Chapter 173: In the Newspaper
"Four children in the room, wash your hands, we are ready to eat."
When they heard that dinner was about to start, the children immediately rushed to wash their hands and then sat obediently in their seats.
Especially Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang and Zhou Ziang, they haven't eaten the meals cooked by their godmother/aunt for a long time.
The three of them sat upright at the dining table, their faces full of anticipation.
Although now almost all the military wives in the family compound have entered the pharmaceutical factory to work, their quality of life has improved a lot.
With the salary, these parents no longer have to count their days, and they can buy half a pound or a pound or two of meat from the factory every now and then and take them back to improve their lives.
But no one is like Lin Yunxi, who puts so much effort into three meals a day.
The pharmaceutical factory canteen orders pork from the county meat processing plant every day. Because the quantity ordered is large, the price is very favorable.
Lin Yunxi always asked the canteen to order more meat, and the excess meat was sold directly to the factory employees at a preferential price.
Among them, the family with the best improved living conditions is that of Sister Hongmei and Zhao Xiaojuan.
Sister Hongmei is the person in charge of the canteen, Zhao Lei and Zhao Yan are civilian staff, and the salary of the three of them is more than 150 yuan, not to mention the allowance of Battalion Commander Zhao.
Sister Hongmei is happy every day now. Her children’s problems have been solved, and three people in the family have become workers. Life is so hopeful now.
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Now she looks a lot younger than before.
She instantly became the second most envied woman in the family compound, the first of course being Lin Yunxi.
As always, Zhao Xiaojuan is the first one to arrive at the kitchen every day and start working, and her efforts are noticed by the management.
Some time ago, she was promoted to team leader and her salary increased a lot, now forty-five yuan per month.
Together with her husband's allowance, this small family can earn about 60 or 70 yuan a month.
My mother-in-law and two twin sons are almost fully recovered from their illnesses. We no longer need to send money to the hospital every month, and our lives have become much better off.
The couple planned to pay off the family’s foreign debt first, save more money, and then return to their hometown to build five or six brick houses.
Because of the factory's treatment and so many beneficial policies, Lin Yunxi became completely famous in the surrounding counties and cities.
Whenever people talk about her, everyone gives her a thumbs up and says that she is a good factory manager who does practical things for the people.
The provincial and municipal daily newspapers kept calling the factory, wanting to interview Lin Yunxi.
But she refused them all because the provincial daily published an article at the last ribbon-cutting ceremony of the pharmaceutical factory:
"The first female factory director in Province Z: Always a loyal fighter for the Party and the people", with a photo attached at the top.
As a result, that stinky man Gu Zheng was even happier than if he were in the newspaper. He directly bought thirty newspapers and distributed ten to familiar neighbors in the family compound.
Ten copies were sent back to his hometown, five copies each to his parents' home and father-in-law's home, and the last ten copies were put into the space.
They said they wanted to preserve it so that their grandchildren could have a glimpse of their grandmother’s beauty when she was young.
Lin Yunxi was of course very happy to be in the newspaper, but after being treated like this by Gu Zheng, she felt a little shy and really didn't want to be interviewed again.
Otherwise, the bad man at home might not do anything shocking again.
Lin Yunxi brought out the sumptuous breakfast from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table, including the famous beef noodles.
Each bowl of noodles was filled with large chunks of beef, and it seemed like there was more meat than noodles.
The soup is rich and fragrant, making people drool just by looking at it.
Seeing the four children looking at her eagerly, Lin Yunxi said with a smile.
"Let's eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Zhuang and Zhou Ziang picked up a chopstick full of meat and put it into their mouths. It was tender and fragrant, and so delicious that neither of them had time to talk.
Yanyan and Xiaozhuang followed closely behind, picked up the forks in front of them, and imitated their brothers to eat beef and noodles in big mouthfuls.
Zhou Ziang didn't lift his face from the bowl until he finished eating the bowl of noodles.
"Aunt, do you have some kind of magic? Why is it that the same food you cook is dozens of times more delicious than my grandma's?"
"That's right, my mother's cooking skills are much better now, but her cooking is still not as delicious as my godmother's," Da Zhuang continued.
Listening to the children's praise, Lin Yunxi was happier than if he had won the lottery.
"Cooking is also a systematic study that requires long-term practice. Only in this way can the food be delicious."
Hearing this, Da Zhuang and Zhou Ziang nodded as if they understood.
"I know, just like my mother said, whether it's farming or doing research, you have to keep learning and practicing, so that you can become a leader in the industry."
After hearing what her mother said, Yanyan raised her little arms and answered quickly.
Seeing that her son still remembered her unintentional teachings, Lin Yunxi was very pleased and she praised him.
"Well, Yanyan is right."
