This major incident happened in the team, but fortunately it has been resolved, and production must continue.
It's time to plant rice, and in order to catch the season, we've added another 33 mu of riverbank land. Everyone is very busy every day.
On this day, Zhou Ling and Wang Xiuqin, who were assigned to plant rice seedlings in the same field, unexpectedly met, rolled their eyes at each other, and started competing with each other.
Wang Xiuqin recently received several large packages from her eldest son, Lin Cong, filled with rare toiletries, beef sauce, peach crisps, and other items. She was feeling quite pleased with herself and had originally planned not to go to the fields to work. However, the thought that her son had become successful but no one listened to her made her happily come to the fields.
"Some people are just unlucky. Lin Cong sent me so many things, I can't even finish eating them all, and there are soaps, towels and stuff like that, I probably won't be able to use them all even in my next life!" Wang Xiuqin said deliberately, as if afraid Zhou Ling wouldn't hear her.
Back when Zhou Ling lived with the Lin family, she only ate porridge and pickled vegetables. She never had a decent meal! I never expected that Lin Gou Dan would be so useless, while Lin Cong would be so successful and family-oriented. If I had known, I should have married Lin Cong back then!
Zhou Ling was indignant, but on the surface she pretended to be nonchalant. "What's a little food? Did I send you money? I'll be the principal's wife soon. The principal's monthly salary is fifty-four yuan. He'll be eating meat every day then!"
"Pah! Dream on! That person from Beijing is still lying in the hospital right now, who knows when he'll recover. Even if he does, he wouldn't be interested in some cheap slut. Shameless, trying to make himself look good." Wang Xiuqin spat into the field.
Zhou Ling was no pushover either; she immediately grabbed a lump of mud and threw it at Wang Xiuqin, splashing mud and water all over her face.
And so, the two worked while throwing mud around and occasionally making sarcastic remarks to each other.
Li Yulan, who was planting rice seedlings in the same field, heard them bickering, moved closer to Zhou Ling, and whispered to her, "Isn't Qi Wei's hospitalization a good opportunity to get closer to him?"
After hearing this, Zhou Ling slapped her thigh and grinned slyly. How come she didn't think of that?
She quickly washed her hands and walked towards the edge of the field without saying goodbye to the scorekeeper.
When I got to my own door, I saw a lot of people gathered at Secretary Yu's house not far away.
"Why are you running around watching the show instead of working in the fields?" Zhou Ling thought to herself, and before she knew it, she had walked over.
As she got closer, her pupils dilated in surprise when she saw the people standing in the Yu family's courtyard.
Under the eaves of the Yu family's house, the man whom Secretary Yu was holding hands with had a full forehead, slicked-back hair, wore a woolen overcoat, and shiny leather shoes. He looked like a wealthy man.
Looking behind the man, standing there was Yu Meifeng, smiling ingratiatingly at him. If I'm not mistaken, he should be Yu Meifeng's husband, Huang Ming.
Didn't they say Huang Ming wasn't suited to the countryside and would never go there? He didn't even come back to pay his respects to his parents-in-law during the Lunar New Year.
At this moment, Huang Ming and Yu Guanghui were having a very pleasant conversation.
Huang Ming also took out a can of Longjing tea and handed it to his father-in-law, asking him to brew some tea for him.
Amidst the envious glances of the crowd, Huang Ming stood up and said goodbye to Yu Guanghui: "Dad, I have some things to do, so I won't stay any longer."
"Sit a few more minutes, have some food before you leave. I'll have your mom go weigh some meat right away!" Yu Guanghui naturally tried his best to persuade her to stay.
But Huang Ming was clearly determined to leave. He pulled Yu Meifeng and walked out. As they passed the crowd, he forced a dry laugh as if to say hello to everyone.
Everyone's eyes followed them as the two walked towards Lin Ye's house, and they were all puzzled.
Yu Guanghui flicked his sleeves, his face ashen, and wanted to throw the can of tea away, but in the end he couldn't bear to.
Miao Hongmei couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of situation is this? We haven't even had a chance to sit down before they want to leave. I heard from Meifeng that Lu Wanqing made a cheongsam for him and insisted that he come in person before she would sell it to him. It seems that our reputation as an old couple is not as important as a piece of clothing from Lu Wanqing!"
Hearing Miao Hongmei's words, Yu Guanghui became even angrier and stormed into the house with his hands behind his back.
The others, however, went to Lin Ye's house with the intention of continuing to watch the excitement.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling felt both jealous and resentful towards Lu Wanqing, which strengthened her resolve to take care of Qi Wei.
Yesterday, after Lu Wanqing finished making the cheongsam, she sent a message to Yu Meifeng saying that the dress was finished.
Yu Meifeng naturally rushed over to look at the clothes.
She had thought that now that the clothes were finished, Lu Wanqing would definitely not insist on Huang Ming coming, just for the sake of the remaining twenty yuan.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Wanqing only showed the clothes to her once before putting them away.
"Wanqing, why are you making things difficult for me? Huang Ming doesn't like the countryside, so he definitely won't come. How about I give you a little more money?" Yu Meifeng pleaded in a low voice.
Lu Wanqing remained completely unmoved. "I made the cheongsam because we agreed on it back then. Are you going to go back on your word now?"
Yu Meifeng had no choice but to go to the county town to ask Huang Ming for help.
After listening to her description of the clothes, Huang Ming's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had finally found the perfect item he had been searching for all these days.
His excuses about not being used to rural life were just that—excuses. He simply looked down on Yu Meifeng's parents.
Although Yu Guanghui was a village secretary, which was a minor official position, in his eyes, without money, one was nothing.
Sure enough, he drove over in a borrowed Liberation truck just for a cheongsam.
However, the large Jiefang truck stopped at the village entrance and couldn't drive in, so they had to walk into the village.
As someone who is respectable, he maintained the proper demeanor when meeting his future in-laws for the first time.
There was nothing he could do; he had to pass through the Yu family's house to get to Lu Wanqing's!
At this moment, Huang Ming had already arrived at Lu Wanqing's door and was calling for help!
Lu Wanqing and Zhao Xiaolan were working when they heard the noise and politely invited them in.
Yu Meifeng quickly introduced her: "This is my husband, Huang Ming. He's the factory manager of a garment factory and has a very good relationship with the foreign trade company..."
She went on and on, ostensibly speaking to Lu Wanqing, but actually trying to curry favor with Huang Ming at every turn.
Lu Wanqing glanced at Huang Ming sideways and said bluntly, "If you're satisfied with the clothes, how many pieces are you planning to order?"
Huang Ming clasped his hands together, striking a pose of absolute confidence, and grinned crookedly, "I haven't even seen the sample garment yet, so I can't say for sure!"
"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I'll have to be blunt from the start. Leave the rest of the money, take the clothes, and there's no need to continue discussing the business." Lu Wanqing wasn't annoyed; she simply reached out for the money.
Huang Ming originally thought that doing business with a country woman was beneath him, and he was determined to get her under control this time. However, Lu Wanqing turned the tables on him first.
He reluctantly took out twenty yuan and handed it to her, then said nothing more.
Lu Wanqing said nothing more and handed him the clothes that were wrapped in a ball.
