Chapter 344: Proud
"Xiao Fu, why did you take off your clothes? It's so cold, don't take it lightly just because you're in good shape. Put them on quickly!"
"If you get sick later, you will suffer more!"
Everyone was shocked, just as Tang Mei came out of the house carrying a military coat, muttering to herself.
Tang Mei's appearance says it all.
But someone still asked in disbelief:
"Xiaobao's aunt, this, this belongs to your little girl..."
The person asking the question didn't finish.
How could Tang Mei not understand?
There were so many people standing by the door, and they were all gossips from the alley.
Tang Mei knew at a glance that these people definitely had no good intentions.
"Yes, this is Xiaobao's partner, our son-in-law."
The kindness on her face faded a little, and Tang Mei was smiling but not really smiling.
Without anyone asking her any further questions, she raised her voice and started talking openly and clearly.
"Xiao Fu is a good guy. He works in a county unit and is the leader of a technical team. He earns 40 to 50 yuan a month. He's quite capable!"
A bunch of old stuff!
In the past, they loved to talk about how their little treasure was always hanging around the boy from the Xie family.
Now you come here again to inquire about news and gossip!
What the hell?
Do you want to see his little girl marry badly and gossip about her?
I'm so jealous of you!
Tang Mei continued to laugh, opened the courtyard door, pointed to the long row of bacon drying under the eaves, and said:
"He's also a considerate and sensible child. Look, whenever there's something good back home, he wants to honor us. My little treasure, you'll be blessed in the future!"
“…”
Don’t even mention that the previous sentence “a salary of forty or fifty yuan” is enviable.
Even the meat under the Lu family's roof is eye-catching enough.
A group of old ladies didn't get to eat the melon, and were shown off by Tang Mei. They felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.
"Haha, I think he's a pretty energetic and good young man. I didn't expect him to be so promising at such a young age."
Someone laughed dryly and said:
"Comrade Tang Mei, you and Principal Lu will be blessed in the future!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Tang Mei laughed without any joy or anger, and took a few steps forward like a peacock that had won a battle.
Taking the shovel from Fu Jingyou's hand and handing him the military coat, Tang Mei said meaningfully:
"Just shovel this much. It's okay as long as it doesn't fall on our family. Those troublemakers outside deserve it if they fall. Come inside and eat."
Fu Jingyou looked at Tang Mei intently, nodded, put on his clothes and went into the yard.
How could those people blocking the Lu family's door not hear Tang Mei's sarcastic tone?
Everyone was so angry. Thinking about the meat hanging in the Lu family's yard, they felt greedy and envious. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became!
Is there any justice in the world?
How come all the good things are taken by the Lu family!
Tang Mei locked the gate, looking quite pleased with herself:
"We've run into such bad luck so early in the morning. I'm afraid they'll be mad for the whole day!"
Fu Jingyou has some concerns:
"We're all neighbors, is this okay?"
"You, this is your first time coming here and you don't know the situation here."
Tang Mei paused, looked at him, and sighed:
"Those are not good people. They are happy if anyone's family is worse off than theirs."
"Xiaobao is a spoiled child. They never gossiped about him in the past."
These people were wary of Lu Yuanzheng and only dared to talk about him behind his back.
Tang Mei had heard some news before and had cursed a few times at the entrance of the alley, so she had become more obedient.
I didn't expect it to come again today.
Fu Jingyou is extremely hypocritical. He was originally worried that the snow at the door would melt and turn into ice, and it would be bad if any pedestrian fell at the door.
Now that it involves my daughter-in-law, that’s a different matter.
"Then leave them alone."
Fu Jingyou frowned and spoke stiffly.
The two of them formed a united front. Tang Mei looked at her son-in-law in front of her and smiled approvingly.
I used to think that Fu Jingyou was not good in every way.
His mood is different now. Tang Mei is satisfied with everything he does.
She wants to be tall and look energetic.
People still have abilities.
The key is that not only does he love his little baby, but he also brings honor to the Lu family!
Isn’t it hard to find such a good guy even with a lantern?
"Okay, come inside!"
Tang Mei lifted the door curtain and said with a smile:
"I cut some bacon and cooked the dough. I don't know if it's done right. You can try it."
"Um."
Yesterday, Tang Mei didn't ask too many questions because she was concerned that Fu Jingyou had come all the way here. She wanted him to have a good rest.
Now it seemed that Fu Jingyou had almost rested. At the dinner table, Tang Mei asked about Lu Miao and the children's recent situation.
Such as how is Lu Miao's health now, whether the child is making trouble, whether the second baby has grown stronger, etc.
Fu Jingyou answered each question truthfully, then looked around the main hall and asked:
"Where's Dad?"
From the time he entered the house last night until now, Fu Jingyou has not seen the shadow of his father-in-law.
The main reason he came here this time was to confirm the situation of the Lu family.
How can he confirm it when the victim’s father-in-law is not here?
"Everything is fine, but you don't know the situation here."
Tang Mei sat down and ate with him.
"Many schools in northern Beijing have been empty for quite some time. The doors, walls, and windows are all in such a state of disrepair that many need to be demolished and rebuilt."
"Your dad is both the principal and a worker. He has to keep watch and work every day. He's so busy that he hasn't been home for a while."
While eating the noodles, Tang Mei picked up a piece of bacon.
"Don't worry, I called him this morning and he'll probably be back tonight."
"good."
Fu Jingyou nodded and frowned.
"Eat the noodles quickly, or they will all get clumped up."
Tang Mei chewed the meat and said with a smile.
The lean meat on the bacon was chewy, and the fat was fragrant and elastic. As she chewed it, a salty aroma with a unique meaty flavor bounced on her tongue. Before she could swallow a piece of bacon, Tang Mei's mouth was full of saliva.
"Hey, Xiao Fu, this bacon you brought is delicious!"
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll make more next year."
"Oh, kid, this year hasn't even officially started yet, and you're already talking about last year, haha."
It is already the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is only a few days away from the Little New Year and the Chinese New Year.
Later, there was still some work to do, and the house had to be cleaned. Lu Yuanzheng was usually busy, so he couldn't help at home, so Tang Mei was the only one cleaning.
When Fu Jingyou was there, Tang Mei called him to go to the department store on Qianmen Street to buy New Year's goods.
After getting on the bus and shaking for more than ten minutes, the bus turned at an intersection. Fu Jingyou saw something and suddenly straightened up seriously, turning his head and eyes back to stare at that place.
Amidst the clusters of military green and blue figures, through the black heads of pedestrians, the towering red walls and the tower-like buildings above the red walls come into view.
Also catching the eye are the large portraits of great men that are hung in the living rooms and halls of many households in the village.
