Everyone then remembered that Qi Mengmeng's husband is the deputy head of the group and her biological father is the head of the group, both of whom are powerful people. And from what Qi Mengmeng said, if she told them, would this affect the work of the men in the family?
Several people looked at each other, and the person standing at the end suddenly said, "I remembered that there are still clothes soaking in the water at home. I have to go back and wash them."
"I remembered that I'm out of salt at home. I have to go buy some..."
"I have to go find my child..."
…
In just a few minutes, everyone in the house had left. Ye Tao came in from outside and watched everyone leave before going back inside.
"I was afraid that you couldn't win the argument with them, so I wanted to come over and help you." Ye Tao sat on the kang.
"Sister Taozi, you're a little late. They've all left." Qi Mengmeng looked a little wilful and drank a large glass of water.
Ye Tao found it a little funny, "You can convince them to leave by yourself, so I was worried for nothing."
"It wasn't me who asked them to leave. They were just worried about affecting the work of the men at home."
Qi Mengmeng shook the paper in her hand and said, "I was going to write down their names and tell my dad and Guizhi, but before I could write them down, they left."
Ye Tao didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to use this method. She was stunned for a moment, then laughed and slapped the table: "You, I didn't expect you to use this method."
Qi Mengmeng said helplessly: "What else can I do? I've already told them that I didn't know about the recruitment, but they didn't believe me. If they don't believe me, why are they still asking me here?"
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Tao and said, "Sister Tao, you are not here to ask about my work as well, are you?"
"No." Ye Tao simply shook her head: "Tiantian is still young. Even if Dahu and Erhu go to school, I still have to cook for them."
This is why most family members prefer jobs here in the military zone rather than jobs in the city.
Even though there were many people coming to inquire about the news, even if the big factories in the city were recruiting, they might not be able to go.
Just because they can’t come home at noon, many people won’t go to work in the city.
Not many people can be as considerate of Qi Mengmeng as Gu Guizhi. Not only does he think it's okay to go to the cafeteria for lunch, he also cares about whether Qi Mengmeng will be safe when she comes back at night.
Ye Tao also received the news at the last minute. She knew that someone came to ask Qi Mengmeng about her work. She was afraid that Qi Mengmeng could not handle it, so she hurried over. Now that she saw that Qi Mengmeng had successfully resolved the matter, she was ready to go back.
"Thank you, Sister Taozi." Qi Mengmeng pulled Ye Tao to express her gratitude.
Although she didn't have much contact with Ye Tao, Ye Tao was really nice to her. When she knew something might happen to her, she rushed over immediately.
"I've already told you, you're my sister, and you're still being polite to me. Well, I'm relieved to see that you're okay." Ye Tao patted Qi Mengmeng's hand, "Be careful when you go to work in the city. Ask the factory if there are any dormitories when you get there. My father-in-law works in a food factory, and they have dormitories there. The big food factories in the provincial capital must have them too."
Ye Tao told some of the things she knew about the food factory before leaving.
Qi Mengmeng walked her all the way to the door before going back.
At the Xu family next door, Aunt Xu looked at Li Lai Di on the kang and said disapprovingly, "We should have gone over to take a look. Those old ladies' words were not pleasant to hear."
Li Lai Di lowered her head and touched her belly, bit her lip and said, "I just saw Pan Di. If we go to help Meng Meng, Pan Di will be in trouble. Aren't they all gone?"
Aunt Xu shook her head and said that they all left. It was Mengmeng who solved the problem herself and it had nothing to do with them.
I’m afraid that after this incident, the relationship between them will become distant.
Aunt Xu used to think that her daughter-in-law was very sensible. She got along well with the wives of her comrades in Daming. They also had a good relationship when Mengmeng first came.
But ever since Li Pandidi came, she felt that Li Laidi was becoming more and more twisted.
She is nice to her sister, but her attitude towards Qi Mengmeng is getting worse and worse. If this continues, their relationship will be difficult.
Gu Guizhi is only a deputy leader now. If he is promoted to a full leader one day, he will definitely not live here. I am afraid that by then they will not be able to get close to Qi Mengmeng even if they want to.
She originally wanted to talk to Li Lai Di about these things, but as soon as she started, Li Lai Di yawned and looked like she wasn't listening.
Li Lai Di was pregnant, and Aunt Xu was afraid that she would think too much, so she could only add a few more words on her own.
Aunt Xu sighed and went out. Li Lai Di then withdrew her gaze and touched her belly again. She knew what Aunt Xu meant, but she just couldn't control her temper.
When Qi Mengmeng first came, they were all the same. In just a few months, her husband was promoted to deputy regiment commander, she had a father who was the regiment commander, and now she herself has a job.
Li Lai Di was just angry. Why didn't Qi Mengmeng tell her when she knew the food factory was recruiting? She had received education and might not fail the exam. Even if she couldn't go because she was pregnant, she could let her sister go first.
She felt that Qi Mengmeng didn't think about her in this matter, so she was unwilling to help Qi Mengmeng.
If Qi Mengmeng knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell her: If you are not destined to be a princess, then don't have princess syndrome! Who is still pampering you?
Aunt Xu went next door with a bowl of soybean paste.
"Mengmeng, I was just cleaning the soybean paste in the kitchen when I heard the noise coming from here. What's going on?"
"It's okay now." Qi Mengmeng smiled politely at Aunt Xu, "Aunt Xu, your sauce is still the best. I just want to eat it."
Aunt Xu quickly handed over the bowl of sauce. Qi Mengmeng took the sauce to the kitchen and served her a bowl of cooked peanuts.
"Auntie, these are the peanuts I made myself, please try them."
Cooked peanuts are not cheap nowadays, much more expensive than soybean paste. Aunt Xu wanted to get closer to them, but she didn't think of taking advantage of them.
But Qi Mengmeng insisted that she take the peanuts away. Aunt Xu knew that Qi Mengmeng was not being polite, so she took the peanuts back.
After she went out, the smile on her face fell. Looking at the peanuts in her hand, she wanted to sigh.
If it were the Qi Mengmeng of the past, she would definitely keep her to talk to her, but now it seems that the two families are going to become estranged.
But this was their own fault, and Aunt Xu couldn't blame Qi Mengmeng. Her ignorant daughter was pregnant again, and she was worried!
Qi Mengmeng didn't care about Aunt Xu's mentality. As long as Gu Guizhi's rank was high, she didn't need to indulge them.
Besides, she has a job now, and we will have less contact in the future. Just be polite when you meet.
She looked at the soybean paste that Aunt Xu brought over and prepared to make it into meat fried sauce. She would put some of it on the noodles. It was quite fragrant and it was just the right amount of time to use up the meat in the space.
Qi Mengmeng did it right away. She took out a piece of meat from the space and ground it into stuffing using a meat grinder. She also took out bay leaves, cinnamon and other spices, fried the meat into a sauce, and had hand-rolled noodles for lunch.
