"My dear, why did you buy so much meat and vegetables and even a roast chicken? What's going on?"
Seeing the slightly excited look on her daughter's face, she intuitively told Mother Fang that there must be something going on here, so she simply asked.
"Hey, that's a good thing."
"What's a good thing? You have it?"
Swish…
The eyes of Father Fang and Fang Xiaoqing, who had just walked out of his room, fell on Fang Xiaoya.
"Sister, sister, am I going to be your uncle?"
"Don't be fooled. You have no right to interrupt when adults are talking." The little girl didn't tolerate her brother at all, so she slapped him on the back of the head. After the slap, she turned to look at her mother.
He said while stamping his feet.
"Oh Mom, we have only been married for less than a month, how could you possibly know now even if you have me?"
"Then what good thing is it worth spending so much money on?"
Yes, it’s better to be obedient.
"Brother Er Heng has been transferred to the department store as the first deputy director, and at the same time..."
As soon as Lafayette showed his power, Fang Xiaoqing immediately shrank his head and tightened his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"Good boy, it's okay!" Father Fang happily patted his uncle's arm.
Here, Father Fang also cast a questioning look at his uncle who just came in.
Li Heng smiled, then raised his chin and pointed at his wife: "Dad, let Xiaoya speak."
Forget about Fang's father and Fang's mother, Fang Xiaoqing felt even happier.
"Buying so many things is just to celebrate."
At this moment, they don't know that the son-in-law of the Fang family has been promoted. If they knew this, Aunt Shen would definitely break up with jealousy.
She can afford it because she has a cadre son-in-law, but her family doesn't dare to do that.
At the dinner table, Fang Xiaoya thought of the pig head she brought over.
"Dad, tell me."
Everyone is the same, they learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.
"Well, when you were in the army, you were also a leader. You should know more than me. I have been a teacher all my life. In fact, I don't know anything about the things above. These are just my personal words. Please listen.
Just listen."
"Promotion?" Fang's father and Fang's mother looked at each other after hearing this, with deep doubts in their eyes.
"no problem."
He felt that he might be the one with the least status in this family.
No matter what is said about the equality of all people and the distinction between high and low professions, these are all false. The genes engraved in the bones of the Chinese people and inherited for thousands of years cannot be changed.
As a teacher and a contemporary intellectual, Dad Fang should be said to have a relatively noble personality. He reacted like this. You can imagine what ordinary people would think.
Hey, what a pity, why is there only one? If there were more sisters in the family, they wouldn't be able to eat meat every day. Just thinking about it would make her look pretty to death.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, Brother Er Heng has been promoted." Fang Xiaoya didn't hold back anymore, but directly announced it.
Since his brother-in-law came back, he can eat meat almost once a week, which he couldn't even imagine before.
"By the way, Mom, Brother Erheng asked someone to buy a pig's head. You can marinate it later."
"No matter who arranged it, if you can come on, it means you have the ability. Do it well, Er Heng. We really should celebrate today. Let's have a drink together later."
She became more and more satisfied with this son-in-law. If it was because of her daughter's illness before, now she recognized Li Heng from the bottom of her heart.
"That's easy. You can eat it tomorrow."
"Dad, don't worry, I will remember it."
"When you get to a new job, you must stick to your heart. We are a family, and I won't make false claims. Just do your part and complete your tasks.
How can this be compared to the fact that her family can't live without eating meat for two days?
Fang Xiaoqing, whose mouth was full of oil as he gnawed on the roasted chicken, found that he was almost dying of happiness. This was the rhythm of being able to eat meat every day.
He is going to take the college entrance examination this year, and the pressure on his heart can be imagined, but now he finds that he seems to have a way out. At the worst, he can let his brother-in-law arrange to work as a temporary worker in a department store. The pressure that he has been carrying seems to have suddenly disappeared.
Generally speaking, the whole body feels relaxed.
"After taking care of it, mom, the flesh and blood are separated." Li Heng said after swallowing the food in his mouth.
but……
…
"Mom, what you said was too exaggerated. I just ate two pieces of chicken neck."
"I will always keep what you said in mind. Dad, I'd like to toast you."
"Haha, okay, come on!"
"You two, don't just drink. Eat some food first. Fang Xiaoqing, you're almost done. Your dad and your brother-in-law haven't eaten yet. You've almost finished the chicken."
"Hey, this is all arranged by my old leader."
The most important thing is that we must not be greedy or possessive, but we must not be jealous.”
Of course, today's promotion is just the icing on the cake. The happy smile that has always been on her daughter's face after her marriage is the real reason why she truly recognizes this son-in-law.
"Hey, you've learned to talk back. Believe it or not, I've turned you into a chicken neck."
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoqing was thinking secretly in his heart. If he dared to say it out loud, I'm sure Fang's mother and the little girl's big ears would shout on his head.
The strong smell of meat wafted through the yard again, and the other three families in the yard were already numb, especially the Shen family across the street. Aunt Shen had long given up her desire to compete with the Fang family.
Although Fang Ma on the side didn't say anything else, the excited look on her face spoke volumes.
"Pig head? Have you disposed of it?" Fang's mother raised her head and glanced at another cloth bag on the table. She was just wondering what was in that bag.
"Er Heng..."
"What promotion?" they both asked in unison.
The surprised look that appeared on Fang's mother's face was immediately dampened by her daughter's words. She raised her finger and pointed at the meat and vegetables she had just taken out on the cutting board, and asked with some displeasure.
Well, this meat is so delicious!
Fang Xiaoya sat there with a smile on her face and said nothing. She would add some vegetables to her man's bowl from time to time, signaling him to eat more and not just drink.
Father Fang looked at his daughter's movements and had no thoughts of leaking air in his little cotton-padded jacket. He was just happy for his daughter and thought it was normal. She was already married and in his eyes, she must only have her own man.
Li Heng knew very clearly in his mind at this moment that he would only eat meat like this for the past two years. When the difficult period comes, he would definitely not dare to eat like this.
Then, in the past two years, he has to think of ways to collect more food and fill up his warehouse. He has no great ambitions for the world. All he wants is to let his relatives survive that period safely, and then focus on that.
