Chapter 193 Is it too hasty to decide like this?

Hu Biao paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, looked at Li Qianqian cautiously, then looked at his father-in-law and parents. It was difficult to say such cheesy words, but he quickly begged for mercy.

"Qianqian, good Qianqian, I don't feel bad. My mother did such an excessive thing. I am really disappointed in her. It's just that she is old after all. When she came in just now, I saw her swaying a little. I was afraid that she would faint at the door. My parents are respectable people. If someone with ulterior motives saw it, she would be in trouble even if she did nothing wrong."

"Hmph, you're smart. Come on, eat more. You've lost weight after taking care of the kids and me these past two days."

"Hey, thank you, wife."

Qi Mingyue and Secretary Li looked at the young couple and shook their heads. Qianqian was still like a half-grown child. Fortunately, Hu Biao was more mature and tolerant of her. If it were a male chauvinist, he would have thrown his chopsticks and smashed the bowl after hearing what his daughter said.

"Xiao Meng, Zhenping, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Don't mind it. These two children have grown up differently. We really can't do anything about them. You guys eat vegetables, eat vegetables, eat more. And Mingyang, you kids, don't be polite, eat more!"

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Aunt, these meatballs are so delicious!"

"Don't call me aunt, don't call me aunt. You should call me aunt. She looks as old as mom. Aunt is so beautiful." Mingkai is the youngest, but he has a sharp tongue. Such a sentence is very lethal, and Qi Mingyue almost lost her mind.

"The fish soup made by my aunt is so delicious, even better than the one made by my mom!" Mingliang said as he took a big sip, which made Qi Mingyue very happy. He picked up the soup spoon and served him another bowl.

"If you like to drink, drink more. Oh, Xiaomeng, how did you raise these children? They are so lovely and their mouths are as sweet as honey. I really like them."

Shen Meng smiled and looked at Li Qianqian, taking the opportunity to repeat what she had just said in the room. This time, both Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan sighed.

How could they not know about this? They have been working hard for the people's livelihood in Ning County over the years. However, Ning County is a large county. Although there are several factories supporting the economic development, it is still very backward compared to other cities.

However, things seem to have gotten a lot better in the past two years. The country has increased its efforts to earn foreign exchange. He has also been trying to get a place at the summer trade fair. If he can get a place there, even if it's just to display Ning County's products, their Ning County will be different in the future. At least when others mention it, they won't call it a poor county anymore.

"Secretary Li, Director Qi, I'm not trying to ruin the atmosphere. I heard in Qianqian's room that you wanted to bring some of Ning County's specialties to the summer trade fair, so I was just wondering, what do we have in Ning County? Cloth from the textile factory, towel quilts from the towel factory, peach cakes or canned food from the food factory, or some handmade woven products from the common people?"

Director Li was originally listening to Shen Meng talking while eating, but gradually put down his chopsticks and began to look at her seriously.

"Our Ning County is a big county with a large population. It is considered a poor county by many big cities outside. However, there are so many poor counties like ours across the country. Towels, peach cakes, candies, and hand-woven fabrics, are not something that can be made in many rural areas? Secretary Li, let me say that even if you really succeed in participating in the trade fair, can the things you bring win the favor of foreigners?" Lu Zhenping also took over the conversation at this time. He had received foreign soldiers when he was in the army. To be honest, they were very arrogant and powerless, but most foreigners had one advantage: as long as you defeat them, they will admire you wholeheartedly.

"Xiao Meng is right. I have received foreign soldiers with Heping before. They are strong and use advanced weapons. In the military roadshow between the two armies, they are indeed far ahead of us, but our soldiers are not vegetarians. With the virtue of not giving up, we have defeated them several times. I have also heard a lot from them about their love for our country and many old items in our country. So Secretary Li, if you really want to bring Ning County's specialties to the exhibition, you still have to think about it."

"Hiss~ Xiao Meng and Zhen Ping, do you have any ideas? Otherwise, you wouldn't have raised this question, right?"

Shen Meng's face lit up with joy, as she was waiting for these words. She glanced at Lu Zhenping, then walked to the sofa, picked up the bag on it, took out five hair flowers, five hairpins, and two handkerchiefs from her pocket, and placed them in front of Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue.

Li Chuan was very smart. The couple sang the same tune, probably waiting for him to ask this question. He pointed at Shen Meng and Zhen Ping with a smile, shook his head and said, "Look, look, after talking so much, it turns out you are waiting for me here. Haha, an old guy like me is really beaten to death on the beach by you young people."

After he finished laughing, he picked up the hairpin and handkerchief in front of him and looked at them carefully. He had to say that they were very exquisite, with fine stitching and beautiful patterns. They were indeed nice.

"Will this work?"

Shen Meng shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I don't have that much cloth at home. I just have some stored and asked someone to make some. But if there were some high-end good materials, we could definitely make more patterns. We don't need a whole piece of cloth, just scraps of cloth. These needleworks can be done by women in the countryside. If we can organize ourselves, our strength cannot be underestimated. As long as these things can appear at the trade fair, our Ning County's hairpins and handkerchiefs will become famous. Secretary Li, even if we can't generate foreign exchange at the trade fair, I believe you will have a way to put these things in the provincial capital, or even in the friendship store or supply and marketing cooperative in the capital. In this way, our people will have more income. Think about other livelihoods in the future. Sooner or later, our Ning County will be able to get rid of the label of a poor county."

Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue were stunned by Shen Meng's flattery, while Hu Biao was already so excited that he couldn't control himself. Speaking of scraps of cloth, their textile factory had a lot of them, especially there were some unsold stocks in the warehouse. If they could be used, it would be another income for the textile factory.

The most important thing is that if I can solve my father-in-law's worry, my parents' sins will be alleviated, and he won't have to bear such a heavy psychological burden. It's a win-win situation!
"Well, as for the cloth, the textile factory can provide some."

Shen Meng took advantage of the situation and slammed the table, saying, "Hey, then it's settled, Director Hu. I'll come to you when the time comes for the fabric. But don't worry, this is the responsibility of the textile factory. Our commune is affiliated with your factory. The common people will earn some labor fees, but the bulk of the money will still go to your textile factory. But I think Qianqian is the most suitable person to be in charge of this matter. Let her be the liaison officer, and don't reduce her salary or Qianqian will be too busy."

Li Qianqian: “.”

Hu Biao: “.”

Li Chuan/Qi Mingyue: “.”

Is this confirmed? Isn't this a bit too hasty?
