Chapter 105 Chapter 105 I'll make a seafood feast to celebrate for you today...
"You haven't learned it well enough. Your tone should be more sincere, and not sarcastic or sour."
Liang Xin smiled at his ugly face, and before he could open his mouth, she added, "No matter how attractive she is, she is still Lu Chongfeng's wife."
Lu Chongfeng paused with a sullen look, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "That's right! Let them be envious. Since I can't find a wife myself, I can only envy other people's wives!"
Liang Xin walked forward slowly, "How do you know he doesn't have a wife?"
"Look at him, does he look like he has a wife?"
Lu Chongfeng curled his lips, "How can a man who already has a wife stare at someone else's wife with shining eyes? His saliva is about to flow out!"
"Nonsense, he's wearing a military uniform, he looks very serious."
"whispering sound!"
Liang Xin looked around and put her hand around his arm.
Lu Chongfeng's arms tightened instantly, and the corners of his mouth curled up again, "Just walk like this when you go out from now on!"
Seeing that he was happy, Liang Xin pulled her hand back as they were about to enter the family area with people coming and going.
"I was just praising you in a roundabout way."
Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin walked side by side, and his upper body unconsciously leaned towards her. "What do you want to eat? I'm free today. I'll cook a big meal for you."
"Since Xiaoshi came back, we always cook, which took away his job. He actually feels uncomfortable at home."
Liang Xin said, "Your vacation is over. Since the military logistics department has taken over this matter, how to discuss the policy is up to the higher-ups. Let's prepare to go back. You can cook a treat for me when we get home."
"OK!"
Before going back, Liang Xin met with Minister Liang at home once, and asked the military district logistics department to find professors from Jiangjing Agricultural University or universities within the military district to sign long-term technical assistance contracts and prepare to develop new local flavors.
Outstanding university students are assigned to become serious state cadres after graduation. It is impossible for them to come to work in the family factory in Jiangkou. Even if Liang Xin offers an unusually high salary and high benefits to recruit them, it is just a drop in the bucket.
But targeted technical assistance is different. After signing a long-term assistance agreement directly with a university specializing in agricultural and food research and development, we can invite dozens of experts, professors, and scientific and technological personnel to complete the technical research and development of local flavors.
In addition to instant noodle factories, we can also invite professional professors to help farms with agricultural technical guidance and collaborative upgrades.
"I thought you would go to the professor at the Agricultural University yourself, and not ask the military logistics department for help."
Lu Chongfeng peeled a banana and handed it to Liang Xin who was lying on the berth.
Liang Xin took the banana and took a bite. "It would be quicker if the military district's logistics department went to look for it. Although I can show my contribution by going alone, it is a pure waste of time. There are still a lot of things waiting to be done when I return."
Lu Chongfeng suddenly smiled.
Liang Xin asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"He has great talent, vision, and the ability to plan and make plans. However, he does not have the autocratic and arbitrary power that is common among great talents of ancient and modern times."
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's hand and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you have the ability but deep down you want to be a nobody?"
"Most people can't stand your praise."
Liang Xin gently patted Dudu, who was sleeping restlessly because of the loud noise, and asked, "Do you know what salted fish means?"
"What do you mean by hanging it on the wall and lying still on the drying board?"
Lu Chongfeng held Dudu in his arms and let him sleep. "Combined with your attitude towards life when you just got married, I roughly understand what you mean."
Liang Xin was sure that Dudu's little face had relaxed, so she leaned back and continued to eat her banana. "I'm not good enough at being a salted fish. When I get home, I'll be a salted fish for two days before I get busy."
Push open the mahogany door and you will see flowers blooming all over the garden.
Five or six kinds of tulips are blooming in the garden, colorful like ribbons spread across the flower beds and corners.
As soon as Liang Xin entered the door, her mood was brightened, "It seems that Sister Li Mao has taken good care of my garden."
"It's so beautiful." Sister Ji looked forward and asked, "Did you pour manure?"
Liang Xin: “….”
"No way? I told her I applied fertilizer before I left."
After reading it, Sister Ji said happily: It seems not. ”
Liang Xin admired the red, yellow and pink wine glasses on the green grass from a close distance, "I'm home, this is home."
When Lu Chongfeng heard this, he turned around and looked at the pergola and another row of flower beds, "When will the roses I planted bloom?"
"Soon, in two or three months."
The sun was warm. Liang Xin took off her coat and walked into the house in a thin fleece sweater. "I still need to clean up the house. Should I go to the cafeteria to get some food and come back to eat?"
"I'll go fight."
Lu Chongfeng put Dudu in the stroller on the first floor to sleep, went to the bathroom to wash his hands with Liang Xin, took the lunch box and went to the cafeteria.
Sister Ji didn't stop and started wiping the dust everywhere with a rag.
In fact, Li Mao would come to help clean the house every day, but he only cleaned the first floor and never went up to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Liang Xin went upstairs, uncovered the sheets covering the bed and sofa, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and first swept everywhere with a feather duster, then cleaned it up with a towel and a mop.
"Is Liang Xin back?"
Li Mao's people arrived before he did, but his voice did.
Liang Xin walked out of the French window and stood on the second-floor balcony, watching Li Mao and Zhong Xuelian walking towards this side side by side, a rare occasion.
Li Mao saw Liang Xin from afar and waved happily.
"Wait for me in the garden. I'll make a pot of tea."
Liang Xin finished cleaning the room on the second floor and was about to go downstairs to rest.
He brewed a pot of tea, added the preserved fruits he brought back from Jiangjing, and shared the vacuum-packed salted duck between the two of them.
"You made such a big noise just by going out."
Li Mao bit a plum and said, "We were so scared at home. We heard that you couldn't get the production line. We couldn't even eat."
Liang Xin asked curiously: "How did you know? These are not published in the newspapers."
"I heard it from the director of the service center, but I'm not sure who spread it."
Li Mao shook his head, and Zhong Xuelian continued, "It is said that the news came from the Finance Department. They deal with pharmaceutical factories a lot, and they deal with the higher-ups every day. They will definitely pass your news back to the 11th Division."
Liang Xin did not ask any more questions. "Fortunately, everything has been resolved. Now it depends on whether the higher-ups agree with the cooperation method between Japan Sanjing Company and our instant noodle factory. Even if they do not agree with this method, it will not be impossible to open. How is the staff housing construction going?"
"No problem. The bricks are piled up layer by layer. Everyone is so happy to see the house when they go to and from get off work every day."
Li Mao took a sip of tea to dilute the sour taste of the plums in his mouth. "The engineering team of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment that won the bid is the study group. They work very hard, but they need to complete training and study before they can start building houses. The speed is still a bit slow."
"The army has already started to downsize. If you work hard and have good skills, you can go slowly." Zhong Xuelian said, "I can practice my skills here. If the 11th Division really starts to downsize, I will be able to be proficient in the field."
Li Mao rolled his eyes and said, "You have a good conscience, and I have a bad conscience!"
Zhong Xuelian looked puzzled, "When did I say you have a bad conscience?"
“The old factory building also needs to be renovated.”
Liang Xin changed the subject and interrupted their quarrel. "Some of the factory buildings on the farm have been renovated and converted into workshops for the instant noodle factory. If the factory buildings are not enough, we will have to build more."
"Another bidding?"
Li Mao said happily, "That's good. The competition in the last bidding was actually quite fierce. The engineering team of the 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment was also very good, but their proficiency was not as high as that of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment. Now the staff housing has not been completed, so they can't participate in the next bidding. This time, the study group of the 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment can also have work to do and make money!"
“That’s great.”
The voice of Deputy Political Commissar Ji was suddenly heard in the garden.
Liang Xin turned around and saw Lu Chongfeng coming in with a lunch box, followed by Deputy Political Commissar Ji. "What did you get?"
Lu Chongfeng held up the lunch box: "Today we have your favorite shredded pork with fish flavor."
"Let's go to our house and eat." Zhong Xuelian said, "I know you will be back in the next two days, so we have prepared some food at home. My mother-in-law is at home, so she's probably already cooked. Just add two more dishes."
"It's already been done, no need to bother."
Liang Xin said: "There is something else I want to tell you."
"The bidding you just discussed was already very popular last time. Reporters from the base and headquarters came to interview and take photos. It was even published on the second page of the military newspaper."
Deputy Political Commissar Ji stood beside Zhong Xuelian with a smile on his face. "After the newspaper was published, the headquarters first verbally commended our reform of dual-use military and civilian talents. When the staff housing is completed and the engineering team of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment gets the money, it will definitely be on the front page of the military newspaper again. At that time, it will play a vital role in promoting the dual-use military and civilian talent reform plan throughout the army. Now you continue to bid for the renovation of the factory building. When the whole division becomes rich, it will further prove the success of the dual-use military and civilian talent reform plan. Our division can be regarded as completing the innovative practice of balancing national defense and economy, and also provide experience that can be used as a reference for other units."
"Look how excited you are."
After Zhong Xuelian got married, Deputy Political Commissar Ji treated her very well and was humble in all aspects. She always wanted to be a qualified housewife and felt that taking good care of the family was enough.
But since she came to the bakery, the business was getting better and better, and it was opened in big cities outside. It was also officially turned into a family factory to give back to the families of military martyrs. Her husband's different attitude towards her, the kind of pride he could not hide when he returned to his hometown from the military camp, just like now, made Zhong Xuelian radiate a sense of pride from the bottom of her heart.
Compared with the previous ones, it made her feel that she had more irreplaceable value.
In addition to her husband, her children also looked at her with admiration that had never been there before.
What she said carried more weight in the children's hearts than before.
These are the differences that you can only notice after you arrive at the bakery.
Liang Xin looked at Zhong Xuelian's expression and knew what she was thinking, then turned to look at Li Mao who was speaking.
In fact, Li Mao's change is even greater than Zhong Xuelian's, but Li Mao has not yet discovered this.
"Before, whether it was a bread flour or flour mill, the management was done by everyone through discussion, which was quite casual. After the instant noodle factory was established, we needed to clearly subdivide each department of the family factory, select the cadres of each department, and manage the daily production and operation of each department."
"department?"
Li Mao asked curiously, "Is it like the local factories and military factories, divided into production and technical departments?"
"right."
Liang Xin said, "It is mainly divided into supply and marketing and warehousing departments, production departments, technical quality inspection departments, and administrative management and logistics departments. The specific workshops under each department will be discussed at the staff representative meeting. You deal with the families of martyrs every day. Give me a list of available talents first. Select administrative and logistics cadres first. The local government will arrange a group of employees to enter the factory first, and the families of the 1st and 2nd regiments will also have to work in the factory together. After all the personnel have arrived, the main talents needed by each department will be selected."
Li Mao smacked his lips repeatedly, "I never thought that just crying would lead me to this point today!"
Lu Chongfeng raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Mao.
"You take a rest for two days, and we will summarize the discussion." Zhong Xuelian stood up and said, "Deputy Division Commander Lu has brought back his meal, you guys eat first, and then we can continue."
Liang Xin got up and sent everyone out the door. When she returned to the living room, Dudu had already woken up.
Liang Xin took her daughter from Sister Ji's arms, smiled sweetly at her mother, and then leaned her little face against her mother's chest, "Baby, your smile is so beautiful."
Lu Chongfeng opened the lunch boxes one by one, "Big sister, eat first, you can change Liang Xin later."
After saying that, he sat on the chair, watched Liang Xin feed her, and waited for her to finish before eating together.
Liang Xin looked up at him and turned sideways to face the bedroom.
Lu Chongfeng: “…”
"Are you tired of holding me? Let me hold you?"
Liang Xin shook her head. "Eat first. Don't you have to go to the division headquarters for a meeting this afternoon?"
"Wait for you to eat together."
Lu Chongfeng said, "I just met Commander Yang, he said he wanted to see you for something."
Liang Xin was a little curious, "What's the matter?"
Lu Chongfeng thought for a second, "What can a lonely person do?"
Liang Xin lowered her head and smiled, "At first, you didn't want to bother with Sister Xia Xia, but now that she's really gone, you want her to come back."
"He used to go back once every one or two years, and the decision was his." Lu Chongfeng said, "Now he doesn't come back for one or two years, and he rarely even calls. He's been abandoned, so of course it's different."
"After the census is over, if there is a suitable person going to Beijing, Sister Xia Xia can be exchanged if she is willing to come back."
Liang Xin said: "Just tell them for me."
Seeing that Dudu had already started playing, Lu Chongfeng knew that she was full, so he picked up his daughter and patted her burp skillfully.
This time Liang Xin was busy with graduation, distribution channels, weddings, and the introduction of production lines, and she hardly had a complete day of rest.
After returning to Jiangkou, I asked the Parent Committee if anything had happened. After confirming that it was nothing serious, I rested well at home for two days and enjoyed the tulip blooming season.
Maybe everyone knew that she was busy during her trip, so no one disturbed her for two days after she came back.
After the rest, the local support-support office helped the labor bureau arrange a list of employees to go to the family factory.
Director Wang of the Double Support Office pointed at two names on the list and said, "Comrade Liang Xin, I know that your family factory is in urgent need of highly educated talents, so I went to the Education Commission to get two college graduates. They are both like you, and they just graduated this year and are assigned to work."
Liang Xin was surprised. "A college graduate is willing to come to our factory?"
"yes!"
Seeing Liang Xin's surprised expression, Director Wang felt even more accomplished. "Of course, this is also because you are famous and have the ability to attract talents."
Before Liang Xin could answer, Director Wang suddenly began to reminisce about the past. "Back then, when you became a hero in water rescue, our Support Office came to your house to help you find a job. Who could have imagined that six or seven years later, you would be able to help a group of unemployed young people in our area find jobs?"
Although everyone was surprised about running a small bakery, it was not to the point where we needed to sigh and reminisce.
When the family factory was about to be established, it was discovered that many people's attitudes had changed, and their views on Liang Xin were completely different from before.
Liang Xin looked through the list. Except for two college graduates, most of them were young people who did not get into college or get formal jobs after returning from working in the countryside, and had been working as temporary workers in various units. There were a total of sixteen people.
"Director Wang, I hope to give priority to women with disabilities and heavy family burdens to enter the factory. Please help me screen them. If there is no problem, I will call you and ask you to arrange someone to come after the cooperation plan for the instant noodle factory is confirmed."
"Don't worry. Even if you didn't tell me, I know what kind of people you want." Director Wang said with a smile, "These are all lesbians who have family difficulties and find it difficult to stay at home. Even these two college students are lesbians. Didn't you notice?"
Liang Xin smiled and said, "I found out. Thank you Director Wang for your thoughtful consideration."
"You're welcome, but in addition to the female comrades, I have arranged six male comrades." Director Wang pointed to the list of male comrades, "I think whether it is a flour mill or an instant noodle factory, the products produced in the future will definitely not be as light as bread and peach cakes. We must find a few strong male comrades to help load and unload the goods. Besides, in the workshop, if there is any heavy work, we also need male laborers to do it. What do you think?"
"No problem, Director Wang." Liang Xin said, "I just said that we should give priority to disabled comrades and female comrades with heavy family burdens. I don't mean that male workers cannot be arranged to come in. Director Wang is very thoughtful. I hope that after the instant noodle factory opens, I will ask you to pay more attention every year and help the factory to attract more suitable talents."
"Don't worry, our Support Office will definitely support Comrade Liang Xin in running the family factory well."
Liang Xin saw Director Wang off and saw Lu Chongfeng coming back carrying a basket from a distance.
"What are you carrying?"
When Lu Chongfeng met Director Wang from the Military-Civilian Integration Office, he stopped and greeted him before walking towards his doorstep.
“Ingredients for a great meal.”
As soon as Lu Chongfeng came back, he was so busy that Liang Xin even forgot about the dinner.
I originally thought that the basket was filled with vegetables such as chicken, duck, fish and meat, but when I got to the kitchen, Lu Chongfeng took out a big lobster weighing three or four pounds from the basket!
Liang Xin looked at the large lobster lying in the pool with its claws open in surprise, "...Where did this come from?"
"I asked the commune below to order it in advance. I called and ordered it in Jiangjing. I asked them to go out to sea to catch a big lobster and leave one for me. I want to supplement the health of my family."
As Lu Chongfeng spoke, he took out a number of long triangular-shaped strips from the basket.
Liang Xin swallowed her saliva when she thought of the delicious scallops steamed and roasted with garlic, black beans, mung bean vermicelli.
Lu Chongfeng put two squids in the enamel basin, took out a sea cucumber and a large pork elbow, and looked at Liang Xin, "I'm going to make a seafood feast to celebrate your success today."
Liang Xin was startled, "What skill?"
Lu Chongfeng said, "A comrade of mine who was transferred to the light industry department called me and told me that the Ministry of Light Industry has preliminarily agreed to the cooperation plan between the family factory and Japan Sanjing Company. Comrade Liang Xin, congratulations."
