After spending the double confinement period, Qiu Yuling kissed her little baby deeply and solemnly entrusted the baby to the child's grandmother and great-grandmother, ready to go.
"Mom, grandma, the food packs are all in the drawer, and the money is in the box, don't be reluctant to spend them.
If I can't take care of this, I will arrange for Xiao Zhao to deliver some things. You can eat and use them with peace of mind. I won't accept anything from outside. I will handle anything myself..."
The two generations of grandmothers nodded one by one. It was cold this day, so she sent them upstairs and said, "I'll stay in the yard when I come back. You can just stay upstairs and enjoy the sunshine when you want."
She also wanted to bring Qiu Jianshe over. Qiu Jianshe was willing to come, but he was unwilling to go upstairs, saying that someone had to watch the telephone line in the bungalow.
It was just a telephone line, but Qiu Yuling didn't get upset. Her father was afraid that she would go home unexpectedly and find the house cold and lonely.
Plus, sometimes the driver Xiao Zhao would follow her through the night, sending people back late at night. Plus, the young man was very perceptive and always helped out in the yard, going in and out...
But the son-in-law is not at home all the time, and being alone with his wife is prone to gossip.
In fact, Qiu Yuling didn't think it was a big deal. It couldn't be a big deal if the driver helped to move things. What's more, it was okay for her to move things by herself. It was just that she didn't want to ignore the other person's enthusiasm.
On the way, Qiu Yuling asked Xiao Zhao, "You'll be nineteen next year. Have you made up your mind? Do you still want to go to school?"
The college entrance examination will be relaxed in a few years, and if the young man has any ideas, she doesn't mind giving it a push.
But Xiao Zhao just loves driving, no matter if it's a truck or a car. As long as he touches the steering wheel, he can master any difficult task without any instruction. "...When I read a book, the words on the book are like talismans, and they make me dizzy when I see them."
"Okay, there are 360 professions and every profession has its top talent. It's good to do whatever you love." Everyone has their own aspirations, so as long as she has the ambition.
It is not easy to get a driver’s license nowadays. Xiao Zhao is still just a trainee driver, and Qiu Yuling has to drive on difficult roads by herself.
But the young man has some talent in this regard. He can always notice when the sound of the ignition is not right.
"Director, there have been people wandering around our yard lately. Luckily, we sent grandma and the others upstairs. Otherwise, if we hadn't left so suddenly, people would have been a little worried."
Qiu Yuling noticed this, which was one of the reasons she didn't insist Qiu Jianshe move upstairs with her. "It's okay, I know what's going on. I've already notified the police, and they'll be stepping up their patrols."
It’s not considered chaos now, unless someone is deliberately trying to do bad things. It will be really chaotic in a few years.
The two men were driving at night, chatting casually, which disturbed their sleep. When they arrived in Lan City, it was already late at night.
Qiu Yuling went straight to the old man's place. As an old man, he slept lightly, and the slightest noise would wake him up.
He guessed that it was probably Qiu Yuling who had arrived, so he put on his clothes and turned on the light, but he didn't expect that the other two old men had also gotten up.
After entering, Qiu Yuling felt a little embarrassed. "I woke you all up. I brought some stuff with me in the car. I thought it would be too conspicuous in the daytime, so I decided to unload it into the house at night..."
"It's okay. You said you would come today. We haven't seen you for a long time and have been missing you. Now that you're here, we feel relieved."
"That's right, come inside quickly, it's cold outside."
Xiao Zhao helped deliver a leg of lamb and a leg of pork to the kitchen, and then ran back and forth twice to move the flour, oil, cabbage and vermicelli from the cart back into the house.
"Then Director, I'm going to the guesthouse first. I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Well, don't come too early. Get some sleep and come back around eight."
After the outsiders left, the old man blamed her for moving his family here.
"It's okay. These are all from Minglu. I can't eat so much over there. You have more people here, so don't worry. I'll make up for any shortage later."
Qiu Yuling also brought a cotton-padded jacket for each of the three. Old Bian came to his senses and sighed, "This is what happened to my granddaughter!"
Unable to sleep anyway, the old man retreated to his room. Not long after, he came out holding a book like a treasure and said, "I found this while rummaging through the garage the other day. Don't you like this?"
It was a medical book without a cover. Qiu Yuling took it without hesitation and flipped through it. The more she flipped through it, the more seriously she took it.
It was a handwritten 'Medical Book on Trauma'. "Mr. Bian, this is very useful. I can vaguely tell it's a copy by Wan Yin Gong. There should be several copies..."
Putting aside its collection value, the techniques and old recipes contained in it are all very useful.
Seeing that she spoke so clearly, Mr. Bian knew that he had given it to the right person and was very happy. "I'm glad you can use it. We don't study this. We originally wanted to buy some books on mechanics, and when we saw this, we took it. I thought I would use it as a paper gift..."
This is the meaning of "gift-giving". It seems that what is being exchanged is objects, but in fact it brings people closer together.
Qiu Yuling cannot say that her output is aimless, but she has always believed that appropriate interpersonal interactions are the hub of relationships.
A few people talked briefly about the topic that Qiu Yuling was interested in for a while before going back to rest.
She still lives in the small house where she studied.
Brand new bedding, clean tables and chairs, just as they were before, showing that someone has taken good care of everything.
The provincial fertilizer plant was built according to the scale of the Cangzhou fertilizer plant. Unlike the one Qiu Yulin had previously handled, due to its large scale, complex equipment and high technical requirements, the construction period would not take three to five months, and could not even be completed in a year or two.
This battle was originally intended to last two years, or even longer.
Especially since they did not directly introduce imported equipment, everything was planned and built by themselves, so there was no question of how fast the progress was.
In addition, we are now living in a planned economy, and basic supplies cannot be fully guaranteed. Despite strong support from the provincial government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, there will still be some difficulties in raising funds and allocating materials, which will affect the construction progress.
Jia Wenlin shared all the current construction difficulties with Qiu Yuling, "Plus, the cold weather has affected the construction team as well."
Gu Zhiming also had difficulties. The kitchen team only set up the stage for them in the early stage. After they started to make steady progress, they withdrew. "...the people outside were more relaxed."
Qiu Yuling said she understood. "Let's start recruiting workers simultaneously. According to the scale of the factory construction, directly recruit people for each position. Let them devote themselves to the early construction. They will feel involved and it will be easier to manage in the future."
People are needed everywhere, such as those managing the canteen, the workshop, and the transport team. "I suggest that more quotas be allocated to veterans, including giving priority to their families..."
She has actually already drawn up the regulations for this, and this time she came here to get some recruitment suggestions.
