Zheng Meili didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it, she reluctantly believed it.
The truth is that the army hasn't assigned anyone to the food factory for several years.
"What is Mengmeng doing in the food factory? There are only workers in the food factory." Zheng Meili is not a bad person. As long as it doesn't involve Zheng Yingying, she is still clear-headed.
Qi Zhijun thought about it and wondered what Gu Guizhi said about Qi Mengmeng.
His joy faded a little, and he wondered if Qi Mengmeng was tired from work.
When Qi Zhijun and Zheng Meili walked in, Qi Zhijun's face was full of worry.
"Mengmeng, what job do you do at the food factory?" This was the first question Qi Zhijun asked when he saw Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to ask this.
"The job position is not determined yet. We will go to work on the 1st. I guess I will go to the dim sum workshop." Qi Mengmeng guessed.
Although Xie Hongdou did not agree explicitly, it could be seen from her expression at the time that she would be assigned to the dim sum workshop.
"Is working in the dim sum workshop tiring?" Qi Zhijun asked worriedly.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "It's just making snacks, how tiring can it be."
That being said, she knew in her heart that many large machines were not widely used and making snacks was still quite tiring. Just taking kneading dough and beating eggs as an example, the tasks were probably not easy.
But since she had decided to go to the food factory, she was mentally prepared.
When she first opened the cake shop, she did all the work herself, and it was tiring, but she persisted.
The expression on Qi Mengmeng's face was so relaxed. Qi Zhijun had never been to a food factory, so he thought what Qi Mengmeng said was true, and he finally put his mind at ease.
"It's your Aunt Zheng. She's worried that you're too tired from working as a worker." Qi Zhijun looked at Zheng Meili behind him.
His meaning was very clear, he meant that Zheng Meili was worried about Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng also appreciated it and said, "Thank you Aunt Zheng for your concern."
Zheng Meili quickly said, "We don't know anyone from the food factory, so we just asked."
As she spoke, Zheng Meili rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help Qi Mengmeng with the work.
Qi Mengmeng had already prepared the chicken and sauerkraut stewed with pork bones, and Zheng Meili just helped to get the dry food and chopsticks.
Zheng Meili watched Qi Mengmeng cooking and was surprised that she was so skilled at it. Thinking of Zheng Yingying who did nothing at home, she decided to teach her how to cook when Zheng Yingying came back on the weekend so that she would not be disliked by her in-laws after they got married.
However, Qi Mengmeng's action of scooping a large spoonful of lard into the pot made Zheng Meili's eyes widen.
Although scrambled eggs definitely taste better with more oil, isn't this too much oil?
What she didn't know was that if she hadn't been watching, Qi Mengmeng would have used peanut oil.
When Qi Mengmeng was adding more oil to the stir-fried cabbage, Zheng Meili turned her head away. There was really too much oil and she couldn't bear it.
While eating, Qi Zhijun took a bite of the egg and nodded, saying, "Mengmeng's cooking is still delicious. The fried eggs are really delicious. Meili, you should try it too."
Zheng Meili silently picked up an egg with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, praising it: "This fried egg is delicious."
How can scrambled eggs not taste good if you put so much oil in them?
It can be said that all the guests enjoyed the meal.
Qi Zhijun praised the dishes made by Qi Mengmeng highly and he ate half a plate of mushroom stewed chicken himself.
"Mengmeng, how did you stew this chicken? It's so fragrant, and the mushrooms in it are delicious too?"
Qi Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "It's just fried a little longer, nothing special. Dad, if you like it, there's still some in the pot. You can take it back when you go back."
Zheng Meili winked at Qi Zhijun, meaning not to take any. There was enough food in the pot for Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng to have a meal.
Qi Zhijun understood Zheng Meili's look, and he realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate to eat and take things at the same time.
Qi Mengmeng saw Zheng Meili's eyes, but didn't say anything. She just wanted to give the remaining chicken to Qi Zhijun later.
Qi Zhijun was very satisfied with the meal, his biggest regret was that there was no wine.
After all, they were in the military camp. Even if Qi Mengmeng knew his regret, she would not give him any wine. He could just have a drink occasionally, but not often. In case he needed to go on a mission suddenly, it would be a violation of discipline.
When Qi Mengmeng was packing up, she put the untouched chicken into the lunch box and handed it to Qi Zhijun when he left.
"Dad, take this chicken back and eat it."
Qi Zhijun's eyes were full of satisfaction, he knew that his daughter loved him.
"My daughter, when I get this month's meat coupons, I will give them all to you." Qi Zhijun said in a low voice.
But in the silent darkness, everyone heard it.
Qi Mengmeng found it a little funny. Qi Zhijun was becoming more and more competent as a father.
"Dad, you forgot, I'm going to work in the food factory soon. I will definitely have plenty of meat coupons in the future. Just keep your meat coupons for you and Aunt Zheng."
Zheng Meili breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't mind Qi Zhijun occasionally giving his daughter some money, but he couldn't give most of the money to his daughter. Fortunately, Qi Mengmeng was sensible in this regard.
Qi Mengmeng originally thought that finding a job was just her own business, but she didn't expect it to attract so much attention.
The next day, people familiar and unfamiliar came to Qi Mengmeng to ask where she got the news from and when the food factory would recruit next time.
Qi Mengmeng said she didn't know, but everyone looked disbelieving, and some even said that Qi Mengmeng was deliberately hiding it from them.
"Since you don't believe me, then go to the food factory and ask." Qi Mengmeng put away the smile on her face and looked at the other person with a half-smile, "You don't even believe me, why are you asking me?"
"I didn't expect you not to tell me, did I?" The woman in the flowery jacket said with a mean look on her face.
"Now that you know, don't ask anymore." Qi Mengmeng didn't tolerate her at all and directly retorted to her.
The room was quiet for a moment, and the woman in the flowered jacket seemed to have not expected Qi Mengmeng to speak so impolitely.
Qi Mengmeng seldom hangs out with others in this housing estate, and everyone thinks she is introverted, but they didn't expect her to speak so straightforwardly.
"Forget it, since Deputy Captain Gu's wife doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it." Someone tried to smooth things over.
Qi Mengmeng immediately looked at the other person: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that no one will believe me if I tell them. If you don't believe me, then don't ask me."
Several people in the room looked at each other, and Li Pandi smiled awkwardly: "Everyone has heard it, so why don't we go back."
Qi Mengmeng then noticed Li Pandi in the crowd. She didn't expect Li Pandi to join in the fun. As far as she knew, Li Pandi had no academic qualifications, so even if the food factory was recruiting, the job opportunity would not fall on her.
"Since everyone wants to find a job, I'll write down everyone's name and tell my dad and Gu Guizhi to have them report there." Qi Mengmeng stood up and was about to get paper and pen.
