Sensing the sourness in the man's tone, Gu An'an's gaze towards Xiao Yuheng changed. "Can you stop being so childish? How old is Xiao Ma? Why are you jealous?"

Xiao Yuheng wasn't really jealous; it was just a little playful thing between the two of them.

"I wouldn't be jealous of Xiao Ma, but what about that young man who confessed his feelings to you the other day?"

He had just overheard Xiao Ma saying that his wife hadn't been going out with them lately, and then she ran into a guy who not only knew his wife but also asked where she was. That made people start to wonder.

He trusted his wife, but not those wolves outside; his eyes shone brightly when he looked at her.

You were eavesdropping!

"No, no, no, you used the wrong word. I was listening openly and honestly. Xiao Ma didn't lower his voice or hide from anyone. How can you say I was eavesdropping?"

Xiao Yuheng feigned a wronged expression, "Wife, you didn't even tell me about something this big. Aren't we on the same page?"

Xiao Yuheng took the frozen pear from her hand and put it back on the plate. Gu An'an looked at the person getting closer and closer, and how could she not know that this stinky man was just using this as an excuse to make trouble?

In the past, she would have half-heartedly agreed, but recently the two of them had been fooling around a lot, and she was feeling a bit tired. Gu An'an pushed him away directly, saying, "I'm exhausted, don't."

Xiao Yuheng felt a pang of regret. He had thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to have some fun, but he was rejected. However, he couldn't bear to force his wife, so he had no choice but to give up.

As for the man who inquired about his wife, Xiao Yuheng didn't pry. Based on his understanding of his wife, he knew that the man was someone he only had a fleeting glimpse of and was not very competitive.

Besides, with a wife as beautiful as him, there will be no shortage of people like her in the future. If every one of them pries into his background, it will definitely damage their relationship. He certainly can't do a losing proposition like that.

Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao have been waking up in their grandma's bed too often lately, so much so that the two little ones have started to go into defensive mode. They get ready early, wash up, and go to bed waiting for their mom, while also looking at their dad with suspicion, preparing for a long battle. As long as they go to bed later than their dad, they can keep their mom all to themselves.

Then they saw their dad finish washing up and snuggle into bed, hugging their mom and about to close his eyes and fall asleep. The two kids looked at each other, feeling that things weren't so simple.

"Sister, are we going to sleep?" Xiao Erbao asked while yawning.

"Wait a little longer, be careful, it might be a trap."

"Alright then, I'll wait a bit longer." Xiao Erbao rubbed his eyes and continued to sit on the bed, staring at his father.

Although the two little ones lowered their voices, the room was only so big, how could Gu An'an and her husband not hear them? They immediately broke free from Xiao Yuheng's embrace and placed the two children between them, saying, "Alright, you two, go to sleep."

After saying that, he covered the two of them with the blankets and gently patted them.

Xiao Erbao looked at his mother, then at his father who had already opened his eyes, and said smugly, "Dad, you can't take me and my sister away today."

After saying that, he got up and climbed to the other side of Gu An'an, and together with Xiao Dabao, they hugged Gu An'an tightly from both sides.

Hey! This brat!

If it weren't for the fact that he was his biological son, Xiao Yuheng would really want to let him know what a complete childhood is like.

"An'an, we received two orders today. One order was for 1,000 bars of soap and bar soap, and the other was for 2,000 bars. They both said they read about it in the newspaper and heard that our products are good, so they placed the orders."

Gu An'an had just gotten up when her two sisters-in-law rushed over again, bringing good news with them.

"real?"

Gu An'an had considered this possibility, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She received a subscription call on only the third day after the advertisement was published. It seems that print media still plays a significant role in this era.

"Of course it's true. In just one month, our little workshop has actually gotten things going. I never even dared to dream of something like this before."

"I see you have some big ambitions. You just told me you wanted to promote our Rose Soap Factory nationwide and even worldwide," the political commissar's wife joked, but her eyes were filled with the same joy.

"Don't laugh at me. I said it out loud, and even though you didn't say it, you were thinking the same thing as me."

After the banter, the two got down to business. "Our products are good. The supply and marketing cooperatives that ordered our products before have started to buy them back, and the quantities are not small. If we get any more new orders, production will not be able to keep up. We're thinking of expanding our small workshop."

Gu An'an nodded, "There are two empty rooms next door, which can be used. The hiring standards remain the same, but now there is a new problem."

"What's the problem?"

The two of them were afraid of missing something important, so they came to tell Gu An'an. Unexpectedly, there really were things they hadn't considered.

“We used to be a small workshop with a small number of employees, so it was relatively easy to manage. But once we turn the workshop into a small factory, the number of employees will definitely increase. With more people, management will become chaotic. So we need to establish strict standards from the beginning, including discipline, product quality, and wage structure. Only by clarifying these aspects can we save time and effort.”

The two of them took out their notebooks at the same time, and Gu An'an recited all the management concepts that would cost a lot of money to learn in later generations. Only then did the two of them reluctantly put down their notebooks.

"An'an, how exactly is your brain structured?"

At that moment, both of them sighed inwardly, wishing that this were their daughter.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. I just like to read all sorts of books in my spare time. I'm just showing off my limited knowledge."

The two waved their hands in unison, "Don't be so modest. You're just showing off your limited skills in front of an expert. How are we supposed to survive?"

After seeing the two off, Gu An'an was tired of staying at home, so she decided to go for a walk in the back mountain to loosen up her muscles while the two children weren't paying attention.

With a basket on her back and a small knife in hand, Gu An'an set off.

Now that the weather is warming up, wild vegetables are sprouting up. Gu An'an hadn't eaten fresh wild vegetables in a long time, so she started digging up dandelions and wild scallions.

I have to say that digging for wild vegetables is really stress-relieving; I ended up digging way too many without even realizing it.

She then continued walking inside, and when she saw the snake that was provoking her, she threw a knife at it, and the snake died instantly.

Fortunately, the basket on her back was specially made for her by Xiao Yuheng. It was divided into two layers: the upper layer for wild vegetables and the lower layer for prey. Otherwise, given the snake's slippery and bloody appearance, she really wouldn't want to put it with the wild vegetables.

How to put it? She felt that Xiao Yuheng was spoiling her so much that she was becoming more and more pretentious. When she first arrived, she wouldn't have cared about these things.
