Chapter 222 This chapter makes sense
Xu Qianqian dreams of working in the city.
Even if it's just sweeping the streets.
"think."
"No, I'd love to go to the city and work."
"Thank you, Aunt Deying."
"Thank you, Aunt Chu Jie."
Without waiting for Chu Jie to finish her words, she stood up swiftly and bowed ninety degrees to Chu Jie and Li Deying.
The two were sincerely amused by her.
The three sisters Yun Jiaojiao, Lin Qingluo and Qin Hanmei couldn't help but smile.
Even Xie Zhennan and Xiao Yanlin, who never showed their emotions, pursed their lips.
Xiao Yanlin turned his head away and asked Xie Zhennan quietly.
"This girl is getting more and more pleasing to the eye and cuter the more I look at her. Old Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Zhennan glanced at Lin Qingluo.
"You praised other women in front of your wife, Xiao Yanlin. Aren't you afraid that your wife will punish you when you get home?"
"You have thick calluses on the soles of your feet, so you're not afraid of being tickled by your wife with goose feathers. I don't have calluses on my body, so I'm afraid of being beaten by my wife with a feather duster."
"If you want to die, don't hold me back."
"You praised Xu Qianqian, that girl, for the sake of you two, Old Xie, don't be so naive. You don't know the good heart of a good person."
"???"
Xie Zhennan found it difficult to understand this.
"What does your praise of Xu Qianqian have to do with our group?"
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Yanlin leaned over to Xie Zhennan's ear and whispered an explanation.
"The second, third, and fourth leaders of your regiment are all still single."
"Xu Qianqian has a nice figure and a good personality. After she goes to work in the city, ask Aunt Chu Jie or Aunt Deying to help set her up. Wouldn't that mean there will be one less bachelor in your group?"
This makes sense.
Xie Zhennan nodded unconsciously.
"You girl!"
Chu Jie spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.
"I haven't even mentioned work yet."
The smile on Xu Qianqian's face did not diminish at all.
"Aunt Chu Jie, I can endure hardships and have plenty of strength. Even if it means sweeping the streets or being a babysitter, I can do it."
Knowing that Xu Qianqian was so anxious to work because she wanted to supplement the family income, Chu Jie and Li Deying felt sorry for her.
Chu Jie sighed slightly and said, "I won't let you sweep the streets, nor will I let you be a nanny. Your aunt Deying is the director of the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe. The Jiangcheng Drama Troupe is currently recruiting drama actors. She wants you to go to the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe to study and become a drama actor in the future."
"Actor!"
Chu Jie's words shocked Xu Chun and his wife and Xu Qianqian.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu Chun widened their eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xu Qianqian came back to her senses and spoke unconfidently: "Chu, Aunt Chu Jie, Aunt Deying, I can't perform a drama, I can't even dance, I can only sing a few songs, can I be a drama actor like this?"
“You can sing!”
Li Deying, who thought Xu Qianqian was a blank slate, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard this.
"Qianqian girl, what songs can you sing?"
"Could you sing a few lines for us?"
"can."
Xu Qianqian nodded readily.
"I can sing 'Late Autumn', 'The Sound of the Waves Remains', 'A Carefree Walk', and 'The Sun Always Comes After the Rain'. Which one would you two aunts like to hear?"
“You can even order songs.”
Chu Jie happily ordered songs.
"'Sunshine Always Comes After the Rain', I really like this song."
"no problem."
Xu Qianqian walked to the center of the main room, stood still, cleared her throat and began to sing.
"I am willing to share all the sweet and bitter, joys and sorrows of life with you. It is inevitable that we will have to face setbacks and wait. We must look up bravely. Who wants to hide in a safe harbor forever? We would rather have the freedom of rough seas. I wish to be the lighthouse in your heart, watching over you and letting you see through the fog. The sun always comes after the storm, and there is clear sky above the dark clouds..."
Except for Yang Chunhua and Xu Chun who were still in a daze, everyone else in the room had an infatuated expression on their faces.
After Xu Qianqian finished singing, there was warm applause in the room.
Yun Jiaojiao couldn't help but praise.
"Qianqian, you sing so well."
"Yes."
Lin Qingluo gave Xu Qianqian a thumbs up.
"Aunt Deying, you have to recruit such a talented young man into your drama troupe as soon as possible."
"Qianqian, your father has recovered and is now discharged from the hospital. You should report to the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe."
Li Deying couldn't wait to speak, as if someone was trying to snatch the good seedling from her.
"You will also be paid while studying at the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe."
"During the study period, food and accommodation are provided, and the salary is 40 yuan per month."
"After completing my studies and passing the exam, I'll become a full-time actor in the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe. Food and accommodation will be provided, and I'll get a monthly salary of 60 yuan, plus holiday benefits."
Become a formal drama actor and you can get a salary of 60 yuan per month!
At the end of the year, that would be 720 yuan.
This is more money than what her parents make from farming at home for a year.
Xu Qianqian was so excited that it was difficult to describe in words.
"Ah."
She nodded heavily to Chu Jie and Li Deying with excitement.
"As soon as my dad recovers and is discharged from the hospital, I will immediately report to the Jiangcheng Drama Troupe."
"I will study hard and not let my two aunts down."
"Qianqian's mother."
"Girl Qianqian."
"Are you and your daughter home?"
A shout from outside the yard interrupted Xu Qianqian's words.
Xu Qianqian turned her head to glance outside, then retracted her gaze and said to Yun Jiaojiao and the others with a smile, "It sounds like the voice of the aunt next door. She must be here to sell the land. I'll go out and bring her in."
After informing Yun Jiaojiao and her group, Xu Qianqian strode out.
After a while, Yun Jiaojiao and her group saw her leading two women and one man back to the main hall.
"Sister Jiaojiao, Sister Qingluo, Sister Hanmei, this is Aunt Cuihe from next door, this is Uncle Xu Qiang, this is Uncle Xu Wang, they are all here to sell land."
Xu Qianqian introduced the three people to Yun Jiaojiao and her group one by one.
"Aunt Cuihe has two acres of land to sell."
"Uncle Xu Qiang and Uncle Xu Wang each have three acres of land to sell."
"Their land is not far from mine, and it's all sandy soil, so we can only grow sweet potatoes and potatoes."
"Aunt Chu Jie, Aunt De Ying, let's go take a look."
Yun Jiaojiao smiled at the three of them, then turned her head and glanced at Chu Jie and Li Deying.
"If we like it, we'll buy it."
"Ah."
Chu Jie and Li Deying responded to Yun Jiaojiao in tacit understanding, and then stood up in tacit understanding.
The group walked out in a mighty procession.
"Qianqian girl, are you guys going to the countryside?"
As soon as she walked out of Xu Qianqian's house, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, came towards her and stopped her to ask questions.
"Yes."
"Uncle Xu Shan, Aunt Dongmei, have you two had lunch?"
Every family in Xujiaba has the surname Xu. A hundred years ago, everyone had the same ancestor.
Because they were relatives, Xu Qianqian stopped and greeted them with a smile.
"I've eaten, I've eaten."
Middle-aged man: "Qianqian, I heard that your distinguished guest wants to buy land, so we are here to sell it."
