Chapter 79 Three Updates in One

Zhou Hongfei had rich experience in fighting wits and courage with his father Zhou Shengqiang. Although he was acting in his father's name as a leader, he never sat still and waited for death. After easily provoking his father's anger, Zhou Hongfei argued with his father for a few words and hung up the phone abruptly.

Then I called my grandparents, saying that my mother alone was not enough for support, and I needed to find two more people to rely on.

"Grandma, my dad is still thinking about his ex-son. He doesn't like anything about me. He thinks everything I do is wrong..."

Zhou Hongfei's grandmother Wei Guangrong has long retired from the front line and is now living in a retirement home in the capital. However, he was a veteran in the battlefield in his early years. In addition, he was the one who promoted his son-in-law Zhou Shengqiang. The old man still has the final say in front of his son-in-law. Although Chief Zhou is now in a high position of power, he is still humble and respectful to his father-in-law and old leader.

Wei Guangrong's only dissatisfaction with Zhou Shengqiang, and also his biggest requirement, is that he must completely break off with his ex-wife and previous son.

Now that his precious grandson had complained about him, Wei Guangrong's cloudy old eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in a discontented voice: "Your father is really getting cocky now."

Hunhou's strong voice came from the phone line, and Zhou Hongfei continued to fan the flames: "Grandma, that's not true! I think my dad only likes He Hongyuan and doesn't like me at all. He thinks I'm uneducated and can't accomplish anything. Everything I do is a disgrace to him."

"I think he is confused. Hongfei, just do your job. When your grandma was in the capital, she heard your mom say that you are capable and that you helped a food factory that was almost failing to become prosperous. Your dad is just blind. I have to go and give him a lecture."

Zhou Hongfei was delighted, as his grandma still loved him the most!

——

Northwest Military Region, Chief's Office.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the receiver after his son hung up the phone, Zhou Shengqiang felt like his rebellious son's words were stabbing him in the heart. He was so angry that he gripped the edge of his desk with his hands tightly, and his fingers were shaking.

This unfilial son!

If his old comrade had not accidentally heard in Haining Province that this unfilial son was using his name to make connections and ask for favors to get things done, he would still be kept in the dark.

It would have been fine if he just owed someone a favor for selling soda, but this brat actually had the guts to plead for mercy for a thief and even reached out to the Public Security Bureau.

Since Zhou Shengqiang ascended to a high position, he has been very careful about his reputation, especially unwilling to owe favors to others. Once he needs help from others, he will not be able to refuse others' requests in the future. Sooner or later, he will fall deeper and deeper into trouble.

As a result, Zhou Hongfei is a good guy who always uses his name to owe favors to others and asks others to do things for him...

Zhou Shengqiang was determined to go directly to Phnom Penh to capture the man and give him a proper discipline, but before leaving, he suddenly received a call from the capital.

His father-in-law, who was also his former boss, called and started scolding him.

"Dad, it's not that I'm partial to anyone, it's just that Hongfei is too ignorant and has done nothing but messes!" Zhou Shengqiang was helpless and angry.

"Of course you think that Hong Fei is a jerk. You only think that your former son is promising, right? He is like your son, who can serve in the army, fight on the battlefield, and make achievements. That's why you always dislike Hong Fei! Zhou Shengqiang, where is your mind set on?"

Zhou Shengqiang was extremely worried. Facing his stern and domineering father-in-law, he just couldn't make sense.

When he got home, his wife Wei Minhui prepared a table full of delicious food for him, massaged his shoulders, neck and temples, and said good things to the rascal. Zhou Shengqiang just felt weak and his head hurt even more.

How could I have given birth to such a bastard!

++++

Zhou Hongfei escaped the disaster with the help of foreign aid, but he still felt guilty, especially because he had to deal with the matter with Wang Qifa.

He had used his connections to get the man away earlier, thinking that the punishment that had been arranged for him would be lighter, and he gave the man some money.

But this time, when I called to inquire, I found out that someone had actually sent a telegram detailing his theft to the local Public Security Bureau and Revolutionary Committee, meaning that he would be severely punished.

Zhou Hongfei couldn't ask for so many favors, and his father had already discovered his little trick and was furious and wanted to settle the score, so he simply didn't dare to intervene and let his father do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, Wang Qifa is far away from Phnom Penh and no longer poses a threat.

Faced with the 119 Food Factory, which has once again become popular with its new product Spanish mackerel sauce, the Shiwei Food Factory has no immediate countermeasures and can only wait and see. It should sell its own canned shrimp sauce and four kinds of canned fish well so that life will not be too difficult.

But the life here at the 119 Food Factory is much easier.

The Spanish mackerel sauce on many counters in Phnom Penh was sold out, stealing the limelight from other food factories. The Spanish mackerel sauce workshop at Factory 2 was producing and supplying the food at full speed, and the workers were very busy.

The team led by Qiu Hongxia is united and hardworking. They rest well when they need to rest, and are efficient when they need to work.

It was the first time that Jiang Wenfang participated in such a production task. She felt like she was injected with chicken blood. She was infected by the enthusiasm and energy of the workers around her. Her heart was pounding. When she was studying, she was extra focused and worked hard, for she was worried that she could not keep up with the pace of the young people.

However, although it was her first time working, she was very efficient. Even Qiu Hongxia praised her several times, saying that she was quick to learn and was very careful, serious and patient in doing things.

Jiang Wenfang understood the excitement her daughter Lingling, a first-grade elementary school student, felt when she received praise from her teacher. How could she not feel the same?

In my spare time, I chat with everyone and hear all kinds of things from all over the world. At the very least, everyone talks about gossips about the food factories and soda factories in Phnom Penh, including some interesting stories about some state-owned factories directly "fighting" in the past.

For the first time, she realized that there were so many gossips among the thousands of workers in so many factories, and even the intrigues in many factories were shocking.

Especially since she had only been in the factory for less than a month, she received her salary at the end of the month. After working for 23 days, she actually earned 25 yuan.

It was the first time in her life that she received money earned from her work, and her hands were shaking a little.

Factory 2 has rationally planned production tasks and firmly adhered to a no-overtime policy. It is even acceptable to leave work early as long as the tasks are completed.

Jiang Wenfang finished her fermentation work early today and left work half an hour earlier than her co-workers. She was in high spirits and ran into Lin Xiang, who also left work early, at the factory gate.

"Mrs. Jiang, are you adapting well to your work?" Lin Xiang actually knew the answer at a glance at Jiang Wenfang.

Although Jiang Wenfang had been busy all day, she was in high spirits at this moment. She had a smile on her face while talking to her co-workers, and she looked particularly brilliant.

"I got used to it!" Jiang Wenfang was really glad that she had the courage to apply for the job. "Everyone was very nice. I asked questions when I didn't understand anything, and I gradually got the hang of it."

"That's good." Lin Xiang and Jiang Wenfang went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some peach cakes and egg cakes, and then went to the grocery store to buy meat, fish and eggs. They each returned home with a full load.

When she got home, she found that she had gotten used to her parents-in-law's cold words and disdain towards her over the past month and didn't care at all.

I am busy with work every day. When I get home, I look after my children and talk to my husband about work. I don’t care about anyone else at all.

But today when she came home she carried so many things that it attracted her mother-in-law's attention.

Qin Yurong had calmed down a little because of her son's temper a month ago. She suppressed all her anger, but she still disliked her daughter-in-law.

Now she refuses to take medicine when I ask her to, and she is unwilling to have another son. It is useless for me to say anything.

At this moment, she finally found her daughter-in-law's fault and started to criticize her directly: "Wenfang, you are working now and you spend money lavishly. Why did you buy so many things?"

Look at all those candies and cakes, they’re all money and bills!

Jiang Wenfang smiled at her mother-in-law, not angry at all, and said confidently, "Mom, I got my salary today, and I spent the money I earned through hard work."

Qin Yurong: ...

Well, this sentence blocked the rest of her words.

The grandfather helped his old wife and kept saying, "You have to work hard to earn money and be frugal to support the family."

Jiang Wenfang gave the egg cake to her daughters and took the remaining meat and fish to the kitchen. A cheerful voice floated out from the kitchen: "The toffee, peach cakes, and egg cakes are all on the table. You can take them if you want. But, Mom and Dad, if you think I'm spending too much money and don't want to eat, I won't force you."

Grandfather and grandmother: ???

Listen to what this is saying!

The old couple went to the table to get something to eat with a stern look on their faces. The egg cake was soft, sweet and tasted really good.

Looking at so many things, the two looked at each other in bewilderment. Did this daughter-in-law really make money on her own?

——

After one month of sales of canned Spanish mackerel sauce, it brought hope and turning point to the 119 Food Factory.

Because of its delicious, salty taste, popular flavor and various practical pairings, it has become the best-selling seafood sauce in Phnom Penh.

Lin Xiang even received a bonus of 1% of the net profit from the first month's sales of canned Spanish mackerel sauce, a total of 70 yuan.

Normally speaking, even if Qin Yangbo developed a new product for the factory, he would only receive a reward of 30 yuan at most for his selfless dedication and putting the collective first. This was already a sky-high price.

Lin Xiang's bonus of 70 yuan was an astronomical figure.

Lin Xiang, who had never received such a large bonus at one time, went home and counted the seven big reunion tickets again and again, and felt that she was indeed a wealthy woman!

When He Hongyuan returned home with the package sent by his mother, he saw his wife leaning on the sofa, counting the money in her hand twice with a smile on her face, as happy as a child.

"Another salary?" He Hongyuan put the package on the coffee table. In a flash, Lin Xiang came over and shook a stack of bills in front of him.

"It's a bonus. Remember the Spanish mackerel sauce recipe I told you about?" Lin Xiang leaned half of her body on her husband and generously handed him a bill. "This is a bonus for me, 70 yuan! It's the first time I've received so much money! Here, don't say I'm stingy. I'll give you one bill. Buy whatever you like~"

He Hongyuan seemed to have seen a comrade in the army giving pocket money to his children, which was somewhat similar to the current situation.

He Hongyuan took the big gift and smiled: "Okay, thank you Comrade Lin Xiang."

"Well, you are quite perceptive young man!" Lin Xiang raised her hand and patted He Hongyuan.

Every month, after deducting the ten or twenty yuan for basic expenses, Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan could save more than a hundred yuan. Over time, the number in their family's bankbook increased to more than two thousand yuan.

Lin Xiang counted the four-digit number on the passbook over and over again, muttering to herself, "The TV cost three or four hundred, the refrigerator cost four or five hundred, and the washing machine cost several hundred..."

"What are you reading?" He Hongyuan didn't hear it clearly, probably hearing something chicken.

"Do you know how easy it is to buy a TV?" Lin Xiang knew that the pressure on purchasing a TV was not loose at all, so she asked without any hope.

It's so miserable to earn money but not be able to spend it!

"TV?" He Hongyuan knew about this thing, and knew that it was hard to buy. "You want one? Our leader may have one at home, but even the brigade commander doesn't have one."

I can find a way to satisfy whatever my wife wants, except for electrical appliances that are difficult to buy.

Seeing the man frowning in deep thought, looking embarrassed, Lin Xiang hurriedly advised him, "I was just talking casually. I heard Director Zhao say that it is very difficult to get a quota to purchase a TV. Basically, only people in high positions and positions are eligible. Let's think about it. Maybe it will be our turn in a few years."

She closed the passbook, put it back into the small iron box, closed the lid, and patted it, making a crisp sound: "Let's save the money. We can definitely buy anything in the future."

The two of them sat on the bed. He Hongyuan listened to his wife talking about the TV, which could play movies and news, and the people inside could move and talk. She also talked about the washing machine, which could wash clothes automatically, and the refrigerator, which was different from the big freezer in the factory. It was a vertical one, for home use, and there was also a flush toilet...

"How do you know so much?" He Hongyuan had never heard of so many rare and precious things.

Lin Xiang was in a good mood on the spur of the moment. She touched her belly and talked to her child and his father about the wonderful life after the reform and opening up. She spoke too quickly and then she reacted.

She said with a stern face: "Readers, have you ever heard of the golden house in the book? These things have been there for a long time, but we just can't buy them."

He Hongyuan saw his wife's desire for these home appliances. He thought that only the chief's family had a TV, so he wondered how hard he would have to work to be eligible to purchase these rare gadgets.

The always confident Captain He fell into deep thought...

Although he is already the fastest-promoting commander in the army, he still has to fight.

Lin Xiang had no idea that she had accidentally made a chicken husband out of her casual words. Others were chicken kids, but she was a chicken husband.

At the end of the month, at the military competition of the 119th Army, the ever-victorious general He Hongyuan, who was prepared to leave opportunities for more newcomers, only signed up for the shooting competition.

He broke the military record and won first place.

Yang Lu was pleased to see his beloved disciple: "Your skills have not been wasted. You used to be a good archer."

Zhang Huafeng and Jiang Weijun echoed: "He is a sharpshooter who never misses a shot."

He Hongyuan, who won the first prize - two kilograms of meat tickets, put away the things, raised his eyes and heard Yang Lu praising himself, and asked.

"Every time you bring honor to our brigade, the soldiers we bring out can also win prizes. Tell me, is there any reward you want?" It is still feasible for Brigade Commander Yang to have a few military cloth coupons and food coupons on hand.

He Hongyuan was infuriated when he heard this: "Yang Lu, can you buy a ticket for the TV?"

Yang Lu: "...go over there and stay."

Do you look like someone who has this ability?

Zhang Huafeng and Jiang Weijun started to make fun of him: "Old He, you really have a big appetite. You dare to ask for everything!"

"Don't say so much. You won't treat me after winning the award?"

He Hongyuan showed a hint of pride on his face: "You must treat us! Come to dinner on Sunday night to celebrate."

Zhang Haifeng and Jiang Weijun: "It's time to celebrate."

He Hongyuan raised the corners of his lips and said, "Celebrate that I'm going to be a father."

"Should we celebrate the fact that you are going to be a die...??? A father????" Zhang Huafeng and Jiang Weijun turned their heads to look at He Hongyuan in surprise, trying to find some clues from his now somewhat humiliating face.

However, He Hongyuan never tells lies or jokes, but this guy is not like that.

"Are you a father? Comrade Lin Xiang is pregnant?" Jiang Weijun never expected that his good brother and he were really in cahoots!

"Well, it's been three months." He Hongyuan finally said this with a smug and somewhat proud look on his face, "Remember to come for dinner, both of you."

On Sunday afternoon, a large group of people gathered at Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan's home. Pregnant woman Song Qingya actively exchanged pregnancy experiences with Lin Xiang, and because the two were in similar stages of pregnancy, they became even closer.

Yan Min touched her belly with one hand and still felt amazed: "When you two have children, if they are daughters, I can still take them dancing."

Zhang Huafeng came out of the kitchen and raised his eyebrows: "If only my son could learn it, too."

Yan Min glanced at him and said, "If it's a kid, you can teach him how to fight."

Hearing this, Lin Xiang chuckled, remembering what her husband said, and turned to whisper to a few people: "Captain He said that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, he will teach the child to fight and not let others be bullied."

Several people: As expected, you are Captain He!

Zhou Lu and Aunt Feng arrived late, followed by the young couple Zhou Yuezhu and Shen Jianming. Shen Jianming has fully resumed normal training after his injury. In the recent military competition, he achieved good results in cross-country running, third place in the five-kilometer weight-loss run, and fifth place in shooting.

This time, when he heard from his target Yuezhu that Lin Xiang was pregnant and that Captain He was going to be a father, he was very happy. He even called home and asked his father to send some beef over. It was a piece of top-quality sirloin, wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and he brought it over today.

Lin Xiang ate seafood on the island and occasionally ate pork. She had eaten beef only once. This was her second time, and it was such a big piece of sirloin, bright red and beautiful, full of elasticity, it was a top quality product!

"Comrade Shen, you are so polite. It must be hard to get such a long piece of beef."

Shen Jianming helped put the meat into the kitchen, not caring: "It's not hard. My parents said that you helped so much at that time, and we can't thank you enough."

Zhou Yuezhu even rushed over and said, "Cousin, we sent the meat back so we can eat it too. We all benefited from it."

Lin Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, you are the best!"

On the stove, Aunt Feng was stir-frying the braised pork, and the dumplings made by He Hongyuan and a few other old men were steaming. Lin Xiang insisted on making a dish herself, as she hadn't enjoyed such a feast for a long time since she became pregnant.

Cut a whole strip of sirloin into two halves, salt-dry one half for later consumption, and cut the other half into long, thin slices and marinate.

He Hongyuan lit a fire in front of the stove. Lin Xiang took a spatula, scooped a piece of white lard from the lard jar and slid it into the hot pot. After the lard gradually turned from pure white to transparent oil and water, she poured peppercorns, minced garlic, bean paste and dried chilies into the pot and stir-fried them until fragrant.

Smoke instantly billowed out of the kitchen, and red oil was stir-fried in the pot, which was fragrant and spicy. After adding water, bean sprouts and lettuce slices were put in and cooked until half-cooked. Finally, the marinated beef slices were picked up one by one with chopsticks and put into the pot, gently stirring them.

The beef cooks quickly. After more than a minute, the bright red color of the beef gradually fades. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the boiled beef into a bowl. Finally, sprinkle with dried chilies and chopped green onions and pour over hot oil.

As the sizzling sound made by the hot oil and boiled beef comes to an end, a pot of spicy, fragrant, bright red and oily boiled beef is ready.

This dinner was hosted by He Hongyuan and Lin Xiang, who announced their pregnancy when the baby was three months old. All relatives and friends sent gifts, and the dinner was also very sumptuous.

The Spanish mackerel dumplings are tender and delicious, the twice-cooked pork is crispy and chewy, and the boiled beef is even more spicy and refreshing. The beef is extremely tender and has a fresh, spicy and spicy taste. Even the bean sprouts and lettuce slices in the pot are fragrant and crispy, with the aroma of beef and the fragrance of vegetables. Eating it with rice is really satisfying.

In an era of food and clothing shortages, Lin Xiang smiled happily at the fact that she could have such a delicious meal.

After the guests left, Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan counted the things. There were many gifts from friends and relatives, including practical brown sugar and eggs, as well as rattles bought in advance for the children.

Lin Xiang was in a playful mood and shook the wave drum in front of her husband: "Does it sound good?"

He Hongyuan doubted that he had never played with such a childish gadget in his life: "Fun?"

"Okay." Lin Xiang put the rattle in his hand, "You can use this to coax the child every day from now on."

He Hongyuan: "..."

......

When the news of Lin Xiang's pregnancy spread, a few people who were gossiping in the front of the family compound shut up.

Jiang Wenfang was delighted when she learned about it. She tore some cloth to make a pair of tiger-head shoes, bought a bag of bananas and a can of maltose, and went to visit Lin Xiang.

The gift was very expensive and Lin Xiang refused to accept it, but Jiang Wenfang forcefully stuffed it into her hands.

"What's that? If you hadn't encouraged me to give the job a try, I wouldn't be where I am today." Jiang Wenfang has been working at the 119 Factory No. 2 for nearly two months. After the initial nervous period as a novice, she has gradually figured out the ropes, become proficient at her work, and is in high spirits.

Lin Xiang had no choice but to accept it and gave Jiang Saozi a few bottles of coconut juice as a gift. Seeing that Jiang Saozi was now confident and energetic, she was also happy for her: "Do your parents-in-law still miss you now?"

Jiang Wenfang was quite nonchalant: "Sometimes I do, but now I am not as worried as before about my parents-in-law being unhappy and always reviewing myself. It doesn't matter. I am busy with work and my husband and children every day. I don't have the energy to think about so much."

Lin Xiang smiled and said, "That's good. I won't be able to take care of it when I'm busy."

Jiang Wenfang's parents-in-law were indeed a bit suffocating, but Lin Xiang thought of her own mother-in-law and felt very lucky.

At this time, He Guifang had already boarded the green train, carrying large and small bags, preparing to go to Shanghai Island to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.

As for my son, I'll just take a look at him.

After giving the gifts, Jiang Wenfang hurried home for dinner. She had just received her second month's salary today, earning 35.3 yuan. She had never earned such a large sum of money before, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a large bag of things. She also bought the gift for Lin Xiang at that time.

Her parents-in-law saw her spending money lavishly again, even taking a lot of good things to the neighbor's house, only to bring back a few bottles of soda. They immediately pursed their lips and said in a sly tone, "Wenfang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even if you can make money now, you can't spend money like this. Look at how many things you bought today, especially giving so much to the neighbor's house. You gave away good things like maltose?"

Jiang Wenfang felt confident and responded naturally and casually: "Dad, I have to reward myself after I get my salary. Besides, these meats and candies are for the whole family to eat. You will also need to eat them. You can't eat them and then accuse me of wasting money. As for the gifts for Xiangxiang next door, they are to celebrate her pregnancy. The couple has helped our family so much, it is reasonable to give them these gifts."

The granddaughter-in-law had a displeased look on her face. How could she not know that her daughter-in-law was so eloquent!

In the past, if you said ten things to her, she wouldn't say a word back. Now, if you say one thing to her, she can say ten back.

Is this going out to work? Or is it going out to learn how to talk back?

Jiang Wenfang didn't say that she had indeed met many amazing female colleagues while working in the workshop, especially the melon seed sister Qiu Hongxia, who was very eloquent and never suffered any loss. If anyone dared to make her suffer a loss, she would scold them until they cried.

Although she could not learn such skills, Jiang Wenfang was more open-minded after being influenced by her surroundings. She realized that one should not be too soft.

After she said that, her parents-in-law fell silent.

There was a rich meal on the square table. Fish soup, shredded pork with green peppers, and corn cakes dipped in Spanish mackerel sauce were emitting steam, almost as delicious as Chinese New Year's Eve meals.

The grandparents listened to their daughter-in-law talking to their son about work in a relaxed and cheerful manner, including how to use the equipment, how to ferment Spanish mackerel, and how to watch the Spanish mackerel cans being loaded onto the truck. Sun Qiang and several of the children listened intently, and were extremely excited.

The little girl Yingzi kept saying, "Mom, you are amazing. You can even make Spanish mackerel sauce!"

"That's right. Our Spanish mackerel sauce tastes great and sells very well. Our commission is 1.5 yuan more than other workshops." Jiang Wenfang was proud when he mentioned this.

Sun Qiang was also happy for his wife. He had never seen Jiang Wenfang so happy every day. She never stopped smiling. She even talked about working overtime to practice in the beginning, but she didn't show any reluctance or complaints.

"Your mother has been very capable since she was young. When I went on a blind date with your mother, I thought, hey, this girl is incredible, she must have a bright future!"

Several children started chattering and asking their parents about previous blind dates, creating a lively atmosphere.

Only the grandparents were arrogant and angry, and still refused to give up.

Since they couldn't blame her for spending money, and the daughter-in-law kept saying that she earned the money herself, they just talked about other things.

"Qiangzi, Wenfang, you both work now, yes, you both have a promising future, your father and I can manage the household, but we can't have no grandson." Qin Yurong knew that her daughter-in-law was different now, so she didn't force it on her. She continued to persuade her, "Your father has been the only son for three generations, and he is looking forward to you carrying on the family line. Your parents are not forcing you. Wenfang can work, but don't delay having a son."

Grandfather nodded and agreed: "Qiangzi, don't forget what your grandfather said. You have to give birth to another son."

Jiang Wenfang's good mood because of the salary payment was ruined a little bit. Her parents-in-law really took advantage of every opportunity to urge her to have a son. Anyway, they were definitely annoying.

Instructor Sun knew that his parents were really restless. It had been a long time since then. He had lost his temper once and tried to reason with them, but it was no use. As a son, he couldn't just force his way with them, so he just made a decision silently in his heart.

......

The next day.

After dinner, Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan went to Yuezhu's house for dinner. The two families agreed to have dinner together after He Guifang arrived tomorrow, and then they slowly walked home.

He Hongyuan was holding the winter melon strips fried by Aunt Feng in his hand, giving them to Lin Xiang as a snack.

As the two were chatting and laughing as they passed by Instructor Sun's house, they saw the family running out in a panic.

Sun Qiang carried his granddaughter Qin Yurong out on his back, followed closely by his granddaughter and Jiang Wenfang.

"What's going on? Is your mother-in-law not feeling well?" Lin Xiang and Jiang Wenfang met.

Jiang Wenfang was shocked herself, and now she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "She just said she felt dizzy and a little uncomfortable in her chest. Brother Qiang said to send her to the hospital. We're leaving first."

"Oh, okay." Lin Xiang didn't know why her grandson's mother, who was always so energetic in urging her daughter-in-law to give birth to a son, suddenly felt unwell. "Could it be that she has heatstroke? But the weather isn't that hot now."

He Hongyuan looked at the family's backs as they left, and hesitated to speak: "I guess they were mad at Sun Ge."

"Ah?" Lin Xiangmin keenly realized that her man must know some gossip, "What happened? Tell me quickly! How could Aunt Qin be so angry with Coach Sun?"

Logically speaking, Aunt Qin loves her son the most and can understand any of his faults.

"Brother Sun took a leave today and didn't go to the army." Seeing his wife so curious, He Hongyuan could only lean in and whisper in her ear, "He went to get a sterilization. He said that if it looks like this, how can his parents urge him to have a son?"

Lin Xiang:!!!

Good guy, Instructor Sun also has a way to discipline his own parents!

Insisting on having a son, right? He is directly curing the root cause!

The vasectomy made my own mother so angry that she was sent to the hospital!

......

Although he was hospitalized for anger, it wasn't that serious.

When the grandson's mother heard this, she was so angry that she felt dizzy and insisted on going to the hospital. The grandson's father beside her also had a gloomy face. The old couple hugged their heads and cried, wondering how could they have given birth to such an unfilial son.

After a checkup at the hospital, nothing was found. However, the grandmother refused to leave and kept crying and complaining about what her son had done.

Jiang Wenfang knew that her husband had made a great sacrifice, but she was relieved in her heart. Now, how could her parents-in-law urge her?

She stepped forward and advised: "Mom, please don't get angry. Brother Qiang was just impulsive, but things have come to this, there is really nothing we can do."

The grandfather thought about how his family had been a single-line family for three generations, and that he had no grandson but had his own son sterilized. He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

Sun Qiang said firmly with a stern face: "Dad, Mom, this has already happened, let's not make a fuss about it, okay? You can blame me if you want, but life must go on, don't mention the matter of urging your son anymore, it's better for our family to live peacefully."

The grandson's mother was very angry but didn't know what to do. She stretched out her finger and pointed as if wanting to say something, but when her lips moved, she couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, Jiang Wenfang whispered to the two elderly people: "Dad, Mom, if this gets out, people will say that Brother Qiang got you into the hospital out of anger. The army might even hold him responsible."

When the old couple heard this, they no longer dared to stay in the hospital. They didn't want to affect their son's future, so they quickly got off the bed, supported each other, and went home with bitter faces.

The next day at noon, Lin Xiang met Jiang Wenfang while having lunch in the cafeteria. Seeing that she was in high spirits, she knew that her parents-in-law were really under control and were unable to express their grievances. They were very angry.

Jiang Wenfang did not treat Lin Xiang as an outsider. She told her about the important events at home yesterday in a relaxed manner. She finally felt relieved: "Now my parents-in-law really can't urge me anymore."

"That's great." Lin Xiang patted the back of her hand, also a little excited. Instructor Sun's move was really amazing. "If everyone at home calms down and becomes more harmonious, everyone will be in a better mood."

"Of course not."

The two talked for a while and left the cafeteria of the second factory. Lin Xiang asked for leave in the afternoon and met He Hongyuan at the factory gate. They took a boat out of the island and went to the railway station in the city to pick up her mother-in-law He Guifang.

Jiang Wenfang returned to the workshop to take a lunch break and prepare for the afternoon work.

The Spanish mackerel sauce workshop was full of leisure, with the workers chatting and gossiping. Jiang Wenfang listened and laughed along, until a few workers called her to move "defective products" from the coconut juice production workshop as welfare, and she hurriedly followed them.

This is the benefit of working in a factory. There are so many benefits. Almost every day, I can drink some "defective" soda. Although it is a defective product, Jiang Wenfang can't tell where the defect is.

Four workers, each carrying a small bucket of coconut juice, returned to the workshop, ready to share with everyone. Jiang Wenfang walked at the end, her nostrils filled with the sweet aroma of coconut juice. When she looked up, she saw two men suddenly appear in front of her.

The man asked confidently, "From the second factory, you are the newcomer to the Spanish mackerel sauce workshop, right? How is your workshop going now? Is the production of Spanish mackerel sauce going smoothly?"

Jiang Wenfang had just arrived at the factory and was gradually getting familiar with Factory 2, getting to know the leaders and the heads of each workshop, but he was not familiar with Factory 1.

She vaguely remembered that she had seen these two figures somewhere before. It should have been when Director Huang and Secretary Tang of Factory 1 came with a group of workshop directors, deputy directors and technical backbones from Factory 1 to inspect and train.

"Comrade, who are you?" Jiang Wenfang asked hesitantly.

"We are from the factory and are here to inspect your work. Just answer my questions honestly." The man saw that she looked like a newcomer and thought it would be easy to make a breakthrough.
