Chapter 257 Aunt Zhang's Favorable Job
Shen Nian frowned, his heart full of doubts: "Yeah, how did he know that the parents of such a person were going to do this? Unless..."
Aunt Zhang San continued, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Unless he's behind this! Is it because Shi Zhiqing doesn't like him anymore, and he's found himself in love with Shi Zhiqing? So he's deliberately trying to mess up Shi Zhiqing and Zhou Jindong's relationship."
After hearing Aunt Zhang's analysis, Shen Nian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aunt Zhang, your idea is quite avant-garde."
"Well, isn't that the same thing between men and women?" Aunt Zhang waved her hand, looking like an experienced person. "But if the educated youth's parents really come now, then her relationship with Zhou Jindong will probably be in jeopardy."
Shen Nian also agreed with what Aunt Zhang said. If it was really as Zhu Jiajun said, then Shengxia's parents came all the way here, definitely because they didn't want Shi Shengxia to marry someone randomly in the countryside.
But whether Shi Shengxia's parents come or not has nothing to do with her. She just needs to stand aside and watch the show.
"Aunt San, let's not let anyone else know about this, especially Shi Zhiqing and Zhou Jindong."
Shen Nian pondered for a moment and continued, "We are not sure about this matter. Telling it to others may cause unnecessary trouble."
Shen Nian didn't admit it, she wanted to watch the show.
The current Shi Shengxia is not the original owner. She is a little curious whether the original owner's parents will recognize that the current Shi Shengxia is not the original Shi Shengxia.
Aunt Zhang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped! I just like to watch the fun and not meddle in other people's business."
"Everyone line up! Get ready to start beating the meat!" Accountant Li's voice came from the threshing ground.
Aunt Zhang and Shen Nian exchanged a glance, and Shen Nian quickly waved her hand, smiling with a hint of helplessness: "Aunt Zhang, please don't drag me to buy meat. I really don't want to go."
Aunt Zhang glared at Shen Nian in feigned anger: "You girl, if you don't go, how will others remember that they can eat meat today, all thanks to you? Then they will only remember who cut the meat for them!"
Shen Nian smiled helplessly. She understood Aunt Zhang's good intentions. But she really had no interest in this job. The thought of fighting so many people made her feel tired.
Aunt Zhang also knew that Shen Nian really didn't like doing this job, so she patted her shoulder and joked, "Butchering is a lucrative job. If you don't go, I'll do it!"
After saying that, Aunt Zhang strode towards the place where the meat was being cut. I don't know what she said to the aunt who was cutting the meat, but the aunt gave her the spoon.
"This pork was harvested by Shen Zhiqing. We must remember her kindness when we eat it!" Aunt Zhang said to the person in front of her while harvesting the meat skillfully.
The man nodded repeatedly in agreement: "That's right, that's right. It's all thanks to Shen Zhiqing that we can eat this meat. Third sister, give me some fat!"
"Hey, look, the ones I gave you are all fat."
Aunt Zhang responded with a smile, her hands moving non-stop, while she also continued to "build momentum" for Shen Nian:
"You must remember, this meat was hunted by Shen Zhiqing. She saw how hard we worked on the autumn harvest, and she risked her life to hunt that wild boar for us! Otherwise, Shen Zhiqing could have run away when she saw the wild boar, but why didn't she? Wasn't it because she wanted everyone to have a good meal? We must all remember this kindness!"
The people in the queue nodded one after another, and some even echoed: "Yes, Shen Zhiqing is really a good person. We all remember her kindness."
"Yes, yes, if you need any help in the future, we all have to lend a hand."
Shen Nian stood aside and watched Aunt Zhang working hard to "promote" her. Although she didn't care about it, she still felt a warm current flowing in her heart.
At this moment, a group of children came over, surrounding the captain, and shouted excitedly as they walked: "The captain is back!"
Everyone turned around to look and saw that the captain's face was full of joy, and the smile on his mouth was almost reaching his ears.
The team leader asked cheerfully, "I just heard from the children that our team is eating pork again today, thanks to Mr. Shen, the educated youth."
"Captain, what were you doing this afternoon? I didn't see you the whole afternoon." Someone interrupted curiously.
"Yes! Captain, Shen Zhiqing killed two wild boars today!" someone else added.
Upon hearing this, the team leader exclaimed in admiration, "Oh, this educated young woman Shen is truly our team's lucky star! I went to the commune for a meeting today, and the leaders of our commune were praising Shen! Have you seen where Shen is? I just happened to have something to discuss with her!"
Everyone looked around after hearing this. The captain looked around and his eyes finally fell on Shen Nian, who was standing at the edge of the crowd.
"Hey, Shen Zhiqing, you are here! It's just right, I have something to talk to you about." The captain said as he walked quickly towards Shen Nian, his face full of joy.
"Everyone, please continue to line up to get the meat. I have something to say to Shen Zhiqing!" the team leader said to the crowd.
Then he turned to Shen Nian and said, "Shen Zhiqing, it's too noisy here. Let's go to the office and talk."
Shen Nian nodded and followed the captain to the office.
After walking a few steps, the team leader kept praising Shen Nian and mentioned the evaluation of Shen Nian by the commune leaders, saying that she was a role model among the educated youth and brought honor to the Shuangxi Brigade.
Shen Nian looked at the captain who was always excited, and felt that this matter was not simple.
"Xiao Nian, please sit down first."
The team leader poured himself a glass of water and took a sip before slowly saying, "Xiao Nian, as you know, our chicken farm this year has always had high expectations from our commune leader Zhao."
Shen Nian nodded and waited for the captain to continue.
The captain cleared his throat before continuing, "Today, all the captains of the brigades were called to a meeting to announce something. There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Shen Nian thought for a moment and said, "Captain, you should tell me the good news first."
Upon hearing this, the team leader's smile widened, his eyes sparkling. "The good news is, the commune has notified us that there are five quotas for installing electrical wires."
"Install electrical wires?" Shen Nian couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard that.
In this day and age, electricity is a rare luxury in rural areas. If Shuangxi Brigade can really have electricity, it would be great news.
"That's right, as long as we install electrical wires, every household in our brigade will be able to use electric lights!" The brigade leader clapped the table excitedly.
Shen Nian hadn't forgotten the bad news the captain had told her. She couldn't help but ask, "So the bad news is there are only five spots?"
The captain nodded. "Yes, the bad news is that there are too few spots and the competition is too fierce."
