Chapter 151： The obsession that can’t be let go

Chapter 151 The obsession that can’t be let go

Lu Xu glanced at his wife with a smile and couldn't help but expose her, "It's your sister-in-law who is greedy for the food you cooked, so she coaxed her parents to buy the food."

“Okay, I’ll do it in a moment.” Ning Xi agreed with a smile and directed Lu Bei to sort out everyone’s clothes and send them into the house.

Since Lu Xu and his family came over, Ning Xi had to postpone the meeting plan until later. The women went to the kitchen to start preparing the evening meal.

As night falls, the workers leave the workshop one after another, and delicacies are served on the table. Two tables are set up in the huge hall, with men sitting on one table and women and children sitting on the other.

As soon as it was served, Ning Xiuhe put a few pieces of fish in a bowl and carefully picked out the fish bones. Wang Xiuqin told her that Ning Xi didn't like to eat fish, and Lu Nan always helped her pick out the fish bones before she would eat them. , in order to let her daughter eat fish, Ning Xiuhe was willing to pick a fight.

At the other table, Lu Xu, Lu He, Lu Zhenghua, and Zhou Tong also picked up fish and concentrated on picking fish. At first, when Zhou Tong brought Xu Ailing to the Lu family for dinner, he was almost shocked by the men in the Lu family.

It’s outrageous to pick out fish bones for your own women as soon as the food is served. Men should eat meat and drink wine as soon as the food is served, so how can they care about picking out fish bones?

After going back and forth several times, all the men in the Lu family looked like that. Zhou Tong couldn't sit still and started to work as a picker. Forget it, the boss of his family had become a picker. He had to follow his footsteps and become a picker. A happy picker, only in this way can the family be harmonious and happier.

Ning Xiuhe put the fish meat with picked fish bones into Ning Xi's bowl.

“Mom is the best, thank you dear mother.” Ning Xi leaned over and gave Ning Xiuhe a kiss on the face.

“Haha! You’re so silly, eat it quickly.” Ning Xiuhe smiled with satisfaction, looking at Ning Xi with eyes full of endearment.

Zhou Hui pretended to be sad and sighed, "Alas! Our Xiaonan doesn't have such treatment."

As a loyal follower of her mother-in-law, Chen Jing immediately followed Zhou Hui's words and said, "No, Xiaonan worked diligently to pick fish bones for Xiao Xi, but she still couldn't get a kiss from Xiao Xi. It's best to say husband."

Ning Xiuhe hurriedly rescued her daughter, "Xi'er remembers how good Xiaonan is to Xi'er! She even learned to knit sweaters from me this morning, saying she wanted to knit a love brand sweater for Xiaonan herself."

“Mom, aunt and sister-in-law are joking.”

Looking at Ning Xiuhe's seriousness, Zhou Hui also smiled and said, "Yes! Xiuhe, we all know whether Xiao Xi has Xiao Nan in her heart."

After finishing the food on the table while chatting and laughing, Lu Bei and the others went out. Ning Xi and the others were about to stand up and go to the yard to continue discussing knitting sweaters.

“Xiao Xi, Yingzi, come here.” Lu Zhenghua called to Ning Xi and Zhang Ying.

“What’s up, uncle?” The two walked over, and Zhang Ying pulled Ning Xi and sat down next to Lu He.

"You are going to open a food factory." Although Ning Xi went to make dinner in the afternoon, Zhou Tong was holding Ning Xi's notepad in the hall to discuss the matter of opening a factory. Lu Zhenghua was also there, so he knew about it.

“Yes.” Ning Xi nodded.

"I bought the land of Zhenghua Garment Factory a few years ago. Your eldest brother wants to move the factory to the city, so that place will no longer be used. I have discussed it with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and that land is I'll give it to you to build a food factory. The place is a bit narrow, and if you buy the nearby farmland, you can build a large factory."

Zhenghua Garment Factory is just outside Yao Township. Lu Xu originally spent money to build a road to facilitate access. It is really inconvenient to run a food factory in that location.

“Uncle, how much does that factory cost...”

"Xiao Xi, if you talk about money, my uncle will be angry." Lu Zhenghua interrupted Ning Xi with a straight face, "As a daughter-in-law, you know how to help your second brother and the others get rid of poverty and become rich, don't I want my nephew How are you doing? Xiaohe, please find a time to go with me to transfer the land to you."

"Uncle..." Lu He wanted to refuse, but Lu Zhenghua did not give him a chance to refuse. "Xiao Xi, don't think too much. The reason why I transferred the land to your second brother but not to Xiaonan is because Xiaonan is not at home now and he It’s best not to have these things in your name if you have a special status.”

“Uncle, you...”

Lu Xu interrupted Ning Xi, "Okay, you can just accept this piece of land with peace of mind. I hope not only for my own good, but also for my brothers. This time I will build a new factory. Basically, all the money in my hand will be spent." I’m in, but your uncle still has money. If he doesn’t have enough money to open a factory, ask your uncle to borrow it.”

Ning Xi opened her mouth, but in the end she did not say any words of rejection and only smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, brother."

Lu Zhenghua nodded with satisfaction, "You should be able to handle the land around Xiao Zhou!"

Zhou Tong smiled and replied, "Uncle, I will talk to the person in charge tomorrow."

"Okay, your eldest brother's factory will be moved to the city next month. You buy the land and build it from the outside first. Don't move the house we live in. We won't take away the furniture when we move out. , then you can add some furniture and you can live there. Xiaohe, you can take your parents and younger siblings over with you then. Your father, the secretary, doesn’t make much money a month and he always offends people. Let him come to the factory to be with your mother. I’ll give you some help and you’ll be able to worry less.”

“Okay.” Lu He nodded in agreement.

When Lu Zhenghai stood up, he went to get a cup and poured himself a glass of wine. "My Xiaoxu is making a difference. Come on, my third uncle will give you a drink."

Lu Xu stood up with a wine glass in his hand, "Third uncle, my nephew, here's to you."

The uncle and nephew had a drink, and Lu Zhenghai got another drink for himself. "Xiao Xu, you have to work hard! Third uncle wishes you a prosperous business and a harmonious family."

“Thank you, uncle.” Lu Xu also poured a glass of wine and drank with Lu Zhenghai.

Lu Zhenghai poured another glass of wine. "Brother, I respect you too. When you move to the city, we brothers will have less time to sit down to eat and drink."

Lu Zhenghua picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Lu Zhenghai, then put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "It won't be less. I and Xiao Xu and the others have agreed that we must come back during the holidays. It's fun when we get together as a family." ”

“I haven’t had a drink with Third Uncle yet! Come on, Third Uncle, I’ll toast you, uncle, I’ll toast you too.” Lu He stood up with the wine glass in hand.

The three of them had a drink, sat down, and started talking about starting a factory.

Lu Zhenghai looked at Lu Xu, "Xiao Xu, your factory has moved here, where are the workers? Are they looking for new workers there?"

“After listening to Xiao Xi’s advice, we built dormitories in the factory. We are doing statistics these days, and most of the workers are still willing to go with us.”

Lu Zhenghai nodded, "That's good. If we recruit all new people, I'm afraid we won't be able to get started for a while."

This night, Lu Zhenghai, who had not drank alcohol for nineteen years, unexpectedly got drunk.

Lu He and Lu Xu helped the person back to the room, Ning Xi brought hot water, and Lu Xu wiped Lu Zhenghai's face with a hot towel.

Lu Zhenghai suddenly grabbed Lu Xu's hand and murmured "Qinqin...Qinqin..." word by word.
