Shen Nianxi hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Wanqiu, a hint of dependence in her eyes. Lin Wanqiu squatted down, gently stroking her daughter's head, and said with a smile, "Nianxi, Teacher Li is very gentle, and the children are very cute. Mommy believes that Nianxi will definitely become good friends with everyone. Mommy will pick you up after school, okay?" She remembered that the "Separation Anxiety Relief Guide" in her online space mentioned that parents should give their children clear promises and encourage them with positive language in order to help them overcome separation anxiety.
Shen Nianxi nodded, stretched out her chubby little hand to take the plush bear from Teacher Li, then turned around and gave Lin Wanqiu a big hug, saying in her childish voice, "Goodbye, Mommy, Xixi will be good." After saying that, she took Teacher Li's hand and skipped and hopped towards the children in the yard, without any of the other children's crying or reluctance.
Lin Wanqiu stood there, watching her daughter's small figure disappear into the crowd, feeling both reluctant to part and gratified. Shen Tingzhou walked to her side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, Xixi is so adaptable, she'll definitely like kindergarten soon. We should go to the food shop now, we have a new batch of sesame crisps to ship today."
Lin Wanqiu nodded and turned to walk towards the food stall with Shen Tingzhou and Shen Nian'an. On the way, Shen Nian'an couldn't help but say, "Mom, I thought my little sister would cry on her first day of kindergarten, but I didn't expect her to be so brave, much braver than I was when I was little!" Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "That's because Xixi knows that Mom and her brother will definitely come to pick her up, and she also wants to play with her friends." In fact, she knew in her heart that her daughter's strong adaptability was inseparable from the guidance of spatial parenting knowledge—from familiarizing her with the kindergarten environment in advance to simulating kindergarten group games, every step had been carefully prepared.
The Hongqi Commune Food Workshop has now expanded its factory buildings. Neat rows of blue-brick and tile houses line the main road of the commune, with a red plaque reading "Late Autumn Food Workshop" hanging at the entrance, along with last year's "Regional Excellent Enterprise" award certificate. Stepping into the workshop, the air is filled with the rich aroma of pastries. A dozen or so female workers in white overalls are busily working in an orderly manner; some are kneading dough, some are making fillings, and some are packaging finished products. The roar of the machines and the laughter of the women intertwine, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
"Director Lin, you're here!" Li Xiulian immediately put down her work and greeted Lin Wanqiu as he walked in, holding a production report in her hand. "This is the production record for this morning. We've made 200 jin of sesame brittle and 150 jin of jujube paste cake. They're all packed up and waiting for the supply and marketing cooperative to come and pick them up this afternoon." Now, Li Xiulian is the workshop director of the food factory. She is not only familiar with the production process of various pastries, but also skilled in managing workers. Her monthly salary is higher than her husband's income from working in the production team, and she has gained a lot of confidence at home.
Lin Wanqiu took the production report and carefully reviewed it, her fingertips tracing the neat numbers, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. Based on the "Small Business Management Manual" in her spatial dimension, she formulated a detailed production process and management system. From raw material procurement to finished product inspection, every step had clear standards, which made the food workshop's business more and more prosperous. It not only supplied the commune and county supply and marketing cooperatives, but also attracted many distributors from the city to place orders.
"Xiulian, have you checked the new flour and sesame seeds that arrived today? You must ensure the quality of the raw materials; there can be no carelessness," Lin Wanqiu instructed. She always remembered the contents of the "Food Safety Management Standards" in her spatial dimension. Food safety is the lifeline of a food company; even the smallest quality problem could ruin the reputation of the entire enterprise.
"Don't worry, I've already had Xiao Wang check it. The flour is the latest production from the county flour mill, and the sesame seeds are grown by farmers in our commune. They're plump and have no impurities at all," Li Xiulian replied with a smile, her face full of confidence. "Now our food workshop's reputation is growing. Everyone knows that 'Late Autumn Food Workshop's' pastries are made with high-quality ingredients and taste great. We can't ruin our reputation."
Lin Wanqiu nodded in satisfaction and was about to go to the production workshop to check on the situation when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the food processing workshop. She frowned and went out with Shen Tingzhou. She saw several people in cadre uniforms standing at the entrance. The one in the lead was Director Wang of the commune's industrial and commercial office, who was looking at her with a serious expression. Behind him were two unfamiliar young men holding notebooks, as if they were taking notes.
"Director Wang, what brings you here? Is there something you need?" Lin Wanqiu stepped forward with a polite smile, but a sense of unease lingered in her heart. The food stall's business had been booming lately, which inevitably aroused jealousy among some people. She recalled that the "Corporate Crisis Response Guide" in her spatial dimension mentioned that when a company develops to a certain stage, it may face malicious competition or false accusations from its peers. It seemed that today's situation might not be so simple.
Director Wang glanced at Lin Wanqiu and said in a serious tone, "Comrade Lin Wanqiu, we are here today because we received a report from the public that your food stall is using 'improper means' to seek profits. We need to investigate your food stall, please cooperate."
"Unfair means?" Lin Wanqiu's heart sank, but she quickly calmed down. She knew that the food workshop had always operated legally and compliantly, with proper invoices for raw material purchases and production processes that met standards. There was no such thing as "unfair means," so it was very likely that someone had deliberately reported her. She recalled the response strategy mentioned in her spatial storage: first, remain calm, actively cooperate with the investigation, and at the same time, collect evidence to prove her innocence.
