Chapter 230: Ning County is my base camp
Chapter 230 Ning County is my base camp
Lu Zhenping asked Lu Jiasheng to make a recliner for him. On cold days, he would lie on it and rock it. The sun was shining brightly, and Mingfang and the youngest Mingkai would look at him from time to time.
"I think something sad happened to my father."
"Nonsense. How can someone as powerful as my father be sad? You don't know how to talk nonsense."
Mingyang was a little dissatisfied with his brother's nonsense. He raised his hand and tapped Mingyang on the forehead like a little adult.
"Oh, I'm serious, brother, see for yourself, ever since mom went to work, dad is not happy at all staying at home every day, he almost falls into a trance. Xiao Kai lives a sloppy life with his dad. Hey, I just can’t live without a woman at home.”
Mingyang's face darkened, and just as he was about to yell at him, Mingfang said "Hey" again, and then the three brothers all looked at the only girl in the family at the moment.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
"It's time to cook, but dad hasn't made any movement. I'm already hungry."
Three brothers: "."
I thought I was saying something meaningful, but I didn’t expect that it was because I was hungry!
"What kind of look, what kind of look are you looking at me? Eating is the most important thing in the world. When my mother is at home, she not only provides food for every meal, she also cooks other delicious food for us in the morning and afternoon. Look at us. Dad, it was fine before, but he has been unable to do anything these past two days. I knew as soon as he looked like that that he wanted a wife. "
Everyone feels this. I used to think that my father was a majestic, tall, and omnipotent person. But now, I see, well, he is a pitiful man who can't live without his wife.
"My father is so pitiful. When I get a wife in the future, I must not do this. I let my wife think about me every day."
"I also let my wife think about me."
Mingyang looked at his two younger brothers and snorted coldly: "I don't want a wife."
Mingfang rolled her eyes silently, thinking about beauty, a girl must fall in love with you, you are a little brat, and you just want to get a wife.
Suddenly, there was a sound of pushing the door open. Everyone looked at the courtyard door and saw Shen Meng walking in with a few lunch boxes and a thermos bucket in his hand.
"God, the wind is so cold at night, why are you sitting in the yard?"
"What are you thinking about? Is this the food you brought back?"
Shen Meng directly handed the meal to Lu Zhenping's hand. He had agreed to bring the meal back from the state-owned hotel in the morning. He couldn't always let him, a grown man, cook at home. It wasn't that he was reluctant to work. It was really just a couple of children. When Tian looked at her, his eyes were pitiful. At night, when Lu Mingkai dreamed, all he talked about was braised pork.
If she waits to go home and cook, it will be too late. There happens to be a big event to be announced tonight, so bringing something delicious can be considered as compensation. Who knows how long her trip will take!
"Yes, there are dumplings stuffed with mutton that Mingyang is talking about, braised pork that Mingyang and Mingkai want to eat, meat buns that Mingfang likes, and pork rib soup. Let's eat!" There were five or six lunch boxes facing the table. The children were already a little hungry when they put it on, but now they are drooling just looking at it. The big lunch box is also full of vegetables.
He immediately rushed towards the basin rack to wash his hands. Mingkai followed behind his brother and sister in a hurry. He was short and couldn't reach it, but Mingyang finished washing his hands and lifted him up before he touched the water.
"Drink some soup first to keep warm."
Lu Zhenping shared the soup with several children, and another person handed him a meat bun. He took a bite and his mouth was instantly filled with delicious flavor.
Shen Meng also took the chopsticks and started eating, but the man next to her couldn't ignore his gaze. She raised her head and said, "Why are you watching me if I don't eat?"
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. I said I was bringing food back this morning, but I didn't say I would bring so much. With such a sumptuous dinner, what you are going to say is a big deal."
Shen Meng: "."
As expected of Lu Tuan, this guy’s brain is so sharp! !
"Ahem, cough, that's what happened. Well, the county officials are going to the provincial capital to get orders for the workshop. I know the workshop better, and they want me to go with them. I listen. I was so excited that I agreed.”
Lu Zhenping looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I even played the game of killing first and then showing off. No wonder I bought so many good things today. It turned out to be a guilty conscience!"
"But I heard that the village workshop is going bankrupt. What are you doing here again? My parents came over today. They were very worried after hearing what happened here. Although they were also happy about the Shen family gathering. I built a workshop to help the poor people at home and in the village earn more money, but I don’t really want you to do it. Firstly, you won’t get much benefit. Secondly, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to produce anything after all the hard work. It’s better to work and live a stable life at home than to please!”
"My parents are here, what did you say?"
Lu Zhenping chuckled, took a slow sip of the soup, and then said: "What else can I say, that you are selfless and dedicated to the people!"
Shen Meng: "."
Why doesn't it sound like a compliment, but rather like a joke? ? ?
"Speak carefully, Lu Zhenping. As the deputy commander, it is impossible for you not to get any news. There are already rumors in Shangjing that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. When I passed by the educated youth spot, I saw many people holding a I am reading a book. As for the workshop, I met a person from Zhejiang Province at the bus company some time ago. He said that there are people doing business quietly there, and he also told me the allusion of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar. The workshop in Lujiacun is not Huihuang, I will not only set up workshops in Xiangyang Commune, but also in other communes in the future. At that time, the people of Ning County will be twisted into a rope, and this rope will be held in my hand. Lu Zhenping, I will not stay in this situation all the time. It’s in a small place like Ning County, but before I go outside, this Ning County will be my base camp.”
Lu Zhenping listened to Shen Meng's words and would be lying if he said he was not shocked. He knew from the moment Shen Meng changed that she was a person with a lot of troubles in her heart.
He naturally knew about the college entrance examination. Bai Shuyun wrote to himself as soon as he got the news, saying that he was still young and could take advantage of the opportunity to enter the military academy to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge about the country's military.
He didn't want to listen to her at all, especially given the current situation of their group. It would be difficult for him to take the exam. Bai Shuyun's intention was obviously to use her relationship with her current husband's family to help him.
Before returning to Ning County, he would not even consider it, but now he is actually thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Look at the ambitious look on his wife's face. If he has no ambition at all, he looks very stubborn. The children were right just now. After Shen Meng went to work, he spent most of his time putting things in order at home. , and then took Mingkai out to play and do some work along the way.
If I retire from the army in the future and I am just a worker in a small local government agency, will it hold back Shen Meng?
