"Commander Lu, sister-in-law."
Finally, it was one of the military wives walking in front who spoke first. She looked at Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is your injury all healed? I saw you suddenly faint yesterday, how did it go?"
"Is there anything seriously wrong?"
This military wife also witnessed Feng Qiulan and her group coming to the military base to cause trouble for Feng Zhiyi yesterday. At the time, she even joined the other military wives in calling the police to arrest Feng Qiulan and her group.
Feng Zhiyi smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I just suddenly couldn't catch my breath and fainted. I rested for a few minutes after I got home and then woke up."
"You guys chat, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, she pulled Lu Lingxiao away.
Not a single word was mentioned about recruitment.
"Old Guo, why didn't you mention the job recruitment? It was such a good opportunity, are you stupid? You didn't even ask about it." A military wife in the crowd asked Guo Cuimei in a low voice.
"Exactly! The person is right in front of you, and you don't even ask about the recruitment. What are you thinking, Lao Guo?"
"You could have asked, so why didn't you ask?"
Guo Cuimei laughed and asked them, "Do you really think I'm stupid?" If she were to become the one to stick her neck out, her fate would definitely be the same as Wang Zhaodi and the others—she would be ostracized by the brigade commander's wife.
Besides, there were more than a dozen people present. They didn't know to ask themselves, but insisted that she ask. What were they up to?
They were clearly just waiting for her to ask, and then they would have one less competitor!
"us......"
“We’re not familiar with the brigade commander’s wife, but you helped her out yesterday. If you ask her, it will definitely be more useful than if we ask.”
"That's right, Lao Guo, you're too naive. You didn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity..."
Guo Cuimei chuckled twice, "Yes, you're right, I am indeed naive, so you should hurry up and ask them."
"Your sister-in-law is just ahead, she hasn't gone far. Hurry up and see what kind of questions you can get out of her!"
After saying that, she gave them a cold look and left.
Want to push her out to be the idiot who sticks her out? Dream on!
"Why has Lao Guo become so stingy?"
"Who says otherwise? All she did was ask when they were hiring. If she didn't want to ask, she didn't have to. Why did she get so angry?"
"Haven't you realized that she's afraid we'll take advantage of her!"
"Who tricked her...?"
Although that's what they really thought, none of them showed it on their faces. How did Guo Cuimei figure that out?
The group discussed the matter with differing opinions.
Originally, they wanted to send Guo Cuimei out to sound out Feng Zhiyi's opinion, but who knew that Guo Cuimei, who usually seemed simple and honest, would suddenly become clever at this moment.
They won't fall for it at all.
"Wife, you're practically a piece of Tang Monk's flesh now."
Lu Lingxiao clicked his tongue twice, "They were all staring at you menacingly, and their eyes really gave me goosebumps."
The way those family members looked at me just now really resembled the way a spider demon saw Tang Sanzang's flesh.
Feng Zhiyi shrugged, "Your wife is practically a piece of Tang Monk's flesh now!"
"There are at least seventy or eighty family members in the family compound, if not a hundred. Nobody wants to be squeezed out, so all sorts of power struggles have begun to unfold."
She could see right through them; they were all thinking of getting rid of each other so that they would have a better chance of getting into the factory.
It has to be said that these people have a lot on their minds.
It's almost as intense as the power struggles between the concubines in the palace.
Upon hearing her words, Lu Lingxiao couldn't help but conjure up a terrifying scene of people fighting and scrambling for something. Imagining a large group of women with ferocious faces, he shuddered violently.
I dare not think about it.
I can't even imagine it.
"So, when do you plan to hire people?"
Feng Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Let's wait until we come back from Jiangnan."
“Didn’t Grandpa and Grandma plan to set off for Jiangnan on the second day of the Lunar New Year? If they drive themselves, it will only take a day. They will stay there for about three or four days to take care of things, and then we will come back.”
After all, there are many things to do in the military, and Lu Lingxiao will be transferred to a new base in April. During this period, he needs to hand over all the affairs in Jincheng properly.
Then, after the Lantern Festival, on the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year, several factories in Jincheng will reopen.
So, she'll be very busy from now on.
There simply wasn't much time to stay in Jiangnan.
After returning to pay respects to our ancestors, and having her grandparents write her name into the Feng family genealogy, that should be about it.
As for the old items that her grandfather left to her father, she plans to give them directly to her two uncles.
Her space contained countless antiques and paintings, so the Feng family's ancestral heirlooms were left to her two uncles and four cousins, to be passed down from generation to generation.
——
Lunar New Year's Eve.
The Lu family courtyard became even more lively.
Early in the morning, Lu Lingxiao, along with his four cousins and Qin An, went to the yard to deal with the two goats.
It's very heavy.
Each one weighs around 60 to 70 pounds.
He told his family that he bought it from a nearby village, but in reality, he got it from Feng Zhiyi's lotus space.
The space has everything you need, there's no need to spend money to buy anything.
The items included chickens, ducks, geese, fish, pork, prawns, abalone, sea cucumbers, king crabs, vegetables, fruits, and other New Year's goods, all of which were brought out by Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao from their spatial storage.
There are so many things to offer that everyone can have a very prosperous New Year.
After Lu Lingxiao cut the four portions of mutton into pieces and put them into the basket, Feng Zhiyi called out to Lu Ziheng, who was playing nearby, "Ziheng, take your younger siblings and carry these baskets to Aunt He and the others."
"One for each household, remember that."
"Okay, Mom."
Lu Ziheng obediently agreed and led Lu Zirui over to carry the baskets. In the end, Jun Zeyi carried the last two baskets. Lu Xiaoning wasn't strong enough, so Jun Zeyi didn't let her carry them.
"Auntie, what are we going to do?"
When the little ones saw that their younger siblings had taken all the baskets, they asked Feng Zhiyi for help.
Feng Zhiyi looked up at them and saw that everyone was looking at her expectantly. She smiled and said, "You all go with your younger siblings. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't send the wrong person."
"Okay!"
After saying that, the children picked up their baskets and went out.
There were many people, and they kept chattering all the way. Before long, they arrived at the family compound.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and every household is slaughtering chickens and ducks, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
Almost as soon as Lu Ziheng and his group arrived at the family compound, they were spotted by the military wives in the courtyard on the first floor.
Looking at the bamboo baskets that Lu Ziheng, Lu Zirui, and Jun Zeyi were carrying, they were obviously quite heavy, and some people in the crowd immediately started to feel envious.
"Hey, Ziheng, you've brought food to your Aunt He and the others again?"
