Chapter 122: My family's food is for Jiaojiao to eat
Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao stood at the gate of Shen Meng's courtyard for a long time before they came back to their senses. Thinking about what they had just said and done, fortunately they knew in their hearts that the family that could marry the director of the textile factory must not be ordinary people, otherwise if SLR had done something bad just now, it would have offended the most important person in the entire county.
Zhou Jiaojiao picked up the notice on the ground and held it in her hand. She got a quota for textile workers. Shen Meng said nothing, which was obviously wrong. Looking at the attitude of Secretary Li talking to the eldest brother and sister-in-law just now, it was obvious that they were very good at chatting. Judging from this attitude, it is likely that they promised something else.
"Jiaxuan, let's go back. Secretary Li is such an important figure and came to our house, but my elder brother and his wife just said that they didn't tell us. What does this mean? What if we offended them invisibly? They are clearly trying to hide Secretary Li from us. If I were to discover Li Qianqian, my elder sister-in-law was just a picker, but in the end, she owed me more."
"Jiaojiao, you are right. I also think that what my elder brother and his wife did was wrong. Not to mention what we can get if we get to know Secretary Li, the essence of this matter is that they are completely trying to take credit from you. Jiaojiao, we came late, who knows what we said before."
The two of them were originally very happy because of the quota of textile factory workers, but they failed to meet Secretary Li. This huge gap made them lose the ability to think for a while. Anger occupied their reason. They turned around and rushed into Lu Zhenping's house.
The villagers who were watching the excitement said several words to them, but they ignored them and turned back to the yard directly, with a bad look on their faces.
"Well, she is so proud that she knows a big leader that even ordinary people like us look down on her."
"I usually think that Zhou Jiaojiao is too fake. She is good at everything and has no temper. She has become a good person in our Lujia Village. But how can she not have a temper? It seems that she is just pretending."
"Who said it wasn't? Hey, Laizi's wife, don't you often work in the same group with her? You know her well. Tell us about her!"
Laizi's wife rolled her eyes. These people usually love to ridicule her, but now they have changed their gossips to someone else and come to her to ask about who they are. What a bunch of gossips.
"Tell me, what do you want to know? Do you want me to tell you?"
"It's the noon time, instead of gossiping, you might as well go home and cook, coax the children and serve your husband. Get out of here."
"What's wrong with her being so cute? If you are jealous, just say it. Why are you making up stories about her?" Those who
looked down on Zhou Jiaojiao and her supporters started quarreling immediately. The lecherous wife stepped back. She would not get involved in these things. She didn't like Zhou Jiaojiao from the beginning, but at that time, if she said something unpleasant, something bad would be waiting for her. That woman was very evil.
"Oh my God, Old Mrs. Feng, there is bird shit on your head."
The beggar's wife snorted and laughed, picked up the little girl beside her legs, held her in her arms, and turned to go home.
Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping sorted out the big and small bags of things in the house, and put all the expensive things in the closet. When she took out a tin box of biscuits given by Li Chuan, a red envelope suddenly fell out of it. She saw at a glance that it was the money for the ginseng that was given to her before.
"This is from Secretary Li. Why didn't I see him put a red envelope inside? This much money should be enough for a great favor. Besides, the more he asks for, the more he might be criticized. What should he do?"
Lu Zhenping took a look and raised his eyebrows. He saw that Shen Meng was a little cautious and had lost the smartness that he had when he wanted to work in the textile factory.
"It's okay, keep it!"
Shen Meng saw that he said it was okay, so she didn't care and put it directly in her pocket. Then she opened the iron box of biscuits. She took a look and saw that the biscuits had a fragrant milky smell, which smelled like cookies.
"Mingyang, bring your brothers and sisters over here. Take this box of biscuits to fill your stomach. Mom will go cook right away. It won't be long before you go to school. And the guests have brought a lot of meat. Let's have shredded pork noodles for lunch!"
Mingyang and Mingliang and a few others gathered around them. They had been looking at the gifts that the guests brought today, including canned food, biscuits, peach cakes, egg cakes, milk powder, meat, grains, and lots of cakes and candies. They were drooling.
"Mom, this looks expensive, are you really going to eat it?"
"Mom has already opened it, so why can't you eat it? Eat it, Zhenping, mix some orange powder for them, give each of them a little to drink with it."
Lu Zhenping nodded, but walked to the iron box of biscuits first, took out a heart-shaped biscuit from the middle, and stuffed it to Shen Meng's lips. The latter looked at it and ate it. These things were brought by Secretary Li and Director Hu. They were good things. If I don't give them to the children and my wife, who else can I give them to?
Mingliang saw that his mother had eaten it, so what was he waiting for? He picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. The mellow milky aroma filled his mouth, and it was so delicious.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan rushed into the main room and were extremely surprised to see the children eating biscuits from the iron box, especially Lu Jiaxuan. He was still a temporary worker in the commune. Just now, when he saw the table full of gifts, he was thinking of borrowing the biscuits from the iron box to give as gifts. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, his eldest brother had given them to the children to eat. As a grown man who had been serving in the army for many years, he didn't know about many interpersonal relationships. Lu Jiaxuan sighed.
"Brother, how could you open such a good thing so easily? You know that there are several mooncakes in this iron box, which are more expensive than meat. It would be very impressive if you gave it as a gift. I was thinking of borrowing it from you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient and eat it directly."
"Didn't I send you a box? You were thinking of borrowing mine, but what about yours? Are you going to feed it to mice?"
Lu Jiaxuan's face turned red, but he still said with his neck stiff, "Mine must be given to Jiaojiao, and mom. Jiaojiao is carrying a child, and mom is old, shouldn't they eat something better?"
Lu Zhenping put the orange juice in his hand heavily on the table, scaring Lu Mingkai so much that he choked and stretched his neck to gasp. He quickly slapped Lu Mingkai on the back, and the little guy's eyes were filled with tears as he drank the orange juice in big gulps.
"Your children are spoiled, but our children are not. I have already eaten the biscuits, so I can't lend them to you."
Before Lu Jiaxuan could say anything else, Zhou Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled her. Although she was very touched that her man always thought of her in everything he did, it was obviously not the time to talk about this.
"Brother, Jiaxuan and I came here to ask you and sister-in-law, is that Secretary Li the county official Li Chuan?"
