Chapter 84 Order "We received an order from Nan Chong!"...
Wang Hui's voice drew the attention of everyone in the main room. Li Fengju called out to her, "Hui Hui, what are you doing?"
Wang Hui returned to the main hall in anger. She sat down and began to complain, "My elder sister is really weird! I was clearly doing this for her own good, but she still scolded me!"
Zhao Yunsheng was unhappy. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Your elder sister wouldn't curse for no reason. It must be something you said that offended her."
"I advised her to have a child as soon as possible, and she got angry. What's wrong with what I said?" Wang Hui did not mention that she asked Wang Ying to see a doctor.
Zhao Yunsheng said, "Our Yingzi is in the ascendant of her career and isn't in a rush to have a child. She's still young and thin, and having a child so early would definitely harm her health. We can't bear that. So, my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry so much."
Zhao Yunsheng's words evoked a sour look on the faces of everyone at the table. The Wang couple felt their son-in-law was criticizing them, saying Wang Ying was thin, implying they hadn't taken good care of her. Du Jianguo also felt his brother-in-law was criticizing him. Wang Hui was two years younger than Wang Ying, and the Du family couldn't bear to see her suffer.
Wang Hui was muttering to herself, "What's the rush? I still can't get pregnant! Your kindness is taken for granted! If she doesn't have to worry about it, then she won't do it. She'll wait three to five years and see. If she still can't get pregnant, she'll see how anxious their family is. Then she'll just hold her son and watch the show unfold!"
"I'm meddling in other people's business." Wang Hui said with a straight face.
Wang Yongren was also unhappy, but he was still tolerant of his son-in-law and said to Wang Hui, "Don't be so nosy. Just take care of yourself."
Wang Hui turned around and went back to her room.
At the dinner table, the food was cold, the atmosphere was cold, and the family dinner ended abruptly.
Zhao Yunsheng and Du Jianguo helped Li Fengju clean up the dishes. Seeing that her two sons-in-law were busy, Li Fengju felt a little comforted.
When Li Fengju and Zhao Yunsheng were the only ones left in the kitchen, Li Fengju asked, "Yunsheng, tell Mom the truth, are you really not in a hurry to have a child? Do your parents have any objections?"
"Really? Scientifically speaking, it's good for both adults and children if a woman gives birth after the age of 24. Our family is really not in a hurry," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Li Fengju immediately thought of Wang Hui. Huihui was only eighteen years old, too young. What should she do? But she was already pregnant and couldn't have an abortion.
"It's fine as long as you have your own ideas." Li Fengju didn't know what to say to Zhao Yunsheng anymore. A married girl belonged to someone else. As long as the Zhao family had no objection, what else could she say?
Zhao Yunsheng left the kitchen and found that only his father-in-law was in the main room.
"Yunsheng, come and sit down." Wang Yongren said.
Zhao Yunsheng sat down and took action against Wang Yongren.
"Is Yingzi really in the rising period of her career at work?" Wang Yongren asked.
Zhao Yunsheng nodded. "Really? This year, she single-handedly handled everything from product selection to production, packaging, and distribution. Yingzi is capable, and the leaders all appreciate her."
Wang Yongren nodded silently and thought to himself, what a pity it’s a daughter, and she’s married.
"This girl is not noticeable at home and her personality is not as lively as others. I didn't expect that she would be so popular in the workplace after she started working," said Wang Yongren.
Zhao Yunsheng snorted in his heart, "You don't understand Yingzi at all! You can't see Yingzi's good points at all!"
"Everyone has their strengths. Yingzi is very capable at work and she loves her job. Our whole family supports her," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"It's her blessing to marry into your family," said Wang Yongren.
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and said, "Dad, you're wrong. It's my blessing to marry Yingzi. My dad always says that Yingzi will definitely be more successful than me in the future."
In the room, Du Jianguo and Wang Hui listened to what Zhao Yunsheng and Wang Yongren said, and Wang Hui almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
Wang Hui still remembered that in her past life, Zhao Yunsheng had said, "Marrying you is the most unfortunate thing that has ever happened to me!" Was marrying her elder sister a blessing for him in this life? Was she really that inferior to her? But Zhao Yunsheng's father was right. Zhao Yunsheng was a loser! In her past life, she had simply burned his manuscripts, and he had been devastated and had ignored her ever since... He was a loser and had no conscience!
Du Jianguo felt depressed and uncomfortable. He couldn't help but think that if he had not listened to his mother and grandmother and asked for a marriage exchange, he would be the one marrying Wang Ying now.
Wang Ying carried Dongbao for a walk outside. When they came back, Dongbao started to make a fuss about wanting to go home.
Seeing the child making a fuss, Li Fengju asked Wang Ying and the others to go back first. Before they left, Li Fengju called Wang Ying into the room to talk.
"Yingzi, I heard from Yunsheng that you don't plan to have children for the time being?"
"Well, not for now." Wang Ying said without any emotion.
Li Fengju had been hoping that Wang Ying would have a child sooner so that she could understand her mother's painstaking efforts. Unexpectedly, Wang Ying decided not to have a child for the time being. Seeing her cold and indifferent attitude towards her, Li Fengju felt distressed.
"Then don't wait too late. You can have the baby in one or two years at most. If you just get married, everything will be fine. But after a long time, it will be hard to say. A woman who marries into her husband's family but doesn't have children is almost like an outsider. Only by having children can she gain a foothold in her husband's family." Li Fengju advised earnestly.
"What era is your perverse logic?" Wang Ying rolled her eyes at her mother. "Don't bother me. I can have a baby if I want to, and I can not if I don't want to. Just worry about Wang Hui. You don't need to worry about my affairs. I am the eldest sister. I can handle anything I need."
Li Fengju was speechless after hearing what her eldest daughter said, "You are the eldest sister, can't you take care of everything? You have to rely on us for everything." She had said this to Yingzi before, and now Yingzi said it back to her.
What Lao Wang said was right. Girls always hold grudges, especially against their own parents.
"Forget it, whatever you want." Li Fengju waved her hand weakly at Wang Ying. "Go home. Don't take Huihui's words to heart. She's like a child. She doesn't even know what she says. We're sisters after all. Don't bother with her."
Wang Ying ignored her mother and turned to walk out of the room.
"Dad, let's go back." Wang Ying said, and without waiting for Wang Yongren to say anything, he picked up Dongbao who was still making a fuss and left.
Wang Yongren looked at Wang Ying's back and felt that she seemed taller and stronger than when she was at her mother's house...
Wang Ying carried Dongbao out of Old Wang's house, and Dongbao stopped making noise immediately.
Zhao Yunsheng suspected that Yingzi and Dongbao had colluded with each other. They just didn't want to stay at Lao Wang's house. It would also be difficult for the child, who was only three years old!
When Wang Ying and the others returned home, Chen Xiuqin angrily said, "How dare you! You're just going out to eat and coming back? You didn't even play for a while. Yunsheng, don't make your father-in-law and mother-in-law angry! This is really outrageous!"
"Dongbao is making trouble, there's nothing we can do." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Dongbao hugged Wang Ying's arms and neck and said, "Grandma, there are bad people in my aunt's family, and they are quarreling with my aunt."
"Ah? Who did Yingzi quarrel with? Where did the bad guy come from?" Chen Xiuqin asked.
Wang Ying said: "My little sister, there is no quarrel, she is just meddling in other people's business."
"Oh, it's better to come back early so you can talk to your elder sister and second sister." Chen Xiuqin said.
Zhao Yunsheng said, "I'll go get my camera and take a picture."
Dongbao was delighted and clapped his hands: "Take pictures, take pictures!"
Wang Ying carried Dongbao into the main room, and Zhao Yunfei and the others greeted Wang Ying.
"Is Dongbao making trouble?" Zhao Yunfei took Dongbao from Wang Ying.
"Dongbao is not making trouble. Dongbao is a good boy." Dongbao said, patting his chest, making everyone in the room laugh.
Zhao Yunsheng went upstairs to get his camera and tripod, then stood in the yard and called out, "Where are the Zhao family members? Come out and take pictures."
Everyone in the room came out, and Zhao Yunsheng's eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law consciously brought out a chair each for Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin to sit on.
Everyone was ready. Zhao Yunsheng also set up the camera, ran to Wang Ying, put his arm around Wang Ying's shoulders, and took a family photo - Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin sat in the middle of the front row, Dongbao sat on Chen Xiuqin's lap, Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng stood behind them, and Zhao Yunfei and Zhao Yunfang stood on both sides.
After taking the complete family portrait, Zhao Yunsheng took photos of his family members separately, and finally he and Wang Ying took a group photo.
This New Year photo of Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng was taken during the Spring Festival of 1975, the first year of their marriage.
After shooting all the rolls of film, Zhao Yunsheng's brother-in-law came over and said to Zhao Yunsheng, "I have two boxes of film. I forgot to bring them this time. I'll bring them to you next time, or you can go get them."
"Okay," Zhao Yunsheng agreed. His brother-in-law had already shown his affection to him. He would take the film, but if his brother-in-law was really having an affair, he would definitely persuade his sister to divorce him.
After the lively photo shoot, Zhao Yunfei, Zhao Yunfang and the others went home.
Chen Xiuqin felt a little reluctant as she sent her daughter and son-in-law off. This day comes to every daughter who marries off; there's nothing you can do about it.
At Old Wang's house, Wang Hui stayed at her parents' home until very late. When she left, Li Fengju took all the New Year's benefits given to Wang Hui by the old couple, and also gave Wang Hui some of the gifts given by Wang Ying and others.
"Your eldest sister's family is well-off and has no shortage of food and daily necessities." This is what Li Fengju said when she gave things to Wang Hui.
Wang Hui carried her things and sat on the back of Du Jianguo's bicycle. She said proudly, "You see, my parents just like me more. I tell you, from now on, all my parents' things will be given to me. It will be your blessing if you marry me."
Du Jianguo remained silent. His mother had said that Wang Hui was favored over Wang Ying, and since the Wang family had no sons, the lion's share of inheritance would undoubtedly go to Wang Hui. Du Jianguo had been quite moved by that at the time, but now, for some reason, he couldn't resign himself to the thought of marrying Wang Ying. This seed had already taken root in Du Jianguo's heart, and he couldn't shake it.
After a day off, Wang Ying returned to work. Workshop 4 was now without a director, so Wang Ying was doing the director's job and was very busy every day.
The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and their factory will start producing dumplings again in a few days.
Unlike mooncakes, which are difficult to make at home, glutinous rice balls are simple. Just mix the glutinous rice flour and make them at home, whether you want a solid or stuffed version. But food factories still make some every year, as some people still prefer to buy ready-made ones.
Wang Ying went to Director Zhao to attend a production meeting. Director Zhao asked her what ideas she had about the production of glutinous rice balls and whether she had any improvement plans.
Wang Ying said she had no ideas and would just stick with the production schedule from previous years. It wasn't that she didn't have any, but tangyuan weren't part of her plans. She wanted to focus on snacks, not frozen instant food. The workshop's production capacity was limited, and with the added burden of producing shaqi ma, she didn't have the time to come up with new tangyuan fillings. She couldn't possibly offer everything she knew; she had to make compromises.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Ying was looking at the delivery orders of the past few days in the small office of the workshop, and compiling them into reports as he read them.
There was a knock on the office door.
A worker poked his head out and said, "Team Leader Wang, the factory manager wants you to come over."
Wang Ying put down the work in his hands and went to find Qian Tongsheng.
Before he even reached the factory director's office, he heard the laughter of the director and deputy director. Wang Ying thought to himself, what good news must have happened to make the senior leaders so happy?
Wang Ying knocked on the door and entered the office, and saw Director Zhao was also there. The "three giants" of the subsidiary food department had gathered together, and he didn't know what good news was going to happen.
Qian Tongsheng said with a smile: "Comrade Wang Ying is here, please sit down, please sit down."
Wang Ying sat down and asked, "What can the factory director do for me?"
"Good, very good!" said Qian Tongsheng.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "It must be a good thing to hear the leaders laughing outside."
Qian Tongsheng laughed twice more and said, "Nanchong has sent an order to our factory!"
"Really!" Wang Ying exclaimed in surprise. "Is it because of the products Special Envoy Tang brought back?"
"That's right!" Qian Tongsheng was very happy. In addition to canned food, they now have products that can go beyond Beichong!
"How much is the order quantity and what are you ordering? Is it a single batch or a long-term order? Who is the ordering unit?" Wang Ying was also happy and asked several questions in one breath.
"We've decided on Shaqi Ma. It's for the main department store in Nanchong. They're going to test the market with half a ton first," Qian Tongsheng said. "We'll increase or decrease the quantity based on sales."
"Half a ton is not a lot, but they don't promote it as vigorously as we do with welfare benefits, so it's reasonable to ask for this amount in the first batch," said Wang Ying.
Qian Tongsheng smiled and said, "I have confidence in our products. This order will definitely increase in the future!"
"If the orders increase further, our production capacity may not be able to keep up," said Wang Ying.
"You don't have to worry about this. As the subsequent orders increase, the factory will upgrade its workshops, and Shaqima will definitely be produced in a special workshop," said Qian Tongsheng.
"Then I'm relieved," Wang Ying said. "There's no problem with the raw materials, right?"
"Don't worry, raw materials are not a problem." Qian Tongsheng said that he was the only non-staple food factory in the entire Beichong, so the raw materials could still be supplied.
Wang Ying nodded: "How do we transport the goods? By train?"
"Well, the train is fast, economical, and convenient," Qian Tongsheng said. "We're going to give you the task of delivering the product this time. Are you willing to make this trip?"
"Yes!" Wang Ying agreed immediately. How could she not want such a good thing!
"By the way, our factory is also negotiating an order for a batch of plastic barrels with the plastic factory, and the sauce and vinegar factory will also send people there. It would be a great opportunity for you to go together then." Qian Tongsheng said.
"Okay! When do we set off?" Wang Ying asked.
"Once we contact the train and have enough cargo, we can set off," said Zheng Liancheng.
Director Zhao said at this moment: "There is not enough stock left in the warehouse. You need to speed up production. I will transfer a few people over to give you some first."
"Okay, I understand. If everything is fine, I'll go back to the workshop first." Wang Ying said.
Qian Tongsheng smiled and said, "Okay, Comrade Wang Ying, do a good job!"
"I will definitely live up to the leadership's cultivation!" Wang Ying said immediately.
"Go, go!"
Wang Ying left the factory director's office amid the smiles of the leaders.
Wang Ying returned to the workshop and clapped her hands, saying, "I have good news for everyone. Everyone, please stop for a moment. If you can't stop, continue. Don't worry about me."
"What good news?" Xu Lili asked.
"Our workshop has received an order for half a ton of shaqima from Nanchong!" said Wang Ying.
"Really? That's great!"
Who doesn't like a factory with good performance? If the factory is doing well, they will be well. If the factory fails, they will lose their jobs.
"This is all thanks to everyone! It may be a bit harder for everyone from now on, but don't worry, reinforcements from the factory will be arriving soon! Let's unite as one and strive to complete the order within two days!"
"Good!" Zhou Qianjin shouted, and other comrades also followed suit.
Seeing her colleagues' enthusiasm for work soar, Wang Ying returned to the office. Soon, the people Director Zhao had transferred arrived. There were occasional transfers in the food production workshops, and everyone was familiar with the process. After Wang Ying interviewed them and assigned them suitable positions, she went into the workshops.
That day, Wang Ying worked overtime again, working until after 9 a.m. She was so busy that she forgot about Zhao Yunsheng until she got off work and changed her clothes.
"It's over, it's over." Wang Ying muttered while changing clothes.
"What happened?" Xu Lili asked from the side.
"My boyfriend, I don't know when he'll be here. He might have been waiting here all this time!" Wang Ying stuffed his work clothes into the closet, grabbed his bag, and ran. "I'm leaving now!"
Xu Lili watched Wang Ying rush out of the locker room.
"What's wrong with the team leader?" Tian Yulan asked Xu Lili.
Xu Lili smacked her lips. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! I didn't expect the team leader to have this side of her! She's afraid her lover will wait too long for her!"
Wang Ying walked out of the factory and ran all the way to the door. When he ran in front of Zhao Yunsheng, he was already out of breath.
"When did you come?" Wang Ying asked, panting.
"Just arrived." Zhao Yunsheng said.
The doorman at the reception desk opened the small window and said, "Team Leader Wang, your wife has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I'm sorry, I forgot and didn't ask anyone to remind you to go back early," said Wang Ying.
"It's okay, I have nothing to do at home. Let's go. You must be tired." Zhao Yun said in a warm voice.
How could it be okay? Everyone has their own things to do. Zhao Yunsheng can write and read. If he can't do that, he can just lie in bed and sleep. It's so cold... Wang Ying felt very bad. Since she started working, it was Zhao Yunsheng who had been taking care of her. She had hardly done anything for him.
Zhao Yunsheng pushed the bicycle over, Wang Ying got on, hugged his waist, and put her face against his back.
After arriving home, the two of them went to the bathroom and Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng talked about why she had to work overtime so late today.
Zhao Yunsheng was also happy after hearing this: "So, you are going on a business trip to Nanchong?"
"Well, I'll go in the next few days, as soon as the leader makes arrangements." Wang Ying was also happy when he mentioned this. "I don't know what special products Nanchong has. I'll buy some back when the time comes."
"Nanchong specialty, plastic sandals." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Wang Ying laughed and said, "They don't sell sandals right now. I'll see when I get there."
Zhao Yunsheng sighed, "I really want to go with you! Can our unit also send me to Nanchong on business?"
"I'll be back in two days at most," said Wang Ying.
"It feels like a long time since we last met," Zhao Yunsheng said. "Besides, I want to accompany you, not only to Nanchong, but also to other places. I want to accompany you everywhere."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Wang Ying said firmly.
"Okay, then let's wait for another opportunity!" Zhao Yunsheng stomped the water in the foot basin hard, splashing it.
After the two of them fell asleep, Zhao Yunsheng said, "Your workshop must be too busy, right? You have to produce other products too."
"Well, the leaders said that if subsequent orders increase, we will upgrade the workshop. We have mentioned before that we will open a new workshop." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng laughed: "Our Yingzi is getting closer and closer to the position of workshop director. Young and promising! Young and promising!"
"My current job is almost the same as that of a workshop director, but my experience is too shallow. I'm afraid I won't be accepted by everyone if I become a workshop director, and the old employees will definitely have opinions," said Wang Ying.
"It doesn't matter if you have little experience. As long as you have great skills and have made great contributions, you can still succeed. When the new workshop is completed, you will definitely be the workshop director." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Maybe they'll parachute me in and assign me a deputy director or something like that," Wang Ying said. This kind of thing had happened to him in his previous life, so it wasn't surprising at all. "But even if that happens, it doesn't matter. I believe that even if the road is winding, the future is bright!"
"Well said." Zhao Yunsheng applauded Wang Ying in bed.
Three days later, the goods from the non-staple food factory were ready and everything was arranged in Nanchong. Wang Ying and his colleagues from the soy sauce factory set off on a business trip to Nanchong.
