"You are quite generous."

Jian Yuelan nodded, "Yes, my dad always says I'm stupid."

Li Mingwei laughed heartily upon hearing this and said to Lin Yuanchao, "Comrade Xiao Jian said she was stupid, but I think she's quite shrewd."

"If you were smart, you wouldn't come to me."

Li Mingwei was a little surprised at Lin Yuanchao's answer, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Jian Yuelan and said earnestly, "Heroes emerge from youth. The future development of this country depends on you."

Good man, he made such a big statement right away. Are you planning to push her out and roast her on the fire?

"I dare not agree with you. I am just a self-employed person."

Too lazy to continue probing him with words, Jian Yuelan got straight to the point, "Just tell me what mission you have, and I'll do my best to accomplish it."

Don't expect her to do what she can't do.

She didn't say this, but Li Mingwei understood what she meant.

He sighed in his heart, she was indeed the granddaughter-in-law of that man. Apart from anything else, her temper was really difficult to deal with.

Li Mingwei gave a bitter laugh, "Xiao Jian, why are you so direct? You've made it so difficult for me to even try to show my affection."

Lin Yuanchao raised his eyebrows. This chess piece made a clever move, but it was a pity that he chose the wrong person to play chess with.

Jian Yuelan had no idea what he was thinking. She spread her hands and smiled helplessly.

Seeing this, Li Mingwei gave up the idea of playing his hidden cards and played his open cards directly.

"I want to ask you, can your custom-made business be expanded and strengthened?"

Jian Yuelan immediately understood that this person was considering her clothes to be expensive and wanted to expand production capacity and earn foreign exchange by directly exporting them.

The country is in urgent need of foreign exchange, but foreign exchange is difficult to earn.

High-end industries have nothing to do with them, cheap industries...

Forget it, she couldn't think about it. The moment she thought about it, she hated herself for being so insignificant that she couldn't do anything.

“It can be bigger and stronger, but not now.”

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her sadness and tried to keep her voice calm as she said, "We can't keep up with the manpower, the raw materials, and the craftsmanship."

"By the time these are in place, we'll have other industries earning foreign exchange, and the days of trading countless shirts for a large aircraft will be over."

Li Mingwei remained silent. Will that day really come?

Half an hour later, Jian Yuelan and Lin Yuanchao left Li Mingwei's office.

He stood at the window and looked down, watching the two people gradually leave, and sighed softly, "It's a long way to go, it really is a long way to go!"

Jian Yuanlan pedaled her bicycle quickly, the wind blowing in her face gradually dispelling the depression in her heart. She sighed, "It's difficult, it's really too difficult."

"It will be fine."

Lin Yuanchao, sitting in the back seat, heard her words and swept his gaze over the pedestrians and bicycles passing by on the street. With a rage simmering in his chest, he said fiercely, "We've been through such a hard time before, and things will only get better in the future."

"Xiao Jian, you have to have confidence."

"I have confidence."

But confidence cannot stop the difficulties now and in the next twenty years.

Make money, make lots of money.

Only by making a lot of money can we have the capital to invest in talent, medical care, technology, etc.

"Uncle, go back to the Friendship Store later. I'll go find Uncle Lu."

Lin Yuanchao said, "You have a new style?"

"No."

"Then why are you looking for him? It's not time to pay the bill yet."

It’s true that she didn’t arrive, but who said she went to see Lu Guowei just to settle the bill.

"To discuss winter clothing."

Lin Yuanchao looked at his summer clothes when he heard the voice, then looked at the female comrades in skirts and short sleeves. After a long silence, he said:

"It's only a few days away from August, and you're already buying winter clothes?"

"Winter is coming quickly in the north."

According to Ancheng's climate, there is no need to buy winter clothes. Wearing a thin cotton jacket will be cold enough in winter.

There are only a few times when the temperature has reached historical lows. Most of the time the temperature is normal. It takes luck to freeze someone to death.

"When does winter begin in your hometown?"

"It depends on the location. Some places will have snow in September, and some places will have snow later."

Lin Yuanchao calculated the time and found that according to what she said, the time was actually quite tight, so it was indeed time to put winter clothes on the agenda.

"Okay, you can put me in the Red Star Garment Factory later."

"Would you like me to leave the bike with you?"

"Need not."

If you want a bicycle, go straight to the hospital for a physical examination after leaving Hongxing.

However, the physical examination could not be done because it was almost dark when she came out of the Red Star Garment Factory.

I can only go home first and go again tomorrow.

When she got home, she found the sound of cats and dogs meowing and barking. Suspecting that she had entered the wrong house, Jian Yuelan retreated, looked at the eaves and the stone lions, and went back into the house after making sure she was not in the wrong place.

I was met with nine pairs of big round eyes.

"Mom, why do you come in and out?"

The child looked at her with a puzzled look. Jian Yuelan smacked her lips and said, "Mom thought she had come to the wrong house."

Who would have thought that she just went out, and when she came back there were not only two dogs at home, but her son was also playing the suona.

Thinking of the suona, she wondered, "Where did you get your suona?"

"Grandma Ji sent it to me."

When the child mentioned his musical instrument, he immediately became happy.

"Mom, let me play Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix for you."

Um?

"Do you also know how to pay homage to the phoenix?"

"meeting."

The child nodded affirmatively, and Jian Yuelan immediately sat on the chair in surprise, "Hurry up and play it for mommy."

Oh my God, her son is so amazing. He can even play "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". He is better than her and Old Ye.

"Mom, please don't cry."

The child raised his suona and reminded in a baby voice.

Jian Yuelan kept saying no, and the child took a deep breath and started blowing with his chubby cheeks puffed out.

"beep--"

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out, followed by a series of sharp sounds like a train whistle.

Jian Yuelan, "???"

Jian Yuelan, "..."

The smile on Jian Yuelan's face froze, and she watched helplessly as her soul floated away.

Oh, God, oh, earth, what did she do wrong to be tortured like this by her own son?

Is this a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix?

This is to send her away.

"Son, stop for a moment."

Pulling back her wandering soul, she twitched her lips and said to the stopped child, "Do you like playing the suona?"

The child thought for a moment and said, "Not bad."

This means that it doesn’t matter whether you blow it or not.

She finally let go of the worry in her heart. Since her son didn't have to play the suona, she could strike back with full force.

"Mom thinks you are not suitable for playing the suona."

When I was teaching the child nursery rhymes before, she thought it was her own illusion after hearing them. After all, how could such a young child have any musical sense? Maybe it would get better when she grows up.

When she heard his suona sound today, she realized that it was not an illusion, but that her fat son really had no sense of music at all.

No wonder he could turn "Little White Rabbit" into noise.
