Chapter 112 I'm going to crash into this place and die.
Bai Lu was about to answer when Hao Yan interrupted him, saying, "Comrade Meng, this meal is on you."
Meng Shigang nodded repeatedly, Bai Lu was even more beautiful than Hao Yan had described.
He'd be willing to treat us to a hundred meals, let alone just one.
Meng Shigang stared at Bai Lu from the side, never getting enough of looking at her.
Bai Lu was speechless. Originally, she and her best friend were complaining about Shen Wanjun together, but now a man suddenly came in.
She was in no mood for anything: "Hao Yan, you guys take your time eating, I'm leaving now."
Hao Yan gave Meng Shigang a wink, and Meng Shigang took the initiative to chase after her, saying, "Comrade Bai, it's getting dark, let me take you home."
Bai Lu: "No need."
Meng Shigang seemed not to hear her and followed her at a distance.
Many people on the street watched the two and whispered among themselves.
Bai Lu couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to ask, "Why are you following me?"
Meng Shigang scratched his head and mustered his courage to ask, "Comrade Bai, what do you think of me?"
"How is it?"
"If you have no problem with that, we'll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
"Get a marriage certificate?!" Bai Lu exclaimed in shock. "Who wants to get a marriage certificate with you?"
Meng Shigang frowned: "We've already gone on blind dates and had meals together. If you don't object, isn't the next step to get the marriage certificate?"
"What blind date?"
Bai Lu was completely confused, but she patiently asked Meng Shigang. After some questioning, Bai Lu realized that she had been betrayed by Hao Yan.
The invitations to dinner and whispered conversations were just pretexts; their real purpose was to arrange a blind date for her with Meng Shigang.
"Here's your 50 cents for the meal. Don't bother me again."
Bai Lu stormed off, thinking, "Hao Yan dares to mess with me? You just wait!"
Meng Shigang told Hao Yan what had just happened, and Hao Yan comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, I'll find another opportunity to bring you two together next time."
"But Comrade Bai didn't take a liking to me."
"Women are all shy, so you should get to know each other better and you'll develop feelings for each other over time."
Meng Shigang nodded thoughtfully.
When Hao Yan returned home, she saw Hao Mei with a dark expression.
"Sis, have you eaten? I packed some braised pork for you."
Hao Mei: "I'm asking you, who told you to introduce Bai Lu to someone?"
"I'm doing this for her own good."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"Just pretend you don't know if you do."
Hao Mei: ...
Hao Yan wants Bai Lu to get married soon.
Getting married means having children, having children means taking leave, and then the teacher's position will definitely become vacant.
She orchestrated a grand scheme for Wang Ming.
Hao Mei sneered: "There are so many people eyeing the positions of school teachers."
Even if Bai Lu really takes a leave of absence, Wang Ming might not get that position.

Huang Ya and Song Zhan spent the afternoon in the kitchen making a large pot of braised meat.
"Wife, come and try it."
"Juan'er, you eat too."
Shen Wanjun ate a large piece, squinted her eyes and said, "Delicious, really delicious."
"Quick, fill a bowl, I'll take it to Sister Hong."
"Sister-in-law, I'll go." Song Juan grabbed the bowl and ran out the door quickly.
When she returned, she didn't look well.
"Sister-in-law, Old Lady Cui is coming this way."
Is she alone?
"No, there's also Liu San and those three girls."
Song Zhan ran out and closed the door, then thought for a moment and propped it up with a thick piece of wood.
Huang Ya drew the curtains, leaving only a small lamp in the living room.
"Never mind them, let's eat."
Shen Wanjun held up a large bone: "The seven days are up, and they're getting anxious."
"Juan'er, don't give in."
Song Juan nodded and looked at Huang Ya: "Dr. Huang, your work... it's all my fault."
Huang Ya said nonchalantly, "It's just work. If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will."
"Besides, I'm exhausted every day, and I've been wanting to take a break lately."
Song Juan was a little skeptical. She thought that Huang Ya, who was so passionate about his work, would definitely go crazy if he had too much free time.
"I did woodworking with my brother Song Zhan, and it was so much fun."
He nudged Song Zhan and said, "Battalion Commander Song, don't you think so?"
Song Zhan replied impatiently, "Yes, yes, yes."
It's a hammer.
He could normally manage things like sitting in a rocking chair or a crib all by himself.
Having Huang Ya's help did make things faster, but it also stole his thunder and credit.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The four ignored him and continued chatting and laughing, happily eating meat.
Huang Ya and Song Zhan also braised a lot of dishes.
"These potatoes are delicious, and the green beans are good too."
Shen Wanjun couldn't stop eating, and Song Zhan proudly said, "If it's so delicious, eat more."
Grandma Cui banged on the door for a long time, but no one paid any attention to them.
Zhao Di said, "Grandma, they might not be home. Let's go back; it's too cold."
"Yes, I just saw Song Juan."
"Keep banging on the door, I don't believe they won't open it."
As it turned out, Shen Wanjun and Song Zhan really didn't open the door.
A large bowl of meat, half of which has already been eaten.
Shen Wanjun touched her stomach and said, "I think I ate too much."
Huang Ya said to Song Juan, "You should massage your sister-in-law's stomach tonight."
"Also, I'll teach you the techniques for promoting lactation, your sister-in-law will need them in the future."
Huang Ya spoke earnestly, but the others listened with flushed faces.
Song Juan stammered, "Let...let me help my sister-in-law...promote lactation?"
"Otherwise what?" Huang Ya said, "You're both women, and you're my sister-in-law, so it couldn't be more perfect."
Song Zhan coughed and said, "You can teach me."
Huang Ya and Song Juan were both stunned. Hmm... that seems plausible too.
Huang Ya brought over a steamed bun and explained the acupoints and techniques to the two of them.
Shen Wanjun stood to the side, looking on with obvious embarrassment.
The thought of being stripped naked and placed on an operating table when she gives birth makes her want to die.
"Song Juan, don't hide inside and not come out."
"It's such a trivial matter, why do you have to make a scene at the police station? You're not leaving any way for us widows and orphans to survive."
"Everyone come and see, a country girl is about to turn the world upside down."
When no one answered her knocking, Old Lady Cui began to curse loudly.
Frustrated, Liu San kicked the door repeatedly, but it remained unmoved, as solid as a rock.
Zhao Di, along with her two younger sisters, cried out in a shrill voice.
Amid the commotion, there were also Du Meiling's screams and the barking of the police dog, Baboon.
The compound was incredibly lively tonight.
Everyone was getting a headache from the noise, and Political Commissar Hao came over to persuade them: "You should all go back first, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow we're going to jail."
"I'm not leaving until they open the door today."
Grandma Cui sat down on the ground, clapped her hands, and started wailing again.
After calling for a long time, my throat became hoarse and uncomfortable.
The ground was too cold, and she couldn't stand it, so she stood up and started cursing again.
Hao Mei and Zhou Lan stood aside, watching the family make a scene.
They don't plan to get involved unless someone dies.
Hao Mei finally understood that Old Lady Cui was someone who responded to force but not to gentleness.
The more she tried to persuade her, the more excited Old Lady Cui became, and the more she made a scene.
Grandma Cui and Liu San argued for over an hour, but the door remained closed, and they didn't even catch a glimpse of Song Juan.
Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, Old Lady Cui suddenly shouted, "Song Juan, if you don't come out, I'll kill myself here!"
"Even when I die, I'll haunt you as a ghost! You wicked devil!"
After saying that, she stuck her head in her hand and banged it against the door.
