That evening, the news of Sun Zhengguo's promotion to deputy director-general level quickly spread throughout the courtyard.
Then, with the speed of a hurricane, it spread to the surrounding areas and became the topic of conversation for others.
However, Sun Zhengguo was unaware of all this. At that moment, he was in the courtyard, drinking and celebrating with his family!
"Jung-guk, this wine is really delicious! Ever since I drank it, my back doesn't hurt anymore, and my legs feel nimble again. Grandpa feels like I can live another twenty years, hahaha!"
The wine that Grandpa was drinking at that moment was the newly brewed wine by Sun Zhengguo.
Therefore, every time he drinks this wine, he praises it highly, as if he's afraid he won't get to drink it.
“Dad, you’re only 64 this year! How can living another 20 years be enough? I think you should live to be at least 100. When Uncle Jie and Uncle Kang get married, you and Mom might even have to help them take care of their children!”
Lin Wencui's flattery brought a smile to the face of her grandmother, who was standing nearby.
"Wen Cui, you're just trying to make us happy. How could you live that long? You'd become a turtle spirit!"
"Hahaha……!"
Grandma's joke filled the entire house with joy...
Meanwhile, in the Jia family's courtyard house, Qin Huaigu, who was chatting inside, seemed to be preoccupied with something on her mind.
It turns out that she has been working at the factory for almost a year, and so far, she has accomplished nothing and learned nothing.
It's not that Sister Hua didn't teach her, but rather that even if she did, she couldn't learn it.
Gradually, Sister Hua lost patience and simply treated Qin Huairu, the fitter, as a porter.
Qin Huairu accepted Hua Jie's decision; fine, let them move! She just wasn't cut out for it!
However, to her surprise, when she started lifting weights full-time, things didn't seem as bad as she had imagined.
First, there was Guo Da Piezi from the workshop, who would come over to help whenever he had free time.
Qin Huairu was fully aware of Guo Dapizi's motives, but her attitude was neither to take the initiative nor to refuse.
Given her attitude, she initially thought Guo Da Piezi would back down.
Who knew that Guo Da Piezi was very patient? Not only did he not back down, but he also attracted the covetousness of even more people.
Anyone with a bit of ambition in this fitter's workshop will come over to lend a hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Gradually, Qin Huairu seemed to have unlocked the secret to traffic generation, figuring out the tricks of the trade and discovering that work could be done in this way.
With the strong support of these sycophants, Qin Huairu only needs a little stimulation and verbal hints to live a very comfortable life.
However, just as she was getting carried away with her success, it seemed that even God couldn't stand by and watch.
Today, Sister Hua gave her an ultimatum.
She said that if she dared to flirt with other women in the workshop again, Sister Hua would personally report to the director and have her transferred to the cleaning team.
Logically speaking, Qin Huairu wouldn't be afraid of being transferred to the cleaning team, but that would mean a significant reduction in her salary.
That's why Qin Huairu seemed preoccupied tonight, even when chatting with her cousin, she was thinking about how to break the deadlock.
"Sis, are you even listening to me? You've seemed so preoccupied ever since you got home from get off work."
Qin Jingru tugged at her cousin's sleeve and said with a hint of complaint.
"Ah! Jingru, what were you saying just now?"
Once she realized what was happening, Qin Huairu was clearly a little distracted.
"Sister, weren't we just talking about the Sun family in the front yard? You even said that if I had been born a few years earlier, I might have been able to marry into a family like that."
Hearing Qin Jingru's childish remarks, Qin Huairu was utterly speechless.
"Oh! This silly girl, she can't tell the difference between good and bad words. I was just saying it casually, and you actually took it seriously."
Qin Huairu looked at her cousin with some helplessness, sighed inwardly, and then comforted her.
"Jingru, don't worry, when you reach marriageable age, I will definitely help you find a good family."
"Thank you, sister," Qin Jingru said obediently.
To be honest, in her eyes, Xu Damao was a decent person, but his inability to have children was a major flaw.
If one could truly find a good family, who would want to marry into a family without descendants?
As the two were talking, Bang Geng suddenly came running in from outside.
The brat started yelling as soon as he entered the house, as if a fire had broken out.
"Mom, give me the money quickly."
"Bang Geng, what do you need money for? And where's your sister?" Qin Huairu looked at her precious son with a puzzled expression.
"Mom, can you please stop asking so many questions? My little sister is watching people set off firecrackers in the alley!"
Alright! After hearing what her son said, Qin Huairu already knew that the child wanted money to buy firecrackers to play with.
Normally, families like theirs wouldn't give them everything they want.
But he was the only son in the family, and Qin Huairu doted on him.
So, after a slight hesitation, she took out two cents and handed them to her son.
"Bang Geng, be careful when you play, don't burn your clothes. Also, keep an eye on your sister."
"knew."
Bang Geng appeared extremely impatient, grabbed the money and ran off without even a polite word, clearly taking it for granted.
After he left, Qin Jingru looked at his retreating figure outside the door and pouted.
"Sister, you can't do this. The child is so young. You can't give him everything he wants. What will you do if you have nothing to give him in the future?"
“Jingru, Banggeng is still young and doesn’t understand. When he’s older and more sensible, he won’t act like this.”
Hearing her cousin's long-winded explanation, Qin Jingru didn't know how to refute it and could only mutter under her breath.
"He doesn't seem young anymore; I'm not much older than him."
"Jingru, what are you muttering about over there?"
"No, no, no, sister, Huaihua is still sleeping. You take a look, I'll go check on Xiaodang. Children shouldn't play with fire, or they'll wet the bed tonight."
Qin Jingru quickly covered it up with a comment and walked outside.
After her cousin left, Qin Huairu looked at Huaihua sleeping soundly on the kang (a heated brick bed), then sat down by the kang and began to think about the events of the day.
In fact, Qin Huairu does have a way to break the deadlock. If she were willing to go to Li Huaide, all the problems could be solved.
But she didn't want to do that, because going to Li Huaide would come at too high a price. What if he came back and denied everything?
She, from a humble family, certainly couldn't afford to offend these officials.
After much thought, Qin Huairu considered many people, and among them, the Sun family in the front yard was definitely the first choice.
But Qin Huairu definitely wouldn't dare ask Lin Wencui for help with something like this.
As for her son, who was a high-ranking official? Qin Huairu had considered it as well.
But Sun Zhengguo has had a good reputation for many years and has achieved success in both his family and career, so it's probably not easy for him to make a move.
If she messes things up, she won't be able to withstand the Sun family's wrath.
Guo Da Piezi the simp won't do, Xu Damao the lecher won't do, and the widow-loving fool won't do either...
"Xiao Bao! Stop running around, come home quickly."
Just as Qin Huairu was still making plans in her mind, Aunt Yi's voice from across the street suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
But just as Aunt Yi called for help, Qin Huairu suddenly thought of someone else.
"How could I forget about that? There's a top expert right across the street!"
That's right! The person Qin Huairu suddenly thought of was Yi Zhonghai.
I didn't think of him at first because the relationship between our two families has been strained for the past few years.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai now has children and keeps a very low profile, which is why she didn't think of it for a moment...
Achoo!
Yi Zhonghai, who was washing his feet at home, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason, as if affected by something.
"Heh! Who's talking about me?"
Yi Zhonghai even joked with his wife, little did he know that he had already been targeted by the widow across the street.
