Of course, precisely because of this, all these procurement staff wanted to build a good relationship with Shen Fenghua. After all, who doesn't have some relatives or friends? If you want to get a job, you have to find a way.
Insiders have more and faster connections.
Of all these things, the hardest to get is the tickets; money is easier to obtain.
After hearing Shen Fenghua's explanation, Li Yanran sighed and said nothing more. After all, Shen Fenghua was doing this to save face for herself.
"My mother-in-law will definitely give you a lot of things later, so please don't refuse them."
Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Refuse? What's that? I don't know anything about it. Didn't you see? These two oxcarts of mine are going to empty your mother-in-law's house."
Li Yanran burst into laughter.
Upon arrival, another round of haggling ensued. Shen Fenghua was exhausted from the haggling and finally, quite unceremoniously, walked into the courtyard and lay down on a lounge chair, as if she knew the place well.
Everyone: "..."
Grandma was also amused and exasperated. "Alright, don't refuse. This is my child. If I say it's for you, it's for you. Why wouldn't you take it? I've taken good care of this child before. It's only right that you take it now."
Li Yanran's mother-in-law felt a little embarrassed, "Oh dear, I only helped with a little bit, it's not worth you bringing out so many nice things."
Anyway, after much persuasion, I've accepted this gift.
Li Yanran's mother-in-law was busy all day, rummaging around trying to find something nice for Shen Fenghua to bring.
Knowing that Shen Fenghua had an itchy mouth and wanted to eat during her pregnancy, they were even more eager to do so. If they hadn't stopped her, they would have skipped lunch and gone straight up the mountain to get some good food for Shen Fenghua.
Shen Fenghua was both amused and exasperated. "Auntie, if you keep doing this, I won't dare to come again. Your attitude is too frightening."
Li Yanran's mother-in-law smiled, a little embarrassed, "You brought so many old things, I can't let you suffer too much loss."
"What do you mean by losing out? You know what kind of relationship I have with Yanran. Aren't you just making fun of me? If you keep doing this, I won't come again."
Surprisingly, Li Yanran's mother-in-law found it rather endearing when Shen Fenghua pouted and said those words.
She felt that Shen Fenghua didn't treat her family as outsiders, which was a sign of her closeness to them.
“Good child, it’s the best that you think this way. I’ve never had a daughter in my life, and it’s my blessing to have met such a good daughter-in-law as Yanran. Now that I’ve indirectly met you, it’s like I have two daughters.”
They chatted and laughed until it was lunchtime. Li Yanran's mother-in-law really brought out everything she had in the house, even preparing smoked pork for the Chinese New Year.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Li Yanran couldn't stay idle any longer. Shen Fenghua couldn't go up the mountain, but she could. She took her small basket and led a string of little ones up the mountain.
Shen Fenghua wasn't idle either. Although she couldn't go up the mountain, she could still stroll around the village without any problem.
Qi Ye also felt that this leisurely time was quite precious, so he followed closely behind Shen Fenghua, and the two walked into the village chatting and laughing.
Almost every household here has a dog, but cats are rare. Shen Fenghua had seen a cat in the village before and thought it was quite cute. She was thinking of taking it with her, but she never expected that it would have its own official position.
Seeing that Shen Fenghua's thoughts were so open, Li Yanran even mocked her.
"Oh, I saw a kitten here last time. It was so cute and not afraid of people at all. It was like a majestic general."
"And then what?"
"And that's it," Shen Fenghua said with a sigh. "That cat had an owner. The owner managed the granary of this brigade, and the cat always ate and drank well, with fish and meat never running out."
If a granary gets infested with rats, that would be a disaster.
So if Shen Fenghua dares to take that cat away today, the whole brigade will be in turmoil tomorrow and might even fight their way to the steel mill.
Qi Ye laughed too, "Your eyes are sharp but not good; you don't want them at all."
Shen Fenghua suddenly remembered something, and winked at Qi Ye with a smile, "That's something I want, so beauty is definitely a 70% factor."
After saying that, she glanced meaningfully at Qi Ye.
Qi Ye laughed and teased Shen Fenghua, "No wonder you didn't like the one you went on a blind date with. It turns out you were attracted by my beauty."
Shen Fenghua: "..."
Good grief, he thought he was shameless enough, but it turns out there are people even more shameless than him.
"Brother, you were the one who approached me first, okay?"
Qi Ye laughed, "What, you don't think this guy who took the initiative to chat you up is good enough for you?"
Shen Fenghua laughed heartily, "If we're talking about it now, well, it's about 80 or 90 percent to my liking."
"Why won't you give me the remaining one or two tenths?"
"You know women are fickle, right? I need to leave myself some room for maneuver, don't you think?"
"Hahahaha..."
After laughing enough, Qi Ye looked at Shen Fenghua and asked, "Back then, how did you feel after your blind date?"
Feelings?
It's been a while, and Shen Fenghua doesn't remember it very clearly.
The clearest memory is of those sparse strands of hair stuck to my forehead.
"Well, after meeting him on a blind date, my thought was that I could give up this job, but I couldn't just get married to someone else without really knowing what was going on."
At that time, Shen Fenghua had indeed made up her mind to stay in the position of Deputy Director Shen for the rest of her life.
But who could have imagined that things would take a turn for the better, and a brighter future would unfold?
Didn't this lead her to this place?
"Then why did you agree to give it a try with me?"
Shen Fenghua remained silent for a long time. When she raised her head, her eyes were full of gentleness. "When I saw those two little brats, I thought, why don't we give it a try? Just this once, I'll accept whatever happens, good or bad."
"But my heart told me to take a gamble."
He didn't know what Shen Fenghua was thinking, but looking into Shen Fenghua's sincere eyes, Qi Ye's heart was about to leap out of his chest.
After saying that, Shen Fenghua raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "But look, I won the bet."
He has a child, a job, and even his maternal grandmother has come to live with him. With the most important people around him, he is living a smooth and successful life. If he can live his life like this, he has no other desires.
The mood is better here, and the atmosphere is great.
The two were deeply in love when an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh~ Help!"
A loud cry for help pulled the two from their world of two. Shui Fenghua looked panicked and asked, "What happened?"
Qi Ye quickly stepped forward to help her, saying, "It's alright, I'll go take a look."
He wasn't comfortable leaving Shen Fenghua behind, so he simply took her with him.
