Chapter 60
Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Jinyu.
Early in the morning, the people in their group heard that a lesbian was going to be forced in.
The female comrade was from the countryside and had not received much education. It was probably because of her background that she got this opportunity.
Shen Yuqing didn't care at all whether the other party had any education or not. She just hoped that the comrades joining their group would have real abilities and not hold the group back.
After all, there are only five people in the garment group. Normally, everyone has a good relationship and can discuss everything. If an employee with no aesthetic sense is added all of a sudden, there will definitely be disharmony.
"Yuqing, we will be colleagues in the future and we should help each other. Comrade Meng is new here and doesn't understand the working situation of our factory and garment group. As the deputy team leader, you usually manage the entire team on my behalf, so you have to take care of her more." said the team leader.
Chen Yuqing was happy. She propped up the table with one hand and raised her head and said, "Team leader, you just promised to wait for her to show her real ability. It's okay to lead her, but I have to see her foundation first. Our team is not a school. It's impossible to teach her by hand, right? Besides, even if it is a school, it is divided into nursery, elementary school, middle school and high school. Is she going to skip a grade? And skip several grades?"
Shen Yuqing's words were sharp, and she spoke in a crackling voice, which made people stunned.
But Meng Jinyu was not scared.
What happened to skipping grades?
If her son can skip a grade, so can she!
Meng Jinyu read many interviews with this legendary figure in later life and knew that she was a person who would not give in to persuasion but had a good temper.
The current targeting is simply due to a lack of understanding.
After all, if the village chief suddenly sent someone to her place and asked her to lead that person to make clothes together, she would not be happy.
She decided to work hard to see her potential. If in the end, Shen Yuqing still looked down on her, it would mean that she was not suitable for this job.
Meng Jinyu asked calmly: "What do you think, to show your true ability?"
Several colleagues were watching the fun, thinking that a female comrade from the countryside who had never seen the world might be so angry that she would directly apply to join the sewing group. But unexpectedly, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes were still looking directly at Shen Yuqing, taking on tasks for herself.
"How about this, you make a piece of clothing for me in one month. It doesn't matter what fabric or style you use, as long as the clothing satisfies me, then I will agree to let you join us."
"Oh, by the way, don't make children's clothing. I know you were specifically responsible for children's clothing when you made clothes for the Red Star Garment Factory, but although there is demand for children's clothing now, the design sense is not enough. Even if you design something unique, there is no market and you can't do anything special."
"Team leader, please don't stop us. We all hope that Chunyu can develop better, right?"
Liu Yuyan, the head of the garment group, hesitated for a while.
This garment group is the department that the leaders value the most. Usually, Shen Yuqing and several other comrades work overtime under pressure and always bring surprises to the factory leaders.
When she was first notified that Meng Jinyu would be stuffed here, she was reluctant. Their garment factory has so many departments, why did she have to come here?
Now, Shen Yuqing insisted that Meng Jinyu show her strength. If she didn't have the ability, she should go to another group. Liu Yuyan was a little embarrassed about the performance, but she was relieved in her heart.
In this way, she can also give an explanation to the people behind Meng Jinyu.
"Comrade Meng, our deputy team leader Shen's requirements are quite high." Liu Yuyan turned to Meng Jinyu and asked, "Do you think you can accept it?"
Meng Jinyu was easy to talk to and said with a smile, "No problem for me."
Liu Yuyan smiled with satisfaction and prepared to see her out.
Meng Jinyu walked out, then stopped and turned to look at Shen Yuqing: "I didn't expect that Deputy Team Leader Shen had done his homework in advance and knew my situation so well. I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
After she finished speaking, she left the garment group.
Looking at her back, Qin Zhouzhou said in surprise: "She is really confident!"
"It's a good thing to be confident." Shen Yuqing was interested. "If she can really complete my requirements, then I'm looking forward to having such a person in our team."
Several colleagues know Shen Yuqing very well.
The request she made did not seem to be difficult. Asking Meng Jinyu to bring a set of clothes that she designed, cut and made herself was also a basic requirement for joining this group. However, who doesn't know how high Shen Yuqing's vision is?
Meng Jinyu is from the countryside and has only received a few years of education. She has a poor character to begin with. If she brings home a gray piece of clothing, she will definitely be laughed at.
Or, will she make a bunch of colorful clothes?
No matter how I think about it, it seems unreliable.
No one in the garment group was optimistic about Meng Jinyu. She knew it, but she didn't care.
After leaving Chunyu Garment Factory, she immediately went to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative to buy some Dacron.
Good clothes must be made of good fabrics. In this era, Dacron is the best and rarest fabric.
Being able to wear "Dacron" is indeed a glorious and respectable thing, otherwise Jiang Huanming would not have spent a huge amount of money to buy one for himself.
Meng Jinyu decided to use Dacron cloth to make clothes. When she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she gritted her teeth and thought that she could not catch the wolf without sacrificing the lamb, so she accepted the higher cost.
But who knows, even if she is willing to spend a lot of money, she may not be able to buy this thing!
"You can't buy Dacron just because you want to, even if you have a ticket," the salesperson said. "It's been out of stock for a long time."
As soon as the salesperson finished speaking, suddenly, a familiar figure walked out of the warehouse.
"It's you!" the other party said in surprise.
Meng Jinyu stared at her for a while before she recognized that this was Zhu Qin. At that time, she was invited to Fenglin Village by Ruan Jinguo to help him expose Ruan Wenwen's true identity.
"It's you." Meng Jinyu said with a smile, "I never had the chance to say thank you to you."
"It's just a small matter, no need to thank me. Sister, do you want to buy Dacron?" Zhu Qin said, "Now you have to queue up to buy Dacron fabric. A batch of goods will arrive on the third of next month, but you have to come early to queue up. If you want, I can reserve it for you in advance."
On the third of next month...
Meng Jinyu thought about it and realized that it was only number 5.
In other words, the goods will not be available until more than 20 days later. Even if she can wait, Shen Yuqing will not wait!
"Is there any other way?" Meng Jinyu asked.
"Are you in a hurry?" Zhu Qin thought for a moment, "Shanghai and Beijing may have goods, but you have to buy a ticket yourself."
Having said that, Meng Jinyu had no choice but to give up.
Shanghai and Beijing are not close to each other, so she can't leave for such a long time. After all, she still has a lot of work to do at the Red Star Garment Factory, and besides, the two little kids at home are waiting for her to cook for them every day.
"That's fine. Thank you." Meng Jinyu said.
"You're welcome. Take care." Zhu Qin smiled and watched her leave the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, the salesperson next to her said, "Is this the woman from Fenglin Village last time? In less than a year, she has changed so much. I didn't recognize her just now!"
Chen Qingqing went to Fenglin Village with Zhu Qin at that time to testify about Shanshan's disappearance.
But she clearly remembered that Meng Jinyu at that time was dusty, tall, dark, and looked very plain, but now——
She was thinner, her skin was fairer, and her eyes were sparkling, as if she had come back to life.
Her clothes are still relatively ordinary now. If she wears better clothes, it would be reasonable to say that she is a respectable person in the city.
"I don't know how her daughter is doing." Zhu Qin said, "That child is so cute. I like her very much."
"Do you like the child, or the child's uncle?" Chen Qingqing pushed her elbow and said with a smile.
Zhu Qin quickly shook her head and said seriously, "Don't say that again. The last time I met Jingjing, I saw her boyfriend, Comrade Ruan."
"Jingjing? Is she your good sister from the art troupe?" Chen Qingqing widened her eyes.
Indeed, that time in Fenglin Village, Zhu Qin was attracted by Ruan Jinguo's decisiveness.
After that, she would think of this person from time to time, but she never took any action.
Who knew that when they met again, he would be Su Jingjing's boyfriend.
There is no bloody fighting drama. Zhu Qin is Su Jingjing's best friend and will always be.
She had a little regret in her heart, but still deeply wished Su Jingjing and Ruan Jinguo well.
Because they are so well matched.
At this moment, after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Meng Jinyu went to the department store and several state-owned tailor shops.
There was no Dacron fabric available, so she finally set her eyes on a piece of cotton fabric.
The color of this cotton fabric was quite unique and novel, so Meng Jinyu bought it immediately.
However, as soon as she came out of the store and took a look at the fabric in the sunlight, she sighed softly.
No matter how you compare it, it's not as good as Dacron!
…
It was a week later that Gu Zhimin received the notice to go to the Beijing Military Region Headquarters.
His physical condition was good to begin with, and after he woke up, the doctor said there was nothing serious. After resting for a few days, he had almost recovered.
Gu Zhimin asked Old Man Gu and Gu Qi to take care of each other, but even though he knew that there wouldn't be any big problems, he still felt deeply worried when he left.
He had already lost them once and couldn't lose them again!
"Uncle Gu, don't worry, Youyou will help you take good care of Grandpa Gu and Brother Gu Qi!" The little dumpling's voice was crisp and sweet. As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his chest to make the promise.
Gu Zhimin was amused by the cute look of this little girl.
When he and Liu Anqin were together, they had said that having a son and a daughter was just right. Gu Qi could still take care of his younger sister, the older brother would learn to take responsibility, and the younger sister would be well protected.
But now, things and people have changed.
"Uncle Gu, please be careful on the road." Youyou has already sent him out.
Gu Zhimin laughed.
Looking at the appearance of this little fellow, he doesn't look like a guest, but rather like the little master of this house.
It's really nice for Gu Qi and Youyou to play together more. The little girl is innocent and cute, and she makes witty remarks from time to time. This can motivate Gu Qi and help him not to always act like a little adult with a deep look.
"Okay, let's go." Gu Zhimin half squatted down and pinched Youyou's little face.
The leader sent a car to take Gu Zhimin to the train station.
The distance from Jiangcheng to Jingshi is quite long. He took a short rest on the train and got off with his luggage when the train arrived at the station.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a gentle voice sounded from behind.
“Jimin!”
Gu Zhimin turned around and saw Liu Anqin.
Liu Anqin asked people and heard that he had come to Beijing.
After learning that he was going to Beijing, she immediately applied to her unit and also wanted to go on a long journey.
The business trip to Beijing was originally a good job. She begged and pleaded for a long time, and finally agreed to help one of her colleagues take on all the material sorting work for the next month. Only then did she get the opportunity.
At this moment, she stood in front of Gu Zhimin, with thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say.
Gu Zhimin's reaction was indifferent.
However, just the words "Long time no see" made Liu Anqin's eyes fill with tears.
She took a few steps forward, wanting to talk to him more so that they could reminisce about the past, but as soon as she got closer, she saw that the military headquarters had sent a car to pick him up.
He got into the car quickly and swiftly without even turning his head.
Liu Anqin froze in place, two lines of tears streaming down her face.
Is he so decisive because he can't bear to put himself in a difficult position?
…
Jiang Guo had seen Meng Jinyu making children's clothing, but at this moment, looking at the skirt she was cutting, her eyes widened in surprise.
Although children's clothes are cute, she is not interested in them.
But the clothes that adults wear are different.
Nowadays, every villager in the village doesn’t dress too well. Even the new clothes they wear during the Chinese New Year are just without patches and are not very fashionable.
But the clothes made by Meng Jinyu are different.
The aqua blue fabric was cut neatly by her. The overall cut of the skirt was exceptionally smooth, and it was gathered at the hem, which was very beautiful.
Jiang Guo didn't expect her mother to be so capable. She stared at her eagerly and was almost stunned.
"Mom, this skirt is so beautiful, you should try it on and try it on," said Jiang Guo.
When Meng Jinyu was changing into the new skirt in the inner room, she heard a knock on the door.
She didn't even have to go out. Just by hearing the babbling sound, she knew it must be Lin Li bringing Zhizhi.
Lin Li has been busy since her child was born. She cannot delay her work at school for too long as she has to be responsible for the children in the class.
In addition, Jiang Zhihong was still working in the fields to earn work points, so he couldn't carry the baby with him. The baby couldn't stand the sun and rain.
As a result, the couple almost had no time to take care of Zhizhi.
Fortunately, the principal knew that her life was not easy and agreed to let her bring her child to school. When she had classes, other teachers in the office would help take care of the child.
Zhizhi is very cute, fair and tender, and she smiles at everyone she sees, so everyone likes her very much and no one has any complaints.
Lin Li thought, if this continues, there’s no telling when it will end.
Do we have to wait until Zhizhi is three or five years old and can take care of herself like Youyou before life can be a little more relaxed?
But Meng Jinyu told her to send Zhizhi over in the evening and to read more books at home, because one day a state-owned unit in the city might suddenly send a notice asking these educated youth to take an exam.
Meng Jinyu gave this reminder because the college entrance examination will be resumed soon.
There are only a few dozen days between the issuance of the notice of resumption of the college entrance examination and the actual examination.
She was worried that Lin Li wouldn't have enough time to review, so she came up with this excuse.
But no matter what, Lin Li and Jiang Zhihong listened to her advice.
The couple sent their child over in the evening to play at Meng's house for two hours. During this time, they could read books well, and Youyou was very happy to have the responsibility of taking care of her little sister.
It’s really the best of both worlds.
"Jinyu, your clothes are so beautiful. Where did you buy them?" Lin Li widened her eyes in surprise when she saw Meng Jinyu coming out of the inner room.
Meng Jinyu is tall, with a thin back and a long neck. Because she hasn't been out of the field for a while, her skin has become much whiter.
Now she is wearing this light blue dress, she looks so beautiful, as if she has become a different person.
Lin Li liked the skirt as soon as she saw it. She even asked her where she bought it and wanted to buy one too.
When she learned that she also made the skirt herself, she was stunned.
"You are so clever. You can not only make children's clothes, but also adult clothes!" She was surprised. "You will look so beautiful in new clothes. Be nice to yourself in the future and dress yourself up beautifully!"
Lin Li not only praised Meng Jinyu herself, but also praised Jiang Zhihong as well.
Jiang Zhihong was not good at talking, so he nodded to whatever Lin Li said, and smiled shyly, saying that he would let them chat while he would go out and wait.
Meng Jinyu looked at their sincere smiling faces and smiled unconsciously.
However, even after looking herself up and down in the small round mirror, she still wasn't satisfied.
They said the clothes were nice looking because they usually dressed casually and never dressed up carefully.
Therefore, putting on new clothes can easily make people feel refreshed.
But the problem is that Shen Yuqing's criteria are different from theirs.
The color of this skirt is unique, but neither the fabric nor the cut of the dress is outstanding enough.
To use the words of later generations, it probably means that there is no sense of design.
How could she have the nerve to present the clothes that she herself was not satisfied with to Shen Yuqing?
At this time, Meng Jinyu was in a tangled mood, but Jiang Guo didn't know it.
She just looked and looked at her mother again and again, her face full of amazement.
Until it was almost time to go home, Jiang Guo couldn't help but look back several times.
Unexpectedly, not long after she came out of the thatched hut at the end of the village, she ran into Wang Xiaofen.
Jiang Guo had a falling out with her second aunt, and they usually ignored each other at home.
But now, her second aunt couldn't hold back any longer.
"Jiang Guo, are you stupid?"
Jiang Guo glanced at her unhappily and continued walking forward.
Wang Xiaofen continued, "Your own mother's craftsmanship is so good, but you actually acted like a spoiled child in front of your stepmother and asked her to make clothes for you. I saw that your stepmother just closed her eyes and made some changes to those skirts to make you obedient. Moreover, what were those skirts made of? They were all made from your own mother's old clothes!"
Jiang Guo hates it most when people bring up what happened in the past.
She was originally a heartless girl, but whenever she heard about her stepmother, she felt embarrassed.
The memory of acting cute next to her stepmother was a nightmare to her!
It's both embarrassing and stupid.
"I used to listen to an old man in the village telling a story about a man who mistook a thief for his father. Now I think you are the one who mistook a thief for your mother!" Wang Xiaofen saw Jiang Guo's face change and immediately pressed on, "Your stepmother will be back soon. By then, I want to see how you will behave between two mothers!"
Wang Xiaofen hadn't won a battle for a long time. She finally found Jiang Guo's weak spot and squeezed him hard. She felt relieved all of a sudden.
Her steps became lighter and she hummed a little tune as she walked.
As for Jiang Guo, her face turned red and she ran to the river.
Her stepmother is coming back, what should she do?
Every minute and every second she spends with her stepmother reminds her of the embarrassing memories!
Jiang Guo squatted by the river, curled up, covered his face with his hands, and was very sad.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Guoguo, are you okay?" After a moment, a handkerchief was handed over, and Ji Xiaotian said, "Don't cry."
Jiang Guo burst into tears, raised her head and asked, "Brother Xiaotian, do you think I am really stupid?"
Ji Xiaotian was silent for a long time.
Jiang Guo looked at him pitifully, his shoulders trembling, making him look particularly thin and small.
She didn't know how long it had been before she saw Ji Xiaotian's lips move.
"Yeah." He nodded.
With a "wow", Jiang Guo cried even more sadly.
…
Meng Jinyu ran all over Jiangcheng, looking for cloth everywhere.
But nothing was gained.
Suddenly, she regretted not being decisive enough.
If I had come out of Chunyu Garment Factory a few days ago, I could have immediately gotten a letter of introduction and bought a ticket to Beijing or Shanghai.
Now, time has been wasted.
She felt a little anxious, but unexpectedly, her anxiety was soon relieved.
After Gu Zhimin came back from Beijing, she asked Gu Qi to bring her a bag.
The bag is filled with Dacron!
"My father saw this fabric in Beijing and bought it specially to thank you," said Gu Qi.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was afraid that Meng Jinyu would retreat, so he ran away. His figure disappeared in a flash, like a special effect in a later movie.
Meng Jinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She was ecstatic to get the cloth, how could she refuse it?
She guessed that after Gu Zhimin asked the leaders of Chunyu Garment Factory about the situation, he knew what difficulties she was facing and helped her to the end.
She would not return the cloth, nor would she try to get away with using money or cloth coupons, because the other party had neither money nor coupons.
This favor must be repaid.
But she would have to wait until she had made the clothes and successfully entered the Chunyu Garment Factory before she would have the leisure to think about these issues.
This cloth really solved her urgent problem.
Now she has already thought about what kind of clothes she will give to Shen Yuqing.
I hope that is a satisfactory answer.
Thinking of this, Meng Jinyu took Shanshan's homework book, tore off a page, and traced a draft.
Drawing is not easy, she has no basic knowledge, but she learned some simple proportions of figures from Ning Lan last time, so she just sketched it out now and it looks pretty good.
Early in the morning, the children all went to school. Meng Jinyu calmed down and sat at the table for nearly two hours.
She didn't tell anyone that she wanted to work at Chunyu Garment Factory. Now she had to race against time and try to make the clothes in her free time.
Liu Anqin came when Meng Jinyu was about to go out to find Xu Weiwei.
Seeing her, Meng Jinyu was quite surprised: "You came to see me?"
Liu Anqin nodded slightly and looked inside: "Can I come in and sit down?"
After entering the room, Liu Anqin frowned slightly.
She seldom went to the countryside. Although this time Mr. Gu took Gu Qi to live in Tanqiao Village, the house had been renovated and the environment inside was not bad, and it was spacious and bright.
But Meng Jinyu's house was too cramped. Although it was clean, when two people passed by the kitchen together, she didn't even have space to turn around.
Liu Anqin was afraid that her behavior would offend Meng Jinyu, so she tried not to show her sympathy. However, when her eyes swept across her frank expression, she was still a little surprised.
Doesn't she feel inferior at all living in such a shabby house?
Meng Jinyu poured Liu Anqin a glass of water.
There should have been no intersection between them. This time, she came to see me specifically, probably because of Gu's family affairs.
Meng Jinyu's guess was correct.
Liu Anqin regretted it and wanted to ask Meng Jinyu to be a lobbyist.
This trip to Beijing, she returned empty-handed.
As soon as she came back, there was a pile of work waiting for her at the unit. Liu Anqin was exhausted every day, but she dared not slack off.
After all, she had gone on stage to make a self-criticism a few days ago because of the report she had received. Seeing that the Zhou family members' jobs might not be kept, she did not dare to take it lightly.
She finally made time to look for Gu Qi.
It should be very reasonable to meet Gu Zhimin in the name of his son, but she didn't expect that after arriving in Tanqiao Village, Mr. Gu would refuse to see her.
After much persuasion, she finally entered the house. At that time, Gu Qi had just got up. He brushed his teeth and washed his face silently. Finally, he grabbed a bag and ran out.
"I haven't seen Zhimin, and the old man didn't tell me where he went. I guess he should have gone back to the house in the city to sort it out. Xiaoqi and the old man will definitely move back." Liu Anqin stroked her hair and said softly, "When Zhimin returns to the army, there will be no one to take care of the elderly and children. So, I want to go home."
Meng Jinyu looked up in surprise and looked at her expression.
It’s hard to believe that she could propose “going home” so calmly and without any shame.
It was as if, during the days when she was married to Zhou Xin, she had just been on a business trip, and now that she had finished her work, she had to return to her original home.
"I know you may look down on me in your heart. I had no choice at the beginning. My love for Zhimin is spiritual, but love cannot smooth out the burdens brought by life. Life is very realistic, and I married Zhou Xin only out of helplessness." Liu Anqin said.
Meng Jinyu interrupted her: "I'm in a hurry. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Liu Anqin was a little embarrassed. After she adjusted herself, she said, "Could you please help me persuade Xiaoqi? This child relies on me the most. I don't know what he is thinking this time. He doesn't even recognize me as his mother. But as a son, how can he not recognize his mother? You are also a mother, you should understand how I feel."
"I'm busy. Go cool off." Meng Jinyu was really fed up with her resentful tone, so she stood up and was about to see her off.
Liu Anqin was stunned: "I know Zhimin and Xiaoqi's feelings for me, and Zhimin bought me some Dacron when he went to Beijing this time! We will definitely get back together, but the old man doesn't want to be the middleman, so I came to you. It's just a small favor, you help me persuade them, and then I will definitely remember your kindness..."
"Dacron?" Meng Jinyu raised her eyes.
"Yes, my favorite thing to wear is a Dacron skirt." A blush floated across Liu Anqin's cheeks. "I saw it at the old man's house just now. The Dacron fabric was in a bag. I guess Zhimin wanted to give it to me, but Xiaoqi was still angry, so he left with the bag."
Meng Jinyu pointed to the bag next to the sewing machine and asked, "Are you talking about this?"
Liu Anqin was stunned.
Could she have misunderstood?
This Dacron was actually bought by Gu Zhimin for Meng Jinyu?
Liu Anqin's eyes darkened, but she quickly came back to her senses.
It didn't matter that he bought it for Meng Jinyu, he was just expressing his gratitude.
After all, she is just a rural woman. Could anything happen between Gu Zhimin and her?
They couldn't even have a common language.
"I'm not that free to help you lobby. But don't worry about Gu Qi and Old Man Gu. I believe Comrade Gu will take good care of them. After this near-death experience, Comrade Gu should know better than anyone how precious family ties are. Maybe he will choose to change his job and stay with his family."
"Impossible." Liu Anqin felt like she had just heard a huge joke. "For him, staying in the army is more important than anything else! I asked him many times before, but he refused to transfer to civilian work. It's impossible this time!"
After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, you don't understand Zhimin at all. I'm still asking you for help, but it's like talking to a cow."
Liu Anqin said this because she knew that the talks between her and Meng Jinyu had broken down.
She didn't stay any longer and turned around and left the Meng family.
However, when she reached the entrance of the village, Liu Anqin was stunned.
She actually saw Zhou Xin!
Zhou Xin came by car.
He opened the window and looked at his pale-faced wife, a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Both of them knew very well how bad their relationship had been recently.
It's like a couple walking on the tightrope of marriage. If they are not careful, they may fall into the abyss.
This relationship is in jeopardy.
Although Liu Anqin wanted to return to Gu Zhimin, she still felt guilty when she saw Zhou Xin at this time.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Zhou Xin said: "I thought you came to Gu's house, so I came to find you."
"No, I went to see Meng Jinyu." Liu Anqin said awkwardly, "I came to thank her for taking care of Xiaoqi."
"Didn't you go to Gu's house?" Zhou Xin raised his eyebrows.
Liu Anqin shook her head. Of course she would never admit this.
Zhou Xin sneered: "I've been to Tanqiao Village. The villagers said that you cried and begged at the door of the Gu family, and finally they agreed to let you in."
Liu Anqin's face suddenly turned pale, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
But who knew that what Zhou Xin said the next second would shock her even more.
"I've inquired about it. Your ex-husband chose to change his career and go to the Public Security Bureau."
Liu Anqin was stunned. Meng Jinyu actually got it right.
"I really underestimated his ability and the high regard the military headquarters had for him. They actually arranged for him to go to the Beijing Public Security Bureau and become the director. That's the city closest to the political center. It seems that a small place like Jiangcheng can't accommodate a big Buddha like him."
Zhou Xin looked weird and frustrated.
But Liu Anqin didn't care what he was thinking at all.
At this moment, all she cared about was——
Gu Zhimin is going to Beijing!
What should she do then?
Would he be willing to take her with him?
…
The Dacron fabric sent by Gu Zhimin gave Meng Jinyu tremendous confidence, and she was finally not so panicked.
Suddenly she had more time, so she revised her draft over and over again, adding new elements whenever an idea struck her.
In fact, in her previous life, after Meng Jinyu became rich, she was exposed to some fashion-related information.
She could have made a stunning clothing style that would appear in a fashion show in the future and presented it to Shen Yuqing.
However, she has a scale in her heart, and she believes that plagiarized works cannot bring her any sense of accomplishment.
The experience she gained in her previous life has helped her avoid many detours. If she takes shortcuts again, it would be too unfair.
What Meng Jinyu was going to give to Shen Yuqing was a design that was 100% her own.
Although she didn't have the confidence to win, what she wanted was to have a clear conscience.
After Meng Jinyu finished her work, she turned and went to the kitchen.
The kids were almost out of school and she had to cook for them.
During this period, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo would often come over after dinner. She knew that the two children wanted to come here, but she was afraid of wasting her food.
But in fact, she was happy in her heart when she left food for her children, no matter how much they ate.
Besides, her wallet is probably thicker than that of most villagers in the village, so she is considered to be quite wealthy. She can afford for the whole family to sit together and eat and drink!
Meng Jinyu went into the kitchen to prepare meals.
Just when she had started the fire, Youyou came running back in a hurry.
The little girl looked very anxious and shouted, "Oh no! Oh no!"
Following behind her was Shanshan.
Shanshan is usually not in a hurry, but at this moment, a hint of panic flashed across her face.
Who could make Youyou and Shanshan so panicked?
Meng Jinyu quickly squatted down and comforted the two children. After they had caught their breath, she asked, "Is Ruan Wenwen back?"
It is now August. Logically, Ruan Wenwen should be released from the labor camp in October.
what happened?
"She's back, and she brought a baby with her." Youyou said seriously, "My brothers and sisters are in school for extra classes, so they don't know the news yet!"
Shanshan said: "Dad hasn't gotten off work yet, so he doesn't know the news!"
"Child? She actually brought back a child?" Meng Jinyu was also a little surprised.
"Just now, the old ladies, old grandfathers, uncles and aunts in the village all came out to see her! She took the child and went straight back to the Jiang family!" Youyou said, "Shanshan and I followed her quietly until she entered the Jiang family, then we left!"
Meng Jinyu wanted to laugh when she imagined the two little kids quietly following Ruan Wenwen.
