Chapter 112 With pork belly, the whole factory can slack off together. ...

"Your wife is so capable, don't you feel any sense of crisis?" Li Yaowei was busy in the kitchen just like Li Jianzhi. For some reason, every time Li Yaowei went to Li Jianzhi's house, he couldn't help but go into the kitchen to help.

Even in the cramped kitchen, two men can whisper intimate words.

For example, they can talk about their wives without being overheard and getting beaten up by their wives.

After washing the vegetables, Li Jianzhi calmly said, "I don't feel any sense of crisis at all."

"Don't you really feel any sense of crisis? I don't believe it. Men are all afraid of their wives surpassing them."

Li Jianzhi said expressionlessly, "Perhaps the men of our Li family are born to be kept men."

In fact, Li Jianzhi felt that there was no reason for either spouse to be superior to the other. If his parents had been aware of this back then, they might not have divorced. His mother was too strong-willed, but actually soft-hearted, while his father was too proud and unwilling to back down.

There's nothing wrong with giving in to your wife sometimes.

It's so great to be a kept man! It's so delicious! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many stories about men and women living off their wives on X-points. Everyone wants to be a kept man, regardless of gender.

In male-oriented novels, the female lead is often top-notch. For example, in many special forces novels, the female lead's first appearance is often that of an even more powerful special forces soldier, who is also the teacher of the novice male lead. In horror and supernatural novels, the male lead is still a novice, while the female lead is an even more powerful and terrifying being who protects him.

Having an incredibly awesome wife is a normal feature for male protagonists in male-oriented novels.

In horror stories, having a vengeful ghost wife by one's side is what makes one feel safe.

“Dude, but I also have the surname Li.” Li Yaowei was dumbfounded. Why could this tall, imposing, and aloof man say something so “tongue-twisting”?

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Li Jianzhi said coldly, "Then maybe you're not destined to be a kept man."

"Li Jianzhi, are you sure you want to be a kept man?"

Li Jianzhi glanced at his watch and said, "I've been eating this for a while now. It's a Rolex, my wife bought it for me."

"The back cover is transparent, and you can see the gold movement inside."

Lai Yiu-wai said bitterly, "I know, you don't need to describe it to me."

Ever since he learned that Li Jianzhi had bought such a watch, Li Yaowei had inquired about it and found that the imported Swiss watch was really good, a high-end product.

His cousin even wrote a letter about the matter, mentioning the twists and turns that happened after Li Jianzhi and his wife returned to their hometown. Li Yaowei had initially laughed at the two of them for showing off after returning home... but after learning that Li's third brother had unexpectedly found a wife, he could only accept it.

"Yaowei, Wu Xueyan's husband, Li Jianzhi, bought an Old Li watch, and now his brother is all the rage. He just broke off his engagement with Zhang Xiaoyue, and several matchmakers are coming to his door. When are you going to buy an Old Li watch for your home?"

At that time, Lai Yiu-wai almost had a mental breakdown.

I discussed buying a watch with my wife, Liu Xiaoyun, but after calculating the price, we decided against it; it wasn't worth it.

"You're lucky, you even have a wife who buys you an Old Li watch. When will my wife buy me an Old Wang watch?"

Li Jianzhi: "See, you still want to live off a woman."

Lai Yiu-wai: "Didn't you say that the men in our Lai family are born to be kept men?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause came from the doorway, where Qin Xiangxiang and Liu Xiaoyun were standing. They had originally wanted to see what the two men were doing in the kitchen, but instead they heard a string of comments about "living off women".

The men of the Li family are naturally suited to living off women, and they're not even ashamed!

Liu Xiaoyun: "The men in the Li family are quite good at cooking."

"I like to cook on my own initiative."

After having a meal with Liu Xiaoyun and her husband, Qin Xiangxiang sat in the bedroom and sighed with worry: "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat."

Even a salted fish can't lie flat if it wants to.

Qin Xiangxiang analyzed herself in detail. She was a contradiction. She was picky but also wanted to be lazy and do nothing.

If you want to be a lazy bum, you should lower your standards for everything, and then you can comfortably be a lazy bum.

But if someone has very high standards for everything, is picky, and can't stand flaws... how can that person just lie down and be a couch potato?

Qin Xiangxiang said, "Li Jianzhi, I swear to you, from today onwards, I will never be picky again. I will eat whatever you cook. I will never complain again. I will lower all my standards!"

Li Jianzhi: "Then let's eat a low-fat meal together, and you can work on your abs and V-line."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

“If you agree, we will have Xiaopang’s whole family eat low-fat meals together, which will actually help Xiaopang grow.”

"A weight loss meal does not mean starving yourself, but rather focusing on nutrition and eating more high-protein, low-fat foods and leafy green vegetables."

"Just like fish and shrimp, they are excellent high-protein, low-fat foods."

"From now on, we should buy lean pork instead of pork belly."

Qin Xiangxiang's expression immediately changed: "I feel a little down right now. Have Xiaopang buy some fried yellow croaker tomorrow."

If salted fish, whose standards have been lowered to the point where it can only eat seafood, lean meat, and vegetables, then... well, forget it.

She could hold on a little longer.

Li Jianzhi gave a soft humph: "I told you to eat a low-fat meal, and you want to eat fried yellow croaker. Why don't you want to eat cream cake? Why don't you want to eat chocolate?"

"Why are you acting so strangely?"

Qin Xiangxiang calmly replied, "I can't hear what you're saying."

Being a factory manager has its advantages; at least the monthly salary is high enough. Now, with some savings, she has enough money and confidence to buy a piano. She now earns at least eighty yuan a month. What a wonderful thought!

Li Jianzhi: "When are we going to buy a piano? Should we buy an imported one or a domestic one?"

Qin Xiangxiang: "The imported ones cost tens of thousands!"

"There are also cheaper options."

Qin Xiangxiang: "...Then it's better to buy domestic products."

After the opening up of the private economy in the 1980s, all state-owned factories began to reform, and their operating profits were their own responsibility. If they could run the textile factory well, they would definitely make a lot of money and wouldn't need to rely on the powerful Hong Kong government anymore.

After being a factory manager for several years, this lazy bum thinks he's already the most powerful figure.

She doesn't need to be a mama's girl and rely on her mother; now it seems she can rely on herself. She's a textile genius!

Qin Xiangxiang sighed, "Li Jianzhi, sometimes man proposes, God disposes."

"Give me a leg massage, I'm in a bad mood."

Li Jianzhi chuckled: "Alright."

Qin Xiang wanted to play with her daughter, Sui Sui, who could already walk and talk. She listened quietly to her parents chatting and waved her arms and babbled beside them.

"I want some small, annoying fish, fish, fish."

Li Jianzhi: "Go and hug our daughter more. She's our little money god. She'll have money to buy imported pianos in the future."

Qin Xiangxiang was overjoyed to hear this and kissed her little daughter's face: "Did you hear that? Touch the little god of wealth's paw and give Mommy a bunch of gold coins."

"Fish fish fish!"

Little Sui Sui: "Next paper-cutting meal."

Li Jianzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Could this girl resemble me?"

Qin Xiangxiang: "??????"

"Listen to Mommy, we want to eat pork belly! We want to eat fried yellow croaker!"

Little Sui Sui: "Next paper-cutting meal!"

"Eat pork belly!"

"Paper-cut food!"

Qin Xiangxiang got angry: "Li Jianzhi, did you secretly teach her to speak?"

Li Jianzhi: "The responsibility lies with you."

Sui Sui: "Paper cutting!"

“I never said anything about losing weight in front of my daughter. It’s you who keeps saying that I’m losing weight.”

“My daughter has learned all of this from you.”

"Scissors! Scissors!"

Qin Xiangxiang: "Then I'll call you Li Wuhua from now on?"

"Pork belly, pork belly, pork belly, Li Wuhua."

Li Jianzhi whispered, "If living conditions improve in the future, no pretty girl will like to eat pork belly."

Qin Xiangxiang said, "Pretty girls only eat two pieces of pork belly to enjoy the most delicious taste; they get tired of it if they eat too much."

"But that doesn't mean I won't eat it."

Qin Xiangxiang made her decision: "From now on, I'll call you Li Wuhua."

"Li Wuhua, Li Wuhua, Li Wuhua... calling it too often gets cloying, just like eating too much pork belly."

"Mom, do we want to eat pork belly?" Little Fatty asked curiously from the doorway.

Sui Sui: "Scissors Meal"

Little Fatty: "I'll eat pork belly."

Little Sui Sui: "Next paper-cutting meal!"

"Mom, what is a paper-cut meal?"

Li Jianzhi: "..."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

Feiyan Textile Factory became famous, and Qin Xiangxiang became a celebrity overnight. In other words, she became famous. There were related reports in the newspapers, and she received a lot of attention from people from all walks of life.

As the saying goes, "When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, distant relatives come calling even in the deep mountains."

"Director Qin, local song and dance troupes and drama troupes want to come and give a performance to comfort our textile factory workers."

“They contacted us on their own initiative! They said they had prepared a brand new program to show their appreciation to our new factory workers.”

"I heard that the mainstays of the station are coming too. Their shows are especially exciting and interesting, and most people don't have the chance to see them."

"The song and dance troupe has a great voice; we've heard him sing on the radio."

Assistant He felt very honored to say these words. Their textile factory was doing well, and these cultural organizations were chasing after them to offer to perform for them. This was a very rare thing.

Normally, organizations have to actively invite people to perform for them, but now that they have a better reputation, people come to perform on their own initiative.

How wonderful! It enriches the cultural and recreational activities of the workers.

Qin Xiangxiang asked with delight, "A performance for the benefit of the people?"

If there's a performance to entertain the workers, then the whole factory can slack off together.

She likes it.
