Eating melons

After saying that, Jiang Qi looked at Ning Lanzhen with a quirky look, "Do you know how much money I made in the first six months of last year when I went to the countryside?"

Seeing her daughter's quirky behavior, Ning Lanzhen's tears stopped and she asked cooperatively:

"How much did you earn?"

“Last year, when the farm distributed money, I earned over a hundred yuan in just six months, which also provided more than half a year’s supply of food.

If I didn't mostly eat refined grains, I wouldn't need to buy grain at all.

So the calluses on my hands aren’t because life in the countryside is too hard. I just wanted to do more, so don’t worry about it.”

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family was completely stunned. Jiang Qi had mentioned these things in bits and pieces in his letters before, but not in so much or in such detail. He usually just glossed over them.

But the things written in the previous letters can still be connected to these, so the Jiang family still believes this very much.

The Jiang family was really relieved to hear Jiang Qi's words. Jiang Qi has really grown up.

And it didn't grow crooked, and the biggest credit goes to the little girl Wei Wei.

The Jiang family had a good impression of Wei Wei before, and now they like that little girl even more. If they have the chance to meet her in the future, they must thank her very much.

Ye Li looked at the sister-in-law in surprise, "Does your team have so much fine grain? Can you eat fine grain every meal?"

If this is true, her younger brother from her mother's family may have to go to the countryside next year, and she can send him there then.

"That's about right! Because the more you work, the more you earn, and we have a farm, so the team is quite prosperous.

Seeing that there are rewards and that they can get tangible benefits, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally increase, more wasteland will be reclaimed, and more food will be produced. This is a virtuous cycle.

As for fine grains, although the brigade has them, we certainly cannot buy so much of them so blatantly.

The main reason is that Weiwei's boyfriend has some connections and can get these things. Every once in a while we ask him to buy a lot of fine grains.

As for the leftover coarse grains, there was a female educated youth in our group whose family conditions were not particularly good. We usually asked her to exchange for the full quota of fine grains, and then we would exchange the coarse grains with her for the fine grains.

It's the same when we usually buy things. We pay and let her go through the motions. In this way, it's really no problem for her to eat fine grains every meal.

As for meat and eggs, our brigade has a farm and we can just buy them directly from there, so there's no shortage of them at all. As long as you have money, you can even eat eggs with every meal."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li and Miao Su felt a little envious. Having eggs for every meal was something that even a family like theirs couldn't do because eggs were limited and they didn't have that many egg tickets.

This sister-in-law is so lucky. She is spoiled by her family at home. Originally, people thought she would suffer a lot if she signed up to go to the countryside, but she unexpectedly ended up in a blessed place. Her life is really amazing.

However, although Ning Lanzhen understood, she was reluctant to let her daughter go to the countryside to suffer for a few more years.

After all, they are so far away, and as the saying goes, you don’t know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, so Ning Lanzhen is really worried.

“It’s nice there, but you can’t stay in the countryside forever, you have to come back eventually.

And although the farm work is done as much as you can, you still have to go to the fields and be exposed to the sun and rain, so it is better to come back, at least you don’t have to go out in the sun and rain.

Also, who says the only way to get your family back is to find you a job? There's actually another way, and that's marriage."

Speaking of this, Ning Lanzhen grabbed Jiang Qi's hand and said, "I wonder if you still remember Brother Zhang from your Uncle Zhang's family?

When you were a kid, you always followed people around and kept clamoring to be their wife.

He later joined the army and has now become a company commander at a young age.

I heard from your Aunt Zhang that he will come back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year this year. Why don’t you try to meet him?

Mom doesn't necessarily want you to marry him, I just want you to try getting along with each other first and see if you are suitable for each other.

If it is suitable, you can apply to accompany the army after you get married.

Whether you want to stay at home or go with the army, it's up to you. I'll find you a job wherever you are. What do you think?"

After saying that, Ning Lanzhen looked at Jiang Qi expectantly. Both Ning Lanzhen and Jiang Jianshe were very satisfied with the youngest son of the Zhang family.

They have seen this person before, and can even be said to have watched him grow up. He looks upright and has good character. He is not the kind of person who hides his evil intentions or acts cunningly.

The job is okay. I have a position at a young age and the future is good. The only problem is that the profession is a bit risky.

But this doesn't seem to be a big deal considering the other advantages.

The main thing is that the two families know each other well. If it works out, it won’t be difficult to get along with Jiang Qi’s future mother-in-law.

When a girl wants to get married, the man's conditions are secondary. The main thing is to consider the man's family. If the mother-in-law is difficult to get along with, she will not marry him no matter how good the man is.

But the Jiang and Zhang families knew each other well and were well matched, so naturally they didn't have such worries.

Ning Lanzhen was very satisfied with the Zhang family's conditions and really wanted Jiang Qi to go and take a look.

"Nannan, not only do I want to transfer you back, but you are not young anymore and you are old enough to get married. We can discuss these things together.

Now that we are younger, we have more options to choose from. In a few years, there won’t be so many to choose from, and the good ones will have been picked up long ago.”

Secondly, she really wanted Jiang Qi to come back and didn't want her to suffer in the countryside.

The most important thing is that she was afraid that Jiang Qi would be cheated in the countryside. After all, Jiang Qi's record was there.

In the past, she was cheated by girls. If she was cheated by a man in the countryside, even if her family was capable, they would be unable to do anything about it. So Ning Lanzhen was really worried.

However, Ning Lanzhen couldn't help but explain because she was afraid that Jiang Qi would think too much and think that they didn't want to support her and wanted to marry her off.

"I'm not forcing you to marry off so quickly, I just want you to go and take a look. If it's suitable, we can continue. If not, forget it.

But don't worry, if it's not suitable, mom will find a way to get you back.

If it really doesn't work out, next year when you go to the countryside, I'll pretend to be sick and slowly apply for medical retirement so you can come back and take over."

Jiang Qi was really going crazy after hearing this. It was just a click before, but now it was a huge click.

Neither of these two things is feasible. It goes without saying how important work is right now.

She knew that she would have to take the college entrance examination in the future, but her two sisters-in-law and two brothers didn't know.

She has nephews and nieces at home, and she has seen and understood how many of them have been fighting over a job.

Having the work handed over to me like this, my two sisters-in-law and brother may not say it on the surface, but they will inevitably feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Although she didn't care what they thought, this trouble could have been avoided.

Because she really doesn't need this job, and she doesn't want this job.

But it’s still early, so we can talk about it slowly. After all, retirement due to illness cannot be processed all at once.

The most important thing now is to arrange a blind date for her.

Li Zhibin must not be allowed to know about this. If he were to know about this, he would definitely be furious.

Even though Li Zhibin always responds to her on everything, she will never go west if she says she will go east, and she usually has the final say.

Li Zhibin also seems to be a little love-sick, but it is definitely not possible that he is a pure love-sick person.

If Jiang Qi knew that she had gone on a blind date with someone else, dumped him and married someone else, he didn't think Li Zhibin would be willing to be that cuckold.

He wouldn't give her the chance to cheat. If she did that, Li Zhibin would definitely be furious and would definitely come to kill her.

If Li Zhibin really got angry, the situation would be something she could not bear.

Even if she had not planned to marry Li Zhibin at that time, the excuse she would find in the future would not be falling in love with someone else or cheating. She would definitely make Li Zhibin give up on his own, otherwise she could not bear the consequences.
