Chapter 655

Meng Xia looked at the emptied technical school dormitory. Having lived here for more than half a year, she really didn't have anything to be reluctant about.

You have to know that in her life, she had never lived in a house as good as this new one.

Looking at her daughter Lu Lu Qiao, who was chatting and laughing while moving things, and then looking at Qin Heng, who had just returned from a business trip and was busy helping out, and Song Song Shaowen on the other side moving jars of pickled vegetables onto the truck—these two sons-in-law of hers were both to her liking.

They say that the river flows east for thirty years and west for thirty years. Just two years ago, she was still worrying about what to eat for the next meal and wondering when the debts she owed could be paid off.

Everyone says that the poorer you are, the more glorious you are, but forget that—she didn't believe that at all.

Whoever wants to live a poor life can live it; anyway, she wasn't going to.

She backed out her bicycle and shouted, "Lu Qiao, you guys keep moving things first. I'm going to cook. Today we're having roast duck and stewed goose..."

A roast duck restaurant had opened in the city.

There were five master chefs in total who had specifically studied in Beidu. As soon as it opened, the hundreds of ducks prepared were snatched up instantly.

Business had been very good ever since.

Located in the northern frontier, Jiangcheng was already sparsely populated, and nowadays, one could rarely see unemployed youth in the city.

When the call to go down to the countryside was made back then, the Jiangcheng area was also a top choice. Many educated youth came here to build the frontier.

Many people spent their innocent youth here. As the hardships brought by time increased, many people began to hate this land and tried every possible way to go home.

However, it wasn't that easy to return to their original cities.

Many people were suffering and waiting bitterly.

Who could have imagined that in just one year, earth-shaking changes would take place here.

First of all, the Yang Food Factory of the 516 Military Factory developed a new food product that was a bestseller worldwide—instant noodles.

Subsequently, several factories were built in Jiangcheng.

This would have been impossible in the past.

After all, it wasn't just that the population was large; the factories were also in a saturated state. It could be said that getting a formal job was truly too difficult.

Even a temporary job was something that countless people would fight tooth and nail to get.

But in Jiangcheng, those educated youth who came here to join the teams received documents stating that they were also Jiangcheng residents and could take recruitment exams just like the locals.

If you want to go to 516, you can. As long as your grades are excellent and you are qualified in all aspects, you will absolutely not be blocked by quotas.

So Jiangcheng now is a city that is very hard to evaluate.

To say it's similar to Beidu, it seems to have no geographical advantage, yet its standard of living is even higher than Beidu's.

Whether they are workers or farmers, their standard of living has been greatly improved.

One roast duck restaurant became popular, and then more than a dozen roast duck restaurants opened one after another.

The ducks were all sent from the various communes below, one hundred percent fresh.

Meng Xia, who was just about to get on her bicycle, glanced at her second daughter and thought with great pride that everything now was brought about by her second daughter.

Otherwise, even if there were development, it would absolutely not be at this speed.

It's a pity, though; for the sake of being low-key and humble, Meng Xia didn't dare to say this to anyone.

Lu Lu Qiao put down the things in her hand. Because Meng Xia was looking at her, she thought something was up and asked, "Mom, is there anything else?"

Meng Xia hurriedly said, "Nothing, nothing. Then I'll be going first."

A smile played on the corners of her mouth. Although she felt the cold wind hitting her face as she rode the bicycle, her heart was burning hot.

And at this moment, Kong Kong Fanrong could not be happy at all.

She had gotten her wish and swapped houses with the old Liang family, but it was actually a move of desperation, and she wasn't very satisfied in her heart.

Although they advocated that cadres and workers were all the same, in reality, it was impossible for them to be the same.

Everyone knew this in their hearts.

So this time, there was still a division made.

It just wasn't very obvious, after all, the quality of the workers at 516 was also very high.

The influence of many old military industrial workers was even more effective than that of some cadres.

Kong Kong Fanrong's family had a house, and her husband was Deputy Factory Director Kang. According to his rank, he could live in the cadre area.

At the time, Kong Kong Fanrong felt that this house had been lived in by Lin Lin Junfeng's family, and that Wei Wei Sixin had also undergone labor reform, so she felt it was very unlucky.

So she asked the leaders above to change houses and gave a whole bunch of high-sounding reasons. The leaders above didn't think too much about it.

Since Kong Kong Fanrong wanted to promote a spirit of selflessness, then let her promote it.

Anyway, Lin Lin Junfeng's house was relatively large, so let it be given to the diligent Chief Engineer Li.

But who could have imagined that such a thing would happen later.

So later, having no other choice, Kong Kong Fanrong went to the leaders again and again, and finally swapped houses with the old Liang family.

This way, she wasn't door-to-door with Wen Wen Guishuang, and her husband, old Kang, couldn't see his biological daughter anymore. Only then did Kong Kong Fanrong's heart feel much more comfortable, and she truly began to enjoy the sense of superiority of being a deputy factory director's wife.

Who could have imagined that the new houses would be built just like that, and the new houses were far better than the one they were living in now.

The kitchen and bathroom were separate rooms.

With her family's rank, even if there were only two people, they could be allocated the highest-level new house.

Although everyone didn't pay money at first, the factory also considered all aspects, and naturally, twenty units were set aside separately.

Kong Kong Fanrong wanted to live in a new house, so she wanted to go find the leaders.

Deputy Factory Director Kang frowned and said sarcastically, "I've been transferred to 516 for less than half a year. If you go to find them again this time, that will be three house changes.

Do you feel that my work here is too stable, and you feel uncomfortable because no one is reporting me or criticizing me?"

Kong Kong Fanrong was angry: "Who am I doing this for? Am I not doing it for you? For you to be able to live in a good environment, how can you say that to me?"

Deputy Factory Director Kang stopped talking, feeling listless.

He didn't even have the desire to argue with her.

He picked up his briefcase and said to Kong Kong Fanrong: "The new product is about to go online. I have to work overtime these few days. I warn you, Comrade Kong Kong Fanrong, the matter regarding the house ends here. You have already gotten the house you wanted; the new houses now have nothing to do with you regardless."

Kong Kong Fanrong was livid with anger, but she didn't dare to shout loudly because the current house actually didn't have very good soundproofing.

She lowered her voice: "Is it wrong for me to want to live a little better? I didn't marry you to live a bitter life."

Deputy Factory Director Kang finally couldn't help but mock her again: "So, in order to live a good life, when Wen Wen Guishuang called me, you deliberately used your words to mislead her, making her think that you were already with me at that time... Actually, you were just delivering a document to me that day, and you were still single without a partner. In order to live a good life, your sacrifice was truly great."

If it weren't for this woman, he could have received his ex-wife's call and known she was pregnant, and then they would definitely have remarried.

A family of three—how happy that would be.

It's a pity he didn't deserve it!

Deputy Factory Director Kang didn't even look at Kong Kong Fanrong and slammed the door as he left.

Kong Kong Fanrong was so angry that tears fell down in torrents.

At the same time, a sense of embarrassment and jealousy welled up in her heart.
