Chapter 193: Isn't it too hasty to just make a decision like this?
Hu Biao paused with his chopsticks in his hand, looked at Li Qianqian cautiously, then looked at his father-in-law and parents. It was hard to say corny words, but he still hurried to beg for mercy.
"Qianqian, good Qianqian, I'm not heartbroken. I'm really disappointed in my mother for doing such an excessive thing. It's just that she is old after all. When she just came in, I saw her swaying a little, and I was afraid that she would faint at the door. My parents are respectable people. If someone with ulterior motives saw it, she would be covered in stink."
"Hmph, you know what's best for you. Promise, eat more. You've been tired and thin taking care of the children and me these two days."
"Hehe, thank you, wife."
Qi Mingyue and Secretary Li looked at the young couple and shook their heads. Qianqian was still like a half-grown child. Fortunately, Hu Biao was more mature and tolerant of her. If it were a male chauvinist, he would have thrown his chopsticks and smashed the bowl after listening to what his daughter said.
"Xiao Meng, Zhenping, I made fun of you. Don't mind. These two kids can't grow up the same. We really can't do anything about them. You eat vegetables, eat vegetables, eat more. And Mingyang, you kids, don't be polite, eat more!"
"Thank you, auntie."
"Auntie's meatballs are so delicious!"
"Don't call me auntie, don't call me auntie, you should call me auntie, I look the same age, auntie is so beautiful." Mingkai is the youngest, but he is also very sharp-tongued. Such a sentence is extremely lethal, and Qi Mingyue almost lost his mind when he told him.
"The fish soup made by auntie is so delicious, even better than my mother's!" Mingliang said and took a big sip, which made Qi Mingyue very happy. He picked up the soup spoon and served him another bowl.
"If you like to drink, drink more. Oh, Xiao Meng, how did you raise these children? They are so lovely and sweet-mouthed. I really like them."
Shen Meng smiled and looked at Li Qianqian, taking the opportunity to repeat what he had just said in the room. This time, Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan both sighed.
How could they not know about this? They have also been working hard for the people's livelihood in Ning County over the years, but Ning County is a big county. Although there are several factories supporting economic development, it is still very backward compared to other cities.
But the situation seems to have improved a lot in the past two years. The country has increased its efforts in creating foreign exchange. He is also trying to get a place in the summer trade fair. If he can have a place, even if he just displays Ning County's products, their Ning County will be different in the future. At least when others mention it, they will no longer say it is a poor county.
"Secretary Li, Director Qi, I didn't mean to cause trouble to ruin the atmosphere. Just now in Qianqian's room, I heard that you wanted to bring some specialties of Ning County to the summer fair, so I was just wondering, what do we have in Ning County, cloth from textile factories, towel quilts from towel factories, or some peach cakes or canned foods from non-staple food factories, or some handmade woven products from the people?"
Director Li was originally listening to Shen Meng talking and eating, but gradually put down his chopsticks and began to look at her seriously.
"Our Ning County is a big county with a large population. It is considered a poor county by many big cities. However, there are so many poor counties like ours across the country. Towels, peach cakes, candies, and hand-woven fabrics, can't many rural areas make them? Secretary Li, let me say that even if you successfully participate in the exhibition, can the things you bring win the favor of foreigners?"
Lu Zhenping also took over the conversation at this time. He had met foreign soldiers when he was in the army. To be honest, they were very arrogant and powerless, but most foreigners had one advantage: as long as you defeat them, they will admire you wholeheartedly.
"Xiao Meng is right. I have received foreign soldiers in Heping before. They are strong and use advanced weapons. In the military roadshow between the two armies, they are indeed far ahead of us, but our soldiers are not vegetarians. With the virtue of not giving up, we have defeated them several times. I have also heard a lot from them about their love for our country and many old items in our country. So Secretary Li, if you really want to bring Ningxian's specialties to the exhibition, you still have to think about it."
"Hiss~ Xiao Meng and Zhenping, do you have any ideas? Otherwise you wouldn't have raised this question, right?"
Shen Meng's face lit up, she was waiting for these words. She glanced at Lu Zhenping, then walked to the sofa, picked up the bag on it, took out five hair flowers and five hairpins, and two handkerchiefs from her pocket, and placed them in front of Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue.
Li Chuan was so smart. He knew that the couple were singing the same tune, probably waiting for him to ask this question. He pointed at Shen Meng and Zhen Ping with a smile, shook his head and said, "Look, look, you said so much, but it turns out you were waiting for me here. Haha, an old guy like me really got beaten to death on the beach by you young people."
After he finished joking, he picked up the hairpins and bracelets in front of him and looked at them carefully. He had to say that they were very exquisite, with fine stitching and beautiful patterns. They were indeed good.
"Will this work?"
Shen Meng shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I don't have that much fabric at home. I just have some in stock and asked someone to make some. But if there were some high-end good fabrics, I would definitely be able to make more patterns. I don't need a whole piece of fabric, just scraps of fabric will do. These needleworks can be done by women in the countryside. If they can be organized, their power cannot be underestimated. As long as these things can appear at the trade fair, our Ningxian hairpins and handkerchiefs will become famous. Secretary Li, even if we can't create foreign words at the trade fair, we can still Yes, I believe you must have a way to put these things in the friendship stores or supply and marketing cooperatives in the provincial capital, or even in the capital. In this way, we ordinary people will have more income. We can think about other livelihoods in the future. Sooner or later, our Ning County will be able to get rid of the label of a poor county. "
Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue were stunned by Shen Meng's flattery. Hu Biao over there was already so excited that he couldn't control himself. Speaking of cloth scraps, their textile factory has a lot of them, especially there are some unsold stocks in the warehouse. If they can be used, it will be another income for the textile factory.
The most important thing is that if the father-in-law's worries can be solved, then his parents can also reduce some of their sins, and he doesn't have to bear such a heavy psychological burden. It's a win-win situation!
"Well...well, the textile factory can provide some cloth."
Shen Meng took the opportunity to slap the table and said, "Hey, then it's settled, Director Xiao Hu. I'll find you when I need cloth. But don't worry, this matter is the textile factory's. Our commune is affiliated with your factory. The common people earn some labor fees, but the bulk of the money still goes to your textile factory. But I think Qianqian is the most suitable person in charge. Let her be the liaison. The salary and benefits can't be reduced, otherwise Qianqian will be too busy."
Li Qianqian: "......."
Hu Biao: "........."
Li Chuan/Qi Mingyue: "......."
Is this confirmed? Isn't it too hasty, dear! ! !
