At lunchtime, the Sun family's house was unusually lively, with everyone gathered together, happily eating, drinking, and chatting.
After lunch, at the request of several people, Sun Zhengguo took everyone on a drive around in batches, which satisfied everyone's vanity.
They chatted until 3 p.m., and then Sun Zhengguo, seeing that it was getting late, took his second aunt and drove towards the city.
After an hour of bumpy travel, the car finally returned to Beijing.
However, Sun Zhengguo did not return to the small courtyard, but drove directly to the courtyard house.
Goodness, it's the weekend, and everyone in the yard is here. When the car pulls up at the gate, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be.
Although everyone knew that Sun Zhengguo was provided with a car, very few people had actually seen it.
As soon as Sun Zhengguo got out of the car, it was surrounded by a group of people. Fortunately, several people had already gotten out of the car, otherwise, they might not have been able to get out.
"Jung-guk, this car is really beautiful, and it's still a new car."
"Old classmate, this car is really awesome. I think it's even better than our Deputy Factory Director Li's car."
"..."
The old guys were still reserved, only looking and not touching, but the young people, represented by Sha Zhu, were not so particular, touching everything with their hands while praising it incessantly.
Sun Zhengguo smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he told his grandfather and the others to go back to the courtyard first.
After his grandparents left, Sun Zhengguo started chatting with the group of people.
In the end, Sun Zhengguo couldn't stand being pestered by these people, so he brought along Liu Haizhong, Shazhu, Xu Damao, and others to experience what it's like to be a leader for free.
...
Time flies, and another 20 days have passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Li, who had already finished her postpartum confinement, was finally restless and was considering when to go back to work.
As for what to do with the children? That's not even on the agenda.
Because of my second aunt and Aunt Chen from the backyard, taking care of the two children was like child's play.
Moreover, Sun Shuxuan is already able to walk, so there's no need to carry her every day, which reduces the difficulty considerably.
Ever since my second aunt moved to the city, she's been eating and living well every day. She spends her free time taking care of the kids and chatting with a bunch of old women about gossip. She's living a very comfortable life, almost to the point of forgetting her homeland.
As for Aunt Chen in the backyard, Lin Wencui never mistreated her when she was helping to take care of Yu Li during her postpartum period. She would always share some of the good things with her.
So much so that during this year of famine, Aunt Chen's family was not affected at all; on the contrary, their lives improved.
That day, as soon as Sun Zheng'an got home from get off work, Yu Li couldn't help but say something.
"Zheng'an, I've finished my postpartum confinement period. When do you think I can go back to work?"
Sun Zheng'an put down his briefcase, looked at Yu Li with a puzzled expression, and then said, "The child is still young, why don't we wait a little longer?"
"Zhengan, don't worry. After I go back to work, I'll come home for lunch every day, which will be perfect for feeding the baby. We also have formula and malted milk powder at home, so our child won't go hungry."
Yu Li expressed her thoughts, then stared at Sun Zheng'an with expectant eyes, as if she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
"Hehe! Why are you looking at me like that? If you want to go, then go! Oh! By the way, what kind of work are you planning to do after you get into the factory? I'll have my older brother give you a heads-up."
Sun Zheng'an felt a little uneasy under his wife's gaze and had no choice but to give in.
"Zheng'an, I'm thinking of doing what Mom did and working at the Women's Federation. What do you think?"
"Going to the Women's Federation is great! If there's anything you don't understand, I can teach you."
Just as Yu Li finished speaking, a voice came from the doorway; it was Lin Wencui, who had just finished get off work.
"Mom! I'm off work."
The young couple greeted Lin Wencui when she returned.
"Hmm! Yu Li, have you thought it through? Do you really want to join the Women's Federation?" Lin Wencui asked again.
"I've made up my mind, so I'll go to the Women's Federation."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's final decision, Lin Wencui nodded, "Okay!"
"Zheng'an, talk to Zheng Guo tomorrow and let him decide how to arrange it!"
"Okay!"
Sun Zheng'an replied with a smile.
The next morning, on his way to work, Sun Zheng'an told his older brother about it.
Sun Zhengguo said that these were minor matters and he would take care of them as soon as he got to work.
After arriving at the Machinery Institute, the group separated. Sun Zhengguo stayed in his office until 9 o'clock before taking two packets of tea to Director Li's office.
"Hey! Engineer Sun, what brings you here? Please have a seat."
When Director Li saw Sun Zhengguo arrive, he quickly stood up to warmly welcome him and then prepared to make tea.
"No need, no need, Director Li, I've already prepared it!"
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he took out two packets of tea and handed them to Director Li.
"Oh dear! Engineer Sun, how could I possibly ask you to provide tea leaves when you've come all this way?"
Although Director Li spoke frankly, he acted swiftly, reaching out to take the tea leaves, as if afraid that Sun Zhengguo would change his mind.
"Hey! I was in the countryside recently, right? I found some, so I brought it over for you to try."
Sun Zhengguo said nonchalantly.
After all, you can't just ask someone for a favor without any real promises. If this goes on for a long time, you'll probably lose all your friends in the end.
"Thank you, Engineer Sun, but I'm unworthy of such a gift." After saying this, Factory Manager Li skillfully opened the tea bag and brewed two cups of tea.
The two then chatted about all sorts of things until just before leaving, when Sun Zhengguo casually mentioned Yu Li.
Factory Director Li wasn't stupid; of course he understood what was going on. The two chatted idly for a while, and that was the real purpose of Sun Zhengguo's visit.
Factory Director Li then stated that he would personally arrange the matter.
After finishing his business, Sun Zhengguo took his leave and returned to his office. He then called his younger brother and asked him to bring Yu Li to start work the next day.
So, the next day, one more person joined the group of people hitching a ride: Yu Li.
After arriving at the machinery factory, Sun Zhengguo parked the car and then gave instructions to his younger brother.
"Zheng'an, you accompany Yu Li to complete the onboarding procedures. Go directly to Section Chief Hu in the Personnel Department. I won't go."
"Okay! Thanks, bro."
"Thank you, brother."
After thanking them, the couple got off the bus and went to the personnel department of the machinery factory.
Sun Zheng'an knew that his elder brother had taken care of everything, so when he arrived at the personnel department, he went directly to Section Chief Hu.
"Hello Section Chief Hu, I am Sun Zheng'an from the Mechanical Research Institute. I am here with my wife today to start our new job. This is our letter of introduction."
Upon entering the office, Sun Zheng'an greeted him politely, then took out a cigarette and offered one to Section Chief Hu.
"Oh, brother, I've been waiting for you. Please have a seat, I'll handle it for you personally."
Section Chief Hu accepted the cigarette with unusual politeness, as if the two were old friends, even though this was the first time they had met today.
"Thank you, Section Chief Hu."
After the couple sat down, Sun Zheng'an politely thanked them again.
Yu Li, standing to the side, was secretly surprised, never expecting her older brother to have such influence.
It seems that no one will make things difficult for me if I work here in the future.
