Chapter 36: Apply to be the captain
"Dad, how can you say that? We have to give it a try to see if Jianguo can become the team leader. How can you just deny him? You are his biological father, and you are the former team leader. If you talk to the team members about this, maybe it will really work." Xie Lanzhi couldn't sit still.
"How can I tell the team members? Do you think I have such a face? Shen Jianguo is always sneaky when doing his work. Who would want such a person to be the team leader?" Old Man Shen slapped the table and said angrily.
"Dad, don't be angry, come and drink." Shen Jianmin hurriedly poured some more wine for Grandpa Shen, also worried that the old man would get sick from anger.
Wang Lanxiu was a biased person to begin with, and of course she was unhappy when she heard her husband say this about her youngest son.
"Old man, I think our second son can definitely do it, so just give it a try. Besides, you see, the second son and his family are not very good at work, but he is your biological son after all, so you have to think about them. If Jianguo can become the team leader, life will be better, right? We can also worry less."
"You all say nice things, but do you really think that anyone can become the team leader if they want to? If you think you have the ability, then go ahead and sign up. I don't say that only someone I recommend can become the team leader." Old Master Shen would never do such a thing that goes against his conscience.
"Dad, what do you mean? Who do you think can be the team leader? Big brother? You are biased!" Shen Jianguo was also angry.
"Shut up, you bastard! How dare you say I'm biased? If it weren't for your elder brother, you would have starved to death over the years. You still want to get married? Dream on."
Old Master Shen was completely furious. He slammed the table and accused the people from the second house, shouting, "If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, get out. Have a good meal. You are all so cunning."
At this point, the old man pointed at Lu Qingshan again, "And you, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't you just want to go back to the city? With your bad work style and no contribution to the brigade, and your work points are even lower than those of the female educated youth, why do you think you can go back to the city? Do you think you're even presentable with your face?"
Shen Jianmin was also worried that the old man would get angry, so he and Xu Xuemei quickly pulled the old man to sit down.
"Dad, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. Besides, I know exactly who I am. I'm not cut out to be a captain. If you say that, then Dad has gone too far. Apologize to Dad right now."
"You are the only one who can be a good person, right? Your first wife is now laughing at our second wife. Do you think that my Chunmiao's marriage is not as good as your Taozi's? And because your Taozi became a chef in a state-owned restaurant, you look down on her? You are a good person here, but you dare to say that you don't want to be the team leader at all?" Shen Jianguo asked, pointing at his eldest brother.
"I really don't want to be the team leader. My brain is not as good as my father's. My father doesn't want to be the team leader because he thinks the job is troublesome. I don't think I can do it." Shen Jianmin said realistically.
Old Master Shen looked at Shen Jianmin with a little more approval. Although his son seemed honest and dull since he was a child, he had one good point: he was very down-to-earth and would not think about things that did not belong to him.
This is much better than the second one.
"Second Brother Shen, I'm going to make this clear today. If you want to be the captain, go and submit your application materials. I will not help you at all. As for the place I recommend, I will definitely not give it to you, brother. So that's it. I don't think there's any need to continue this meal."
Mr. Shen returned to his room angrily and slammed the door shut.
"You too! Why are you so anxious? Can't you just talk to your father slowly this time? You have to bring it up when he's happy. Now you're done, right?"
Wang Lanxiu accused the people from the second house of being a bit disappointed with their achievements, but then she remembered that the people from the first house had not said anything here either.
We still have to eat this meal. After all, there are such a large table of people and such a large table of food. We can't waste it.
But no one spoke for the rest of the time, and the meal was eaten in silence.
"Let's go buy some things for grandpa and make him happy." Huo Beichuan knew that his wife actually cared about grandpa very much, so he took the initiative to suggest.
"Okay! Come to think of it, I've been working for a while now and I haven't really treated him well."
The two of them went straight to the county town without even considering buying anything in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. They planned to buy some new things that the old man had never seen before.
It is indeed much more convenient to have a bicycle, especially after entering the town, the roads become much easier to navigate.
Along the way, Shen Jintao was talking to Huo Beichuan about Grandpa Shen. Thinking of how the old man had broken many bottom lines for her in his previous life, she knew very well that her grandfather really loved her as his granddaughter.
It’s a pity that in my previous life, I devoted all my attention to that scumbag Lu Qingshan and didn’t have much time to accompany the old man.
In this life, she has to follow Huo Beichuan to join the army. Thinking about it, Shen Jintao feels that she is quite sorry for the old man.
"Wife, we just need to do it with a clear conscience. Besides, isn't our grandfather no longer the captain? After we settle down there, we can bring our parents and grandparents over to play with us."
Huo Beichuan comforted.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just think my grandfather's life has been difficult. He has always been worried about this family and the entire brigade. It's good for him to retire now."
The two of them came to the city. To be honest, except for going shopping together on their wedding day, they rarely went out together like this.
Since we're here, it's impossible to just buy gifts for the old man. Wang Lanxiu and the others have also been taken into consideration.
Huo Beichuan was like a possessed man, and would wrap up any skirt that looked even slightly nice for Shen Jintao.
Shen Jintao was frightened by him. If she hadn't gotten angry at the end, Huo Beichuan would have continued to buy.
But at the same time, she also felt it was quite sweet. After all, in that extra memory, even if she wanted to buy a bottle of vanishing cream, Lu Qingshan would have all kinds of reasons for her not to buy it.
For example, if you still have work to do, wouldn’t it be a waste to buy vanishing cream?
For example, we have to think about our future children, so we must save some money. If we save some now, we will buy her everything when we make a lot of money in the future...
