"Bullshit!"
Seeing them all suddenly turn their anger towards her, could Wang Zhaodi tolerate it? She immediately cursed, "You bunch of two-faced cowards, dare you say you didn't want to go there yourselves?"
"What? You guys were jumping around even more enthusiastically than me before, but now that you've offended Lu Lingxiao and can't get a job at Feng Zhiyi's factory, you're blaming me."
"You really think I'm easy to bully, huh!"
"you!"
"Let me tell you, whether it's fighting or arguing, I'm not backing down. Come on, if you dare!"
Wang Zhaodi puffed out her chest, rolled up her sleeves, and adopted a defiant stance, showing that even if they lost, they wouldn't back down. So what if they outnumbered her? Wang Zhaodi had never lost a verbal or physical altercation.
"You...you..."
Those family members were both angry and annoyed.
"Alright, alright, if you want to argue, go outside; if you want to fight, go outside. Don't cause trouble in my house." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Ma Hongying waved her hand and started to shoo people away.
"snort!"
Wang Zhaodi gave a loud snort, it was unclear who she was snorting at, but after she finished, she walked out without looking back, her chest puffed out, and she was downstairs in the blink of an eye.
The others, seeing Wang Zhaodi leave, also turned and walked out.
However, as they left, they all glared at Ma Hongying and Yang Xiulan, their faces filled with resentment and anger.
They felt that Ma Hongying and Yang Xiulan must have done it on purpose, deliberately watching them run to the hospital every day like clowns, and that running away would directly cost them the opportunity to work in the factory.
"Hey, what do they mean by this? They don't even understand the situation, and now they're glaring at us?" Ma Hongying was genuinely amused and exasperated.
So, they insisted on going to the hospital, and in the end, it's still her fault?!
Yang Xiulan smiled and said, "He must be so angry!"
"The thought of losing our jobs like this, and how most of us will have something to do after the New Year while they can only watch enviously every day, how can we not be angry?"
That's not her fault!
It wasn't her who instigated them to go.
Ma Hongying pouted, but her anger came and went quickly. Especially when she thought about how these people would lose their appetite and sleep poorly after they went back, she felt incredibly happy!
"Let's go and tell your sister-in-law."
Ma Hongying nodded.
The two then left the family compound and headed towards the Lu family's courtyard.
——
Ever since the story of Wang Zhaodi and her group spread throughout the family compound, no one has gone to the Lu family compound to inquire about job openings anymore.
Everyone was very quiet.
Just stay home and wait for news.
In this way, Lu's mother and Grandma Feng finally had some peace and quiet, no longer having to keep a stern face and chase people away every day like before.
Three days later, the veterans that Lu Lingxiao had notified arrived in Jincheng.
Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao went out, but before they could leave, she was wrapped up like a penguin by her elders.
She was dressed very warmly, and she was also wearing a red woolen hat, which her mother had crocheted.
Lu's mother said that red was festive and suited her skin tone, so she insisted that she wear it. Her grandmother, on the other hand, told her to wear boots with lamb's wool lining, otherwise her feet would get cold.
They were truly fully armed.
Feng Zhiyi found it hilarious at the time, because her outfit looked exactly like someone in postpartum confinement.
However, to put her elders at ease, she obediently kept the clothes on and didn't take them off halfway.
After the two arrived at the warehouse in the western suburbs, Feng Zhiyi took out two large trucks and then transferred the goods from the space to fill the trucks. Then Lu Lingxiao went to the courtyard he had bought before to find Lan Yiheng.
A few days ago, they checked out of their hotel rooms and moved to that courtyard. There were beds available, and they only needed to buy some daily necessities to move in. They could also cook for themselves.
It's more convenient than staying in a hotel.
After Lan Yiheng and his men transported the goods to the capital, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao checked on the project's progress before driving back to their unit.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it's the day before the Lunar New Year.
Feng Zhiyi invited Lan Yifeng and Guan Mingcheng to her home to celebrate the Lunar New Year together.
As her confidants, they had no close relatives or friends to visit. In addition, after returning to China, they had been busy with factory renovations in Jincheng. Apart from taking a trip back to their hometown, they spent almost all their time in Jincheng.
So Feng Zhiyi invited them to her home to celebrate the New Year with them and have a meal together.
As for Lan Yiheng, he's currently busy with the business of several shops in the capital and can't make it back in time.
So he won't be able to spend this Lunar New Year with them.
The opening dates for several shops in Beijing were also set for the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Lunar New Year. The date was chosen by my grandfather, who consulted the almanac and said that the day before the Lunar New Year was an auspicious day for opening a business.
And so, the new stores opened for business with great success!
A large family naturally makes for a lively atmosphere.
Early in the morning, the yard was bustling with activity.
Chickens and ducks, fish, seafood, mutton, wild boar, goose, cured meat and sausages, braised food... everything is ready.
After all the ingredients were prepared, it was almost noon.
Lunch was simple: dumplings. One bowl of dumplings was enough to fill us up. Of course, even though we were only about 80% full, no one ate any more.
Save your room for a good meal tonight!
Around 2 PM, Lan Yifeng and Guan Mingcheng arrived.
The two of them also brought a bag of fruit, saying that they felt embarrassed to come empty-handed, so they went to the store and bought some fruit to bring for everyone to eat.
"Sit down, help yourselves to whatever you like to eat. We're all so familiar with each other now, I don't think I need to serve you, right?" Feng Zhiyi pointed to the food on the coffee table and asked them with a smile.
"No need, no need, we can do it ourselves."
Guan Mingcheng said with a smile.
Lan Yifeng put the teacup back on the coffee table, then looked up at Feng Zhiyi, "By the way, boss, when Mingcheng and I came in just now, there were some strangers at the military base gate. They said they were looking for you."
Looking for me?
Feng Zhiyi frowned in confusion. Who would be looking for her at this time?
If they were her and Ling Xiao's relatives or friends, they would call ahead to let them know if they were coming to Jincheng. But these past few days, I haven't heard of anyone from Beijing coming.
Lu's father and godfather will not arrive until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.
So, who are these people?
Just as Lan Yifeng opened his mouth to say something, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Sister-in-law! Brigade Commander's sister-in-law! Someone outside the unit is looking for you. They say they're your family, from your hometown..."
Hometown?
