Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Plum Blossom Brand Watch Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Plum Blossom Brand Watch But she still had to do chores, the Jiang Family didn’t keep idlers, and there were even more tasks to do after the spring began.
The only way she could avoid chores was to go to school.
As she was thinking, she saw the eldest house’s family getting ready to leave and hurriedly ran over, “Third Sister, are you going to town? Take me with you, I want to make a phone call to Brother Yu too.”
The old lady heard this but didn’t scold her like last time.
But Jiang Changhai didn’t plan on taking her with him, he was trying to avoid it at all costs, so why would he bring her along?
“This time we’re going to town to have dinner at a friend’s place, it wouldn’t be convenient to bring you.”
Zhaodi heard this and pursed her lips, just about to say something, when Zhao Xiaojuan quickly said, “Then you all should go quickly, Zhaodi has plenty of chores to do at home still.”
These days, no family was well-off, and Jiang Changhai already had three mouths to feed when visiting a friend’s place for a meal; he couldn’t afford to bring along a niece to freeload as well.
Seeing that her mother had spoken, Zhaodi could only obediently nod her head and didn’t mention going with them again.
When the family reached town, Jiang Changhai called Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng answered the phone and immediately said, “Little Lamb, have you received the gift Brother sent you?”
Telephone operator: “…”
He hadn’t had the chance to say that this time the caller was a man.
He held back, but his tone was still not very friendly, “Buddy Yu, it’s me, your Uncle Jiang.”
“Hello, Uncle Jiang,” Yu Cheng smoothly corrected himself, “I sent Aunt Wan’s birthday gift, it should have arrived today. You can go to the post to check.”
“Alright, I’ll go in a bit.” Jiang Changhai got straight to the point, “Buddy Yu, about that transportation company you mentioned before, did you find out more about it for me?”
“Uncle Jiang, you can go there anytime.”
“That’s great, then I will go over in a while. Yu Cheng, you’ve really helped me a lot this time. Next time you come over, Uncle Jiang will treat you to a big meal.”
Jiang Mianmian took the phone and said a few words, then hung up. The family went to the post to retrieve the package Yu Cheng had sent. Upon opening it, they found a ladies’ Plum watch.
“This gift is too expensive, I can’t accept it,” said Su Wanyu, both surprised and rational, knowing that without factory coupons, this watch must cost two hundred yuan.
Seeing her reluctant to put it down, Jiang Changhai knew she really liked it and said, “Alright, we can return this watch and I will buy you another one.”
Su Wanyu shook her head, “Let’s not, it’s too expensive, and I don’t need it for daily use.”
In the end, of course, she kept it, but that was a matter for later. For now, the family continued on to the town’s transportation company.
The transportation company was large, with dozens of big trucks parked in a courtyard, looking very imposing and impressive.
“My goodness, so many trucks! How much does one of these big trucks cost?” Su Wanyu exclaimed.
Jiang Changhai had never even seen a bus going to the county town before, seeing so many big trucks now was even more shocking to him.
“These trucks look so great, so imposing. It would be nice if we could ride around in one someday.”
Men love cars, and Jiang Changhai was no exception. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the trucks.
Jiang Mianmian, who had seen high-speed trains and airplanes in the new century, didn’t find these trucks intriguing.
However, she was very positive in encouraging her father, “Dad, once you get into the factory, work hard. If there’s a chance, learn how to drive with the older drivers. When you get your license, you can drive yourself and won’t need to envy anyone else.”
