Chapter 69 Chapter 69 (Second update) Of course she has to be kind to her...
Zhao Lizhu panicked when she heard this, "Auntie, I..."
The affair between Brother Xu Mo and Sister Qiu Ling had been kept secret from the family. She could probably guess why they didn't dare to make it public.
After all, if the relationship between the two were to get out, not to mention the gossip outside, I'm afraid my uncle and aunt would not be able to accept it.
She was so nervous that she was afraid she had exposed something. She wanted to tell a lie to get away with it, but when she saw the look in her aunt's eyes, she didn't know what to say.
"Actually, I knew it a long time ago." Lu Lianhua did not hide it from her. She had been waiting for Xu Mo to confess to her, but after waiting for such a long time, the boy still didn't dare to say anything.
The less he said, the more worried she became. If he had the courage to speak out, it would mean that he had made his choice and had the courage to face everyone.
But it was clear that he was not ready.
I originally thought I should just wait and see, maybe one day I’ll figure it out.
But now even his younger brother is getting married and he is still confused and has no idea what to do. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait.
That's why she said to Lizhu this time, "I'm not asking when you two met. I just want to know if she asked you about Xu Mo."
Zhao Lizhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "She asked me when Brother Xu Mo would be back."
"She must be very anxious." Although Lu Lianhua said nothing, she had eyes to see. She had noticed that Qiu Ling appeared around her more often in recent days.
Maybe it was because of a guilty conscience before.
I would avoid her if I could avoid her, but I couldn't hide from her, and I didn't dare to say a few words to her.
This is different from before. When Dazhu was still alive, the young couple often came to their house together, and if they met on the road, they would stay together and chat.
It’s not like now, where we can hide if we can, and if we can’t hide, we will find some excuses to leave immediately.
How could she believe me if I told her there was nothing wrong here?
She pretended not to see it, and partly because she didn't agree. Even though Xu Mo was her own son, she had to say that his behavior was irresponsible.
Being indecisive would only make Qiu Ling feel more uneasy.
She then asked, "Did you talk about anything else?"
Zhao Lizhu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally told her sister Qiu Ling what she had said before. Worried that her aunt would think she was meddling, she quickly explained, "I just think the Huang family is too mean, and if possible, I want to help sister Qiu Ling get away..."
She didn't know what to say next.
You said you wanted to help Sister Qiu Ling escape from her husband’s family?
When she said in front of her future mother-in-law that she would help others get rid of the entanglements with her in-laws, would such words make people think in another way?
Would her aunt think that she doesn’t like her in-laws?
Zhao Lizhu panicked when she thought of this possibility. She didn't want to make the relationship with her mother-in-law awkward before she even got married. What would she do in the future?
Especially now that the auntie suddenly became quiet, just staring at her blankly without saying anything, could she be really angry with her?
But Zhao Lizhu was really wrong.
The reason why Lu Lianhua was stunned was that she did not expect Lizhu to come up with such an idea. What kind of character is the Huang family? How could she not know about a large group of people?
If she really had to say what she was dissatisfied with Qiu Ling, it was not because she was a widow, nor because she had a child, but because of her in-laws.
The Huang family is neither unreasonable nor evil, but they do not work hard to earn work points, and instead only think of crooked ways to make money.
Although they are easy to deal with, it is quite annoying to be stared at by these rats in the gutter.
It was obvious that Lizhu was thinking the same thing, which was why she helped Qiu Ling come up with this idea. She suddenly said, "Just wait."
Then he turned around and went back to the house.
Just when Zhao Lizhu was feeling uneasy, Lu Lianhua came out again and stuffed two yuan and two food coupons into her hands. "Take this money. Tomorrow, if you and Qiu Ling are hungry on the street, just buy two steamed buns."
"I can't take this money..."
"Why not?" Lu Lianhua forced it into her hand. "You spend so much time and effort on this for the good of the family. I must accept this kindness. I can't let you work hard and pay for it."
"Auntie, you... don't you blame me for meddling in your business?"
"How can I be considered meddling? Although we haven't gotten the marriage certificate or held the wedding yet, I already consider you my daughter-in-law. You have done a great job. Even I couldn't have thought of this."
Lu Lianhua really didn't expect this.
It's just like no matter how violent the situation is in the police station, no one would report it to the police.
They always feel that it is their own business, an internal matter of their team, and there is no need to make a fuss about it outside, as it might end up in a bad way.
But some things cannot be denied unless you make a big fuss about them.
Just like Qiu Ling and the Huang family, if they could completely cut off their relationship, there wouldn't be so much trouble even if Qiu Ling really was with Xu Mo in the future.
However, she was not too sure whether the two of them could be together in the end, so she could only take it one step at a time.
I'll wait for that kid to come back and ask him about it.
At this time, the Xu Mo brothers were doing very well in the textile factory. They had previously sold defective cloth, and the two brothers were guarding two of the four factory doors respectively.
Xu Tan did a good job at the west door, and Xu Mo also handled the east door well. Both of them are really good at mobilizing the emotions of the people outside, and can handle emergencies of all sizes.
After an inventory, we found that these two stores sold the most blind bags, while the other two stores combined did not even sell as much as one of the two brothers.
After finding out about this, the deputy factory manager praised the two brothers again and again, but there was no further comment after that, as if he didn't care about the two brothers at all.
But as the deputy factory director's lackey, how could Yang Fufang not know what his leader was thinking? But now was different from before. If he had arranged for two people to enter the factory two or three years earlier, it would have been very easy.
But now, because of going to the countryside, the work targets in the factory have been basically distributed, one radish per job, and there are really no vacancies for these two brothers to fill.
But as the leader's number one lackey, how can he satisfy the leader if he can't even do this job well?
Especially this time, the defect report greatly increased the prestige of the deputy director among the workers. Even the old director's attitude towards him changed, and his expression became much softer. As for his chances of competing for the position of factory director in a few years, he has greatly increased.
When the deputy factory director is promoted, won't his assistants also be promoted? If he can do his job better, he can be promoted higher!
Who knows, maybe I can get the position of deputy factory director.
If his wife had not forbidden it, he would have thought of taking out his son's work quota first and then giving it back to his son if there was a position available in the future.
But as soon as he brought it up, the chicken feather duster was swung directly at him. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have left a mark on his face!
Does Yang Fufang still have the face to come out and mess around?
"Director Yang, I've asked about what you told me before. We really can't find a vacant position in our factory." Zhang De smiled bitterly. "Deputy Director Liu also came to me earlier and asked about arranging his niece to come in, but there is really no vacancy, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you buy it with money," Zhang De said. "Old Liu, who works the boiler, wants to retire. His youngest son is not filial and doesn't want to give his job to his son or grandson, so he wants to sell his job quota and use the money as his coffin money."
Yang Fufang frowned, "What kind of solution is this? Do you want me to pay for them to get work quotas?"
Even if he wanted to borrow, he couldn't afford so much money.
Besides, I don’t have much contact with those two brothers, so who knows if they are honest people? What if they don’t plan to pay me back in the future?
"There's really nothing we can do about it." Zhang De spread his hands. "Why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe in a year or two we won't be so nervous anymore."
"The day lilies have gone cold." Yang Fufang was a little worried.
Zhang De looked at his cautious expression and was very confused: "Are these two guys so important? They are country folk who haven't received many years of education. Although they can read and count, I heard that they haven't even received a diploma. How can they ..."
"Heh." Yang Fufang interrupted him with a sneer, "He is from the countryside and he really didn't receive much education. Then why didn't you, a city dweller who graduated from high school, give the deputy factory director some good advice? If it weren't for the two of them, the problem of defective cloth would have been difficult to handle this time."
Although both brothers said that the idea was not theirs.
But this is not too important. The one who came up with the idea was their cousin who worked in the Public Security Bureau. Even if the deputy director took a fancy to her and promised her a job, she would not be stupid enough to leave the Public Security Bureau and run to their textile factory.
So it would be the same if we just kept the two brothers.
We are all relatives. If we really encounter any difficulties, it’s always okay for relatives to help each other with ideas, right?
The deputy director attached so much importance to the idea not only because of the two brothers' on-the-spot performance. They were not afraid of the stage and were able to react quickly. Most importantly, they did not take credit for themselves and knew to give the most important links to the deputy director.
Why did the deputy factory director's prestige increase so quickly this time?
It was because he gave four speeches in four different locations, each time standing on the table to fight for more benefits for everyone. The applause after he finished speaking was so loud that even he felt excited.
Not to mention, he would be very happy if he had such good workers under him.
Zhang De looked unhappy, "That's right."
I said this, but I didn't agree with it in my heart.
So what if they have a lot of ideas? Without a radish pit, they can't even think of working in the factory, and in the end they can only work as farmers in the production team.
But he couldn't say this, because it would only make Director Yang even more unhappy, so he said disapprovingly: "The Director is right, young people are smart, I think they can do a lot in the production team even if they don't join the factory, and maybe they can even become the team leader in the future."
Yang Fufang raised his eyebrows, "Captain?"
He suddenly remembered one thing. Some years ago, someone in the factory proposed a reform. It was a risky attempt. The idea was to play with the composition of the fabric and produce a batch of materials that were very rare in the market.
The final result is that that batch of materials is now all piled up in the old warehouse, and no one buys them. Even the defective cloth the day before yesterday was used for wrapping, and no one wants to buy it. But if it were given away for free, people would still like it.
Why do you think of this?
Because the person who proposed this suggestion went to the production team and invited an old master to give on-site guidance. What was he called at that time?
Secondment?
It seemed that he was the accountant of the production team. Later, he was seconded to their factory to be a senior teacher to provide guidance and teaching. He stayed there for three or four months. Later, he could not stay there anymore because of his old age. In addition, the materials he produced could not be sold. He felt that he had lost face, so he returned to the production team.
But during the period of secondment, I was paid by the textile factory. Although my household registration was still in the production brigade, I was able to stay in the city for a long time because of the letters of introduction issued by the factory and the production brigade.
Since there are no work targets now, can we take this approach first?
Get the people in first, and then if there are job vacancies in the future, let them take over, or if their performance is not satisfactory, they can be sent back.
Anyway, he has gotten the person into the textile factory. If the performance is not good, it has nothing to do with him. Yang Fufang put his hands on the table. The more he thought about it, the better he felt this method was. "Go, call those two brothers over to me."
When Zhang De went to look for the Xu and Mo brothers, Xu Yingxia was waiting for a call. She took a leave of absence early in the morning and went to the post office to send a telegram to Huanhuan's commune.
Telegrams were charged by the word, and Xu Yingxia didn't care about the price, so she just sent three words - call back quickly.
Then he went back to the communications room of the textile factory to keep watch.
I kept watch for three or four hours, and there were only two hours left before the end of the work, but still no call came in.
"I told you I would call you when the phone rings. Look, you've been waiting here for such a long time. You might as well go back to the workshop to work." Master Wang, who was guarding the communications room, couldn't help muttering.
"It's okay. I've already taken leave." Xu Yingxia felt that she had fallen into depravity. She didn't know how many days of leave she had taken this month. But maybe the pressure was not so great anymore. She thought that if she had important things to do, she still had to take leave.
Otherwise, she would rather let Xiaozhou miss class than ask for leave.
After all, it was a self-study class. Even if there was a teacher watching him, he might not study seriously, and he would be even less likely to study without a teacher watching him.
"Will I lose money if I take leave?" Mr. Wang didn't understand. "We are all in the same factory. Even if I am late to answer the call, it won't be too long. There is no need to take leave to wait here.
"I'm worried." Xu Yingxia was really worried. Both of them were willing to give the job to Huanhuan so that Huanhuan wouldn't have to suffer in the countryside.
However, she also planned to tell Huanhuan that even if she took Shuangshuang's job, she couldn't do it for nothing. In the future, when she saved a certain amount of her salary, she would have to pay it back to Shuangshuang.
Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and the same goes for sisters.
When something good happens, you can't just say thank you casually.
Besides, it is so hard to get a job nowadays. If Shuangshuang really wanted to sell it, she could definitely get a few hundred dollars, not to mention thousands of dollars. But the first person she thought of was her elder sister, and she couldn't let her down.
Just as she was thinking, the phone suddenly rang. Before Xu Yingxia could react, she had already reached out, picked up the receiver and shouted, "Huanhuan, it's you... Oh, looking for Niu Xiufen?"
"Let me tell you, let me tell you." Master Wang snatched the phone and quickly and familiarly wrote down the person the other party wanted to find. After he hung up, he said, "I don't think we can get it today. The telegram was sent to the commune, and the commune has to send someone to forward it to the production brigade. Moreover, it may not be notified on the same day. If something delays it, it is possible that it will be delayed for two or three days..."
It is true. At least Jiang Huanhuan who is in the Xianchang Brigade has not received the news. After receiving the package yesterday, she was the most active in working in the fields today. In the past, she would never get up until the last second. This morning, Aunt Feng just got dressed and got up to light the fire in the stove room, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Jiang Huanhuan standing in the yard.
At that moment, she thought the sun rose from the west. This girl had been married for so long and had only pretended two or three times after marriage. Her true nature was exposed afterwards. With that bastard Feng Erchuan protecting her, she woke up later than the little kids at home.
She didn't understand it at first, but after she got down to the ground, she finally understood why Jiang Huanhuan was so diligent today.
She and Jiang Huanhuan were not on the same piece of land. Jiang Huanhuan earned two work points, while she, as her mother-in-law, earned six work points. The land they worked on was more than ten minutes away from each other. As a result, in the afternoon, everyone on her side heard that Jiang Huanhuan's parents had sent something, and they knew more about it than she, the mother-in-law.
What's not clear about this?
He got up so early, it turned out he was waiting to show off in the fields.
But since she cared so much about her parents' home, she would also show off. When she heard someone was still talking about this, Aunt Feng said in a loud voice: "That's right, such a thick quilt weighs eight or nine kilograms! And the material of the quilt cover is also very comfortable, better than what we are wearing!"
Although it is not her own family's home, it is her daughter-in-law's family's home, so of course she has to show off for her in-laws!
