Yu Jun not only wanted to know if Yu Yin was doing well, but also wanted to know about his four nephews and nieces. Finally, he also asked about Lu Shurui's situation. The order of inquiry was obvious, and it was clear which of his nephews and nieces held more importance in his heart.

When An'an and the others were mentioned, Zhong Liang became more talkative, expressing his deep envy.

"Sister Yu Yin is most proud of An An and the others. Although I don't see the children often, Sister Yu Yin always talks about their growth." Zhong Liang's envious eyes were too obvious, which made Qian Weiguo kick him. "If you like them so much, why don't you get married sooner and have one of your own?"

During our previous chat, Zhong Liang mentioned that he was currently single.

"You don't know anything. I was envious of Sister Yu Yin, not An An and the others for having such good parents. Sister Yu Yin is an absolute wonderful mother. And her husband is the same—emotionally stable, calm and patient, and even when he's busy, he'll patiently solve every problem the children have."

Every weekend, I would play basketball with Ping An and the others, and help them with paper cutting. When the children made mistakes, I would never yell at them, but patiently explain, setting a good example to influence them.

My brother-in-law really loves reading; his study is almost overflowing with books. He never forces the children to read anything specific. Seeing their father read every day, the children naturally started reading along with him, choosing books that interested them.

Pingping is just like her father, loves reading, and has a wide range of interests; An'an always clamored to be a commander, though she's older now and doesn't say that anymore, but her goal remains military academy. She's very persistent, always training, especially during holidays, and she'll ask us veterans for advice; Kuai Kuai is lively and doesn't have any obvious hobbies, but she always accompanied Manman in learning to paint, while he practiced calligraphy on his own, until Professor An passed away last year. Manman is a quiet child, but very opinionated. She likes embroidery, paper cutting, traditional Chinese painting, and playing the guzheng… Sister Yu Yin always says that Manman is like a lady from an ancient noble family! All the propaganda posters we use were drawn by Manman.”

Every year they receive photos of the four children from Yu Yin, but Zhong Liang's words bring the children to life.

"How wonderful, why don't I have a little darling?"

Bai Xiaoyu and Su Yixian spoke their minds in unison. Su Yixian had tried three times to have a daughter, but it turned out to be another boy. Yu Yin gave birth to Kuai Kuai and Man Man six months later, which was infuriating.

The people present looked at each other and realized that not all of them had sons. Captain Qiao had two sons, Wang Wenjun had two sons, Wang Wenye also had a son, Yu Jun's twins were also sons, and Su Yixian and her family had three sons.

“An’an wanted to be a soldier since she was little, just like me. Her father is a scholar.” Yu Jun was very proud. He didn’t have a daughter, but Yin Yin’s daughter was no different from his own.

“Yes, yes, he’s like his uncle in that respect. We’re practically daughters too,” Bai Xiaoyu chimed in happily.

Unable to bear seeing Yu Jun and his wife smug, Chu Jianguo, who had been silent until now, dropped a surprising statement: "Our family can find a daughter-in-law. An'an and my sons Chu Yang and Chu Chen are childhood sweethearts and have been corresponding."

Yu Jun and Bai Xiaoyu were dumbfounded. They were related by blood and couldn't marry each other. Ugh... what were they thinking? Yu Jun quickly spat twice, all because he was angry with Uncle Chu.

Everyone who knows this knows it; no one is calling anyone out.

“In that case, we’re not without a chance. An’an is too old, and Manman isn’t much younger than my son, so it’s not impossible.” Captain Qiao’s wife suddenly spoke up, startling everyone.

Looking at this group of people, Wang Wenjun wondered if he should join in as well. His son was about the same age as Chu's Chen and Yang.

Zhong Liang was dumbfounded. How did he end up snatching a wife? The tone of his words changed too quickly.

The gathering lasted until three or four in the afternoon. Zhong Liang was also entrusted with a task: to take Wang Wenye's wife and children to meet him. The couple couldn't continue living apart; it wasn't good for either of them.

For Zhong Liang and his group of four, this matter was not difficult at all, and the Wang family would be responsible for buying sleeper berths on the return trip.

Zhong Liang has almost finished his business in Beijing. I wonder how the three melons are doing, and whether He Haifeng has conquered West Lake yet.

He Haifeng, whom Zhong Liang kept mentioning, not only conquered West Lake, but also the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the West Lake area.

Using the same promotional methods and achieving the same results, He Haifeng secured the order without much effort; the allure of ham sausages was simply too great.

There's never a shortage of wealthy people. While ham sausages aren't cheap, they're not exactly luxury items either. Buying a few a month or two, or when entertaining guests, is manageable. The main advantage is the large customer base; they appeal to all ages, aiming to capture everyone's attention.

The goods were shipped by train, and the quantity was too large for their two trucks to deliver. He Haifeng assisted in receiving the first batch, confirmed that each household had made payment, and then prepared to return home.

There were six of them: three were veterans, and the other three, though not particularly strong, were still grown men. Most importantly, since the beginning of this year, the country has increased its crackdown on highway robbers and bandits, making things much quieter.

He Haifeng mentally calculated the orders; he had quite a few on his end, and there were also orders from Beijing, which were a sure thing. But they couldn't supply enough live pigs.

On the way back, He Haifeng and five others surveyed various pig farms near Shanghai. If none of them were suitable, they would have to purchase pigs from outside.

Yu Yin was unaware that the sales manager she had chosen had not only sold the goods but had also taken the initiative to find the origin of the live pigs.
