new era, and we don't want to be widows! By the way, do you have any children?"

Chen Xiuzhen shook her head and said: "If you can't find a suitable one, you can't be high or low, so you just procrastinate like this."

"There is no child. After we got married, men often travel on business, get together less and leave more, and we haven't had time to have children."

Jiang Pingan nodded slightly and said, "Your conditions are so good, you really can't let it go, it's normal to have a higher vision."

"Don't worry, you are beautiful and educated, I believe you will find a good husband."

"Giggle..." Chen Xiuzhen giggled upon hearing this.

Glancing at Jiang Ping'an, he asked with a smile, "How about you? How many children do you have?"

"Me? Not married yet!" Jiang Pingan replied casually.

"I have a big appetite. One person eats as much as five people. Even if I marry a wife, I can't support myself."

Chen Xiuzhen came to a sudden: "I forgot that you have a big appetite since you were a child, so you plan to stay single like this forever?"

"What should I do if I don't want to be alone? I want to marry a wife, but I have to have conditions!" Jiang Pingan sighed softly.

After a pause, he added, "So now I'm in a hurry, and I'm trying to make progress, hoping to develop better."

"I remember your grades were better than mine when you were in junior high school. Why didn't you continue to study in high school?" Chen Xiuzhen asked puzzled.

Jiang Ping'an: "When I was about to graduate from junior high school, my mother passed away due to illness, so I can't support myself by farming?"

At that time, the villagers actually persuaded the original owner to continue his studies, saying that he would have a better future after being admitted to a technical secondary school or high school.

And everyone is willing to pool money and food for the original owner to study.

But the original owner was too sincere, he didn't want to owe too much to others, and he didn't have much ambition, so he didn't go to school anymore.

Chen Xiuzhen sighed lightly: "It's such a pity, if you went to a technical secondary school, your income would not be low now."

"Marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a few fat boys, and you can still support yourself."

Jiang Pingan nodded and hummed, then went back to writing the application.

After writing a few words, he stopped writing again, turned around, and said curiously:

"I've been wondering, what's the matter with you smelling delicious?"

"Is it the food in the city that feeds people? Does the breath smell good?"

"Pfft!" Chen Xiuzhen was instantly amused, covered her mouth and smiled pretentiously, rolled her eyes and said:

"Idiot, I put snow powder on it. The food eaten by city people is no different from that eaten by country people."

"Don't say this to anyone in the future, it's so ridiculous! Giggle..."

"What is snowflake powder?" Jiang Pingan pretended not to know, and asked with a blank face.

Chen Xiuzhen glared at him and said, "You're just kidding me, aren't you?"

"Even if you haven't used snow powder, I still don't believe you haven't heard of it."

Jiang Ping'an didn't pretend anymore, just smiled, leaned forward and whispered:
"This smell is too fragrant, can you let me smell it carefully?"

"Okay, I'll bring it right now so you can smell it enough." Chen Xiuzhen nodded and said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan hurriedly said, "Don't, I just want to smell your face..."

"Bah! So you're making such a crooked idea?" Chen Xiuzhen blushed and said coquettishly.

Then he got up and said in a panic, "You can write the application yourself first, and I'll read it for you after you finish writing it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the study.

"Hey, Widow Chen... she looks very moist!" Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.

Smiling, Jiang Ping'an pressed his mind and continued to write the application form.

noon.

Jiang Pingan stayed at Chen Zezhong's house for dinner.

Three dishes and one soup, one stir-fried shredded potato, one stir-fried Chinese cabbage and one steamed bacon, plus a tofu soup.

The staple food is steamed corn bread.

Obviously, knowing that Jiang Pingan eats a lot, Jiang Xiaofang steamed a lot of steamed buns when cooking.

When eating, Chen Xiuzhen always lowered her head and didn't speak, occasionally sneaking a glance at Jiang Ping'an.

I haven't seen her for many years, not only has she changed drastically, Jiang Ping'an has also become more majestic and handsome.

When Jiang Ping'an was standing at the door in the morning, Chen Xiuzhen's eyes lit up when she saw him.

Later in the study, she was teased by Jiang Pingan again, which made her peaceful heart suddenly messed up.

Chen Xiuzhen was thinking about something, not knowing how to finish a meal.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Jiang Ping'an had eaten more than a dozen buns by himself, and he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.

"No wonder I dare not marry a wife. In this situation, it would be nice to be able to support myself!" Chen Xiuzhen thought to herself.

On the contrary, Chen Zezhong was full of praise: "It is a blessing to be able to eat. If peace is placed in ancient times, it will definitely be a general!"

"Uh, I can't stop talking when I move my chopsticks." Jiang Pingan said awkwardly.

Then with a smile, he looked at Chen Xiuzhen who was staring at him.

Chen Xiuzhen took a sneak peek at Jiang Ping'an, and when he found out, her face blushed, her eyes flickered, and she lowered her head...
