Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, who had been chatting outside, had overheard most of Han Chengjun and Han Meng's struggles. When they saw Han Chengjun come out, they simply asked him to sit down and have some tea, without saying anything more.
This is someone else's family matter. If you get involved, aren't you just asking for trouble?
Besides, Han Meng doesn't get along with them. If I go up to talk to her and she finds out, she might complain. I'd better just drink my tea and live my life.
If we're talking about solutions, Xia Ri has a way. The next day at dinner, Han Meng agreed to stay and study at the school in Beijing.
There are three people in the family preparing for the college entrance examination. Since they are all family members, Lin Xiaoxiao took out all the books she had and studied with Han Qiulin and Han Meng.
Time flies. Lin Xiaoxiao was studying while also taking care of things at the factory. When it was time, she would go to the hospital to check on the baby in her belly.
That day, Lin Xiaoxiao brought her designs to the factory, and also brought a lot of snacks. She went around to both the clothing factory and the bag factory, distributing everything she had.
Now both factories are gradually getting on track, and Ren Jianguo and his team are managing them in an orderly manner. Lin Xiaoxiao rarely needs to make decisions, so she can focus on designing.
She gave the bag design sketches to the pattern maker.
Lin Xiaoxiao hires young women to make the patterns for the bags. Both of them have been involved in making clothes and insoles since childhood. Despite their young age, they have a wealth of experience in the industry.
Because they were about the same age and the generation gap wasn't that big, Lin Xiaoxiao got along well with both of them. When Xiao Cui and Xiao Li saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming over, they said while they were working, "You're here."
"Here we are, new work has arrived." Lin Xiaoxiao said, placing the snacks on the table and gesturing for them to come and eat.
When Xiao Cui and Xiao Li saw the food, they immediately put down what they were doing, washed their hands, and happily started eating. While eating, they couldn't help but circle around Lin Xiaoxiao twice.
After finishing what was in her mouth, she couldn't help but make a clicking sound: "Xiaoxiao, you're already four months pregnant, aren't you?"
"I have two babies in my belly, but it doesn't feel very big. You say you eat a lot every day, is that really true?"
It's no wonder the two women said such things. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't look like a pregnant woman at all, because she wasn't showing yet. Lin Xiaoxiao was tall and slender, and she always looked energetic when she came over, which was very different from the pregnant women they had met.
Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "Actually, I do have a belly, but it's covered by my clothes, so it's not obvious at all."
She observes her belly almost every day, comparing it to her previous one. Her belly is actually quite protruding now, most noticeable when she wears pants. However, since everyone's clothes are loose these days, if you don't tell anyone, no one can tell.
Even though she was pregnant, she didn't just eat excessively. She didn't neglect her studies or work at the factory. With so much food, most of it was actually used up by the end of the day, or rather, absorbed by the baby. She didn't gain much weight at all.
Even yesterday, when Han Qiushi had his arm around her waist, she couldn't help but ask this question.
Three months later, due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, Lin Xiaoxiao became less reserved in this regard than before, and Han Qiushi could hardly stand his beautiful wife acting like this.
She was naturally happy to serve her, and they often played cards together. During this time, her life with Han Qiushi was as sweet as honey, so she looked to be in excellent condition.
Lin Xiaoxiao's state of mind made Xiao Cui and Xiao Li extremely envious. How could someone be so happy after getting married? The two of them secretly longed for marriage themselves.
Seeing their lovesick expressions, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately thought of Ren Jianguo and his friends. Finding a partner would be easy for them! There were so many young men to choose from at the factory; finding someone would be a piece of cake.
Lin Xiaoxiao found it strange that so many soldiers were here, yet they didn't seem to have any designs on the unmarried girls. How could they resist?
Although Xiao Cui and Xiao Li weren't particularly beautiful, their appearances were certainly not bad.
After discussing the styles she had brought with them, Lin Xiaoxiao took her things and went to the clothing factory. She found Ren Jianguo and Chen Dazhuang and looked at them with a smile on her face.
Her expression made Ren Jianguo and the others a little uneasy: "Sister-in-law, is something wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you should be around the same age as Qiu Shi, right? How come you two are still single?"
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Huang Shan immediately took a step back. "Sister-in-law, I don't have one. My wife is back in my hometown. They... they are the ones who don't have wives."
When Ren Jianguo and Chen Dazhuang heard their good friend say that, they both glared at him. Turning around, they saw Lin Xiaoxiao still smiling and scratched their heads awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?"
"What for? Of course, I want to ask you if you want to find a partner?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them teasingly, secretly amused.
“Sister-in-law, I’m also looking for one, but look, this is a military region, and you can walk for half a day and not see a single woman. Every time I go out to meet someone, it’s either a grown man or a married woman.”
“The factory is quite busy right now. Recently, a new factory called Chengguang has appeared on the market and has taken away a lot of our business. I’m so focused on this that I haven’t thought about finding a partner,” Ren Jianguo said, his face full of distress.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a partner; he's already this old, who wouldn't want a wife, kids, and a warm bed? It's just that circumstances don't allow it. Lin Xiaoxiao trusts him so much, and he has such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders; he can't just have whatever he wants.
Lin Xiaoxiao keenly noticed the words "Chengguang" (橙光). If she remembered correctly, this factory was set up by Liu Hai and Wan Li, right?
I only remembered finding the mastermind behind this a while ago, and I didn't remember anything about the factory. I guess I'll have to ask Han Qiushi about it tonight and see if I can take over the factory.
After all, the factory was built with "stolen money," so it's understandable to take it back. On the contrary, it will provide more job opportunities for everyone and give the military an extra source of income. Anyway, Ren Jianguo and his team already manage two factories, so one more won't make a difference.
