The Ordinary Life of the 1950s

Transmigrated to the 1950s, she became an orphan without parents, but there's no need to fear!

With a spatial ability and the care of the whole village, she managed to get through the dis...

Chapter 980 became...

The next day at lunch, Zhang Hongmei joked with Gu Chuanming with a smile, "Grandpa, all the bodyguards you gave me have been sought after by other people."

"Hmph!" Gu Chuanming knew that among Hongmei's friends, only Cai Peilin was unmarried and had been sent out again, so the only person she could contact was Lu Yue.

"They certainly have high standards. These are all the best people we have."

"Hehe, I've become a marriage agency. I'll inform Wang Ying later that our service company will also establish a marriage agency program."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Zhou Shixiong had been eating here regularly, just to join in the fun.

He is someone who is very afraid of being alone, so he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. Moreover, the effect was quite obvious, and he could feel that his body had improved a lot.

“Hongmei, I also have a team like that. I’ll have the person in charge come to see you tomorrow, and it will be yours from now on. Of course, I can’t give you the male members, because I’m afraid Shouyi will get angry with me.”

After Zhou Shixiong finished speaking, he laughed heartily and secretly observed Zhang Hongmei's expression.

"Uncle, how am I supposed to support so many people?"

"Don't you have many companies? Then send them there. I'm no use keeping them around now."

Gu Chuanming nodded almost imperceptibly. Zhang Hongmei knew that since Zhou Shixiong had spoken, she couldn't refuse, which was why she had made that joke earlier.

"I'm going to be under a lot of pressure in the future, supporting so many people. I'll have to work hard to make money."

No one else at the dinner table seemed to react. Regardless of Zhou Shixiong's thoughts, since he had already given it to them, they couldn't refuse.

When Zhang Hongmei woke up, an ordinary-looking girl was already waiting for her.

Zhang Hongmei didn't make any arrangements for her. She was thinking of having Lu Jing come back to manage them, but Lu Jing couldn't come back for the time being.

"Han Mei, go see them tomorrow, look at their files, and give them the test questions I gave you last time to do, and see their level."

"yes!"

Zhang Hongmei picked up the phone again and dialed Lu Yue's number. She still needed to hurry up and get things done as Cai Peilin had instructed her yesterday.

"Lu Yue, I'll just ask directly. Cai Peilin has feelings for you, what do you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yue thought about the silent man who always followed behind her.

"Zhang Hongmei, I don't dislike him."

"Then you two can get to know each other better. I know Cai Peilin as a good person; you can get to know him gradually."

"Hmm. Can I be transferred back later?"

"Don't you want to stay over there?"

"No, it's the same for me wherever I am, I just feel like a bodyguard."

"Hehe, it's alright. My affairs are equally important. If you want to come back, once things are arranged here, someone will come to take your place."

"Okay. I understand."

Zhang Hongmei didn't think much of Lu Yue's suggestion to come back. They were all young girls who had received training in combat and martial arts since childhood. It was indeed a bit unsuitable for them to do clerical work now. Let's take it slow.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Hu Aifen and the old lady and her son chatting in the living room.

"Auntie, what did you say happened to Brother Jianguo?"

“Jianguo got divorced. He and Maocai divorced two or three days after they came to the capital.” Hu Aifen helped Zhang Hongmei lean back on the soft couch.

"Heh, he's quite capable. I've met his wife; she's not an easy person to talk to."

"That wife was quite capable; she left after the divorce. Nowadays, the letter of introduction isn't as strict, and we don't know where she went. When Zhuzi's family came over, Yao Yufen's family was making a scene, demanding that Jianguo take her away."

"A bunch of troublemakers. Mao Cai and his wife are really busy now. Peng Fei is still so young, so Cui Hua will have to stay home and take care of the child."

"That's right, this Jian Guo is also incompetent. It's a waste of his time to worry about him."

"Grandma, you know, my third aunt is also a worry. Da Ya is like that, you can tell from her appearance. Jianguo looks honest, but that's why she's a worry."

"Yeah, they're all so self-righteous. You chose your wife yourself, so if she's not good, you can teach her slowly. It's a sin to abandon her after only a few years of marriage.

"Your third aunt is lucky she still has Er Ya, Shi Tou, and San Ya; otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to cry properly."

Every family has its own problems.

"Yes! I thought my third uncle and his wife were both sensible people, and that having a daughter was special, but I didn't expect there was also a brother named Jianguo."

"The blisters on their feet were caused by their own walking; what could Maocai and Cuihua do to help?"

Aunt Yang came out and gave each of the three a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

"Aunt Yang, let's make dumplings tonight. They didn't eat well yesterday."

Zhang Shouyi loves dumplings, but lately he's been eating them according to his own taste. It's time to change things up for them.

"Hmm, pork and chives?"

"Yes, I'll have chives and eggs."

“Hongmei, you can’t just not eat meat like this, or you won’t have the strength to give birth.”

"I don't want to eat it. Just thinking about it makes my stomach feel uncomfortable."

There's nothing anyone can do about it. We can only go along with her.

Another month has passed, and Han Mei is now training the twenty-odd girls every day. The training mainly focuses on accounting and management.

She didn't quite understand either, but Zhang Hongmei would dictate some knowledge every day, which Han Mei would then write down and use the next day.

Now, when Zhang Hongmei gets up and walks around, she uses a strap made by Hu Aifen to support her belly and hang it around her neck.

Her belly looked like it was about to fall off. She was almost seven months pregnant, and her family was very worried. But thankfully, she hadn't experienced any swelling, and Su Chen checked her pulse every day. Apart from her unusually large belly, everything else was fine.

The old lady got angry and started spewing nonsense, but she didn't dare show it, for fear that Zhang Hongmei would also get angry.

Zhang Shouyi was extremely anxious. He was like a firecracker, ready to ignite at any moment. His men were trembling with fear, afraid to make a mistake.

If someone makes a mistake, they'd rather hang themselves than face the boss's gloomy face.

Every night, he would help Zhang Hongmei relax the muscles in her legs. Moreover, because of her frequent nighttime awakenings, Zhang Shouyi could hardly get any sleep at night; he would be awakened by the slightest noise.

"Brother Zhang, you can go upstairs to rest. Su Chen and Auntie can keep me company tonight."

Zhang Shouyi firmly shook his head and refused. Although he was already quite tired, he was afraid that if he left, he would have even less sleep.

"Honey, you've worked so hard. What I'm doing is nothing. I'll stay with you no matter what."
