Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Canned Phrases

"Meng Lin, Xiao Zhen, you two go sit in the driver’s cabin. I’ll go to the back."

"Bro, I’ll go to the back too, it’s cooler there."

"Cousin, you sit in the front with Lv Zhiqing, we’ll stay in the back."

"Alright."

Guodong felt a bit troubled after listening to Tao Chunhe. He wasn’t fond of being too close to female comrades.

Luckily, it’s Lv Zhiqing who was with him.

The car started. Just at the village entrance, they saw the Red Army driving a tractor.

"Red Army, are you going to the county or the city?"

"Brother-in-law, I’m going to the city. How about you? Do you want to come with me? You’re returning the car, right? You can finish and wait for me in the county if you like."

"I won’t go, I’m not sure what Uncle Yang might arrange. It’s fine, I’ll wait for you. If you don’t see me, just go ahead by yourself."

"Alright, I heard my sister is going too today. My dad misses you two."

"You can go in a few days, we’ll go with you.

I’m off, drive slowly, don’t rush."

"Got it."

"Lv Zhiqing, is this your brother-in-law?"

"Yeah, second brother-in-law."

"Are you going to the city?"

"I don’t know, Uncle Yang is calculating the transport fees, not sure if there’s anything else planned."

"Lv Zhiqing, I’m quite envious of you, having someone to look after you here."

"Yes, with Aunt Jiang around, my sister and I are really fortunate."

"I was late earlier because I saw Teacher Jiang. I think she’s about my age."

"Yeah, Aunt Jiang hasn’t changed much over the years."

"Are you relatives with Teacher Jiang?"

"No, Aunt Jiang and my dad were secretaries back then. They have a good relationship with over ten others, so they kept in touch."

"Haha, so Teacher Jiang was a secretary. No wonder she gets along with everyone so well."

"Haha, Aunt Jiang can get along with anyone, as long as you don’t have other motives."

"Guodong, I’ve heard that Teacher Jiang is a college graduate."

"Yes, Aunt Jiang graduated college the year my sister, my cousin, and Aunt Jiang’s two children came over. It’s been years now."

Tao Chunhe carefully inquired about Jiang Xinyu.

Guodong drove directly into the transportation team’s yard.

He handed off the keys to a driver. Since he borrowed the car, if they find any issues, the responsibility would fall on him.

Old Yang and Jin Erlin came out.

"Uncle Jin."

"Xiao Zhen and Meng Lin, you’re here? Uncle Jin will treat you to lunch.

Xiao Chun, this is Master Yang, haven’t you met him?"

"We met yesterday."

"Old Yang, these are the children of my former leader, I’m asking you to help look after them."

Old Yang nodded, "As long as they’re honest, there’ll be no problem. If there are any living difficulties, come to our home."

Jin Erlin and Old Yang have known each other for many years and have dealt with each other a lot, so he knows what kind of person he is, definitely not one to talk too much.

Over there, Guodong had finished handing off the keys to the driver.

"Uncle Yang, no issues."

"Alright. Captain Jin, let’s go settle the accounts."

"Uncle Yang, do you have anything later?"

"Why?"

"I ran into the Red Army on the way here. If there’s nothing this afternoon, I’ll go to the city with him. I saw he’s alone today."

"No issues, go ahead."

"Guodong, wait a moment, I’ll go with you, I want to get to know the place. When you return, pick us siblings up."

Tao Chunhe went out with Guodong, waiting for the Red Army.

"Xiao Zhen, Meng Lin, you two come in too."

They entered the office, Old Yang straightforwardly pulled out money, "Captain Jin, count it."

"Haha, doubt you? We’ve known each other for so many years, I still remember the time we went to T City District to pick up wheat."

Jin Erlin counted the money while speaking. "You wouldn’t know, seeing Teacher Jiang back then, she was really impressive, truly a remarkable person. A female comrade daring to go abroad for grain."

Old Yang just smiled. He rarely spoke about his own matters in front of strangers, especially having to be cautious around these three people.

"The amount is correct, Old Yang, stay for lunch."

"Not today, next time visit my house for a meal.

I’ll head off, come by if there’s anything."

The two girls followed Jin Erlin out to send Old Yang off. Just then, Tao Chunhe bumped into Old Yang. "Master Yang, you’re leaving now?"

"Yes, I’m heading back. You three take care."

After sending Old Yang off, the four of them went back into the office.

The place was quite convenient. The driver’s lounge was far from Jin Erlin’s office, so there was no concern while talking.

"Why did you three come today? Do you need anything?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Uncle Jin, we saw them return yesterday, the car parked outside, so we made an excuse to come today. Plus, we’ve been here for a while, thought we’d take a look around."

"How was it? Xiao Zhen, what do you think of Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang?"

"Uncle Jin, if my grandpa met them, he’d definitely find a way to get to know them."

Jin Erlin nodded.

"Uncle Jin, Jiang Xinyu went abroad?"

"A few years ago, Jiang Xinyu went to Russia and brought back a lot of grain."

"Just her alone?"

"There were others, but I heard she was entirely responsible."

"Really couldn’t tell, today we specifically observed Jiang Xinyu, seemed just like an ordinary person," Tao Chunhe remarked casually.

"Haha. You’re underestimating Jiang Xinyu. She’s the deputy director of the textile factory. If she persists, she’ll definitely be promoted within a few years."

"Impressive indeed."

"Yes, back then the first time I went with Old Yang, I saw a young girl surrounded by many people, yet she could accurately state everyone’s count, not something ordinary people could do.

Also, even Old Yang listens to Jiang Xinyu.

I’m advising you three, don’t try to get close to them intentionally. They’re very perceptive. Live together, take it slow, exchange sincerity for sincerity, or else, you’ll mean nothing to them."

Tao Chunhe nodded understandingly. "I understand." With smart people, genuine sincerity is necessary, or the results could be counterproductive.

Visiting the county is no easy feat, there’s still the tractor ride in the afternoon, I’ll take you to explore, gather what’s lacking, take more back, we might not handle other matters well, but life’s needs must be guaranteed.

"Uncle Jin, we don’t lack anything."

"Still, go out for a stroll, can’t return with nothing after coming out. Who knows when the next holiday might be?"

The siblings three went out with Jin Erlin. Their first stop was the supply and demand cooperative.
