Speaking of Sun Kaicheng and Qian Jiefang, it makes their teeth ache. Who would have thought that their daughter was not even sixteen yet, and she was already engaged to that guy? He said that when he first saw that guy, he felt that the guy was up to no good.
His daughter was so young when that guy tricked her into marrying him. If it weren't for his parents' consent, he definitely wouldn't have given in after only half a year. Now his daughter is eighteen, and marriage is probably not far off.
Speaking of Sun Kaicheng, Li Guizhi was extremely satisfied. This young man was a perfect match for her daughter in every way. He treated her well, and he treated them no differently than he would his own parents.
“My daughter will be nineteen by the New Year. Shouldn’t they get married sooner or later?” Li Guizhi has always been clear about this, knowing that her daughter will eventually get married.
"Why bother? The groom isn't in a hurry, so why should we? Our daughter is still young; let's talk about this in a couple of years." He can't stand hearing his daughter get married right now.
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes at her husband: "Isn't it normal to get married at nineteen? I was only seventeen when I married you."
"That's not the same. We got married early back then, but it's not common to get married that early now."
"Nineteen is getting old. Do you want to keep your daughter as an old maid? She's been engaged for two years. Are you going to keep dragging this on?"
Qian Jiefang choked up: "So what if we drag it out? If you're not willing to wait, we can just find someone else."
Li Guizhi slammed her hand on the table: "Look at what you're saying! Is this something a father should say?"
San Dan and Si Dan quickly slipped away. Every time they accidentally mentioned Brother Sun, their father would become like a raging bear. If they didn't run away quickly, what were they waiting to be the punching bag for?
Si Dan teased his twin brother, "Do you think Brother Sun will bully our eldest sister after she gets married?"
San Dan glanced at Si Dan and said, "I doubt he would dare. With our eldest sister's fiery temper, it's more likely they'll fight each other. I just don't know who's stronger, the eldest sister or Brother Sun."
"Tell me, shouldn't we try our best? If we can't beat Brother Sun, how will we avenge our sister?"
San Dan's lips twitched. With his older sister's tigress-like demeanor, he didn't believe she was being bullied. Just wait and see, Brother Sun would definitely be afraid of his wife in the future.
"Good luck then. I'm going back to sleep now. I have to get up early to exercise tomorrow morning." The two of them can't even beat the older sister, yet they're thinking quite far ahead.
"Hey, hey, why are you like this? I definitely can't do it alone. We'll have to go together."
Qian Jiefang stared wide-eyed at his wife, wondering why she was siding with outsiders.
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes: "What are you glaring at? Do you want to sleep somewhere else?"
Qian Jiefang immediately deflated: "How can you kick me out just because you can't argue with me? I was thinking that our daughter is still young, and we should wait a couple of years until she's settled down before talking about marriage. Once she's married, how can she be so happy?"
"You're just overthinking things. Neither of them are around. Now that they're married, they're just a young couple living their own peaceful lives. Uncle Zhou and his wife don't interfere. It's not like you're making a fuss over nothing."
"To be honest, apart from not living together, what's the difference between my daughter and her husband and me as a normal couple? They go to get off work and eat together every day. Getting married is just an extra formality."
Thinking of this, Qian Jiefang got even angrier. How could this kid be so shameless, insisting on living next door to his daughter and hanging around her all day? If it weren't for his second and third brothers going to work together, he would have already gone over to settle accounts with that kid.
"Tell me, how come that kid is so cunning? Our daughter is so young, and he's already got his eye on her. He's really figured out how to slowly boil a frog in water."
Li Guizhi gave Qian Jiefang a look that told him to figure it out himself. Qian Jiefang scratched his head and had nothing to say. When he was thinking about his wife, he was probably younger than that guy. He really couldn't find fault with that.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Whether we get married or not, the man has to bring it up first. Why are we arguing so much?" Forget it, he doesn't care anymore. It's no use for him to fight alone. No one in his family is on his side.
Qian Xiao had no idea that her father was so angry whenever he thought of Sun Kaicheng that he was sitting across from the factory director, waiting for the director to speak.
Factory Director Guan glanced at the model on the table, then at Qian Xiao, then back at the model, and then back at Qian Xiao. He repeated this action for at least three minutes, as if Qian Xiao had suddenly grown horns on his head, which amazed him.
Qian Xiao... Doesn't this person get dizzy from always acting like this?
He pointed to the tiny machine on the table, no bigger than the palm of his hand: "This, you really made it?!"
Qian Xiao wanted to roll her eyes. This question had been asked at least twenty times: "Really?"
"No, what made you decide to do this? This isn't your forte!"
"It's because the machine I used last time was too outdated. I had to hand-make all the parts I needed, which was exhausting. I thought that upgrading the machine would save me a lot of trouble."
Director Guan's lips twitched. "Look at this reason you're giving. It's infuriating to hear. With all that talent, why don't you go do research? Don't you know the country is in dire need of people like you?"
Qian Xiao shifted her position, wondering why Factory Director Guan's gaze was so frightening.
Factory Director Guan wasn't in a hurry. He lay on the table and carefully examined the machine. He had some recollection of it; their factory had produced it before.
After looking around for a while, he started rummaging through the drawers. He remembered there was a magnifying glass in the drawer, but he couldn't see some details clearly. He searched for a long time, making a lot of noise as he rummaged through the drawers, which even got the secretary outside to bring in.
"Factory manager, what are you looking for?"
"Oh, you're here just in time. I remember I have a magnifying glass in my drawer." His eyesight is a little blurry now, so he uses a magnifying glass when reading the newspaper.
The secretary went over, opened the drawer, and found it in a few quick movements. He remembered that the factory manager had put it there himself; it had been accidentally dropped on the floor last time, and the magnifying glass had been moved from the table to the drawer.
Factory Director Guan took it: "Alright, you can go out now. Keep an eye on the gate, I'm not seeing anyone." Nothing is more important than what's in front of me right now; if this really succeeds, it will be a great achievement.
Qian Xiaodu got thirsty, picked up the teacup in front of him and felt it was a bit cold, then picked up the thermos next to him and added some hot water. The temperature was just right, so he drank it all in one gulp.
The person opposite him was practically lying on the table, scrutinizing the machine with a magnifying glass; he was practically ready to take it apart and see what was inside.
Qian Xiao had almost dozed off while waiting when she heard the voice on the other end of the line: "Little Qian."
