After greeting his neighbors at the door, Sun Zhengguo didn't linger but walked home.
When he got home, he found that not only his grandparents were there, but his second uncle from the countryside had also come.
"Second Uncle, when did you arrive? Why didn't you let me know so I could have picked you up?"
Seeing that his nephew was very concerned about him when he came back, Sun Dahe was quite happy and was about to say a few words.
Who knew that Sun Zhengguo would immediately follow up with, "Second Uncle, are you missing Second Aunt?"
"Hahaha…!"
Hearing everyone in the room laughing, Sun Dahe blushed.
"You little rascal, what are you saying? How dare you tease your second uncle? It's just that Aifang is about to give birth, so I came to the city to help take care of her."
Actually, Sun Zhengguo knew why his second uncle had come; he was just joking.
But jokes aside, now that my second uncle's whole family is in the city, it's not a good idea for him to be left alone in the countryside.
So he tried asking, "Second Uncle, you're all alone in the countryside now. Why don't you come to the city? It's not like you don't have a place to stay."
"Sigh!" Sun Dahe sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Zhengguo, I want to too! But what about the house in the countryside? What about the land in the countryside?"
Even the grandparents next to them kept nodding in agreement, indicating that what they said was true.
After all, the older generation was terrified of poverty. Their houses and land were their means of survival, and they couldn't just throw them away.
"Hey! Second Uncle, you can give the house to Uncle and have him take care of it when he has time. As for the land? You won't get many work points in a year anyway, so why are you so insistent on it!"
"We'll see! We'll see!" Sun Dahe gave an awkward laugh, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Actually, he had another concern: he was only in his early forties this year, what could he do if he stayed in the city? He couldn't possibly be a burden to his son!
Since his second uncle didn't want to talk about it, Sun Zhengguo simply stopped asking.
However, he already had an idea in mind: he would try to persuade his grandfather when he returned to the courtyard that evening.
When the time comes, Grandpa will give the order, and Second Uncle will definitely listen...
That afternoon, Sun Zhengguo didn't go anywhere; he stayed in the courtyard with his family.
It wasn't until after dinner that the group got into the car and returned to their own courtyard.
After returning home, Sun Zhengguo first made two cups of tea before calling his grandparents over.
"Grandpa, come and have some tea. I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead and say it! Why be so polite with your grandpa?" Grandpa chuckled as he took the teacup from his grandson, speaking nonchalantly.
"Grandpa, I want you to persuade my second uncle to stay in the city. I think he will listen to you."
After hearing his grandson's words, the grandfather fell silent for a moment before asking quietly, "Zhengguo, do you know what your second uncle is thinking?"
"Maybe you know a little bit, maybe you're worried about being idle in the city and feeling guilty about it."
"If you knew that, why did you still insist on sending your second uncle to the city?" Grandpa asked, puzzled.
"Grandpa, let me put it this way! If I can help Second Uncle with his job, the rest is up to you, what do you think?"
Grandpa, who was about to drink his tea, put the teacup back down when he heard this. "What?"
Grandma, who hadn't said a word until now, nudged her husband when she heard about this good news.
"Old man, what are you still hesitating about? We didn't let our second son come to the city before because his wife was still in the countryside, but what's left in the countryside now?"
"That's not what I meant. I was afraid of causing trouble for Zheng Guo. Have you forgotten about reporting him before?"
Grandma was glared at by Grandpa and immediately fell silent, only able to look helplessly at her grandson.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Those factory leaders all have their own work quotas, so there won't be any trouble. Do you believe me? I can handle it with just two bottles of wine."
Seeing his grandson say this, the grandfather didn't object this time and nodded directly.
"Alright, you give it a try first. If it works, I'll take care of the other side of the river."
After the matter was settled, the grandparents left satisfied, and Sun Zhengguo also returned to his room.
When Ning Xiaowei saw Sun Zhengguo come in, she didn't ask anything and went to fetch a basin of water for washing her feet.
"Jung-guk, wash your feet!"
"Thank you, honey, let's shower together!"
Ning Xiaowei nodded, then moved over a stool, so one of them sat on the bed and the other on the stool, and they began to wash their feet.
Looking at his wife's fair little feet, Sun Zhengguo got a sudden urge and started playing the game of binding big feet with small feet again.
They were just playing around, and before they knew it, they were in bed together. He went from being a foot masseur to a breast masseur, and then you can use your imagination...
The next day, during the official start of work, Sun Zhengguo, as usual, first inspected the workshop and found everything to be normal. Then he returned to his office and made a phone call to Minister Li.
Over the phone, Sun Zhengguo reported on the events of yesterday in detail.
But to everyone's surprise, Minister Li said he knew about it and told Sun Zhengguo to make his own decision.
Now it was Sun Zhengguo's turn to be dumbfounded. Despite all his precautions, they still taught him a lesson.
So they all knew all along, and I was the only one who didn't know, yet I was foolishly reporting it.
Oh well, it's all contributing to the country's machinery industry anyway, so whatever we do is the same.
Originally, Sun Zhengguo was going to call Vice Minister Bai again, but then he remembered that Bai had tricked him, so he decided to leave him hanging and let him worry about it.
After finishing the call, Sun Zhengguo conjured two small black bottles on the table with a thought.
Then he took a newspaper, wrapped the small black bottle in it, went downstairs, and went to the machine factory through a small gate in the wall.
In the factory director's office, Director Li had just returned from inspecting the workshops.
Before she could even sit down, she saw Sun Zhengguo coming over with some things.
Upon seeing the shape of the newspaper wrapping, Director Li's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Sun, what are you holding in your hand?"
Sun Zhengguo didn't waste any words and simply placed the package on the table.
"Director Li, I need to talk to you about something today, that's why I've brought a gift!"
"Mr. Sun, stop with the nonsense. With our relationship, if you need something from me, it means you respect me. Do you really need to bring me gifts?"
Although Director Li talked a big game, his actions were anything but slow.
He had already opened the newspaper package and saw the little black bottle he had been longing for inside; he had completely forgotten what he had just said.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun. I definitely wouldn't accept any other gift, but this...this...?"
"Take it! Director Li, I really have something to ask you." Sun Zhengguo waved his hand, not caring at all.
"Alright, Mr. Sun, what's the matter? Just say it, no need to be polite." Director Li put the wine away and then asked.
"Director Li, I have a second uncle in the countryside. Now that his son has moved to the city, we, as the younger generation, can't just leave him alone in the countryside. So, I was wondering if your factory has any suitable jobs for him?"
"Oh! By the way, my second uncle isn't that old this year, only 43 years old, and he's also a pretty good carpenter."
Sun Zhengguo didn't know if the machinery factory had any suitable carpentry jobs, but he still explained it to him.
After listening to Sun Zhengguo's introduction, Director Li understood that this must be his uncle; otherwise, who would have arranged for someone over forty years old to work in the factory?
Therefore, this person must be assigned to a position and given special attention.
