"Chen Xiao came back to pick you up, which means everything is fine on the farm. Arrange your work at the clothing store and go back to work on the farm."
Ever since Qiao Changhai became a regular employee and tasted the benefits of being a formal employee in a state-owned enterprise, he began to worry about Qiao Baozhu's job.
In his eyes, no matter how much money a clothing store makes, it cannot compare to a stable job.
"You are now a section chief, after all. It's not good to be absent from work all the time."
Qiao Baozhu curled her lips in disapproval, looking unwilling and full of resentment.
"Is it because I don't want to go to work? They suspended me from work to reflect on my actions. They couldn't stand the fact that I was a section chief at such a young age, so they took the opportunity when the investigation team came to talk to me to drive me away."
"Don't underestimate a small state-owned farm. There are many shady things going on inside. They can't keep up with production, and they are playing tricks to fight for power."
"I'm too lazy to look at those people's faces."
Looking at my daughter's reluctant expression, her pouting lips could have been used to hang a bottle of oil.
Qiao Changhai looked at Shen Xiao helplessly, smiled bitterly and said: "This child has my temperament. He can't stand those people's twists and turns. He is not born to be an official."
"If she really doesn't want to work, then she shouldn't go. The family doesn't need her salary anyway."
Fearing that Shen Xiao would be disgusted, Qiao Changhai hurriedly tried to find compensation for his daughter.
"She opened this clothing store. It looks like it's quiet and has no business, but in fact, she has too many orders to finish. Baozhu didn't tell you that the glove factory in North City that was about to go bankrupt was revived by this girl."
"Also, her mother and I are both regular employees now. Our company provides us with rice, flour, grain and oil, and we save more than 100 yuan a month. When we retire, her mother's pension will be enough for both of us to live on, and my share of the pension will go to her."
Qiao Changhai said half-jokingly and half-threateningly: "Even if her clothing store doesn't make money in the future, we can still support her for the rest of her life."
How could Shen Xiao let someone else support his wife, even if that person was his father-in-law?
"Dad, you can rest assured. My pension in the future will definitely be more than you two combined. I will be the only one to support Baozhu for the rest of her life, which is enough."
Qiao Baozhu didn't give Shen Xiao face and directly said, "My father is not worried that you can't support me, but he is afraid that I will have to support you in the future."
Shen Xiao was stunned and looked at Qiao Baozhu in confusion.
Qiao Baozhu kindly explained: "Do you think that people outside haven't heard about the disbandment of the Corps?"
Shen Xiao suddenly realized that his father-in-law was worried that he would lose his job and would not be able to let Baozhu live a good life.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I won't take off my military uniform. I will give Baozhu a stable and happy life."
Qiao Changhai recognized Shen Xiao's ability. He also knew that with Shen Xiao's personal ability and his family background, even if everyone in the Corps retired, Shen Xiao would still be able to stay.
"I'm not worried about your ability. I'm just reminding you that I'm capable of supporting my daughter now. Even if she has nothing in the future, she still has her parents to protect her."
The scene was full of gunpowder, and Shen Xiao couldn't understand why his father-in-law was suddenly angry with him.
He turned his head and wanted to act coquettishly and complain to Qiao Baozhu, but his eyes fell on her fair face and he was stunned.
Her fair and rosy face was as beautiful as ever, but the blue tint under her eyes was hard to ignore.
Shen Xiao suddenly understood that his father-in-law was angry at his daughter for not being gentle with her because he saw her face turn green.
Shen Xiao laughed guiltily and coughed lightly, then held Qiao Baozhu's wrist distressedly.
The wolf, who was greedy for meat, was very hungry. Finally, he caught the prey he had been longing for for a long time. Of course, he wanted to eat it alive and enjoy it to his heart's content.
Both of them were very excited last night, and he ignored the fact that the girl was not feeling comfortable with her first time.
He was not considerate enough last night, nor was he careful enough today. He should have let his wife rest instead of working today.
Shen Xiao felt guilty, so he just hugged Qiao Baozhu and slept peacefully when he got home at night. He behaved well and didn't do anything else.
The King Kong Four were very efficient and used up most of the first batch of gauze in just a day and a half.
Shen Xiao stuffed three sacks of yarn into the back seat of the jeep. Carrying Qiao Baozhu, the couple sang happily all the way back to the family compound.
Entering the territory of Qingyanshan Farm, Shen Xiao thought of what Qiao Baozhu said last night.
"Have you thought about quitting this job and opening a shop in the city?"
Shen Xiao didn't care about Qiao Baozhu's resignation. He was reluctant to be separated from his wife.
"I've thought about it. I'm going to sell this job at a high price before the corps is disbanded."
Qiao Baozhu looked like a thief, leaning lazily on Shen Xiao's shoulder.
"The disbanding of the Corps is unstoppable. With thousands of people retiring at the same time, there will always be people who don't want to go back to their hometown to farm, right?"
Although they are all in the countryside, how can the members be compared with the farm workers in the state-owned farms?
They both farm the land, but farm workers are essentially regular workers who receive pensions after retirement.
"The price of a formal job in the city is 1,500 yuan, and it's cheaper on the farm, about 800 yuan. When I first got married, my aunt came to take care of me and wanted to buy my job for 300 yuan, but I scolded her and ran away."
Qiao Baozhu thought of this and sneered with disdain.
Except for the adoptive father Qiao Changhai, the rest of the Qiao family are rotten to the core.
"It's usually priced at 800 yuan, so it can definitely be sold at a high price this time. Please help me spread the news and try to complete the formalities before the New Year."
Shen Xiao responded indifferently, and asked rather helplessly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll retire and become a farmer?"
"I would have worried before, but now, you are an outstanding graduate of the military cadet course, why should I worry?"
"I'm just worried that my job won't sell well and I won't be able to follow you to the new unit."
Shen Xiao got a perfect answer, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
He raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Baozhu's head lovingly: "You have a conscience."
From his tone, Qiao Baozhu guessed that Shen Xiao already knew where he would be transferred.
The fact that he doesn't tell me now means that it is a secret and cannot be disclosed casually.
The jeep rolled up a cloud of dust and entered the family compound in a very high-profile manner.
Shen Xiao was busy moving things down from the car. Qiao Baozhu's legs were sore and she was too lazy to move, so she went into the house and lay down first.
She saw that the house, which had been empty for two months, was now spotlessly clean, and her favorite peanuts were roasting on the heater.
The kang was covered with a thick quilt, and the kang table was filled with her favorite snacks.
Qiao Baozhu felt Shen Xiao's strong love and took off her shoes and got on the kang.
Turn on the radio, listen to storytelling, and peel peanuts.
Qiao Baozhu moved all the stored food in the house back to her parents' home, and she loaded a lot of things in the car when she came back this time.
Shen Xiao moved everything into the house one by one, and after moving in, he cleaned it up and put it in order.
He was very picky about his work, and even if Qiao Baozhu helped, she would be considered a troublemaker. She simply ignored him and just lazily lay on the kang enjoying herself.
"Oh, Baozhu, you're finally back. Woohoo, I haven't seen you for such a long time. I missed you so much."
Just when Qiao Baozhu was drowsy, Wu Meili woke her up with a shout.
Qiao Baozhu was frightened and became alert.
"Wu, Sister Wu."
When Qiao Baozhu saw Wu Meili's appearance, her eyes widened in surprise.
"How did you lose so much weight?"
I haven't seen Wu Meili for two months, and she has become so thin that she looks unrecognizable.
She was tall and big, with a strong back and strong arms, and looked very majestic.
Now she has lost more than 30 pounds, the flesh on her face has collapsed, and she looks lonely, bitter and fierce.
You can guess whether a woman’s life is going to be good or not by looking at her face.
"What happened at home? Did Jiang Sen bully you?"
Qiao Baozhu's caring greetings made Wu Meili's nose sore and she covered her face and started crying.
Her crying made Qiao Baozhu feel even more upset.
Before leaving the family compound, she tried her best to arrange her work.
Wu Meili was illiterate, so when she collected shoe soles door to door, she could only keep accounts by tying buckles with hemp ropes.
Qiao Baozhu originally knew that Wu Meili used this ancient method, but she did not interfere. Instead, I feel that growth and progress require internal motivation.
If Wu Meili doesn't change herself fundamentally, she won't be able to remember anything others teach her.
So before Qiao Baozhu left, she deliberately left Wu Meili with a difficult problem, also to stimulate her fighting spirit.
Did I do something wrong?
When Qiao Baozhu looked at the extremely thin Wu Meili, she began to doubt herself for the first time.
"Baozhu, you're right, it's that heartless bastard Jiang Sen."
Wu Meili lay on Qiao Baozhu's legs and cried loudly, as if she had finally found her family and could vent her emotions freely.
When Qiao Baozhu heard that it was that bastard Jiang Sen again, she couldn't help but get angry.
Before, Jiang Sen secretly gave Bai Hongmei 10 yuan every month without telling his wife. When Qiao Baozhu found out, she was very angry.
Fortunately, Shen Xiao acted in time and transferred Jiang Sen to repair the dam, and paid his salary directly to Wu Meili.
He resolved the matter calmly and preserved their marriage.
Jiang Sen realized that his truth had been revealed, but fortunately he had kept it a secret from Wu Meili and did not dare to do anything wrong.
The matter has been resolved long ago. Could it be that Wu Meili knew about it?
Qiao Baozhu was worried and secretly tried to guess Wu Meili's emotions, just waiting for her to calm down and speak first.
"My old Jiang is such a shameless guy. He has always been thinking about that bitch Bai Hongmei."
"Ever since Bai Hongmei started dating Lao Zuo, this shameless old man has been treating everyone else's nose and eyes badly at home."
"He kept telling me that Lao Zuo was a piece of shit, and complained that Lao Hao was a bad person. They were all real relatives, so how could he introduce her to someone so old?"
"You said, what does it have to do with him if Bai Hongmei and Lao Zuo are together? The couple was getting married and holding a banquet, and he got drunk and caused trouble."
"You don't know, everyone in our family compound is laughing at me. I'm so embarrassed, wuwuwu, Baozhu, I feel so miserable."
Qiao Baozhu was petrified.
He was completely unrecognizable after being exposed to the belated gossip, his mind was in a mess, and he began to doubt his memory.
"Who married Lao Zuo?"
"Bai Hongmei? She remarried. Who did she marry?"
Wu Meili looked up and said blankly with swollen eyes: "Bai Hongmei remarried to Lao Zuo, the quartermaster of the first battalion."
She saw that Qiao Baozhu had a confused look on her face, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"The quartermaster of the first battalion, the old man with the shabby head, pockmarked hair, and a bit of hearing loss."
Qiao Baozhu vaguely thought of such a person.
She remembered that the man looked rather wretched and was quite old, a bachelor in his forties.
Bai Hongmei, the woman who lived a glamorous life and always talked about living a decent life.
Can she marry a guy with a shaggy head and a toad face?
Qiao Baozhu deeply suspected that this was public opinion created by Bai Hongmei. How could she possibly say that?
"No, what are the Hao couple thinking? Even if they introduce a date to Bai Hongmei, they should find someone similar. They are relatives after all, so they should at least consider their face."
Qiao Baozhu was a little confused.
Wu Meili covered her mouth and laughed. It turned out that Qiao Baozhu really knew nothing about these things.
She pursed her lips and smiled: "It wasn't Lao Hao who introduced her. Bai Hongmei was introduced by your sister, Qiao Xifeng!"
