"Bah, bah, bah! What did you say?!"
Li Mei pretended to slap him in the mouth: "The bad one doesn't work but the good one works!"
Wang Jianguo clapped his hands and clapped his mouth quickly: "Bah, bah, bah! No, wife, this is not just the New Year or the festival. I don't know how to eat meat like this."
Li Mei was both angry and funny: "Just feel free to eat! It will definitely not be your last meal!"
"Hey!" Wang Jianguo felt relieved after receiving his wife's affirmative reply. He picked up the white steamed bun and ate it one bite at a time. It was so delicious!
Seeing that a large pot of pork and roasted potatoes was wiped out until a little bit of the bottom of the pot was left, Wang Jianguo burped with satisfaction, and then remembered that there was one more thing he had not told Li Mei today.
"Daughter-in-law, are you close to Lao Li's wife?"
Lao Li’s wife? Isn’t that Liu Fang?
Li Mei didn't even think about it: "How close can we, city dwellers, and us country folk be? We are just neighbors in the same courtyard. What's wrong?"
It’s no wonder that Li Mei said sour words. If Liu Fang hadn’t seen Li Mei as the deputy battalion commander, he would have looked down on her. He always talked to her with a sense of superiority. But Li Mei was generous enough not to argue with her.
Now talking to her man behind closed doors in her own home, she naturally said what she had to say.
Wang Jianguo nodded when he heard this: "As long as you don't get close, I'm not afraid that you will get close to her and imitate her actions... Anyway, it will have a bad influence!"
Li Mei heard Monk Zhang Er scratching his head: "Please tell me clearly, what her actions are and why they have such bad influence."
Although Wang Jianguo is selfless in the army, he still loves to chat with his wife when he returns home, which is very vivid.
"You don't know that today the wife of the old Li family came to the military camp and clamored to see the chief."
"When I saw it, wow, it looked like a clay figurine. I thought the terracotta warriors and horses discovered in 1974 were alive. I was shocked!"
"Lao Li couldn't persuade him even after he came. He didn't even know what was going on, so he went to the political commissar's office."
"Results! Guess what?"
Li Mei was listening attentively when suddenly Wang Jianguo stopped and asked a question. She was so anxious that she patted him:
"Hurry up and say it, what's the point of selling it!"
Wang Jianguo still finds it incredible when he talks about it now: "The political commissar asked someone to call Meng Jiu'an to the office!"
"Lao Meng? What does it have to do with him?"
Wang Jianguo shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that they didn't call me. I don't know what they said in the office."
"but--"
Li Mei took the killing blow this time and pinched his thigh hard: "Speak quickly!"
Wang Jianguo grimaced in pain and said, "Hey - look at you, why are you so anxious? I'm going to talk about it now, aren't I?"
"But - when I was about to get off work, the political commissar called me over and said that Meng Jiu'an's name would be crossed out from his personal candidate list in the second half of the year."
"Ah?!" Li Mei was a little surprised. Lao Li and his wife had a fight and Lao Meng was punished? What is this thing called? !
"Look at how long you've been talking, why are you talking about such an important thing now! Does Lao Meng know about this?"
"I know, he was still in the office when the political commissar said that!"
No, she had to tell Yu Changle this news in advance.
After spending the past five days together day and night, Li Mei unconsciously felt very close to Yu Changle and felt that she was a good person.
Knowing that her relationship with Meng Jiu'an has always been tense, Lao Meng will definitely be in a bad mood when he comes back today. Don't let her get into trouble again!
Li Mei was about to go out in a hurry. After passing the kitchen, she came back and filled a large bowl of stew:
"Put away the dishes and chopsticks, and I'll go to Changle's house to have a look!"
"Hey, don't..."
Before Wang Jianguo finished speaking, Li Mei's figure had disappeared outside the gate.
He turned around in confusion and asked his daughter, who was still licking her fingers: "When did your mother have such a good relationship with your Aunt Yu?"
Lili replied without raising her head: "Because Aunt Yu is very kind to me and my mother. She treats us to delicious food and pays my mother's salary!"
"Pay wages?"
Wang Jianguo became more and more confused. He hadn't gone home these days. Did he feel that he had missed a lot of important things?
——
Li Mei hurried to the courtyard of Yu Changle's house, and there was a "dong dong dong" knocking.
At this time, Yu Changle had just arrived home and was about to cook some vegetables for a fat-reducing meal when there was a rapid knock on the door.
"coming--"
She opened the door and saw that it was Li Mei, and she immediately smiled:
"Sister-in-law Li, why are you here? What do you want from me?"
Looking at Yu Changle's bright smile, Li Mei opened her mouth and changed her words:
"What about that? I'll bring you a bowl of stew at home today."
Yu Changle looked at the fragrant bowl of pork stewed with potatoes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were too many stumbling blocks on the road to losing weight.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, then I'm welcome!"
She took the stew and found that Li Mei had no intention of leaving. She wondered if she had something to say:
"Sister-in-law Li, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Li Mei smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway. I will take the bowl back when you finish eating."
Li Mei's unusual behavior immediately caught Yu Changle's attention. There is really something wrong with Sister-in-law Li!
Yu Changle was sitting at the dining table, seemingly eating stew, but in fact he glanced at Li Mei from time to time. Li Mei was visibly restless, and her eyes were looking in the direction of the door from time to time.
She couldn't hold it in any longer: "Sister-in-law Li, is something wrong? Why don't you just tell me so that I don't panic."
"Sister, just tell me straight away!" Li Mei felt relieved when she asked.
"Don't mess with your old Meng today. He was punished in the army today and must be in a bad mood. Don't do it today."
Yu Changle frowned: "Why was he punished?"
The news about Li Mei must have been told to her by her old Wang, and there is no doubt about its authenticity. But how could a good officer like Meng Jiu'an be punished for no reason?
Li Mei thought for a while and told Yu Changle about Liu Fang's trouble in the military camp.
"My Lao Wang doesn't know exactly why Lao Meng was punished, but it must be related to Liu Fang's trouble."
After hearing this, Yu Changle fell into deep thought. It turned out that Liu Fang whom he met on the way today was going to the army to cause trouble... which also directly led to Meng Jiuan being canceled from the advanced individual evaluation...
To be honest, Yu Changle was still very unhappy after hearing the news. Only they knew about her and Meng Jiu'an's divorce.
In front of outsiders, they are still one, and bullying Meng Jiu'an is equivalent to bullying her Yu Changle.
As for the whole story...does it matter?
She knew very well which of Liu Fang and Meng Jiu'an's characters were good or bad.
Yu Changle has many advantages and disadvantages. One of the more obvious ones is to protect his shortcomings.
"Okay, Sister-in-law Li, thank you for telling me this. Don't worry, I will definitely not provoke Lao Meng."
Who dares to bully me?
Liu, your good days are over!
