Chapter 106 It's a blessing

This time, Darong's father did not stop talking to her when he saw Darong's red eyes as he did in the past. Instead, he explained to her the principles of the older generation in a serious and solemn manner.

Darong's father's words completely dispelled Darong's idea of ​​submitting a false certificate. After dinner, she went back to the front yard with Zhong Yunxing.

"It's warm in the house, right? I thought you weren't home yet when I got off work, so I lit the stove as soon as I entered the house, thinking you'd be cold when you came back."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Yunxing started to make small talk for Darong.

But Darong still ignored him and sat on the bed and turned on the TV.

Seeing that Darong still refused to pay attention to him, Zhong Yunxing poured half a cup of warm water from the thermos and handed it to Darong.

Although Darong knew her idea was wrong after her father's lecture, her husband said it was not right even though her father said it was okay.

Anyway, it's wrong, and I'm just unhappy no matter what you say to me. Darong is still angry with Zhong Yunxing.

"Bao'er, go persuade your mom and say something nice to dad. Tell your mom what you want to eat and dad will buy it for you. Come here, big darling, give dad a kiss..."

Darong rolled her eyes at the eccentric Zhong Yunxing, pursed her lips and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

The next day, when Darong just arrived at the factory gate, Sibei called her at the door.

"Sibei, why are you here?" Darong asked with some surprise when she saw Sibei next to the flower bed.

"Sister, is my brother-in-law always so stern when he talks to you?" Sibei was in a hurry to go to work and had no time for small talk, so he asked his question directly.

"what?"

Darong was stunned for a moment by Sibei'er's question, and then she realized that it was because Zhong Yunxing talked about his own affairs when he issued a fake certificate last night, and Sibei'er probably had a grudge against Zhong Yunxing.

"No, he usually talks to me nicely. He just didn't agree with me handing in the certificate yesterday, so he was a little anxious."

Darong couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking. This feeling of being loved by family is really a happy one.

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Am I such a coward? How can I let him bully me?"

Sibei looked at Darong's expression carefully, and only after making sure that she was not lying to him did he go to work with peace of mind.

Darong looked at Sibei'er's back and smiled with a little pride.

Darong was not the only one who came up with the trick of inflating the number of months. The next day at work, Sister Zhang, who seemed quite honest on weekdays, was the first to hand in a diagnosis certificate for 8 and a half months.

Pregnant women with big bellies are also a group that everyone pays attention to in the factory, so everyone knows roughly what month of pregnancy each person is in.

After the diagnosis was submitted, Sister Zhang indeed started attending the cadre class that same day, making other pregnant women extremely envious.

The so-called "cadre class" is our current 8-to-5 work system. At that time, Darong and her colleagues had to work twelve hours a day during the production promotion period.

During normal shifts, although they are also 8 hours, they are divided into three shifts: morning, afternoon and night. It is still much more tiring than the "cadre shift" from a.m. to p.m.

Although Darong was also very envious, she did not dare to have such an idea again because of her father's preaching and Zhong Yunxing's opposition.

After working peacefully for a few days, a notice suddenly appeared on the factory bulletin board.

It is said that it was issued by the factory director himself. He slammed the table and made a demand with the people from the Labor Bureau and the Women's Federation, demanding that either he leave or Sister Zhang, who had committed fraud, leave.

The old factory director is an old hero who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies on the battlefield. He has military medals shining on both sides of his chest, but he cannot tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his heart.

Although Sister Zhang, who issued the false certificate, was fired from the factory, Darong's workshop was also criticized for illegally changing the time for pregnant women to get off the bus. Director Lu, as the workshop director, was demoted and had his salary reduced but was kept on duty for observation.

When Darong heard this, she felt scared. Fortunately, she had an upright father and a stubborn husband, otherwise she would have been fired.

Employees like this who are fired for fraud will basically have no chance of ever working in a state-owned factory again.

In those years, due to the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, the recruitment of workers in state-owned factories had already shrunk severely. Once you were fired, you basically had no chance to get this iron rice bowl again.

"Sister-in-law, you're back." As soon as Darong entered the yard after get off work, she saw Zhong Yunhong waiting at the door.

"Erhong? Did you come here after get off work? How long have you been waiting?"

"No, I just arrived. I knew you guys got off work late, so I stayed at the office for a while longer."

When Zhong Yunhong saw Darong coming back, he stood up from the threshold.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Come in."

Not long after Darong and Zhong Yunhong entered the house, Zhong Yunxing also came home from get off work.

"Erhong is here. Please sit down for a while. I'll go help your sister-in-law."

"Hey, brother, go and do your work, no need to call me."

Zhong Yunhong turned on the TV himself and watched TV while waiting for Zhong Yunxing and Darong to cook.

"Is there something wrong with Erhong coming here?" Darong asked Zhong Yunxing in a low voice in the small kitchen.

"There must be something. I'll ask him while we eat. If he doesn't say anything in front of you, you can go sit in the backyard after you finish eating and I'll ask him, okay?"

Darong nodded and continued to cook on the small stove.

Because Zhong Yunhong came today, Darong specially cooked two more dishes and took out half a bottle of wine from the cupboard so that the two brothers could drink it.

"You're coming home, right? Don't let our mom worry." Zhong Yunxing asked after pouring a small glass of white wine for Zhong Yunhong.

"I know. I told my mom before I went to work that I would come to your place for dinner before going back." Zhong Yunhong picked up the wine and took a sip.

After eating a few bites, Zhong Yunxing began to tentatively ask Zhong Yunhong if he had anything to ask him.

Zhong Yunhong didn't intend to do it behind Darong's back, so he spoke directly.

"My mother is angry with me. It's been two or three days. She just ignores me." Zhong Yunhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It turns out that the reason why Mother Zhong agreed so readily to let Zhong Yunxing and Darong move out was because Zhong Yunhong also helped behind the scenes.

Ever since he knew that his eldest brother wanted to move out, he secretly told Zhong's mother that he had a girlfriend, but his unit did not allow him to be allocated a house, so there was no way for him to get married.

When Mother Zhong heard that he had a girlfriend and wanted to get married, she was naturally very happy. At this time, Zhong Yunxing happened to propose the idea of ​​moving out, which just solved Erhong's marriage problem.

So Mother Zhong agreed to let them move out without saying a word.

But who knew that Zhong Yunhong's lie was exposed. Although Zhong's mother was angry, she could do nothing about it with her son, so she had to quickly find someone to find a partner for Zhong Yunhong.

For some reason, Mother Zhong fell in love with this guy she met two days ago at first sight, but Zhong Yunhong was not very willing. Adding these two factors together, Mother Zhong was really angry.
