A burst of smoke and smoke rose in the small courtyard. An Xin stood in the open-air kitchen and was busy working in full swing. The sound of the collision of shovels and iron pots echoed in the courtyard.
At the same time, the pot kept making crackling sounds.
This was the sound of frying. Anjie, who was standing aside, shrugged her nose and took a sharp breath. She couldn't help but sigh as she smelled the aroma that hit her face.
"Sister, your skills are getting better and better."
“It smells so good!”
An Xin held up the ends of her hair that were blown by the wind: "Your brother-in-law taught me well."
"Taught it by my brother-in-law?"
An Jie was stunned, his eyes slightly opened, and he said dumbly.
"Brother-in-law never cooks, doesn't he?"
"If he can't cook it, he can eat it."
An Xin rolled her eyes at her: "Your brother-in-law's mouth is very finicky. He won't do it, but he can say it."
An Jie nodded, her sister was right, her brother-in-law's mouth was indeed very cunning, this was everyone's consensus.
Whenever something comes into my brother-in-law's mouth, he can always tell me how ugly it is, and he is always the right one.
Even the chef of a high-end restaurant in Daocheng would not dare to argue with his brother-in-law about the quality of the dishes.
In the past, Anjie had doubted whether his brother-in-law's tongue had been enchanted so he could taste things accurately.
"By the way, sister, I have some good news for you."
As she said that, Anjie slapped her head. She almost forgot one thing, a very important thing.
'Why is my memory getting worse and worse?'
‘One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years?’
"What's going on?"
An Xin glanced at her sister's belly and joked: "Are you pregnant again?"
"No way!"
Anjie quickly denied it, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was stunned.
This month, her menstruation did not seem to come on time. Before, she had never thought about pregnancy.
An Jie was not a mother for the first time. She had already given birth to two children. When An Xin said this, she felt that there was no possibility of pregnancy.
"Anjie?"
Seeing her sister standing still, An Xin couldn't help but put down the spatula and poked her with her hand.
"Isn't it because I was right?"
An Jie came back to his senses and shook his head: "Sister, we'll talk about this later. Let me tell you some good news first."
"Your establishment problem, if nothing unexpected happens, will be solved in a few days."
Hearing this, An Xin was not as happy as An Jie expected, but her brows furrowed.
Regarding the establishment matter, although Branch Secretary Jiao has not yet replied to the letter, but after such a long delay, An Xin vaguely understood what was going on.
After all, her identity is relatively sensitive.
No news almost means that it has not been approved.
But Anjie told her that she could approve it!
Why can it be approved?
It was probably Jiang Defu who came forward to help.
In fact, An Xin doesn't care now whether there is a staff or not. She likes the feeling of preaching and receiving vocations more and more.
Although Jiang Defu is his brother-in-law, his surname is Jiang. Over the years, their An family has owed enough to Jiang Defu.
If the debt continues, An Xin won't know how to pay it back.
An Xin is actually a very strong person at heart. She doesn't want to owe anyone else a favor, even if that person is her brother-in-law.
It is precisely because of this that she and her eldest brother did not let An Jie tell Jiang Defu about Ouyang.
"Sister? Are you unhappy?"
An Jie was surprised to see An Xin's frown.
"Anjie, you..."
An Xin glared at her sister. She originally wanted to remind An Jie not to bother Jiang Defu with anything, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that the words were too hot to speak out.
No matter what the cause of the matter is, she is the one who benefits.
Seeing that his sister seemed angry, An Jie thought about it and immediately understood what An Xin was angry about.
Then, she quickly stepped forward and hugged An Xin's arm.
"Sister, don't worry, Lao Jiang told me about this, and he said it does not violate the principles."
"Not only does it not violate the principles, it is also conducive to the educational work on Xiaoheishan Island."
"Sister, think about it, you are a serious college student, and you graduated from a prestigious university."
"In terms of level, you are much better than those previous teachers."
"Also, I didn't ask Lao Jiang to do this, he took the initiative to do it."
Looking at her sister who was almost squeezing into her arms, An Xin had a look of helplessness on her face.
How old are you, and you still act like a spoiled child?
"Go, go, go, I still want to cook."
An Xin waved her hand in disgust: "I'll talk to you about this later."
Regardless of whether Jiang Defu took the initiative to speak about this matter, An Xin felt that it was wrong to do so.
Because of An Jie's background, Jiang Defu has already suffered a huge loss.
If it weren't for An Jie, Jiang Defu would have been promoted by now.
Now Jiang Defu has helped him solve the problem of staffing. If someone later accuses him of being sympathetic to the old right, wouldn't it be harmful to Jiang Defu?
Songshan Island.
In the office of the Director of the Political Department.
"Comrade Jiang Defu, how can you interfere in the affairs of government agencies? Have you forgotten your own identity?"
At this moment, Jiang Defu is being criticized. His critic is none other than his next-door neighbor Wang Zhenbiao.
Jiang Defu is the chief of staff of the troops on the island, and Wang Zhenbiao is the head of the political department. They are both lieutenant colonel and deputy division level officers, and they are of the same rank.
However, Wang Zhenbiao focuses on work style construction and ideological and political issues. During non-combat periods, his voice is greater.
For example, now, he has the confidence to criticize an officer at the same level.
Because Jiang Defu made a mistake.
How can a military chief of staff, a lieutenant colonel-level officer, step beyond his level and interfere in the daily affairs of a government agency?
If everyone was like Jiang Defu, wouldn't the army be in chaos?
Jiang Defu knew he was in the wrong, so he did not refute, but just accepted the criticism obediently.
"besides."
Wang Zhenbiao turned over the documents on the table, said sternly with a sullen face.
"What is An Xin's identity?"
"She is a capitalist lady, and now her husband Ouyang Yi is a right-winger and is our enemy class!"
"When you help her, you are helping Lao You. Do you sympathize with Lao You?"
"Jiang Defu, let me tell you, don't take it seriously. Your current thoughts are very dangerous!"
Wang Zhenbiao kept criticizing Jiang Defu, as if Jiang Defu had made some huge mistake.
However, what is it actually like?
Jiang Defu did make a mistake, but he did not violate his principles.
Wang Zhenbiao was just using the topic to express himself. There was one thing that he deliberately did not mention.
He didn't say a word about the relationship between An Xin and An Jie.
They are sisters from the same mother, and An Xin is Jiang Defu's sister-in-law.
Although An Xin was born as a capitalist girl, that was all in the past, she is not now, and she herself is not a rightist.
Jiang Defu came forward to help his sister-in-law. Even if he made a small mistake, it was excusable.
