Chapter 412: Chapter 412

The third person to arrive was She Xiaoyun and her family of three. Wang Zhiwei was older than Shi Jing and Xiangting, so they quickly started playing together.

Already one year old, Shen Yiwei was anxious. It was rare to have so many children around; she also wanted to join in.

However, the older kids didn’t want to play with her, so the little girl cried out.

In the end, it was Feifei who couldn’t stand it. Since they were guests at her home, she went over and held the little girl’s hand, slowly chasing after her brothers in the yard.

"This Feifei is really so good-looking," Wang Tongzhou said, looking at the little girl with envy, but the couple still hadn’t had a second child and wanted a cute daughter.

Shen Jian Country also nodded, "Yes, she’s very pretty."

He was a bit anxious coming over today, but after really seeing Jiang Xinyu, he didn’t feel anything. It seemed he had truly moved on.

The last to arrive was Song Qingqing and her family. They had gone to their hometown to pick up their child.

Originally, Chen Guoliang, Shen Jian Country, and Zhou Zhaodong were colleagues. Though they weren’t familiar with Wang Tongzhou, they still knew him. So the men watched the kids in the yard and had a pleasant chat. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

The women were busy in the kitchen. "Xinyu’s cooking is always delicious."

Jiang Xinyu was now sweaty. "You’d cook well too if you were as generous with oil as I am."

"That’s true. If you lived with your mother-in-law, you’d be scolded every day," Song Qingqing laughed.

Her own mother-in-law was the kind of person who lived frugally, seeing the oil Jiang Xinyu used for one dish was enough for her family for three days.

"Haha, I wouldn’t want to wrong myself. I go to work to earn money, and earning money is for a good life, right?"

"You always have so many excuses and reasons," Wang Ailing laughed.

Song Qingqing was stunned for a moment by Jiang Xinyu’s words, "Xinyu is right, that’s really how it is. The fatigue from working every day is just for the end result of a good life, isn’t it?"

She Xiaoyun, standing nearby, laughed, "I’ll go set the table outside, Xinyu, do you have enough stools?"

"Yes, rest assured, we have two kang tables and sixteen stools, more than enough."

She Xiaoyun came out, and Wang Tongzhou immediately stood up, "What can I do?"

"Go to the side room and move the tables; we can eat soon."

"I think it’s almost ready; you can smell the aroma outside."

She Xiaoyun laughed, both of them carrying out a table each, while Wang Tongzhou carried the stools himself, and She Xiaoyun went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

The children were laughing and playing in the yard, but when they saw the table was set, they all ran over.

In this era, children weren’t allowed at the table first, but these families all spoiled their kids, so they hadn’t been taught otherwise. Therefore, a few children sat on the stools waiting.

"Brother, you all should go wash your hands," Jiang Feifei glanced at Jiang Shijing.

"Okay, the three of us will go now."

Jiang Feifei and Chen Xiangting, the two girls, each led a little girl to wash their hands.

"Director Jiang taught the kids so well," Wang Tongzhou sighed.

Everyone agreed deeply.

Soon, the cold dishes were brought out: tomatoes with sugar, cucumbers mixed with vermicelli, and stir-fried potatoes were all served.

Jiang Xinyu’s chili oil was both numbing and spicy, so the cold dishes smelled quite fragrant too.

Poached sliced meat, hot pot, and stir-fried eggplant were all served in large bowls. It filled up a whole table.

The women, all swift and capable, had finished tidying up the kitchen.

Jiang Xinyu called the men to eat. Shang Zhenkun asked the three boys to join this table, otherwise, there would be too many children at the women’s table.

They didn’t prepare any alcohol, mainly because Jiang Xinyu didn’t want the mealtime gathering to last too long, avoiding trouble.

Chen Guoliang and the others, seeing the lavish meal, felt regretful not having white wine but didn’t say anything. The three of them worked at the police station, so they knew what happened last night.

They were sensible people. Nowadays, it was better to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The rice was steamed directly in a steamer basket, and there was enough for the dozen people eating. Naturally, all the dishes were finished too.

Everyone felt especially satisfied. Wang Zhiwei rubbed his belly, "Aunt Jiang, I want to come live at your house in the future."

Jiang Xinyu laughed heartily, "Sure, you can come and be my son, but my house isn’t every day."

She Xiaoyun glared at her son, really disappointed.

"I’d still like it here, it’s much better than my grandma’s cooking, and better than our kindergarten’s food."

"Alright, you can come to Aunt Jiang’s house on weekends; all of you can come."

The kids were, of course, willing. In their minds, Aunt Jiang now represented delicious food.

Even the two one-year-old little girls nodded.

Song Qingqing, holding her daughter, tapped her nose and said, "What are you nodding for? What do you know?"

The women all laughed. After sitting a while longer, they all got up to help clear the tables, and the men tidied up the yard.

Everyone went home. Jiang Xinyu looked at the gifts they brought in the main room, shaking her head, feeling embarrassed that they all brought gifts.

She invited Song Qingqing and Pan Xiulan to dinner because she missed their weddings, and as for She Xiaoyun and Wang Ailing, they were her good friends. Bringing gifts seemed unnecessary.

But she didn’t say anything about it.

She prepared bathwater for the two children. Shang Zhenkun sat in the courtyard smoking, "Xiao Jiang, today I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy groceries and saw your Mr. Qian. He was chatting very closely with a clerk, and when he saw me, Mr. Qian seemed a bit uneasy."

"Is that so? Why would he be uneasy?"

Ever since Jiang Xinyu discovered Qian Jun had thoughts about her, she had been trying to minimize her chances of being with him.

It’s good if he finds someone.

The next day, Sunday, Jiang Xinyu still went to work. After all, she was the factory manager now, not as free as before. Besides, she wasn’t at ease, not knowing if the trouble would spread to the textile factory.

For now, it hadn’t been long enough to see any restlessness among the workers here.

A motivational meeting had to be organized so that the unethical practices wouldn’t impact the textile factory. It was a factory here, and it shouldn’t be associated with any nonsense; otherwise, there would be trouble.

In the morning, when she met Qian Jun, they talked about this matter.

"Alright, hand it to the union. We’ll both say a few words at the meeting."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, leaving it to the union sounded good.

The purpose of this meeting was to warn the workers.

"Mr. Qian, I will definitely punish the first person to make a mistake, using them as an example."

Qian Jun nodded. He thought the same. No one making mistakes would be best, but if there was a fool, then there was nothing that could be done.
