After Captain Lu asked this question, he fell completely silent.
Lu Zhiye didn't know what to say for a moment.
Captain Lu is not even sixty years old, which means he is still strong in the eyes of everyone.
Asking him to step down suddenly is unbearable for anyone.
The house was silent, but laughter could be faintly heard from the kitchen.
Captain Lu placed the enamel cup on the table with a crisp sound: "I have also thought about this question.
But at least it has not been like this in the past two years. Someone has to take responsibility for some things.
Once Dachuan has been stable for another two years, I will hand over the job to him."
Now the cadre positions in the brigade are all appointed by the commune.
However, the commune will also seek the opinions of the brigade members and take the form of voting.
For so many years, Lu Chuan has always been kept by Captain Lu, and everything he does has been watched by the villagers.
He has the aura of Captain Lu when he was young, and many young people are quite convinced by Lu Chuan.
Therefore, there is no doubt that he will take the position of captain.
With the passing of the leader, Beijing was in turmoil. Captain Lu's intuition told him that there would definitely be major reforms in the future.
It would be fine if it was good, but with this achievement, Lu Chuan can sit in this position more firmly.
But what if it is a sudden change? It is not something that just one person can take responsibility for.
Lu Zhiye also understood what he meant and felt helpless.
As parents, no matter what happens, we always want to stand at the front and protect our children from wind and rain.
Captain Lu is no exception. From another perspective, after serving as captain for so many years, Captain Lu is really afraid that no one dares to shoulder the responsibility of the team.
The two chatted in the room for a long time, and a domineering and strong aroma slowly drifted over.
The neighbors next to Captain Lu all leaned over the wall to look and asked, "Mr. Lu, what kind of meat did you cook? It smells so good."
Captain Lu's wife took a piece of cloth, patted her apron, and slowly walked out of the kitchen: "Our Dayong said that the factory gave him benefits.
I still had a lot of meat coupons, so I asked someone to buy two kilograms of pork.
They said the family should have a good reunion, so I made pickled pork. "
The aunt slurped her saliva and raised her voice, "This is such a waste, we will divide the meat tomorrow.
You even took the meat slices and money to the meat processing factory to buy them. Wow, your family is really extravagant."
The neighbor's words made Captain Lu's wife's face turn cold instantly.
But before Captain Lu’s wife could say anything, Sun Meiying came out of the house and said, “Aunt, it’s funny what you said.
What's luxurious or not? As a son, he receives salary and benefits and wants to honor his elders.
Isn't this as it should be? If I remember correctly, auntie, your daughter-in-law also works in the food factory, right?
What? Didn’t she share the benefits from the factory with you guys? "
A series of questions made the aunt so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
Captain Lu's wife looked at her daughter-in-law with satisfaction, thinking that she had been trained well after so many years.
The aunt jumped down from the wall angrily and happened to meet a woman walking in from outside.
The woman happily took the two-foot cloth and said, "Mom, this is the employee welfare distributed by the food factory this year. I brought two feet of cloth specially for you."
Looking at the pitiful two feet of defective cloth, the aunt was furious and said in an unpleasant voice: "Is this the only benefit you gave us?
I heard that I was given meat tickets, so what? Your father and I are only worthy of these two feet of cloth?"
These words made the woman's face turn pale and blue.
He whispered, "I was thinking about dividing the meat tomorrow.
These meat coupons will be saved for use after the New Year. In order to build a house, Liu Da also went to repair the river dam this year.
I want to save up some meat coupons so that I can give him some nourishment when the time comes."
What she said made sense, and now it was Sun Meiying's turn to lie on the wall and watch.
She grinned and said, "Big Liu, your man's health is not as important as your mother-in-law's craving for food.
Be careful or she’ll turn around and scold you for being unfilial…”
Big Liu's mother was so angry that her face turned red. She took off her shoes and threw them at Sun Meiying.
Sun Meiying jumped down the ladder quickly and clapped her hands together. The loud noise naturally reached Da Liu Niang's ears.
Her eyes were filled with anger, and even more infuriating things were yet to come.
Da Liu's wife took out the meat coupons from her pocket and said pitifully, "Then I won't give Da Liu any more food to replenish his body. I'll use the meat coupons to satisfy my craving. Mom, please stop scolding me..."
The commotion here just now naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
Many young wives immediately started to curse: "How can a mother be so rude if she doesn't even know how to love her own son?"
"That's right, Liu is going out to build a new house, and it would be fine if his parents didn't give him any support.
You're still thinking about using other people's meat coupons to supplement your body. I'm in the same shift as Da Liu's wife, and she lives frugally every day. Why is that?"
"Who says he isn't? Logically speaking, Da Liu is considered a skilled worker in the brigade.
Liu's wife also has a decent job, so the family shouldn't have to live like this.
Now I understand, it turns out that there is a greedy mother-in-law who doesn’t manage the household.”
Those who said this were all young wives in the village. They were talking to each other and were simply trampling on the face of Big Liu Niang.
But everything she said made sense. Liu's wife wiped her tears and looked at her mother-in-law with a smile on her face.
Da Liu's mother was so angry that she fell backwards. Finally, after being scolded by Da Liu's father, she ran back into the house in shame.
Captain Lu's wife felt relieved, but then she asked with some concern: "Are we going too far by doing this?
After all, we are from the same village, we are neighbors, we will see each other every day."
Sun Meiying felt that her mother-in-law had become more cautious as she grew older, and her former decisiveness was rarely seen.
She patted Captain Lu's wife's hand comfortingly and said, "She doesn't think it's too much, so why should we think it's too much?
The word "luxury" came out of her mouth, which showed that she had obviously learned a few words from the educated youth.
If this hat were put on our heads, my father would be arrested by the commune and interrogated.
She doesn't think about the consequences of anything she does, so why should we think so much?
Besides, Liu Da's wife is not someone who will allow herself to be bullied. Just look at how much trouble she has caused just now.
Mom, don't worry about this anymore, just put the pancakes in the pot quickly."
