Zhang Hongfei has completed the tasks assigned by his superiors perfectly on several occasions.
Just then, there was a personnel reshuffle, and he was naturally promoted to deputy minister of the department.
While Lin Yu's small contribution played a part, his own abilities were the primary factor.
Lin Yu was not surprised at all by his promotion; he was clearly an ambitious person with great ability at work.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a promotion is only a matter of time.
Tao Xinxin, however, didn't understand what her husband's promotion meant; she only knew to happily say that he had gotten a raise.
Maybe this is what they mean by "fools have good fortune."
The girl was attracted to Zhang Hongfei because of his good looks; she didn't care what job he did, she just wanted to marry him.
Fortunately, the two were introduced by their parents' friends, so their circumstances were definitely not too bad.
The two families are considered a good match.
Not long after they got married, Zhang Hongfei's workplace allocated him an apartment.
The couple moved out with their child and started living a simple life as a family of three.
They look so happy and harmonious.
Lin Yu could always feel Tao Xinxin's happiness when she was with her.
People say that contentment brings happiness, and Tao Xinxin embodies that.
She never had many expectations; she was happy as long as she ate her fill and played with her children every day.
Lin Yu thought that she should learn from her and appreciate the beauty in her life more.

Back at the little house, Qiao Feng wasn't there this time, but Lin Shan and his grandparents were still awake and waiting for her.
Seeing the lights on in the house from the doorway warmed Lin Yu's heart.
In the living room, the three of them were sitting on the sofa, and Lin Shan was talking to his grandparents about the news in the newspaper.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother."
Grandma Lin: "Xiaoyu's back! Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something."
Lin Yu waved her hand: "I've had my fill at Xin Xin's house."
Grandma Lin then sat down again: "That's fine then. Come and listen to your brother read the newspaper."
The two elderly people attended a literacy class and can now read newspapers on their own.
But they are old and their eyesight is not good. The words on the tofu block are small and uncomfortable to read.
So they still prefer to have the children read aloud, just like listening to storytelling.
Through newspapers, they could also hear about many national events, which naturally broadened their horizons considerably.
The two elderly people are not old-fashioned; otherwise, they would not have agreed to come to Haicheng with their grandchildren to open a shop.
After listening to the newspaper, the two went back to rest.
Only Lin Shan and Lin Yu remained sitting in the living room.
Lin Shan and Lin Yu discussed: "It would be best to set up staff dormitories in Haicheng as well. We can't stay here with you all the time."
The three of them followed Lin Yu to Haicheng and only then did they realize that she had such a big house there.
Lin Shan wouldn't have agreed to stay here if he hadn't been unable to find a place to stay temporarily.
No matter how nice the house is, it belongs to Lin Yu; it was given to her by her grandparents in the Qiao family as part of her dowry.
The Lin family will never stay in this house.
Just as Lin Yu was about to suggest staying there, Lin Shan, as if knowing what she was thinking, said, "Besides, more people from the factory might come over later. Are they all going to stay here with you?"
"Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters."
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, let's find a place to rent as our dorm. I'll look for it. You can handle everything at the shop, big brother."
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Sure, leave it to me."
He might not have been confident before, but now that he has settled in Haicheng, Lin Shan is full of confidence in himself.
Haicheng is a large market with strong purchasing power, so as long as nothing unexpected happens, he doesn't need to worry about the store going out of business.
One must take things one step at a time; the most important thing right now is to build brand awareness.
Lin Shan wasn't in a hurry; there was no point in rushing it.
It took Qingshan Foods two years to achieve its current status in their local area.
Whenever this name is mentioned, people immediately think of the food products they sell.
Lin Shan still has a long way to go if he wants the people of Haicheng to get used to Qingshan Foods as a product.
But now he is ambitious and never gets tired of working.
Lin Yu understood his feelings, so she simply let him do everything.
With his grandparents and the four employees by his side, there shouldn't be any problems.
Lin Yu started wandering around Haicheng looking for a house.
She had been away from Haicheng for several years, and her memories of many places had become somewhat hazy.
It's best to find a place with local connections when looking for housing.
Lin Yu went to find this "local bully" that very day.
......
Since Lin Yu's reminder, Da Tou and his brothers have started to focus more on their work.
People who used to always take leave, be late, or leave early are now very enthusiastic about going to work every day.
The workers and neighbors were all very surprised.
But everyone had watched Da Tou grow up and knew his parents, so they felt only gratified.
The older folks all say he's "grown up and become sensible," and the leaders even praised him, encouraging him to keep up the good work.
Seeing the kind and caring looks from the people around him, Da Tou felt a warmth in his heart.
He only now realized that they weren't unaware of his previous speculation and profiteering; they had simply been tolerating it all along.
Everyone knows that doing that kind of thing is wrong, but they also understand that he needs to earn extra money.
After all, he was a child without elders, so he could only think of himself.
Now that we know he has "turned over a new leaf," everyone is happy for him.
Da Tou was very glad that he had listened to Lin Yu's advice.
Working hard is essential to making a good impression on others.
Recently, people have started introducing him to potential partners.
The factory's closing bell rang.
Da Tou lives alone and is too lazy to cook, so he takes his lunchbox to the cafeteria to get his food and prepares to go home.
As soon as I stepped out of the factory gate, I heard my colleagues talking about it.
"Hey, look, there's a woman over there, she's really pretty."
"Where is it? Where is it? Let me see."
"See her? Don't you think she works at our factory?"
"I guess not, she wasn't wearing a work uniform."
Big Head squeezed through: "What are you looking at? Let me see too."
The group made way for him, saying, "You're a bachelor, aren't you? You want a wife, huh? Hahaha."
His coworkers all knew about his situation and felt sorry for him because he couldn't find a partner.
Even when girls are watching, he doesn't miss out.
"Look over there, there's a beautiful female comrade."
Before his coworker could finish speaking, Da Tou swaggered over to the woman.
The workers looked at each other, puzzled: "Is he in such a hurry? Has he fallen in love at first sight?"
An older man said, "Isn't this indecent assault? Quickly pull him away."
"This guy must be crazy about his wife. He can just look at her and that's enough. He doesn't even dare to go over there."
Everyone was getting anxious. These days, even married couples shouldn't be too intimate in public.
If Da Tou goes straight for the woman like that, he's bound to get arrested.
"Hey kid, don't go, come back quickly."
