Chapter 116 Give up on this idea
Shen Jiale was packing clothes in her room.
The factory was located in Yaoshui Village, and as the deputy factory manager, she would definitely go back to take charge.
While packing, Liang Qiaoli, Lu Yongfu and Lu Mingqi came.
"Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, why are you all here together?"
Lu Mingqi said, "We came here to get some quiet time."
Shen Jiale looked at her parents-in-law in confusion.
Lu Yongfu looked a little uncomfortable.
Liang Qiaoli said, "Your aunt passed away and left her daughter Ma Qianqian behind. I'm worried that she will move in with us, so she came to hide here with you."
Shen Jiale said, "The factory has clearly stated that it will not hire people from other villages. Why is she still not giving up? Even if she stays, I won't let her come to work." "
She didn't say anything about work. She just said that she hadn't seen her uncles for many years and missed them very much, so she wanted to stay for a few days."
"You all are here. Where are Bailing and sister-in-law?"
"Bailing went to Aunt Zhou's house, and your sister-in-law went back to her parents' home."
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "Is it okay to hide like this?"
"Those two families won't let her stay. We'll go back in the evening."
...
When the family members came, Shen Jiale prepared to go back with everyone after dinner. Lu Mingfeng was reluctant to let them go.
"Wife, how about I quit my job at the winery and go back with you?"
As soon as he said this, the family members looked at him in disbelief.
Shen Jiale said, "We just need to produce. When the biscuit factory is on track and someone is selected to manage it, I won't need to stay in the factory every day. I will live in the county town when the time comes."
Liang Qiaoli said, "Yes, if you work in the county town, you will become a city dweller in the future, and your children will also have a city hukou and can eat commercial grain."
Lu Mingfeng didn't care whether they ate commercial grain or not. If his wife wanted to live in the county town, he would stay there honestly.
If Shen Jiale wanted to go back, he couldn't go back in the evening, otherwise he would get home by dark.
Along the way, Lu Yongfu and his son were still thinking about how to send him away without offending anyone.
When we arrived at the village, we heard from the villagers that Ma Qianqian had moved into Lu Mingxuan's home.
Shen Jiale wondered, "Why doesn't she live with Xiaowen?"
The villagers said, "Your uncle's family wanted to send her away, but Mingxuan insisted on taking her back home."
Shen Jiale and Liang Qiaoli looked at each other.
Lu Mingxuan couldn't take care of himself, so he took in others. Was he just eating to make ends meet?
Lu Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't live in his house, it was fine. It was none of his business who she lived with.
...
On the day of the opening, Lu Mingfeng took a special leave and bought firecrackers to celebrate the official opening of the biscuit factory.
People from the commune also came to visit.
Seeing the furnaces and egg roll machines in the factory, the conditions are very simple, and they can't be compared with the factories in the county.
Ruyi Biscuit Factory is more of a workshop than a factory.
When the workers started working, Xu Jin stopped people from visiting, saying it was for food safety and hygiene.
Seeing that all employees were wearing uniform white coats, the commune leader encouraged them and ended the visit.
Lu Mingfeng ordered 50 furnaces and 50 egg roll machines, but only 15 sets were shown today.
When the employees' hand speed improves, more will be added.
Don't underestimate the 15 sets of equipment. After the assembly line, the output of biscuits is also considerable.
Xu Jin used his connections to send the biscuits to various supply and marketing cooperatives for sale. He also took out some for customers to taste. The response was very good and they were sold out on the same day.
Several supply and marketing cooperatives increased the supply, and Yaoshui Village also took out all the stoves and put them into production.
Just as everyone was working hard to increase production, Xu Jin brought back some bad news.
Similar biscuits appeared in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price was 2 cents cheaper than Yi biscuits.
This was a blatant business grab. Xu Jin was so anxious that he came to Shen Jiale to discuss whether to reduce the price as well.
Shen Jiale was confident in her biscuits.
She returned to Yaoshui Village, on the one hand to catch up with production, and on the other hand to add living spring water to the biscuits.
If an ordinary biscuit factory wants to survive among the major state-owned factories, its products must be unique.
The living spring water is its secret weapon.
Shen Jiale told Xu Jin not to worry, the price of biscuits is normal.
The sales volume of Ruyi biscuits has dropped significantly due to the impact of similar products on the market.
The person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative found Xu Jin and suggested that he also lower the price.
Xu Jin said that his biscuits are made with plenty of ingredients and the price has been pushed to the lowest level, and there is no price reduction.
When there are similar products that are relatively cheap, Ruyi biscuits still have sales, Xu Jin is relieved.
…
Ma Qianqian stayed at Lu Mingxuan’s house for three days, and did not come to Shen Jiale or Lu Yongfu’s house.
Liang Qiaoli knew her elder sister-in-law well, and her daughter was definitely not a pushover, so she reminded Lu Mingqi and his wife to be careful.
Liang Qiaoli was very confident about Shen Jiale, and unless Shen Jiale was willing, there was no way to get any advantage from her.
On Saturday night, Lu Mingfeng rushed home on his bike as soon as he got off work.
When he arrived at the door, he saw that the gate was bolted, so he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
As soon as he entered the door, he hugged Shen Jiale.
Lu Bailing asked curiously: "Second brother, how did you get in? Did I forget to bolt the door?"
Lu Mingfeng touched his sister's head and said: "It's bolted. I climbed over the wall to get in. The bike is still outside. You push it in."
Shen Jiale blamed: "Why don't you come back tomorrow morning? The visibility is not good at night."
Lu Mingfeng kissed his wife: "I have a flashlight and can see the road clearly. If you don't come back tonight, I won't sleep well."
Seeing the second brother's clingy energy, Lu Bailing hurried out to push the bike.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a person lying at the door.
Lu Bailing was startled, pushed the man away, picked up the stick at the door and hit him.
Ma Qianqian was in pain and quickly revealed her identity: "Bailing, it's me, your cousin Qianqian."
She had only seen this cousin from her aunt's family a few times.
Her mother said that Ma Qianqian stayed because she wanted to work in the biscuit factory and asked her to ignore her.
"Why are you lying at the door so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Ma Qianqian approached Lu Bailing and said mysteriously, "I just saw a man climb in. I was worried that my second cousin's wife was in danger, so I came to check."
"If you are so kind, why didn't you call someone?"
"My second cousin is not at home. I am afraid that it will affect my second cousin's wife's reputation."
"Stop talking nonsense. That man is my second brother. Hurry up!"
"It turns out that my second cousin is back. It's just right. I'll go see him." Ma Qianqian was about to go in. Lu Bailing
stopped her and said, "My second brother and second sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a week. Why are you going in to join in the fun?" Lu Bailing pushed
the bicycle into the house and quickly closed the door.
It was late at night, and he was hanging around at the second sister-in-law's door. I don't know what he was thinking.
No, tomorrow when I go to school, ask a classmate to bring back a puppy from his home to guard the door.
Lu Bailing still underestimated how thick-skinned people are.
The door was bolted, and Ma Qianqian shouted outside the door: "Second cousin, open the door."
Lu Mingfeng was carrying his wife into the house, and when he heard the noise outside, he frowned in disgust.
He put his wife on the bed, came out and asked Lu Bailing: "Who is screaming outside?"
"Ma Qianqian from my aunt's family, she insisted on coming in, and I didn't let her."
Ma Qianqian kept shouting outside and knocking on the door.
Lu Mingfeng was a little annoyed.
She didn't sleep at night, she was screaming.
After opening the door, Ma Qianqian called out sweetly, "Second cousin."
Lu Mingfeng asked coldly, "What's up?"
"My mother said you are capable. You opened a cookie factory at such a young age. I want to learn more from you."
"You stayed up late at night just to say these nonsense?"
Facing Lu Mingfeng's impolite words, Ma Qianqian did not back down.
Cousin Mingxuan said that although the second cousin looked very cold, he was a man who sympathized with women.
"My uncles said that you are afraid of your wife and cannot make decisions at home. They dare not let our Lu family members go to work in the factory.
However, I believe that my second cousin only went along with her to avoid making the pregnant second cousin's wife angry."
Lu Mingfeng said impatiently: "What do you want to say?"
Ma Qianqian pretended to be shy and said: "My second cousin is a busy man. He has to work in the county and run a factory. I want to help my second cousin share some of
the burden and learn from him." He didn't work in the factory, so what could he do?
Lu Mingfeng knew that this was Ma Qianqian's attempt to get into the biscuit factory and flatter him.
She said directly: "Even if I can be the boss, I won't let you work in the factory. Forget it."
After being rejected mercilessly by Lu Mingfeng, Ma Qianqian shed tears of grievance.
"Second cousin, how could you..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingfeng slammed the door shut.
