In the 1970s, I became the vicious female supporting role in the period novels

Chapter 350 A good time to sow discord

The brick kiln factory opened, and we made a stew, a seaweed egg drop soup, and a sauerkraut tofu. The ingredients were quite sufficient. The egg drop soup was taught by Shen Meng. The eggs were beaten into small pieces and poured into the pot when it was boiling at the highest point. We stirred it vigorously back and forth a few times, and when it was served, it seemed as if there was an egg in every bowl.

A group of men who used to only eat two meals a day at home all year round, now looking at the baskets of steamed buns and pots of vegetables, they can't wait to pounce on them and eat them.

Shen Meng, Xiao Zhang, Feng Si and other directors of the commune were having dinner together. Among them were Director Guo and Lu Jiaxuan, who were specially called over by Feng Si. The two of them looked at Shen Meng's behavior in the brick kiln and their moods were very different.

One is full of pride from the bottom of his heart, the other is feeling so suffocated that he can't breathe.

After finishing the work, Director Guo took Shen Meng aside.

"Xiao Meng, can I tell you something?"

"Auntie, tell me."

"This is what happened. I see that Zhenping is working in the provincial capital now, and Mingyang's children will soon be transferred to the county town for school. You are usually busy, and there is no one to take care of your family. I want to introduce someone to you to help in your family, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, etc. What do you think?"

Shen Meng actually had the same idea, but she just hadn't found the right person.

The girl at her second sister-in-law's house on her mother's side is still young, and Xiangxiang is pregnant now. She definitely cannot let her parents come to help take care of the child. No matter how smart Mingyang and the others are, they are just children, and they really cannot do without an adult around them.

"Aunt, to be honest, I do want to find someone, but I just haven't found the right one. Where is the person you're introducing to me from? How old is he? What kind of person is he? Does he have any bad hobbies? Has he been to school?"

"Ah, you need so many conditions. Then the one I'm talking about is not acceptable. I'm talking about my sister-in-law's younger sister. She's divorced and now she's alone. She's honest and good at housework, but she's never been to school."

Guo Xiuqin spoke a little embarrassedly, she didn't expect Shen Meng's requirements to be so high, she just felt sorry for the girl, so she wanted to help. She also wanted to arrange her to work in a hair flower factory, but the girl was not very good at needlework and spoke in a dull manner. If she worked in a hair flower factory, she would definitely not be able to get used to it, so it would be better for her to work as an assistant.

Moreover, Shen Meng is kind, Mingyang and the others are smart and well-behaved, so the girl will definitely be more open-minded. This was also the original intention, but Shen Meng's requirements are so high that this matter is likely to fail.

Shen Meng didn't care about that. There were so many poor people in the world. Mingyang and his children were growing up, and the people around them couldn't just do housework. If that was the case, she would just let the children eat with Aunt Chang.

"Aunt, I definitely won't come here. I'm very busy running around. I have to be a little knowledgeable and be able to control Mingyang's brothers and sisters. Fangfang is the only girl in the family. When she is around, Mingyang's brothers can be more restrained. If she is not around, they will overturn the roof in a short time. Hey, now I finally understand how considerate my daughter is."

"That's right. When I first got married, I was thinking about giving birth to a boy for my husband's family. Having a boy would secure my status and give me an explanation to my husband's family. But only those who have daughters know how considerate girls are. They are like little cotton-padded jackets."

Shen Meng smiled and said nothing. She did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. She didn't care about what the black mother-in-law said or what happened to their second aunt's legs.

While I was taking a sip of water, I saw Lu Jiaxuan sitting on the side with his head down, eating his meal listlessly, which was out of tune with the festive atmosphere around him.

"What's wrong with Jiaxuan? Why do I look so depressed?"

"Hey, you haven't been back to the village for a long time, so of course you don't know. He and his wife had a fight the night before last. Hey, it's still unclear what happened. What do you think of this? Life was hard in the past, and the two of them were very good to each other, always sticking to each other. Now that life is good, they should both have stable jobs, but instead they are quarreling. They are just bored." Shen Meng: "..."

And what a great thing! Isn't it said that the hero loves the heroine to death? Why is he shaking his fist in love? ? ?

"That's not good. You can't hit a lesbian. I'll have to give him a good talk later."

"It's not Lao Si's fault. I don't know what made Jiao Jiao angry at the factory. She took it out on her husband and children when she got home. It's not just a matter of words... It's okay. A couple quarrels and makes up at the end of the bed. It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal."

Shen Meng nodded seriously. Whether there was any problem or not, it had nothing to do with her. No, it couldn’t be said that it had nothing to do with her, because she was in charge of the atmosphere.

Guo Xiuqin hadn't seen Shen Meng for a long time, so she pulled her aside to chat for a while. At this time, Xiao Zhang came over and reminded her that she had a meeting in the afternoon. Director Guo was very tactful and just said hello and left.

Shen Meng packed up her lunch box and was about to go find Lu Jiaxuan when Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped her.

"Secretary General, I just heard from Director Guo that you want to find someone to look after Mingyang and the others. I have a candidate. She is a very hardworking girl. She is nineteen years old this year. She has a lot of strength, is honest and enthusiastic, and has even attended elementary school."

Shen Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a scrutinizing look. Xiao Zhang's face turned red as if he was on fire.

"I, I just want to help her. She is from our village. Her parents are nice people. She has two older sisters and a younger brother. Her younger brother is 18 years old and is working in our brick kiln factory. I know her well."

"Look at you. I didn't say anything. Being young is good. Young girls react quickly. I really want to find someone to help take care of the children. After all, I'm usually busy and can't always leave them at home or with Director Qi. Okay, you can bring the girl to our house in a few days. If it's okay, she can stay. If not, I won't force it!"

"Okay, okay, Secretary General, I'll talk to her later."

Shen Meng looked at his flushed face and his nervous and happy expression, and it was obvious that he was in love.

After she finished speaking, she handed the lunch box directly to Xiao Zhang and turned to walk towards Lu Jiaxuan.

She didn't want to miss this good opportunity to sow discord.

Lu Jiaxuan was eating when he suddenly felt the sky getting dark for a moment. He looked up and saw Shen Meng, who looked a little serious.

He quickly stood up, swallowed the food in his mouth, and smiled at her. No matter what, Shen Meng was in a high position now and was his elder, so he had to be more polite to her.

"Sister-in-law."

Shen Meng frowned and looked him up and down.

"Jiaxuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so listless? Today is the grand opening day of the brick kiln factory. You can't be in this state!"
