Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Thank you Comrade Liang Xin for your congratulations. …
"Xiaohua is such a famous name, how can it sound so tacky?"
Liang Xin said, "Have you forgotten the movie "Little Flower" starring Comrade Liu Xiaoqing and Comrade Chen Chong? Both of their characters were named Xiaohua? This name is very popular all over the country."
Zhou Xiaohua was stunned. "Movie? The movie of the lesbian in red at the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Yes, so Xiaohua is not at all rustic, it sounds very nice."
Liang Xin smiled and said, "I've also seen several people whose pen names are also called Xiaohua."
"...I am really not well-informed."
"It's okay. It means that I want to guide you to read more literary works because you are about to embark on the path of becoming a writer today."
Zhou Xiaohua's familiar sadness, which had just resurfaced in her heart, was pulled back by Liang Xin's next words, and a smile appeared on her face, "I don't know if I can do it yet."
"Of course."
Liang Xin said, "In your daily life, you raise chickens and ducks, sew and alter old clothes and quilts. You spend less money than others and do everything more meticulously. This shows that you are a very meticulous person. Writers need this kind of meticulousness. Besides, your experience can also help you create a hardworking female character who can resonate with many people. Maybe people can learn little tricks of living frugally from your character."
In the past, everyone scolded her for being stingy.
As a result, the points that others criticized her for became her unique advantages for Liang Xin!
Zhou Xiaohua's energy slowly returned, and her blood started to boil. "President Liang, I'll take a look first, and then try it out. When I can really write it, can you help me check it again?"
"I can help you look, but I can't examine it."
Liang Xin smiled and said, "I don't have your talent."
For the first time in her life, Zhou Xiaohua experienced what confidence was. She suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go buy it now..."
Liang Xin hurriedly supported Zhou Xiaohua, who was shaking in the middle of her words, and said, "Hurry up and sit down. Are you too excited?"
Zhou Xiaohua nodded, her lips turning a little pale, "I just ate a few bites of food at noon, maybe I'm hungry."
Liang Xin went to make a cup of malted milk, took the egg cake, and went to get a bag of red bean bread, "Eat first."
Zhou Xiaohua was stunned for a moment when she saw the red bean bread, and then she put it back. "I'll just eat an egg cake. The bread is very expensive, you guys keep it for yourselves."
Liang Xin tore open the wrapper of the red bean bread and put it in her hand. "When you get the manuscript fee, treat me to something else delicious."
"Payment?"
Zhou Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then she smiled happily, her face regained some color, and she took a bite of the bread, "So soft, so delicious."
"Start eating well today."
Liang Xin handed the malted milk to her and said, "You will be a mental worker when you write stories in the future. Mental work requires more energy and blood than physical work. You can't be reluctant to eat anymore. Except for the children's, eat back the meat and eggs that belong to Captain Wu!"
"Okay, I'm also going to become an intellectual now, so I must eat more!"
Zhou Xiaohua laughed out loud, took the malted milk and drank a sip, then sighed, "President Liang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have lived long."
"Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly."
On his way home from get off work, Lu Chongfeng saw from afar Captain Wu's family walking out of his house with smiles on their faces. They even started to jog as they walked, as excited as students who had just finished school and didn't have to do their homework.
"Deputy Commander Lu, it's time to get off work."
Lu Chongfeng nodded politely and continued walking forward. As he walked, he looked back at the family of Captain Wu and walked into the house with confusion.
"I'm back."
Liang Xin just put on her protective sleeves and took out a small shovel from the storage room, "It's so early today."
"I'm in the army, just got back."
Lu Chongfeng put the briefcase on the table and asked, "Why are Captain Wu's family members suddenly so happy?"
"Moods are just a passing change."
Zhou Xiaohua didn't plan to tell anyone about this, and Liang Xin didn't plan to tell Lu Chongfeng about it either. "Don't wash your hands when you get back. Come with me to the vegetable garden and clean up all the overwintering spinach."
Lu Chongfeng followed Liang Xin out.
Didn't say anything.
When they entered the vegetable garden, Liang Xin was squatting on the ground, concentrating on pulling out the spinach stumps. Lu Chongfeng suddenly stood up and said, "No!"
Liang Xin was really shocked.
Lu Chongfeng also noticed it, and quickly squatted on one leg, stroking Liang Xin's back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he's your husband, don't be afraid."
Liang Xin: “….”
Liang Xin took two breaths and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"I mean, something is wrong with Captain Wu's family." Lu Chongfeng said seriously, "I thought about it carefully. I met her several times in the past six months. She was always lifeless. Captain Wu... I also heard Old Ji mention her once."
Liang Xin was surprised, "What did you mention?"
"There are potential problems with their lifestyle." Lu Chongfeng said, "But it's only potential. I don't know what Lao Ji found out. He went to do some ideological work for Captain Wu. Is the condition of Captain Wu's family related to this?"
Liang Xin did not continue to ask them what these leaders had said to Captain Wu. It was nothing more than overt and covert persuasion from the two aspects of work and family.
I’m still not planning to reveal Zhou Xiaohua’s privacy.
"Let's not talk about other people's business, just do it."
"I don't want to have anything unspeakable between us."
Lu Chongfeng stretched out his hand and pulled off the spinach leaves, leaving the roots in the ground, "......I didn't mean to do that."
Liang Xin picked up the shovel and dug out the spinach root he had pulled out. "As the chairman of the Family Committee, the family's problems are my job. This is not something that cannot be discussed between husband and wife, and it is not a secret. Just like your job, there are many confidentiality agreements that cannot even be disclosed to the family members. It is of the same nature."
Lu Chongfeng was persuaded, "That makes sense, it makes a lot of sense."
Liang Xin glanced at him and smiled, "You don't want to date anymore, and you don't want to read romance novels anymore. Why do you seem to be so anxious about gains and losses?"
"How could I possibly worry about gains and losses!"
Lu Chongfeng imitated Liang Xin and used his strength to pull the spinach stumps out of the soil with their roots. "Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin are a perfect match!"
Liang Xin laughed so hard that she pulled out her spinach. "It's fine if others praise you, but why are you praising yourself?"
"That's the truth!"
Lu Chongfeng walked out of the vegetable garden, went to the corridor and moved a short stool over, and placed it under Liang Xin's hips. "My legs will become numb if I squat for too long, and I will feel dizzy when I stand up."
Liang Xin raised her hips and sat on the bench, "You should also move a bench to sit on."
"I'm more tired after sitting."
Liang Xin slowly raised her head along the direction of his leather shoes, and looked at his long legs for several seconds before she finished looking at him. She was speechless for a moment.
When I thought about how frustrated he would be when he was curled up on the small stool, I couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Chongfeng tilted his head to look at her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Commander Lu." Liang Xin said, "I still have to do farm work after get off work."
"Director Liang is still working on the farm even when he is resting. Director Liang has worked hard too."
Lu Chongfeng suddenly thought of what he should have said since he hadn't met Captain Wu's family. "I have good news for you."
Liang Xin was curious, "What?"
"The central government has decided to officially promote the military-civilian dual-use talent plan throughout the army." Lu Chongfeng said with a smile: "Our 11th Division has been established as a model unit for military-civilian dual-use talents. The division has received a notice from above to select representatives of military-civilian dual-use talents to go to the military region to participate in the on-site meeting on military political education reform. After that, other units will come to the 11th Division to visit the company's agricultural and sideline production and the training of various study groups."
Liang Xin smiled after hearing this and said, "Congratulations, Deputy Commander Lu, you have once again risked your life to promote a reform that benefits the soldiers."
"How can this be my credit? It was you who reminded us to do it first."
"Although I was the one who remembered what the leaders said and reminded them of this matter, you were the one who was reported and suspended from work, and you are also facing investigation. You were also the one who took on the pressure from above and brought this matter to this day, so you have worked hard."
Lu Chongfeng suddenly laughed several times.
Liang Xin looked at him, "So happy?"
"You see, we are a perfect match!"
Lu Chongfeng said proudly: "What couple would sit in the vegetable garden and brag about each other's achievements like us?"
Liang Xin also laughed, and this time she didn't refute, "It seems that it was right to add a snack at noon. I heard such good news right after eating. In the evening, I will use fresh crabs to cook seafood porridge and stir-fry oyster scrambled eggs."
"I haven't finished yet." "...Then continue."
Lu Chongfeng said: "The division party committee asked me to pass on this message. Thank you, Comrade Liang Xin."
Liang Xin was startled. "Is this what you didn't finish talking about?"
"Yes and no."
Lu Chongfeng would occasionally imitate Liang Xin's tone and lines, "Originally they wanted to come to your house to express their gratitude to you, but I didn't know when you would wake up, and it was a rare day off, so they asked me to pass on the message. However, the division party committee will issue a general order to commend you throughout the division."
Liang Xin was stunned for a moment, "After all this talk, you didn't get any reward?"
"This reform is the result of the efforts of the entire division. The 11th Division received the third-class collective merit award, which is also my reward."
Lu Chongfeng said: "In addition, you were commended by the entire division, and I was commended by the entire army, and was awarded the honorary title of "Outstanding Commander of the Army."
Liang Xin raised her hand and patted his shoulder. "Such a great honor, but you kept it to yourself until the very end!"
Lu Chongfeng finally burst into a smile of complete satisfaction.
Liang Xin threw away the shovel and said, "Let's not pull it out anymore. Let's go cook some delicious dishes and celebrate tonight. Oh, and we can drink some red wine."
Lu Chongfeng laughed even louder, but he grabbed Liang Xin's wrist, then held her shoulders and pushed her back onto the small stool.
"Without you, I would not have received this honorary title. Your innovative model of promoting the development of dual-use military and civilian talents through family-run factories has also been recognized by the military district leaders, who have decided to promote this innovative model throughout the army. However, this is not an easy task, as not every family-run factory director is Liang Xin."
Liang Xin raised the corner of her mouth, "We don't need to flatter each other anymore, Lu Quanjun is an excellent commander."
Lu Chongfeng suddenly warned seriously: "Don't seduce me again."
Liang Xin: “….”
"We were just happily talking about something, how come you were seduced again?"
"When you call me like that, I want to..." Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin's narrowed eyes and changed his words: "I just feel impulsive."
Liang Xin looked outside the door and at the top of the wall, then lowered her voice and said, "We'll talk about it tonight."
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
Lu Chongfeng suddenly picked Liang Xin up from the small stool, and Liang Xin slapped his face hastily, "You are crazy, put me down!"
Lu Chongfeng neither listened nor let go.
"Mother."
Suddenly, a babyish voice was heard outside.
Lu Chongfeng paused and without Liang Xin patting him again, he carefully put Liang Xin down.
Sister Ji walked in with Dudu, and just in time to see Liang Xin standing firmly and Lu Chongfeng straightening up, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
No one could have imagined that two people, one wearing protective sleeves and the other with his sleeves rolled up, both with their hands and faces covered in mud, would suddenly come into the house while it was still daylight and do something they would only do at night when they hide in bed.
Sister Ji couldn't think of anything either, so she just asked, "What happened? Is Liang Xin injured?"
Dudu suddenly let go of Sister Ji's hand and ran towards her mother with her little body.
"Don't run, Dudu, don't run. Mommy is fine."
Liang Xin went forward to greet her daughter and supported her little body with her sleeves. "Where did Dudu go to play?"
Dudu thought for a moment and said, "Water."
"Let's go play at the well platform."
There is a well platform to the south of the teachers' family compound, where the family elders often sit around sewing shoe soles and chatting.
"Are you okay?"
Sister Ji looked into the vegetable garden and asked, "Did you hit your foot?"
"It's nothing. He's making a fuss."
Liang Xin stood up and walked naturally to the vegetable garden, "Sister, go in first and help Dudu make milk."
Sister Ji saw Liang Xin walking normally, and she also understood how much Deputy Commander Lu valued Liang Xin.
Even if the shovel handle touched Liang Xin's shoes, she would get nervous and make a fuss.
Sister Ji was no longer worried and went into the house to make milk.
Dudu secretly tried to follow his mother into the vegetable garden, but halfway through, he was picked up.
"There are bugs in the vegetable garden, and Dudu can't go in."
Lu Chongfeng put his daughter outside and waved to Liang Xin, "Take your daughter to water the flowers. There is still a little bit left and I can finish pulling out the weeds in a few minutes."
Liang Xin took off her sleeve, glanced at Lu Chongfeng, and saw the mud on his right cheek, and couldn't help laughing.
Just as Lu Chongfeng was about to speak, Liang Xin picked up her sleeve and wiped his face.
Dudu also raised his little hand, obviously wanting to help wipe his face too.
Lu Chongfeng picked up his daughter and enjoyed the care and consideration from his wife and child.
Dudu sat on a chair in the pergola, looking at his mother who was pruning flowers in the garden, and then looking at his father who was busy picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. He drank up the milk with his little mouth puffed up, burped, and immediately slid off the chair and walked towards his mother.
Liang Xin held Dudu in her arms, and together they used the hose to water the garden. Dudu's laughter quickly attracted Lu Chongfeng.
Liang Xin whispered in Dudu's ear: "Do you want to sprinkle daddy?"
Dudu pointed at Lu Chongfeng happily, "Dad!"
"Hey! Girl, Daddy is here!"
As soon as Lu Chongfeng enthusiastically responded to his daughter's enthusiasm, cold water splashed on his face.
Then, I heard Dudu's childish, naive but very penetrating laughter.
Liang Xin smiled and said, "Sorry, I got it the wrong way around."
Dudu also laughed and shouted: "It's the opposite!"
Lu Chongfeng looked at the mother and daughter who were smiling brightly, and strode over.
As soon as Lu Chongfeng took a step, Dudu laughed and stomped his feet excitedly and squeezed into his mother's arms, burying his head tightly in his mother's shoulders, while trying to peek at what his father would do.
Lu Chongfeng hugged his daughter and tickled her little armpits.
Dudu's clear and loud laughter spread throughout the yard.
In the evening, Lu Chongfeng finished taking a shower on the first floor, walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas, looked around the kitchen and living room, but didn't see Liang Xin.
Dudu didn't sleep in the evening. He was tired from playing in the garden. He fell asleep while eating at the dining table and was put in his eldest sister's room.
Lu Chongfeng didn't find Liang Xin, so he turned off the lights on the first floor and walked up the stairs.
As soon as I opened the door of the room, a bouquet of pink roses was presented to me.
Lu Chongfeng looked at the fair and delicate face behind the rose in surprise, "What, what is this for?"
Liang Xin smiled very professionally and said, "I am honored to be able to send flowers to the outstanding commander of the entire army. Flowers represent my respect and admiration. I express my most sincere congratulations to you!"
Lu Chongfeng was flattered and looked at Liang Xin, without reacting for a long time.
Liang Xin waited and waited, and finally couldn't hold back her smile and said, "Is it so easy for the outstanding commander of the entire army to be speechless?"
Lu Chongfeng suddenly reached out and pinched Liang Xin's armpits, as if he was hugging Dudu, and carried both Hua and her to the bed.
The rose fell between the quilt and rolled to the floor.
A few pink petals floated down.
Just as she was about to land on the ground, she was blown up by the wind brought by her white cotton nightgown.
The petals turned a few times before falling silently to the floor along with the white nightgown.
"You ruin the atmosphere."
After Liang Xin finished speaking, only rough breathing responded to her.
Liang Xin: “….”
Why is it that the older you get, the less you can stand being teased?
Lu Chongfeng suddenly bit Liang Xin's collarbone, and before Liang Xin could scream, he bit her mouth.
Liang Xin didn't have time to think about it anymore.
Lu Chongfeng spoke instead, "Thank you Comrade Liang Xin for your congratulations."
The only response he got was a soft, gentle moan.
"I am also honored to receive flowers from Comrade Liang Xin."
"Why is Comrade Liang Xin silent?"
Liang Xin loosened her hand that was pulling at the wrinkled bed sheet slightly, raised it and slapped him on the mouth.
Lu Chongfeng let her hit him impartially, and the next second, the corners of his mouth curled up in pride.
Liang Xin: “…”
Liang Xin's hands moved to his shoulders, and when she couldn't hold on any longer, she hugged his neck tightly.
The night was silent and the silver plate hung high.
Finally, Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin tightly and whispered in her ear: "Thank you, my wife."
"Thank you, my wife, for the surprise you prepared for me."
“I am very touched.”
The sales volume of Liangxin instant noodles in the first half of the year still ranked first in the industry. This was the effect brought about by the early marketing promotion, which led to the market being in short supply.
This year, the number of instant noodle production lines in the country has grown to nearly 30, and products began to be launched on the market in the second half of the year. Some manufacturers are scrambling to imitate the marketing and promotion methods used by Conscience Instant Noodles, while others are relying on national planned allocation and unified purchase and sales models in accordance with their long-standing habits.
No matter which one it is, it will have a certain impact on the sales of conscience instant noodles.
The sales market worked all night long, traveling non-stop to all parts of the country. After half a year, the plan for the folk touring martial arts competition and performance conference had been advanced to more than 90% of the level. There were still a few famous teachers who could not be convinced after using various methods, so they had to return to the factory and find Liang Xin.
After hearing the news, Liang Xin thought about it for two days. In the morning, she was preparing to have a meeting with the team responsible for the opening ceremony's first stop in Beijing. As soon as she arrived at the factory, she saw a man standing at the door of the office.
Liang Xin: "Comrade Chang Li?"
Li Mao was walking side by side with Liang Xin when he saw a female comrade in a blue factory uniform. "Yes, that's Chang Li. Why are you standing in front of the factory director's office instead of going to work?"
Chang Li smiled at Liang Xin, "Director Liang, I have always kept in mind what you said during the New Year's Eve dinner. I went back to visit my family this time and negotiated a few orders. I wanted to ask you again if you can deliver the goods to them."
Liang Xin and Li Mao were both stunned.
"You, you managed to sell the order by yourself?" Li Mao asked in surprise, "With the cooperation of a state-owned enterprise?"
"There are state-owned units and there are non-state-owned units." Chang Li held the bag in her hand, "I don't know if it will work, so I came to ask Director Liang."
"Come in."
Liang Xin took out the key, unlocked the office door, and invited the person in first.
"I'm sorry, because our factory is located in a barracks, and we don't usually have many people coming to our factory like local factory managers do, who need secretaries to help deal with and fend off people, so I didn't arrange a secretary."
Liang Xin opened the window and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I didn't have to wait long. It was time to go to work."
Chang Li sat on a chair and said, "Director Liang usually lives a very frugal life. You don't hire a secretary because you want to use the factory's money to improve the living conditions of the employees. For all of us, you have to endure more and do everything yourself."
Liang Xin was startled, then smiled, "No wonder."
"No wonder you were the first person in the entire factory to sell out the order!"
Li Mao was surprised and said, "Usually I see you have no presence in the workshop, how come you make people stunned when you open your mouth!"
"There are usually plenty of people talking in the workshop, so there's no need for me to speak up."
Chang Li took out a notebook from her backpack.
The administrative and logistics staff saw that the door of the factory director's office was open and brought a kettle.
Li Mao went to get the tea leaves and the enamel pot engraved with the name of his family's factory and made three cups of tea.
"Director Liang."
Chang Li opened the notebook and pointed to the first order information to show Liang Xin, "This is a reliable state-owned unit, the factory canteen over there. For the time being, they can order three boxes of instant noodles from us every month... It may be a little too little, but..."
"Quite a few."
Liang Xin said: "Three boxes means 90 bags, which means 1,080 bags a year. This is a deal you negotiated by yourself, which is amazing!"
Chang Li breathed a sigh of relief. "I see that there are often large trucks lined up outside the factory when instant noodles are produced. They take away a truckload of goods at a time. I'm really worried that Director Liang doesn't want to pay attention to me."
"How can you, alone, compete with the sales department of a state-owned channel?"
Li Mao lay on the table, looking at Chang Li's notebook, "There are so many names written below!"
“None of these units are state-owned anymore.”
Chang Li looked at Liang Xin and asked, "Director Liang, these... I trust Director Liang's character, so I'll tell you directly. Our hometown started reform and opening up early, and there are a lot of floating population. State-owned hotels are often full, and people coming and going can't get a room, so they can only squeeze in at the train station. Gradually, some private individuals began to try to run small hotels near the train station, but these small hotels are not registered as formal hotels. The local authorities know the situation, and for the sake of businessmen, self-employed people and buyers, they all turn a blind eye. I asked one by one, and they are all willing to buy our goods, but I don't know if our factory can sell them to them."
Li Mao was stunned again. "You...you stay in the workshop quietly every day. I never saw you go out when you were in the family compound. How dare you be so brave!"
"You are indeed very brave. You have already taken over the gray area first."
Liang Xin laughed, "Who says the family members in the family compound can only do laundry, cooking and childbirth? They are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and none of them should be underestimated!"
