Chapter 822: Divorce-Breaking Expert

~8 min read 1,587 words

After Lu Qiao left, Meng Xia heard Lu Qiaoling tell her when she came back:

"Mom, have you heard? That Kong Fanrong, the spouse of Deputy Factory Director Kang, is so shameless. She proposed to the leaders that if they want her to agree to the divorce, then they must let her be the factory director of the hygiene products factory. Otherwise, she absolutely won't agree."

Meng Xia frowned: "Weren't they living quite well? Why are they making a scene about divorce again?"

"Forget it, what living well? I heard Kang Yuxing has moved out for a long time."

Meng Xia glanced at her third daughter: "This is a matter between the two of them; how do you guys know so clearly?"

"Their business isn't fresh news now, but what makes people angry is that Kong Fanrong is so shameless. Just because when my second sister and second brother-in-law came back, Deputy Factory Director Kang went to the station to pick up goods and also picked them up by the way, and then a few days later when Deputy Factory Director Kang proposed divorce, that woman dragged it onto my second sister."

Afterward, Lu Qiaoling said angrily that the mouths of these people are sometimes really wicked, actually saying my second sister is a divorce-breaking expert.

Meng Xia wasn't angry; instead, she laughed out loud.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Lu Qiaoling asked, puzzled.

Meng Xia said: "Your second sister has become an expert; of course I'm laughing. That's a happy thing."

As far as Meng Xia was concerned, everything her second daughter did was accumulating virtue; why wouldn't she be happy?

Just like Qi Shuang, what a good girl, just because she married such a man, as a result, she became divorced. Otherwise, you say how easy it would be for that girl to find a partner; I heard she is an engineer now.

Thinking of Qi Shuang, Meng Xia remembered the incident that happened when her second daughter and Qin Hengzhi were dating and watching a movie.

That technician was indeed forced to marry his wife, and that woman was really overbearing and unreasonable. That technician just wanted to watch a movie by himself and calm down and soothe his mood; who could have thought that just because he was sitting next to Qi Shuang, his wife almost didn't beat the person up.

At that time, fortunately, her second daughter was also at the scene; otherwise, this matter would have blown up, and who knows what dirty reputation would have been splashed on Qi Shuang.

Then that technician proposed divorce, and her second daughter mediated it, and finally, the two of them divorced peacefully.

Thinking of this, Meng Xia said: "That woman Kong Fanrong actually has no culture or level in her bones, but you have to admit that she has many tricks, and her skin is thick. No matter when, in order to achieve her own goals, she dares to say anything."

"What's the use of her daring to say anything? Is the factory director of the hygiene products factory someone she can be just because she wants to? Even if Secretary Hao and Secretary Ye agree, your second sister might not agree." Afterward, Lu Qiaoling frowned: "Then if my second sister doesn't agree, wouldn't she be hated again?"

After a pause, Lu Qiaoling sighed and said: "My second sister doesn't even work here anymore; you say these people are also idle, talking about how Factory Director Comrade Xiao Lu is this and that, and then this and that, and even the disputes solved before, they still take them out to talk about, and talk about them with great relish."

Meng Xia blinked her eyes and sighed, but then said happily to Lu Qiaoling: "Sigh, people fear fame and pigs fear being fat."

She, Meng Xia, wasn't worried about this matter; let them say whatever they want. No matter what they say, no one can stop her second daughter's footsteps moving forward.

So what they say is just farting.

What divorce-breaking expert?

This is also farting!

Lu Qiao and Qin Hengzhi stayed in the guesthouse of the Xuefeng Forest Farm.

Lu Qiao knew that Factory Director Zhou of the Xuefeng Forest Farm had a good relationship with Qin Hengzhi.

Only after arriving at the place did she find out the relationship was really good, because they called in advance, so this reception work was done too perfectly.

Because it is winter now, to tell the truth, for northerners, there is really nothing fun in winter; everywhere is ice and snow. Speaking of it, besides skating or skiing, actually, very few people play at this time. Without professional equipment, at most, parents, in order to let their children play, splash basins of water on the slope and freeze it into ice; here it is called "sliding."

So when Factory Director Zhou of the Xuefeng Forest Farm saw Qin Hengzhi, he patted his shoulder and said: "Bringing Comrade Xiao Lu here to play in such cold weather, besides ice, there is snow. We are northerners; isn't that ice and snow something we've seen since we were small?"

Qin Hengzhi said: "Aren't you about to start the first winter fishing?"

Factory Director Zhou said with a smile: "Oh, so you were eyeing this."

Finally, he looked at Lu Qiao, "You came at a coincidence; tomorrow our forest farm will conduct its first catch. Dress warmly, and I'll make you a full fish feast then."

The guesthouse was a bungalow without heating, but there was a heated brick bed (kang) and a fire wall. This is a forest farm, and firewood can be burned at will. When the two entered the room, the room was really steaming hot, and they had to take off the down jackets they were wearing outside.

The mat and quilt on the kang were new, and there were paper-cuts that seemed to have just been cut pasted on the glass windows covered with frost.

The fragrance of stewed chicken with mushrooms came from next door, and Factory Director Zhou shouted for Qin Hengzhi to go roast a whole lamb with him.

It is really quiet here; there is only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and it seems one can hear the sound of snow falling from the trees.

There is no coming and going of people, no grievances and entanglements; it seems this world is plain to the point that only slowly flowing time remains.

How should I put it, there are only two words: comfortable.

Because the telephone lines here don't work well, no matter what happens, calls can't get through. This is still in the situation where there hasn't been a blizzard in the last few days. If there were a blizzard, the jeep Qin Hengzhi drove wouldn't be able to get in at all.

So without a phone, no one looking for them, and far away from the city center, everything really quieted down.

The roasted whole lamb was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden yellow and glowing with a fragrance that made one drool. Old Zhou brought a box of canned yellow peaches, and also frozen pears, saying the room was hot and it was for cooling down.

A big pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, with dried potatoes added inside, the coarse grain porridge made by the guesthouse chef, the pasted corn cakes, paired with the roasted whole lamb; even Lu Qiao felt she had eaten beautifully.

The next day, before the sky was fully bright, Factory Director Zhou came to knock on the door, his voice loud: "Get up, get up, the first net is being opened!"

Arriving at the river surface, the scene was really spectacular.

Dozens of people were shouting slogans, and the big net was dragged up inch by inch from the ice hole. Silver scales were flipping, and no matter if it was big fish or small fish, they were thrown directly onto the ice surface, and soon they were frozen stiff.

Lu Qiao found it fresh, taking out the camera she had prepared and clicking away non-stop. Qin Hengzhi was afraid she would freeze, wrapping her tightly with a military overcoat, while he himself only wore a military green cotton-padded jacket, smiling and helping the fishermen lift the fish.

The full fish feast at noon was naturally incredibly sumptuous.

The iron pot stewed bighead carp was bubbling, the fish meat was so fresh and tender that it fell off the bone with a sip; the deep-fried small crucian carp was so crispy that even the bones could be chewed to pieces; the most unique was the fish shavings, raw fish slices mixed with scallion and ginger shreds, drizzled with rice vinegar brewed by the forest farm itself. Lu Qiao tasted a mouthful, and her eyes lit up: "Delicious, it's really too delicious."

Old Zhou brought frozen pears again, saying with a smile: "The heated kang in the room is burning vigorously; eat this to clear the internal heat."

Lu Qiao bit into the frozen pear, the ice-cold juice mixed with the fruit pulp was sweet, paired with the hot fish meat, and she ate until her whole body was warm.

Qin Hengzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at his wife, whose brows and eyes were full of smiles, and then looked up at the frozen river surface outside the window; it seemed this was what life should look like. ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
