Chapter 8: Lu Ting
Fan Jian can't eat chili peppers, even if he has been in Nanzheng University for nearly ten years, his stomach still can't stand chili peppers, especially the spicy ones in Chongqing. The unaccustomed food www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion is also one of the main reasons why Fan Jian did not hesitate to return to NN City, a second-tier city, from Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central government, after graduation. On the days of his business trip to Chongqing, even the fried vegetables had chili peppers, as well as spicy Chongqing hot pot, which made him really uncomfortable.
Fan Jian looked at the table full of dishes, but he didn't have any appetite at all. He didn't even want to look directly at his mother Lu Ting across the table, so he kept his head down and ate the white rice in the bowl.
"You and I, who are mothers, shouldn't be angry with your own stomach." Lu Ting said: "Look, Mom specially made your favorite steamed osmanthus fish and stir-fried duck intestine with tender ginger and perilla." Lu Ting said as she sandwiched a large piece of fish meat for Fan Jian, which was the fattest piece of fish meat in the belly of the fish.
On the table, there are two plates of stir-fried duck intestines with tender ginger and perilla, but one plate with a slightly more amount of chili peppers has no chili peppers, and a plate with a slightly less amount is full of bright red chili peppers. Lu Ting loves spicy food, but her son Fan Jian, like her dead husband, can't eat chili peppers. For many years, Lu Ting has cooked, except for soup, one dish, which is generally divided into two, one spicy and one not spicy.
"Mom, I'm not without hands." Fan Jian raised his head and said, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. In the matter of marrying Yi Zhenxi, he was very unhappy with his mother Lu Ting's proposition. Last night, Lu Ting persuaded Fan Jian to fail, and the two quarreled, and in the end, Lu Ting wiped her tears, beat her chest, scolded Fan Jian for being a filial son, and lifted Fan Jian's father Fan Jun, who had passed away for many years, out. In order to avoid the recurrence of last night's situation, at this moment, in front of Lu Ting, Fan Jian concealed his displeasure and dissatisfaction.
Fan Ting is a typical middle-aged woman in the south, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, her appearance is not only ordinary, but also looks simple, with short hair that reaches her ears, her complexion is a little dark, there are a lot of spots on her face, and there is also a bit of wind and frost.
Lu Ting bit the duck's large intestine in her mouth, and decided to start persuading her son again: "Isn't this good for you?" Do you say it's easy for me, your father died early, I raised you and your sister alone, in order to let you study with peace of mind, your sister went to a technical school after graduating from junior high school. I got up early and set up a stall in the dark, and finally trained a doctor, in case you become the son-in-law of a corrupt official, where will your father's face go? ”
She put another piece of fish meat in Fan Jian's bowl and said, "The tree wants the bark, the person wants the face, you have become the son-in-law of the corrupt official, the position of the director, will the leaders of the hospital still consider you?" ”
"Mom, don't open your mouth to be a corrupt official, shut up a corrupt official." Fan Jian frowned and said, "There is no result yet." ”
Lu Ting put down her chopsticks, glared at her with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, and said angrily: "What is fruitless, are you a three-year-old child when you are your mother?" ”
"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig walking? Those who have been "shuanggui" by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, where will they still be innocent people? ”
"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? When I look at Yi Jianguo, not only are my shoes wet, but I am also soaking wet! ”
"I only have a beginner Chinese, and I can't compare to you as a doctor, but in addition to the things in the books, you don't necessarily understand other things better than me."
"In my life, I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten."
…… Lu Ting chattered. Fan Jian simply buried his head in eating and refused to agree.
When Fan Jian was in elementary school, his father Fan Jun died in a work accident, and his mother Lu Ting became the pillar of the family.
NN City Old TV Factory, is the name of the locals, the name of this factory, is "NN City Radio No. 3 Factory", is a famous old state-owned enterprise, established in the late sixties of the last century. In 1983, the third factory produced nearly 30,000 black and white televisions, with an annual sales revenue of more than 12 million yuan, an increase of nearly 3 times compared with 3.03 million yuan in 1982, and a profit of more than 800,000 yuan for the first time, reversing the loss situation, and from 1986 began to produce color televisions. However, good flowers do not bloom often, good times do not always exist, under the fierce market competition, after 95 years, the efficiency began to decline, and factory employees began to be laid off in batches.
Lu Ting is not a regular worker, just a temporary worker in the factory canteen. She was among the first batch of laid-off layoffs. Fortunately, before Fan Jun left, the factory engaged in fund-raising welfare housing, and Fan Jun got a house, Lu Ting and Fan Jian, as well as Fan Jian's sister Fan Li, and a place to live in peace.
Knowing that she was laid off, Lu Ting went to the office of the secretary and the factory director to quarrel several times.
The secretary said, "The canteen is gone, where is there still a place for you to work?" ”
"This factory, if it will eventually go out of business, leave early and leave late, and no one can escape."
After the quarrel a few times, one day, Lu Ting went home and said to Fan Li and Fan Jian's sister and brother: "The crying child has milk to drink, the mother has a new job, and the laid-off compensation is 20,000 yuan more." ”
Under Lu Ting's noise, the secretary of the third factory introduced Lu Ting to the Shibu Milk Factory in NN City to deliver milk through his own connections. Lu Ting worked as a milkman, had free time during the day, and found a flour shop to work as a part-time worker at noon, and set up a stall in the night market at night, working three jobs by herself.
Even so, a family of three is still financially tight. Fan Ting was bold, took out Fan Jun's work-related injury compensation, rented a bunk of about ten square meters in Heping Shopping Mall, and started a wholesale and retail clothing business.
Heping Shopping Mall is located in the bustling Xiguan Road of NN City, adjacent to NN City Department Store, north side of the railway station, bus station, west of the Yongjiang River, excellent location, large passenger flow. At the beginning, Fan Ting quit her job in the powder shop and stopped setting up a stall, but as the business of the Peace Shopping Mall improved, Fan Ting resigned from her job as a milk delivery worker at Shibu Dairy Farm to concentrate on selling clothes. In 2001, next to the Peace Shopping Mall, there was a new Peace Shopping Mall, with a total of five floors, and it is also a large-scale comprehensive market for daily industrial products. The original Peace Mall was called "Old Peace".
Lu Ting took out her savings and bought out two shops as soon as possible, one of fifteen square meters and one of twenty square meters, she operated a large shop on the third floor, continued to sell clothing, and handed over the slightly smaller shop on the first floor to Lu Li to operate, selling food and miscellaneous food. For this reason, Lu Ting forcibly asked Lu Li to resign from her original job. Now, three shops have also invited two young working girls.
The three shops not only allowed Fan Jian to finish college, graduate and doctoral studies with dignity, let Fan Li hold a wedding with dignity, and gained control of the family, but also made Lu Ting raise her eyebrows in the dormitory area, from a widow who was pitied and bullied to a nouveau riche who made people envious and jealous.
During Fan Jian's ten years of study from university to doctorate, Lu Ting said the most to Fan Jian: "I have been smart since I was a child, but my family has no money to study for me, and now you are studying for your mother." You don't have to worry about money. ”
Before Fan Jian went to work in the procuratorate, Lu Ting took out a sum of money and bought Fan Jian a Mazda with more than 100,000 yuan. Lu Ting has already made a one-time payment of more than 1.2 million yuan in Ronghe Central Garden in the center of Dongge Road to buy a large house of 140 square meters, ready to be renovated and used as Fan Jian's wedding room. This real estate, and the Ronghe Shanshui Garden where Yi Jinxi lives, is a real estate developed by the same developer, and they are both high-end communities in NN City.
In Lu Ting's heart, she always hoped that Fan Jian would find a civil servant, but she couldn't be an ordinary civil servant, but she had to be the daughter of an "official". In Lu Ting's eyes, Yi Zhenxi is not perfect enough--- Yi Zhenxi is three years older than Fan Jian, in Lu Ting's opinion, Fan Jian has to find someone a few years younger than him. However, Fan Jian insisted on Yi Zhenxi, considering the background of Yi Zhenxi's mother's family, as well as Yi Jianguo's department-level leadership status, Lu Ting did not object.
Fan Jian and Yi Zhenxi established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and Lu Ting began to look for a house for Fan Jian. In her opinion, if a man does not have a house, he has no status in the family, and she cannot let her daughter-in-law control her son. However, Lu Ting also kept a hand, and on the real estate certificate, Lu Ting's name was written.
