Chapter 314: Grasping the One-Year-Old Child (Xiao Linsheng)

After the winter, Aunt Qin really started to take care of the military clothing factory in the compound.

She took the newspaper in which Zeng Xiaoqin reported on Zhu Yunying's discussion with a state-owned clothing manufacturer in Beijing about the manufacturing process of down jackets, and went directly to find Commander Gu and Political Commissar Zhang.

"Commissar Zhang, I'm not trying to brag, but look at this! Comrade Xiao Zhu is a military dependent from our compound, right? Xiao Song from the state-owned garment factory, although he looks like he works in Beijing, is actually from a nearby town! We couldn't keep such a good talent. If Master Xiao Song can develop in Beijing, what if Xiao Zhu also returns one day?"

Aunt Qin said earnestly, "Developing a factory for military families in our compound is indeed more difficult than in other areas. The winter is long, and it's hard to find suitable industries. But Comrade Xiao Zhu has set such a great example! He can work at home without having to neglect taking care of the family, and he can also support half the family. Isn't that a good thing!"

"Master Gu and I have discussed your suggestion. But where can we find ducks specifically for making down jackets? We have to raise ducks and make clothes, which is a bit..."

Political Commissar Zhang was in a dilemma: "There's not that much space!"

Aunt Qin immediately took out a handful of duck down from her pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and pouted.

"Here! This stuff won't rot or break. When the weather's good, we'll raise ducks together and teach everyone how to collect duck down. Then, when it's inconvenient to go out in the winter, each family will take the task and go home to make clothes. We'll collect the finished clothes, check the quality, and then send them to the state-owned clothing factory. Let them be responsible for the subsequent sales."

She spoke very logically, and her eyes were shining as she looked at Political Commissar Zhang and Commander Gu.

Political Commissar Zhang did not respond directly, and he and Commander Gu looked at each other.

"Understood. We'll discuss it further. It won't take you too long. I'll let you know as soon as we have a result."

Aunt Qin left with great confidence.

Teacher Gu took a sip of tea and asked, "Does this look like she came up with this idea all by herself?"

"There must be someone behind this. Raising ducks is easy, but collecting and preserving the down, and communicating and collaborating with state-owned garment factories—each step is not so simple."

Political Commissar Zhang stopped at that point and didn't explain it very clearly.

When Commander Gu saw him like that, he smiled unhappily.

"You're also playing dumb with me. If you want to praise Comrade Xiao Zhu, then go ahead and do it. How can I lie to you with my eyes open?"

"I was too conservative."

"Let's give it a try with this factory in the compound."

"good!"

In this way, the military clothing factory in the compound was established.

Aunt Qin was in charge of reporting to the military leadership, focusing on work style issues. Her hand had been injured, so her grip on the pen wasn't as strong as before, and the propaganda posters in the compound had long been replaced by someone else.

Originally, she thought that she was not too old and would live out her retirement in the compound.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunying found her and discussed the factory construction with her, and asked her if she could take charge of the important task of docking and reporting.

Zhu Yunying's words "I am young, my words don't carry enough weight, I am not as good as Aunt Qin's", coaxed Aunt Qin into writing a report of tens of thousands of words that day!

Zhu Yunying was mainly responsible for the design of clothes and the coordination with the state-owned garment factories in Beijing. She had learned her sewing skills halfway through and they were not sophisticated enough, so she specially asked Wang Huahua's sister-in-law to provide training for the military families in the compound.

Throughout the summer, every household in the compound wore new clothes to show off their craftsmanship!

Zou Mei and Wen Wen were both curious and wondered where Zhu Yunying got those good ideas.

Zhu Yunying took out her treasures, including the picture albums sent by Director Jiang and Xiao Wu from Haicheng, and the special issue sent by Zeng Xiaoqin from Beijing, all of which became her sources of inspiration.

"Time flies when there's something to do. I'm not looking forward to Brother Yang coming back from his mission at all. There's still so much to do!"

As soon as Zou Mei said that, Wen Wen immediately retorted: "Yo yo yo! Who counts on his fingers every day?"

"...I was counting the days of Lin Sheng's birthday, and I wasn't waiting for him!"

Zou Mei's face flushed red, and she was furious: "You...you don't understand!"

"Right, right, right! We don't understand!"

Wen Wen pushed Zhu Yunying to the front and laughed.

As the summer heat gradually subsided, Yang Linsheng's one-year-old birthday celebration finally arrived.

People I know come to visit my home with delicious food and drinks.

All the furniture in the small tube was cleared out, and a large mat was spread on the floor of the living room for him to crawl on.

Everyone was ready, and Captain Yang, who was on a mission, arrived late in military uniform.

There were a pile of things spread out on the floor: paintbrushes from Aunt Qin, books from Zhao Chunlan, dancing shoes from Wenwen, a small strip of cotton cloth from Zhu Yunying with a line drawing of a dress on it, and the doctor who had rescued the mother and child had quietly put his stethoscope in there. Of course, there were also some toys and candy...

A one-year-old baby can start babbling and saying some words.

As soon as he put Xiao Linsheng down, he shouted towards the door: "Da Da..."

Yang He, wearing a military uniform, laughed: "Hurry up and choose, kid!"

"Hahahaha! Captain Yang, do you want to choose something too and let Xiao Linsheng choose?"

Someone in the crowd suggested.

Yang He glanced at Zou Mei, who was pouting because of his lateness, and said naively, "Let him choose first. What you give are all good things."

Zou Mei turned her head away.

They used to be angry because Yang He insisted that their son join the army, but now he doesn't let his son choose to join the army, and Zou Mei feels empty inside.

“Shushu… Shushu…”

Xiao Linsheng was lying on the ground, chattering and yelling!

Zhao Chunlan applauded happily: "Xiao Linsheng is very smart! He likes reading. He will become a great scientist in the future!"

However, before she could finish her words, she saw Xiao Linsheng twist his butt and crawl towards Naitang next to him.

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

The little brat nudged himself until he was next to the candy. His chubby little hands flapped left and right, and he grabbed a handful of candy in each hand and crawled towards Feng Shuo: "Shushu... Shu..."

"..." Feng Shuo held Xiaobao in his arms and subconsciously stepped back, but was pushed back by Zhu Yunying.

Zhu Yunying held Dabao in her arms, squatted down, and asked softly, "Mr. Lin, do you want to give the candy to Zhishu?"

“Shushu… Shushu…”

Xiao Linsheng stretched his neck, raised his little hands high, and waved them towards the little treasure Feng Zhishu in Feng Shuo's arms.

Xiaobao looked at it and saw its toothless little mouth grinning happily.

Giggling.

"Feng Shuo, squat down quickly!"

Zhu Yunying tugged at his trouser leg and signaled him.

Feng Shuo's face was completely dark at this time. He glanced at Yang He and squatted down reluctantly.

Xiao Linsheng stuffed the candy into Xiaobao's hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone laughed.

But Xiao Linsheng was still tireless. He kept pushing and pushing until he got to the candy. He grabbed another handful of candy and turned around to shout, "Dingding... Dingding..."

He's not very good at speaking, but he does know how to take care of people.

Give the little one candy first, but don’t forget to treat them equally and take care of the older one.

After distributing all the candies, Xiao Linsheng patted his chest and finally began to observe the objects scattered on the ground.

He looked around and crawled over with a clear goal.

She grabbed the doctor's stethoscope and put it around her neck, pouting at Yang He: "Da Da... Da Da..."

Yang He exclaimed with joy, picked up the little guy and held him high: "Well done! Become a doctor in the future and save lives..."

Before he could finish his words, Yang He's eyes went dark and bright again. He looked carefully and saw that it was Xiao Linsheng who had pulled his hat off and was about to put it on his own head!

"It seems that he is also a military doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded!"

"Hahahaha! Xiaolinsheng, you are really great!"

Panpan also cried with joy, thinking that if this were true, it would be perfect.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Linsheng calling her affectionately, "Mom, Mom..."
