Early the next morning, Lu Erming asked his youngest son Lu Weijun to go to the steel factory dormitory in the town.
"You have a free time at work. Please help me go to your uncle's house later and deliver the things sent by your brother Wei Guo to them."
Lu Weiguo did not send the package to his parents for convenience.
Lu Weijun had been conquered by the smell of beef jerky last night and happily accepted the job. However, before leaving, he still had to tell his father, "Dad, I got my accounting job based on my real ability. And it’s not easy at all.”
In order not to cause gossip in the village, even though he had the highest academic qualifications in the village, he finally went through an assessment before getting the job.
Lu Erming smiled and slapped him, "Okay, kid, go quickly. It's too late for your uncle and aunt to go to work."
Lu Weijun stepped on the 28 big bar with a smile and left.
The village is less than an hour's ride from the town, and it was not yet six o'clock when he arrived at the dormitory of the steel factory.
Lu Daming and his wife were making breakfast.
When he saw the Army Guards coming, he called people into the house and asked, "Why are the Guards coming here at this time?"
Lu Weijun sent the things in front of them and said, "This is what Brother Wei Guo and his wife sent, and I sent it over."
As soon as the Weiguo couple were mentioned, both of them, who had never seen their daughter-in-law before, were shocked.
Lu Weijun was very amused and said, "The beef jerky here is made by your daughter-in-law. You have to try it."
If it hadn't been written in the letter sent with the package, Lu Weijun would have thought he bought it at the Jinling Department Store. There is some beef jerky sold in the supply and marketing cooperative here, and it tastes so good.
Father Lu and Mother Lu immediately became energetic, opened it immediately and took a root to taste it.
Lu Daming said: "Don't tell me, it tastes really good. The more you chew it, the better it gets."
Lu Weijun watched them eat with gusto and became a little greedy. He smiled awkwardly and reached out to take one, "Second cousin's craftsmanship is really good."
Lu Daming didn't say anything when he saw his nephew like this. He even felt a little proud in his heart. His daughter-in-law was really amazing.
Mother Lu called to Lu Weijun and said, "I'll make more noodles, and the guards will come over and eat together."
Lu Weijun was not polite either. He did not have breakfast early in the morning.
After the Lu Weijun left, Lu Daming sent some beef jerky to his eldest son's house in the same family home.
Lu Weiguo's eldest brother, Lu Jianguo, and Lu Daming work in the same steel factory. However, the eldest brother of the Lu family is not a skilled worker, but the section chief of the security department of the steel plant. He was just assigned a house last year, so the family moved to the newly assigned house. .
Lu's sister-in-law Qin Ping works in the same textile factory as Lu's mother. She has a quiet temperament and has the unique hard-working qualities of contemporary women, but she is a little timid.
When I met Lu Daming, even though I had been married to him for many years, I was still a little afraid of this father-in-law.
Lu Daming didn't say anything, handed the things to her, turned to his eldest son and said: "This is what your brother and his wife sent. This beef jerky was made by your sister-in-law. I'll give you some." Taste it.”
At this time, a boy's voice rang happily, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
It turned out to be Lu Jianguo's son, Lu Zhen, who got up when he heard the sound. He was young, but he was not afraid of this fierce-looking grandfather at all.
Likewise, he is not afraid of his fierce-looking second uncle.
Not only is he not afraid, but he also admires Lu Weiguo because he is a soldier. He has a small tank made of bullet casings at home, which is his favorite.
Because it was made by his second uncle who was an army officer.
Lu Daming was very happy to see his grandson, touched his head and asked him to wash up and eat quickly.
After the things were delivered, Lu Daming went back.
At Lu Jianguo's breakfast table, Lu Zhen was chewing beef jerky, which was delicious even if it was a bit spicy.
Qin Ping was a little distracted. She asked softly: "Jianguo, what kind of person do you think the second brother and sister are?"
Although she is a worker, her family is somewhat patriarchal, so she is a little timid. She knows that the second daughter-in-law’s family are intellectuals and they came back from abroad. Even now, they are talking about what a stinky old man they are every day. Nine, but everyone knows in their hearts that a knowledgeable person is a knowledgeable person, which is different from those with low academic qualifications.
I always felt that given the family background of the second daughter-in-law, she should be a high-ranking person who they could not touch.
Lu Jianguo said nervously: "I heard my parents say once that they are beautiful and have a good personality."
However, this did not reassure Qin Ping, but made her even more worried.
They are beautiful, have a good family background, and are well-educated. In this comparison, the gap between their sisters-in-law is too big, and they will be looked down upon by the other party.
Lu Zhen glanced at his mother strangely, "You'll know when you meet Second Aunt. Besides, Second Aunt's beef jerky is so delicious, she must be a good person."
Qin Ping:......
Forget it, not one of the two men in this family understands.
Fortunately, they have separated. Even if they don't get along well, they can only get over it during the holidays.
Shi Tingyu didn't know that his image was already off-center in the eyes of his sister-in-law, who was not yet masked.
At this time, she was receiving Director Liu from the Women's Federation.
"I'm young, have you been busy at home recently? My eldest sister wants to ask your help for something."
Shi Tingyu's first story of "Loyal Dog" has been sent out, and the second one is still being conceived, so she is not busy now. She asked: "What is busy?"
Director Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Our Women's Federation is still short of manpower. Xiao Lu has been asking for leave one after another recently. Although I don't expect her to be able to write and draw like you, but without her, things have to be left to others. Let’s do it, no, there’s a promotional newspaper that I’m going to do recently, but we don’t have enough manpower, so I want you to lend a hand.”
"Of course, it doesn't need to be like school wall painting. You can just paint whatever you want. I will pay you the salary of an old employee. You can paint as many days as you want."
Shi Tingyu really didn't have much to do recently, so he agreed after thinking about it.
Only when she went to the Women's Federation did she find out that it was just some illustrations for a propaganda newspaper.
This is not difficult for her.
Shi Tingyu finished the painting on the same day.
Director Liu was full of praise for her after seeing it.
"Look at this painting. It's so beautiful. It's really good and fast."
What she didn't say was that if it were left to someone else, it might take about a week.
The salary will be paid collectively by the accountant at the end of the month, and Director Liu decided to apply for two more days at that time.
Even so, she still felt that Shi Tingyu was at a loss.
Lu Wenchan, who had asked for leave, was currently in the office of the head of the cultural troupe.
Recently, several young girls in the art troupe have returned from the army and got married, so the art troupe has begun to recruit people.
As soon as she got the news, Lu Wenchan wanted to come over and give it a try.
She wasn't good at any other dances, but she had a good voice and sang well, so she came over.
If you can join the art troupe, you can live in the dormitory of the art troupe later.
Moreover, the art troupe has access to many officers. Without Company Commander Yang, she may be able to find a battalion commander by then.
