"mom!"
"Xiaobei is back! Oh, why didn't you bring all the kids back this time?"
As soon as Shen Xiaobei returned to Duan's house, Wang Zhaodi greeted him warmly and asked.
When people get older, they always hope that their children and grandchildren can come back to visit them more often.
Although the Duan family's sons and daughters-in-law are both promising, they are all living in other places, and there are only three elderly people left in the family.
"I came back from Shenzhen this time. The children have their own activities and study arrangements in Beijing, so I didn't bring them with me. Don't worry, they will definitely be back for the New Year!"
"Hey, Grandpa Beihai is old. Although he doesn't say it, your father and I know that he really hopes that you can come back to visit more often."
"Mom, I know. I came back this time to tell you a good news."
"Oh, what's the good news?"
"I've decided to open a sock factory in our village, probably hiring a few hundred employees. Once the factory is up and running, I'll come back more often each year."
"real?"
"Well, I just came back from the township government. I have already discussed this matter with Secretary Zheng of the township. He is very supportive of me returning to the township to start a business."
"Oh, Xiaobei, that's great! You're so capable! If you could come back more often in the future, your dad and grandpa would definitely be so happy!"
Wang Zhaodi was overjoyed when she heard the good news from Shen Xiaobei.
Wang Zhaodi is naturally happy that the next generation is promising.
However, they were all too far away from home, and sometimes when she thought of them, she felt a little sad.
Now that my second daughter-in-law wants to start a business in her hometown, she will definitely have to come back from time to time on business trips.
She won't have to worry about her home being lonely anymore, which is really a great thing.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely come back more often in the future, and the same goes for my sister-in-law!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Wang Zhaodi's eyes suddenly filled with tears and she cried with joy.
She knew that both of her daughters-in-law were filial, which was considered a blessing she had earned in her previous life.
"Mom, I'm planning to ask my brother-in-law to be the director of this sock factory. Tomorrow, can you accompany me to visit my sister and brother-in-law's house?"
"Really? You're planning to let your brother-in-law be the factory director?"
"Of course it's true. My brother-in-law is well-educated and has been a production team leader before. I feel very relieved to have him be the factory director."
"However, I'm a little unsure. I don't know if I can persuade my brother-in-law to do this. Or whether my sister agrees with him becoming the factory director?"
"So, I have to ask Mom to accompany me tomorrow. My sister and brother-in-law might agree to it for your sake."
"Hey, your brother-in-law is a man of impeccable character, and he's always down-to-earth in his work. But, just like your sister said, he's never had any ambitions."
"So, over the years, you, Hongmian, and Donglin have all been doing so well outside, but the two of them have been farming in the countryside and haven't thought about starting a small business."
"So, this time, I have to ask Mom to come forward! Mom, you must help me talk to my brother-in-law tomorrow."
"Hey, don't worry, your business is my business! Besides, this is also a good thing for your sister and brother-in-law's family. I will definitely help you talk to them tomorrow!"
"Well, thank you, Mom!"
"Silly child, we are a family, what are you thanking me for!"
Wang Zhaodi said to Shen Xiaobei with a doting look on her face.
She gave birth to three sons and one daughter. All three sons are promising. Two are in the army and one works in a state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital.
Needless to say, the two daughters-in-law are both strong women in big cities who can make money.
Only Duan Nanyan's daughter and son-in-law are still farming in the countryside.
Although their family's life nowadays cannot be said to be very poor, it is certainly far inferior to that of their sons and daughters-in-law.
Since the second daughter-in-law trusts and respects her as an honest son-in-law so much, she wants to help their family.
As a mother, she is willing to do her best to make it happen so that everyone is happy.
The next morning, after having breakfast at home, Wang Zhaodi took Shen Xiaobei to her daughter and son-in-law's house.
When the daughter and son-in-law learned the purpose of their visit, they were surprised and a little flattered.
However, after calming down.
Son-in-law Tao Wenlin politely declined, saying, "Xiaobei, thank you for thinking so highly of your brother-in-law. However, I'm just a farmer and I don't really know how to manage a factory."
"If I rashly agree to this, it would be irresponsible to you and the factory. You should hire someone with experience to be the factory manager. I'm really not capable of doing this!"
"Brother-in-law, you are too modest!"
"You used to be a production team leader. You could manage such a large production team, with so many men, women, young and old, and so much farm work."
"It's just a sock factory. It's much smaller than a production team!"
"Also, the factory will establish factory rules, and each department will draft work regulations. All managers and ordinary employees will just have to follow the rules."
"It's really much simpler and clearer than managing a production team back then!"
"Believe me, brother-in-law. If I didn't think you were the most suitable candidate, I wouldn't have come to discuss this with you today. You also have to believe in yourself. With your talents, you are definitely qualified for the position of factory director."
"Yes, Wenlin, Mom thinks you can do it, so just consider it as helping Xiaobei and agree to her agreement!"
"Look, Xiaobei has been your and Nanyan's sister-in-law for more than ten years. This is the first time she asked you for help, and you just refused her outright."
"When we go back later, if your father and grandfather find out, they will definitely tell you and Nan Yan about it."
Wang Zhaodi is not good at preaching big principles.
However, as a rural woman, even if she rarely uses the trick of family kidnapping, she can still use it whenever she wants.
Sure enough, after hearing her say this, Duan Nanyan and Tao Wenlin immediately looked at each other.
Then, Duan Nanyan forced a smile and said, "Wenlin, how about you agree to give it a try? If you really can't be a good factory director, then Xiaobei and my parents and grandpa won't have much to say."
"Xiaobei, don't you think so?"
"Yes, that's what I said! Brother-in-law, just give it a try first. If you really feel that you are not suitable to be the factory director, then I will never force you."
"Yeah, Wenlin, since Nanyan has agreed, why don't you just give it a try? It won't cost you anything!"
"Well...okay, I'll try it then."
Seeing that the three women all persuaded him to accept the job of factory director, Tao Wenlin knew that if he refused again, everyone would probably think he was too aloof.
It's so inhumane.
He had no choice but to compromise and temporarily agreed to the matter.
However, once he agreed, he immediately realized that he was actually quite excited and expectant.
After all, as a farmer in middle age, it is somewhat proud for him to be regarded as a talent capable of taking on important tasks.
