Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

"Hey, Mom, who are you sending shoes to?"

"Could it be Chen Jianghe from the front yard?!"

He just couldn't understand, he was his biological son, why was he giving new shoes to someone else?

That's his stuff!

"Dongxu, don't worry about it. There is a reason why mom did this." Jia Zhang said and went to the front yard.

Chen Jianghe took the big red enamel basin that Liu Guangtian helped to bring over. It was really new, and the words "Red Star Cinema" were printed on the bottom.

It seems that Lao Xu took advantage of the cinema and ended up getting the money in his hands.

"Chen Jianghe, these are the new shoes I promised to give you." Jia Zhang took the initiative to deliver them.

Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

Jia Zhang, who always wanted to take advantage of others, actually took the initiative to give herself something? Could it be a trick?

However, it is natural to accept things from others, otherwise it would be impolite.

He tried it on immediately and found it was the perfect size.

The new cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles do not make your feet smelly, are not tight, and are very breathable. Jia Zhang's craftsmanship is impeccable.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I think you are so thoughtful. Consider this as your wedding gift to Xiao'e and me."

Jia Zhang had delivered the things and wanted to say a few more words.

But Chen Jianghe didn't need her to remind him. She trembled her lips and went back to the Central Courtyard without saying anything.

After sending the Liu brothers away with two pieces of candy, Lou Xiao'e also reheated the food.

"Brother, why do others send things to our family?"

Lou Xiao'e's growing environment meant that she had never experienced the interpersonal relationships of ordinary people at the bottom of society, and of course there were some trivial matters. She just thought that her husband was popular.

"That's because I'm popular. We've just started our life together. Just wait and see. Following me, life will only get better and better."

As expected, she guessed it right. Lou Xiao'e once again felt grateful that she had found a good partner.

You have to take good care of such a reliable man.

"By the way, although we have saved money on the banquet in our courtyard, we cannot save money on yours, otherwise we will be laughed at by others."

Chen Jianghe thought that since they had only been in partnership for a few years, the Lou family should not be in danger yet.

No matter what, you can't stop people from getting married.

It’s definitely not a bad idea to be relatively low-key. If you don’t want to make a big deal, it should be fine to just have a banquet in a restaurant.

"When the time comes, ask your parents whether they want to hold the banquet at home or go to a restaurant. I'm fine with either."

After finishing his meal, Chen Jianghe put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

It’s so comfortable to have someone cooking at home.

Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to clean up the dishes without waiting for anyone to say anything.

She thought about what her husband said and felt that it was not appropriate for her family to be too ostentatious.

"Brother, why don't we go to the restaurant for a meal."

"You may not know much about my family's situation, so the lower the profile, the better."

In fact, she thought about not holding the wedding banquet.

But after all, marriage is a big deal. Even if you don’t care, you still have to give an explanation to your parents.

Then the family will go to the restaurant for a meal.

It's enough to just have some fun, there's no need to make it known to everyone.

"Okay, I'll take a day off this weekend. When you're free during the day, tell your parents and I'll go to Fengze Garden to make reservations."

Just as Chen Jianghe guessed, his wife didn't want to be too high-profile.

"That's right, brother."

"Director Wang said the other day that he had found our mother's whereabouts. When do you plan to go to Huating County to bring our mother back?"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly thought that since they were married, it was not a good idea for her mother-in-law to be living outside.

But her husband never mentioned this matter. Was he worried that she would not want to get along with her mother-in-law?

So Lou Xiao'e decided to ask, she really didn't mind having another mother-in-law in the family.

Jia Dongxu is the only one who supports the Jia family in the Central Courtyard, and Qin Huairu gets along well with her mother-in-law.

So she has the confidence to serve her mother-in-law and her husband well.

Chen Jianghe never mentioned this matter, not because he was worried about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but for other reasons.

One thing he didn't understand was why his original mother had never sent any letters back.

After all, there is still an eldest son in this city, and he should not be forgotten!

The worst outcome, which he dared not think about, was whether his original mother had an accident.

After all, in this day and age, human life can be as strong as weeds, or as fragile as a single blow.

"I've been busy with our business. I'll go to the street office to get a letter of introduction."

I originally wanted to ask Director Wang to help me with a letter of introduction that day, but my departure time didn’t match that day, so I could only go to the street office the day before I left.

This was also the seriousness of the office at that time. The time could not be changed even for a day, otherwise it would be considered a forgery.

The next day, Wednesday, Chen Jianghe went out after eating the meal cooked by his wife early in the morning.

As for Lou Xiao'e, of course she began her married life of mending and cleaning.

In the pool in the middle courtyard, she was washing clothes while listening to the gossip of the aunties, and she felt that life now was quite interesting.

Steel mill employees are entitled to three days of marriage leave.

Chen Jianghe went directly to the office to submit an application for three days of marriage leave, and of course also got a certificate for exchanging food coupons.

Their rations were fixed by the factory, but the factory did not have national food coupons, so they had to go to the grain station with a certificate from their work unit to exchange them.

This gave him a total of four days of free time, enough for him to rush back from Huating County and reserve a seat at the restaurant.

To save time.

After Chen Jianghe quickly processed several finished products in the morning, he said hello to Master Niu and left.

Of course, he has to come back in the afternoon.

Master Niu strolled over to Chen Jianghe's workstation and took a look. Wow, this workload is no exaggeration to say it's a whole day's work.

The dark-faced director saw this scene but didn't say anything.

Chen Jianghe is a gifted person, so he can't exploit him too much. He should be flexible and give him some face.

If someone in the future becomes better off than you, maybe they will still be able to help you out of old friendship.

At the gate of the steel rolling mill, an old man from the security department was dozing off out of boredom when he saw a worker riding a 28-inch bicycle running towards the gate.

He looked up and saw, "It's you again, kid. You think the steel mill is your living room."

The old man is quite humorous.

Chen Jianghe grinned, "Uncle, every worker in the steel mill treats this place as their home. This is our glorious era!"

He threw a cigarette directly across the air, which he got from the middle-aged man when he was fishing in Shensha Sea.

There are only a few cigarettes left now. If you smoke his cigarettes, you have to work for him.

The little old man put the cigarette to his ear, came over happily and opened the small door.

"Go ahead, go out slowly."

"Okay!" Chen Jianghe pushed hard with his right foot, and the bicycle went out smoothly and headed straight for the street office.

As for the Dongzhimen Sub-district Office, the area under its jurisdiction is not a commercial street. Most of it is residential areas such as factories, schools and slums.

Now that food coupons are rationed, the streets are responsible for collecting population information from each household and verifying the household registration information.

After matching the numbers and calculating the number of grain coupons for each household, they can be sorted out and sent to the designated grain store.

Afterwards, the grain store clerks would go to each major compound every month to distribute grain coupons.

If some data is incorrect, we need to check and verify it again, which takes a lot of time.

When Chen Jianghe arrived at the subdistrict office, he saw this scene:

Several accountants were busy working on an abacus, and the crackling sound was intermittent.

What’s worse is that some people may miss out on or overcalculate without realizing it.

"Director Wang, I'll write you a letter of introduction."
