Many households have several generations squeezed together, and space is limited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mu listened seriously, although he still didn’t understand the reason behind Jiang Cheng’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she asking him to help allocate housing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t out of the question.

It might help boost the sales of the furniture factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mu finally understood what Jiang Cheng meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the blueprint and unfolded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blueprint was clear, simple, and straightforward, and Manager Mu understood it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised because he understood it so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This—you’re giving it to me? Just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng nodded calmly and smiled, \"Of course, today you’ve been running around to help me. I’m very grateful, but I’ll have to trouble you to lend me a car later, as I can’t take it back myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mu still couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, do you know what this blueprint represents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this something that can be offset by lending me a vehicle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I must give you a bonus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mu, being decisive, wanted to handle it right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager Mu, I only designed a folding table. I’m not particularly knowledgeable, but you could have a carpenter look at it.

Just wait and see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mu agreed readily, and Jiang Cheng got into the truck with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was still Master Li, whom she met last time in the provincial city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vehicle, Jiang Cheng chatted perfectly with Master Li, making him feel happy and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the truck arrived at the four-five alley, Master Li got out to help move the furniture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, drivers are experts and don’t usually do such heavy tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Master Li worked up a sweat without wanting to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had really good rapport with people. Almost everyone in the compound who was home came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone lending a hand, everything was moved in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng was the first to see Master Li off, and before he got into the car, she pushed four large apples into his hands without allowing him to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your hard work. If I need something next time, don’t find me bothersome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you must find me! It’ll be handled flawlessly for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Li happily started the engine and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping Jiang Cheng was the manager’s request; he had to come, whether he wanted to or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Cheng could turn this into something Master Li was willing to do on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Master Li off, Jiang Cheng returned to the compound and thanked everyone who helped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, she didn’t give away anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying her thanks, Jiang Cheng turned to Grandma Shen, who had been watching her door, and walked over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose grandma looks so spirited here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng but then spread her arms and asked, \"Does it fit well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely fits!

They just look decent at first, but once you put them on, they definitely look better than before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They say clothes make the person, but I think you make the clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen was giddy from Jiang Cheng’s compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really look good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! You have to trust my eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen smoothed the wrinkles with her hands, took a glance front and back, and said, \"Alright! I’ll wear them then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng smiled and said, \"Wear them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder and the younger began tidying up the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the furniture was moved in, it was already positioned properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen wiped it twice with a cloth, and it was almost done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Jiang Cheng had planned to go to the textile factory to fetch curtains and bedding fabric, but because of Zhou Zhennan, it hadn’t been accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s okay; good things are worth waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng first brought over the bedding she used at the Shen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was time for the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after moving did she realize the surprise of the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the translation assignments from Xinhua Bookstore, Jiang Cheng had many of her own books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Lü gave her many, and Elder Xu from Beijing had mailed her lots of materials and books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the books she previously found in the junkyard, it took more than twenty trips in total to move them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the books were placed on the shelf by the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen looked at the fully packed shelf and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The shelf is full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay, there is a new shelf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen naturally took Jiang Cheng’s hand and said, \"Don’t overwork yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t! I love reading, and it teaches me so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng naturally hugged Grandma Shen’s arm and affectionately asked, \"Grandma Shen, what are we having for dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen pretended to dislike and said, \"Always thinking about food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who told you your cooking is so good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Grandma Shen confidently said, \"Although you’re flattering me, there’s some truth in what you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Grandma Shen put her hands behind her back and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sort things out yourself, I’m going to cook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng responded with a smile and continued organizing the small miscellaneous items in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, Shen Xing returned alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue had been sent to art class by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After class, Grandma Zhao would bring Shen Yue home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every time, Grandma Zhao would stop at the alley entrance, watch Shen Yue enter the compound, and then leave, never coming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, when Shen Yue was brought back, Jiang Cheng was waiting at the alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Teacher Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Zhao acknowledged with a nod and left without much conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng didn’t insist on keeping her, just said, \"Goodbye, Teacher Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue followed, saying, \"Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, the teacher doesn’t like crowds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng held Shen Yue’s hand as they went home, and the four of them had dinner together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Shen Xing and Shen Yue checked next door, reluctantly coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was just next door, it somehow felt a little farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xing: I wish Sister could stay forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue: Why couldn’t big brother move out instead??\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","62a4c8e8aa1e88b585836b018720749cd39f199b96a9eddf73fb2e4d74d87ef1","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-122","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-154",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
