I had previously wanted to wait until Xiaohong and Xiaozhe went to school before going out to work.

But it’s not the case that he takes leave every day now.

I may have to go to Shanghai from time to time in the future.

After all, his Chinese medicine prescription factory is being promoted across the board.

It is inevitable to solve difficult and complicated problems from time to time.

——

"Wife, I'm going to Shanghai in two days."

"Is there something wrong with the pharmaceutical factory?"

"They said there was an exchange meeting, and Xu Jianshu couldn't handle it, so they asked me to go and keep things under control."

"I'll pack you two sets of clothes."

"Don't be in a hurry, wife, I have something else to tell you. I'm thinking of asking you to take over my position at the supply and marketing cooperative. I may have to go south frequently in the future, and I can't take care of it alone."

Sun Jiaxue opened her mouth in surprise.

She is going to work at the supply and marketing cooperative!

"I might not understand."

"It's very simple. Just use what I taught you before. Just be able to count."

"Does the supply and marketing society agree?"

"What's there to disagree with? I'll talk to Manager Qian tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you can come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative to experience it for yourself."

"What about Xiaohong and Xiaozhe?"

The two people who were gnawing on the chicken legs immediately said:

"Mom, don't worry about us."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Let them go find Old Man Ding. He's usually pretty bored at home. Last time, Ding Shao even told the two kids to come to his house more often."

"Dad, I think it's okay. Let's go learn how to play chess with Grandpa Ding."

"I'll take you there later."

After dinner.

A family of five went to the Ding family next door.

Chen Nian smiled and said, "What a coincidence! It's time for dinner. Come and try the dumplings I made."

"Sister-in-law, we just came here from home after dinner."

"I'm not eating too much, I'm just trying it. How come you can't finish two dumplings?"

After she said that, she went to the kitchen to serve dumplings.

Ding Shao asked in confusion: "Ming Qing, what have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I'm really not busy. I want Xiaozhe and Xiaohong to stay at your house during the day."

"It just so happens that my dad just asked me to go find two kids."

Old Master Ding said kindly, "You two are incredibly smart. It's just right that they come and chat with an old man like me to relieve my boredom."

It seems that it is a two-way process.

The matter was resolved perfectly.

"Sister-in-law is going to work?"

"You're right, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"It's pretty good. Both husband and wife work at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Jiaxue came to the supply and marketing cooperative to take my place. I have to go to Shanghai in a few days."

Mr. Ding said with relief: "You should go to a big city to show your talents. It's really a waste of your talents in a small county."

"I don't deserve that."

"There's nothing a person with real ability wouldn't dare to do."

Ding Shao teased, "If there's anything important, you have to tell me in advance so I can write a report for you."

"It's no big deal."

"Come on, the last time you went to Shanghai, you quietly accomplished something so great, quietly developing a new drug."

Li Mingqing clarified: "That's not the case. The researchers in Shanghai have put in the most effort and made the greatest contribution. I just gave them some inspiration."

"Don't be so modest. People say you made the greatest contribution."

"That's fine if you insist."

It was indeed the work he wrote for Xu Jianshu that led to the successful development of the technology.
