The following day, Ruan Ruan organized all the training materials needed for the upcoming training. After ensuring that everything was correct, she met the new factory director through Commander Gu's introduction. Chu Chaoyang, the former commander of the Third Regiment of the Yuncheng Military Region, was assigned to the local machinery factory as director after retiring due to injury. However, because he was parachuted in, he took the position of director that had been originally designated in the factory, and was thus ostracized by the factory and unable to start working for a short period of time.
As a soldier, he originally wanted to change jobs, but Commander Gu called him and asked him to come and be the factory manager. So he had been dealing with work matters during this time, which is why he arrived relatively late.
After understanding Director Chu's personality, Ruan Ruan thought that this was a good choice. With the director managing internal affairs, Zheng Xuyang would manage external affairs. The two were a perfect match!
Time flew by, and it was time for training. Ruan Ruan arrived at the factory early that day. She first held a short meeting with them in the office to let everyone get to know each other. Then she led everyone to the workshop. There were nearly 200 people in the workshop, including veterans from all over the country, dozens of female comrades, and leaders selected from various villages. For a newly established factory, this was already quite a large number.
Ruan Ruan first briefly explained the factory's reward and punishment regulations, followed by speeches from Factory Director Chu and Factory Director Zheng, and then Ruan Ruan began training them.
The training lasted for a week, until everyone could accurately distinguish each type of medicinal herb before they were allowed to return and begin their herb-gathering work.
Over the next week, Ruan Ruan used the collected medicinal herbs to teach everyone how to make medicine. The first medicine they made was wound medicine and hemostatic medicine. After the medicine was tested by soldiers and military hospitals and showed significant effects, Director Chu gave Huo Haoshen and Zeng Yunye a certificate. The two then took the medicine and began their journey to take orders all over the country.
By the time the factory was running smoothly, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Ruan Ruan asked Huo Haocheng to build her a makeshift oven in the backyard to bake mooncakes.
That day, Ruan Ruan was at home preparing the ingredients needed to make mooncakes when she heard Huo Haocheng leading a large group of people into their yard.
"Ruan Ruan, come out and see who's here!" Gu Jinghe called out to Ruan Ruan in the kitchen as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Upon hearing the sound, Ruan Ruan immediately put down what she was holding, and walked out with her flour-covered hands, eager to know who it was.
"Brother, what brings you all here?" Ruan Ruan noticed that among the newcomers were Ruan Shaohong and Ruan Shaolin, as well as Ge Xiaotian, Deng Yi, Lin Qingyuan, Su Yanqiu, and several other people she had met in Beijing. She wondered why these people had suddenly come.
"Little sister, hello, I am your second brother Ruan Shaoke. I was on a mission when you came back, so I'm sorry. This is a gift for you. Although it's a little late, I still hope you like it." Ruan Shaoke was different from the others. He was wearing an air force uniform. She had heard her second aunt say before that her two sons were in the air force and the military in Liaoning Province, which were far away from them.
"Second Brother, hello, my Ruan Ruan! I love it, I love it! Second Brother, you look so handsome!" Ruan Ruan took the gift box and handed it to Huo Haocheng, who was standing next to her. Looking at the handsome Ruan Shaoke, she felt a little dizzy. His handsomeness was different from that of Huo Haocheng and Ruan Shaohong. Ruan Ruan thought that if Ruan Shaoke were in the 22nd century, he would definitely be a top idol in the entertainment industry. He had the kind of looks that could be both dominant and submissive, both male and female. His looks were simply amazing.
"Yes, thank you for the compliment, little sister. I'm glad you like it." Ruan Shaoke wasn't angry that Ruan Ruan was infatuated with him; on the contrary, he was very happy that his little sister liked his good looks.
Because of his face, whether in the military or on the street, he always turns heads. As a result, he is surrounded by many female comrades, which is why he chose the Air Force. When he first joined the Air Force, his comrades jokingly asked him why he chose the Air Force. He said that once he was in the sky, no one would surround him anymore.
"I love it! I really love it!" Ruan Ruan was overjoyed when she heard her second brother's words. She thought it would be great if she could see her second brother more often. Seeing a handsome guy makes eating so much easier!
"Cough cough cough, Second Brother, that's enough. Hello, Little Sister, I'm your Fourth Brother, Ruan Shaoqin. I'm also very sorry that I couldn't make it back when you came back. I brought you a little trinket, play with it as you like." Ruan Shaoqin is in the Liaoning Military Region, where living conditions are very harsh. They are stationed on the national border year-round and have to guard against harassment from neighboring small countries. Ruan Ruan knows that it's very difficult for them to take a vacation.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother, I like them all." Ruan Ruan took the box from Ruan Shaoqin, and Huo Haocheng accepted it without hesitation.
"What are you doing? What's that on your hands? It doesn't look like flour." Gu Jinghe asked after they had finished talking. He had been looking at her hands for a long time. They were yellowish, and flour doesn't have that color.
"Oh! Brother, come in and sit down. There's water on the table, help yourselves. The fruit has been washed, have some first. I'm making mooncakes right now. Haocheng, could you check the mooncakes in the oven for me? Are they burning?" Hearing Gu Jinghe's question, she remembered that she still had mooncakes baking in the oven. She quickly called Huo Haocheng to help her check.
When the others heard her say she was baking mooncakes, which they had never seen before, they put down what they were doing and followed Huo Haocheng to the oven in the backyard. They helped Huo Haocheng take the mooncakes out one by one, and a sweet aroma of dough filled their nostrils.
"This is really delicious and looks amazing. It's the first time I've ever seen such beautiful mooncakes." The bowl-sized mooncakes were taken out, with patterns of bamboo or orchids on the outside. Huo Haocheng had made these molds for her, and Ruan Ruan thought they looked beautiful when they were printed out.
