Chapter 81

“Mo Jinsong and Mo Congrong are much more sinister, and they are also very good at flattering.”

Lu Ye talked about Mo Qiufeng’s two sons. The eldest is Mo Jinsong, 30 years old, married with children, and serves as a regiment political commissar in the Jiangcheng Military Region. His rank is higher than Lu Ye.

The second is Mo Congrong, 26 years old, and is the deputy secretary of the Tanzhoucheng State-owned Arsenal. Liu Hongbo also worked in this factory before, but was fired after the incident.

“Mo Jinsong used to be Mo Tingtao, and Mo Congrong was Mo Zhenlang. They were given by Mo Qiufeng. When they were teenagers, they changed their names to their current names.” Lu Ye mocked.

In his opinion, the two brothers have ulterior motives and have been used to using this method to please adults since they were young.

“Look at the pine trees in the dusk, and still calm when the clouds fly across?”

Ruan Qiqi asked back. This poem is from the Quotations.

“Yes!”

Lu Ye nodded.

Ruan Qiqi tutted, “You two stepbrothers have quite a lot of ideas!”

They are good at flattering, ambitious, capable, and have a good family background. No wonder the two brothers are doing well, much better than the Lu Jiefang brothers.

As expected, it depends on genes. Lu Desheng is stupid, and his son is not smart either. Lu Ye is purely an accident. He is a man with adventures and cannot be compared with ordinary people.

“They have a lot of ideas. Let’s go buy groceries!”

Lu Ye sneered. He neither hates nor likes the Lu Jiefang brothers, but he hates the Mo Jinsong brothers. But now he is relieved.

Because he has Qiqi and his own family, he will definitely live better than Mo Jinsong and Mo Congrong in the future. He didn’t forgive them, he just didn’t want to care about it.

But if he saw these two people, he would still not be polite!

The two went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables. After Lu Ye went home and put down the vegetables, he went out again and ran to the mountain to catch a fat wild rabbit and a pheasant. He was frugal in life and would never spend money on meat that could be caught from the mountain.

Ruan Qiqi showed off her skills and made several hard dishes.

Stir-fried meat with chopped pepper, stir-fried vermicelli with pickled cabbage, stir-fried dried fish with spicy sauce, golden eggs, stir-fried bacon with pig blood cake, steamed pork with rice flour, Sanhe soup, plus spicy rabbit meat and pheasant soup, and finally she made a mixed dish.

This is a specialty dish from her hometown. It must be included in banquets. It is made with day lily, vermicelli, fungus, dried bamboo shoots, chicken soup and other ingredients. It is very delicious. When Ruan Qiqi went to a banquet, her favorite was snowflake meatballs and mixed dishes. Later, she figured out how to make it herself. Practice makes perfect, and the mixed dishes she made tasted quite good.

Golden money eggs, delicious stir-fried vermicelli with pickled cabbage, and Lu Ye helped by picking, washing, and cutting vegetables. The two worked affectionately, attracting the attention of many military wives.

Everyone was amazed that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, who had such a bad temper, would actually help his wife with work, and did it so well. Ruan Qiqi asked him to go east, but he didn’t go west. He was so obedient.

Unlike the men in their family, they were too lazy to grow hair, and they wouldn’t help the broom when it fell, let alone cook. They were lazy men who refused to help pick green onions.

Several military wives came over to greet them, and Ruan Qiqi was also very easy to talk to, talking and laughing with them.

Knowing that the commander and the political commissar would come to dinner in the evening, the military wives were even more envious. His biological father was the commander, his stepfather was the political commissar, and the two largest men in the military region were from Deputy Battalion Commander Lu’s family. No wonder he had such a bad temper and didn’t sell anyone’s face!

They also envied Ruan Qiqi for marrying such a good husband’s family. The man was handsome, capable, had a good family background, and was obedient. The more the military wives thought about it, the more envious they became.

The sky gradually darkened. Ruan Qiqi looked at her watch. It was five o’clock.

She said to Lu Ye, who was eating rabbit meat secretly, “Go downstairs to greet her!”

Lu Ye almost choked when he stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth. He ate it in two or three bites. The dishes made by his wife were really delicious. He could finish this big pot of rabbit meat by himself.

“It’s not like they don’t have legs.”

Lu Ye was unwilling to go.

Ruan Qiqi didn’t say anything either. She looked at him quietly. Lu Ye’s expression became embarrassed. He said obediently, “I’ll go!”

He picked up another piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He went downstairs honestly and was very obedient.

The military wives next to him were all very surprised. They thought Ruan Qiqi would be bullied by Lu Ye. Now it seems that this soft and sticky girl is the boss of the house.

Ruan Qiqi looked down from the balcony. Lu Ye was standing below, kicking the stones on the ground impatiently. She smiled, rearranged the rabbit meat that she had eaten a lot, and brought it to the table.

Lu Ye kicked the stones impatiently, but he didn’t dare to go upstairs. If he didn’t meet anyone, Qiqi would definitely be angry.

He looked up for the hundredth time and finally saw a group of people coming from afar. Lu Desheng was in the front, and his expression looked a little unfriendly.

Lin Manyun and Lu Jiefang were behind, followed by Mo Qiufeng and Yuan Huilan. Behind them was a young couple, Mo Congrong and a young woman.

Lu Ye smiled. Another person came to give a red envelope. Today was really a good day.

“Xiao Ye?”

Lu Desheng approached and saw Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. He was so surprised that he forgot to be angry.

It was really rare. This brat actually knew etiquette?

“Qiqi asked me to come down. Hurry up and go up to eat!”

Lu Ye explained awkwardly and turned away.

Lu Desheng looked very relieved. As expected, he still had to marry a wife. He became much more sensible!

He also had a better impression of Ruan Qiqi. Although she was a little crazy, she was still very polite.

“Xiao Ye, long time no see!”

Mo Congrong took the initiative to greet him. He looked a bit like Mo Qiufeng, but lacked his father’s calmness and elegance. Although he also had a gentle and handsome appearance, his eyes were sharp and his ambition could be seen at a glance.

“It’s just right that you came. I’m getting married. Have you prepared the red envelope?”

Lu Ye was too lazy to play along with him and asked for the red envelope directly.

“I will definitely give you a red envelope when you get married. Congratulations!”

Mo Congrong smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket. He had prepared it before coming.

“Your partner?”

Lu Ye took the red envelope and glanced at the woman next to him. She had short hair, dressed very old-fashioned, and always had a stern face and a very serious expression. She looked like she could be Mo Congrong’s mother!

“My partner, Zhang Weihong, is the director of the propaganda department of my unit. She is more capable than me!”

Mo Congrong introduced his partner. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the one he chose.

Zhang Weihong stretched out her hand, “Hello, congratulations on finding a revolutionary partner!”

The tone of her voice was also very serious, which reminded Lu Ye of his homeroom teacher when he was in school. His palms couldn’t help but itch a little. That old lady loved to hit his palms the most.

“Thank you, let’s go upstairs to eat!”

Lu Ye shook hands perfunctorily and led them upstairs.

Lin Manyun followed behind, her eyes becoming more and more resentful. She would ask why Jiefang was beaten so badly in a while.

Let’s see what Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi have to say this time!

Lu Ye deliberately slowed down a step, walked to Mo Congrong, lowered his head and whispered in his ear teasingly: “Yuan Huilan’s motherly love for you is not enough?”

Mo Congrong was stunned for a moment, didn’t react to what he meant, and looked up at him.

“Otherwise, how can you find a mother?”

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he stepped on three steps at a time and walked away with a smile.

Mo Congrong’s gentle face froze, clenched his teeth, and a surge of anger blocked his heart. Damn it, he couldn’t even curse back.
