Chapter 116 He treats her differently from others.
"Three turns and one response" is the standard for marrying a wife in the city in this era. It seems that he really treats her as his own wife!
He gives her money, buys her maltose, buys her a bicycle, buys her clothes, accompanies her to her parents' home, protects her in front of others, teaches her self-defense, picks her up and drops her off at work, takes her to meet friends, buys her a watch, buys her a camera, gets angry
when she doesn't take him to the movies... Even if Xia Qingli is slow, she can feel that Lu Jingzhen's feelings for her are different.
But she hasn't figured out what kind of feelings she has for Lu Jingzhen. Of course, she has a good impression of him, but it's more of gratitude and appreciation. "Love" is far from being achieved.
Moreover, in the book, Lu Jingchen's final match is Mo Xiaoxiao. Who knows if the story will follow the original book in the future?
Now he may just have some feelings for me, but not to the point where I must be with him for the rest of my life. After all, he has never said to me that he loves me.
Thinking that I will soon go to the army with him, when I get there, I will be sure that he will not like Mo Xiaoxiao, and he has clearly expressed his feelings to me. Then it is not impossible to have a relationship with him. After all, Lu Jingchen is quite to my liking in terms of appearance and personality.
Xia Qingli has always been rational in dealing with feelings. If she did not have such a personality, she would not have been single in the real world.
After figuring all this out, Xia Qingxi did not rush to ask Lu Jingxie what he was thinking. She took out a wooden basin, poured hot water into it, and began to soak her feet. After a tiring day, the most enjoyable thing was to soak her feet.
After Lu Jingxie finished his "love" words, he seemed a little unnatural in front of Xia Qingxi and quickly left.
Xia Qingxi was sitting in the house soaking her feet when she suddenly heard the voices of Wang Mingfang and Zhao Cuilan talking outside the house:
"Aunt Zhao, do you still have eggs at home? Can you sell some to me?" Wang Mingfang's voice was very loud, and her shout could be heard by almost everyone in the yard.
"It seems there are some, but not many. Why do you suddenly want to buy eggs again? I remember you bought some a few days ago?" Zhao Cuilan asked curiously.
"Oh, doesn't our Hongmei need to replenish her body now? I have to buy more to prepare for her." Wang Mingfang replied with a smile.
"Isn't your Hongmei unable to give birth?" Zhao Cuilan asked, her tone not sympathetic, but rather a sense of wanting to make a fuss.
"Speak softly, so she won't be upset." Wang Mingfang deliberately lowered her voice and continued with a very sad look:
"Oh, my daughter-in-law has suffered so much this time. No matter whether she can give birth or not, I will still treat her as my own daughter as before. Our Lidong also said that people are the most important!"
"Mingfang, you are a kind-hearted person. It is a blessing for Hongmei to meet such a sensible mother-in-law like you. Lidong is also a good person, and looks like a grandfather." Zhao Cuilan immediately praised Wang Mingfang, and then said:
"Come into the house quickly, I'll get you an egg."
The two people's voices gradually faded away, and Xia Qingling's lips curled slightly. Wang Mingfang began to establish a good mother-in-law persona in front of everyone again, and also helped her son establish a good husband persona.
Just like the way they dealt with the original body four years ago, they established the persona first. Then, according to their plan, if Yao Hongmei got into trouble, everyone would just blame Yao Hongmei like they blamed the original body before. Not only could they divorce legitimately, but Wang Mingfang would still be a good mother-in-law, and Lu Lidong would still be a good man.
Ha! Xia Qingling's eyes were cold, and she had her own way. This time, their wishful thinking might not work.
In the following days, Wang Mingfang and her son suddenly changed their personalities, and treated Yao Hongmei with great care and concern.
Everyone in the yard was praising their kindness, and even Yao Hongmei herself seemed to have forgotten how they treated her in the past two days. Hope for the future was rekindled in her heart, and she was even thankful that she did not bring up the past because of an impulse.
On Wednesday, He Shanshan asked for leave from the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative, dressed up, and went to Xia Qingxiang's textile factory to apply for a job.
The textile factory only recruits once a year, and the recruitment cycle is two weeks. Every time the recruitment period comes, there are thousands of people applying.
At that time, if you entered a state-owned factory, it was like having a stable job. Not only did you get a salary, you also received various receipts. You could eat in the canteen, and there was a nursery in the factory, so you didn't have to worry about taking care of your children. So people were trying their best to get in.
As more people applied, the factory's recruitment requirements became higher. Applicants had to use sewing machines on site to make clothes. Not only their speed but also their quality were considered.
The general manager would go through a round of screening, and those who stayed would be selected by the director of each workshop on site. Those who were selected would stay, and those who were not selected would go home.
He Shanshan entered the factory and saw rows of neatly arranged workshops, heard the roar of machines coming from the workshop, and looked at the workers' uniforms. She was full of envy and began to imagine herself working there.
For her, the most important thing was to pass today's preliminary test. In fact, He Shanshan's textile skills were not good. According to the factory's recruitment requirements, it was estimated that it would be difficult to pass the preliminary test. But when she came, her mother Wang Mingfang had already given her a good idea, so while waiting for the assessment, she did not stay in the hall like other female applicants, but went to the textile workshop.
Because it was her first time here and she was completely unfamiliar with it, she asked someone about Xia Qingling's workshop.
When they heard that she was Xia Qingxi's sister-in-law, the female workers were very enthusiastic and took her directly to Xia Qingxi's workshop. When they got downstairs, she lied that she had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, so they told them that they didn't need to take her
upstairs, and that she could go upstairs by herself after going to the toilet. After everyone left, He Shanshan went upstairs by herself. Of course, she was not looking for Xia Qingxi. Just as she was looking furtively at every office, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"He Shanshan."
He Shanshan's heart "skipped" and she turned her head. Sure enough, she saw Xia Qingxi standing behind her. She thought to herself:
How could I be so unlucky to meet her.
The female worker who just brought He Shanshan came later to find Xia Qingxi and said that her sister-in-law had come and was looking for her.
Xia Qingxu naturally understood what He Shanshan was doing here. She walked up to her without showing any emotion and deliberately asked,
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
He Shanshan was obviously a little guilty. She looked around and said,
"Nothing. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a look."
"What's so good about the factory? Everyone is busy with production. If you walk around like this, you will disturb others. Come on, I'll take you out." Xia Qingying said as she was about to take her out.
He Shanshan was a little anxious. She hadn't met the person she wanted to meet yet. She couldn't leave like this. If she was screened out during the assessment, she wouldn't be able to enter the factory in the future, let alone get in touch with people.
"I told you, I want to see for myself. Go away and don't bother me." He Shanshan urged Xia Qingying impatiently.
"How can that be done?" Xia Qingxiang said, deliberately pointing to a room and said:
"Our Director Liao is in this office, and he hates outsiders to enter our workshop casually."
When He Shanshan heard the three words "Director Liao", her eyes lit up, and she thought: This little girl, she helped me by accident.
"I know, I know, I'll leave right away." He Shanshan rolled her eyes and walked towards the stairs.
Xia Qingxiang did not follow her, but turned back to the workshop. Since He Shanshan wanted to hook up with Liao Qiang so much, she would help her.
