Li Yuee and Fang Chunfang chatted for more than half an hour, then got up and prepared to go back.
"Hey, my dear, it's a rare visit. I'll come back after dinner." Fang Chunfang persuaded her to stay.
"No. Xiaomo will come to the commune to work tomorrow, so she has to go back and prepare." Li Yuee said.
"Okay, let's eat next time." Fang Chunfang said with a smile, and then said to Su Mo: "My nephew-in-law, I will work in the commune from now on, and come back to my aunt's place for dinner with Xiaolan more often. We are all relatives, so there is no need to be so polite. of."
Su Mo smiled and nodded without answering directly.
This was also the first time she met Lu Xiaolan's mother-in-law. She seemed to be quite shrewd.
Before getting in the car, Li Yue'e patted Lu Xiaolan's hand and said, "Come home more often when you have time."
Lu Xiaolan had tears in her eyes, knowing that her mother had come here specially to support her, so she nodded quickly: "I will go back next week for vacation."
When the supply and marketing cooperative is not busy, it has one day off a week.
After sending Li Yuee and others away, Fang Chunfang and her daughter returned to the room.
"I'm afraid the Lu family is about to rise up, but they actually have a leader. Jing Ming is a fool, and he has a good relationship." Fang Chunfang said.
Yang Jingming and Lu Xiaolan were in a free relationship. When Fang Chunfang saw that Lu Xiaolan's family was not bad and she had a job, she agreed.
She is not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law except for having children.
"Indeed, it's luck." Yang Limin's tone was a little sour.
It would be great if this was her mother's family, so that she would have a strong back in her husband's family.
"By the way, is the female soldier from the art troupe who she said she wanted to introduce to her third brother named Liu Ping?" Yang Limin seemed to have remembered something.
Fang Chunfang thought for a while, "It seems like she is Director Liu's niece."
"Director Luo got married for the second time two weeks ago. He married a man who returned from the art troupe and was named Liu Ping. I seemed to have seen Director Liu that day."
"Really?" Fang Chunfang became more energetic.
"Why are you lying to me?" Yang Limin said, "Liu Ping's appearance is incomparable to hers now. No wonder people just stopped looking at her."
He sighed and said, "It's also fate! If Liu Ping could have married Xiaolan's third brother, she would be the wife of the group leader now."
Although the director of the Revolutionary Committee whom I am now married to is a high-ranking official.
But he is almost fifty, his wife is dead, and he is married for the second time. His sons got married last year. In appearance, he also looked fierce, which was simply incomparable to Lu Changzheng's.
It's hard for Liu Ping to be willing. If it were her, she wouldn't be willing.
It doesn't matter if she is powerful, the other person can be her father. Even if others compliment you in person, you still don't know how to despise them behind your back.
"Everyone has a personal destiny for marriage. If he fails to marry, it means he has no destiny." Fang Chunfang said, "That Liu Ping is probably not a good one either."
Who is the daughter of a normal family willing to marry someone older than her father? He probably also loves power.
Fortunately, they didn't get married, otherwise it wouldn't be easy for them to take advantage of the situation.
**********
On the way back, Li Yue'e said apologetically to Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, I'm really sorry, I just pulled Secretary Geng's flag."
Su Mo waved her hand and said, "Mom, it's okay." She just boasted about their close relationship and didn't do much.
But Su Mo was a little curious, "Mom, why didn't you talk about the Long March?"
"Cats follow the cat's path, and dogs follow the dog's path. No one in her family is a soldier, so naturally she will be more concerned about being a cadre."
Su Mo smiled, even if people don't understand officialdom, the life wisdom of ordinary people cannot be ignored.
Li Yue'e sighed, "Xiaolan's mother-in-law is very calculating. At first, I didn't agree with it, but Xiaolan saw the right thing, and Jingming's kid is also pretty good, so I let her go."
"When I got married, I prepared enough for Xiaolan's dowry because I was afraid that my husband's family would look down on her."
"It was fine at first, and Fang Chunfang was also good to Xiaolan. But there happened to be a house-wrecking eldest sister-in-law who often came back to tease her mother and provoke a relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which made Fang Chunfang prepare to become a mother-in-law."
"In addition, Xiaolan is not pregnant with the child yet, so it has become such a mess." She just saw that her daughter was thinner than the last time she saw her, and she felt really distressed.
"Mom just thought that if you were promising and had already gone to the commune, she would go and support your sister. Her parents are old, and the only ones she can rely on are you brothers and sisters-in-law."
"Mom, don't worry, if something happens to Xiaolan, we won't ignore it." Su Mo quickly expressed her stance.
A cold light flashed in Lu Changzheng's eyes. He really didn't know about Lu Xiaolan. It seemed that he would have to find time to have a good chat with Yang Jingming.
Although Xiaolan grew up in the countryside, she was pampered by her brothers and could not bear to be bullied by others.
When they arrived at the brigade, the two of them went back after the Lu family put Li Yuee down.
Lu Changzheng's driving skills were good. Although the road was not wide, he still drove the car steadily to the edge of the yard and parked it.
After entering the room, Su Mo saw most of the plate of grapes still on the Kang table, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
Su Mo glanced at Lu Changzheng guiltily, but Lu Changzheng didn't seem to notice. He directly picked up the two large duffel bags that he had thrown on the ground and started to pack his things.
Su Mo didn't know for a moment whether he saw it or whether he suspected anything.
Lu Changzheng glanced at Su Mo's appearance from the corner of his eye and secretly chuckled in his heart.
It seems that his wife realized that her secret was exposed.
Lu Changzheng took the things out with an excuse and worked outside for a while, wanting to see what Su Mo would do.
When he entered the house again, he found that the grapes on the Kang table were still there.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Was her wife preparing for a showdown with him? Or have you thought of a good excuse?
Lu Changzheng took out an envelope from his luggage bag and handed it to Su Mo.
"Daughter-in-law, I took out all the 1,000 yuan from the army's passbook, as well as the salary for the past few months. They are all here. You can keep them."
Su Mo took it and took out the money and counted it. The total was 1,195 yuan.
Lu Changzheng's salary is 89 yuan, and 14 yuan is deducted for food every month. In addition, he sent her 30 yuan in October. Now I get 195 yuan back, which is not a penny spent.
"Didn't you spend any money during this time?"
"I returned to the team last time, and the 50 yuan you gave me hasn't been spent yet." Apart from buying things for his wife, he really didn't spend anything else.
Su Mo curled her lips. Men who can make money but don't spend money are the best.
"Then remember to tell me if you have no money." Su Mo said, putting the money away in the drawer of the kangqin.
Su Mo silently calculated in her mind, and with what Lu Changzheng had just given her, she now had a huge sum of more than 5,900 yuan.
"Long March, how much salary will you get every month after you are promoted to regimental commander?"
"Now that I am no longer in the frontline army, my salary will be lower, 127 yuan per month." Lu Changzheng replied.
If you are in the front-line army, your salary can be 141 yuan, and if you are a veteran regiment leader, your salary can be 159 yuan.
Su Mo nodded, "That's pretty high, my salary is only 27.5 yuan."
Lu Changzheng laughed, "It's okay, I'll give you all my salary."
