Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 543 Qin Jingru: The stick grows up to be promising

   Gongs and drums are loud, and firecrackers are roaring.

  The air is filled with the smell of burning gunpowder, full of New Year flavor.

  Factory Manager Yang led a group of cadres to condolences to advanced workers.

   This is an annual practice, but there is nothing special about it.

  When I came, I naturally brought condolences and money.

  The number is not large, and the etiquette is light and the affection is heavy.

   But for Jiang Ping'an, it is also a big show, and it is extremely face-saving!

   "Comrade Jingru is the childhood sweetheart you keep talking about?" Director Yang asked with a smile.

  Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "Hey, that's her!"

   "Hello, Director Yang! Ping An often talks about you, saying that you are kind to him!" Qin Jingru smiled sweetly.

  Factory Director Yang waved his hands and smiled, "No matter where, his current achievements are all due to his own hard work!"

   "Director, you also know that my parents are gone, and I don't have any other elders." Jiang Pingan answered.

   "When the time comes when Jingru and I get married, we must ask you to witness the marriage!"

  Director Yang laughed out loud, and replied:

   "Okay, okay, I'm sure to be on call for such a good thing, and I'll be happy with it."

   As he spoke, he patted Jiang Pingan on the shoulder again, and said comfortingly:

   "To be honest, seeing that you have the hope of a lifetime, my hanging heart will fall to the ground!"

   "Hehe, it's my fault for worrying the factory manager." Jiang Ping'an apologized.

  A group of cadres were brought into the house to sit down and drink tea. The courtyard was full of people, all of whom were very envious.

  In the past one or two years, Jiang Ping'an's life in the courtyard has become more and more prosperous, and no one can keep up.

   To everyone, Jiang Ping'an is a role model for a successful career.

   Even his achievements are beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime.

  As the deputy director of the rolling mill, he is assigned to a local place. With the blessing of two national honors, he will definitely not be downgraded.

  How to say, he can also be qualified as the deputy head of a county, and the ranking will be high.

   Even with proper operation, it is very possible to become a county magistrate, after all, honorary titles are too valuable.

  Among the onlookers, Xu Damao's eyes turned red with envy, let alone Liu Haizhong, who dreamed of becoming an official.

   On the first day of the Lunar New Year, so many factory leaders came to express condolences, even just once, can make people brag for a lifetime.

   "Is the second uncle envious? It's only fun to be an official to Jiang Ping'an's level!" Xu Damao said.

   Liu Haizhong came back to his senses, gave him a sideways glance, nodded silently, and sighed:

   "Indeed, I don't want to be a director, even if I am a team leader in the workshop, I can't sleep for joy."

  Paused, he smiled and said, "But now that I'm the squad leader of the defense team, I can barely be considered a leader."

   "Cut, what kind of broken leader is that?" Xu Damao cut his voice and said disapprovingly.

   "You don't even have a salary, and there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals under your command. What's the point?"

   Liu Haizhong said unhappily: "You have the ability, why don't you even have the right to manage a few soldiers and crab generals?"

   "Second uncle, what do you have to say to Xu Damao?" He Yuzhu leaned over and said.

   "This kid is just jealous of you. He doesn't want to see you well. In fact, he wants to be an official and is crazy."

  Xu Damao wanted to argue with He Yuzhu again, Liu Haizhong hurriedly said:

   "Shut up, don't look at what occasion this is?"

   "Are you satisfied if you make a joke in front of the factory leaders?"

  He Yuzhu and Xu Damao also knew that they really couldn't make a fuss today.

   It's really going to be a fire, and Jiang Ping'an will lose face in front of the factory leaders. This kid is not easy to mess with.

  Director Yang and the others didn’t sit for long, and got up in about ten minutes to leave.

   After all, they are not just condolences to Jiang Ping'an's family, there are many places to go.

  Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru sent the leaders outside the courtyard.

  Before leaving, Deputy Director Li pulled Jiang Pingan aside and reminded him in a low voice:

   "The cadres are on duty at night, and you are assigned to a group with me."

   "Remember to come here earlier, I made some appetizers, after we inspect, find a place to have a few drinks."

  According to the usual practice, during the Chinese New Year and holidays, cadres at the level of deputy director and above must be on duty.

  The duty schedule has been publicized years ago, and Jiang Ping'an is in Li's group in the middle of the night this evening.

  Jiang Pingan heard the words, hesitantly said: "Director, I will definitely not refuse this drink."

   "Drinking during this shift, if the superior finds out, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

  Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "What are you afraid of when the sky falls and I, a tall man, is holding it up?"

   "Don't worry, it's been like this for all these years. If someone lets you out, there won't be any problems."

   Hearing what he said, Jiang Ping'an also knew that no matter what, he would be in the same boat.

  If he didn't even dare to drink together, Deputy Director Li would definitely have some objections, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

  Send off the leaders, Jiang Pingan and Qin Jingru returned home, and she asked:

   "The one who whispered to you just now was Deputy Director Li, right? What did he tell you?"

   "Well, don't ask too much about work." Jiang Pingan sat down and took a sip of tea and said.

  Qin Jingru took the plate, cleaned up the teacups at home, and said with a smile, "Well, I shouldn't ask."

   While talking, Qin Huairu stepped into the door and said with a smile: "Jingru is busy, do you want me to help?"

   "No, I'll just put away the teacup." Qin Jingru shook her head.

   "The melon seeds and peanut shells on the ground, we will sweep them tomorrow."

  Jiang Pingan pointed to the melon seeds on the plate, smiled and said, "Grab melon seeds and eat them yourself!"

   "Thanks, my mouth has been a little angry these past two days, and I need to avoid it." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Then pour tea yourself, this tea is for reducing fire, and it is very fragrant."

   "Hehe, I don't know if it can reduce the fire, but the fragrance of this tea is real, and I can smell it from a long distance."

  Qin Huairu giggled, and seeing that Qin Jingru didn't say anything, he poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to drink it.

  Jiang Pingan took a cigarette and lit it, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you take care of the children at home, is there anything you can do here?"

   "It's okay, Huaihua is asleep right now, I'll take the time to chat with Jingru." Qin Huairu said.

  Although she said so, she looked at Jiang Ping'an with affection, secretly sending glances and affection.

  After Qin Jingru put all the used teacups on the plate, she turned her head and said with a smile:

   "Cousin, just now I saw the stick stalk twirled around the door a few times, probably because I want to eat melon seeds."

   "You grab some, put them in your pocket, and bring them to him, children, that's all that matters."

   In fact, not only children are curious, adults are also curious.

  The annual melon seeds and peanuts in these years are only a few taels per household, which is really just a taste.

  Qin Huairu heard the words, looked sideways at Jiang Ping'an, and saw him nodding silently, so he smiled and said:

   "Okay, then thank you Jingru, no wonder the stick is always close to you and Ping An, saying hello to you."

  Qin Jingru smiled and said: "Bang Geng looks smart and sensible, and he will definitely be promising when he grows up."

  She learned from Jiang Ping'an, no matter if she is good or bad, she will be praised.

  That kid has a wit and energy, and he will definitely be lawless in the future!
