Luo Qianyu was hugging his pillow and laughing foolishly when someone knocked on the half-open door from outside.

"Come in; the door is not bolted."

Zhang Guifen pushed the door open and walked in:

"Qian Yu, can I come over to accompany you tonight?"

"Let Siman take care of the two children to sleep, so that you don't have to go to the toilet or drink water at night without help."

Luo Qianyu moved inside and made room for the empty space outside the bed.

"Okay, thank you for tonight."

She used to think that she didn't want to trouble others and was stubborn, but the Lu family insisted on treating her as a fragile object, and now she has completely given up.

Zhang Guifen lay down on the outside. She didn't mind the clean smell of soap on her body.

"Achuan and his friends are grown men, crying and laughing at the same time. We don't know how long they will stop drinking. They might all fall asleep under the table soon."

"You don't have to wait for him. Let's sleep. If you want to do anything in the middle of the night, just call me."

As if responding to Zhang Guifen's words, the people in the living room suddenly started singing military songs, choking with sobs.

Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law smiled helplessly.

Luo Qianyu felt a little relieved, as if the knot in Lu Jiuchuan's heart was slowly loosening.

Very good! The wheel of time rolls forward, and those who stay in the past are pitiful and sad.

As the night deepened, the faint sounds of talking in the living room accompanied them to sleep.

Luo Qianyu had just fallen asleep for a while when he suddenly felt Zhang Guifen sitting up and asked in a daze:

"Mom? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Guifen stepped out of bed lightly, paused for a moment, put on her shoes, stood up, and said softly:

"Did I bother you? The rooster has crowed three times, it should be around five o'clock. I'll go make them some sour plum soup to sober them up, and then get some breakfast."

"Do you want to go to the bathroom? If not, then continue sleeping."

She felt a little greedy when she heard about the sour plum soup. It was made by Zhang Guifen picking wild green plums, salting them and then naturally fermenting them. It was a great drink or pairing it with white porridge.

Since she was awake anyway, she might as well get up:

"I'll go with you."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law passed by the living room, the four grown men were indeed lying in all directions, lying on the table, hanging on the chairs, and half of Qiu Zheng's body was still under the table.

Lu Jiuchuan leaned against the table legs and half of the chair, not forgetting to pour the wine into his mouth.

Zhang Cuifen supported Luo Qianyu and whispered:

"Don't worry about it for now, let them sleep for a while."

"Wait until breakfast is ready and the two Dingyu brothers get up before letting them clean up."

Luo Qianyu nodded.

Not long after they finished washing up and went into the kitchen, Qiu Zheng came over with his head in his hands:

"Aunt, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. We were too excited last night and disturbed your rest."

"Captain Lu... uh, where is Brother Nine's bedroom? He drank the most, let's help him go back and rest first."

Zhang Guifen said a few polite words to him, hurriedly told Luo Qianyu not to worry about the pot, and ran to wake up the two brothers Lu Dingyu.

As soon as the day began to dawn, the yard became lively.

By the time the sour plum soup was served, the living room had already been cleaned up.

Except for Lu Jiuchuan who was sent back to the room, Qiu Zheng and the other two were almost awake. They sat at the table and thanked him repeatedly.

Luo Qianyu could not do anything, and as Lu Jiuchuan's wife, she was arranged to greet guests at the table.

Qiu Zheng was quite familiar with her and started talking enthusiastically:

"Sister-in-law, I didn't have time to tell you the good news yesterday. You must be happy to hear it."

Luo Qianyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest.

Zhang Guifen came out from the kitchen with a pile of bowls and asked anxiously:

"What good news? Tell me now. I have to go and see the pot after I hear it."

Qiu Zheng did not keep anyone in suspense:

"The hospital's head nurse Chen Aixiang, her mother-in-law, and her brother Chen Jianshe were all taken away for investigation by a working group from the provincial government yesterday."

"They said they received a report from above and took it very seriously."

Zhang Guifen clapped her thigh happily, looked at Luo Qianyu, then lowered her head and poured sour plum soup into bowls.

Qiu Zheng continued:

"Sun Jiabao was acting like a hooligan in the hospital, so I went to look for the militia leader. After all, we had worked together in the army before, and they said that official matters should be handled impartially."

"So in the end, Sun Jiabao was sentenced to eight years in prison for hooliganism."

"The last one is the verdict that all of us are most concerned about."

"Niu Dazhuang and Yan Xiuqin, two human traffickers who have been abducting people year after year, have been approved by the provincial government to be executed by shooting."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone applauded.

Luo Qianyu felt that the news about Chen Aixiang and the human traffickers was expected, but Sun Jiabao was only imprisoned for eight years, which was really too easy for him.

Zhang Guifen slapped her thighs with both hands:

"It's what they deserve! This is so satisfying! Human traffickers should be shot eight or ten times over, especially Yan Xiuqin. She is not worthy of being a human being, let alone a mother."

"Let's not mention this person in front of the two children in the future so that they can forget about it sooner."

"Hey, there's porridge in my pot, you guys chat."

She turned and ran away, causing everyone to smile.

Luo Qianyu took the opportunity to ask Jiang Haitao:

"Director Jiang, I heard from Director Qiu a few days ago that you went to the provincial government to attend a meeting on enterprise reform. Do you have any policies to share?"

"I am applying to be a self-employed person and want to know more about various policies."

Jiang Haitao was suddenly mentioned, but he was not surprised. When he came back from the province, Qiu Zheng had already told him and Zhang Weimin about Luo Qianyu's heroic deeds.

They respected their sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts and felt happy for their captain.

"Sister-in-law, we are all family, just call us by our names."

"There is nothing that cannot be said about the policy. It is all published in the newspaper. I will tell you in more detail."

He explained in detail the five new documents on expanding power issued by the central government, and even gave a detailed explanation for fear that Luo Qianyu might not understand.

Then, under Luo Qianyu's guidance, he began to complain:

"With great power comes a heavy burden. People in the factory have stable jobs, so they can slack off every day without affecting their salary."

"Let me give you an analogy. To patch a small hole in the wall, you need three people: one to hold the mortar, one to wipe the wall, and one to point at the hole."

"Without increasing production capacity, it is difficult to complete the planned tasks from above. How can we have spare energy to make supplementary plans and sell other products?"

Zhang Weimin, who is not very talkative, couldn't help but reply:

"Your hardware factory is fine, but my textile factory is having a hard time staying afloat."

"Yesterday the factory leadership team held a meeting and planned to rent out the extra warehouses and empty factory buildings to subsidize the workers' wages."

"But after discussing it for so long, I still don't know who to find to rent it. It's so difficult!"

Luo Qianyu had a confident smile on his face again, his eyes shining.

Qiu Zheng rolled his eyes, thinking back to when the county party secretary came the day before yesterday, she had the same expression on her face.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas?"

She thought about the cooperation plan for these two factories last night and had a basic idea in mind.

So he nodded:

"I have ideas for increasing production capacity and supplementing planned products, but I hope we can cooperate on the product side."

Jiang Haitao and Zhang Weimin stood up suddenly, spilling the sour plum soup on the table.

She raised her hand and waved:

"Don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."

"Zhang... Weimin, I want to ask you first, how big is the warehouse you plan to rent out? Where is it located?"

With only a hundred yuan in her pocket, she came up with a big plan.
