Chapter 360: Going to Beijing
"Mom, what are you looking at? Come and wash my feet, mom is talking to you!" Lu Yaya sat on the kang and called Zhou Jiaojiao impatiently.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up for me."
Lu Yaya and Lu Qiancheng were shocked. Zhou Jiaojiao had never treated them like this before. She was always very gentle. Even when they were naughty or disliked her, she still didn't lose her temper with them. Today, she actually yelled at them.
This made the two children very angry. Lu Yaya ran directly to her and kicked her.
"If you dare to be mean to me, I'll ask my dad to not want you anymore."
"Yaya, don't talk nonsense, come to your brother. She can be mean if she wants to be mean, we'll ignore her, but she'll have to apologize to us later."
Lu Qiancheng looked at her with contempt, thinking that she must have done the same thing as before, trying to please them, buying them food and toys, just to get them to call her mom. Their
dad is the head of the village, but their mom is a worker in a workshop, and they feel ashamed.
Zhou Jiaojiao was holding her tongue, as if she couldn't hear what they said, her whole body was shaking, and her throat seemed to be pinched.
Where is the money? Where is the money in the savings account? Why is there so much less? Lu Jiaxuan's salary and her own salary are both in the same passbook. When the salary was paid last month, there was 7,200 yuan in the passbook. Now there is 5,000 less. A full 5,000 yuan was taken away by Lu Jiaxuan.
Damn it, she has worked so hard for so many years, and she has saved up all her food and daily necessities for these two old guys, just to save more money. For so long, her biggest hobby is to look at the numbers in the passbook.
No matter how much Lu Jiaxuan rolls his eyes and dislikes her, no matter how naughty the two children are, as long as she sees the numbers in the passbook, she will be happy. But now, there is so much less money in her passbook.
Her heart is chilled.
She kept the passbook close to her body, her heart pounding. She had to take the passbook away quickly, take out the money and deposit it again, or buy treasury bonds. In short, she couldn't keep it at home anymore.
Lu Jiaxuan must know where the 5,000 yuan that was taken away is. When she can visit him again, she will ask that bastard about it.
She caught a glimpse of the brother and sister climbing onto the kang and chatting together. She frowned in annoyance. The children she loved so much before, now she felt annoyed at the sight of them.
That night, Shen Meng came back from outside. Mingyang and the other children had already eaten. Xiao Dai poked his head out of the kitchen to take a look and quickly served them another bowl of rice.
"Sister Meng is back, let's eat quickly. The chicken soup I stewed in the evening is just right for warming up your body."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Dai."
Dai Hua smiled, sat back in his seat, and picked up a piece of dried radish with chopsticks.
"Xiao Dai, I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow and won't be back for a week. You'll be the one taking care of the family."
"Okay, Sister Meng, oh, by the way, when I brought lunch to Zhang Liang at noon, I heard that the temperature was going to drop. You should bring some thick clothes when you go out. I'll pack them for you in the evening."
"Well, you and Xiao Zhang are getting married at the end of the year. I've prepared a house for you two, and the furniture inside has been decided. Here's the key. You can go and see it with Zhang Liang tomorrow when you have time. Just let Mingyang and the others have lunch at a hotel outside."
"Well, how can this be possible? Zhang Liang and I have discussed it. We plan to rent a yard in the county first. He said that our county may build commercial housing in the next two years. If we save some money, we can afford it."
"Take it. If you want to buy a commercial house, go ahead and buy it. This is a good thing. I have prepared a small courtyard for you. It has a large space, four rooms with a courtyard and a corridor. If you can't make a decision by yourself, go talk to Zhang Liang. But I think that guy will be happy to death and will definitely accept it."
Dai Hua smiled embarrassedly. She worked for the Lu family for many years. Although she was a nanny, Secretary Shen actually treated her like his own sister and was also very good to Zhang Liang.
She had met Secretary Shen's younger brother, and she felt that there was no difference between Zhang Liang and Shen Xiaobin.
"Mom, just go and do your things. I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters at home, and they won't be delayed in their studies. Mingliang and Mingfang have good grades, so I'll let them help Mingkai with his homework in the evening."
His own academic performance is only in the top five in the class, and Mingliang and Mingfang are in the top ten in their grade. I can help take care of his daily life, but he can only take care of himself in terms of study.
"My dear son, mom doesn't ask you to do a lot in the future, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"No, mom, studying is so easy, there's no pressure at all."
Mingliang, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly said this, leaving Shen Meng and Mingyang speechless. They didn't understand the world of academic masters, and they were just a group of people who studied hard.
"Mingliang, hurry up and eat. Mingkai will have to finish the shredded pork with hot peppers soon."
Dai Hua controlled the dishes she cooked at night to ensure that he would be full, because Lu Mingkai was too fat now and was growing fast. She and Shen Meng had discussed that they should control the child's diet.
But even if she only cooked cabbage and tofu, the child would eat it with relish, and his weight would increase rapidly, which made her helpless.
The next morning.
Shen Meng got on the bus to the provincial capital. At noon, she had some special dishes at a nearby store, and then took a taxi to the railway station. After waiting there for about half an hour, Lu Zhenping came over with a bag.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just got here a while ago. Have you eaten?"
Lu Zhenping nodded, stretched out his hand and held hers. Noticing that it was a little cold, he quickly put her hand in his pocket to warm her hands.
Shen Meng: "........"
Although very touched, didn't you notice that the pockets of the clothes you wore today are a little small? Your hands are a little uncomfortable, really!!!
"This time, let's just go and see her. Other things have nothing to do with us."
"Yeah, I know."
Two days ago, Shangjing called and said that Bai Shuyu was seriously ill and wanted to see Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng, and also wanted to see the child. Lu Zhenping did not agree, using the excuse that the child had to take an exam, but he and Shen Meng could go to Shangjing.
He had no feelings for the people who came to Beijing, but during the years in the army, Commander Bai treated him very well, promoted him openly and secretly, and almost quarreled with another nephew for him. He felt that he should agree to meet him just once.
Shen Meng agreed when he proposed it. Now it is 1982, and it will be 1983 in a few months.
In the future, more and more people will go to college. After the market economy starts to fully develop, there will be a wave of going abroad in the late 1980s. Shen Meng wants to go to Beijing to check out the market and see if there is a suitable courtyard house to buy first.
When I return to Ningxian, I will start to register the company. The net has been cast, and I am just waiting to catch small fish.
