Chapter 247: Please ask my second sister to go to the farm to work

"Five dollars and eighty cents."

Reported the number to my second sister.

Peng Shuangcheng took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket, then took out another dollar and placed them on the bedside table.

Luo Xinxin gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Director Zhang clenched his fists and silently recited the three major disciplines and eight points of attention: one should not hit people in the hospital.

"How much money do you have on you?"

He asked through gritted teeth, his eyes cold.

Peng Shuangcheng felt guilty, so he took out his wallet and pulled out a five-yuan note. Director Zhang's eyelids twitched when he saw this. He snatched the wallet away angrily, took out all the money inside, and stuffed it all into Xiang Ermei.

"Sister-in-law, take this money and buy nutritional supplements for you and your child. You both need to take good care of yourself!"

Xiang Ermei and her daughter were both pale and thin, with patched clothes on. In contrast, Peng Shuangcheng had a rosy complexion and wore a neat and clean military uniform. He did not look like a member of the same family as the mother and daughter.

Director Zhang mentally classified Peng Shuangcheng as a key SSSSS-level heart-to-heart talk target. His ideological decline was too serious, and he had to talk to him every day.

"Thank you, Director."

I sincerely thank my second sister. Director Zhang and Xiao Luo are both good people. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life.

"I was negligent in my work and caused my sister-in-law and children to suffer. I'm sorry."

After Director Zhang finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

"Director, please don't say that. It's my fault for bothering you with these things."

Xiang Ermei was shocked and quickly stopped him. She couldn't bear the leader's bow, it would shorten her life.

"Sister-in-law, you should have told me earlier. This is my job. If you are wronged again in the future, you must tell me and don't bear it yourself." Director Zhang said in a serious tone.

He knew very well that if his youngest daughter had not contracted meningitis this time, Xiang Ermei would probably have continued to endure it.

I nodded vigorously to my second sister, and my heart felt as if the sun was living in it, so warm.

Director Zhang asked Peng Shuangcheng to stay in the hospital to take care of his daughter and asked Xiang Ermei to go back and rest.

Xiang Ermei's eyes were dark circles, her hair was disheveled, and she looked very disheveled. She didn't look much better than the child in bed and needed a good rest.

"Thank you, Director. I would be scared if I couldn't see the child when he woke up. I'm not tired and I can hold on."

She refused her second sister. The youngest daughter was the most timid and was most afraid of Peng Shuangcheng. She didn't dare let Peng Shuangcheng stay.

Peng Shuangcheng didn't want to stay either. He had never participated in the growth of his three daughters for a single day, and he was impatient to take care of children. Men had to do big things outside, and taking care of children was a woman's job.

Director Zhang did not force him and took Peng Shuangcheng back to the military region.

Director Xu came to check again. The child's fever had subsided and now his temperature was normal. The imported medicine was indeed very effective and suppressed the condition on the first day.

Xiang Ermei was completely relieved. She took out the money from her pocket, counted it, and said happily, "There are more than thirty-five yuan. Sister, I'll return these ten yuan to you."

Luo Xinxin accepted the money.

"Sister, the method you taught me is really useful."

I admire Xiang Ermei very much. She is a cultured person and has a smart brain. She needs to find time to study in the future. She can't rely on others for everything and must stand on her own feet.

"Don't be soft-hearted in the future. You must keep a hold of Peng Shuangcheng's salary. You can give up the feelings, but you must hold on to the money!" Luo Xinxin taught her.

"I'm definitely not soft-hearted."

Xiang Ermei's tone was very firm. She no longer had any feelings for Peng Shuangcheng and just wanted to raise her three daughters well.

"You can't rely entirely on Peng Shuangcheng's salary. It would be best if you could get a job. Can't you use your connections at the sheet factory?" Luo Xinxin asked.

"The sheet factory is full, unless someone quits."

Xiang Ermei looked helpless. The sheet factory was not large, and there were too many people and too few jobs. It was difficult to accommodate all the wives of soldiers in the military district. Those with education were relatively easier to accommodate, such as Yuan Xiaojie, who was a teacher in her hometown, so it was natural for her to teach in the military district primary school.

She has no education, no skills, and no connections, so it is understandable that she is not given a chance.

Luo Xinxin thought for a moment and asked, "There are jobs on the farm, but they're far away, so you can't go home every day. However, you can learn skills, and your salary will definitely increase in the future."

She also had her own selfish motives, wanting to place her own people in the vineyard and winery, which seemed quite suitable for her second sister.

Xiang Ermei hesitated. She wanted to go back to work, but she was worried about her three children. So she asked, "How far is the farm from the military area?"

"It takes two hours to ride a bike, so four hours to go there and back. I definitely can't go back every day."

Luo Xinxin saw what she was thinking and asked, "If you're worried about the child, you can send him to school on the farm. There's also an elementary school on the farm, and we'll arrange a room for you and your mother then."

Xiang Ermei's eyes lit up and she said without hesitation, "I'm willing, sister. I'm willing to do anything."

As long as she can work and earn money, she is willing to do even the job of collecting excrement.

And she can also bring her children with her, so she has no worries at all.

"Okay, take care of the child first and wait for my news."

Luo Xinxin smiled and said goodbye to her.

"Be careful on the road, sister."

Xiang Ermei wanted to send her downstairs, but Luo Xinxin stopped her and asked her to go back to the ward to accompany the child.

When Luo Xinxin arrived at the farm, it was already past lunchtime. She ate a few meat buns on the way to fill her stomach so she wasn't hungry.

"Xiao Luo is here for work!"

People greeted us warmly along the way.

Luo Xinxin responded with a smile one by one, and she went directly to the office building to find Director Lei.

Director Lei was on the phone. After she went in, she didn't say a word and just sat quietly.

"Why did the province ask me for guidance on vineyard cultivation techniques? No need. I have technicians here, so the province doesn't need to send anyone. How could I say such a thing? I care about vineyards the most in the world. Vineyards are more important than my life. How could I joke about this?"

"If I say no, then no. Xiao Luo is better than the technicians you sent. You'll know next year if I'm bragging or not. Send whatever you want. I won't serve you anyway!"

Director Lei snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

He would not indulge his superiors. Who knows whether the person they sent is a human or a ghost? He would have to accompany them every day and treat them with good food and drink. It would be a waste of time and food.

The reason why Director Lei is disgusted with the so-called experts sent by the province is that he has suffered losses in the past. Now the city is in chaos. The experts are not necessarily real experts, and no one knows whose relatives they are. They are full of nonsense and pretend to be experts, cheating everywhere and delaying things.

He picked up the enamel pot and drank half a cup of water, and his anger subsided a little.

"Uncle Lei, are you going to a meeting in the province?" Luo Xinxin came over and asked.

Director Lei was so frightened that he almost dropped his cup and said angrily, "Can't you say something first?"

"What's so scary in broad daylight? Uncle Lei, you're a staunch materialist!"

Luo Xinxin made fun of him and got a big eye roll from Director Lei.

"Is your neighbor's child okay?" Director Lei asked with concern.

"I'm over the critical period, Uncle Lei, can you send me to the provincial meeting?"

Luo Xinxin volunteered, as she happened to be going to the province to find Qingfeng.
