Chapter 360: Lu's father and mother were delighted to hear the news The news
that Shi Tingyu was named a March 8th Red Flag Bearer spread throughout the family compound because the leaders from the camp came to visit.
This was a very honorable thing.
Because of this, Shi's father and mother were granted a day off for the first time.
Shi Muhan simply prepared a table of food for the family to eat.
Shi's mother took her daughter, with pride and satisfaction in her eyes, and said to Shi Tingyu: "You and Weiguo will call your mother-in-law to announce the good news later." Shi
Tingyu nodded.
Lu Weiguo was a little touched.
It was really not easy for his mother-in-law to think of her relatives in the eastern province at this time.
He immediately took his wife to the market.
In addition to making phone calls, he also bought some vegetables and meat.
Now that Lu's mother is retired and at home, there is no telephone, so this time Lu Weiguo called the steel plant.
Lu's father thought something happened to his little son and ran away so fast.
When he heard Lu Weiguo's voice coming from the microphone, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He
thought, since he can still make a phone call, it means that the person is fine.
After greeting his father, Lu Weiguo got to the point, "Dad, I want to tell you something."
"What is it?" Lu's father was calm at this time, and his voice was cheerful.
Lu Weiguo said, "Xiaoyu has been named a March 8th Red Flag Bearer, and she is also a model soldier. She will go to the Great Hall to be honored on Women's Day this year."
Lu Daming was silent for a few breaths, and then trembled and said, "You didn't lie?"
"Dad, when did I lie to you?" Lu Weiguo was a little helpless.
Lu Daming wanted to say that you had lied to me when you were a child
, but this was obviously not the time to talk about this. At this time, there was only one voice in Lu Daming's mind, that is, his daughter-in-law became a March 8th Red Flag Bearer.
Looking at the eyes looking at him from the office, Lu Daming straightened his back and couldn't help but raise his voice a few times, "Has my daughter-in-law really become a model of the March 8th Red Flag Bearer? She still has to go to the Great Hall to receive commendations? Okay, okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will ask your mother to go back and take care of your children in a few days."
Lu Weiguo said: "There is no rush in this matter. Today is only February 22nd. It's too late to come back after February. Mom can stay at home to celebrate the Lantern Festival."
Father Lu couldn't bear to hear this. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, I understand. We will call you before we leave. Your wife is affected. Please help her at home."
After that, he hung up the phone.
The moment the phone call was hung up, the atmosphere in the office became lively again.
The factory director couldn't help asking, "Old Lu, your daughter-in-law was selected as the March 8th Red Flag Bearer?"
Father Lu rarely smiled, "She is the March 8th Red Flag Bearer Model."
The factory director was happy as if he and Lu Daming were brothers, "This is a great thing, Old Lu, you are still lucky, do you want me to give you half a day off?"
It was just the beginning of the year, there was not much to do, and some machines were still under maintenance, the factory director was happy to do a favor.
Father Lu quickly refused, "No, no."
Just kidding, if he took a half-day off, how could he show off to the old guys in the workshop.
After saying something to the factory director, Lu Daming left in a hurry, fearing that the factory director would give him a day off.
As soon as Lu Daming returned to the smelting workshop, he was full of joy.
He was born with a fierce face, and although it was not the first time he had seen such a joyful look, it was very rare for his colleagues.
At this time, those who had nothing to do came over to ask about the situation.
The smile on Lu Daming's face deepened a little, "It's nothing. Just now, my husband Wei Guo came to tell me the good news that my daughter-in-law was named a model of the March 8th Red Flag Bearer. She will go to the Great Hall to receive the commendation in a while. I don't know if she can meet the leader."
As soon as Lu Daming said this, everyone immediately talked about
it. For a while, they were very lively.
Lu Daming watched, and his smile never stopped.
Finally, it was time to get off work. He almost ran home. He had to share this good news with his wife quickly.
Mother Lu was dumbfounded when she heard that her daughter-in-law had become a model bearer of the March 8th Red Flag and was going to the Great Hall to receive commendations.
Now I have to pack my bags and go to Jinling.
She thought a lot. It was a big deal for her daughter-in-law to go to Beijing. She must prepare some clothes and other things in advance. It was inconvenient to take the child with her. She had to do the logistics for her daughter-in-law.
Father Lu saw this situation and said quickly: "Don't worry, Wei Guo said that it won't be too late for you to leave after the Lantern Festival. Besides, my eldest brother has also come back from the army. There is someone to help. You haven't bought a ticket yet, so you haven't prepared anything yet."
After thinking about it, he continued: "Didn't you say before that you would bring some eggs and sausages to Xiaoyu and the others? These are not prepared yet."
The preparation he said meant going to the former West Brigade to buy them.
After all, they live in town, they can't raise chickens, and they don't have time to stuff sausages.
Father Lu's words finally calmed Mother Lu down. Yes, yes, the things we need to bring are not ready yet.
Lu Weiguo didn't know that his phone call would make his parents in his hometown so upset.
In the family compound, Shi Tingyu will start school in a few days, and Lu Weiguo doesn't have time, so Shi Muchan accompanied Shi Tingyu to buy clothes for the commendation meeting.
They went to the department store in the city, Shi Muchan held Shen Shen in his arms, and Shi Tingyu followed beside him. No matter how you look at them, they look like a family of three.
Everyone's eyes are full of envy.
This combination of handsome men and beautiful women is pleasing to the eyes, and they look like a couple.
Shi Tingyu was sensitive to the salesperson's gaze.
So she suddenly called Shi Muhan, "Brother!"
"What's wrong?" Shi Muhan turned around and asked.
"I just want to ask if Shen Shen wants to pee." Shi Tingyu said.
Shen Shen glanced at her mother, then at her uncle, and then said, "Uncle, Shen Shen doesn't want to pee."
Hearing the word "uncle", the expressions of the people around suddenly became a little awkward.
It turns out that they are really brother and sister.
Shi Tingyu has a standard figure and is easy to buy clothes for. Basically, as long as she likes the style, she will look good in it.
Now it is already the 80s, and there are more styles of clothes. Thinking of the weather in March, Shi Tingyu still chose a thin sweater and a camel wool coat.
Trying to be intellectual and capable.
Shi Tingyu looked around and picked a black double-breasted wool coat for Lu Weiguo.
Both coats are new models, and they cost nearly three hundred yuan in total.
The salesperson was secretly shocked when he saw Shi Tingyu bought such an expensive coat without blinking.
Shi Tingyu later bought a coat for Shi Muhan as well, but it was not the same brand.
Shi Muchan calmly watched his sister pay, thinking, it doesn't matter, his sister has money, he can just eat lavishly this time.
After buying clothes, the two of them carried their things back home.
When Lu Weiguo came back at night and found that his clothes were still there, he smiled.
Shi Tingyu said: "I also bought one for big brother, but it's not the same brand as ours."
Lu Weiguo's eyes were gentle, and he felt very relieved.
Well, he and his wife are the only ones with the same brand of clothes.
Although I don't think I will wear them often, I am still happy.
