The arrival of his father-in-law made Li Xingyao feel much more at ease when he went out.
Despite this, he still made many preparations in advance. Not only did he buy flour and oil, he also asked someone to get him two laying hens, a very rare piece of bacon, and more dried goods.
Before leaving, I gave a detailed explanation, "...You don't have to save money. If I find something easy to get outside, I will send it back directly. Don't let you and the child suffer.
I've also told Mom that if you have anything that's appropriate or inappropriate, just tell her directly. Don't pay attention to any arguments between Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, because Mom is here..."
Qiu Yuling tried hard to concentrate and listen, but her head was drowsy.
Li Xingyao watched her head nodding, and finally his chest was filled with reluctance.
Only after sending her father-in-law and her father's man out the door did Qiu Yuling breathe a sigh of relief.
Qiu Jianshe is no longer picky. He smiled and said to Qiu Yuling, "It's great to have a son-in-law like this. It makes my father feel at ease." Of course, his son is even better.
Qiu Yuling saw her father washing the greasy bacon leg and said, "Dad, just wash out the little bit at the front so we can eat it today. I'll eat the rest later."
Qiu Jianshe was right. "Otherwise, you'll have to wash it next time because you'll have scraped off all the fat."
Qiu Yuling acquiesced, actually because she didn't want his hard work to be in vain. Not only would Zhu Zhu have to fight back, but he would also be exhausted.
At noon, the father and daughter stir-fried a plate of bacon with garlic sprouts and ate it with two bowls of rice. It was delicious.
Seeing that her father was clearly worried about the people inside, but also worried about her, and was reluctant to mention going back, Qiu Yuling took the initiative to say, "Dad, why don't you just not go back? Anyway, our family doesn't rely on the few work points you and my mother earn to survive anymore."
"Oh, that won't do! The people in the team will talk about us behind our backs, saying that we are too proud of ourselves. Your mother and I are too young to work.
Gray Donkey is at your uncle Jun's house. Dad will wait a little longer and come back during the spring planting season. Maybe your mother will be back by then..."
After asking, Qiu Yuling knew that he still had no intention of taking a break, so she told him that he could go back to work at home at any time, "...just don't work as hard as before, just take your time, chat with the uncles and aunts in the team, and chat a little.
You can see that I have everything I need here. My food and accommodation are all very well-equipped. You can also eat in the factory cafeteria. It's very convenient and worry-free. If I have something amiss, my mother-in-law lives nearby and takes good care of me..."
Qiu Jianshe thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If he kept it, he would only make things worse. His daughter would have to run back and forth. "That's right. Then Dad will tell you what you want to eat. Ask Gouzi to send a message and Dad will bring it to you."
Qiu Yuling packed up a lot of food and asked him to take it back. "Please stop pushing and shoving. I really can't finish it all by myself. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who can afford to eat without food."
“…”
Qiu Jianshe rode his bike back that afternoon.
After Qiu Yuling locked the door, she asked Zhuzhu to prepare a meal of grilled lamb chops. She hid back in the cabin to eat while the little tentacle monster excitedly cleaned the house.
After finishing the meal, I picked up the carrot and mutton soup that had been prepared on the side and drank it, and felt that life was still so beautiful.
The factory's legal affairs department has been prepared. Although there are few people at present, there is not much work to do. It is more about setting up the preliminary team.
Qiu Yuling wanted Ao Liang and his wife to take the lead, and gave them great respect and authority.
"Master Ao, Master Nie, you two should prepare, pick a few suitable people, and discuss who will lead the team this year. I plan to have the Legal Affairs Department follow during the Spring Guangzhou Fair."
The couple looked at each other, and Nie Bingran stood up and said, "I'll go this time. I'm majoring in French." Another reason was that Qiu Yuling was pregnant, and this would be her last time leading the team in the next two years.
She is a lesbian, so it will be more convenient for me to take care of her.
"Well, I'll have to ask Master Ao to take care of the family. We have to go there early and come back later this time. We still need to apply for a patent in France for our small agricultural machinery..."
"No problem, it's all part of our job. Director, you don't have to be so polite to us in the future. We are Zaohua's people now, and we will follow the organization's arrangements." Ao Liang felt that the director was really thoughtful to them.
Qiu Yuling also wanted to go, but this time she would not follow from beginning to end as they had expected.
Since last year, she has intended to involve foreign-related departments in the compilation and application of domestic and foreign patents.
This group of people are now officially placed in the Legal Affairs Department and are also on the travel list this time. She will only go with them to keep an eye on things and give some pointers at critical moments. She does not intend to rush to the front and do it herself like before.
After making arrangements at the factory, Qiu Yuling went to her mother-in-law to report the situation. "...Mom, I'm leaving soon, and I'm on a sleeper berth on the way, so it's nothing."
Sun Tianxia also knew that this was work, but she still felt a little sorry for her daughter-in-law. "Then you should be careful on the road and don't try to be too brave. Ask the workers who are accompanying you to help carry the things.
It just so happens that I changed some yarn and thought your belly would get bigger, so I knitted you a loose sweater. The only thing missing is the sleeves. I'll send it to you tomorrow when it's finished."
He carefully tied the two ends of the bamboo needle with a loop of thread, and then asked Qiu Yuling to try it on. "It's okay. It seems a little loose now. When your belly gets bigger, you can put on some clothes and it will fit."
Actually, it’s not big, but now it’s popular to wear very fitted styles, so she thinks the one her mother-in-law knitted is too loose. It’s actually very beautiful.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law really liked it, Sun Tianxia was also very happy. She pointed to the small bundle on the bed and said, "The little coat inside is what I sewed for the baby. The quilt and mattress are all new. Put them here for now. I'll take them out to dry in the sun from time to time..."
Qiu Yuling flipped through it. It was so small that she even thought it looked like something a doll would wear. "Isn't it too small?"
"Not small at all. When a baby is just born, it's only about the length of a man's shoe. But it grows fast. I've also made the big one, and I have small sweaters and pants and everything else ready."
Qiu Yuling didn't stop them. She knew that her mother-in-law's family was well off, and not allowing them to do these things would make her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, please stretch yourself a little and don't work too hard."
"It's okay. When they were little, I was just like you are now, completely absorbed in my work and had no time for these things. Now that I have the chance, it feels like I'm raising them all over again, making up for that little regret of mine that no one knows about."
She said it openly, but was afraid that her daughter-in-law would think too much and think she was resentful of her for being too focused on work, so she added, "Actually, I can't say I have any regrets. If I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice.
When you need to work, focus on your work. There will naturally be a day when you want to work but can't."
