After her grandmother patiently explained, Qi Nian'an finally understood, "Oh~ so I can only get married, but I can't get married out?"

"Yes."

Shen Fenghua was very happy to be back today. Before the two children went to school, Shen Fenghua instructed Qi Ye to open a can of food.

I blindly chose a yellow peach.

Pour the canned food into a large, white porcelain bowl. The golden canned food looks so appealing.

"Wow~ Mom, are we going to eat it all at once?" Qi Nianping hesitated. Was this a bit too wasteful for their family?

“Yes!” Shen Fenghua said matter-of-factly. There were still plenty left at home, so they had to eat their fill at once. “Eat up, what are you doing just watching?”

Shen Fenghua handed out chopsticks one by one. After taking the chopsticks, Qi Nianping still hesitated a bit, "Mom, the weather isn't too hot now. Even if the canned food is opened, it can still last for two more days."

Shen Fenghua: "Such a stingy way of doing things," she teased Qi Nianping while using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of yellow peach, handing it to him, and then saying to Nian'an: "Don't listen to your brother, listen to your mother, eat quickly, after you finish eating, we should go to school or work."

Watching Qi Nianping eat yellow peaches, Shen Fenghua joked, "You can't be called the housekeeper anymore, otherwise I'll even take away two cans of fruit."

Qi Nianping blushed slightly at what was said.

Shen Fenghua understood Qi Nianping's concerns, but all of this should not have happened in the first place.

Since she was in a good mood, Shen Fenghua said frankly, "You two are both grown up now, and you remember things when you come home. I am indeed not your biological mother, but since you called me 'Mom' for a day, I have to take responsibility for that day and eat and drink as usual."

Shen Fenghua finally reassured the two children.

She acts solely according to her conscience, saying, "As long as you don't want to leave, this will always be your home, and I will always be your mother."

Of course, if the two kids turn out to be ungrateful, then she'll just consider herself blind and let it go after all her efforts were in vain.

The two children were moved to tears. "You're our only mother. After she ran off with our father's compensation money and abandoned us, we've just treated ourselves like orphans without a mother..."

Shen Fenghua was also feeling bad. She didn't have parents to love her when she was a child, and seeing the two children now reminded her of her own childhood.

So, I guess I've been through the rain myself, and that's why I want to hold an umbrella for other children.

"Alright, I'm just telling you, eat and drink as you please, your parents can afford it, I'm not telling you to cry."

After wiping away the children's tears, they continued to share the canned food. The rest was put into a bucket and lowered down the well, since food soaked in well water was quite delicious.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went about their own business. Shen Fenghua and Qi Ye each took a car and drove their two children to school.

On the way, Shen Fenghua said to Qi Ye, "I want to see what the procurement department's procedures are like first."

“Okay, I support you,” Qi Ye said calmly, without any objection. He just looked at Shen Fenghua and added, “Be careful in everything and take good care of your health.”

As the autumn breeze blew, Shen Fenghua smiled faintly, a smile radiating confidence. "Don't worry, I'll definitely be careful."

After dropping the child off at school and watching Qi Ye head towards the military region, Shen Fenghua turned the car around and returned to the steel plant.

She didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the purchasing department to find He Tiantian.

He Tiantian was feeling listless at the moment, but when she saw Shen Fenghua, her eyes inevitably lit up. "Fenghua, why are you here at this time?"

What do you think?

Seeing Shen Fenghua's beaming face, He Tiantian felt overwhelmed by the immense joy. She gripped Shen Fenghua's hand, choking back tears and unable to speak.

"Really, thank you, Fenghua. I never expected you to help me like this..."

It's obvious which official is more powerful: the head of the procurement department or the deputy director of the publicity department.

"Alright, let's call it a win-win situation," Shen Fenghua said, not minding to curry favor. On the surface, Shen Fenghua was at a disadvantage, since being demoted meant she would earn about ten yuan less a month.

But the implications behind this are far beyond what ten dollars can measure.

"I need you to guide me through the process and the network," she said. After all, she was completely clueless, and it would be strange if she didn't suffer if she forced her way in.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely handle this properly for you," He Tiantian wiped away her tears and smiled through them. "The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are going to fall on the same day this year, so I'll be very busy, but it'll be good exercise."

Logically speaking, the propaganda department should be busy too, but the steel plant is more hardcore, so why bother with those useless things?

We'll just give you the gifts and arrange all the benefits for you. You can sit together as a family, enjoying a happy reunion. Isn't that great?

Furthermore, some young men from rural areas bring back all those things, which brings honor to their families.

The steel plant has taken all aspects into consideration.

Singing and dancing can't put food on the table, but! Not singing and dancing won't do either.

Therefore, the leaders at the top simply waved their hands and decided that since there were so many people, they should organize a matchmaking event so that young girls and boys could get to know each other and avoid being clueless when they reach marriageable age.

Of course, if they hit it off at the social gathering and eventually get married, the steel factory would even specially allocate a pair of red mandarin duck thermos flasks from the factory when they got married.

It's half price, and you don't need a ticket.

You know, that alone is enough to make countless people envious.

Previously, due to Shen Fenghua's special circumstances, no one forced her to participate in these activities, nor did anyone ask her to do them. Now, it's unlikely that it will be Shen Fenghua's turn.

This resulted in everyone in the department being so busy they felt like sparks were flying from their feet, while Shen Fenghua acted as if nothing was wrong.

Therefore, upon hearing He Tiantian's words, Shen Fenghua immediately agreed, "No problem."

He Tiantian was emotional, so Shen Fenghua gave her time. In addition, Shen Fenghua realized that she hadn't had time to go see Li Yanran recently. She touched her pocket and found that she still had quite a few peanuts.

Set off!

When they arrived at the office, Li Yanran was still busy, and Shen Fenghua didn't treat herself like an outsider, eating and drinking as usual.

Sitting next to him, he looked no different from a little mouse, which left Li Yanran speechless. "Tell me, what are you doing here during work hours instead of staying at your own desk?"

Shen Fenghua was particularly shameless, sprawling out, "Anyway, I'm just lying here in the office, so why not change places? By the way, I think the factory manager is quite concerned about my belly."

You know, even though the factory manager is such a busy person, he sometimes goes to her place to feed her. At first, everyone was a little unaccustomed to it, but now they all think, well, it's normal.

"Hey, I have something to tell you."
