Lu Hai was her son. This kid has always been the leader among the kids wherever he goes since he was a child. As a woman, she has no special abilities, and it was thanks to him that she was able to enter the Ministry of Transport.
She was never afraid that her son would be deceived. He was more cautious than anyone else. Until one day he told her that he had an adopted brother. She was really surprised at that time.
This brat is full of schemes and has never been submissive to anyone in his life. She is very curious about the Brother Ren he mentioned.
She had always wanted to meet Ren Jingxiao and his wife, but she knew that the time had not come yet.
When she actually saw the couple, Lu's mother felt that her previous worries were unnecessary, especially Ningxia's words, which clearly told her that they were interested in Lu Hai and did not want to be with him.
"Haizi is the only child in my family. If you don't mind, just treat him as your younger brother and let him do whatever needs to be done."
Mother Lu understood Ningxia's intentions, but she couldn't really pretend nothing had happened. Without Ren Jingxiao, Lu Hai's cleverness and connections would never have gotten him the driver's position.
They can't live in the family housing complex either, and are probably still squeezed in that narrow alley.
And there was the meat before the New Year. Many families quarreled over a bite of it, but their family could still eat meat from time to time.
These were all given by the couple in front of her. Ningxia told her not to take it to heart, as she didn't want to be annoying.
She knew that the couple was capable and definitely didn't want her to thank them all the time.
"Well, Lu Hai is very smart. I will need his help in the future." Ningxia agreed without hesitation.
She liked Lu's mother very much. She was not as unreasonable as women of that era. She was very smart and had a methodical approach to things.
They were not overly enthusiastic, otherwise Ren Jingxiao and she would not be used to it. They knew their personalities as soon as they met. No wonder Lu Hai was so smart.
Lu's mother smiled and shook Ningxia's hand. Ren Jingxiao didn't say a word the whole time. If Lu Hai's father was still alive, he would say a few words. What Lu Hai's mother said was enough for his wife.
"Look at your belly, are you going to give birth soon?" Lu Hai's mother looked at Ningxia's belly with envy in her eyes, wondering when Haizi would give her a grandchild.
"It will take another two months." Ningxia touched her belly and replied with a smile.
"I heard from Haizi that your family members are all in Beijing, so you have to go to Beijing to give birth?" Lu Hai's mother asked casually, thinking that with such a big belly, they couldn't afford to delay on the road.
"Give birth here." Ningxia and Lu's mother were chatting here, and Lu Hai took Ren Jingxiao out.
"Since you don't have any family here, call me when you give birth. I'm free at home anyway, so I'll go and give you a hand." Mother Lu's words sounded familiar, but not offensive.
Ningxia hadn't thought much about it at first, but after hearing what Lu's mother said, she suddenly felt that things would work out. She hadn't decided who to ask for help.
"Auntie, to be honest, I'm pregnant with twins. I'm an educated youth, and my family isn't here. My husband's family is also in Beijing, and I'm still worried about what I'm going to do when the time comes to give birth!"
"If Auntie can come and help us when the time comes, it will be a great help to us." Ningxia did not mention any empty benefits or anything like that. They would subsidize Lu Hai and would not let them suffer any loss.
Ningxia doesn't have to worry about not finding someone to take care of her, but she worries about not finding someone who gets along with her.
Mother Lu is smart and there are no trivial matters at home. In addition, with the relationship between Lu and Hai, it seems to be the most suitable one.
"That's great! I, an old man, would love to help take care of the twins and share in their happiness. But we have to agree that you have to let me know when the babies are born."
Both of them are smart people. They don't say what they shouldn't say and don't ask questions that they shouldn't ask. Instead, they have a very happy chat.
Until Ren Jingxiao came to take Ningxia to pay New Year's greetings to Minister Zheng, Lu's mother was still holding Ningxia's hand and was reluctant to let her go. How great it would be if she were her own daughter-in-law!
"It's rare to see you like an older guy." Ren Jingxiao held Ningxia's hand and walked slowly towards Minister Zheng's house. Lu Hai had been to Minister Zheng's house in the morning and did not follow them.
"Well, Aunt Lu is easy to get along with." Ningxia curled her lips and smiled.
She has been here for so long, and except for those from the Shen family who have received higher education, everyone else, whether from the city or the countryside, gives her the impression of being difficult to deal with.
Even if there are good ones, those families have a lot of things to deal with, and Lu Hai's family only has mother and son.
Lu's mother also knew what was going on, and after spending so much time with Lu and Hai, she really felt that this family was very good.
"I want Aunt Lu to help me with my baby. Aunt Lu will definitely not want to give me money directly. Why not find a way to subsidize Lu Hai?"
Ningxia knew that Ren Jingxiao would not refute what she said, and he had originally planned to take Lu Hai with him.
"Okay, if you think it's reliable, I'll tell Lu Hai when the time comes. We'll definitely need a reliable person to help."
Ren Jingxiao was very happy when he heard this. He didn't trust anyone and planned to take a leave of absence to come and take care of Ningxia personally.
Lu Hai's mother is indeed a suitable match, and as for compensating Lu Hai, he would do it without Xia Xia saying anything.
Ningxia didn't refute it. After coming out of Dahei Mountain, they didn't trust anyone. But Lu Hai was so reckless, they didn't know when they trusted him more.
"Xia Xia, don't worry. If you doubt someone, don't employ him. Even if we go back to the old ways one day, we won't be sad." Ren Jingxiao understood the meaning in Ning Xia's eyes. He knew who Xia Xia was thinking of, but it was impossible for them to not get along with anyone for the rest of their lives.
Not everyone is Wang Wenbing. If he wants to go far, he must have people under his command.
Ningxia understood what Ren Jingxiao meant. She squeezed Ren Jingxiao's hand, her eyes full of approval.
When the two arrived at Minister Zheng's house, almost all the people who came to pay New Year's greetings had left. Minister Zheng saw them before Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia could say anything.
"Ren, I thought you guys wouldn't come!" Minister Zheng thought of his good friend's repeated instructions after returning to Beijing, and how he would call him from time to time to say hello.
He had planned to go and see them sometime if they hadn't come.
Because the Ministry of Transport had too much work to do this year, the workers had their holidays early. He had been attending meetings and going to the provincial capital to submit reports for the year, and only had time to rest during the two days of the New Year.
"Minister, we are here to wish you a happy new year." Not to mention that Minister Zheng is the boss of the Ministry of Transportation, just based on his relationship with his father, Ren Jingxiao should also come to wish you a happy new year.
"Come in and sit down." Minister Zheng smiled and patted Ren Jingxiao's arm. He looked at Ningxia who was standing beside him, and seeing her particularly big belly, he hurriedly welcomed her into the house.
"Wife, come out quickly." Minister Zheng didn't know how to deal with female comrades. This person was not a comrade from the department, so it was better for him to have his wife come.
Minister Zheng's wife came out of the house and was stunned to see Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia. She had heard Old Zheng mention Ren Jingxiao, but had never seen him.
What surprised her now was Ningxia's appearance. For some reason, she always felt that she looked very familiar.
