Chapter 26 The dark brown, glistening chunks of meat trembled...

The dark brown, glossy chunks of meat trembled and piled up into a small mountain, reflecting a honey-like sheen in the sunlight.

The aroma of caramel and the savory fragrance of sauce intertwine in the air, creating an unparalleled aroma.

Cheng Xiuying picked up her chopsticks, gently pinched the slightly wobbly braised pork, and placed it on the steamed bun in Yu Jiajia's hand. "Sibao, eat more."

Yu Jiajia was touched: "Thank you, Mom. You should eat more too."

She also picked out a large, fatty piece of pork belly for Cheng Xiuying.

At this moment, the mother and daughter shared such a deep bond.

Yu Jiajia took a bite of the pork belly; it was fatty but not greasy, and melted in her mouth, giving her taste buds immense satisfaction. This was pure bliss.

She wasn't actually that craving meat anymore, but when everyone was scrambling to eat it together, it tasted especially delicious. Besides, the head chef at the steel mill's second canteen was an excellent cook; even the county leaders who ate the braised pork praised it.

Everyone reached for the braised pork, but Cheng Xiuying said, "Alright, round one is over. Wait for me to start eating in round two. Let's eat something else! This braised cabbage and shredded potatoes are also good."

Under Cheng Xiuying's rhythmic guidance, everyone seemed to defer to each other, and eating meat with great manners.

After the final round, there was still one piece of braised pork left. Cheng Xiuying said to Yu Jiajia with a kind smile, "Sibao, eat more. You're still too thin."

Yu Jiajia thought Sibao didn't sound nice, but there was no need to make Cheng Xiuying change her way of addressing her.

She ate five large pieces of braised pork. It was delicious, but she was a little tired of it. She said with emotion, "Thank you, Mom. You and Dad have worked hard. You should eat more to nourish yourselves." She used her chopsticks to break the last piece of braised pork and placed it on Cheng Xiuying's and Yu Hongding's steamed buns.

Cheng Xiuying and Yu Hongding were both very moved. This child was so kind and filial.

The braised pork was so fragrant that Yu Songchuan used a steamed bun to clean up the thick, dark sauce at the bottom of the bowl.

After dinner, Cheng Xiuying asked Yu Songqing and Yu Songchuan to wash the dishes, and prepared to take Yu Jiajia to pick up the bicycle.

Yu Songchuan: "Mom, I'm going too! Wait for me!"

Yu Songqing also wanted to go, to the department store to pick up a bicycle! That's a huge deal!

The two bicycles the Yu family owns now weren't bought; they were assembled from old, unrideable bikes found at a junkyard. They're rideable and sturdy.

Yu Songqing's was newer; he had the whole car sanded and repainted.

That's why Xu Jinbao wanted this car before.

People rarely go to department stores, let alone know how to buy a car.

The two brothers quickly washed the aluminum lunchbox; it wasn't dirty, they ate very cleanly, and a quick rinse was all it took to clean it. They then hurried after each other and rode their bikes to the department store.

Yu Jiajia, Cheng Xiuying's recent favorite, was assigned to sit on the crossbar, while Yu Hongding sat on the back. They went straight to the first floor of the department store, took the slip of paper given to them by the county leaders to pick up the bicycle, and asked the salesperson when they could pick it up.

The salesperson looked at it again and again.

Cheng Xiuying pointed to the county party committee seal on the top: "This is a prize that the county leaders gave to my daughter."

The saleswoman smiled and said, "We just received two Phoenix 28-inch women's bicycles a couple of days ago. They come in blue and green. Which color would you like?"

He took Cheng Xiuying and the others to the warehouse to look at bicycles.

Both women's bicycles are very beautiful, with elegant designs and lovely colors. They also have yellow phoenix prints on the front beam, making them very suitable for women.

Yu Jiajia thought both bikes looked pretty good, so she gave the choice to Cheng Xiuying, saying, "Mom, which one do you like? We'll ride them together from now on."

Cheng Xiuying looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and found that the quality was excellent and she couldn't see the slightest problem. She was also conflicted and asked Yu Hongding, "Which car is suitable for our Sibao?"

Yu Hongding: "Both are suitable, you can decide."

Normally, a sales clerk wouldn't allow someone to touch her like that, but this family came with a note approved by the county committee, so it was different. She wasn't impatient at all and even let Cheng Xiuying get in the car to try it out.

Cheng Xiuying pulled Yu Jiajia into the car to try it out.

Yu Jiajia tried to sit on it, but immediately lost her balance and dared not ride it.

Then she remembered that she couldn't ride a bike, and neither could the original owner of this body. She didn't have this skill for the time being. "...Mom, I can't ride a bike."

Cheng Xiuying laughed: "Bicycles are easy to learn. I'll teach you tonight. You just need to hold onto the bike, and I'll see which bike looks better when you're holding it."

Yu Jiajia happily held onto the bicycle, testing its feel; she now owned a bike!

Cheng Xiuying made the decision: "Green looks better!" Then she said to the sales clerk, "We want green!"

The salesperson smiled and said, "Okay, you can ride the green one away by signing your name."

Cheng Xiuying: "Let's buy another diamond brand horseshoe lock!"

The salesperson reminded them, "There's a hidden lock on the front of the cart; you can't push it away once it's locked."

Cheng Xiuying: "An extra lock makes it safer."

The hidden lock is useless; just carry it and go.

Such a nice new car, if it gets stolen, I'll be devastated. The 'Diamond Brand' horseshoe lock is very sturdy; when locked to telephone poles and trees, thieves can only watch helplessly.

The price is also high, nine yuan for one lock!

This is half a month's wages for an apprentice.

Normally, Cheng Xiuying wouldn't even glance at it, but since the car was free and she even received a voucher for a watch, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy the lock anyway.

Cheng Xiuying: "This lock is a gift from Mom."

Yu Jiajia smiled and took Cheng Xiuying's hand, saying, "Mom, you're so kind."

The salesperson handed Cheng Xiuying a horseshoe lock. Cheng Xiuying tried locking it several times and found it worked very well. She then paid for it.

She then took out the watch ticket and asked the salesperson when she could buy the watch.

The sales clerk was dumbfounded. What kind of family could they have a watch voucher?

Cheng Xiuying boasted, "This is a prize the steel mill gave to my little daughter. My little daughter insisted that I wear it. You know, I'm already so old, why would I wear a watch?"

Salesperson: ...

She looked at Yu Jiajia and gasped. How generous! How filial! Could this be Voldemort? Giving all the good things to her family.

Seeing the saleswoman's attitude made Cheng Xiuying even happier. Her daughter was so filial! Her daughter was destined for great things, and she wouldn't let her daughter down.

The sales clerk pulled out a notebook and recorded Cheng Xiuying's personal information and watch ticket information. "It will be around the end of the year. The specifics depend on the situation. If the people in front of us don't want to buy it anymore, they can move up the queue."

Cheng Xiuying felt the waiting time was too long. She wished that the watch tickets could be purchased without queuing, like bicycles. But as long as she wanted to wear a new watch at the end of the year, she couldn't help but be happy: "Then I'll come and ask more often."

Salesperson: "Okay."

Yu Jiajia hopes to own a watch before Cheng Xiuying puts on one.

The sign-in system needs to step up its game! Give her a watch; she can even sneak a peek at it.

Cheng Xiuying carefully folded the watch ticket and put it in her breast pocket. She pushed aside Yu Songchuan and Yu Songqing, who were touching and looking at it, and reached out to push the brand-new Phoenix brand 28-inch women's bicycle: "Sibao, before you go to work, Mom will teach you how to ride a bicycle. You're so smart, you'll definitely learn it in no time."

Yu Songchuan: "Fourth Sister, can I learn to ride a bicycle too?"

Cheng Xiuying: "You little rascal, don't you know your own strength? What if you bump or scratch the bicycle!"

Yu Songchuan quickly replied, "I won't bump or hurt myself."

Yu Jiajia clung to Cheng Xiuying's arm, laughing incessantly as she was amused.

Comrade Cheng Xiuying has only one treasure in her heart, and that treasure is her.

The family was happily preparing to leave when a young man rushed in through the front door. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, this green one has already been reserved. This blue one is available." He then scolded the saleswoman, "Xia, what's wrong with you? How did you sell the reserved bicycle?"

The saleswoman was bewildered, but since the man in front of her was the accountant's son, she didn't argue.

The young man reached out and pushed the bicycle in Cheng Xiuying's hand.

Cheng Xiuying slapped his hand away, "Who are you? Trying to steal my new car?"

The young man's hand was red from being slapped, and he winced in pain. "Auntie, this car is already reserved. You can only buy the blue one, it's just as nice!"

Cheng Xiuying: "Don't talk about those things. This car is already mine. I'll go to the police station to register it this afternoon."

The young man blocked Cheng Xiuying from leaving. He had been busy exchanging bicycle tickets, waiting to buy this green bicycle as one of the three major wedding items. He couldn't let someone else buy it for him, as his girlfriend liked this color. "Auntie, this bicycle is really reserved."

Cheng Xiuying scoffed: "Who do you think you are? Making a reservation! Fine, then show me your bicycle ticket and 170 yuan! Let me see if you have the ability to buy it."

Of course, she wouldn't allow it if the other party actually offered money.

She's already paid, why should she give way? He's not her boss's son.

She recognized all the children of the steel mill's leaders!

Moreover, she felt that this person definitely didn't have a bicycle ticket!

The young man blushed. He couldn't produce the money. Cheng Xiuying said, "Who do you think you are? How can you reserve a bicycle at the department store without money or tickets? Where are the department store's cadres? Explain yourselves to us working class."

The sales clerk next to him quickly explained, "No reservations are accepted. Department stores only check receipts; there's no such thing as a reservation."

Cheng Xiuying chuckled: "My watch order is booked until the end of the year. How many of these counterfeit watches are ahead of me who are queuing up without a receipt?"

The sales clerk glared at the young man next to her and quickly explained, "They're all registered using the serial numbers on the watch receipts."

Seeing that Cheng Xiuying was not someone to be trifled with, the young man didn't dare say anything more, afraid that she would really go to the director. He bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry. My boyfriend really likes this bicycle. I'll give you a dollar, can you exchange it for the blue one?"

Cheng Xiuying naturally disagreed; how could he think he could throw a mere one yuan at her?

Poor bastard!

Cheng Xiuying spat at her and left happily with her family. This minor setback did not dampen the Yu family's good mood.

Yu Jiajia praised, "Mom, you spoke with such authority, you left him speechless!"

Cheng Xiuying: "That's right!"

Once on the road, Cheng Xiuying began teaching Yu Jiajia how to ride a bicycle.

Yu Jiajia sat in front riding the bike, while Cheng Xiuying pushed from behind. Yu Jiajia just needed to hold the handlebars steady.

Cheng Xiuying knew she was timid, so she comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Even if you don't hold the handlebars properly, I can protect you and the bike."

Yu Songchuan ran alongside, saying, "Fourth Sister, I'll protect you too."

He wanted to touch the car, but Cheng Xiuying was there, so he didn't have a chance.

When Cheng Xiuying is not at home, he will beg his fourth sister, and she will surely agree!

Yu Hongding and Yu Songqing followed behind on their bicycles, watching Yu Jiajia learn to drive and occasionally offering a few words of guidance.

Yu Jiajia steadied herself on the handlebars, stepped on the pedals, and felt a gentle breeze on her face, her hair and skirt fluttering in the wind.

She could hear Cheng Xiuying teaching her how to ride a bike, and Yu Songchuan's loud shouts.

She couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, you're amazing! You pushed so fast!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiuying pushed even faster.

By the time they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Yu Jiajia was already able to ride a bicycle quite well.

Cheng Xiuying: "I'll teach you for a while tonight, and you'll be good at it. Don't try to learn on your own; if you get hurt, it will break my heart."

Yu Jiajia, of course, didn't ask whether she was worried about the bicycle or about her. She didn't care about the inner feelings, only the outward appearance. She leaned against Cheng Xiuying and gave her half of the bicycle key, saying, "Mom, let's ride it together."

Cheng Xiuying smiled broadly: "I'll take some time this afternoon to go to the Public Security Bureau to register my bicycle."

Yu Jiajia said obediently, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

They were pushing a brand-new women's bicycle around the factory, just like driving a luxury car down the street in modern times. Many people asked, "Captain Cheng, did you buy a new car?"

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "It was a reward given to Jiajia by the county leaders. She just picked it up from the department store."

Amidst envious and jealous glances from everyone, Cheng Xiuying parked her car in the parking shed, locked it with two locks, and instructed the old man watching the cars, Mr. Sun, to keep a close eye on them, as they were new and couldn't be scratched or bumped.

Old Sun assured her, "If you leave it here, there won't be any problems." He praised Cheng Xiuying for raising such excellent children.

Cheng Xiuying used to be able to act arrogantly in the factory just because she had a college-educated son. Now she has two children who sacrificed themselves to save others.

Now the whole factory knows the factory manager's slogan: "Learn from Yu Jiajia, chase after Yu Jiajia, surpass Yu Jiajia."

Cheng Xiuying laughed the whole way, her mouth almost cramping from laughing. She said to Yu Hongding, "When you get off work tonight, you and Songqing go home together. Do it like this from now on. Go home after work."

Yu Songqing didn't want to go straight home. He still wanted to find a girlfriend. Although they no longer had meat ration coupons, being together without eating meat was happiness enough. "Mom."

Cheng Xiuying's face darkened: "Don't force me to slap you in the factory."

Yu Songqing sullenly shut his mouth.

Yu Jiajia pressed down hard on her upturned lips.

Cheng Xiuying looked at Yu Jiajia, her face once again displaying a warm smile, "Sibao, I'll take you to your office." Once the two were a little further apart, she said, "I know you're curious about Lu Xiaoqing's matter, let me tell you about it."

Yu Jiajia hugged Cheng Xiuying's arm and swayed, "Mom, you're so good to me!"

Cheng Xiuying drove Liu's mother directly to Lu Xiaoqing's house in the morning. Of course, she didn't know the way, but Liu's mother did. Liu's mother didn't want to lead the way, but her arm was dislocated, and even a slight pull caused excruciating pain, so she had no choice but to lead the way.

Lu Xiaoqing's home is on Hongqi Road in the west of the city, and it is also a courtyard house. Cheng Xiuying rushed to her door and pressed Liu's mother's arm back down.

Liu's mother was genuinely terrified. This jinx—she really didn't dare to become in-laws with such a person anymore.

The mother-in-law was disciplining her son-in-law, and no one could stop her; Duobao couldn't handle it.

Lu Xiaoqing's parents had just returned from their night shift when Cheng Xiuying launched into a tirade, pointing at Lu Xiaoqing and yelling, "How many times have I told you not to think about my Jiamin's job, and not to introduce Jiajia to any lousy boyfriends. Don't you understand a single word of what I'm saying? Are you deaf?"

With tears in her eyes, Lu Xiaoqing explained, "Auntie, have you misunderstood something?"

Cheng Xiuying: "Then explain why she came to my house to propose marriage? Did you agree on behalf of my family?"

Lu Xiaoqing really didn't understand. With such good conditions from the Liu family, a dowry of 500 yuan, three turns and one ring, and the ability to help Yu Songyan get a permanent position, plus bringing valuable gifts to their door, how could Cheng Xiuying disagree?

Isn't she just a worthless, neglected girl?

I don't even have a job!

But she couldn't say that, sobbing, "I didn't."

Cheng Xiuying: "My son isn't here, so hurry up and wipe your cat pee. You shouldn't be crying, you should be a matchmaker. You don't even need to ask the woman if she agrees, you can agree on her behalf. I just don't understand, how much did the Liu family give you to make you so heartlessly cheat my family?"

Lu Xiaoqing's face turned pale. "Auntie, I'm doing this all for the good of the Yu family. I want the Yu family to get better and better more than anyone else."

Cheng Xiuying: "Alright, I don't dare to have a daughter-in-law like you. You haven't even entered the family yet, and you already want your third sister-in-law's job, want to marry your fourth sister-in-law into a hellhole, and even threaten your second brother-in-law that he won't be able to get a permanent position. I'm telling you right now, you and Songqing will not make it."

I'd rather break his legs than let him have any more contact with you.

Lu Xiaoqing cried as she pulled Cheng Xiuying away, saying, "Auntie, marriage is a matter of personal freedom now, you can't do this."

Just as he was about to fall...

Cheng Xiuying grabbed her, "You're still trying to fake a fall? Don't try that on me!"

These are all the shady tactics she's used.

She took the opportunity to pinch Lu Xiaoqing several times, making Lu Xiaoqing cry.

In the end, it was only with the help of Lu Xiaoqing's mother that Lu Xiaoqing was rescued.

Lu Xiaoqing cried miserably, but she couldn't say that Cheng Xiuying had pinched her chest and buttocks.

Cheng Xiuying felt much better and asked Liu's mother, "Your son acted like a hooligan and you slapped my face like this. Should we go to the police station or settle this privately?"

Liu's mother was unwilling. She had been tortured so badly, with her wrist and arm dislocated once each, but she didn't want to go to the police station. Her wrist and arm no longer hurt, and she had just secretly checked her body and found no fingerprints.

Cheng Xiuying didn't leave behind any evidence at all.

Liu's mother could only compensate Cheng Xiuying with three catties of the best fatty pork, but Cheng Xiuying still had a sullen face. Liu's mother then added a bag of steamed rice cakes and a bag of peanuts.

Cheng Xiuying then accepted the items: "Now that you know you were wrong, you must never do such unruly things again. We've already destroyed the Four Olds, and forced marriage will be criticized and denounced."

Of course, Cheng Xiuying definitely didn't say that. She couldn't tell Yu Jiajia that she pinched Lu Xiaoqing's breasts and buttocks, that would be too indecent. She only said that she pinched Lu Xiaoqing.

But Yu Jiajia laughed and leaned on Cheng Xiuying's shoulder, "Mom, you're amazing!!! It's a pity I didn't get to see it in person."

“I don’t think Lu Xiaoqing will give up easily. I guess we’ll have to wait for another chance to deal with her. I’ll definitely take you there when that happens.” Cheng Xiuying saw Yu Jiajia downstairs with concern, holding her hand: “Sibao, if I don’t come to pick you up, go to the security office to find me.”

Yu Jiajia took three White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Cheng Xiuying's palm. "Mom, have a candy to sweeten your mouth when you go to work this afternoon."

Cheng Xiuying refused, saying, "You keep it to eat!"

Yu Jiajia: "Mom, I still have one left."

Cheng Xiuying gave her two more, saying, "One is enough for me."

Yu Jiajia: "Mom, you eat more. One is enough for me."

Finally, Cheng Xiuying made the decision: two candies each. How thoughtful of her Sibao was! She put the candies into Sibao's bag, but when she touched it, she couldn't find a single candy. She looked closely at Yu Jiajia's bag and found no candy!

She was truly moved: "Four Treasures."

Yu Jiajia: "Mom, I don't like candy."

All the good stuff is in my backpack space!

Cheng Xiuying peeled a candy and stuffed it into Yu Jiajia's mouth, then put another one in her bag. "Silly child, who doesn't like candy?" She gently patted her shoulder. "Go on upstairs."

Yu Jiajia went upstairs, looking back every few steps, then ran back down, saying, "Mom, the candy is so sweet."

The mother and daughter were reluctant to part.

But the radio station had already started playing "Ode to the Motherland," which meant lunch break was over and it was time to go back to work.

Yu Jiajia reluctantly went upstairs, and Cheng Xiuying also ran towards the security office, unable to help but sigh. This child is so honest. Thinking about it, she had never seen Yu Jiajia steal food. If she had anything, she would share it with everyone. Now that she had a snack, she shared half with Lao Wu and gave more than half of the rest to her.

Yu Jiajia was also very happy; Cheng Xiuying was easy to please.

There's no one she can't appease, only people she doesn't want to appease.

She went upstairs eating White Rabbit milk candy. The milky aroma was so strong, it was the taste of this era, and it was indeed delicious.

Lu Xiaoqing can forget about entering the Yu family home. Cheng Xiuying will keep Yu Songqing firmly under control. If she can't keep him under control... as a mother, she can easily deal with her son and daughter-in-law.

Anyway, she's not afraid; she's very confident right now!

She went into the office and sat down at her desk. Lin Mei said, "I just saw your mother see you off downstairs. Your mother really loves you!"

Yu Jiajia: "It was my first day at work, and my mom was quite worried about me."

Liu Weidong came in from outside and stood next to Yu Jiajia's desk. "Congratulations on becoming a full-time employee! I'm so envious!"

He was officially hired at the beginning of the year, after two years!

Yu Jiajia was also very happy, as her salary was about to increase from 18 yuan as an apprentice to 42 yuan as a level 21 cadre.

She clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you to the steel mill, thank you to the factory director, thank you to the workers."

Liu Weidong: "Jiajia, you're so funny."

Lin Mei: "Jiajia, you have such a good memory! You can recite such a long text from memory!"

Yu Jiajia: "These are all my heartfelt and genuine feelings."

Section Chief Chen walked in, praised them a few times, and then talked about the next tasks of the Publicity Department. The first task was to "set an example," and the second was to teach all the workers how to do first aid.

"Lin Mei, stop what you're doing and write an article praising today's rally. Try to get it published in the Industrial War Report and submitted to the county radio station. Show it to me when you're done."

Jiajia has good artistic skills. Weidong, please mentor Jiajia so we can have more drawings on the blackboard bulletin board in the future.

Lin Mei is the head writer of the propaganda department; she writes excellent articles.

Liu Weidong has excellent handwriting on the blackboard, and he usually creates the blackboard bulletins.

After assigning the tasks, Section Chief Chen went back to work.

Lin Mei was writing an article in the office, while Liu Weidong took Yu Jiajia to work on the blackboard newspaper.

Yu Jiajia's task was simple: she just needed to draw. Liu Weidong was responsible for writing on the blackboard. The entire piece was about praising Yu Jiajia and her brother, then elevating the theme: the Yu siblings' remarkable achievement was not accidental! It was the result of the steel rolling mill's 20 years of persistent "both red and expert" education! It was a vivid example of how Chairman Mao's thought was arming the children of workers!

It's exceptionally well-written! The key point is that Liu Weidong didn't even have a draft; he just wrote it directly on with chalk!

She looked at him with admiration: "Brother Dong, you're amazing! Your writing flows like a river!"

“Lin Min is the best writer in our department, I’m just an ordinary writer.” After writing the last sentence, he turned his head and said, “You’ll understand when you see Lin Mei’s articles.”

In that instant eye contact, he saw the look of admiration in Yu Jiajia's eyes.

That girl is so pretty!

"Jiajia, if you keep looking at me like that, I think I can be even more amazing."

Yu Jiajia, hahaha.

The second blackboard mainly featured Yu Jiajia drawing cartoons and sharing CPR and artificial respiration techniques. At the top, Liu Weidong wrote in Song typeface, "Worker-Peasant-Soldier First Aid Techniques - A Great Victory of Chairman Mao's Thought."

It's the same comic I drew before, but I changed the protagonist's clothes. The protagonist is now wearing a steel mill uniform and giving first aid to a drowning person.

The outermost edge was decorated with gears and ears of wheat.

This time it was Liu Weidong's turn to praise Yu Jiajia, "You draw really well."

Yu Jiajia then asked Liu Weidong to write "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" on the blackboard next to her, and to press the rhythm of the song according to the heartbeat, pressing it once for each note.

After finishing drawing on both blackboards, it was almost time to leave work. The two went to wash their hands, and I went back to the office. There I heard the radio station broadcasting "Female Steelworker Sacrifices Herself to Save Others, Demonstrating the True Colors of the Proletariat".

Yu Jiajia came downstairs to the sound of the loudspeaker and immediately spotted Cheng Xiuying. She ran over happily, "Mom, I drew two blackboard bulletins, I'll take you to see them!"

We must let Comrade Cheng Xiuying see her excellence.

Before they even reached the blackboard, they found a crowd of workers leaving get off work gathered around it. Someone spotted Yu Jiajia and called out, "Comrade Jiajia, I don't quite understand this. Could you explain it to us?"

Everyone made way for Yu Jiajia and Cheng Xiuying to walk to the blackboard.

Cheng Xiuying stared at the drawing on the blackboard. It was the first time she had ever seen it, and she was utterly astonished. How could Jiajia draw so well! How did she manage to draw it?!

How can your hands be so nimble!

Yu Jiajia pointed to the blackboard and began to explain the key points of first aid. She sang "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" and recited the rhythm of chest compressions.

"Sailing the seas depends on the helmsman"

All things grow by the sun

Rain and dew nourish the seedlings to make them grow strong

"Revolution relies on Chairman Mao's thought."

Basically, it's about pressing down on each word and exhaling twice on a short paragraph.

"Look at where you press this, right on the Chairman's badge on your chest, and press it as hard as if you're forging a steel billet! Finally, give me two more breaths of revolutionary oxygen."

Being both politically sound and professionally competent is the right approach!

Yu Jiajia and her daughter left amidst applause from the crowd.

Cheng Xiuying felt a little unreal; today had been such a wonderful day! Everywhere she went, she was showered with praise and became the center of attention. Her face was practically frozen from smiling.

This is only the glory of her children. What will it be like when the Public Security Bureau praises her?

When they arrived at the parking shed, Old Sun laughed and said, "Xiuying, I've been watching your car all afternoon, and not a single fly has come near it."

Cheng Xiuying laughed heartily: "Let's spar a bit another day."

Old Man Sun: "Let's not postpone it, let's do it today." He rubbed his hands together, eager to spar with Cheng Xiuying.

Cheng Xiuying: "Okay."

Yu Jiajia's eyes widened. They're fighting already?!

Old Sun looked quite old, with white hair, but he was really impressive when he fought, exchanging blows with Cheng Xiuying for several rounds.

Yu Jiajia exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, you're amazing! Go, Mom!"

The workers who came to push the cart also gathered around, and soon a circle formed around them.

Some people watched the fight, while others secretly watched Yu Jiajia.

Jiajia, the new manager at the factory, is really pretty! Up close, she looks even better than the one on the podium.

Finally, Old Man Sun said, "This is boring. Have you eaten?"

"I just got off work, how can I eat!" Since Old Man Sun didn't need to offer her food, she decided to go for it. She suddenly grabbed Old Man Sun's wrist and twisted it with a standard "wrist grab and arm twist".

Before Old Man Sun could react, he was spun around and thrown onto the sand like a sack.

She controlled the force with which she knocked Old Man Sun down, preventing him from getting hurt.

Old Sun laughed heartily: "That's awesome!"

Cheng Xiuying helped Old Man Sun up.

Yu Jiajia's face flushed with excitement: "Mom, you're amazing! Grandpa Sun, you're super amazing too!"

Comrade Cheng Xiuying is incredibly skilled in combat; she's absolutely awesome!
