Qin Jingru instinctively took the child, and before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Qin Huairu start crying.
"Sis, why are you crying? Don't you like the chubby boy?"
Looking at the innocent Qin Jingru, Lin Wencui shook her head.
But Qin Huairu, it's just that you gave birth to a daughter! You have sons too, is it really that big of a deal?
“Huai Ru! Your mother-in-law isn’t here, so I need to tell you something. A woman can’t cry after giving birth, otherwise, she’ll easily develop health problems later on…”
Hearing Lin Wencui still earnestly trying to persuade her, Qin Huairu became even more heartbroken.
What do you know?
Family members, who knows the pain in my baby's heart?
In order to have a boy, I not only spent 20 yuan, but I even drank urine.
And then you tell me you had a daughter. Such a sad story, anyone would feel heartbroken.
"Huai Ru, why are you so stubborn! Your family already has a son! One is enough to carry on the family line, why are you crying so bitterly?"
After Lin Wencui finished her persuasion, seeing that it had little effect, the second aunt became a little annoyed and immediately launched into a tirade.
Qin Huairu also knew that since she couldn't change the facts, continuing to make a fuss would be pointless.
Even if I'm furious, I can only consult Zhang the fortune teller later.
"Ladies, you've misunderstood me. It's not that I'm upset about having a daughter, it's just that seeing this child reminds me of Dongxu, sob sob sob...!"
Wow! See? That's what professionalism looks like. Qin Huairu turned the tide with just one sentence.
Not only that, but everyone thought this woman was loyal and righteous, and a good person.
Upon hearing this, the group realized it was a misunderstanding and softened their advice when they tried to persuade them again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Huairu readily accepted the situation and temporarily put those unhappy things out of her mind.
The others then helped cook some porridge. Seeing that everything was alright, everyone prepared to go home. Of course, Qin Huairu also expressed her gratitude!
When Lin Wencui returned home, it was already past 8 o'clock. Her grandparents and Zhengdong had already returned to the courtyard.
Because they missed the auspicious time today, Sun Zhengdong's family did not move into the courtyard house, but plans to choose another auspicious day to move in.
When Sun Zhengguo saw his mother return, he didn't ask her anything, but simply helped bring her the food and told her to eat first.
After finishing their meal, Ning Xiaowei helped tidy up before the couple returned to their courtyard.
Two days later, Sun Zhengdong chose another auspicious day, and the family happily ate a housewarming meal. After that, the family officially moved into the courtyard house.
It is said that the Yan family did not even cook dinner on the night Sun Zhengdong moved in, because they were so angry that they were full.
Of course, what is the truth? No one knows.
That day, as soon as Sun Zhengguo arrived at work, he received a call from the ministry, asking the institute's staff to attend a meeting at the ministry.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhengguo went to the office next door and found Chen Lianshan.
"Senior Brother Chen, don't be busy. Come with me to the department for a meeting."
"Director, are we going now? Do we need to prepare anything?" Chen Lianshan asked doubtfully.
"No need to prepare anything, let's just go. Oh, by the way, you arrange the work below first, and then we'll leave."
"Alright! Director, I'll go arrange it right away."
After Chen Lianshan finished speaking, he went out to arrange the work.
After their work was arranged, the two rode their bicycles to the ministry.
When the two returned to the department, they were immediately notified to attend a meeting in the conference room.
Sun Zhengguo didn't ask any further questions, and the two went directly to the conference room.
The meeting room was already filled with cadres. Cadres at the section chief level could simply lean against the wall and find a place to sit.
As for Sun Zhengguo? He barely qualifies for a seat of honor.
"Director Sun, over here." Just as Sun Zhengguo was still observing, he heard Director Zhang's voice from not far away.
"Senior Brother Chen, please find a seat anywhere. I'll go over there," Sun Zhengguo said, pointing to the seats by the wall.
"Chief, you go ahead! I'll stay here."
Chen Lianshan, however, was self-aware and did not intend to move closer to the table.
Sun Zhengguo also came over to Director Zhang's side and sat down with a thud.
"Director Zhang, what kind of meeting is today? It looks like a special session for cadres."
"Director Sun, it must be good news. You'll find out soon enough." Director Zhang deliberately kept everyone in suspense and didn't reveal the truth.
However, Sun Zhengguo could tell that Director Zhang was in a good mood. With the idea that curiosity killed the cat, he didn't ask any more questions and let things take their course.
The two then spoke quietly for a while, and then the conference room door was opened.
The first elderly man to enter the venue was recognized by Sun Zhengguo at a glance; he was none other than Minister Chen from the Organization Department.
Looking at Vice Minister Li who followed him in, Sun Zhengguo seemed to have guessed something.
As expected, everything went as he had guessed. Minister Chen first dismissed Minister Duan from his post.
Then it was announced that Minister Duan would be promoted to the CPPCC and serve as its vice chairman.
Since Minister Duan has already taken up his new post, I will not elaborate further here.
The next major event will be the announcement of the new minister.
There was no suspense about this issue. Vice Minister Li naturally became the Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Machinery, truly achieving the dual role of Party Secretary and Minister.
As for the vacancy left by Vice Minister Li, it will be filled by Standing Committee member Liu Chengfeng.
After announcing the appointments, Minister Chen handed the stage over to the newly appointed Minister Li.
After Minister Li took the stage, he delivered an inaugural speech, followed by the newly appointed Vice Minister Liu, who also gave a passionate speech.
Minister Chen left hastily after finishing his speech, and with that, the Ministry of Machinery entered the era of Minister Li.
After the meeting, Sun Zhengguo said goodbye to a few acquaintances and prepared to return to the research institute.
Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked over and blocked his way.
"Hello, are you Director Sun from the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute?"
Sun Zhengguo was somewhat puzzled when he saw the person who had come. He didn't recognize the person, but out of politeness, he still responded politely.
"Yes, that's me, comrade. Is there something you need from me?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly introduced himself.
"Director Sun, hello. I am Minister Li's new secretary. My name is Wang Guodong. Minister Li asked me to come and ask you to come over."
"Oh! It's Secretary Wang, hello!"
"I've long admired Director Sun's reputation!"
Upon learning who the visitor was, the two shook hands warmly and exchanged polite greetings.
After all, they're all on the same side, and will belong to the same camp in the future.
Since the old leader had invited him, Sun Zhengguo couldn't delay, so he said to Chen Lianshan who was standing next to him.
"Section Chief Chen, you should go back to your unit first. I don't know when I'll be able to go back."
"Yes, Director Sun."
Chen Lianshan heard the entire conversation between the two men.
Therefore, without even asking any questions, he turned around and walked out.
