Chapter 349: Campaign for Workshop Director
"Look at you, people your age already have children who are old enough to help with cooking, but you don't even have a wife."
Liu Cuilan got angry when she saw him. "Even that effeminate Sun Wenbing got married, but you, on the other hand, don't even have a daughter-in-law."
After all, it turns out that Sun Wenbing was getting married, and his mother was upset.
Speaking of this, Su Wenbing became like a saw-mouthed gourd, unable to utter a word of explanation. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a pleading look, as if saying: Sister, help!
Liu Cuilan continued to rant, "You're not bad looking, so why can't you find a wife? No, starting tomorrow I'll find a matchmaker for you. I've never been so embarrassed in front of that crazy woman Zhang Guilan in my entire life."
Seeing her mother's anger growing, Su Xiaoxiao coquettishly took her arm and said, "Mom, even if Sun Wenbing gets married, what good will it do? He doesn't even have a proper job and idles away his time all day. How can he be as down-to-earth as my brother? Besides, my brother said that their workshop is holding an election for workshop director. The factory director values him, and he is on the candidate list. Look at how promising your son is. Maybe tomorrow you will be the director's mother."
At first, Su Wenbing nodded repeatedly as he listened, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
No, he hasn't even signed up yet. How did he become a candidate? And the factory director values him?
What the hell does the factory manager think of him?
Third sister thinks too highly of him.
He subconsciously wanted to explain a few words.
Before he could open his mouth, he met his mother's proud eyes: "Of course, don't you see whose son he is?"
Liu Cuilan glanced at Su Wenbing and found herself liking her son more and more. "Big Boss, you have to work hard. If you win the election, then Mom will be completely proud of herself in our village."
Su Wenbing: “…”
Forget it, I won’t explain it.
His mother was in high spirits right now, and he didn't want to be beaten for pouring cold water on him.
He nodded silently, as best he could.
Liu Cuilan was satisfied. She looked up and saw two little brothers in the main room drooling and staring at the oil-paper bags on the table with disgust on their faces.
"Look at how useless you two are. Go wash your hands quickly before eating."
"That's great, thanks, Mom!"
The two of them jumped down from the stool like monkeys and went to wash their hands.
"Why thank me? These are all brought back by your third sister. Don't just eat them all day long. Remember your third sister's kindness."
Liu Cuilan was now in a much better mood. She looked around but didn't see Su Fusheng. She wondered, "Where's the second brother? Where did he go? It's time for dinner. Why isn't he eating quickly?"
Just as he said this, the gate was pushed open.
Su Fusheng came in carrying a large bundle of firewood.
The two brothers are usually not at home, so on their days off they try their best to help their family chop more firewood from the back mountain.
"Second brother, put the firewood in the west corner and go wash your face. Big brother, keep an eye on the fourth, fifth, and little Shitou. Zhaodi, come with me and cook."
Su Pandi had lived here for a few days and had gradually become familiar with everyone, but he was still a little shy towards his two cousins who were often not at home. He greeted them timidly and hurriedly followed Liu Cuilan into the kitchen to help light the fire.
In the whole family, Su Xiaoxiao is the only idle person.
She moved a stool to sit beside the table and opened the oil paper packages on the table one by one.
The fragrance instantly spread throughout the main room.
When Su Jianwen and Su Jianwu came back from washing their hands, they smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help slurping their saliva.
Su Jianwu scurried to the table and reached out to grab the braised beef.
“Bang!”
Su Wenbing slapped him on the back of his hand without any hesitation.
He said with a fierce face: "Wash your claws first. The black mud between your nails is not washed out. It's so dirty."
"Brother, I've washed it all. Look, isn't it very clean? I don't have to eat my nails."
Su Jianwu pouted and yelled with a look of grievance.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and was shocked. It looked like the hands were washed with a grudge against water. There was no clean place except the palms.
Su Jianwen also echoed: "Brother, if we really wash it, just let us eat it. We are starving to death."
Seeing that the two of them didn't listen at all, Su Wenbing frowned, but he had no choice but to give up because he usually had a good temper. Even though he looked unhappy at this moment, it didn't have any deterrent effect in the eyes of the two naughty kids.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pull out her trump card. She took out a duck neck from her bag and shook it: "Whoever washes it clean gets the duck neck."
When they heard about duck necks, the two little brothers' eyes lit up immediately.
They ate it last time and the taste has always been on their mind.
They immediately rushed to wash their hands, and their attitude was so positive.
Su Wenbing breathed a sigh of relief. His third sister was really capable. Unlike him, she had no deterrent power at all. The two brats had never been afraid of him since they were young.
Little Stone was playing with his toes on the ground nearby, so he didn't have to worry about him.
As soon as he had some free time, he remembered his promise to run for workshop director and felt a little regretful.
He is just an ordinary workshop worker, but he has been awarded the advanced degree several times. Wouldn't it be a joke if he directly ran for election?
One can almost imagine the disdainful looks his colleagues gave him when they heard he was going to run for election.
"Third sister, do you think I can really run for workshop director? What if I don't get elected? How embarrassing! I'm just a workshop worker. I only know how to work and don't know anything else. Otherwise, I'd better just…"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao.
Her elder brother is ready to back out before they even try, which won't work.
"Brother, don't think too hard about anything. How do you know you won't be selected if you don't try?"
Many times, failure in doing things is not due to lack of ability but to thinking too much and doing too little.
If you start to back down just by thinking about it, you will lose all chance of success.
"Can……"
Su Wenbing still has little confidence in himself.
"Brother, do you want to make our mother proud of you? Do you want our family to hold our heads high and live with dignity in the village?"
Su Xiaoxiao tried to arouse the eldest brother's desire to win.
"I do want to..."
Su Wenbing was still a little unsure. He was suddenly forced to run for the position of workshop director, and he felt a little flustered.
"That's right. If we want others to respect us, we have to strive for excellence. Let's start by running for workshop director."
"Brother, besides Mom, you're the most powerful person in our family. You're the backbone of our family and a role model for the four of us siblings. We all hope to succeed with you."
After receiving so many compliments, Su Wenbing felt that he might be able to do something.
While they were talking, Liu Cuilan and two others came out with the food. The two younger brothers also washed their hands and rushed to Su Xiaoxiao and stood in a row.
"Third sister, look, who of us washes better?"
Meeting their sparkling eyes, Su Xiaoxiao pretended to look at them seriously and nodded, "Yeah, both are good."
As they spoke, one of them stuffed a duck neck into his hand, and they both jumped up happily: "Thank you, Third Sister."
…
Today's dinner was a small pot of cabbage stewed with tofu, plus the braised beef and puff pastry that Su Xiaoxiao brought. It was quite rich.
It would be a shame not to have some wine with this dish.
Su Xiaoxiao did it right away. She stood up and said to the others, "Mom, I left something outside. I'll be back soon."
