A moment later, Xiao Wang came in from outside, carrying an unassuming black bottle and a wine cup.
When Mr. Lai saw the packaging, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha!"
"It seems to be homemade wine. It feels just like the small taverns I used to go to when I was young. They just picked a bottle, poured it in, and sold it for money."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang smiled as well, "Mr. Lai is right. I wonder what the taste is like?"
"Hey! You can't say that. This is just a kind gesture from Comrade Zheng Guo. Besides, he's a master at research, so I'm sure his wines won't be bad either."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lai is right."
As the two were talking, Xiao Wang opened the bottle cap, and instantly a refreshing aroma of wine filled the air.
The sudden scent of this fragrance always makes me feel much more refreshed.
"You're talking big too soon! I knew it! Comrade Zhengguo will do anything right."
"Hehehe!" Xiao Wang just laughed awkwardly, then quickly poured himself a glass.
The next second, Xiao Wang was stunned, "Mr. Lai, why is this wine golden yellow? Should we...?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Zheng Guo is such an outstanding comrade, he's not what you imagine him to be."
Before Xiao Wang could react, Mr. Lai grabbed his wine glass and took a small sip.
"Good wine, more mellow and fragrant than any wine I've ever tasted, and...?" Mr. Lai was still slowly savoring it.
"And what?" Xiao Wang asked with some concern.
If something really goes wrong, he'd be tempted to kill himself.
"Moreover, it warms the stomach and makes the whole body feel comfortable, which suggests that it must contain a lot of medicinal ingredients."
Hearing that Xiao Wang had said it all in one breath, Xiao Wang was finally relieved.
"Come, come, good things shouldn't be enjoyed alone. Xiao Wang, go get a cup and have a drink with me."
Seeing Mr. Lai's concern, Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately brought the cup.
That night, in high spirits, the two of them finished the entire bottle of wine.
At the same time, he also had a good night's sleep, so much so that he woke up the next day feeling full of energy.
From then on, whenever Mr. Lai worked late, he would have a small glass of wine.
However, he wasn't a heavy drinker, only having one or two cups each time. Sun Zhengguo's big case contained more than twenty bottles, enough to keep him drinking for a while.
...
Time flies, and more than a month has passed. On this day, Zhou Weimin walked excitedly into Sun Zhengguo's office.
"Director, good news! After more than a month of hard work, we have completed the task you assigned ahead of schedule, and all 100,000 antennas have been put into storage."
"OK!"
Sun Zhengguo stood up happily, looked at his brother-in-law's dark circles, and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.
"Weimin, you've worked hard these past few days, but I still maintain that production must not stop, the more the better, so please keep going."
“I will.” Zhou Weimin nodded.
Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Sun Zhengguo picked it up and heard his mother's voice on the other end.
"Zhengguo, Weihua is about to give birth and has been sent to the Sixth Hospital. Tell Zhengnan to go there as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand, Mom. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Sun Zhengguo saw that Zhou Weimin was still there and quickly gave him instructions.
"Weimin, I'll arrange the delivery for you in a bit. Go and call Zhengnan first, then call your second uncle. Go to the Sixth Hospital. Your sister, Zhou Weihua, might be about to give birth."
"Oh, I'll go right away. I'll have to ask the director to arrange the production matters."
As he spoke, Zhou Weimin hurriedly walked out, and Sun Zhengguo quickly reminded him again.
"Go in my car!"
"Thank you, brother." After saying that, Zhou Weimin had already walked away.
Sun Zhengguo smiled and shook his head. This week, Weimin had been working at the institute in a very proper manner. It was rare for him to call him "Big Brother" again today. It was quite something!
After finishing his work, Sun Zhengguo went to the antenna factory and instructed several workshop directors to take charge of production.
Then, he went to the small workshop to check on the engine production.
Because there are many parts, the process remains incredibly slow and seems to have no end in sight.
...
And so it went until it was time to leave work. Just when Sun Zhengguo thought he would have to walk home today, Sun Zhengnan returned.
His beaming expression as soon as he walked in gave him away.
"Hey! Zheng Nan, why did you come back instead of being at the hospital with your wife?" Sun Zhengguo teased deliberately.
"Hehehe!" Sun Zhengnan scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Brother, I've come to pick you up and take you home. I also have some good news to tell you. I have a son now, and I've named him Sun Shuxing. What do you think?"
“Hmm!” Sun Zhengguo began to scrutinize the words, “Xing means prosperity, flourishing, thriving, and development, representing a positive and upward attitude, not bad, not bad.”
After hearing Sun Zhengguo's analysis, Sun Zhengnan felt a blush creep up his face.
I only thought about being happy; there were no other implications. How come my older brother came up with so many interpretations?
...
That evening, Sun Zhengguo took the heavily pregnant Ning Xiaowei to the hospital to visit Zhou Weihua.
The adults are in good condition, the children are safe and sound, and the second uncle's family is very happy, enjoying a harmonious family reunion.
A few days later, Zhou Weihua was discharged from the hospital. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Ning Xiaowei was sent to the hospital again.
Upon receiving the news, Sun Zhengguo immediately contacted Li Shengli and Zhang Huaibei to explain the situation.
"Old Li, Old Zhang, I need to ask for leave to go to the hospital. My wife is about to give birth, so I'll have to trouble you two to take care of her."
"Go ahead, go ahead! Giving birth is a big deal, don't worry about us at the institute," Li Shengli urged with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, we're here." Zhang Huaibei nodded in agreement.
"Alright, thank you both for your understanding. I'll treat you to drinks when I get back."
Sun Zhengguo said a few polite words, then turned and went downstairs, called his cousin to drive to the hospital...
Upon arriving at the hospital, seeing his family and mother-in-law there, Sun Zhengguo quickly greeted them and then went to visit his wife.
Ning Xiaowei, as a mother of two, is very familiar with the process of childbirth.
Therefore, even though it was painful, she could endure it, though she did sweat a lot on her face.
Sun Zhengguo could clearly see his wife's condition, so he tried to persuade her.
"Honey, are you alright? If you can't hold it in, just shout out a couple of times; that will help ease the pain."
"It's okay, Zhengguo. I know my own situation. I should be giving birth soon. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Seeing his wife so stubborn, all Sun Zhengguo could do was wipe her sweat and whisper words of comfort; there was nothing else he could do.
After all, he can't have her child.
An hour later, after a doctor's examination, Ning Xiaowei was wheeled into the delivery room.
The delivery went smoothly, taking less than 40 minutes, and the baby was born.
"Congratulations to Ning Xiaowei's family! She has given birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 7 pounds and 6 ounces. Both mother and child are doing well."
Hearing the midwife's words, the people waiting outside were relieved.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
...
Soon, after the cleaning was completed, Ning Xiaowei and the newborn were wheeled out of the delivery room together.
