Seeing that they were really useful, the aunt handed Liu Yanran a few more. In this era of scarcity, food was extremely precious, not to mention fruit. Seeing this, Gu Shijing quickly took out the cakes they had bought earlier and handed them to the aunt to express his gratitude. The aunt did not refuse and gladly accepted the gift.
"Are you a newly married couple?" Auntie asked with a smile as she looked at the intimacy between the two.
Gu Shijing nodded: "Yes, we just got married not long ago."
"Oh, I can see that you don't understand anything. Logically speaking, she shouldn't take a plane in her current condition." The aunt frowned and said worriedly.
Gu Shijing was very confused: "Why can't we take a plane? Auntie, did you misunderstand something? My wife is in good health and has never been airsick before."
The aunt lowered her voice mysteriously and said to Gu Shijing, "Young man, your wife is not airsick, she is pregnant and this is morning sickness!"
Hearing this, Gu Shijing was stunned. His mind went blank in an instant, as if struck by lightning. The three words "pregnant" echoed in his ears, repeating over and over again, making him unable to recover for a while.
Later in the flight, Gu Shijing meticulously protected Liu Yanran, fearing she would get hurt. After getting off the plane, he immediately contacted his comrades to request leave, then rushed Liu Yanran to the hospital for a checkup. After a thorough examination, the results were surprising: she was already over two months pregnant, and carrying multiples!
This news made both of them extremely excited and thrilled, and it also explained why Liu Yanran always felt as if she had forgotten something important - it turned out that her period had not come for two months.
After returning home and sharing the good news with her family, the happiest person was undoubtedly Mother Gu. She had always worried that her son's high-risk job would affect their family life, but now that her daughter-in-law was pregnant right after marrying into the family, it undoubtedly brought endless joy to the entire family. Mother Gu was filled with emotion, thinking that Liu Yanran was simply the lucky star of the Gu family, and she loved her even more.
Everyone pulled Liu Yanran aside, asking about her well-being as if she were a rare treasure. Even the rare items she had brought back from abroad were left aside, untouched. Liu Yanran recounted her encounter with her uncle's family, drawing sighs from the crowd. Deng Wanjun was happiest because she was finally no longer the only "giant panda" in her family.
Because of her pregnancy, Liu Guoxing now personally escorted her to and from school. When Liu Guoxing was unable to leave due to classes, Cao Cuilan took over. Everyone praised Deng Wanjun for marrying into a good family and expressed their envy.
However, Liu Yanran wasn't one to sit back and relax. Her machine had arrived at the port, but she needed to personally attend to the relevant matters. Uneasy about this, Gu Shijing took leave to accompany her. He also petitioned his superiors to dispatch two of his former colleagues to assist in assembling the machine. After careful consideration, the military agreed to the request; after all, Liu Yanran's offer was too tempting to refuse.
Once the machines arrived, Liu Yanran immediately instructed Deng Jingxuan to begin recruiting. Senior technicians were a key focus. Liu Yanran specifically invited two of Gu Shijing's colleagues to assist in training the new employees, teaching them the basics of machine assembly, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. After considerable effort, each factory successfully recruited three technicians, with even more staffing for other positions.
During the recruitment process, Liu Yanran emphasized prioritizing disabled service members and their families. This move garnered widespread praise and support, earning the respect of military district leadership. Everyone agreed that Gu Shijing was truly fortunate to have such a virtuous and capable wife. Not only did she assist service members and their families in need, but more importantly, her kindness made Gu Shijing's career smooth sailing, ensuring no one dared to stumble upon him.
It's worth noting that two of Gu Shijing's comrades, Li Shengli and Liu Cong, received organizational approval to serve as technical advisors at the Tian Mi Mi Chocolate Factory and Liu Ji Hot Pot Base, respectively. This arrangement not only facilitated their future covert missions but also injected professional expertise into the companies, effectively killing two birds with one stone.
Thanks to someone who could help them, Liu Yanran's two factories were back to normal production within a month, and Liuji Hot Pot Base was successfully included in the Canton Fair. Of course, Deng Jingxuan was the representative, and Liu Yanran attended as a translator.
At the Canton Fair, Liu Yanran and Deng Jingxuan were busy showcasing their products. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out: "Sister Yanran!" Liu Yanran turned around and was pleasantly surprised to find it was Su Wanwan.
A year later, Liu Yanran met Su Wanwan again. Compared to a year ago, Su Wanwan had become more radiant and generous, radiating confidence.
When Su Wanwan saw Liu Yan, she walked over and greeted her enthusiastically, "Sister Yanran, long time no see!"
Liu Yanran smiled and responded, "Wanwan, after not seeing you for a year, you've really become much prettier!"
Su Wanwan smiled happily upon hearing this. Her face had gained some weight now, and she was no longer as thin as before. She wore a floral dress and an off-white knitted jacket, looking elegant and approachable. Her bright smile, coupled with her, gave people a warm feeling.
The two chatted happily, sharing their recent news. Liu Yanran watched Su Wanwan's transformation and couldn't help but marvel at the power of time. The once frail and introverted girl had now blossomed into a charming woman.
"Hehe, Sister Yanran is still the most beautiful. By the way, my house has been built. When you come back from the Canton Fair, come to my house and have a visit if you don't mind!" Su Wanwan said with a smile.
Su Wanwan had originally planned to rebuild her house as soon as she returned home last year, but due to some issues, her father advised her to keep a low profile and deposit the funds into her passbook. Since then, her performance at the factory has improved, and she has been able to receive a commission of at least 200 yuan per month.
However, her grandmother wanted her to give the job to her uncle's son. When Su Wanwan refused, her grandmother and her uncle's family had a big fight at home, which eventually led to the separation of the family.
Because she refused to give up her job, her family was practically kicked out of the house, not a single brick or tile left, and only their clothes. Su Wanwan couldn't help but feel lucky that she had listened to her father, otherwise she would have wasted money on house renovations.
Not only that, Su Wanwan's family also had to pay 100 yuan in pension every month, and they signed the relevant documents, which the community also retained a copy of. Liu Yanran thought to herself that although 100 yuan seemed like a lot now, it might not be worth much in two years.
Su Wanwan chattered away like a cheerful little bird, recounting the events of the past year. Liu Yanran would occasionally offer her a glass of water or something to eat to replenish her energy. This made the Canton Fair trip, which could have been a bit boring, become a lot more interesting.
