Chapter 8 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
A car drove into the village entrance; this was the first time a car had entered Sijia Village.
Although the road is difficult to travel on, it is wide enough to easily accommodate a small car.
When the villagers saw a car enter the village for the first time, they all stopped what they were doing and stared at it curiously.
The village children chased after it excitedly; it was the first time they had ever seen such a beautiful little car, and they were incredibly curious.
The car drove towards the village chief's house and stopped in the open space in front of his yard in no time.
The car door opened, and a woman with slightly curly hair stepped out, wearing a gray coat, black leather boots, and a head of black leather boots.
Upon hearing the car, the village chief seemed to remember something and quickly came out to greet it.
At first, no one recognized who the woman was, until the village chief came out.
"Director Si, you've arrived. Please come in and have a seat. Everyone's here today."
"Village chief, you flatter me. Just call me Si Yan. If it weren't for your care when I was a child, I wouldn't be who I am today."
The village chief smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Please come in."
As Si Yan walked into the courtyard, all the Si family relatives inside showed expressions of shock.
Si Yan must be almost forty years old now, how come she still looks so young? Having money really makes a difference.
"Siyan, I'm your aunt. I even held you when you were little, do you remember?"
“We’re all your legitimate relatives, but the village chief won’t even give us a single worker’s spot. Don’t you think that’s going too far?”
Si Yinyin approached Si Yan with a fawning expression. Although she was only a few years older than Si Yan, her face was covered with wrinkles, suggesting that she hadn't had a good life over the years.
These people wanted to divide up the property left by the original owner's parents. If it weren't for the village chief stopping them, they probably would have even sold Si Yan to a fool for a dowry.
So, after learning about these things through the system's help, Si Yan set the condition that only junior high school graduates could go.
Because none of these relatives had even graduated from junior high school.
“Aunt, it’s good that you still remember me. Didn’t you tell me to go to the village chief if I needed anything? Just consider this relationship over.”
"What, you've remembered me now?"
"And work matters also need to be handled according to rules and regulations. How can someone who hasn't even graduated from junior high school understand the instruction manual?"
At this point, Si Yan paused for a moment and turned to look at the village chief.
"Besides, I have absolute faith in the village chief. Everyone should just follow his instructions."
"I'm here today in a private capacity. The village chief took good care of me back then, and now that I'm capable, how can I not repay him?"
As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, the butler brought out the gifts, which included high-end cigarettes, alcohol, and fabrics, as well as various imported candies and pastries.
They also gave the village chief a radio, which was the first radio in Sijia Village.
I haven't heard of anyone in the nearby villages being able to afford it; it's a high-end item.
Si Yinyin and her group were filled with envy and jealousy, and at the same time, they were filled with regret. If they had treated her better back then, would all these things have been theirs?
Si Yan didn't pay attention to their thoughts. After giving the gifts to the village chief and exchanging a few more pleasantries with him, she returned to the city, since her daughter was still waiting for her at home.
Meanwhile, Lin Youyou also ran into an old classmate, the one she used to have the worst relationship with.
"Youyou, Lin Youyou, is that you? I'm your high school classmate, Wang Yingying. Do you remember me?"
"I remember? What, how many times did we argue during those three years of high school? You've already forgotten after only six months since graduation?"
"Sigh, I was so naive back then. Now that I'm in the workforce, I realize how annoying I was. I apologize to you."
"No, there's no need for that. I didn't lose anything."
Seeing that Lin Youyou's expression didn't seem angry, Wang Yingying continued to ask.
“Youyou, all my high school classmates had a gathering at Crescent Park this week. I heard from them that you recently moved, and they can’t get in touch with you.”
"It's fate that we met. You absolutely have to come! I heard our class heartthrob is coming too."
"really?"
Hearing that the class heartthrob was coming, Lin Youyou became interested. After all, this class heartthrob was also Lin Youyou's crush during her school days.
It's a pity that others got into top universities while I didn't even get into a junior college. I felt so inferior that I didn't even dare to write a letter.
She only talked about her ex-fiancé Xiao Yi because it made her look good.
However, because she acted so well, they thought she was deeply in love with Xiao Yi.
Pshaw, who would like an egomaniac?
But I won't tell anyone.
Now that I have my own mother, I wonder if I can develop a relationship with the most popular guy in my class?
Thinking of this, Lin Youyou smiled faintly.
"Yingying, please tell the class monitor that I'll be there. Also, is it Saturday or Sunday?"
"No problem, I'll let the class monitor know. It's Saturday, so please make sure you come."
After saying goodbye to Lin Youyou, Wang Yingying left.
Lin Youyou also slowly walked home.
I ran into Si Yan, who was also returning home, as soon as I got home.
"Mom, you're back! How did it go? Did you take care of things back home?"
"Of course, it wasn't anything big, just visiting one of Mom's elders. How about you? Did you enjoy shopping today?"
"I'm so happy! I even ran into an old classmate, and she invited me to her class reunion."
"Oh, I see. How many students are in your class? Would you like Mom to give them a gift?"
"Really? Won't that be too much of a burden on Mom? My relationship with them isn't that close."
"It's alright. Mom is just trying to make her daughter look good. It won't cost much. You just need to tell Mom how many people are coming, and I'll have the housekeeper deliver the gifts to you on the day of the event."
"Thank you, Mom. You're the best."
At this moment, Lin Youyou and her classmates had no idea that the gift Si Yan was preparing to give was a watch.
In this day and age, watches are a luxury item.
