Chapter 72 Look at this painting, how beautiful
The next morning, Lu Erming asked his youngest son Lu Weijun to go to the steel factory dormitory in the town.
"You have no time to work, so help me go to your uncle's house later and deliver the things sent by your brother Weiguo to them."
Lu Weiguo did not send the package to his parents for convenience.
Lu Weijun had been conquered by the taste of beef jerky last night and happily accepted the job, but before leaving, he still had to say to his father, "Dad, I got this accounting job based on my real ability, and it's not easy at all."
In order to avoid gossip from the villagers, he had to take an assessment to get the job even though he had the highest education in the village.
Lu Erming smiled and slapped him, "Okay, kid, hurry up, it's late and your uncle and aunt should go to work."
Lu Weijun smiled and rode away on his 28-bar
bicycle. The village is less than an hour's ride from the town. When he arrived at the steel factory dormitory, it was not yet six o'clock.
Lu Daming and his wife were making breakfast.
Seeing Lu Weijun coming, they invited him in, "Weijun, why are you here at this time?"
Lu Weijun pushed the things in front of them and said, "This is something sent by Weiguo and his wife. I delivered it."
When they mentioned Weiguo and his wife, the two men who had never seen their daughter-in-law were shocked.
Lu Weijun was amused and said, "The beef jerky in here is made by your daughter-in-law herself. You should try it carefully."
If it wasn't written in the letter sent with the package, Lu Weijun would have thought that it was bought in the department store in Jinling. How could the supply and marketing cooperatives here sell beef jerky that tastes so good?
Lu's father and mother immediately became excited and opened the box and took a stick to taste.
Lu Daming said, "You know what, this tastes really good, the more you chew, the more delicious it is."
Lu Weijun watched them eat with relish, and he was also a little greedy. He smiled awkwardly and reached out to take one, "Second cousin's cooking is really good."
Lu Daming looked at his nephew like this, and didn't say anything. He even felt a little proud in his heart. His daughter-in-law is really amazing.
Lu's mother called Lu Weijun and said, "I'll put more noodles in. Weijun, come and eat together."
Lu Weijun didn't hesitate. He really didn't eat breakfast early in the morning.
After Lu Weijun left, Lu Daming sent some beef jerky to his eldest son's house in the same family compound.
Lu Weiguo's elder brother Lu Jianguo and Lu Daming worked in the same steel factory, but Lu's elder brother was not a skilled worker, but the head of the steel factory's security department. He was just allocated a house last year, so the family moved to the new house.
Lu's eldest sister-in-law Qin Ping worked in the same textile factory as Lu's mother. She was quiet and hardworking, a unique quality of contemporary women, but a little timid.
When she saw Lu Daming, although she had been married for many years, she was still a little afraid of this father-in-law.
Lu Daming didn't say anything, handed the things to her, and turned to his eldest son and said, "This is something sent by your brother and his wife. This beef jerky is made by your brother's wife. I'm sending you some to try."
At this time, a boy's voice sounded happily, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
It turned out that Lu Zhen, the son of Lu Jianguo, got up after hearing the voice. He was young, but he was not afraid of this fierce-looking grandfather at all.
He was also not afraid of his fierce-looking second uncle.
Not only was he not afraid, but because Lu Weiguo was a soldier, he especially admired him. There was a small tank made of a shell at home, which was his favorite.
Because it was made by his second uncle who was a military officer.
Lu Daming was very happy to see his grandson. He touched his head and told him to wash up and eat.
The food was delivered, and Lu Daming went back.
At Lu Jianguo's breakfast table, Lu Zhen chewed beef jerky, which was delicious even though it was a little spicy.
Qin Ping was a little absent-minded. She asked softly, "Jianguo, what kind of person do you think the second brother's wife is?" Although
she was a worker, her family was somewhat patriarchal, so she was a little timid. She knew that the second brother's wife and her family were all intellectuals and had returned from abroad. Even though they were said to be the stinking ninth class every day, everyone knew that educated people were educated people, and they were different from those with low education.
I always feel that the family background of the second son's wife should be someone who is too high and mighty for them to approach.
Lu Jianguo said calmly: "I heard from my parents once that she is beautiful and has a good personality."
However, this did not make Qin Ping feel at ease, but made her more worried.
She is beautiful, has a good family background, and is well-educated. In this comparison, the gap between them is too big. Will they be looked down upon by each other?
Lu Zhen looked at his mother strangely, "You will know when you meet the second aunt. Besides, the beef jerky she makes is so delicious, she must be a good person."
Qin Ping: ...
Forget it, none of the two men in this family, one big and one small, understand.
Fortunately, they have separated. Even if they don't get along well, it's only during the holidays. Just get through it.
Shi Tingyu didn't know that her image had already deviated from the center in the eyes of her sister-in-law who had not yet met her.
At this time, she was receiving Director Liu from the Women's Federation.
"Xiao Shi, have you been busy at home recently? Big sister wants to ask you for help with something."
Shi Tingyu has already sent out the first story of "The Loyal Dog" and is still thinking about the second one, so she is not busy now. She asked: "What kind of busy are you?"
Director Liu couldn't help but sighed, "Our Women's Federation is still short of staff. Xiao Lu has been taking leave one after another recently. Although we don't expect her to be able to write and draw like you, when she is not around, things have to be handed over to others. Look, we have a promotional newspaper to do recently, and we don't have enough staff, so I want you to help."
"Of course, it doesn't have to be like painting the school walls, you can just paint casually, and I will pay you according to the salary of an old employee, and I will pay you for as many days as you paint."
Shi Tingyu really didn't have much to do recently, so she thought about it and agreed.
When she went to the Women's Federation, she found out that it was just drawing some illustrations for the propaganda newspaper.
It was not difficult for her.
Shi Tingyu finished the drawing that day.
After seeing it, Director Liu praised her highly.
"Look at this painting, how beautiful it is, it was painted so well and so quickly."
What she didn't say was that if it was handed over to someone else, it might take about a week to finish.
Salaries are paid collectively by the accounting department at the end of the month, and Director Liu decided to give her two more days when the time comes.
Even so, she still felt that Shi Tingyu was wronged.
Lu Wenchan, who had asked for leave, was currently in the director's office of the art troupe.
Recently, several girls in the art troupe have been discharged from the army and returned to get married, so the art troupe has started recruiting people.
As soon as she got the news, Lu Wenchan wanted to come and try it out.
She is not good at other dances, but she has a good voice and sings well, so she came here.
If she can enter the art troupe, she will be able to live in the art troupe dormitory later.
Moreover, the art troupe can get in touch with many military officers. Without Captain Yang, she might be able to find a battalion commander
