Chapter 131 Suddenly Becoming an Uncle
When Xie Hushan heard the other party calling him brother, he quickly put away his smile and stopped joking with Yang Limin. He first looked at the woman who was speaking, and then showed a look of surprise:
"Big sister? How did you find time to come to Zhongping from the countryside?"

The other party turned out to be the older sister from the Bingyang Bicycle Factory. The red scarves that Taozi and Daxiu wore during the Chinese New Year were bought for him by this older sister at half price, half given away, from the bicycle factory union for five dollars.

"Your name must be Xie Hushan." The eldest sister couldn't stop smiling at this time, and the second sentence she said was Xie Hushan's name.

Xie Hushan looked at the other party in confusion:

"It's me, but sister, I don't understand why my name is so funny?"

He looked at Yang Liming and the young female comrade next to him. It was obvious that the girl was Yang's girlfriend. She was in her early twenties and had a tall figure, almost catching up with Yang Liming's height.

She has short hair, wears a bright red handmade sweater, the collar of her dacron shirt is turned outside the sweater, and she wears a pair of blue work pants. She looks neat, fashionable and stylish, which is eye-catching.

As for appearance, I can only say that the girl is a good match for Mr. Yang, which is a show of love.

She has the height, the looks, and the ability, but why did she fall for Lao Yang, a bespectacled pretty boy who is as skinny as a dog...

At this time, the girl was also laughing so hard that she was shaking. She could hardly stand. She lowered her head, covered her mouth with one hand, and put the other hand on Yang Liming's shoulder. Her body kept shaking because she was trying to hold back her laughter.

The reactions of these two people at this time made Xie Hushan feel a little uneasy. Something must have gone wrong.
According to his guess, the situation shouldn't develop in this direction. Why did the three of them, including that pretty boy Yang Liming, look at him as if he were a clown?

Shouldn't it be that he was enthusiastic in providing Lao Yang's girlfriend with information that gave her a reasonable reason to lose her temper, so that she would have more sufficient and reasonable reasons to deal with Yang Liming, as well as the fact that he, a simple witness at the scene, was there to accuse Lao Yang of his work style?
"Leader..." Xie Hushan looked at Yang Limin who was holding the thermos and preparing to pour water:

"Please help me translate. Did I say something wrong?"

Yang Limin didn't even look at Xie Hushan. He picked up the thermos and filled the cup in front of the elder sister with water. He smiled and said to her:

"Jin Zi, look, there are unruly people at the bottom, right? Is it the same as what I said?"

Sister-in-law?

Is this elder sister Uncle Yang’s wife?
"Sister, is this our eldest nephew? He has grown so big?" Xie Hushan rushed over and took the thermos from Lao Yang's hand, and said to his elder sister with a smile.

When Yang Limin heard what Xie Hushan said, he laughed and cursed, "Get out of here!"

"Then tell me, why are my sister-in-law and eldest sister so happy when they see me, and how did they know my name without waiting for you to introduce me?" Xie Hushan helped his eldest sister refill the water and asked Yang Liming.

Yang Limin's partner calmed down a little at this time, tried to hide his smile, walked over and stretched out his hand to Xie Hushan:
"Hello, Comrade Xie Hushan, I am Lv Yuan, Yang Limin's..."

Halfway through her speech, she glanced at Yang Limin and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who am I to you?"

"My wife and I just got engaged last week, and we will definitely get married before the end of the year," Yang Liming immediately added to Xie Hushan.

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Seeing the young lady's posture of training her husband, Xie Hushan put down the thermos and held the other's outstretched hand with both hands:

"Sister-in-law, I'm Hu San'er, just call me Xiao San'er."

Shameless Yang Limin must have boasted to me before!
His mother-in-law even washes his clothes for him, but look how scared he gets when his wife glares at him!
It seems that Lao Yang got engaged to the daughter of the director of the Yaoshan District Mining and Metallurgical Administration Bureau not long ago, and he has no chance to enjoy the happiness of a single man.

Xie Hushan looked at Yang Limin with disdain, and said earnestly in the tone of an elder:
"Nephew, I'm not saying anything bad, but you should choose a date when I'm here to get engaged to my sister-in-law, so that I can share in the good fortune. You're so rude, and you're still a cadre, but you don't understand the ways of the world at all."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Shouldn't the parents of both parties make the arrangements?" Yang Limin picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water for Xie Hushan:

"Let go of my wife's hand! You just shook it once and that's it. Do you think the leaders of the two countries are meeting and taking photos? Why are you shaking slowly and waiting for the photo?" Xie Hushan let go of Lu Yuan's hand: "Sister-in-law, elder sister, what were you laughing at just now?"

When Lv Yuan heard Xie Hushan ask about this, she couldn't help but smile:
"When I was pinching him to vent my anger just now, I was asking him why a grassroots Youth League Committee secretary was so busy with his work that he didn't even have time to go to the city to see me. Did he meet another female comrade?"

"There's nothing wrong with what I said. You should deal with him in a tougher manner after listening to me. How can you stop such things just like that? Do you want a feather duster, sister-in-law? My master has it in his room. I'll get it for you." Xie Hushan asked in a very servile manner.

He was curious about this question. According to what he said when he entered the room, it was like a timely help and icing on the cake for Lu Yuan, which would allow her to give Lao Yang a good beating regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

"But after I finished speaking, he smiled and told us that it was a good thing that that bastard Xie Hushan went out of town to perform an escort mission. If he had been here, he would have fanned the flames and gossiped, and fully cooperated with me to falsely accuse him of having problems with his work style, so that I would have a sufficient reason to deal with him. As a result, you came in not long after he finished speaking, and it was exactly as he guessed." Lu Yuan explained to Xie Hushan why she and her elder sister were so happy.

Only then did Xie Hushan realize that he was a step too late.

Old Yang, this bastard, has already blocked Xie Hushan's way of slandering others to the leader's family.

Look, what a cunning man Old Yang is. He is completely focused on guarding against his peasant brother, and treats Xie Hushan as if he were a class enemy!
Can this really serve the people?

This must be an enemy spy lurking in the cadre team!
"Sister, what's your name..." This time, Xie Hushan took the initiative to shake hands with the elder sister.

"Call me aunt, don't call me sister all the time." Yang Liming frowned and said to Xie Hushan.

"Why should I call you aunt? Not to mention that my elder sister is so young, calling me aunt makes me look old. Even if we are relatives, my elder sister and I have known each other for a long time. Relationships are based on first come first served. Sister, you can just call me Hu Saner." Xie Hushan said.

The eldest sister and Xie Hushan shook hands warmly:

"No, I have known this guy for a long time. I met him last year. My name is Ma Jianhua."

After they introduced themselves to each other and started chatting, Xie Hushan found out that Lv Yuan was on break and came from Yaoshan City to visit Yang Liming. She had never been to Zhongping and this was her first time here. She was afraid she wouldn't find the place, so she asked Sister Ma to accompany her.

"It's great that we made it in time. Sister-in-law, elder sister, please wait for me." Xie Hushan turned around and went back to the compound.

At this time in the courtyard, Han Hongbing and Erxi had been surrounded by other people from the commune. A group of people were watching Erxi, who was acting like a dog, and asked Han Hongbing what foreign goods he had bought.

Seeing that the eight major members of the commune who had paid the advance payment were also present, Xie Hushan simply told them that it would take half a month or a month for the foreign goods to be shipped back, and they just had to wait for notification from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Picking up his two backpacks of foreign goods, Xie Hushan rushed back to Yang Limin's office, took out a few scarves, umbrellas, and Hong Kong shirts and handed them to Sister Ma:
"Big sister, take these back and give them away as rare items. Don't be polite. I have a lot of them."

While Sister Ma was still trying to refuse, Xie Hushan had already opened another backpack and took out a small and exquisite cosmetic bag and handed it to Lu Yuan:

"Sister-in-law, Lao Yang asked me to bring you a women's bicycle. It will arrive in a while. It's just a little gift from me for your engagement. It's not much money, just over 5,000 yuan. Just remember my kindness. Don't take it personally."

Lu Yuan had a happy smile on her face, but she did not take the makeup bag that Xie Hushan handed to her.

Yang Limin took it and flipped through it, saying:
"Bullshit, your subsidy is only 400 yuan, can you afford to buy something worth 5,000 yuan to give to others?"

"You old man, you look down on us farmers! Why do I have to be the exploited group? Let me tell you, the vast majority of farmers have stood up!" Xie Hushan first accused Yang Limin of looking down on farmers, and then said to Lu Yuan with a smile:

"Keep it, sister-in-law. If you want to ask Lao Yang for help through the back door, I, as your uncle, don't need to give him any gifts."

"Besides, four hundred yuan is nothing. Just let Lao Yang pay me back in installments. Let Lao Yang pay forty yuan a month. I'll waive the interest for your sake."
