After seeing Song Zigan off, Zhang Hongmei returned to a regular life.

The school has now added many more languages, and the students' courses have become much more diverse.

On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Liu Jingzhang and Liang Dan returned.

Zhang Hongmei called Liang Dan to the study and gave her three plans.

"The service company also needs to open there. It doesn't need to make a lot of money, but you know what needs to be done."

"Madam, I know."

"Yes, I believe you. There's also the option of setting up a textile factory there; the cotton production there is quite good."

There's also a survey report about the iron content of the mountains there. Once you're settled in, give me a call, and I'll send an engineer over.

"Yes, Madam, I will arrange it."

"Here's five hundred thousand. Take it with you. You need to choose the address for the textile factory. The machines will all be in place in seven months. You can contact Bill and Harry to confirm the specific time."

"Yes, I understand."

"You two go directly to Haishi and pick up a car to save you the trouble of getting around."

"Madam, I'll still pick up the car in Q City. I'll discuss the mechanical issues with them directly."

"Sure, you can arrange it yourself. I'm just worried you'll overwork yourself."

"It's okay. Liu Jingzhang can also learn to drive while we're at it."

During dinner that evening, Zhang Shouyi simply gave Liu Jingzhang some instructions, implying that even if he were to be promoted, he would go directly to the provincial level.

"Wife, now you can only have me in your heart, right?"

"You've always been the only one in my heart."

Zhang Shouyi was overjoyed. His wife's words made him incredibly excited. Zhang Hongmei also paid the price for her words.

Zhang Hongmei calls Wang Xinyi almost every two days, feeling somewhat disappointed that she can't see Zhao Haozheng and Lu Xing's child.

“Hongmei, Haozheng will be there at the end of the year, and then you will be able to see the child’s photos. This young man is exceptionally adorable; your Uncle Zhao said he’s much prettier than Zhao Haozheng was when he was a child.”

"Aunt Wang, does Wang Zining like Zhao Yulun?"

“I love him so much. He’s still so young. Even when Lu Xing was in confinement after childbirth, he didn’t care. He would go to see his little nephew every day before and after school.”

"Hehe, as long as he's happy, that's all that matters. I'm worried he'll feel his affection will be taken away."

"Hehe, I really haven't paid attention to that aspect of him. He probably doesn't have those kinds of thoughts, so don't worry."

That's how it was; Zhang Hongmei went to school every morning and spent her afternoons dealing with company matters.

On Saturday, I will still take Liu Qiang and Liu Jingsong to Liu Maocai's house, and on Sunday, I will take Liu Qiang to Zhou Shixiong's place.

Time flies, and it's already May. Zhang Hongmei received a call from Er Lengzi, "Hongmei, Su Chen gave birth! She gave me a son!" He then burst into laughter.

"Brother Er Lengzi, having a son these days isn't fun at all; having a daughter is much better."

"Wait, let's keep having babies. We'll definitely have a daughter."

Zhang Hongmei even specially asked Dong Zhiling to call Liu Qiang over so that the father and son could talk on the phone.

Liu Qiang was a little unhappy when he learned that his mother had given birth to a younger brother.

"Liu Qiang, are you worried that your parents won't like you as much because your younger brother Liu Xiangdong is born?"

Liu Qiang shook his head, "I just miss my mom and dad."

"Why don't you go back and visit them this Chinese New Year?"

"Auntie? Is it okay?"

"Okay, you can take leave early, and I'll send someone to take you home."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'm going to study now." The little guy said and ran off.

Er Ya didn't go back to the research institute with Cheng Guangxu. She's now working with Huang Yanqiu and the others. Since she's an accountant by training, she picked things up very quickly.

Wang Ying and Lu Yue also stayed behind, since they missed their children and at least could see them once a week at home.

Han Mei and her two friends are now mainly in charge of construction. The framework of the six-story building is already up. Looking at the large area of ​​buildings, it is really very attractive. People are already signing up with the service company, wanting to buy apartments.

The batch of housing arranged by Zhang Hongmei was mainly welfare housing, intended for Zhang Shouyi, so it was developed, and these are the residential communities.

As June arrived, the weather suddenly became incredibly hot. Liu Jinsong also faced his exams.

"Auntie, I'm sure I can get a perfect score."

"Hehe, don't be too nervous or put pressure on yourself. Just do your best. Go ahead, your aunt is waiting for your good news."

A week later, the results came out. Liu Jinsong missed a perfect score in Chinese by two points, which was a very good result, but he was not happy.

"Jingsong, you must be able to withstand setbacks. No one's life is smooth sailing. You have to face it correctly. How can you not even accept this little setback?"

Liu Jingsong gave a soft "hmm," but his mood remained low.

Zhang Hongmei had no choice. Her child was grown up, and some things could only be said once. Saying them too many times would be meaningless.

I spent the night with Zhang Shouyi. "Brother Zhang, Jinsong's mental fortitude is too weak. He's so down because of his grades."

"You can practice this gradually. It can't be rushed."

“I know I can’t rush it. I just talked to him briefly. The specifics depend on whether he can figure it out himself.”

At the end of June, Zhang Hongmei received a call from Song Zigan.

"Hongmei, Sanya is pregnant, but we didn't know. She's too tired, and she's not feeling well."

"Hurry to the hospital. I'll send someone over to take care of Sanya tomorrow."

"She's already at the hospital. The doctor said she needs to be admitted. You don't need to send anyone over. My mother-in-law will come tomorrow."

"Okay, let Sanya put down her work."

"Yes, we know."

Zhang Hongmei frowned. She was such a worry. Everyone else was busy too, and no one was as spoiled as Sanya.

The phone rang again as soon as I hung up.

"Hongmei, did Song Zigan call you just now?"

"Okay, I understand. Sister Er Ya, can my Third Aunt go? I'll have Dong Zhiling go with her, firstly to see her off, and secondly to take care of San Ya."

"Yes, that's what I think too. I'm worried about leaving my mom alone."

"Okay, let Lu Jing take them to the car tomorrow."

"I don't know what I would do without you."

"Alright, it's not a big deal. Just take good care of my third uncle."

Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone and informed Dong Zhiling that she would be going on a business trip the next day, asking her to make the arrangements. To be honest, Zhang Hongmei was still worried about letting an eighteen-year-old girl take care of a pregnant woman, but luckily she had Auntie San. The two of them working together should be fine.

Less than a week after they left, Liu Jingzhang called to share the good news.

"Hongmei, Liang Dan is pregnant, three months along."

"Hehe, although you got married after Song Zigan, your child is a month older than him."
