"We'll see how it goes then. Anyway, I've entrusted this task to my man."
The military wife said sourly, "You used to look down on them, how come you've all changed now?"
“We have to admit that others are excellent. If we can’t beat them, we can join them and life will be a little easier. My husband said that Commander Gu… no, Brigade Commander Gu is very excellent, not someone that ordinary people can compare to.”
"You...you're boring...you're just a vixen who tries to win people over, always dressed up in fancy clothes."
"That's because Commander Gu spoils his wife. You can ask your husband to buy you clothes too. With your husband's meager salary, he has to support your family of four, as well as your parents and sister-in-law in the countryside. It's normal that he can't afford nice clothes."
"But Comrade Su Ying is different. Her family has a father like Chief Qin, and her husband's family is also doing well. She has to dress up every day, otherwise where will the money go?"
"That's true. Her family is well-off, and she can't compare to us ordinary people at all. I heard that Qin's older brothers even give her pocket money, so how could she not have money to spend?"
"Exactly. I don't know how Comrade Su Ying gets along with her stepmother, to be able to do so much for her."
"Yes, yes, they even protect you when you go to a phone booth to answer a call."
The military wives were chatting happily on one side, while Su Ying had just answered the phone when Sun Xuelin's voice started crackling like firecrackers.
They were all expressing their gratitude to her, and Su Ying was so tired of hearing it that her ears were practically calloused.
"Comrade Sun, what are you thanking me for? If it's for saving your life, then there's no need for that."
"That's not it."
"Why is that?"
"Because my wife is pregnant, and I heard that you gave her the medicine, she has been taking it consistently, and yesterday she found out she was pregnant."
Su Ying hadn't expected this. It seemed that her infertility treatment... was ready to be marketed.
However, the time is not right yet. There are still eight years until the reform and opening up, at which time these drugs can be put on the market.
She should make as many pills as possible during these eight years, so that she can manage her time.
A company is not just about management; it also involves other aspects of management.
Take advantage of the ample time now and prepare these things.
Gu Sinian can manage the greenhouse vegetables well; she just needs to take some time to go and check on them occasionally.
She understood what the higher-ups meant; it was just that they had verified Gu Sinian's involvement in solving the case, but the main issue was the greenhouse vegetables.
As long as the problem of having vegetables in winter is solved, Gu Sinian's future will be bright.
The claim of being promoted two ranks is merely a pretext, as the position originally intended for Gu Sinian was taken by someone else.
However, she understood the reasoning behind it, and everyone else did too; they were just pretending not to understand.
Even her father could tell that it was just an excuse for others.
Her thoughts drifted a little, but Su Ying quickly pulled them back, wanting to verify her idea.
But she wouldn't ask too many questions; instead, she would probe first, since all calls in the phone booths were recorded.
She dared not say that much.
It would be troublesome if it implicated her husband and the Qin family again.
"You're welcome. I only helped Cui'e because she's a friend. But you should know how to repay kindness and not tell anyone that I know medicine. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"I understand. I get it all. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble last time."
"It's okay. I know it wasn't your fault, it was just someone deliberately sabotaging you. I won't blame it on you."
Thank you for your understanding.
"By the way, how's the greenhouse vegetables going?"
"That's great. We've started making a profit. Willow Village is going to have a good year today. Thank you for your contribution to Willow Village."
“My father said that he will give you a dividend once a year, and he will always make a note that it is a dividend, so it won’t cause you any trouble.”
“A few days ago, a high-ranking official came to inquire about greenhouse vegetables and asked a lot of questions about you and your husband. My father let it slip… about the annual dividends we give you. Will that have any impact on you?”
As expected, someone went to inspect Luliushu Village in advance, which gave Gu Sinian the opportunity to be promoted two ranks. How pragmatic!
They say Gu Sinian's contributions to Dongshi are nothing more than his interest in the greenhouse vegetables developed by the couple.
She wasn't that stingy. When she first had the idea of greenhouse vegetables, it was simply so that she could eat fresh vegetables at her post during the winter.
She has a space where she can stock up on vegetables when winter comes, but she never dares to take them to the next room. She and Gu Sinian always eat them secretly in the space.
Afraid of not being able to explain things clearly if she brought out vegetables with green leaves, she would make extra green dumplings in her online space each time, and lied that they were sent by her sister-in-law from Willow Village.
She knew that the soldiers who defended the country worked really hard, and even eating green vegetables in winter was a luxury, which she absolutely could not allow.
Although the idea of greenhouse vegetables was not her own, but rather something she figured out by drawing on her memories from her previous life.
The success of the greenhouse vegetables was also inseparable from the efforts of all the villagers in Liushu Village. It was thanks to the contributions of the Bai family that the greenhouse vegetables were finally completed. Without the help of a professor, it would have been impossible for her to accomplish this even after several months.
"No. I'll just answer their questions directly; it doesn't bother me."
"As for the dividends, that's something I can talk about. It's a kind gesture from the villagers, and it's not a lot of money. They won't do anything to me."
Sun Xuelin took a deep breath, relieved that his benefactor was alright.
Actually, he wanted to tell everyone about his wife's pregnancy. The most important thing was that he was afraid his father would accidentally reveal the details about the profit sharing, which would cause trouble for Comrade Su, the educated youth.
"It's good that everything's alright. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"good."
Before the call could even end, Chen Cuie's voice rang out, "Hang up for what? You've finished saying what you wanted to say, and I haven't even said anything yet. Get lost."
"this……"
Sun Xuelin looked helpless; he couldn't scold his wife these days, he could only spoil her.
"Hello, hello... Are you there? Is Yingying there?"
"I'm here. Just say what you want to say."
"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to talk to you and thank you properly for the medicine."
"I've received your thanks, no need to be so polite, we're friends, aren't we?"
The person on the other end of the phone paused suddenly, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Ying looked completely bewildered, but then she roughly understood what was going on.
"What's up?"
"There is a little bit of a problem."
"Speak."
