Without any hesitation, Jiang Shan gently said to Ruhua: "We will accompany you to see your father for the last time."
Upon hearing this, the picturesque eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Before the tears could fall, the little girl reached out and wiped them twice, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
"That's right, little brother is right," Jiang Chuan came over, bent down and hugged Ru Hua: "I will accompany you wherever you go from now on."
"Think about it now," Jiang Shan stood up: "Fortunately, you both have poor grades, so you won't delay the college entrance examination no matter what."
"Lao San." Jiang He gave Lao San a cold look.
"Brother," Jiang Chuan said even more anxiously: "How long has it been and you still have to take the exam?"
"Your little brother is right," Ying Ruhua slowly stood up. She looked at Jiang Chuan with gratitude and apology: "Thankfully your grades are not good, otherwise I would be embarrassed to let you accompany me."
"Why does this sound so awkward to me?"
Jiangchuan didn't want to think any more, so he held up an umbrella and hugged Ruhua and went out.
"This kid," Jiang Shan looked around, "doesn't know how to find an umbrella for his brothers."
It was windy and rainy all night, and the streets were covered with fallen leaves and branches.
The three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family accompanied Ying Ruhua all the way back home.
During his lifetime, Ruhua's father was the person in charge of a North-South goods store.
The efficiency of the unit is good, and I was allocated a three-bedroom apartment very early.
"Which floor is it?"
"Keep climbing," Jiang Chuan looked back at his brother and said, "The picturesque home lives on the top floor."
Standing outside the unit door, Jiangshan looked up.
Fortunately, the buildings nowadays are not very high, only five floors in total.
After climbing a few floors, the sound of crying could be heard in the corridor.
Jiangshan and Jianghe looked at each other and continued to move up silently.
The door of Ying's house was wide open, and four people walked in one after another.
Just as they imagined, Ying Ruhua's home was full of people.
"picturesque,"
Suddenly, a plump woman in her forties walked over to the little girl and said, "Why are you so ignorant? Your house is in such a mess, and you still run out."
Jiang Shan looked at her coldly. If he guessed correctly, this should be the legendary stepmother.
"Her sister-in-law," another lesbian came over. She was thin and frail, with white hair on her temples: "Don't scare Ru Hua. She has never experienced this. It's a pity that she lost her mother at a young age. Until now,
Dad went too... ugh,"
Looking at his red and swollen eyes, he must have been crying a lot.
"Just spoil her," the fat sister-in-law also wiped her tears: "I don't know when this child will know what's good..."
Ying Ruhua said nothing and walked silently to the back room.
"Who are you two?" The thin woman looked at the Jiang brothers standing at the door.
"They are my brothers," Jiang Chuan, who followed Ruhua halfway, turned around and said.
The brothers roughly guessed each other's identity from their sister's in vain glances.
"It turns out they are Xiaochuan's brothers. I am Ruhua's mother. Thank you for your hard work in sending her back..."
Two brothers who feel like they are neither standing nor sitting.
After saying hello to Jiangchuan, I was going to go back to the Oriental Metropolis Newspaper office across the street.
"What's wrong with Ying Ruhua's stepmother..."
On the way, Jiang He always felt that his imagination was contrary to reality: "He doesn't look like a bad person."
"No one said she is a bad person, but if she is like this, if she becomes bad... you will not be her opponent."
The heavier the rain, the faster the country moves.
Jiang He paused for a few seconds in the rain, and then quickened his pace: "I heard from Xiaochuan that the woman brought a son and a daughter with her when she got married."
"You don't want to beat her son, do you?"
"That's seven inches of her."
"Okay, let's go together."
By noon, the rain had still not weakened at all.
But the morning meeting of Pujiang Daily finally had some clues.
Wei Yuanxing, sitting in the conference room, compared the results of his comrades' research all morning.
"I think... the three-day decryption advertisement is more reliable,"
Wei Yuanxing did not forget that it was the Oriental Metropolis Daily's decrypted advertisement for four consecutive days that pushed the reputation of Red Star Shampoo to the highest point in one fell swoop.
Not only is it high-end, but its discount promotion method has directly overshadowed the momentum of "Spring Thunder".
The editor-in-chief has not forgotten it, and neither have other comrades in the office.
"I also think it's the best."
"How about choosing it and publishing it so that readers can see the level of our newspaper."
"These three days of decrypted advertising may even boost the sales of Pujiang Daily."
"It's really possible."
"Editor-in-Chief Wei, I will proceed as you decide."
Wei Yuanxing liked the meeting atmosphere where people spoke enthusiastically.
"Since everyone has the same idea, the Napo Chemical Plant soap advertisement has been finalized."
Just after noon, Jiang Shan walked into the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau in the heavy rain.
"Chief Jiang," Deputy Director Dai was quite surprised when he received a call from the communication room: "Why are you free to come to me today?"
"This is the experience summary report after the trade fair," Jiang Shanduan sat on the chair: "I specially sent you one."
"This is a good thing," Deputy Director Dai took the information: "We will have experience when the next trade fair is held."
After exchanging pleasantries for a few words.
Jiang Shan got straight to the point: "Director Dai, the leader of Red Star Chemical found our newspaper office last night."
"Oh?" Of course Deputy Bureau Dai knew the reason: "Why are they looking for your newspaper so late?"
Jiangshanhui reported: “I would like to ask us to help advertise the soap in the warehouse.”
"The soap from the Red Star Factory should have been disposed of long ago."
"I heard that there are more than twenty soap factories in the city, and they are in the same situation as Red Star!"
At this point in the conversation, Deputy Bureau Dai did not intend to hide it: "Xiao Jiang, in the past few days, the comrades of the Light Industry Bureau and I have been worrying about this matter!"
Jiang Shan has been waiting for the other party's reaction: "Two soap factories have advertised today."
"Director Yang from the Light Industry Bureau and I went from house to house yesterday to say hello," Deputy Bureau Dai explained: "I guess they started contacting the newspaper as soon as we left yesterday."
Jiang Shan nodded: "I see, I don't know how effective the advertising is?"
"We'll know in two days whether it's effective or not," Deputy Director Dai himself was also waiting for news: "By the way, your newspaper is responsible for the advertising of Red Star Daily Chemicals, right?"
"Yes, we are solely responsible,"
"Full responsibility?" Deputy Bureau Dai shook his head: "It's not easy. Is Editor Jiang sure of it this time?"
Jiang Shan lowered his head and smiled: "Let alone Red Star Chemical Company, even if it is the soap in Pujiang City, our newspaper office..."
Halfway through his words, Jiang Shan stopped talking as Deputy Bureau Dai's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Huh? Why don't you continue talking?"
"Look at my mouth," Jiang Shan smiled sheepishly: "The more I talk, the farther I go. I came here today to give you an experience report."
After saying that, Jiang Shan stood up and prepared to leave: "Director Dai, I won't disturb your work for now."
"Where is the interruption,"
Seeing that Jiang Shan was about to leave, Deputy Director Dai prepared a rare gift: "Xiao Jiang, you and your brother are both rare talents. Come to my place more often if you have nothing to do in the future."
"Okay," Jiang Shan quickly smiled and nodded: "I'll remember it."
A few days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
The three Jiang brothers and sisters stood in Jiang Chuan's room.
Their eyes were focused in the same direction.
Wearing a white shirt and green military trousers, Ying Ruhua stood in front of them with a travel bag in his left hand and a cloth bag in his right hand.
"I...can I stay at your house for a while?"
"Kicked out by stepmother?" As soon as Jiang Shan asked the first question, he was pushed aside by his younger sister.
"It's so nice and picturesque," she walked over and took Ruhua's arm: "You should have moved out of that house long ago. To be honest, I panicked as soon as I saw your stepmother smiling."
Ying Ruhua opened her big eyes and nodded vigorously.
Last night, after all the guests at home had left, Ying Ruhua's stepmother, Lan Shuhua, began to talk to her daughter.
Presenting facts and reasoning have always been her strengths.
To Ying Ruhua, the other person always meant the same thing.
"I have worked hard in your family for so many years, and I have seen your face for so many years. It is impossible for me to continue to live like this."
Now that her former lover has been rehabilitated, it is time to give her two children a complete home.
Only then did Ying Ruhua understand that the truth can also be said in reverse.
"I also want to go to my aunt's house in Nanjing, but I'm just afraid..." Ying Ruhua's voice became smaller and smaller: "I can do all the housework... It only takes one year, and I will move away after I get into college."
"You don't have to go anywhere," Jiang Chuan immediately interrupted: "Just stay at my house, it doesn't matter how long you stay, right little brother."
"Why are you asking me?" Jiang Shan was still at the place where Ruhua said he was going to college: "Why don't you ask your second brother."
"Second brother will definitely agree," Jiang Chuan looked at Jiang He: "Right, second brother."
“You can stay as long as you want.”
After saying that, Jiang He turned around and walked out.
"As long as you can do housework."
Jiang Shan smiled at the two little girls: "Now that we have decided, let's stay down and settle down."
"thank you all."
Ying Ru Thrush stood there with clear eyes and did not show any pity.
Although he still spoke softly, there was a bit of stoicism on his face that he had never seen before.
After returning to the room, Jiang Shan lay down directly on the bed: "Brother, why do you think young girls nowadays are so brave? They just picked up a bag and ran away from home."
"What does she mean by being bold?" Jiang He said with a cold face, "The educated youth back then were called bold. Who didn't leave their hometown at a young age?"
After saying this, Jiang Shan thought carefully: "That's right!"
"Besides, did she run away from home?" Jiang He shook his head: "She was kicked out."
"This little girl is lucky to have our Xiaochuan."
"Have you read the advertisement in Pujiang Daily?" Jiang He suddenly changed the subject.
Jiang Shan had already seen it: "Are you talking about a soap commercial?"
The soap advertisement in "Pujiang Daily" was completed in three days.
Day one: red, orange, white, purple, a string of text followed by a big question mark.
The next day: clean and transparent, but there is still a big question mark behind it.
On the third day: Pujiang Daily Chemical’s colored soap is your best choice.
"What did your advertisement say?" Jiang He continued to ask with concern.
"I informed Uncle Jiefang in the morning," Jiang Shan said with a smile while lying on the bed: "Take advantage of Pujiang Daily Chemical's advertisement to move out the soap and sell it quickly."
Anyway, these soaps are unpackaged and just sit in a pile on the counter.
"Whatever the other party sells is how much they sell..."
"Hey," Jiang He laughed, then looked at the soap in the small carton: "There really aren't any marks on it."
