Chapter 268: Not Short of Money
"Sister-in-law, what did you leave behind?" Liu Qingqing went up to her.
Lu Simei entered the kitchen and said, "Nothing is left behind. I'll help you clean it up."
"No, sister-in-law, there will be a lot of plates and bowls in the room after dinner. Let's clean them up together later."
Lu Simei didn't care what she said, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Seeing that she was sincere in wanting to help, Liu Qingqing also extended her hand.
"Lu Ruyan and Zhu Shuzhen are not getting along. I was afraid that they would argue with each other and things would get out of hand, so I suggested that we disperse." Lu Simei explained.
Liu Qingqing squinted her eyes. Is there anything here?
She looked so eager to learn that she made Lv Simei burst into laughter.
"It's nothing, actually. You've seen it too. Zhu Shuzhen, as for her, is nothing special. She's just very pretentious. She calls herself a cultured person and a native of the country, and she wants others to look up to her wherever she goes. Lu Ruyan is a bit of a firecracker. She doesn't like to see Zhu Shuzhen's behavior. She always criticizes the children, and Zhu Shuzhen doesn't like to hear it." Lu Simei explained briefly.
"What happened to the child?"
Lu Simei had a look of confusion on her face: "Zhu Shuzhen and Xie Xingwang only have one daughter, and they haven't decided to have another one even though she's grown up. Lu Ruyan already has two sons..."
Liu Qingqing understood, she had never thought about it that way before.
I just think that Zhu Shuzhen's daughter Yuting is generous and polite.
It seems that in this era, no matter where you are from, everyone has some idea of favoring boys over girls.
"Our table hasn't been eaten so clean, has it?"
Lu Simei asked while washing the dishes. She remembered that there was quite a lot left before. Liu Qingqing prepared a really generous amount for this meal.
Liu Qingqing smiled slightly: "No, Lu Ruyan just took it away."
The corner of Lu Simei's eyes twitched. This was something Lu Ruyan could do.
"In her family, only Zhao Qingwei earns the most. Lu Ruyan is in the army looking after the children and doesn't make much money a month. The two boys in the family can eat a lot, and it is said that they have to send money back home, so their life is a bit tight." Apart from Lu Ruyan, there are few families in this compound that are not tight.
It’s the same at home. We have three children.
Liu Qingqing chatted for a while and found that although this was the Huating Garrison District, the treatment here should be better than that in Xiping.
In fact, this is not the case. Because someone started to build a military factory in Huating, they arranged jobs for many military dependents.
On this side, the military district is right inside.
Due to local limitations, no factories are allowed to be built within the army.
Another thing is that in terms of numbers, there are not as many troops stationed there.
Therefore, it is not so urgent to arrange this for the military families.
People like Liu Qingqing who already have relevant jobs can also be arranged specifically.
Many family members have little education and are assigned to wash vegetables in the canteen.
Those who were a little educated but not very well educated went to the military nursery to take care of their children.
Of course, there are some things that really cannot be arranged.
The living expenses here are relatively more expensive.
It is true that many families are not doing well.
After everyone cleared away the dishes, the table in the room was also cleared.
Liu Qingqing gave the few remaining meat dishes to Lu Simei.
After Song Jinglin sent everyone away, he went to the kitchen to work.
Lu Simei had never seen such a scene before, so she quickly took the dishes and left.
Major Song's family is really different from others. The men are the ones who do the kitchen work.
