Chapter 22

Chen Zezhong's house, the living room.

"I'm afraid our fourth daughter is safe with each other, and this incident caused a lot of trouble."

Jiang Xiaofang stretched out her hand to warm herself by the fire, with a sad face.

Chen Zezhong wore glasses, read a newspaper, and said unhurriedly:

"I think Ping'an is a good kid, honest and responsible, hardworking and down-to-earth, besides, Xiuzhen has the right ideas."

"I've been living a poor life these years, and it's hard to meet someone who is tempted. Let's not set up too many obstacles."

"You don't want Xiuzhen to be a widow for the rest of her life, do you? From my point of view, if Xiuzhen really wants to marry Ping An, she can't suffer!"

Jiang Xiaofang frowned and said: "Jiang Ping'an is famous for his solid eyes, and he doesn't know how to adapt to things. Oh, he still has the strength."

"Such a person just farms the land and does some coolies. How much can he achieve in his life?"

Chen Zezhong put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, glanced at her and said:

"You still don't believe me when you say you are short-sighted. If he is really like the outsiders say, he won't come to our house today."

"He is clumsy on the outside and good on the inside, and many people underestimate him. This kind of person is only missing a chance, and when the opportunity comes, he will rise to the top."

"You don't understand others, you don't understand Xiuzhen, if it's really bad, can you get her eyes?"

Jiang Xiaofang sighed softly: "Forget it, I am old and dim-sighted, and I don't bother to worry about Xiuzhen's affairs, lest I do bad things with good intentions."

……

"Let go, tell you to let go, woo..."

Chen Xiuzhen patted Jiang Ping'an's shoulder lightly with both hands, almost crying in anxiety.

Jiang Pingan couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, this is a normal reaction, I won't read your jokes."

As he spoke, he pulled out his hand and picked up a ball of snow on the ground to scrub.

Chen Xiuzhen took a few deep breaths and almost fell to the ground, she quickly tightened her belt and straightened her clothes.

Then turned his back to Jiang Ping'an, shyly, and whispered:

"It's okay, don't mention it in the future, it's so embarrassing!"

"Don't mention it, never mention it!" Jiang Pingan scrubbed his hands quickly, straightened up and said:

"It's getting dark, I'm going home, you should go back earlier!"

Chen Xiuzhen turned around, hummed lightly, and said affectionately:

"Be careful on the road and remember to write to me often."

"There will be a few days off for the Chinese New Year. I will go back to my mother's house to celebrate the New Year. Don't forget to come and find me."

Jiang Ping stepped forward and gave her a light peck, then nodded and said:
"Don't worry, even if you don't come back, I will visit Uncle Chen during the Chinese New Year."

"That's it for today. When you come back from the New Year, I can't let you go easily!"

"Hmph, I haven't agreed yet, let's see how you behave!" Chen Xiuzhen wrinkled her nose and said.

Jiang Pingan smiled, called Hei Zi, waved his hand and turned to leave.

Chen Xiuzhen reluctantly watched him disappear into the wind and snow, and secretly sighed.

Although both of them were born in rural areas, she now has an urban household registration and is a city resident.

So her mother's worry is not unreasonable. If the two want to be together, many specific things will be involved.

And when the two were making out just now.

Although Jiang Pingan didn't say it clearly, she would never marry a widow, which made her a little worried.

It's hard to find a good one.

It's another old classmate who grew up together, and she knows everything, and she is reluctant to give up.

……

The snowy road was difficult, and Jiang Pingan staggered on the snowy ground with a sunspot in his hand.

Not to mention, with a scarf around the neck, it is indeed much warmer without the wind and snow pouring in.

"It's really not easy to enter the city." Jiang Ping'an was thinking about something.

He had asked Chen Xiuzhen earlier, knowing that life in the city has been difficult for the past few years, so he is reducing the number of staff.

Many people who flocked to the city in previous years were driven back to the countryside.

Now when you go to the city, you must either study and be assigned a job, or have a skill and be accepted by your unit.

The first thing is to have a job. If you don't have a job, you can't apply for an urban hukou.

The problem is that most jobs now give priority to urban residents.

It doesn't matter if you don't have skills in the countryside. You can't find a job in the city at all, so you can't transfer to an urban hukou.

Moreover, the household registration index card of each unit is extremely strict, and there are ten units each year, which is considered a very large unit.

Small units only have two or three quotas per year, which does not mean that units can receive them casually if they want to.

"Think slowly! I still don't believe that a living person can be suffocated to death by urine!"

Jiang Pingan let out a breath, thinking in his heart.

Back to the tenth production team, it was dark.

It gets dark early in winter, and it snows again, so the daytime is cloudy, let alone the evening.

Jiang Pingan took Heizi to Jiang Dahai's house, intending to report on his visit to Chen Zezhong's house today.

After thinking about it, he took a pack of Economy brand cigarettes, a catty of salt, and a bar of soap from the space when he passed by the back of the person.

Jiang Dahai has been busy working on his business and will be his introducer, so he must thank him with a gift.

The loose wine was only one catty, and it was gone after being given to Chen Zezhong.

Salt and soap are also good substitutes, which are the necessities of life that can be used.

"Here is Ping An? Have you eaten yet?" Jiang Xindong, Jiang Dahai's youngest son, squatted on the roof with his buttocks up.

Jiang Dahai has two daughters and four sons.

Except for the youngest son, all the daughters are married, and the sons are all married and separated.

"No, I just came back from the first team." Jiang Pingan looked up and asked with a smile, "The tiles on the roof are broken?"

"Really? The room I slept in has been dripping water these two days." Jiang Xindong nodded and frowned.

"I wanted to wait for the sunny day to fix it, but I didn't expect that the more it dripped, the more I couldn't wait."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Then you are busy, I will talk to Uncle Dahai about something."

"Go, my dad is cleaning the rabbit's nest in the woodshed." Jiang Xindong nodded.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, and walked to the door of Jiang Dahai's firewood house.

Seeing that Jiang Dahai was busy cleaning the rabbit nest, he said casually, "Are you busy, uncle?"

"You are..." Jiang Dahai looked back, saw Jiang Ping'an holding something in his hand, and frowned.

"I'm going to Uncle Chen's house today..." Jiang Ping'an gave a rough overview of his visit to Chen Zezhong.

"I have already written the application. Uncle Chen said that he will bring up this matter at the next branch meeting."

"Uncle Dahai was busy with my affairs, so I bought some things to express my heart, don't think the things are shabby!"

Jiang Dahai stared and waved: "Take the things back! It's ridiculous, you treat me like an outsider!"

"No, Uncle Dahai, you must accept the things." Jiang Ping'an said hastily.

"If you don't accept it, next time I have something to do, I'm sorry to bother you."

After several pushes, Jiang Dahai couldn't turn it around, so he had no choice but to accept the things.

"You, you, you are not allowed to see outsiders like this in the future!" Jiang Dahai said cheerfully.

"By the way, I have something to tell you. Chen Mazi has recovered from his illness. You don't have to go to the pig farm tomorrow."

"But I can't let you idle, you have a big appetite, I have to find ways to make you earn more work points."

"Zhou Dazhu, the shepherd of the production team, will go to the commune to attend a three-day training the day after tomorrow, and needs someone to help him watch the sheep for a few days."

"The shepherd has eight work points a day. If you are free, go and look after the sheep for a few days. Is there any problem?"

"The day after tomorrow? No problem!" Jiang Ping'an agreed.

It doesn't matter if you work or not, now is the time to be active when you join the organization.

Besides, going to the sheep pen is the same as going to a pig farm, and you can also catch some and raise them in the space for breeding. This is a rare opportunity and should not be missed.

Jiang Dahai said happily: "Okay, come to me the morning after tomorrow, and I will take you to hand over work to Zhou Dazhu."
