Chapter 140 Zhao Yunsheng returns to work and prepares to get a sterilization.
Wang Ying caught a glimpse of her mother's regretful expression. Her gaze didn't linger, but she felt a sense of deep emotion. People are truly strange. In her past life, she'd been so kind to her parents, a perfectly filial daughter, yet they'd always taken it for granted, even going so far as to cover up for Wang Hui and Du Jianguo. In this life, she'd been so cold to them, and yet they seemed to have repented.
However, no matter how much they repented, Wang Ying would never treat them without any grudges, and it was even more impossible for her to be a perfect filial daughter like she was in her previous life.
The guests left one after another, leaving only relatives at home.
Wang Hui came upstairs and called Li Fengju, "Mom, are you coming home?"
Li Fengju looked at Wang Ying, and Wang Ying said, "You should go back and rest. You must be tired from running around today."
"Okay, then I'll go back first. If you want to open the window, open it at noon and close it quickly after a while. Don't forget it when you fall asleep." Li Fengju reminded.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "I know."
Wang Yongren also came upstairs. He'd had a few drinks today, but not much. His face was slightly flushed, and he seemed in a good mood. Wang Ying's colleagues and colleagues were all very polite to him. Middle-aged and older men appreciate being treated with respect, and Old Wang was no exception.
"Why don't you let your mother stay here to take care of you during the confinement period?" said Wang Yongren.
Wang Ying said, "Mom is still at work, so just come when you're free."
"Then you decide. If your mother-in-law is too busy, ask your mother to come over." Wang Yongren didn't force her; he just said it casually. He walked over to the desk and looked at the newspaper on the wall. His daughter and son-in-law were really promising!
"You guys go back. Dad has been drinking. Be careful when riding your bike," said Wang Ying.
Wang Yongren and his wife and Wang Hui left together. Huanhuan loved her sister and brother and didn't want to leave. She cried and wanted to stay, but was finally forcibly taken away by Wang Hui.
Huanhuan cried all the way, asking for a sister and a brother, and was still sobbing when she got home.
Huanhuan doesn't usually cry, and Sun Qiaoling couldn't bear to part with her granddaughter. She asked her, "Honey, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"No, I want my sister and brother." Huanhuan said.
Wang Hui said angrily, "She has been playing with the children of my eldest sister's two aunts today and refused to leave."
Sun Qiaoling smiled and said, "Huanhuan wants a brother or sister. How about asking mom to give birth to a brother for you?"
Huanhuan thought for more than ten seconds and said, "That's fine."
"So good." Sun Qiaoling said and glanced at Wang Hui and Du Jianguo.
Wang Hui pretended not to understand what Sun Qiaoling meant by her eyes and turned back to her room. She didn't want to have a child. Giving birth to one would take half her life away. Du Jianguo's face was also grim. He wanted to have another son, but unfortunately his second son was not up to par!
Sun Qiaoling sighed inwardly at the sight of them both like this. When Du Weimin came home for the New Year, he told her to persuade Wang Hui to have another child. He said the family couldn't have a son, as it would mean the end of the family lineage.
Of course, Sun Qiaoling wanted a grandson, but seeing how chaotic Wang Hui and Du Jianguo's lives were, and the nonsense Wang Hui spouted from time to time, she knew she probably wouldn't have one. Her expression turned somewhat complicated as she looked at Huanhuan.
When the Wangs returned home, Wang Yongren said, "Yingzi is doing really well at work. Her leaders and colleagues all think highly of her."
Li Fengju hummed, "That's right, her director treats her better than you, her father."
"Huh? Which director, Director Xiang?" Wang Yongren asked.
"Yeah." Li Fengju told Wang Yongren about Director Xiang. Wang Yongren was silent for a long time before saying, "It's really not easy for a leader to achieve this."
"I think Yingzi is very close to him, closer than to you." Li Fengju sighed, "We are only related by blood. Look at Yingzi's in-laws, her friends, her leaders and colleagues. She treats them badly. Her two friends named Gu gave her a big gold lock and a jade pendant, both of which are good things. It doesn't matter to Yingzi whether she has us or not."
Wang Yongren remained silent. He could also see that Wang Ying's father-in-law was extremely satisfied with her and only hated that Wang Ying was not his biological daughter.
After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "Let's treat her better in the future and make up for it as much as we can."
Li Fengju nodded without saying anything.
In the blink of an eye, Yueyue was one month old and Wang Ying was out of confinement.
On the day she was released from confinement, Wang Ying took a hearty bath. Luckily, it was winter; if it were summer, she would have fought with her mother-in-law and mother to get out of it. She had asked for a bath several times during her confinement, but each time she was strictly forbidden.
Wang Ying took a shower, Yueyue also took a shower, and the sheets and quilts were changed and washed. Wang Ying felt like he had lost two pounds.
After her confinement, Wang Ying wanted to go back to work. She shared her thoughts with her family, and they supported her. This was largely because most female employees at the time did the same: return to work after their confinement. They didn't have to worry about their children, as most workplaces had childcare centers and kindergartens to ensure a normal life for dual-income families.
However, Wang Ying didn't want to bring her child to the workplace. She lived close to the workplace, only about ten minutes' walk away, or a few minutes' ride on a bike. She would feed the child once before leaving every morning, and again when she came back at noon. If that didn't work, she could just come back in the afternoon to feed the child again.
Wang Ying expressed his thoughts to his family, who all supported him.
Chen Xiuqin said, "When the weather gets warmer and Yueyue is a little older, if she's really hungry, I can bring her over to you to feed her, or give her some extra milk powder. It's no problem."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "That's fine, but it will be hard for Mom."
"Why bother? Children grow up fast. It's only difficult for this first year. It will be easier after they are weaned," said Chen Xiuqin.
After Wang Ying came out of confinement, the couple discussed one thing: Zhao Yunsheng was going to get a sterilization.
Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin both disagreed with this matter.
"What do you mean? You only want Yueyue and won't have any more children in the future?" Chen Xiuqin said, her tone showing a rare serious anger, to both Zhao Yunsheng and Wang Ying.
"Well, we only want Yueyue." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"That won't work," Chen Xiuqin said. "Regardless of gender, there should be two or three sisters. This way you'll have companionship in the future and can discuss things with each other. Just because you don't want it now doesn't mean you won't want it in the future. What if you regret having a sterilization later? Anyway, I don't agree. When your eldest sister gets home from get off work, I'll find her and ask the hospital not to do it for you."
Zhao Yunsheng was about to say something, but Wang Ying spoke first, "Then don't get the vasectomy for now."
Chen Xiuqin said with some satisfaction: "That's right, you are right to listen to your mother. If you don't want to have a baby now, you can wait two years."
After the two went upstairs, Zhao Yunsheng asked Wang Ying, "We agreed to 'fight' together, why did you surrender so quickly?"
Wang Ying smiled and said, "I just don't want to make Mom angry. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, whether you get sterilized or not, we won't have any children. They can't control our room."
After a few years, family planning will become a national policy, and they will not be able to have children even if they want to.
Zhao Yunsheng actually wanted to get sterilized sooner rather than later, mainly because wearing birth control products made such a huge difference...
But indeed, he had no confidence in convincing his parents, so he could only compromise temporarily.
The next day, Zhao Yunfei talked to them about this.
"Mom said Yunsheng wants to get a sterilization?" Zhao Yunfei asked.
"Well, we only want Yueyue. We don't want to have any more children. We think it would be easier if we get a sterilization," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"You should think about it again. Many people in our hospital regretted having had vasectomies and came to the hospital to make trouble," said Zhao Yunfei.
Zhao Yunsheng was speechless: "I'm not the kind of impulsive person. Yingzi and I have thought it over carefully and decided to have a child."
"Then you should take measures first. Mom is afraid that you will pretend to obey but disobey, so she specifically told me that if you dare to go to the hospital, she will not only make trouble in our hospital, but also in your unit." Zhao Yunfei said.
Zhao Yunsheng laughed: "She wouldn't try to scare people."
"Anyway, don't be angry with her." After saying that, Zhao Yunfei took out a handful of condoms from her pocket and gave them to them. "Here, here you go. By the way, you can use them during breastfeeding. Many people think that you can't get pregnant during breastfeeding, but that's not true."
"I know, I know."
Zhao Yunsheng felt he would have to get his family planning products elsewhere; he felt his sex life was completely controlled by his elder sister. He still remembered the time when he asked Zhao Yunfei for family planning products and she had said, "You guys use them up so quickly, do you come every day?" Even Zhao Yunsheng, a thick-skinned man, couldn't withstand that blow to his soul.
On April 1, 1978, Wang Ying officially returned to work at the non-staple food factory. She was a little plumper than before giving birth and seemed to have grown taller.
Because Director Zhao would show her the reports and talk to her about the factory every day after returning home, Wang Ying did not feel uncomfortable after returning to the factory, as if she had only been away for a few days.
It was the beginning of the month, and Wang Ying had a meeting right after returning. Wang Ying barely spoke during the meeting, simply listening intently. At the end of the meeting, Director Qian welcomed Wang Ying back.
After the meeting, Wang Ying and Director Xiang returned to the office together.
The old factory building was renovated, and Wang Ying and Director Xiang moved into a new office. A telephone was installed in the office. The phone was installed on Director Xiang's desk, and next to it was a phone book with the numbers of some sister companies recorded.
After a while in the office, Director Xiang said, "You don't have to rush back to work. You should rest for a while."
"That's enough. I've already had many more days off than others." Wang Ying said with a smile, "Director, I'm back. You can rest assured and move on to a wider world!"
Director Xiang rolled his eyes at her, then picked up a pile of documents on his desk and placed them in front of Wang Ying.
"Now that you're back, all of this is left to you," said Director Xiang.
"No problem!" Wang Ying was not at all afraid when facing these documents. She came back to take over the job.
Director Xiang returned to his desk, which was empty. He laughed at himself and sighed.
Wang Ying looked at him and said, "Director, what's wrong with you? You sighed as soon as I came back."
"I'm looking at your documents, not sighing at you," said Director Xiang.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Director, which school are you going to? Gu Xuan and Gu Mei both went to Beijing. Will you go to a school there?"
"Maybe, let's go to Shanghai." Director Xiang said.
"Shanghai is pretty good too." Wang Ying remembered that they had gone to Shanghai together before. Director Xiang went out every night. He had acquaintances in Shanghai, so going there would be a good opportunity to find them. "When are we going?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to kick me out so badly, just take my place." Director Xiang said unhappily.
"Oh, I'm just afraid of tripping you up and delaying the country's development and the nation's future!" said Wang Ying.
"Don't flatter me. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait a little longer," said Director Xiang.
Wang Ying stopped messing around with Director Xiang, knowing he had his own plans. She began to work on the documents seriously.
Director Zhao showed Wang Ying many documents. She took out the notes she had made at home and reorganized the data and content she wanted.
After a busy morning, Wang Ying rode his bike home immediately at lunchtime.
Wang Ying gets off work at 12 o'clock and arrives home at 12:10.
"Oh, you're back so soon." Chen Xiuqin came out of the kitchen when she saw Wang Ying coming back.
"How was it? Was there any trouble this morning?" Wang Ying asked as he parked the car.
"She didn't make a fuss and slept the whole time. She woke up once, but I changed her diaper and she went back to sleep," Chen Xiuqin said. "She's a good child. I don't worry about her."
Wang Ying went to the main room and found Yueyue sleeping in her crib. After checking her diaper, she found it was wet again. While Wang Ying was changing her diaper, she woke up and started looking for food.
There was no one at home, so Wang Ying was feeding Yueyue in the main room. Yueyue fell asleep again while eating.
After putting Yueyue back in her crib, Wang Ying went to eat. Chen Xiuqin had prepared chicken noodle soup, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each had a large bowl. After dinner, Wang Ying rested for a while and fed Yueyue again before going to work.
"If your fever doesn't swell much in the afternoon, you don't have to come back. If she wakes up and wants to eat, I'll feed her with milk powder. If she doesn't wake up, I'll wait for you to come back from get off work to feed her." Chen Xiuqin said.
"That's fine." Wang Ying thought this was fine, so she didn't go home that afternoon. But as soon as work was over, she was the first one to rush out of the office and rush to the carport to get her car and take it home.
After Xu Lili and the others slowly finished their shift, they were disappointed to find Director Wang missing. Since Director Wang had to go home for lunch and leave as soon as she got off work in the evening, they didn't have time to spend with her.
After Wang Ying arrived home, she took Yueyue upstairs to feed her. Not long after, Zhao Yunsheng came back.
"How was your day today?" Zhao Yunsheng asked as soon as he came back.
"I came back to feed him at noon, but didn't come back in the afternoon," said Wang Ying.
"Are you at work? Are you used to it?" Zhao Yunsheng asked, teasing his daughter's face.
"It's a habit. Director Xiang gave me a pile of documents and asked me to look at them. I just happened to sort them out." Wang Ying said.
The two were chatting about family matters when they heard Li Fengju's voice downstairs.
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and said, "Mom came to see you again. She's worried about you."
Li Fengju and Chen Xiuqin talked for a while downstairs before coming upstairs.
"How was your day today?" Li Fengju asked.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Mom, the questions you asked your son-in-law are exactly the same."
Li Fengju smiled and said, "What else can I ask?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry, Yueyue is very well behaved." Wang Ying said.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Li Fengju interrupted her quickly, "Children can't be praised."
Wang Ying understood that this was a folk taboo. The younger the child, the more they were forbidden to praise. They couldn't praise them for being well behaved or having good health. According to folklore, praising a child for being well would cause them to become upset later; praising them for having good health would cause them to become ill. In short, they couldn't praise their children.
Wang Ying didn't accuse her mother of being superstitious. After all, the older generation had all lived that way. At times like this, it was okay to just go along with them.
Li Fengju cared for Wang Ying for a while, held Yueyue for a while, and went back directly without staying for dinner.
After Li Fengju left, Chen Xiuqin and Zhao Yunfei said, "Yingzi's mother has been running around quite frequently recently. It seems like she's come to her senses and now treats Yingzi like a real mother."
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "They're not fools. They'll still be counting on Yingzi in the future, or on her little girl? I think Yingzi is quite indifferent to her mother, a bit polite. She's not as close as most mothers and daughters."
"I hurt Yingzi deeply in the past, and Yingzi can see it clearly," said Chen Xiuqin.
-
It had been a month since Wang Ying returned to work, and Director Xiang hadn't left yet. It was May Day again, and this year Wang Ying also attended the city's commendation meeting, but she spoke as a representative of model workers and, incidentally, presented awards to this year's model workers, giving her another chance to shine.
After May Day, Director Xiang finally asked Wang Ying, "Do you have any new ideas?"
"Huh? What is the director asking?" Wang Ying was a little confused.
"You should come up with your new ideas and new products, and then strike while the iron is hot. When I leave, you will take over, which is just perfect," said Director Xiang.
Wang Ying didn't expect Director Xiang to be so thoughtful about her and said, "It's true."
"Then you say." Director Xiang sat up straight.
"I want to make a sandwich cookie," said Wang Ying.
"How do you make the sandwich?" Director Xiang asked.
"Three layers, two layers of biscuits, and a layer of filling in the middle." Wang Ying said, drew a picture on the paper, and then said, "The filling in the middle can be changed to various flavors, cream flavor, strawberry flavor..." Wang Ying was about to say chocolate flavor, but remembered that there seemed to be no chocolate in China now, at least it was not popular yet.
"It looks like it should be delicious," Director Xiang said. "Did you see it in Shanghai?"
"Yeah." Wang Ying responded casually, but in fact he had eaten it in his previous life.
"Then let's do it," Director Xiang said. "Without a formula, the research and development will take a long time."
Wang Ying said: "The biscuits are easy to make, but the filling is a bit difficult. I have never made it before and I can't find the recipe on the market."
"Creating something from scratch is the hardest." Director Xiang nodded and said, "But there's no need to rush. Submit the proposal, then pass the requirements on to your subordinates, and finally check it yourself. It should be done."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as the Director says. I hope I won't keep him waiting too long."
"A few months early or late won't make a difference," Director Xiang said. "I hope you can make a product more successful than Digital Cookies."
Wang Ying was confident. How popular were sandwich cookies in his previous life? Unfortunately, they were mostly foreign brands.
After discussing the sandwich issue with Director Xiang, Wang Ying began to write a plan, and three days later the plan appeared in front of Director Zhao.
"It's been two years since the launch of the digital biscuits, so it's time to launch a new product," said Director Zhao. "With the opportunities opened up by the digital biscuits, this biscuit shouldn't be a problem selling well."
"Yes, compared to digital cookies which are suitable for preschool children, this type of cookie is suitable for slightly older children, or even adults," said Wang Ying.
Director Qian didn't block Wang Ying's plan. With the success of Digital Biscuits, he was no longer the director who had been so focused on training Wang Ying. He now wanted to create more products that could be sold nationwide.
The members of the development team are now working in the previous office. After Wang Ying's plan was approved, he took the plan and went straight back to this office.
"Director!" When Xu Lili saw Wang Ying coming, she jumped up and hugged her.
Zhou Qianjin was also a little excited: "Director, you haven't been to this office for a long time!"
Wang Ying raised the file bag in his hand: "New products are here."
