Chapter 260 Sister-in-law, are you researching engines?
In the evening, Lu Yuan told Qiao Manman about it, and Qiao Manman pinched his ear and scolded him: "You can avoid it if you want, but why push Comrade Ni out? What if he's not happy about it..."
"He's happy to, he's very happy to!"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "When the mission ended that day, he said that the captain's daughter was quite pretty, but he didn't know what her personality was like."
I saw that he was interested, so I created an opportunity for him to learn more about it himself.
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the situation at Comrade Ni's family? Are you so poor that you can't afford to eat, or do you have an old mother who likes to torment her daughter-in-law?"
"His family is indeed facing some difficulties, but not to the point of not being able to afford food."
The climate in the Northwest is bad, and the annual grain output is limited. To thank his family for raising him, Xinpeng sends five yuan back home every month.
During the autumn harvest, they would also buy grain from here and send it back home to supplement their income.
"Does he have enough money to live on?"
"It's just enough, the young man is usually quite frugal. His mother wrote to him, telling him to save the money to get married. He must be a kind person."
Qiao Manman thought that Ni Xinpeng was a really good young man, and if things went well, Su Shilan would be lucky!
"In any case, I've saved you from disaster. If they really get married, I'll give Comrade Ni two fertility pills!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Then he's made a fortune!"
The next day, Ni Xinpeng returned with a flushed face and submitted a marriage report to his superiors.
Everyone curiously surrounded him, asking how he won over the team leader's daughter. Ni Xinpeng scratched his head and told the truth.
At first, Captain Su was not very willing. He felt that although the young man was honest, his family burden was indeed quite heavy.
When he returned home, his relatives learned that he had brought back a son-in-law from the army, and they excitedly came to his door to inquire.
She even looked on with envy, saying bluntly, "Big brother, if you don't like Xiao Ni, then give him to our Hongxia. Shilan's sister should also speak up for him!"
"My Peach Blossom doesn't need a man to marry into her family, Comrade Ni, would you like to consider it?"
When someone tried to poach his son, Su Musheng panicked: "What are you doing? What are you doing? This is my son-in-law! Don't you dare lay a finger on him!"
The Su family relatives touched their noses, thinking that since there was no engagement and no betrothal gifts, so what if they snatched it? That's their business!
Ni Xinpeng hadn't expected to be so popular. He grinned sheepishly, "I have many comrades-in-arms..."
Su Musheng thought of the good young men that Brigade Commander He had introduced to him and felt that marrying into the military would have many benefits.
"Yes, they are all good young men. One is particularly strong, one runs very fast, and one is particularly lucky."
If you're interested, you can ask Xiao Ni to help you make the connection.
However, these few aren't very good-looking, so you should tell your daughters beforehand not to give them a hard time in front of them.
Ni Xinpeng guiltily touched his nose, thinking to himself that there were plenty of good-looking men in the team. Commander He was unkind, always introducing girls to men who couldn't find husbands.
As a result, the Su family relatives didn't mind at all: "Hey, how could we possibly choose the best ones? They've probably already been snapped up by girls from their hometown!"
Besides, what does it matter if I'm ugly? As long as I have a stable job and can earn money, that's fine!
"By the way, I heard that the girls from Xiahegou Production Team went to the army for blind dates a couple of days ago. I wonder how it went?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Ni Xinpeng.
Ni Xinpeng gave an awkward smile: "I was on a mission at the time, so I'm not sure! I'll ask around when I get back. Next time I'm on leave, I'll invite my single comrades over so the ladies can pick one!"
"Oh, that's wonderful! I'll thank my nephew-in-law in advance!"
Everyone was excited after hearing Ni Xinpeng's story.
"Hey bro, count me in. I'm not getting any younger, I dream of having a wife, kids, and a warm bed!"
"Haha, me too. I don't mind if a girl is from the countryside, as long as she's pretty, I don't care if she doesn't have to do any work!"
"I want someone cultured!"
"I......"
"Wait, wait, wait! I think you should go find the political commissar!" He's just a greenhorn, he can't handle these things!
Political Commissar Li hadn't expected that Old He would actually get things sorted out. Facing the eager looks from the young soldiers, he smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange it for you!"
They selected a group of people and sent them to Sujiagou for matchmaking.
They also attached great importance to it, not only gathering together the girls with good character in the team, but also inviting the educated youth.
The social gathering went very well, and by the end of the afternoon, seven couples had formed.
Captain Su and Brigade Commander He were all smiles as they gathered together to discuss their wedding date.
"Let's set it for the 10th of next month, so as not to delay spring plowing!"
"Okay, whatever you say!"
When Qiao Manman found out, she gave him a thumbs up in admiration. She thought to herself, "No wonder she can be a leader; she's really quick-witted!"
But she can only listen to it; she has a lot of things to do.
During this period, Qian Xiaoni was relatively well-behaved, spending her days eating and sleeping.
Qiao Manman was happy to have some peace and quiet and studied the blueprints at home. She thought the system was really thoughtful, giving her a full hundred blueprints ranging from simple to complex.
However, individual abilities are limited. Even if she mastered everything, what could she change?
Qiao Manman wished she could bring back all the top researchers from the cowshed and use both her hands and feet to speed up the reform process.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Qiao Manman put the blueprints into her spatial storage and went to open the door.
"You are......"
They looked somewhat familiar, yet also felt very unfamiliar.
"Let me think!" Qiao Manman quickly mobilized the information in her mind, her eyes suddenly lit up, followed by a look of shock and disbelief.
"Bai Jiafu, you're Bai Jiafu from the provincial capital's machinery factory! I remember you, your name is particularly auspicious, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Manman pulled him into the house: "Comrade Bai, do you have relatives here?"
Bai Jiafu smiled and said, "Long time no see, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to still remember me!"
Qiao Manman poured him tea: "Thank you for bringing Lu Yuan to the Northeast. He said there was a gunfight at the time. Were you alright?"
"Comrades Lu and Wei protected me so well that I was fine and didn't get hurt at all. But Comrade Lu bumped his foot, and I guess his toenail is all bruised."
Qiao Manman smiled: "How long are you staying here? How is Director Meng?"
Bai Jiafu scratched his head awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, I've been transferred to work in Northeast China! I had a day off today, so I came to see you!"
"Oh, really? That's great, we can visit each other more often in the future."
Qiao Manman asked Bai Jiafu about his new job for a couple of minutes, and then, seeing that it was getting late, got up to cook.
"Don't rush, sister-in-law, I'll go to the cafeteria for lunch in a bit!" Bai Jiafu stopped her.
Qiao Manman laughed: "No way, your brother Lu hasn't come back yet, we have to chat for a bit. Which family does your relative belong to? I'll go say hello to her!"
“Sister-in-law, actually I…” Bai Jiafu noticed a white corner under the cabinet and went over to pull out the paper.
"Sister-in-law, are you studying engines?"
