Chapter 84 Chapter 84

Director Leng also saw Lu Nong’s reaction, unconsciously frowned, did she guess wrong, Lu Nong is not a low-profile cultural person who hides a beautiful and beautiful chest, but a person who is a donkey’s dung egg surface light doings?

When she heard about the test, her rival, Hu Mei, had been preparing for a long time, so she got stage fright?

A trace of disappointment flashed through Director Leng’s heart, and then she consoled herself that her expectations of Lu Nong were too high, and that it was normal for Lu Nong to shrink in the face of an opponent who had been preparing for a long time.

She asked Lu Nu with gentle words, “Is Comrade Lu Nu having any difficulties?”

Lu Nu soybean sweat, that is, she is now caught in a dilemma.

Originally, she agreed to Director Leng’s job offer because she didn’t want to let down Director Leng’s goodwill, plus she wasn’t familiar with this side of the military region for the time being, so Director Leng recommended that she go to an elementary school as a teacher, which sounded easier than the other jobs, and it also gave her a buffer.

Lu Nong was planning to turn around and seriously consider this job recommended by Director Leng.

But she didn’t realize that Hu Mei would jump out in the middle of the test and want to run for the post with her.

If Lu Nu agrees to this exam competition, she is a king of the North University rolls and Hu Mei competing for the elementary school teacher’s position, a little bit of victory is not martial.

But if she did not promise to take the exam or not compete for the elementary school teacher position, even if it is politely refused, Hu Mei and Director Leng will think she is afraid of, after all, earlier she was promised well, Hu Mei stood out Lu Nong immediately changed his mind, everyone will think she is afraid of Hu Mei.

Both Hu Mei and Director Leng’s words could rack her there, refusing was just scary.

Lu Nu had little choice but to explain the reason for his refusal.

To explain the reason for not participating in the face, it must be said that his high education and Hu Mei competition is not appropriate, so there is a suspicion of looking down on Hu Mei.

Left and right are inappropriate, Lu Nong pondered for a moment, glanced at Hu Mei who thought she had won Sui red faced, and said to Director Leng, “Director Leng, I have no difficulties, but after thinking about it this exam is still not to participate.”

“Has Comrade Lu Nong thought it over?” Director Leng asked.

Hu Mei breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Lu Nong with a smug look on her face, shaking off Liu Erniu’s hand that was picking at her and ignoring Liu Erniu’s eyes that urged her to keep a low profile.

However, although Liu Erniu persuaded Hu Mei, in fact, Lu Nong as the wife of the deputy division commander took the lead in admitting defeat to Hu Mei as the wife of the head of the regiment, a few head of the wife of the heart have different sizes of waves across, they consciously and unconsciously in the heart of the Lu Nong to produce contempt.

This is also normal, the reason why Director Leng is respected, on the one hand, it is really because of the status of the division commander’s wife, on the other hand, her people and work ability to convince the public, did not fall the name of the division commander’s wife, which has come to the military wives of respect and love.

Compared to Lu Nong is too young, people at first respect her because of Pei Jingan, but get along for a long time, in the future can not maintain this respect all depends on her own.

Today this play can be said to be a test of water, who provoked it is self-evident, Lu Nong on the pros and cons to see clearly, she chose to withdraw from the examination not to fight for the moment is for future consideration, but this play is not completely curtains.

Lu Nong was calm, as if he didn’t see Hu Mei’s provocation, and said sincerely to Director Leng, “Think it over. I’m sorry, Director Leng, for failing to live up to your expectations, Director Zhou came to me a few days ago, and I’ve decided to try out the work of the Force Propaganda Department first after the New Year.”

In fact, more than the Ministry of Propaganda, Lu Nong file with Pei Silian transferred to the military region this side, the management of the file of the Ministry of Personnel comrades and the Director of the Ministry of Propaganda Lao Zhou, Director of the Department of Organization of a few people are acquaintances, drinking secretly gossiped Lu Nong’s academic qualifications.

What are the troops lacking now? It has to be talent.

Several directors of the chicken thief, all want to Lu Nong income under the banner, but also afraid of Lu Nong this talent was snatched away, the unified approach to Lu Nong’s file qualifications and work experience to cover up the dead.

Privately and Lu Nong played a chance encounter, invited Lu Nong to work in his own department, but Lu Nong came to the military region to indulge in creating their own peach blossom, afraid that these departments are too much work to delay her business, so they have been considering …… considering it without any further information.

When Pei Silk An knew it, he comforted her to just follow her heart, and Lu Nu let herself go even more when she heard it.

Director Leng: “……” also do not need to apologize, normal people will choose the propaganda department.

Hume: ! No way!

Liu Erniu/Wang Xiuzhi: O-O

Director Leng took a close look at Lu Nong’s expression, not like a lie, but the span from elementary school teacher to the propaganda department of the army is really a bit big ah.

I can’t say that elementary school teachers are necessarily worse than the Army Propaganda Department, but nowadays elementary schools learn simple things in their main classes, not to mention the side classes, which are pretty much just taking the kids for a ride.

But if you want to enter the Ministry of Publicity is not a simple matter of reading from textbooks and bringing up children, but to write various materials and publicity articles, you must first have talent.

Secondly, it is also necessary to have organizational skills, publicity skills, a certain degree of eloquence and social skills, and interviewing skills.

From elementary school teachers to the army propaganda department, it is simply from over the family to adult society, the test is not only the cultural level, but more importantly, the ability, the cultural level is only one of the most basic.

Why do most of the military wives want to be a teacher and not in a department like publicity or labor union?

It’s not because you can’t open your mouth and you have stage fright.

At the end of the day lacks the ability to deal with big situations and can’t even think about that type of work.

Hu Mei looked at Lu Nong incredulously, is she crazy? Is it possible to tell such a lie that can be broken at the first poke? Does Lu Nong even know what she is saying?

“You’re lying!” Hu Mei was so angry that she couldn’t choose her words, if what Lu Nong said was true, wouldn’t her previous mockery of Lu Nong’s remarks be more of an ugly thing to do, making people look at her as a joke for nothing?

Lu Nong smiled faintly, very much like Pei Silk An’s gesture of not being contemptuous but making you feel like garbage, “Comrade Hu Mei can go and inquire on his own.”

Hu Mei was shocked by Lu Nong’s aura, she didn’t dare to completely offend the wife of the deputy city division chief in the end.

Director Leng color up, director Zhou this person she knows, look at no matter what does not love to toss, but no talent is generally not into his eyes.

She couldn’t help but mull over Lu Nong’s retort.

Lu Nu’s retort is interesting in that it omits a lot of unspoken hidden meanings.

First, she first refused the position of elementary school teacher, seems to be afraid of Hu Mei, so she took the initiative to back down, but she later said, “decided to apply for a job in the propaganda department of the army first”.

What does that mean?

It means that she is not afraid, even have the guts to break into the propaganda department, how can she be afraid of elementary school exams?

Unless she doesn’t want to compete with Hu Mei, or she doesn’t care to compete with Hu Mei.

In view of the previous Hu Mei a variety of provocative behavior, the general public can not afford to be provoked may agree to take the exam and Hu Mei to fight, hard lesson Hu Mei what is the sky high and thick.

Even if you don’t fight with Hu Mei, those who can’t stand the breath will say something angry, something like pitying Hu Mei, having a better chance themselves, giving the chance to Hu Mei.

For example, Lu Nong could say, “After thinking it over, I won’t fight with Comrade Hu Mei, she needs the job as an elementary school teacher more than I do, and I’ve decided to enlist for a job in the army’s propaganda department first.”

Don’t look down on the sentence that Lu Neng hid in the middle, saying and not saying, in fact, is the difference between directly pointing to understand and implicitly pointing to understand.

Directly point to understand that although out of a bad breath to let Hu Mei down, but the words always express a high and mighty posture.

Save this sentence, a little more subtle, but the meaning is almost the same, not only shows that do not care to fight with Hu Mei, the attitude is not too high to look down on people.

Of course, I’ve gotten rid of my anger.

If Lu Nong really wanted to save Hu Mei’s face, she could have said nothing and not mentioned about going to the Propaganda Department, although she might be ridiculed for a few days, but when Lu Nong really worked in the Propaganda Department, all the rumors would go away.

Definitely a few days of idle anger though.

Therefore, in the opinion of Director Leng, Lu Nong “degree” pinpointed exceptionally accurate, not only out of the gas, but also convincing, the gesture is just right.

Just look at her after she said these words, both so that did not understand Lu Nong wit Liu Erniu full of worship convinced, but also let her, Wang Xiuzhi two people who understand the wit or appreciate or more respect.

When things see character, Lu Nong took the lead to give way to see her bright, generous, not aggressive; but in the face of Hu Mei’s small-minded, she will show the sharpness, but not too weak to give way.

Enough to see her high level, handling a sensible and calm, cold director exclaimed, Hu Mei and her than, high and low immediately see, Pei Silk An has this daughter-in-law, such as a tiger to add wings ah.

And Hummel?

Rationally Hu Mei clear Lu Nong said I’m afraid are true, the propaganda department director Zhou personally came to invite her to work in the propaganda department, who dares to lie in this kind of thing? Go out and ask around to find out.

But emotionally she can’t accept, she can’t accept that she not only lost to Lu Nong on the job, even the character has lost, Director Leng can’t hide his admiration for Lu Nong, Liu Erniu and Wang Xiuzhi’s admiration for Lu Nong, all of them are not piercing her heart sore eyes red.

Hu Mei inwardly expected Lu Nu to lie.

Finally, Director Leng came out and said, “What are you apologizing for? Why didn’t Xiao Lu say that Lao Zhou had looked for you earlier? If I had known that you had the talent to enter the Propaganda Department, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to introduce you to a job, and it’s good to know that there’s even more room to play in the Propaganda Department, so do a good job.”

“I understand Director Leng.” Lu Nong agreed with a smile.

Director Leng looked at his watch, looked up and asked Liu Erniu and the others, “It’s getting late, I’m in a hurry to go home and cook for Xianglan and Xiaopeng, what about you guys? Go back together or stay here with Xiao Zhou to talk some more?”

Liu Erniu and Wang Xiuzhi looked at each other and said that they would follow along, Hu Mei’s face hadn’t slowed down yet, she preferred not to stay in the Pei family.

“No stay, the kids at home are hungry, go back and cook for the little grandparents.”

Several people walked out of Pei’s house, Director Leng and the other three had different paths and went to the fork in the road to go their separate ways, leaving Liu Erniu, Wang Xiuzi and Hu Mei.

The atmosphere was silent and awkward.

Hu Mei this time to do things too much, relying on the momentum of Director Leng, even the face of the wife of the deputy division commander dared to go down, although Director Leng did not say, but she is not without a scale in her heart, people are not unaware that they are being used by Hu Mei.

Didn’t you see Director Leng give Hu Mei a special look before we parted?

To Wang Xiuzhi, that glance was called “Be careful”.

Also, everyone knows that they are on good terms with Hu Mei, and Hu Mei is still making things difficult for Lu Nu when they are present, so if Lu Nu misunderstands that the three of them are working together to make things worse, won’t she and Liu Erniu take the blame for nothing?

Thinking about it, Wang Xiuzhi shuddered, made up his mind to stay away from Hu Mei in the future, otherwise it may be sold one day still helping to count the money.

Liu Erniu, who had the best relationship with Hu Mei, also fell silent, and tried to speak several times but couldn’t open her mouth.

Her brain is not as good as Wang Xiuzhi’s and Hu Mei’s, but she knows what’s good and what’s bad, and she can always tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Just now, she could not see anything else, she saw Hu Mei several times to say strange things to do strange things on the face of the face of the villain even she looked at her want to hit her, angry individual.

What about Comrade Lu Nu? Tolerant and generous. She was so blind before, thinking Hu Mei was a good person.

Hu Mei was still immersed in her own emotions and didn’t even see Director Leng’s eyes as he left, not noticing Liu Erniu’s and Wang Xiuzhi’s strangeness herself, she couldn’t help but be indignant when Director Leng left, “I’d like to see if this deputy division chief daughter-in-law of ours is telling the truth or lying.”

“Just wait, if Lu Nong doesn’t get into the Propaganda Department after New Year’s Eve, it’ll be a big joke.”

There are only a few days left before the New Year, and Hu Mei Ben is also planning to go to the elementary school for a second interview after the New Year.

Liu Erniu couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “You’ll stop for a while, what is Comrade Lu doing cheating you?”

“Look at you jumping up and down these days, you have to get on the wrong side of Comrade Lu, so what? What’s wrong? What do you want?”

Liu Erniu could not understand, Wang Xiuzhi could largely understand Hu Mei’s psychology, today this seems to be robbing the work, the root is still in the Pei deputy division commander.

Vice Division Commander Pei parachuted in and stole Hu Mei’s husband’s promotion opportunity, Hu Mei couldn’t be the wife of the Vice Division Commander, and the new wife of the Vice Division Commander looked so many years younger than Hu Mei.

Hummel can serve?

Designated can’t, she can’t swallow this breath, everywhere she wants to be different from Lu Nong.

Even can not help but test Lu Nong, suppress Lu Nong, in case Lu Nong character is weak, the momentum over her, Lu Nong, the deputy division commander’s wife hollow ……

The abacus is loud, but unfortunately Lu Nong is not a good bully, take this matter for example.

Hu Mei wanted to make Lu Nong shameless, but she was turned back by Lu Nong, causing Hu Mei to lose Director Leng’s trust and creating a rift of suspicion between the three of them, and the friendship is no longer there.

Hume doesn’t realize until now that he’s lost his heart.

I really can not play with the culture of mind, move the real, people play you to death, or all innocent, who listened to today’s events, but also to praise her a open-minded.

That’s what her family’s mouth says every day. What’s it called?

Masquerade.

Yes, it’s a phallic conspiracy.

Wang Xiuzhi look at the relationship in the past few years and is a neighbor on the part, in the end persuaded Hu Mei a sentence, “small Hu, think don’t mess with Comrade Lu, arm can’t argue with the thighs, the old Song thing has become a foregone conclusion, and then mess with the meaning of what?”

Hu Mei, however, did not appreciate it and became irritated, “Good, I see, you two are now starting to flatter Lu Nong and turn your guns towards me to have a seizure?”

“I jumped up and down, I made a scene, didn’t you guys see Lu Nu give my job to Director Leng as soon as she arrived?”

Liu Erniu was exasperated by Hu Mei’s righteousness, “Then how did it become yours? Didn’t you fail the exam? There’s nothing wrong with Director Leng letting Lu Nu try?”

Hu Mei determined that Liu Erniu and Wang Xiuzi turned to Lu Nong camp, did not help herself when she was in Pei’s house, but pulled her back, and then came to blame her when she was out of Pei’s house.

Hu Mei clenched her fists and twisted her head, leaving Liu Erniu and Wang Xiuzhi where they were.

“What kind of person?” Liu Erniu’s chest ached with anger, “If I advise her one more time in the future, I’ll be trampled to death by my mother-in-law.”

Wang Xiuzhi: “……” There’s no need to take this kind of oath.

When Director Leng over there returned home, he thought left and right, and couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Lu Nu reversing the situation with a single sentence.

This Xiao Lu, too, is a little bit narrow-minded, and Hu Mei is not her opponent at all.

“Mom, what’s so funny?” Director Leng’s daughter Li Li asked her curiously, and her son Li Ke, who was reading the newspaper on the side, couldn’t help but look at his mother.

Director Leng smiled and said what happened at Pei’s house, making Li Li more and more curious about Lu Nong, just know Lu Nong looks good, listen to her mother so, Lu Nong character is also good, is a handful of objects.

It is Li Ke listening and cold director and the same laugh shook his head, said a sentence, “know the world but not the world, the calendar smooth and 弥 naive.”

Director Leng nodded his head in praise of his son’s evaluation, “What a delightful and intelligent man, Pei Jingan has earned it.”

“What are you guys playing dumb?” Li Li looked at her own mother and then at her brother.

Li Ke shrugged his shoulders, cold director point Li Li’s forehead, “let you read more, you just do not listen, Xianglan can not learn you in the future, she loves to learn, you are not allowed to let her take Xiaopeng again, hear me?”

Li Li was read by her own mother’s head is big, “Girls study what is the use? In the future, you can marry a good husband and live a good life, don’t you see that I’m doing well now?”

Director Leng frowned, “It’s your father you’re living well off of.”

“Yes, whether a woman is doing well or not in the end is not rely on her own father and brother, what’s the use of studying, even the college entrance exams have stopped.” Li Li has her own reasoning.

Director Leng choked, heart sigh, daughter than the son was born more than ten years ago, she was a child when the country beacon, the war years, the couple was afraid of the daughter followed them to suffer, so she put her in the old family to raise.

Who knows that when the country is peaceful to take back, the child thought by the old family patriarchal, women study useless that set of rhetoric influence, do not love to study and do not get ahead.

They couple because of their daughter’s guilt, discipline up to the hand and foot, to the end of the daughter completely unable to pull over, the oldest not young, still can not read a few words.

She had no choice but to find her an honest husband, hoping that she would be safe and secure for the rest of her life.

Changing her daughter’s mind is impossible today, but she can’t let her daughter hold back her granddaughter.

Director Leng hard heart, cold face, said, “you can rely on your father to live well, your daughter can also rely on her father all her life?”

Li Li snapped, her husband on the honesty of the point, but if you compare him and her father, even a small thumb compared.

“That’s not what you guys picked for me, now you think that people are not capable,” Li Li muttered and complained, and then said, “We Xianglan will rely on her brother, rely on Xiaopeng in the future.”

Director Cold mocked her, “You have a brother too, ask your brother if he lets you lean on him.”

Li Li glares at Li Ke, telling him to say something nice.

Li Ke old God, a serious to Li Li said, “You are not always the grandmother’s old words out to say? The old saying says, marrying out of the daughter splashing out of the water, I am going to support my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, don’t you hit me.”

Li Li was so angry that she picked up a book and threw it at Li Ke.

“After talking for half a day, isn’t it just that you want Xiang Lan to study?” Li Li said unconvincingly, “Didn’t mom say that Lu Nong was a smart person? How many years has she studied? Why don’t you tell me?”

Director Leng froze, she really didn’t know what Lu Nong’s education was, and she had forgotten to inquire earlier.

Li Li laughed smugly at the situation, “Mom herself doesn’t know, but also take her to say items and squeeze me. Maybe people haven’t read a single book and are naturally smart.”

“You wait, I’ll call right now,” Director Leng, exasperated by his awful daughter, got a headache and picked up the phone to call the personnel department, “Hello, Lao Zhang? I’d like to ask about Lu Nong, that’s Vice Division Commander Pei’s wife Lu Nong’s file ……”

Lu Nu’s identity file was not top secret, at the very least, people at Director Leng’s level were qualified to know.

“Okay, I’ll wait here, uh-huh, for you, please old Chang.”

Director Leng put down the phone and said to his daughter in a good-natured manner, “Just wait, we’ll know in a moment whether reading is useful or not.”

Li Li, Li Ke no longer laughing and joking, stop the work at hand, quietly waiting for the phone call.

After a while, the phone rang.

Li Li picked up the phone before Director Leng, and she said in a mouthful, “I’m afraid you’re cheating.”

Director Leng rolled his eyes.

“Hey, Uncle Zhang, my mom is next to me, go ahead, I’m listening for her, okay, go ahead.”

After listening for a long time, Li Li’s mouth was wide open, too shocked to speak.

On the side, Director Leng asked, “How’s it going? In the end what?”

Li Li and Director Leng, wide-eyed, closed their mouths and shut themselves up.

“This kid,” Director Leng took the phone, “Hey, Lao Zhang, it’s me, say that again, uh-huh, I’m listening, yeah, just the education.”

“Comrade Lu Nong university degree, graduated from the Department of History at Peking University, marvelous yo, the file records that she was fourteen years old to enter Peking University, and then do not know what the reason for taking a break from school until last year to complete her studies.”

“And ah ……”

Director Leng froze after hearing, she can be sure that Lu Nong must have read books, but did not expect such a high degree of education, scared her, now think about it, she let people go to work as an elementary school teacher simply yielded great talent.

No wonder Lu Nong doesn’t compete with Hu Mei, it’s only a fall out if he does.

Li Ke see pro mom and pro sister after listening to the phone is not a happy reaction, this is not right ah, he shallow frowned, “in the end what education?”

Li Li sleepwalking like said, “Beida graduated, said what a genius …… seems to read really a bit of use ha, at least young to marry the deputy division chief.”

Li Ke: “……” the words in front of the right, the words behind the wrong flavor, he this bad sister yo.

******

The Pei family.

Director Leng four people left, Lu Nong collapsed on the sofa, today’s mouth are boasted out, the work of the Ministry of Propaganda is not to go also have to go.

Painful loss of a touchy-feely life.

Lu Nu was sighing over the imminent passing of his leisure time when the shout of a communications soldier came from outside the door, “Auntie Wu, a letter from your house.”

Lu Nu got up and came to the door, the communication soldier handed Lu Nu the letter with a red face, got on his bike and ran away.

There were two letters in total, one from the capital city and one from the army, with no signed address.

Lu Nong’s heart moved, first opened the letter stamped with the seal of the army, and it was really sent by Pei Yinan.

The content of the letter is brief and concise, is a letter of peace, without too much elaboration, only that he is now well, so that the family do not miss, do not have to reply to the letter.

In just a few hundred words, Lu Nong read it many times, and after reading it, he couldn’t help but pick up a pen to write a reply.

Lu Nong wrote out a brain of the interesting and aggravating things that he had recently encountered, and after writing it, he was disillusioned, and the letter could not be sent out.

She shoved the letter carelessly into a book on the shelf.

Then open the envelope of Pei Zheng in the capital city, is a good news, Pei Zheng that boy graduated early, has departed from the capital city, counting the days almost to the army.

Lu Nu: !

Awesome, Pei Xiao Zheng, graduating at the drop of a hat.

Beyond the mountains, Pei Zheng limped along the countryside road carrying his luggage.

Unlucky Pei Zheng sat in the car broke down, fellow townspeople often encounter this kind of thing, looking for the ticket collector to get back to the ticket money without saying anything, carrying luggage off the leg to go home.

Pei Zheng was kicked off the bus by the conductor and driver.

He had to ask the townspeople about the final stop of the bus to the garrison, and then legged it along with the others, carrying his luggage.

Walking and walking everyone separated, to the point where only Pei Zheng was left alone on this road, and there were still more than ten miles from the final station in the old folks’ mouths.

The house was raining, and I accidentally tripped over a mud puddle and fell on my ass.

Pei Zheng sighed, if only he had a car.

As he was thinking, suddenly a donkey cart came not far away and walked towards Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng: “…… “Is it okay to wish for a car now?

The donkey cart was also enough of a surprise, and when the donkey cart approached, Pei Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, “Old folks, can you give me a ride?”

An old farmer came down from the donkey cart, who could speak a little Mandarin. Seeing Pei Zheng carrying a big bag and panting, he couldn’t bear to refuse him and said, “Young man, where are you going? We’re going to the Yushui brigade, and we can’t pull you if we’re not on the way.”

“The troops stationed here, old master, do you see a way in?” Pei Zheng said.

Old Farmer: “Coincidentally go in one direction, then you put things on the car, people go up to sit for a while to rest and rest down, there are a few young girls in the car miles.”

Pei Zheng had noticed a few girls on the donkey cart earlier, but didn’t take a closer look, and when he heard the old man say it, he immediately nodded his head in agreement, “Don’t worry, I won’t be riding in the car, just put my luggage in the car.”

“OK, put it up.” The old farmer said.

Pei Zheng put his luggage onto the donkey cart, and he didn’t notice the dark flashes of sharpness in the eyes of a few girls when they saw him.
