Chapter 655 Insatiable Greed
Looking at the empty technical school dormitory, Meng Xia, who had lived there for more than half a year, really had nothing to miss.
You should know that she has never lived in such a nice new house in her entire life.
Looking at her daughter Lu Qiaoge, who was chatting and laughing as they moved things together, and then at Qin Hengzhi, who had just returned from a business trip and was already busy helping out, and Song Shaowen, who was carrying jars of pickled vegetables onto the car, she realized that both of her sons-in-law were exactly what she wanted.
As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years. Just two years ago, she was worried about what to eat next and wondering when she could pay off her debts.
Everyone says that being poor is glorious, but come on, she doesn't believe that at all.
Whoever wants to live a poor life can live it, but she certainly doesn't.
She got off her bicycle and called out, "Qiao Ge, you guys carry it first, I'll go cook. Today we're having roast duck and stewed goose..."
A roast duck restaurant opened in the city.
There are five master chefs who have specially studied in Beijing. As soon as the store opened, the hundreds of ducks they prepared were sold out.
Business has been very good ever since.
Located in northern Xinjiang, Jiangcheng is already sparsely populated, and nowadays it is even rarer to see unemployed young people in the city.
When the call to go to the countryside was made, Jiangcheng was the first choice, and many educated youth came here to build up the frontier.
Many people spent their innocent youth here, but as the years brought more and more hardships, many began to hate this land and tried every means to go home.
However, returning to the original city is not so easy either.
Many people are suffering and waiting anxiously.
Who would have thought that such a dramatic change would occur here in just one year?
First, the Xiangyang Food Factory of the 516 Military Factory developed a new food that sells well all over the world—instant noodles.
Subsequently, Jiangcheng built several factories.
This was impossible before.
After all, not only is the population large, but factories are also saturated, making it extremely difficult to find a formal job.
Even a temporary worker position is highly coveted, with countless people vying for it.
In Jiangcheng, the educated youth who came here to work in the countryside received a document stating that they also had Jiangcheng household registration and could participate in recruitment exams just like the locals.
If you want to go to 516, you can. As long as your grades are excellent and you pass all the requirements, you will definitely not be stuck on the quantity requirement.
Therefore, Jiangcheng is a difficult city to evaluate now.
It's said to be similar to Beijing, seemingly lacking a geographical advantage, yet its standard of living is even higher than Beijing's.
Whether workers or farmers, their living standards have greatly improved.
Once a roast duck restaurant became popular, more than a dozen roast duck restaurants opened in succession.
The ducks were all delivered from the various communes below, and were 100% fresh.
Just as Meng Xia was about to get on her bicycle, she glanced at her second daughter and thought with great pride that all of this was achieved under her second daughter's guidance.
Otherwise, even if it had developed, it certainly wouldn't have been at this speed.
Unfortunately, to maintain a low profile and be humble, Meng Xia wouldn't dare say that to anyone.
Lu Qiaoge put down what she was holding. Because Meng Xia was looking at her, she thought something was wrong and asked, "Mom, is there anything else?"
Meng Xia quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll be going now."
She smiled, and although the cold wind hit her face as she rode her bicycle, her heart was burning with warmth.
At this moment, Kong Fanrong was not happy at all.
She managed to swap houses with the Liang family as she wished, but it was actually a reluctant move, and she wasn't very satisfied with it.
Although they verbally advocate that cadres and workers are the same, it is impossible for them to be the same in reality.
Everyone knows this.
So we'll make a division again this time.
However, the division is not very clear, after all, the workers in 516 are also of very high quality.
Many veteran military industry workers have more influence than some cadres.
Kong Fanrong's family owns a house, and her husband is Deputy Factory Director Kang. According to their rank, they can live in the cadre area.
At the time, Kong Fanrong felt that the house was where Lin Junfeng's family had lived, and that Wei Sixin had been subjected to labor reform, so she felt it was very unlucky.
So he asked his superiors to change his house, and gave a long list of high-sounding reasons, but the superiors didn't think much of it.
Since Kong Fanrong wants to promote his style, then let him promote it.
Anyway, Lin Junfeng's house is quite big, so let's give it to the hardworking Chief Engineer Li.
But who could have imagined that something like this would happen later?
So, having no other option, Kong Fanrong repeatedly approached the leaders, and eventually swapped houses with the Liang family.
With her door no longer facing Wen Guishuang's, and her husband Lao Kang no longer able to see his biological daughter, Kong Fanrong felt much more at ease and truly began to enjoy the sense of superiority that comes with being the wife of a deputy factory director.
Who would have thought that a new house could be built so quickly, and that it would be so much better than the houses they live in now?
The kitchen and bathroom are separate rooms.
Given his family's status, even if there were only two people in his family, they would be allocated the highest-level new house.
Although no one paid at the beginning, the factory took all aspects into consideration and naturally set aside twenty sets separately.
Kong Fanrong wanted to move into a new house, so he wanted to go to the leader.
Deputy Factory Director Kang frowned and said sarcastically, "I've only been in 516 for less than half a year. If you're going to look for me again, I've already moved three times."
"Do you feel uncomfortable because you think my job here is too stable, because no one reports me or criticizes me?"
Kong Fanrong got angry: "Who am I doing this for? Aren't I doing it all for you? So that you can live in a better environment? How can you say that to me?"
The factory manager stopped talking, feeling listless.
He didn't even have the desire to argue with her.
Picking up his briefcase, he said to Kong Fanrong, "The new product is about to launch, and I'll be working overtime these next few days. I'm warning you, Comrade Kong Fanrong, that's the end of the matter regarding the house. You've already gotten the house you wanted, and the new house has nothing to do with you anymore, no matter what."
Kong Fanrong was furious, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise because the house wasn't very soundproof.
She lowered her voice: "Is it wrong for me to want to live a better life? I didn't marry you to live a miserable life."
Deputy Factory Director Kang finally couldn't help but mock again, saying, "So, in order to live a good life, when Wen Guishuang called me, you deliberately misled her with your words, making her think that you were already with me at that time... In fact, you just delivered a document to me that day. At that time, you were still single and didn't have a partner. You made a great sacrifice to live a good life."
If it weren't for this woman, he would have received a call from his ex-wife and found out she was pregnant, and they would definitely have remarried.
How happy the family of three is.
Unfortunately, he doesn't deserve it!
Deputy Factory Director Kang didn't even glance at Kong Fanrong before slamming the door and leaving.
Kong Fanrong was so angry that tears streamed down her face.
At the same time, a feeling of embarrassment and resentment welled up in my heart.
