Chapter 301: Mother is a high-ranking official
In Lu Changzhu's opinion, as a father-in-law, Shen Meng, as a daughter-in-law, must help him fulfill any request he makes, just like the full moon banquet for the child of the fourth son last time.
Although the money spent was a bit high, the whole banquet was very good. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, grain and oil cost about three or four hundred yuan in total.
Although it was painful to spend money, it was very face-saving. Although the family's savings were a bit empty, the youngest son and his wife worked in the commune and the textile factory respectively. The second son's family had one farmer and one worker in the textile factory. The eldest son and his wife had one soldier and one factory director. The third son's family also lived very well.
With such a small family, if they did a little worse, others would laugh at them.
Not to mention the surrounding area, even in the whole Ning County, no family is as prosperous as theirs.
As the head of the family, that day was the proudest moment for him in all those years.
So he took advantage of a little bit of wine and asked the eldest son's wife to help the fourth son's family get a job in front of so many people. In his opinion, the hair flower factory should buy fabrics from the textile factory, which will increase the income of the textile factory. Shen Meng is the second in command of the hair flower factory, a position, and it is just a matter of talking.
Who knew that almost two months had passed and there was no news at all. How could he not be angry?
"When you said that, why didn't you think about it? Zhou Jiaojiao has only been working for more than a month, and she is about to change jobs. Even a fool would know that she got it through the back door. If no one reported it, it would be fine. As long as someone is serious, then it will be true. No one can escape. Are you dissatisfied with your current life or what, or do you think I am not busy enough and want the people above to investigate me?"
Lu Changzhu's face was red after being scolded by Shen Meng.
"How is this possible? Who dares......"
"Why not? Everyone has a stable job. Anonymous reporting doesn't hurt you. If nothing is found, you don't have to worry. It will just cause trouble for you. But if something is found, everyone will blame you. No matter how glorious you are now, you will be in trouble in the future. Dad, now that you are in my position, you must be more careful in what you say and do. Otherwise, if you get angry, "If a mad dog with a dazed look finds fault with me, it will be a real trouble that even a handsome man cannot get rid of. I am very careful with what I say now, but you are so good that you are eager to give others something to hold against you. I don't know if you are hoping that something bad will happen to me."
Lu Changzhu was very scared. He had been flattered for half a year and he was so lost that he almost lost his way. If he was not pulled down, Shen Meng was worried that he would be floating in the sky for too long and his soul would be taken away by someone.
"If you are bored, go to work. You can also build up a good reputation for us young people. People will praise you later. Look at the Lu family. All the sons and daughters-in-law are capable. Of course, Lu Jiahe is excluded. The head of the Lu family still works. He is so hardworking and diligent. It is really admirable. You take the lead in working. The more you do, the better. You will see that everyone in our village will learn from you."
Shen Meng talked to Lu Changzhu for a while. Seeing that his eyes were a little hazy, he knew that he had taken it to heart and was probably imagining those scenes in his mind.
After a long while, Lu Changzhu nodded.
"You're right, old family, let's put aside the matter of the fourth daughter-in-law for now, go home and cook, I'll think about it carefully."
Shen Meng glanced at him, turned around and walked towards home.
Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang led Mingkai towards home, and when they were at the door, Mingliang suddenly grabbed them.
"Brother, brother, our mother has made delicious food, smell it."
"It smells so good, it's hot pot, mother loves us, last time I heard that hot pot is not easy to make, but she remembered it in her heart after we mentioned it once, mother is so kind."
"I want to eat, go home quickly, mother must have made me a small cake and delicious fruit tea, wow~"
Mingfang also swallowed her saliva, this hot pot was so fragrant, she couldn't help it.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
After the children entered the house, they locked the remote door directly, for fear that someone would knock on the door.
Shen Meng had just taken out a big bowl of beef from the space when the door was pushed open, and she was almost caught.
"You're back, take a look at the hot pot that mom made for you. The vegetables and meat are ready. You can add the seasoning yourself. If you want spicy, have spicy, if you want light, have light."
"Mom, do you have my fruit tea? I want to drink sour and sweet fruit tea."
"And small cakes."
"Small crispy pork and brown sugar rice cake."
"Mom, I also want to eat spicy chicken feet."
Shen Meng hung their schoolbags on the wall and raised his chin to signal them.
"Look, everything is ready over there. The drinks you want to drink are poured into your teacups. Mingyang, turn up the coal stove a little. We can eat once the pot is boiled. I put some old tofu in the bottom of the pot. It's very mushy. You can eat some to fill your stomach first."
"Okay, mom. You are so busy every day. You don't have to prepare so much food for us at night. It's too much trouble."
Shen Meng rubbed Mingyang's hair. This child is the most sensible. After Lu Zhenping left, she had to go to work, leaving early and returning late every day. He took care of the younger brothers and sisters, so she didn't have to worry too much.
"It's not a trouble. Mom ate some when she was in the county. You eat first, and I'll cook some dishes for you."
Mingliang swallowed a piece of tofu with great difficulty and looked at Shen Meng with a smile.
"Mom, is there some good news? How come we have eaten in the county town?"
"Well, there is something. Mom may go to the county government to be an official. Your grandma Qi asked to take you to her house for dinner. Can our family go there together tomorrow?"
"Really, Mom? An official? How high an official?"
"It's a very high official, but I have to talk to your grandpa Li about some things. We will go to the county town once it's confirmed. Mom thought that after you graduate from elementary school, our family will move to the county town, okay?"
"Well, wherever mom goes, we will go. As long as we are with mom, anywhere is fine."
After hearing his brother's words, Mingliang also quickly expressed his determination.
"Yes, yes, home is where mom is. Where mom goes, we'll be there."
Mingfang and Mingkai also came to Shen Meng to talk to her and coax her.
When Yu Shirley got home, Wang Lianhua had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to come home for dinner with a few children in the main room. However, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Daya and Xiaoya were a bit timid.
When the two children saw her, they stood up and rushed towards her.
"Mom, you're back."
"Mom, I miss you so much, oooooo, I miss you so much."
Yu Shirley saw that the two children were in a strange mood, and quickly comforted them, then looked up at Wang Lianhua.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Wang Lianhua opened her mouth and said after a while: "Today your parents came and almost took Xiaoya away. Fortunately, I came back in time. Xiaoya was very scared all afternoon and was looking forward to your return!"
