Chapter 230: Ning County is my base camp
Lu Zhenping asked Lu Jiasheng to make a recliner for him. He lay on it and rocked on the cold day. Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang and the youngest Mingkai would occasionally look at him.
"I think Dad is sad."
"Nonsense, how could Dad be sad when he is such a powerful person? Don't you know not to talk nonsense?"
Mingyang was a little dissatisfied with his brother's nonsense. He raised his hand and tapped Mingliang on the forehead like a little adult.
"Oh, I'm serious, brother, look at yourself, since mom went to work, dad has been staying at home every day and he's not happy at all, he's almost in a trance, Xiaokai is also sloppy with dad, hey, the family can't be without a woman."
Mingyang's face darkened, and just as he was about to retort him, Mingfang said "hey" again, and then the three brothers looked at the only girl in the family at the moment.
"Sister, what are you hesitating about?"
"It's time to cook, dad hasn't moved, I'm hungry."
The three brothers: "........"
I thought they said something meaningful, but it turned out to be about hunger!
"What kind of look are you looking at me with? The most important thing in the world is eating. When mom is at home, not only is every meal prepared for us, but she also makes other delicious food for us in the morning and afternoon. Look at our dad. He was fine before, but he has been unable to do anything in the past two days. As soon as I saw him like that, I knew he was missing his wife."
Everyone has felt this. Before, we thought that dad was great, tall, and omnipotent, but now, he is just a poor man who cannot leave his wife.
"Dad is so pitiful. I will marry a wife in the future. I must not do this. I will make my wife think about me every day."
"I will also make my wife think about me."
Mingyang looked at the useless looks of his two younger brothers and snorted coldly, "I won't marry a wife."
Mingfang rolled his eyes silently. It's a beautiful thought. You have to have a girl like you. You little brat, you are thinking about marrying a wife.
Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed open was heard. Everyone looked at the courtyard gate and saw Shen Meng walking in with a few lunch boxes and a thermos bucket in his hands.
"My God, it's so cold at night, what are you doing sitting in the yard?"
"Thinking about something, is this the meal I brought back?"
Shen Meng handed the meal directly to Lu Zhenping. She had agreed to bring back meals from the state-owned hotel in the morning, and she couldn't always let a grown man cook at home. It's not that she didn't want him to work, but the children looked at her with pitiful eyes these two days. At night, Lu Mingkai kept talking about braised pork in his dreams.
If she waited to go home to cook, it would be too late. It happened that there was an important announcement tonight, and bringing some delicious food could be considered as compensation. Who knew how long she would be away!
"Yes, there are the mutton dumplings that Mingyang has been talking about, the braised pork that Mingyang and Mingkai want to eat, the meat buns that Mingfang likes, and the pork rib soup. Let's eat!"
A total of five or six lunch boxes were placed on the table. The children were already a little hungry, and now they were drooling just by looking at them. The big lunch boxes were also filled with vegetables.
They immediately rushed to the basin rack to wash their hands. Mingkai followed behind his brother and sister and was anxious. He was short and couldn't reach. It was only after Mingyang washed his hands and lifted him up that he touched the water.
"Drink some soup first to warm yourself up."
Lu Zhenping distributed soup to the children and handed each of them a meat bun. After taking a bite, the delicious fragrance filled their mouths instantly.
Shen Meng also picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, but she couldn’t ignore the gaze of the man next to her, so she looked up and said, "Why are you looking at me if I’m not eating?"
"If you have something to say, just tell me. You said in the morning that you would bring food back, but you didn’t say you would bring so much. With such a sumptuous dinner, what you want to talk about must be a big deal.
" Shen Meng: "........"
As expected of Lu Tuan, his brain is so sharp!!!
"Ahem, it's something. Well, the county officials had to go to the provincial capital to get an order for a workshop for head flowers. I know the workshop relatively well, and they wanted me to go with them. I was excited and agreed."
Lu Zhenping looked at her and raised his eyebrows. OK, she's playing the game of acting first and then acting later. No wonder she bought so many good things today. It turns out she was feeling guilty!
“But I heard that the workshop in the village is going to go bankrupt. Why did you make another trip here? My parents came over today. After hearing about the situation here, the old couple were very worried. Although they are also happy that Shenjiaji has built a workshop, which can help the family and the poor people in the village to make more money, they don’t really want you to do it. Firstly, you won’t benefit from it. Secondly, they are afraid that you will work hard but get no thanks. It’s better for you to work steadily and live at home!”
“My parents are here, so what did you say?”
Lu Zhenping chuckled, drank a sip of soup slowly, and then said: “What else can I say? They said that you are selfless and wholeheartedly serve the people!”
Shen Meng: “.......”
Why doesn’t it sound like a compliment, but rather a mockery? ? ?
"Speak nicely, Lu Zhenping. With your position as deputy regiment commander, it is impossible that you have not received any news. There are rumors in Beijing that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. When I passed by the educated youth site, I saw many people reading books. As for the workshop, I met a person from Zhejiang Province at the bus company some time ago. He said that someone there is doing business secretly. He also told me the story of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar. The workshop in Lujia Village will not fail. , I will not only set up workshops in Xiangyang Commune, but also in other communes in the future. By then, the people of the whole Ning County will be tied together, and this rope will be in my hand. Lu Zhenping, I will not always stay in this small place of Ning County, but before I go out, Ning County will be my base camp. "
Lu Zhenping listened to Shen Meng's words. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked. He knew from the moment Shen Meng changed that she was a person with great ambitions.
Of course, he knew about the college entrance examination. Bai Shuyun wrote to him as soon as she got the news, saying that he was still young and it was a good opportunity for him to take the military academy entrance examination to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge in the country's military.
He didn't want to listen to her at all, especially with the current situation of their group, it would be very difficult for him to take the exam, and Bai Shuyun's intention was very obvious that she wanted to use her relationship with her current husband's family to help him.
Before returning to Ning County, he would not even consider it, but now he is actually thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Looking at the ambitious look of his wife, if he had no ambition at all, he would look very stupid. The children were right just now. After Shen Meng went to work, he spent most of his time tidying up the housework, and then taking Mingkai out to play and doing some work.
If I retire from the army, I will be a staff member in a small local government unit. Will I be a drag on Shen Meng?
