Chapter 113

The next day, Ruan Qiqi got up early and took a walk around the Mo family. She learned what happened in the Mo family last night. During lunch, she told Lu Ye excitedly.

“Mo Congrong was scolded by your stepfather last night and left hungry. Your mother knew that her beloved stepson was a scheming dog. She was sad all night, but your stepfather didn’t comfort her and slept on the sofa!”

“They won’t get divorced, right?”

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of duck meat to chew, wishing that the couple would get divorced.

To be honest, he felt that Yuan Huilan was not worthy of Mo Qiufeng.

Because when Mo Qiufeng was at home, he had a better life. He could eat well and didn’t have to be punished. Moreover, Mo Qiufeng would bring him gifts when he came back from a business trip, and the same was true for the three children.

Even if Mo Qiufeng was pretending, Lu Ye would appreciate it.

Because his biological mother Yuan Huilan didn’t even pretend.

“I definitely won’t divorce you. Your stepfather is more cunning than honeycomb coal. Your mother’s stupid head is the best. Eat less. There will be dumplings tonight. There are 200 of them!”

Ruan Qiqi was very sure that Mo Qiufeng would not divorce. She learned from Lu Ye that this old fox’s past was actually from intelligence. He was able to get away with it after lurking for more than ten years. If he didn’t have many cunning, he would definitely not survive.

A simple-minded woman like Yuan Huilan who has a little culture is what Mo Qiufeng needs. The more cunning people are, the more they like simple things.

“Eat it now and digest it in the evening. This blood duck is really delicious. Qiqi, everything you cook is delicious.”

Lu Ye likes today’s blood duck very much. It goes well with rice. He has eaten three bowls and is about to get the fourth bowl. He also praises his wife.

Yongzhou Blood Duck

“If you like it, I’ll make it next time.”

Ruan Qiqi smiled and picked up the duck meat for him. Although she didn’t like cooking very much, Lu Ye would praise her. Every time he praised her, she was very happy, and cooking became a very pleasant thing.

Lu Ye finished eating a large plate of blood duck. He took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up the stove.

Just after he finished cleaning up, he heard a phone call downstairs, “Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, the political commissar is looking for you!”

“It must be dumplings!”

Ruan Qiqi guessed.

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up, he wiped his hands, and jumped down from the third floor.

A few minutes later, his voice came from downstairs: “I’m going to get dumplings!”

“Go!”

Ruan Qiqi leaned on the railing and responded with a smile. Watching Lu Ye riding his bike left and right, as happy as a child, her smile deepened, but she felt more pity in her heart.

Although her Lu Ye was always disobedient and unfilial, he would still be as happy as a child when he knew that it was Yuan Huilan who made the dumplings.

In fact, in her man’s heart, he has always been craving for parental love. Even if it’s just a little bit, it will make her Lu Ye happy for a long time.

Lu Ye came back an hour later, carrying a large basket of dumplings, but his face was a little ugly, not as happy as when he left.

“What’s wrong?”

Ruan Qiqi asked.

“My mother was here too, she said she had wronged me before.”

Lu Ye’s tone was awkward. Yuan Huilan either looked coldly at him or blamed him. He was not used to her sudden softening of attitude, and even felt a little annoyed.

“Didn’t she say sorry to you?”

“No, she just said she had wronged me.”

Lu Ye shook his head.

Ruan Qiqi sneered. Yuan Huilan was still so high and mighty. Compared to her, Lu Desheng was much better than her.

At least Lu Desheng gave him 10,000 yuan in real money and knew how to reflect on himself. Yuan Huilan just said she had wronged me and wanted Lu Ye to let it go. It was a beautiful thought!

“She didn’t even say sorry. Let her continue to make dumplings. There are still nine meals, 1,800 dumplings. Unless she is like your father, she will take out 10,000 yuan to barely cover these nine meals of dumplings!”

Ruan Qiqi was very frank in her pillow talk. She would never let Lu Ye forgive Yuan Huilan!

Why!

“That’s right. Not only do they not say sorry, but

they also don’t pay. They are worse than the old man!” Lu Ye nodded vigorously. He thought so too.

And even if Yuan Huilan said sorry, she couldn’t avoid nine meals of

dumplings. Wang Xizhi’s words are worth a thousand gold. His mother only said three words. How can they be worth nine meals of dumplings?

The couple understood each other’s minds. After a very pleasant communication, they began to enjoy the dumplings.

“Not as delicious as the ones made by Captain Peng’s guests.”

Lu Ye ate a few and gave a bad review.

He preferred the ones made by Wang Shuhua, but even if he gave a bad review, he would finish them.

“When will the clerk for your promotion to deputy regiment commander come down?” Ruan Qiqi asked.

“Director Mu said next month, or it may be early.”

Lu Ye felt that the chance of early promotion was greater. A group of cadres would be promoted every spring. Captain Peng and Captain Zhou were both reported, so he would probably come down earlier as the clerk for the deputy regiment commander to vacate the position of deputy battalion commander.

Second floor.

Captain Zhou’s family was also discussing the promotion of cadres.

“It should be no problem. I have arranged it.” Captain Zhou was confident.

“Captain Peng has no chance again this time?”

Shang Lehua looked gloating. She had always looked down on Wang Shuhua. Recently, she found out that this woman was in cahoots with Lu Ye and his wife. She hated her and wished that Captain Peng would not be promoted and would go back to the small county town as soon as possible.

“He has no chance. If he can’t be promoted again this time, he will have to retire and go home!”

Captain Zhou said with disdain. He and Captain Peng were of similar age and had similar qualifications, but his popularity and ability were not as good as Captain Peng’s. However, he had a cousin who was a regiment commander in the military region. He was able to become a company commander because of his cousin’s relationship.

First floor.

Captain Peng and his wife were worried and had no appetite.

“Captain Zhou has an uncle who is a regiment commander. I heard from Shang Lehua.” Wang Shuhua was worried.

If he couldn’t be promoted again this time, her husband might really have to retire and go back to his hometown, and she and her children would still not be able to eat commercial grain.

“Have faith in the organization and stop imagining things!”

Captain Peng tried to comfort his wife, but he was still worried.

“Don’t think about it. Eat your food. I don’t know who was promoted to deputy regiment commander this time?”

Wang Shuhua picked up some food for him and changed the subject with a forced smile.

“I don’t know. The promotion documents haven’t come down yet. It’s probably just those few people.”

Captain Peng sounded very envious, and even boldly fantasized that he might become the deputy regiment commander one day!

The day before Ruan Qiqi reported to the winery, Lu Ye’s promotion document was issued, and he officially took office as the deputy regiment commander. He quickly completed the work handover and his vacation was over. On the first day of work, he received a meeting notice to discuss the promotion of Captain Peng and Captain Zhou.

The meeting was chaired by the regiment political commissar, and the participants were more than ten regiment-level cadres, including Lu Ye.

“I think Captain Zhou is good, he has courage, ability, and high awareness.”

“I also choose Captain Zhou.”

…

Five or six people in a row chose Captain Zhou, and only two chose Captain Peng. Lu Ye didn’t speak the whole time, sitting there with his legs and swords folded.

“Deputy Captain Lu, what do you think?” asked the regiment political commissar.

“Captain Zhou can’t even manage his relatives, how can he lead a battalion of soldiers? Captain Peng is very good, I choose him!”

When Lu Ye mentioned Captain Zhou, he sneered with disdain, but when he mentioned Captain Peng, his tone was very admiring.

Everyone secretly complained, everyone knew that this crazy Lu had made a big fuss in the family building a while ago, and Captain Zhou and his wife were the biggest victims.

“Let’s express our opinions, raise your hands if you vote for Captain Zhou!” As soon as the regiment political commissar finished speaking, seven or eight people wanted to raise their hands.

Lu Ye suddenly stood up, leaned close to the ear of the deputy political commissar on the left, and whispered: “Does your cousin know that you have a private money of about a hundred yuan hidden in the shoe cabinet?”

The deputy political commissar’s face changed slightly, and his raised hand slowly fell down.

Lu Ye whispered to a deputy regiment commander on the right: “Does your cousin know that you arranged a job for your old lover?”

The deputy regiment commander’s hand also quietly dropped.

“Does Deputy Regiment Commander Liu know that you and his cousin were dating before?”

“You named your child Sinan. Does your cousin know that your old lover’s name has the word Nan in it?”

…

Lu Ye whispered to several people in a row. The whole place was silent. Everyone’s hands were firmly placed on the table, and no one raised their hands.

“Raise your hands if you vote for Captain Peng!” the regiment political commissar shouted.

No one moved.

Lu Ye raised his hand high and coughed heavily. His sharp eyes swept around. Everyone was startled and raised their hands hurriedly, and raised them very high.
