People born in the 80s became relocated households

Chapter 194: Getting Started

Jiang Shuya could only sigh helplessly, but her strength did not allow it, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

"Mom, is the meal delivery confirmed? Let's make it happen first. Will it be delivered tomorrow?"

A sly look flashed across Li Dalan's shrewd face. "How much is it? If it's more expensive than other places, I won't hesitate to decline."

So Jiang Shuya explained all the different price ranges of the set meals. Fortunately, Li Dalan was always willing to spend money on food, so she chose the one that cost 16 yuan per person, and she strongly requested that the portion be large, as the workers worked hard and they should not be treated unfairly.

In Jiang Shuya's memory, her parents started out as waste collectors and earned their money through hard work.

Later, I found that there were many tricks in the waste business and I figured out some ways to do it. So I expanded the waste business and opened a packing station.

In her previous life, everything went smoothly for her. She even opened a packaging paper factory and bought several houses in Jinling for Jiang Shuhuai. Her brother easily became a rich second-generation, and she herself became a rich lady in the eyes of those workers.

Although Li Dalan was harsh and strict with his children, he was conscientious in treating his workers. He was always generous and never exploited them. He also gained a group of workers who were loyal to their father.

After the meal order was confirmed, Jiang Shuya asked for half a month's meal fee to be paid in advance. Li Dalan did not object and agreed directly and promised to get the money at the takeaway station when the meal was delivered tomorrow.

The three of them packed up and went to Xixia Village that afternoon. As soon as they walked into the yard, they saw Tangtang at the door. Jiang Shuhuai suddenly picked up Tangtang and played with her.

Huang Minghao was not at home. When mother-in-law Li Yuxiang saw Jiang Shuya bringing people, she didn't ask much. It must be that Huang Minghao had greeted them.

Sure enough, the mother still listens to her son. Jiang Shuya finally understood why so many women in those palace dramas compete for favor. It turns out that as long as you please the man, everything will come naturally.

The three of them quickly cleaned the room, put down the quilt, and moved two unused tables and a wardrobe from the utility room in the backyard. They were not satisfied until they had cleaned the room.

Li Xiaoruo must have done farm work at home. She was very nimble and diligent, which made Jiang Shuya curious.

"Xiaoru, you are about the same age as Shuting. Has no one introduced you to a date in your hometown?"

Li Xiaoru paused in scrubbing her hands, her eyes hesitant;

"Yes, they were about to get engaged, but my father thought the gift was too little, so he turned it down."

Jiang Shuya had no doubts. She knew very well that girls nowadays all yearn for city life, which made it difficult for many boys in rural areas to find a partner. However, people like Li Xiaoru were still in high demand, so it was not surprising that her uncle asked for a high bride price.

"How much do you want for the bride price? Tell me."

Li Xiaoru hesitated and said, "One hundred thousand."

It is so. One hundred thousand yuan is nothing in the city, but it is still quite difficult for farmers in the countryside who only rely on farming.

"Cousin, do you know anyone who can introduce me to someone? I don't want to go back to my hometown."

Jiang Shuya didn't expect Li Xiaoru to speak up on her own initiative. She thought, who says that people from rural areas are conservative? Isn't this very realistic?

So she quickly thought of Wang Ziliang;

"Xiaoru, do you mind that the boy is not a local? He will continue to work in Jinling and will not return to his hometown. He should settle down in Jinling in the future."

Thinking of Wang Ziliang's practicality, ability and responsibility, he decided to introduce him to Li Xiaoru.

"It doesn't matter. People from other places are good. They are hardworking, able to endure hardships, and can settle down in Jinling. What's wrong with that?"

Li Xiaoru expressed his ideas in a very open-minded manner, which surprised Jiang Shuya a little, and all the worries in her heart disappeared immediately.

Seeing the few sets of clothes she brought from her hometown, all of which were very old-fashioned, Jiang Shuya frowned;

"This style is too old-fashioned and doesn't suit your age. It must be something your aunt left behind!"

Li Xiaoru smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Jiang Shuya turned around and went upstairs to get a few sets of clothes that she didn't usually wear. Almost all of them were brand new and gave them to her. Li Xiaoru immediately tried them on herself and smiled from ear to ear.

In the evening, Jiang Shuya found Zhang Xiaohui and told her about the next day's meal ordering. After explaining everything, she introduced Shuhuai to Zhang Xiaohui, and asked him to be in charge of delivering the meals.

That night, Jiang Shuya stood on the balcony upstairs, silently looking at the two houses downstairs. The lights were still on, and the sound of the game keyboard could be faintly heard from her brother's room. Li Xiaoru had just finished taking a shower, and was probably trying on the clothes he had given her one by one in front of the mirror!

Late at night, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she just picked up a book and started reading. Sure enough, this was her medicine. Soon, she felt sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously while holding the book.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself covered with a quilt and the book in her hand was put aside. She went downstairs with sleepy eyes and saw Huang Minghao busy in the kitchen. When he saw Jiang Shuya, the corners of his mouth curled up;

"Wake up, breakfast will be ready soon and you can eat it right away."

Jiang Shuya stared at him as if he were a monster;

''You don't have to do that, I'm not home to eat.''

She suddenly wanted to laugh. What was wrong with Huang Minghao that he suddenly wanted to make breakfast for her? In her memory of her previous life, he had never cooked a meal!

Maybe she had a guilty conscience? Thinking that he should have come back late at night and the quilt she was wearing might have been covered by him, she actually felt uncomfortable all over.

Huang Minghao didn't care about her discomfort. After cooking, he knocked on Jiang Shuhuai's door and asked him to get up and eat.

At the dinner table, Li Yuxiang was very curious about the changes in her son. She fed Tangtang while looking at her son eagerly.

Li Xiaoru looked at this considerate brother-in-law and her favorability towards him skyrocketed. She kept guessing in her heart that her brother-in-law must love her cousin very much!

It's really rare to find such a tall and handsome man who can cook. Seeing my brother-in-law constantly picking up food for my cousin, I feel more certain that my cousin has such good taste, and the food he introduces to her must be good!

In the afternoon, Jiang Shuya and Li Xiaoru found Wang Tingting and told her the purpose of their visit. Seeing someone she hadn't seen for a long time, Wang Tingting immediately went forward to hug her.

"Xiaoya, why did you come to see me just now? I missed you so much."

After that, she started to pretend to cry bitterly. After Jiang Shuya comforted her, Wang Tingting raised her eyelids and looked at her carefully;

"How come you seem to have lost weight? You didn't gain any weight during the Chinese New Year. Look at me, I'm so fat. You must be so jealous of me."

"Well, fat people are blessed. I'm not that lucky. Don't complain. It looks good this way."

Wang Tingting nodded when she heard it, and glanced at Li Xiaoru who was standing next to her, and instantly understood;

"Another job arrangement?"
