Chapter 19: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"Comrade Xia, this is not a trivial matter, you should think about it carefully, and you can't be angry for a while. What's more, you have all given birth to three children, if you divorce and leave now, what will happen to the children? ”
Song Lin unhurriedly persuaded Xia Yumei, and at the same time threw out the child's question.
Xia Yumei's determined expression suddenly collapsed, she was able to survive in the Dong family for so many years, it was just because of the children, and she couldn't bear them.
Seeing Xia Yumei's hesitation in her eyes, Song Lin gave Jiang Aihua's husband a look, and the other party nodded directly and quietly left.
After a while, he brought back Xia Yumei's three children.
The eldest Dong Zhaodi girl is 12 years old, the second Dong Niandi girl is 10 years old, and the third Dong Zihao boy is 7 years old.
As if they had discussed, as soon as they came over, they went straight to Xia Yumei, grabbed her clothes and cried, and kept shouting at their mother not to leave, not to leave them.
The three children cried together, and Xia Yumei's heart suddenly softened, and she also cried.
Seeing this, Song Lin also had a bottom in his heart, and said: "The child is still young, how can he lack the company of his mother." Xiao Dong, it's not me saying you, you have to treat Comrade Xia well in the future!
You have to write an agreement as Comrade Xiao Meng said, if you mess with your brain in the future, I won't care about you! ”
Song Lin pretended to be serious and criticized Dong Da Khan, but he was relieved in his heart.
Dong Dahan nodded again and again, thanked Song Lin, and made some reassurances. Dong Dahan was illiterate, so he had to ask Jiang Aihua's husband, who could write, to do it for him, and wrote an agreement and handed it to Xia Yumei.
Xia Yumei didn't speak, silently wiped away her tears and took the agreement. She was also illiterate, looking at the words on it, she only felt that her head was big, and she glanced at it randomly and handed it to Meng Chuntao.
Seeing Xia Yumei willing to accept the agreement, Meng Chuntao knew what she thought, and didn't say anything, helping to read the agreement.
She had signed so many contracts in her previous life, and a simple agreement was more than enough.
helped change a few unreasonable places, and Meng Chuntao handed the agreement to Xia Yumei.
Let them sign and draw, hesitate and can't write, so they all press their handprints.
After a set of processes was completed, Meng Chuntao handed the agreement to Xia Yumei.
Who knew that Xia Yumei refused to accept it, but asked Meng Chuntao to help preserve it.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu hurriedly spoke: "Xiao Xia, if you don't know where to put it, just leave it to me, why give it to a child?" How can she be reliable with me! ”
Meng Chuntao didn't plan to accept it, but after hearing Mrs. Wu speak, she accepted the agreement instead.
"I won't lose the agreement, but Mrs. Wu, you're old, I'm afraid you won't be dazzled clearly, and when the time comes, you will burn this agreement like waste paper as a briquette, and then it will be gone."
Meng Chuntao said in a teasing tone, without giving Mrs. Wu any face.
Mrs. Wu's commotion in the morning made Meng Chuntao have no sense of trust in Mrs. Wu, and she didn't believe that she would have any good intentions and would help collect things.
didn't tear it on the spot, even if Mrs. Wu had a good temper.
Mrs. Wu was struck in the heart, her face turned red, and she was about to get angry.
"Okay, okay, everything is settled, why are you still arguing over this piece of paper? Listen to Comrade Xia wherever she puts this thing, and she will give it to whoever she wants! Now that everything is settled, we won't stay long. ”
Song Lin saw that Mrs. Wu was about to get angry, so he hurriedly finished speaking, and left with Li Yanying and others.
It's all done, and he doesn't want to waste time here.
The factory director is gone, and the rest of the people are not very good, and those who are gathered in the corridor also go home.
Mrs. Wu made a straight face, and asked Dong Dahan to help herself go back to the house first, she fell before, and now she is still a little unhappy.
Xia Yumei didn't move, looked at Meng Chuntao with guilt, and explained: "Xiao Tao, thank you for helping me so much, but I disappointed you." Your younger siblings are still young, and I really can't worry about them. ”
"It's your choice, don't apologize to me, I respect your choice." Meng Chuntao said.
Xia Yumei turned her face to look at the three children and said, "This is your eldest sister Meng Chuntao, shout eldest sister quickly." ”
The three children looked at each other, not understanding why an eldest sister suddenly appeared.
After only hesitating, Dong Zhaodi and Dong Niandi timidly shouted at Meng Chuntao: "Eldest sister." ”
Dong Zihao didn't seem to hear it, and turned around and ran directly into the house.
He didn't want to shout this strange woman who suddenly appeared!
Dong Zihao left, Meng Chuntao was not surprised, and said softly:
"Good, you take good care of your mother, if you have any difficulties, you can come to Yanhe Village to find me."
After saying that, she took out some melon seeds from her pocket and handed them to her two younger sisters.
Dong Zhaodi and Dong Niandi didn't dare to accept it, but Meng Chuntao persuaded them before they were willing to accept it.
After receiving the things, their eyes looking at Meng Chuntao became much more sincere.
Meng Chuntao and Xia Yumei exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they were about to leave the family home.
Xia Yumei wanted to keep her for dinner, but Meng Chuntao refused.
Let her eat with Mrs. Wu and Dong Dahan, Meng Chuntao will definitely not be able to eat.
After tossing all morning, Meng Chuntao had a sloppy meal in the county and counted the money in his pocket.
She sold a total of 4 yuan, 9 cents and 7, and her income dropped by half compared to usual.
With the money in her pocket, she turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although Xia Yumei's matter has come to an end, Meng Chuntao still wants to corrode Director Song with sugar-coated shells, so that she can take more care of Xia Yumei in the future.
When it comes to sugar-coated cannonballs, the usual method of sales in later generations is to give gifts.
And gift-giving is particular, and it is absolutely impossible to give gay men cigarettes and alcohol, and it is decent. Of course, you can also go off the rails, but that would be more expensive.
Meng Chuntao was afraid that he would not be able to hold more than four yuan in his pocket.
In the 80s, the whole country was more famous for Shanghai cigarettes, and the big leaders loved to smoke the big front door, except for the big front door, the local more famous ones are red plums and plum blossoms. Relatively speaking, red plum is used more by cadres and leaders and meetings at all levels, while plum blossoms are more common.
Meng Chuntao remembered that her uncle loved to smoke plum blossom brand cigarettes, and the main one was cheap.
Meng Chuntao looked at the price, Hongmei's cigarettes were 0.35 yuan per box, and she could still afford them. They also have more face with this to send Director Song, and immediately let people take a red plum.
Because Meng Chuntao did not smoke the ticket, the price of 0.35 yuan a box of red plums had to be increased by 0.5 yuan.
Meng Chuntao made a difficulty, she took out 4 yuan 9 cents 7 yuan in her pocket, and there was only a difference of three cents from 5 yuan.
For this reason, Meng Chuntao gave up his cheekiness to bargain with the shopping guide, wasted a lot of saliva, and secretly contributed a handful of melon seeds to make a deal.
After getting the cigarette, Meng Chuntao went straight to the family area of the management of the socks factory, asked someone and went straight to the house of the director of Song.
Li Yanying opened the door and saw that it was Meng Chuntao, and wondered in her heart: "Isn't Comrade Xia Yumei's affairs over?" What are you doing here? ”
"I'm here to thank you and Director Song for speaking for my mother, and please take care of her in the future." Meng Chuntao stuffed the cigarette he had just bought into Li Yanying's hand as he spoke, said a word of help and handed it over to Director Song, and slipped away.
