Chapter 455

Meng Xia didn't have time to care anymore. In order to spend this New Year, the whole family was mobilized.

She led the family to start steaming buns and wrapping frozen dumplings pot by pot, and also had to clean up chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

In the evening, Branch Secretary Lin of Guzitun brought a basin of stuffed blood sausage and half a bag of sticky bean buns. Meng Xia packed him half a bag of steamed buns and ten catties of pork.

When Branch Secretary Lin left, he also took away a pair of couplets written by Qin Heng.

Coming and going, it was full of human touch and New Year flavor.

However, this kind of New Year flavor would become lighter and lighter in the future.

But now it was very rich, and even Lu Qiaoge followed and became excited.

The neighborhood office was on holiday, so Lu Qiaoge didn't have to get up early to go to work.

Actually, at first, she didn't plan to go to work. How good it would be to be a salted fish? When the college entrance examination reopened, she would go to university.

But if she really wandered around at home, Meng Xia's hair would probably turn white with worry.

Having a formal job, life could be considered complete.

This was the simplest thought in the hearts of the elders.

But in fact, such thoughts still occupied the mainstream for decades to come.

People in the country were seeking stability in their bones.

That's why Lu Qiaoge gave up the idea of being a salted fish.

Now Meng Xia stood at the gate chatting with people, and the words she said were like this: "Oh my, my eldest is still working overtime. The unit is so busy day by day."

"My second daughter also just went on holiday. There are so many things in the food factory at the end of the year, and then the factory is going to open a branch factory. Day by day, it's hard for me to say a word to her."

Someone echoed: "Qiao Ge has achieved such eye-catching results, one can imagine how much hard work she has put in. She must have a good rest during these few days of holiday."

Meng Xia said again: "That's how it's said, but she still has to go to the factory on New Year's Eve. There are too many orders in the food factory. Qiao Ge said she originally planned to give everyone a three-day holiday, but those workers didn't agree.

It's not for a little overtime pay, but everyone's awareness is very high. They said that with so many orders, if they don't finish them quickly, how can they have the face to take a holiday and rest?

So the canteen also fires up as usual, and they have prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and the workers on duty at night also wrap dumplings to eat."

The other party also responded, but in fact, it was also sincere: "Although it is a small factory in the neighborhood office, their treatment is not worse than that of a large factory."

"Yes, the treatment is good, but it's also busy. My eldest daughter-in-law and my youngest daughter are also not free. Fortunately, my second sister-in-law is here this year, otherwise it would really be too busy."

Meng Xia's voice was not small either. Standing at the gate talking, Lu Yun, who was wrapping dumplings with her mother in the kitchen, smiled and said in a low voice: "The eldest sister-in-law in my memory was still very shy, but now she is so cheerful."

Grandma Lu sighed and said: "Actually, your eldest sister-in-law has always been frowning these past few years. That brow, it couldn't stretch out.

Little Four's health is not good, and only your eldest brother is working in the family. Little Four has to spend money to buy a piece of painkiller, and he coughs every day when winter comes. When he coughs, it's heart-wrenching, and he has to drink decoction.

Now how hard it is to find Chinese medicinal materials. Pharmacies don't sell them, so you have to buy them from doctors at high prices, or secretly go to the countryside to collect them. The owed money is like a snowball, and it can't be paid off no matter what.

Chatting with people like this at the gate?

That never happened. Your eldest sister-in-law didn't dare to talk too much to people, worried that the next sentence would be asking her for money, and her voice didn't dare to be so loud, she had no confidence."

Lu Yun said somewhat melancholically: "It's very difficult to support a family, and there are too many problems to face. The eldest sister-in-law who was so easy to be shy was beaten by life as if she had changed into a different person."

Grandma Lu said: "Yes, everyone says that revolutionary work is not divided into high or low, but in fact, why not? Farmers and workers are just different. This is something that can't be helped. Everyone in the family works and has a salary, so the conditions are definitely good. Just like your eldest sister-in-law, she finally dares to stand at the gate and talk loudly with the neighbors."

At this time, Qin Heng finished writing the couplets. Lu Qiaoge put the couplets on the back of the chair to the side, so that no one would accidentally touch them.

This is to be pasted tomorrow morning.

Lu Little Four, that is, Lu Zhiyu, was watching with shining eyes on the side.

After writing a pair, he read it aloud on the side.

Lu Da sat in the corner drinking water with a smile. There was no way, the living room was really too small.

He sat in this place and also sat on a small stool.

After the factory builds houses in the spring, according to his level, he will definitely be assigned a large one.

He is now an 8th-grade worker.

That is to say, these two years are a bit worse. A few years ago, he wouldn't have traded this 8th-grade worker for a factory director.

Lu Qiaoge took Qin Heng to wash his hands.

The place to wash hands is next to the kitchen. In summer, it can be outside, but in winter, it won't work.

Qin Heng said: "Auntie, I won't eat here, I'm going back to the unit."

Looking at the time, Meng Xia said: "I'll cook dumplings for you now, you have to eat dumplings before you go, right?"

Qin Heng couldn't refuse.

Mainly because Meng Xia's movements were very fast. Originally, water was burning in the pot, and half a pot of dumplings was put in with a crackle, and it was soon cooked and turned up.

The dumpling skin bounced up when pressed with chopsticks, which proved that the filling was cooked.

Lu Qiaoge ate with him.

She also had to go to the unit to turn around.

The neighborhood office doesn't need her to manage, mainly the food factory and the craft factory.

Then look at what new ideas Fan Xiaoyu has for the branch factory.

There are many young people in her factory, and many who are not married.

These people took the initiative to stay and work overtime.

Lu Zhiyu asked eagerly on the side: "Second Sister, can I go with you?"

Lu Da on the side stared: "Your Second Sister and your Brother Heng are going to work, what are you joining in for?"

Lu Zhiyu sat on the side and didn't dare to speak.

Huahua also entered the room at this time. After eating two dumplings, she was picked up by the aggrieved Lu Zhiyu.

Qin Heng glanced at Lu Zhiyu and said in a gentle voice: "Xiaoyu, send your Second Sister to the food factory first, I will take you and Huahua to the shooting range."

The Lu family now calls it mixed. Sometimes they call it Little Four, sometimes they call it Xiaoyu, but when Lu Zhiyu's classmates come, they all call him Xiaoyu.

Qin Heng has called him Xiaoyu from beginning to end.

At this time, Meng Xia wanted to ask on the side, what are you going to the shooting range for in the middle of winter?

And what kind of place is that?

Don't let Heng make a mistake.

Since this child started dating her daughter, he has really treated them as family.

This winter, there was nothing he didn't think of, including food, drink, daily necessities, and firewood and coal.

As long as it was thought of in the front, it was sent in the back.

Over these years, this was the first time she had lived a life without worrying about firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Now she has forgotten what it was like when Liang Aishu was dating her second daughter.

But it was definitely not like this now.

Liang Aishu looked down on their Lu family in his heart.

He came twice and never came again.

So she was even more reluctant to trouble Qin Heng.

Qin Heng shook his head on the side and said gently: "It's okay, it doesn't affect anything. The work tasks are basically completed, and you can relax before the Spring Festival."
