Chapter 317 It’s good to go home and earn work points
The men drank while the women ate with chopsticks. There were two tables of food, one for the men and one for the women. The two tables were put together. Shen Meng sat next to Lu Zhenping, but unfortunately, opposite her was Zhou Jiaojiao.
Quite unlucky.
"Sister-in-law, when I was getting off work today, I heard that a car came to the village today. Is it someone from the county party committee? Is it about that director? Did he come to ask you for help?"
Wu Xianglan now dislikes Zhou Jiaojiao the most. She always wants to make things difficult for her as long as she can make her uncomfortable.
"It was a high-ranking official in the county who specifically asked me to take the job. I thought about it and decided to take it. He said he would arrange a secretary for me. I originally wanted to start work tomorrow, but your eldest brother is back, so I will go two days later."
"Yes, yes. Big brother finally came back. You two should stay at home and spend time with the children."
Xie Jinghao fed Xiaogang a bite of food before turning around and looking at her and asked, "Sister-in-law, how long can Brother stay at home this time?"
"Yeah, Boss, how long can you stay at home this time? You still haven't taken half a month off from your last vacation."
Lu Changzhu took over the conversation and Shen Meng immediately shut up. It would be better to let Lu Zhenping talk about it himself.
"After changing jobs, I can stay at home in the future."
"What? You, the deputy commander, were doing well, so why did you retire? Don't the troops have any other plans?"
Lu Zhenping didn't answer, but picked up the glass of wine and drank it.
This look made the people at the table think in a thousand different ways.
Liu Sanjin's heart, which had just been blocked, suddenly felt relieved. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it in her mouth. Hmm~, although Xianglan's temper is getting worse and worse, her cooking skills are still good.
"Just change your job, your family has land and a house, and you can work. You won't starve to death. Besides, your wife is capable, so why not let her earn money outside?"
"How can that be possible? If this goes on for a long time, won't people say that Zhenping is a gigolo?"
The two brothers Lu Jiaxuan and Lu Jiahe looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
"Brother, it's okay. I have some connections in the commune. If you really have no work to do, there is a job for odd jobs in our commune. I will ask the director later if he can arrange for you to go there."
He had a good idea. Feng Si was a snob. If he knew that Lu Zhenping had changed his career, he would definitely not respect him as much as before. So let alone doing odd jobs, he would probably have to go under Shen Meng's banner to enter the commune.
Lu Jiahe snorted coldly, drank a sip of wine and ate a piece of meat.
After all this fuss, aren't you going to be a peasant just like me?
Hahaha, you deserve it. We are born of the same parents, so why are you so awesome? Now you’re done for, let’s see how you show off in front of me from now on.
"Brother, what does it mean to be demobilized? If you can't join the army in the future, you can come to my place. My carpentry business is also booming now. Let's do it together, and you get the biggest share, brother."
Lu Zhenping chuckled twice and raised his wine glass towards Lu Jiasheng.
"It's okay, big brother, don't worry about me."
Lu Changzhu looked at his beloved son, feeling a little uncomfortable, and he nudged Liu Sanjin with his elbow. "Old woman, how much money do you have? Let me see it, and use it to help the boss. Boss's wife, you should also think of a way. You have a lot of connections now, and you can find a job for your man. You can't just work at home!"
"Others can go, why can't he? Hasn't the second brother been working in the fields? Why can't he? What about living off others? Don't say such things anymore. The wife who got the job was the one you found for her. Who did she rely on to be so popular outside? She is a member of our Lu family. You should spend the money she earns. Not only should she spend it on you, but your Lu family should also get a share of the praise. You must take good care of your wife when you go home this time. She has no respect for the elders and is always angry. Your two younger sisters want to work in the hair flower factory, but she refuses to do so. She wants to work in the non-staple food workshop, but she doesn't want to either. The job at the bus company is now vacant, and you asked her to give it to your sister, but she bit her tongue tightly and refused to give it. What do you say we should do? If you don't give me an explanation today, I, an old woman, will never be able to close my eyes even if I die."
"is it?"
Lu Zhenping's voice was cold, and everyone knew he was angry as soon as they heard it. However, being angry now was different from being angry before. In the past, he had the status of deputy head of the group, but now he was just a white-collar worker. In the future, he would have to work and earn work points, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao ate while watching the show. After listening to what the old man said, the anger that had been in their hearts for a long time finally dissipated a little.
Liu Sanjin also knew that the boss was useless now, but he was still a man after all, and he could still beat Shen Meng up.
She was so happy that she would even want to laugh out loud if she wasn't afraid that the old man would get angry.
Who said that Bai Shuyu's son is better than his own son? Who said that like nature brings glory to mankind? So what? So what now? He is still useless. Haha. It makes me happy, really happy!
"Yes, I refused. When I opened my mouth, I said that your two sisters must not enter the factories and workshops. Now I have received the transfer order and I am in charge of the economy of the entire Ning County commune. I can't let these two bad apples mess up my future plans. Not only are they not allowed to enter all the workshops in the commune, but also all the factories in the county will not let them enter."
"Well done, I'll reward you with a chicken drumstick."
Lu Zhenping smiled and picked up a piece of spicy chicken leg for Shen Meng.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
The conversation between the couple made Liu Sanjin and a group of onlookers feel very uncomfortable, especially Zhou Jiaojiao.
She felt ironic when looking at Shen Meng. Men were useless. What was the point of her leaving? She would end up with a broken family. She glanced at the four children who were eating. Humph, these children would be laughed at in the future.
"Big brother, you, you listen to what she said, how can you let her bully your sister like this, do you know what's going on? Your wife is more powerful than you now, and you are just a peasant. If you don't show your dignity as a man, she will not listen to you in the future, and she will be good to the children. Who knows, she may have second thoughts in the future. Your parents asked you to teach her now, just for your own good, why don't you understand?"
Lu Changzhu didn't say anything, but he had this idea in mind. The woman is strong and the man is weak. If the man is not suppressed, where will he put his face? That's why he didn't interrupt the old woman when she said these words.
"Thank you for being nice to me, but I don't want it anymore. I've changed my job. Changing my job means waiting for the country to assign me a job. It just so happened that I had already been assigned one when I came back. I'm currently the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. So, I don't want you to worry about my family's affairs. Wife, Mingyang, are you guys full?"
"I am full."
"Dad, my brother, sister and I are full too."
"go home."
After Lu Zhenping finished speaking, he nodded to Xie Jinghao and Lu Jiasheng, then left with his wife and children.
The remaining people at the table were in a mess in the wind. Liu Sanjin took a few deep breaths and suddenly let out a hissing cry of "Ah~, Impossible", then he just pouted.
