Originally, everyone laughed at the couple for having only two children, and not living up to their aspirations. But who would have thought that their descendant is here, and she is someone else's daughter-in-law.
Not only is this a joke, but you also have to beg others, otherwise you won’t be able to knock on their door.
Some people said that since she is a member of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, it is her duty to participate in these matters.
Someone else took up the conversation and said, "He is a standing committee member of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. So what?"
Li Hongyuan added, "He's also an economic advisor to the Northwest Trade Organization, a non-staff member of the Agricultural Reclamation Economics Section, and now a member and advisor to the Provincial Economic Development and Reform Commission..." With so many titles, anyone can do whatever they want with them. That would tire his child out!
"Old Li, the department has prepared some things to send to Comrade Yuling. Don't stop us. We are here to comfort our own comrades, not your children..." Don't stop Qiao Liang from building their friendship. This guy has taken all the good things.
Go away, go away, it’s already time for you to leave after the confinement period, so he won’t stop you anymore.
Qiu Yuling did not expect that her father-in-law would give her the credit. In the work report, he not only mentioned her name but also attached her manuscript paper.
I was a little confused when I received the condolences and medals.
The comrades who came to visit thought Qiu Yuling was selfless and unwilling to take credit for this achievement. They earnestly advised her, "Comrade Yuling, don't refuse. This is what you deserve. The city has even recommended you to the provincial level to be selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people this year..."
They are very confident that Qiu Yuling will be able to break through the siege and make it into the list of outstanding young people in the country!
Qiu Yuling felt that they were blindly full of hope for her.
Treated everyone to some dried fruits and tea.
"These dried apricots are delicious." Among the comrades who came to express their condolences, there was a female comrade. While others were busy talking, she sat down, picked up a dried apricot and put it in her mouth.
Qiu Yuling smiled and replied, "Director Ma, if you like it, I'll pack some for you when you leave. My second brother and his wife sent it from Xinjiang. The dried fruits and vegetables there are really big and sweet."
Director Ma was a little flattered. She was brought in today to fill in the numbers because there were few female comrades in the department, especially those who had reached a certain level.
The few people who came today all had work intersections with Qiu Yuling, including those from the Ministry of Agriculture and Trade and the National Development and Reform Commission. She was the only one in charge of logistics and supplies. Considering that Qiu Yuling was a woman and had just given birth, it would be inconvenient for a group of men to visit her.
She was wondering how powerful such a young female factory manager who had a name in everything must be. However, when they met, she found that she was like a dough and not fierce at all.
When talking to everyone, no matter their age, he always spoke with discretion, and even when talking about work, he spoke as if it were a casual chat. It was incredible that he could still distract himself to take care of her at this moment.
“No, no, I’m just curious about the plump flesh of these dried apricots. I have several large apricot trees at home. Every year, if we can’t finish eating them all, the elderly in my family will dry them in the sun.
But they are all dry and shriveled, not of this quality."
Qiu Yuling smiled and explained that this method was actually pretty much the same for everyone. "...just pay attention to the temperature and humidity when drying, and seal it in a clay jar for storage. Maybe ordinary people like us don't have that kind of patience..."
Farmers are tired after a busy day at work, struggling to make ends meet. How can they have the time to turn over things, move things in and out of the house?
Just dry it in the sun and put it in a bag.
The two of them discussed it and found that they had the same idea. Director Ma suddenly realized, "No wonder, I will try it myself this year to see if I can achieve the same quality." After saying that, he smiled at Qiu Yuling.
Li Qingmei had already packed the food when her daughter gave her a wink for the first time. Four people came, and each of them had dried apricots, dried dates, and raisins in their small pockets.
Qiu Yuling smiled and refused to let them refuse. "The department is so busy, and it's already a mistake for a junior like me to bother you to come visit. Take these snacks home and ask the kids at home to eat them.
Teacher Zhao, please take the lead, otherwise I will take out all the things in the department and return them to you..."
After much persuasion and some pushing and shoving, the two sides completed the simple handover ceremony.
In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just that in this exchange of gifts, what they gave away was public property, but Qiu Yuling's behavior was based on their personal favor. This method immediately touched everyone's heart.
They both felt that they could talk to each other, and that this was what friendship was all about. Even though the gift was small, the sentiment was profound.
Moreover, it is precisely such an ordinary return gift that has the right scale, neither frivolous nor polite.
After seeing off this wave of guests, Li Xingyao, who had spent the whole day in the laboratory, arrived.
He changed his clothes before going in and carrying out his beloved daughter. Looking at the tea tray that had not been removed in time, he said, "Someone's coming home again." It was not a question, but an affirmation.
"Well, Dad's colleagues at the department asked Dad and said that Tunan is out of her double confinement and can see people again. They came to see her and gave her a big red envelope. It's over there, and I haven't received it yet."
Li Xingyao didn't touch it either. It was not his place to move the money that came into the house. It was his wife who had the final say on where to put it.
While talking, Qiu Yuling opened the red envelope and twisted it with her fingers, and she knew there were ten notes.
She didn't hesitate and put it away. Li Qingmei returned to the stove and couldn't help but whisper to her mother, "Why are the gifts from city people so expensive..."
This period of time has really opened her eyes, and sometimes she is even afraid.
The old lady didn't know what to say, so she just told her to shut up and stop talking nonsense. "Lingling knows what's going on, so just don't talk nonsense outside."
"How could that be? I'm not stupid." It was because she still had her mother. Otherwise, if she were in other families in the team, some of them would have become old nobles at her age.
All the money Qiu Yuling received was given in the name of the unit, and she did not touch any money given in her personal name.
Since it was given in the name of the unit, it was nothing more than a personal reward and compensation given to her using Li Tunan as an excuse, and it was what she deserved.
After the reform and opening up, any idea like these could make a fortune.
Her actions can be considered as righteous deeds. She just feels sorry for these times and the simple people in these times, and is unwilling to keep it secret until she can make a fortune in the future.
She always believed that the achievements of one person were insignificant, and that the development of a county, a city, a province, or even a country could fundamentally bring hope.
