Since taking over the car, Qiu Yuling has been given the title of chief engineer, and she has to take it seriously.
The first thing to be discussed in the report is site selection. To be honest, this is not something that can be done in just three or five days.
"Large equipment puts a lot of pressure on the ground. This is not something that can be achieved by simply laying a good foundation. We also need to pay attention to the conditions of the soil itself." Qiu Yuling mentioned this to the project staff assigned by the Provincial Economic Office and the Ministry of Chemical Industry.
"Secondly, we need to consider transportation. Lan City already has a railway, so we can try to build a branch line into the factory..."
The geological survey alone would take some time. She decided to stay behind and let the three old men go back first. "We're still in the early stages of site selection and construction here, and the local Construction Committee is responsible for the construction.
Please follow the plan we agreed upon at the meeting and raise the equipment. Since this provincial fertilizer plant is large, we will recreate it one-to-one with the one in Cangzhou!"
The old men were all very excited and ready to fight. They had only fought a few small fights before, but now the real thing was about to happen.
And considering they already have business ties with Lan Machinery, they plan to directly coordinate across the province this time. "We'll ask the provincial party committee to bring the machinery factory in. This time, we won't go far away and start working right here."
They went back to prepare for the design, but Qiu Yuling stayed behind to attend endless meetings, large and small, completely forgetting what she had told her mother about returning in a few days.
Li Xingyao waited and waited but no one showed up, so he had to take a detour and turn through Lan City. Time was tight and the two of them couldn't even sit down for a meal.
Qiu Yuling was fine, as she was a pregnant woman and the organization took good care of her. She looked energetic, but Li Xingyao was the opposite, with sunken eye sockets and an untidy beard.
Qiu Yuling asked distressedly, "How many days have you not slept?"
He didn't say anything. He worked overtime to finish his work just to make time to see her. Now he only cared about her health. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing, the child is very well behaved. It's hard for her to follow me back and forth, but it won't be so tiring when we have a car."
Yes, Li Xingyao was sitting in his wife's car right now. He wasn't envious or jealous, his eyes filled with pride for his wife. "Yuling is really capable. Our baby must be proud of you too."
It was a rare and brief moment of warmth. Suddenly, Qiu Yuling's belly bulged slightly, and then she quickly turned into a pupa. The baby's father saw this scene and his face was full of disbelief!
"She, she can move?"
Nonsense, it’s been more than six months, what’s the point if it can’t move?
Qiu Yuling smiled and asked him to touch her belly to feel it.
Li Xingyao looked around like a thief, then he gently covered it with his excited heart and trembling hands.
"It's really moving, Yuling, our child knows it's me..."
Qiu Yuling let him go, shouting and yelling, considering his lack of knowledge, but she didn't know that her own eyes were also shining with stars!
Li Xingyao looked at his watch reluctantly. It was almost time to leave. He mustered up his courage and quickly embraced his wife, giving her a reluctant hug. "Don't tire yourself out. I'll try harder and I won't leave you like this again..."
After seeing off the factory director's brother-in-law, Director Qiu returned to work, but before that, she had to go back to check on the factory and her home.
Since she couldn't stay there quietly, there was no need for Mother Qiu to stay in Wu City alone.
Qiu Yuling wanted to send her and Lan Dou back to Qiu Zhuang so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything when she was away from home.
The car stopped downstairs, and not to mention Li Qingmei who was holding the baby in the crowd, the crowd suddenly became excited and a group of people came over.
Most of them are old men and women, some are family members of cadres, and some are retired cadres.
There are many knowledgeable people among them, but most of them have never seen a sedan before.
Seeing Qiu Yuling coming down from above and making way for Li Qingmei, she squeezed to the front holding Lan Dou and asked, "Yuling is back? Did you see Xingyao?" And what's going on with this car?
"Yeah, I see you, Mom. Let's go home first. Let me go to the bathroom." She drove the car back alone. To be honest, the road condition was not good and she was quite tired.
Li Qingmei felt very distressed and quickly made way for him. "Auntie, let's talk later when we have time. The baby is pregnant. Let her come in and take it easy..."
Those who can live in the cadre building are not uncultured. They were just curious at first, but now that they have seen the real owner, they feel it is natural. It's not like they haven't seen Director Qiu driving the Farm Reclamation Bureau's car before, it's just not like this new thing.
But he didn't know that this belonged to Director Qiu himself.
Li Qingmei didn't know either. After they entered the house and finished talking, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, "You mean, that car is yours?" Wow, her daughter is amazing.
The county secretary didn't have a car, so she drove one first.
Qiu Yuling corrected her mother, "You can't say it's mine. It belongs to the factory, and I'm personally in control of it!"
It's all the same, "The factory is all yours!"
Qiu Yuling corrected her mother again, "Mom, the factory belongs to the country, and we serve the country and the people!"
Oh my, you’re still using this trick on her. Li Qingmei pouted, but the joy in her eyes couldn’t be hidden even if she wanted to.
"Mom, I'm busy with work here. Please pack up and I'll take you and Lan Dou back to Qiu Village. I'll come pick you up after I'm done with my work. By then, I think it will be time for me to give birth, so I'll still have to count on you."
Li Qingmei nodded. "That's fine. Then we'll ask Lan Dou's grandmother to take care of the baby for a while. I'll take care of you during your confinement. Your mother-in-law is still young, so it's not like she can skip work. If you can't, I'll help you take care of the baby."
Qiu Yuling didn't expect that Li Qingmei had this plan, and asked her with a smile, "What about Lan Dou?" It was still too early to send Miaomiao to class.
"He still has grandparents. What's the big deal? Your sister-in-law has already said it. Just put your mind at ease." Otherwise, why would she feel comfortable living in San'er's house? Although her daughter-in-law seems to be a bit lively, she has a kind nature. She can talk about many things without even saying anything.
Qiu Yuling didn't say anything and decided to take things one step at a time.
After having a meal and resting enough, since it was summer and the days were long, Qiu Yuling immediately took her mother and Lan Dou to Qiu Village.
When Li Qingmei got into her daughter's car, she felt that everything was different. She touched it left and right, and showed off to her babbling grandson in her arms, "See? Study hard and grow up to be like your aunt..."
Lan Dou also joined in, responding with "hmm" and "ahh".
Qiu Yuling drove the car all the way to her doorstep. When the neighbors who were coming home from work saw her, their mouths opened even wider than Li Qingmei's.
"Oh my God, this is incredible at Qiu Laoer's house!" They haven't even bought a bicycle yet, and they're already driving a Tibu!
