Zhou Zhaodong noticed Shen Jianguo's expression, but it was still very stiff and unnatural.

This guy is really weird. Director Jiang has never spoken to him, so why did it become like this? It seems that he was abandoned.

After the four of them finished their meal, they thanked Hao Shichao again before leaving.

They were separated from the city and had to go on a date.

Shen Jianguo took Pan Xiulan home. After arriving, Chen's mother's expression was not good, but she did not make a fuss either.

"Auntie, we have set the furniture today." Pan Xiulan said to Chen's mother with a smile.

"Go to the furniture factory?"

"Well, I know Secretary Hao from the furniture factory. Although he did not give a discount, it was much cheaper than buying outside. He even gave him a small stool."

“How much did it cost?”

"I spent 18, just like Secretary Song."

Chen's mother stopped talking. She was not a stingy person, nor did she think about making things difficult for her daughter-in-law. She was a little uncomfortable with her son, so she was like this.

He stood up and took out a dozen money and handed it to Pan Xiulan. "This is two hundred, you can take it. I wonder if the remaining money is enough to buy curtains or something?"

"Thank you, aunt, it should be enough. We bought fabrics in the textile factory and the internal price. I just don't know how much I can buy? I'll go to work tomorrow."

"Well, look at the arrangement. I have saved up tickets for cotton and other things, but not much, I can buy four beds to celebrate the gift."

"Auntie, I also have cotton tickets. I haven't used it for so many years. It's enough for four beds of cotton."

"Okay, you have prepared two beds. I'll find someone to do it. Your home is far away, so prepare here. Keep the remaining cotton tickets. If you have children in the future, there will be more places to use cotton."

Pan Xiulan was said to be very blushing, but she still nodded with a smile. Of course she agreed.

"Auntie, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask Secretary She at noon tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll give you all the cloth tickets and cotton tickets later."

Shen Jianguo was relieved when he watched it while watching. He was really surprised that he could get along with him.

Next, the two discussed what else they needed. Pan Xiulan took notes and Chen's mother looked very satisfied. She felt that this daughter-in-law was obedient.

"Get the supply and marketing cooperative to buy plates and bowls."

"Auntie, I heard from Director Jiang of our textile factory that I could go to Secretary Hou of the ceramic factory and said that many of the defective products selected there could be used. I was thinking about calling Secretary Hou on Monday to ask about the situation. If possible, I should be able to save a lot of money."

Mother Chen smiled now. It is a good thing for women to live.

So dinner was revealed. Although it was a cold noodles with two kneading noodles, it was good to braised, and it was diced beans, which was a rare situation.

The Shen family and his son were relieved when they saw the mother and mother getting along well. No one wanted to be in chaos all day long.

"Xiulan. Stay here and go to work tomorrow."

"Auntie, I can't. I've had too much sweat this day and I haven't changed my clothes. I'd better go back."

"It's okay. Let Jianguo pick you up next Friday. You come here to stay with your clothes for two days."

Pan Xiulan nodded with a smile and did not refute.

Shen Jianguo rode his bike to see Pan Xiulan off. "I'll be relieved if you can get along well with my mother."

"That's your mother, the old man, even if what she said is wrong, I'll listen."

Shen Jianguo was very satisfied. This was also the reason why he agreed to have a partner with Pan Xiulan when he had someone else in his heart.

When he arrived at the door, Shen Jianguo suddenly grabbed his girlfriend's hand, "Xiu Lan, don't go to work tomorrow, let's go out to play?"

Pan Xiulan blushed and said in a low voice. "Next week, I want to work overtime this week, so I can stay for a few more days after getting married."

She returned to the dormitory. Before Song Qingqing came back to the dormitory, she took her clothes to the bathhouse. She was not feeling well this day.

She slept alone all night, and Song Qingqing did not come back. She could live together after getting engaged, but Pan Xiulan didn't want to do this.

Shen Jianguo came to pick her up on Sunday night, "Shulan, do you live at home?"

Pan Xiulan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"You wait for me, I'll go take a shower, and I'll save you going home to take a shower."

"Um."

In the morning, the family had rice with sorghum rice, as well as pancakes, potato slices, minced garlic cabbage, egg red pickles, and a salted egg for each person.

When Pan Xiulan was eating salted eggs, she gave Shen Jianguo the yolks with oil, and Chen's mother was even more satisfied.

I slept with Shen Jianguo's sister at night, so Pan Xiulan was quite satisfied. I haven't obtained a marriage certificate yet, so it's better not to be together.

I went to egg pancakes and rice in the morning. They made them together.

When I arrived at the door of the textile factory, I said, "I will pick you up home today, right?"

“It’s so troublesome.”

"How could it be troublesome? That's it." Shen Jianguo took Pan Xiulan's hand after saying that.

"Well, okay, it's not too early, I'll still take a shower in the bathhouse."

After the meeting, Pan Xiulan called Hou Wenquan and said she would ask him to pick it up on Saturday. She also called She Xiaoyun. At noon, Deputy Director Yao's bicycle borrowed by him went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the back mattress for six beds and the mattress list.

"Congratulations to Secretary Pan."

"Thank you Secretary She."

"Why are you polite? I'll leave the candy for you in advance."

"That's so thankful. I won't be bothering Secretary She in the future."

"Well, you're welcome."

In the afternoon, Pan Xiulan also bought a white cotton cloth and kept it as a quilt. She went to the small warehouse and picked a lot of flower cloth to use as curtains and door curtains.

When Shen Jianguo came to pick her up at night, the two of them walked back because there were too many things.

"Xiulan, this little flower cloth is good."

"I like it very much, too. There was something wrong with our factory printing and dyeing. In fact, you can't see it if you don't look carefully."

"The curtains are made from the two sides, so it looks good."

"Auntie, look at the arrangement."

"Xiulan, can you make clothes?"

"Yes, it's just not well cut."

"Okay, your uncle has a sewing machine ticket, and I'll buy you a sewing machine."

"Okay. OK. Just put it here. I'll just come here when I use it."

"No need. I'll let you go."

"Auntie, that's my family and yours, and this is my family."

Mother Chen nodded happily. She said, "The daughter-in-law is so sensible."

After dinner, Shen Jianguo took Pan Xiulan out for a walk. In the dark night, the two hugged for the first time and kissed them awkwardly for the first time.

Both of them were quite embarrassed, but men were more proactive than women, so their relationship was progressing very quickly.
