He was a bit shy, but it made Zhuang Zhixi's hair stand on end.
Zhou Qun didn't care what others thought and said, "Brother, I bought some pork head meat, would you like to have a drink together?"
Bai Fendou: “???”
He reasonably suspected that Zhou Qun wanted to poison him. If not, why did she invite him to drink? How could they drink at the same table? Besides, what kind of queen did Zhou Qun think highly of these people in their courtyard? The people at their drinking table were usually leaders.
Jiang Lu also looked at Zhou Qun in disbelief. Zhou Qun said eagerly: "Let's have a drink together. I know you understand me best, brother."
Bai Fendou: “???”
To be honest, what kind of route is this? Bai Fendou really doesn't understand it.
Zhou Qun ordered: "Wang Zhaodi, cook some dishes and make some rice."
Wang Zhaodi: “Oh.”
She quickly got up to work, but when she rushed to the door, she felt Jiang Lu's gaze, so she braked suddenly, looked at Jiang Lu carefully, and said, "Sister Jiang Lu, how much do we have to do?"
Zhou Qun: "Make as much as you can. Make more. Otherwise, how can we have enough to eat? We grown men have big appetites. Jiang Lu, bring out the bottle of wine you took from your mother's house last time. My brother and I will drink it."
Jiang Lu was also very puzzled. She looked at Zhou Qun's eyes and suddenly panicked. She advised him kindly: "Brother Qun, I know you look down on Bai Fendou. I look down on him too. He is a mean and annoying person, but we can't really do anything to him."
She felt that Zhou Qun must want to avenge her. After all, Bai Fendou had tried to do something bad to her before. Recently, her man had been approaching Bai Fendou so humiliatingly, so he must be doing it to seek revenge. It must be.
And she absolutely could not let this happen.
Her mother-in-law had already been in jail, and it was unclear what the situation was. If something happened to Zhou Qun, what would she do? He didn't care about that disgusting and heartless mother-in-law, but she couldn't let him add that something happened to Zhou Qun.
Absolutely not.
Jiang Lu said firmly: "Brother Qun, let's go home."
Jiang Lu's shouting made Bai Fendou so angry that he shouted, "Zhou Qun, are you a man? If you are brave, let's have a fight. What are you doing? Are you trying to play dirty tricks? I'm telling you. I, Bai Fendou, am not afraid of you. If you are brave, let's have a fight!"
Isn't it just a fight? Even if he loses, he will not say a word of cowardice! This is the man of the city.
"How can you talk like that, Jiang Lu? Don't talk nonsense. I didn't mean to do anything. I really do get along well with Bai Fendou. I wanted to have a drink with him. What's wrong with you saying that? Can you please stop making trouble?"
Jiang Lu didn't believe a word of it and held Zhou Qun firmly: "Come home with me and don't look for Bai Fighting anymore. We really can't fight."
Zhou Qun definitely wanted to poison, for sure!
She didn't dare to say it directly and could only delay Zhou Qun.
"Brother Qun, I know you love me and treat me well, but I beg you, please stop making trouble with Bai Fendou, and come home with me."
Zhou Qun: "I'm so..."
Bai Fendou: "You are such a good guy, Zhou Qun. You let Jiang Lu betray you, right? I knew you had bad intentions. You bastard, how could you do such a thing..."
The scene became chaotic again. Everyone looked at the scene in confusion, not knowing what they were doing.
Zhou Qun: "Bai Fendou and I are real brothers."
Bai Fendou: "If you have the guts, let's just fight openly. What's the point of ambush others?"
Jiang Lu: "Don't break the law for me."
Wang Zhaodi: "...cook or not cook?"
The scene was in great chaos. Zhuang Zhixi asked his mother in a low voice: "Mom, what do you think is going on?"
Zhao Guihua shook her head, not understanding at all. Why did she feel that Zhou Qun really wanted to drink with Bai Fendou? It didn't seem like he was plotting against him. But why would Zhou Qun want to find Bai Fendou?
They have an average relationship.
Zhou Qun looked down on anyone in their compound.
Zhao Guihua really couldn't understand it. It was no wonder that she couldn't understand it, but she really couldn't imagine it. Even though she had heard of such things before her rebirth, there was no such situation around her, so Zhao Guihua really couldn't react at once.
Besides, they all knew that Zhou Qun liked women, and he was well-known for having affairs.
How could it be possible that he would struggle with the dialogue and have some meaning again?
Oh no, it's two.
Unexpected, really unexpected.
Zhao Guihua didn't expect it, and couldn't understand it, so she could only say: "I don't understand it either, let's take a look again."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Zhou Qun's eyes are so disgusting."
Seeing that his mother didn't know, he decisively cast his gaze towards his grandfather Lan Sihai, moved closer to Lan Sihai, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, what do you think is going on? I just think this look is disgusting."
Lan Sihai glanced and sneered.
Zhuang Zhixi: “You understand!”
Lan Sihai said calmly: "At my age, what don't I know? I have tasted more salt than you have walked. I have lived longer and seen more, so I will naturally know."
Under Zhuang Zhixi's expectant eyes, he lowered his voice and whispered, "You know what? When I was a teenager in Shanghai, I saw many people supporting actors."
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
What does it matter? Lan Sihai: "It doesn't matter whether the role is male or female. Gender doesn't need to be too rigid. Some people are praised too much and praised to the wrong level."
Zhuang Zhixi: “What do you mean?”
It's because I'm not old enough and don't have enough experience that I couldn't react.
"That's right, some people like women, but they also like men. They can change at any time."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
As soon as these words came out, he reacted quickly. He was full of disbelief. He looked at Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou again, and saw that Zhou Qun's eyes were glued to Bai Fendou... Well, it turned out that he didn't look like a serious person.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…” I really am amazed, what an eye-catching scene this is.
Lan Sihai: "Go, go away."
When Zhuang Zhixi thought about how Zhou Qun wanted to go home with him after get off work, he felt his hair stand on end even more obviously. He felt that he had vaguely escaped a disaster. He looked at Bai Fendou silently, wondering if Bai Fendou could understand Zhou Qun's evil ambitions.
I never imagined that one day someone like Bai Fendou would have to worry about his own innocence.
Looking at Bai Fendou again at this time, I feel a bit of sympathy for him.
How could Zhou Qun target him? At the same time, he was worried for himself. It was great that he did not get Zhou Qun's favor. Zhuang Zhixi slipped back to Mingmei, held his wife's hand, and watched the show with peace of mind.
However, Zhou Qun and the other two had the opportunity to watch the show for a longer time. Zhou Qun finally gave up and followed Jiang Lu home.
Jiang Lu held Zhou Qun, moved to tears, and said, "Brother Qun, no one in this world will treat me better than you. No matter what the situation is, I will never give up on you. I must share the hardships with you, and we are in the same boat together. We are of one mind as husband and wife."
Zhou Qun didn't think so. If Jiang Lu wasn't so good, he wouldn't have said sweet words to her and would have dumped her long ago. She was just an old hen that couldn't lay eggs.
Not only can she not lay eggs, but she will also ruin his good deeds.
The more Zhou Qun looked at Bai Fendou, the more he liked him. In fact, there were many men like him, good-looking like Zhuang Zhixi, and brave like Section Chief Liu, all of whom were actually very good. But if he had to name the one he liked the most, it would be Bai Fendou.
Bai Fendou is also brave and never gives up. This is worthy of respect; he is also infatuated, and he will never abandon Wang Xiangxiu, a slut, and he is a devoted man; he is also righteous, and he will do anything you ask him to do in the yard.
The most important thing is that he understands his own difficulties. Jiang Lu's family deserves to die. Cursing them to death is too easy for them. Zhou Qun pursed his lips, thinking that his mother really didn't do a good job of explaining him.
He didn't want anything to happen to his father-in-law, he wanted something to happen to his brother-in-law.
If something happened to his elder brother-in-law, and if something happened to Jiang Lu's nephew, would the old couple have to rely on them? Once they had coaxed the old couple, and then got rid of his father-in-law Jiang Jianshe, there would be no problem.
If something happened to the men in this family, wouldn't the women be in his hands? With his control over Jiang Lu, he could definitely wipe out the entire family. But he didn't expect his mother to be more of a hindrance than a helper. She didn't understand his subtext at all and actually hired someone to plot against his father-in-law, making things even more out of control.
This idiot doesn't even know how to wipe his mouth after doing something bad.
What he wanted was to deal with Jiang Lu's shrewd brother.
But Jiang Lu in front of him... Jiang Lu is also a fool, but fortunately she is a fool. Otherwise, the marriage between the two would not be able to continue. He knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the two old men, were determined to divorce their daughter.
He didn't care about the old relationship at all, nor did he think about who would want his daughter after the divorce since she couldn't have children. Zhou Qun's face was a little uncertain during the brainstorming. Jiang Lu thought Zhou Qun was sad because he couldn't deal with Bai Fendou, so she whispered: "I know you look down on Bai Fendou, and I also know you want to vent my anger, but we can't go the wrong way. If we don't deal with him, someone will deal with him sooner or later."
Zhou Qun didn't like what he heard and said, "Okay, stop talking."
He turned away and went back to the inner room and lay down on the bed. Jiang Lu followed him and said in a low voice, "I know you are anxious because my parents want us to divorce. I have thought about it. Even if they make a fuss, I will not divorce. The decision is mine. As long as I have a child, we can go back together. I don't believe they can be so cruel."
She hesitated for a moment, feeling very painful, but she said helplessly: "How about you sleep with Zhaodi tonight."
Zhou Qun glanced at the door with disdain and said, "Don't say such stupid things to me in the future. I have no interest in her at all."
He said: "I regret taking such a person here now. I feed her for nothing. Why?"
Jiang Lu's expression was delighted, and then she was even more moved. She knew, she knew that Zhou Qun in her family was the best man, and he was completely different from other men. Her parents always said that Zhou Qun was pretending. But look, look, isn't it? Her mother-in-law was not around, so Zhou Qun didn't have to act for her mother, and he immediately showed his sincerity.
She is the only one in his heart.
He doesn't date other women.
She bit her lip with emotion and said, "I know you are sincere to me, but we still have to have a child..."
Zhou Qun: "Then why can't you be more motivated!"
The two of them were whispering in the room. Wang Zhaodi didn't hear anything and just cooked. Well, the happiest time of the day was eating. After Zhou Qun and the others had finished making a fuss, Zhuang Zhixi couldn't wait to share the secret with his wife and took her home.
Mingmei: "Slow down."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Big news.”
He closed the door and started talking quietly.
Mingmei: "!!!"
She was shocked: "Ah this...this this this, is this possible? Doesn't he like women too?"
"Who knows? I think grandpa is right. In the old society, there was no distinction between men and women. So it's possible that Zhou Qun is popular with both men and women. In the future, not only you should be careful, but I should be too."
Mingmei: "..."
This is too shocking.
"It's also possible that he didn't like women anymore after being scared by a female ghost last time. It's hard to say."
Mingmei: "If it was Bai Fendou who was like this, I would understand immediately, but Zhou Qun, I don't quite understand."
Bai Fendou was finally...broken.
He was taking small steps now, if he really had some messy thoughts, she would understand immediately. But Zhou Qun was obviously fine. It was really unbelievable, but Mingmei believed in her grandfather's judgment.
After all, the older you are, the more knowledgeable you are.
She whispered, "Did no one hear you when you said that?"
"No, we spoke in low voices." He said, "How could I speak loudly when I am bad-mouthing someone?"
Mingmei: "..."
Oh my god.
Zhuang Zhixi: "This yard will be even more chaotic in the future."
He rubbed his hands.
Mingmei looked at him and said, "Why are you so excited? I'm telling you, stay away from Zhou Qun from now on."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately raised his hand: "I promise."
Mingmei: “That’s more like it.”
Each family has its own little secrets. The head of the family, Wang Xiangxiu, couldn't help but go out. Bai Fendou saw her through the window and asked quickly, "Sister Xiu, what are you doing?"
Wang Xiangxiu: "I want to go see my mother-in-law. As you know, she is still in the hospital. I am really worried about her, so I want to go see her."
Bai Fendou: "Let me take you there. It's so late at night, it's not safe for a woman like you."
Wang Xiangxiu shook her head: "It's okay, I'll take the main road, nothing will happen. I just suddenly felt anxious, and I still want to see the old man."
Bai Fendou: "No, I'll take you there. It's just right for me to go see my old man. He's such a worry to me."
Wang Xiangxiu complained coquettishly, "You sent me off today and it will be late in the evening. It will affect your date tomorrow. You have a date with nurse Tao tomorrow, right? As your sister, I can't delay your business. I am just an outsider, I am nothing."
"Don't say that. In my heart, you are not an outsider. You are my biological sister..."
In fact, Nurse Xiao Tao did not make an appointment with Bai Fighten. She would not say it directly. This is called a willing person taking the bait.
But Bai Fendou was trying to flatter himself and would not say that the other party did not make an appointment with him. Instead, he confirmed the matter. As a result, people who did not see the scene at the time, such as Wang Xiangxiu, had misunderstood.
Bai Fendou: "Even if I get married, you are still my sister. You, Sister Xiu, are the most important in my heart. Even my wife has to come after you."
Wang Zhaodi came out to fetch water and heard this: “???”
Even though she was a girl from the countryside, she felt that what he said was damn wrong.
She looked at Wang Xiangxiu and Bai Fendou again, and thought of everyone's discussions, pursed her lips, and quickly ran away.
These two people don't have a good relationship.
They have it in their village too, she understands.
Get that broken shoe.
Bai Fendou and Wang Xiangxiu were spotted by Wang Zhaodi, but they didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, they went out together. Wang Zhaodi shook her head. What was going on?
But then I thought, it wasn't a decent thing for me to do this, so I despised myself again.
Then he started working seriously.
Aunt Zhou was arrested, and now she lives alone in a room. This is something Wang Zhaodi had never thought about. She couldn't believe that one day she would be able to live in a room by herself. Wang Zhaodi didn't know how long this good life would last. But she was very grateful. She filled the bucket with water, took it home and poured it into the water tank. After several trips, the water tank was full.
Just as she was about to take a rest, she heard Jiang Lu calling, "Zhao Di, wash our clothes."
The order was very casual. Wang Zhaodi said, "Okay."
Even though it was dark, she quickly went to the yard to work in the dark. Jiang Lu glanced out the window and saw that she was working hard, and said, "She works well, but she eats too much. She has no sense at all. She took the initiative to eat the donkey's whip. She doesn't even consider her status. She has no sense at all. Your mother said that she needs to be taken care of and have children, otherwise she can only eat steamed bread."
Zhou Qun was not willing to care about these trivial matters. He was still immersed in the pain of not being able to drink with Bai Fendou today. He just felt that Jiang Lu, who was blocking him and being sentimental, was very hateful.
He turned over and said, "I'm tired and want to go to bed early."
Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Qun with resentment, wanting to do something that a couple should do. Her fingers gently climbed up, but Zhou Qun slapped her hand away and said, "I'm not in the mood. My mother has been in there for the past few days, and it's hard to say how she is doing. How can I be in the mood for that?"
Jiang Lu hummed softly.
She knew Zhou Qun was under a lot of pressure, so she also lay down and said, "I know, I didn't think..."
Zhou Qun raised his mouth in mockery. I didn't expect you to do anything? The two of them fell silent.
Wang Zhaodi was washing clothes in the yard alone when she saw Mingmei and her husband coming out of the house to wash. The weather was warm and there was no need for hot water. Mingmei was used to washing in the yard because it was more convenient.
She looked at Wang Zhaodi in surprise and said, "You're still washing clothes so late?"
Wang Zhaodi: "Well, I'm fine anyway."
Mingmei started brushing her teeth and said, "So will you go with them tomorrow?"
Wang Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. She said, "I want to take a look."
She wanted to go out and take a look. If she didn't take a look at the city, she would be driven back to her hometown soon. She was simply unsophisticated, but she was not stupid. She could see that Sister Jiang Lu and Brother Zhou Qun didn't like her very much.
She knew that Sister Jiang Lu would look at her with hostility.
Now that Aunt Zhou, who was trying to help her have a baby, was in jail, they would probably chase her away. After all, she ate so much.
Wang Zhaodi: "I want to take a look before I go back."
Mingmei was surprised: "Are you going back?"
I haven't heard that the Zhou family wants to send her away. Isn't she here to have a baby? The Zhou family didn't say a word, but everyone knew it.
Wang Zhaodi: "No, but it's hard to say."
She scratched her head and said, "I can be considered as someone who has been to the city. My elder sister and my younger sister have never left the village."
Mingmei looked at Wang Zhaodi and said, "What would you do if you go back?"
Wang Zhaodi: "Work, but my parents will probably arrange a marriage for me, I'm not young anymore."
Mingmei didn't know what to say, but she still said: "Men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If you want to get married, you really have to open your eyes."
Then she felt that it was a bit easy for her to say this. She had the choice to say this, but Wang Zhaodi didn't. Maybe her parents just wanted to find her a man who could afford the best gift. It's not that Mei should think badly, but how can they expect good parents to send their daughter to do this?
She said seriously: "Sometimes you have to learn to fight for yourself. If someone really forces you to do something, there is still the Women's Federation."
"What is that?"
Wang Zhaodi didn’t understand again.
Mingmei perked up and gave her some basic knowledge about the Women's Federation. She said, "I think..."
"Wang Zhaodi."
Jiang Lu's voice suddenly came, and Wang Zhaodi hurriedly said, "Here I come!"
She smiled apologetically at Mingmei and said, "I'm leaving first."
She quickly wiped her hands and went home. Jiang Lu looked at Wang Zhaodi unhappily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about outside? What Women's Federation? Do you really think anyone can take care of your family's affairs? Who do you think you are? If someone wants to take care of you, have some shame."
Wang Zhaodi bit her lip.
Jiang Lu was standing in the outer room with her clothes on, saying, "In the future, have less contact with Mingmei. You really think she's telling you this and that out of kindness. I tell you, she has bad intentions. She can't bear to see our family go smoothly. She doesn't even know her last name after getting pregnant. What the hell, it's guaranteed to be a girl."
Wang Zhaodi: “…”
Jiang Lu: "She lives a good life, so naturally she acts like everyone in the world is a good person and if she is bullied she should go to the Women's Federation. Don't you think about it? Your parents raised you, shouldn't you give back to them? Even if you are contributing to your family, you should."
Wang Zhaodi: “…”
She whispered, "I know."
Everyone had their own opinion, but she vaguely felt that Jiang Lu was wrong. However, as she was living under someone else's roof, she would not refute it.
"You should stay away from Mingmei in the future."
Wang Zhaodi: “Okay.”
Jiang Lu: "You really don't know what I'm talking about."
She snorted heavily and returned to the house. Seeing that Jiang Lu had already fallen asleep, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. There were so many things going on in her family recently that she was really upset. But even their married life was not harmonious. She was even more upset.
Mingmei has a child, and Lifang also has a child.
How come they are all pregnant? Fortunately Wang Xiangxiu is a widow, otherwise she would have a child, and then she is the only one who can't have a child. Jiang Lu felt very uncomfortable and angry, and wanted to curse these people for not being able to have children, but they all gave birth to children.
But Yang Lixin is still quite amazing. Li Fang has already given birth to two children, and she is about to get pregnant with a third one.
She thought for a moment, then came out again and asked, "Wang Zhaodi, I heard that your mother is very fertile, is that true?"
She just chose the one who can give birth. This is a trait that daughters always inherit, right? Wang Zhaodi was about to put her clothes on to dry for a rest. When she heard this, she nodded quickly: "My mother can give birth. She gave birth to nine children, nine of us sisters."
"Sister?" Wang Zhaodi's voice changed. She looked at Wang Zhaodi in shock, and suddenly felt that she had lost out. She looked at Wang Zhaodi with dissatisfaction. Now she was not satisfied with her at all. It was true that she wanted to have a child, but she wanted a son, because only a son could provide for her in her old age. But what if she gave birth to a girl?
Jiang Lu doesn't want to have a daughter because she would be a money-loser.
"Your mother gave birth to only daughters?"
Wang Zhaodi nodded.
Jiang Lu frowned in dissatisfaction and was speechless. She waved her hand casually and said, "Go do what you need to do."
She returned to the house, feeling very irritable. Zhou Qun was already resting at this time. Hearing her movements, he said, "What are you doing again?"
Jiang Lu: "I...I want to talk to Wang Zhaodi."
Zhou Qun said coldly: "I won't sleep with her."
It's disgusting just looking at it.
He turned over and fell asleep.
Jiang Lu looked at him with emotion, but she also felt vaguely sad in her heart.
Their family was in a dilemma. Mingmei had just finished washing up and was lying down in her room. She snuggled in Zhuang Zhixi's arms and said, "I was talking to Wang Zhaodi just now, and Jiang Lu deliberately called her away."
He said, “By the way, I have good news for you.”
Mingmei: “Hmm?”
She looked up at Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi said, "The article I wrote last time was accepted by the newspaper and will be typeset and published in a while."
Mingmei's eyes lit up and she was extremely happy: "Really?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course I am. Although I was transferred into the Propaganda Department based on my own abilities, I also had some luck, so I still want to prove myself. Now it's good like this. I feel a lot more relaxed."
Mingmei gently stroked Zhuang Zhixi's face. Zhuang Zhixi: "What are you doing? Do you have any ideas?"
"No, that's nonsense."
She said, "I just think it's not easy for you either."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Whose job is easy? They are all the same."
He touched Mingmei's belly and asked, "Did this little kid bother you today?"
Mingmei chuckled: "It's okay, but being pregnant is really not an easy thing."
Zhuang Zhixi: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me right away. Don't hold on."
"I know."
Mingmei laughed softly...
It was a quiet Saturday night and there was still no more entertainment activities for everyone, so they just went to bed.
But if there is one person in this courtyard who can't sleep, it's Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu tossed and turned, and really couldn't sleep at all. She only found out that Li Fang was pregnant when she came back today. Originally, Zu Mingmei's pregnancy had already put her under a lot of pressure, and she didn't expect Li Fang to be pregnant too.
For a second, she was so angry that she wanted to push them down and make them lose the child completely, but she knew in her heart that this was unrealistic. She couldn't do it yet, and if she really did it, she would have to go to jail.
She would never do this on her best days.
But if she had to push Wang Zhaodi to sleep with Zhou Qun, she didn't want to do that either. He was her man, why should Wang Zhaodi get the advantage? She was not happy about it in the first place, and she was even more unhappy when she heard that Wang Zhaodi's family had nine daughters.
Even if this girl can give birth, she may not be able to give birth to a son.
She couldn't sleep and her eyes were wide open. For some reason, she thought of her parents. Her parents were already forcing her to divorce because Zhou Qun slept with an old woman. Now, her mother-in-law did such a despicable thing, which made her even more doomed.
They were all forcing her to divorce, but Jiang Lu was not happy about it. Not to mention that Zhou Qun was so good to her, she was completely unwilling to do so. Even if Zhou Qun was not good to her, she would not be willing. How could such a good woman get married again? If she got married again, could she still find a decent man? No woman who got married again would marry well. In short, she was not happy about it.
However, his parents refused to give in. If they didn't divorce, they would never let her come to their house again. And her parents firmly believed that Zhou Qun must be the one who was infertile. They had never thought about it before. Everyone thought that it must be a woman who couldn't get pregnant. How could this man not get pregnant?
But his parents insisted that Zhou Qun had messed around with other old women when he was young, and that he must have ruined his health. Jiang Lu was in deep trouble. She really wanted to have a child. If a woman didn't have a child, she wouldn't be a complete woman, her life would be over, and there would be no one to take care of her in her old age.
But if she was asked to leave Zhou Qun, she would be asking for death. She did not believe the accusations against Zhou Qun at all. Outsiders did not know how good Zhou Qun had been to her over the years, and she remembered it all in her heart. She knew Zhou Qun best.
They have been married for more than ten years.
He is definitely not that kind of person. Those old women ordered him to do the work and now they are throwing dirty water on him. They are all damned.
Jiang Lu tossed and turned, and suddenly, she had a shocking idea. Her face suddenly became hot. Even though no one saw it, she blushed quickly, but she felt that it was normal for her to have such thoughts.
She pursed her lips and looked sideways at Zhou Qun, who was already asleep...
She must leave a child for Zhou Qun. If there is really something wrong with Zhou Qun, it would be useless even if there were ten Wang Zhaodi, let alone one.
In the past, she firmly believed that Zhou Qun could not have children, but her mother kept talking to her about it every day, and finally made her a little shaken.
What if she finds someone else to live with? As long as the child is born to her, it is the child of the Zhou family.
Moreover, it can dispel the gossip that she has been unable to have children for so many years.
But if he was looking for someone, who should he look for? Jiang Lu immediately turned his attention to the yard, where there were many young men. The Zhuang brothers, Bai Fendou, Yang Lixin, and others...
In short, there are actually quite a few.
But she quickly shook her head. If she wanted to find him, she couldn't find him so close. If someone saw him, it would be a disaster. If this child looked like the neighbor, it would be a big deal. But what should she do?
We can't find anyone in their yard, and we can't find anyone in the factory, so it's very difficult.
It's better not to have any contact with the person she is looking for, so that she won't think too much about it.
Ah, Mingmei.
Mingmei's cousin!
Jiang Lu immediately thought of this person. This person seemed to be from another place, looked good, and was said to be well-educated. So this was a very good candidate. Jiang Lu immediately became energetic and laughed.
With a bit of horror.
Yes, this is a good candidate.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Lu decided to find Mingmei tomorrow to find out the truth. Although the man was Grandpa Lan's grandson, Jiang Lu did not plan to find Grandpa Lan. She was actually a little afraid of Grandpa Lan. For some reason, she always felt that this old man had seen too much and could see through her thoughts at once, and she was determined not to let anyone see it.
She still has some shame.
Early the next morning, Mingmei came out to prepare for work. Their job is different from other people's. There is no proper rest time and they can only schedule days off. For example, today is Sunday and no one is working, but she still has to go to work.
"Angmei."
Jiang Lu didn't sleep for half the night yesterday, waiting for Mingmei. When he saw Mingmei coming out, he hurried over to her. Mingmei greeted him with a smile.
Jiang Lu: "You are going to work."
Mingmei: "Yes, we as ticket sellers don't have weekends."
Jiang Lu: "Then why don't you take a few days off? I remember you have guests coming to your house, right? Don't you need to entertain them?"
Mingmei: "..."
She looked at Jiang Lu in confusion and said, "Guests? There are no guests at my house."
Jiang Lu curled her lips and said, "It's your cousin. I remember seeing this person."
Mingmei was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and said, "He, he's gone."
"What!" Jiang Lu was shocked.
Mingmei: "???"
She looked Jiang Lu up and down in confusion and said, "He was only on a business trip for four days and he has already gone back. Why did you suddenly think of asking about him? He has his own job too, how could he be delayed here?"
Jiang Lu smiled awkwardly, but her face was not smiling, and said, "No, I was just asking casually."
Mingmei didn't quite believe it, and said "oh" softly, and then quickly asked: "What about Aunt Zhou? What's the situation over there? Can she come back?"
Jiang Lu's mouth twitched. She really didn't want to pay attention to this old woman. This damn old thing always showed off at home. She hated her so much. She didn't expect that this person would curse her father behind her back. She hated her even more.
If it weren't for her, how could her marriage be in such a precarious situation.
This is just an old immortal.
But she couldn't curse people directly, because she was someone else's daughter-in-law.
She said: "She doesn't actually have bad intentions. She's just old and confused. She definitely wouldn't order a robbery or injure anyone. But she should be held accountable for her feudal superstition." Although the specific circumstances are still unknown, as a relative of both the victim and the perpetrator, Jiang Lu still knows a little more.
"She provided a lot of information about my father to that group of people, so she may be held accountable."
Mingmei: “Oh my god.”
Jiang Lu took a deep breath and brought the topic back to the topic: "When will your cousin come back after he left this time?"
Mingmei looked at Jiang Lu strangely. She felt that Jiang Lu was a little too concerned about her cousin. She said, "It should be a long time. The distance is so far. If it's not something important, how can he run back and forth? My cousin didn't even come when I got married."
Jiang Lu instantly felt that this person was no good.
Jiang Lu missed such a good candidate and regretted that he had not made this decision a few days earlier.
She bit her lip, feeling very annoyed.
She didn't fall in love with this person. She only loved Zhou Qun the most, no one else. She was angry that there was no such suitable candidate. After all, it was so far away, it was impossible to connect with him. What a pity, what a pity.
Mingmei: "Do you... want to talk to him about something? Do you know him?"
Jiang Lu: "No, no, I'm just asking casually. I haven't been to Jinling yet, so I'm just curious. Don't take it to heart."
Mingmei: "???"
She really didn't believe this excuse.
But Mingmei didn't say anything more because Jiang Lu had already turned and left.
At this time, Zhuang Zhixi also came out: "I'll take you to work."
Mingmei: "Okay."
The couple went out together, Zhuang Zhixi drove Mingmei, he asked: "What did Jiang Lu want to do with you? Doesn't she usually ignore you?"
Mingmei frowned and said, "I'm also confused. It's really strange that she actually asked me about my cousin's situation. I don't know why she asked this when we obviously don't know each other."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows.
He joked, "Maybe he's attracted to your cousin."
Mingmei: "Stop talking nonsense."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone knows that Jiang Lu loves Zhou Qun deeply. You are talking nonsense."
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and said, "That's hard to say. Why would she ask that?"
Zhuang Zhixi sighed, "Don't think it's impossible. Although I'm joking, it makes sense if you think about it. Ever since your grandfather said that Zhou Qun liked men, I've felt that the world is full of wonders. In fact, many things are really possible. Everything can happen."
Mingmei: "...If Zhou Qun is attracted to both men and women, that would be too much."
She couldn't even describe it.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Not surprising at all."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Aren't you surprised? Tell the truth."
Zhuang Zhixi: “A little bit.”
"Ha ha ha ha."
The couple laughed. Passers-by on the road heard the sound of the flute and looked at the young couple. They thought they were a perfect match, both of them were very good-looking. They were also a little used to other people's gazes, so they didn't take it seriously.
Zhuang Zhixi sent Mingmei to work and said, "I'll pick you up when you get off work."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She walked into the courtyard with her crossbody bag on her back and went upstairs. As she was walking upstairs, she heard someone calling her, "Mingmei."
Mingmei: "Section Chief?"
"Come to my office. I have something to tell you."
Mingmei: "Oh."
She quickly followed her boss to the office. The section chief said, "Your mother came to see me yesterday about your job transfer."
Mingmei sat up straight immediately.
The old section chief laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just be natural, don't be nervous. I've thought about it, and your current situation is indeed not suitable for the current job. I have communicated with the office, and you and Xiao Cui in the office can exchange jobs. I will handle the transfer for you tomorrow. Starting from next month, you will take over Xiao Cui's job as the statistician in the office, and she will take your place in the car."
Mingmei was puzzled: "Next month? Isn't next month tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is Children's Day.
The section chief laughed, "Yes, it's tomorrow, but we have to be more rigorous, so it must be next month."
Mingmei raised the corners of her mouth with a smile.
She knew that she was transferred so quickly because her mother had looked for help from everyone. But this was not surprising. Her mother knew her problem. As soon as she said she wanted to change jobs, her mother must have been extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to her daughter.
Section Chief: "Actually, your mother is a little anxious. If you wait a little longer, there might be a better job. Although the job of a statistician is easy, it doesn't have much development prospects. And you can only gain experience. It's hard to get promoted with outstanding work performance."
Mingmei's eyes were watery as she said seriously, "My mom is worried about me. I have a child now and she is worried about him following her in the car all day."
Do you think the job of a statistician is good? It's pretty good. You just sit in an office and it's not busy. The salary doesn't affect it. It's good for those who don't seek to make progress. But if you want to earn a lot, it's not a good job.
Why?
Because the ticket sellers at the bus station get a three-yuan subsidy every month. Although the salary of the train ticket sellers will not be affected by the transfer of the office statistics staff, the three yuan will be gone. Three yuan is not a small amount. It will be thirty-six yuan a year.
Another example is that the conductor may be promoted to a higher rank due to his connections on the train, such as returning lost property, mediating disputes, or performing well in surprise inspections. This promotion will naturally lead to a salary increase. However, the statistician is relatively isolated from the outside world, so it is difficult for external factors to increase his salary, and he can only increase his salary by gaining experience.
So if she really wanted to develop or make more money, she would be inferior to the train conductor. Otherwise, Xiao Cui, the statistician, could not submit a report to leave. She wanted to leave, but no one wanted to change with her. Mingmei wanted to change jobs at this time.
It can be said that this is completely effortless.
The two of them just happened to exchange, making both of them satisfied.
Of course, Mingmei didn't suffer a loss in this matter, because apart from the three yuan subsidy for following the car, other promotions and rewards all depend on the actual situation, and you may never encounter them in your lifetime. It still depends on luck.
Moreover, no matter it is raining, snowing or other weather conditions, no matter it is New Year or other holidays, the ticket sellers have to go to work normally. It is unlike the office where they have a normal rest every week and normal holidays during New Year and other holidays.
It depends on what you want, there are gains and losses.
Mingmei: "So it will be my last day on the bus?"
The section chief smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's the last day. You will report to the office tomorrow and do your best."
Mingmei nodded: "I understand."
She pretended to sigh and said, "After I go over there, there will be no one to protect me."
The old section chief chuckled and said, "What do you want to do? You need someone to protect you. You know everything here, so why do you need me to protect you? Besides, I'm going to retire in three months, so I can't protect you even if I'm here."
Mingmei was curious: "Who will take over your family when you retire?"
The old section chief said: "My old boy, well, don't mention it. He has been beaten into a pig's brain for this job."
This is why children cry so much.
Although the eldest and second sons both have jobs, their wives do not, so they are all eyeing them and trying to snatch them away; the married daughters also want them, but no matter what, he can't give them to others. It's not that he is partial, but if the job is not given to the eldest son, he will have to go to the countryside.
One of his children has already been sent to the countryside. This time, he can avoid going to the countryside as long as he has a job, so he is determined not to let his youngest son go to the countryside again. They are all city kids, and they are children from the old city. Their conditions are better than others. They can't stand going to the countryside. not possible. Now this is the general trend, and his little network of contacts is not useful. Who knows where he will be assigned.
So his youngest son couldn't go to the countryside.
But it is obvious that the older brothers and sisters have their own ideas and want to fight for their own small family.
He sighed and said, "I'm not as capable as your parents."
Mingmei: "What are you talking about, Section Chief?"
Section Chief: "Your family knows how to educate their children and have good taste in choosing a daughter-in-law. When your mother gave you the job instead of your sister-in-law, we old neighbors were afraid that your family would quarrel, but in the end nothing happened. But look at us, whose family doesn't quarrel over work."
Mingmei didn't know what to say. She thought for a moment and said seriously, "I will definitely come back."
She remembered the dream about her mother-in-law, and the trip to the countryside was over.
"I hope so."
Mingmei went out and registered for today's work. It was early in the morning, and before Mingmei arrived, everyone in the crew already knew that she was going to be transferred. To be honest, if she was transferred without any work, everyone would definitely find it incomprehensible.
But now it is quite understandable. After all, Mingmei is pregnant.
In fact, generally speaking, people would not rush to transfer positions just because of pregnancy, but since Mingmei did it, everyone thought it was quite natural. After all, Mingmei's mother is an old employee of the bus station. Many people watched Mingmei grow up and knew that the family spoiled their daughter.
It is normal for parents to transfer their daughter if they love her.
The driver smiled with emotion: "You said I have been working with you for several years, and you are suddenly transferred. I am a little reluctant to leave you."
Mingmei chatted with a smile: "Actually, I just looked for my mother yesterday. I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect my mother to act so quickly. Today is the last day."
"You, girl, don't understand your mother as well as we outsiders. Your mother's personality is just so impetuous and she doesn't drag her feet. But it's also good that you've been transferred. I noticed that you didn't look very well yesterday."
Mingmei: "That's why I feel uncomfortable too. I don't dare to be careless. After all, this is my first child..."
"That's right, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Mingmei muttered: "When you drive in the future, please pay attention to safety. You must be more careful when it rains or snows..."
In her dream, the road was slippery on a rainy day and the car slipped and almost crashed into pedestrians. Fortunately, the car braked suddenly. The car was fine, but the people fell forward due to inertia. She was sitting in the conductor's seat, and there were people in front of her, so the accident happened.
"When you work with Xiao Cui in the future, please don't create conflicts."
The driver laughed and said, "Well, you really act like an old lady when you keep mumbling."
Mingmei: "If you say that, I'll be very angry."
The driver laughed: "I'm kidding, you're a young girl."
Mingmei nodded in satisfaction. She didn't expect to be transferred so soon, so she was determined to do her last shift well and treat every passenger very seriously and politely. Today was Sunday, and there were quite a lot of people, but Mingmei was very comfortable.
However, because of her politeness, the passengers were a little confused.
After all, everyone is used to ticket sellers having bad attitudes and shouting loudly.
It's not that anyone really wants to have a bad service attitude, but it's the influence of the work environment. Everyone is used to speaking loudly, and if the voice is too soft, the people behind cannot hear it. Over time, they get used to speaking louder voices.
Maybe because it was the last day, Mingmei not only had a good attitude, but was also quite energetic.
She didn't feel that way at first, but when she was told that she was going to be transferred, Mingmei really felt reluctant to leave this position, after all, she had worked with the driver for three years and was very familiar with this route.
Mingmei thought that if she hadn't had the nightmare, she would have applied for the position.
This is true even if you are pregnant.
But now that she has really been transferred, she feels disappointed, but also relieved.
The only thing that feels bad is the three dollars, woohoo.
She touched her belly and said, "My babies, look, your mother started to earn less money for you before you were even born. You better behave yourself after you are born, or I will spank you when I remember the three dollars you lose every month."
She muttered to herself quietly, but the month was so short that there was no reaction at all.
Mingmei: “…”
She poked again, took a deep breath, raised her eyes and continued working.
The last day, stand guard for the last time.
In a bungalow on the outskirts of the city, a skinny boy ran very fast. He stumbled and fell several times, but he managed to get up. He ran into the door and shouted, "Boss!"
"What's the matter? Why are you so reckless?"
The skinny boy was panting and collapsed on the ground. He said, "I, I, I heard something big."
"Big deal? What big deal could it be? Tell me."
"This morning, I went to the hospital to see my second aunt. When I was on the bus, I heard the driver chatting with Tigress. Tigress was going to be transferred!"
"What!" The young man who was called the boss stood up suddenly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He grabbed the boy who reported the news and asked tremblingly: "Tigress, Tigress is going to be transferred? Are you sure you heard it right?"
"No! Really!"
The eldest brother quickly rushed to the table in the room and began to burn incense, crying: "Ancestors, please bless me. This is great, this is great, this is great. She is finally going to be transferred... The world has suffered from tigresses for a long time!"
If all the ticket sellers in this world were like a tigress, they would starve to death. Life would be too difficult. But they dared not offend this little girl. This tigress herself was fierce, but she also had a father who was even fiercer.
They once wanted to teach the tigress a lesson, but it was just a simple lesson, they didn't intend to do anything bad, they just threatened her with their mouths. As a result, the tigress's father was almost crippled by the beating.
This uncle is so strong that he can fight ten people at the same time, but he actually carries a knife with him. He is very unsportsmanlike.
It is said that he is transporting large quantities of goods to other places.
They dare not mess with this kind of person.
If you dare to transport large quantities of goods to other places these days, there is a chance that there will be guns on the trucks, and they are all extremely fierce and you can't afford to offend them.
Fortunately, fortunately the tigress is going to be transferred.
"Go quickly, go quickly, ask me carefully, ask carefully, to see if it is true that they are going to be transferred. If they are going to be transferred... hehe, hehehe! Our good days are coming."
He shouted: "Today at noon, let's eat meat to celebrate!"
