Yang Niannian walked over to Yueyue and sat down, speaking lightly.

"Mother-in-law, please stop finding fault with her. It's hard to find a caregiver now, and it's even harder to find a caregiver who can take care of a mother and help look after the child. If you drive her away, you will have to take care of Ruoling by yourself, wash her diapers, and hold the baby."

When Ma Xiuzhu heard this, she immediately became very obedient and started to explain hesitantly.

"I didn't say I wanted to chase her away. I've had back pain lately and can't be too tired."

At this moment, Lu Qingyuan remembered an important thing. Why hasn't he seen the child after being here for so long?

"Sister-in-law, why isn't the baby in the room?"

Yang Niannian's attitude towards Lu Qingyuan became a little more enthusiastic. "The baby was born prematurely and is a little light. He needs to be taken care of by hospital staff for the time being. He can't be brought over yet."

When Lu Qingyuan heard that it was only a little over five kilograms, he nodded.

"It's a little light."

Five pounds, not even as big as his shoes.

Ma Xiuzhu couldn't keep quiet and interrupted, "That doctor is pretty. Is she married? Your cousin's son is not married yet..."

Yang Niannian interrupted her, "She is the daughter of the political commissar, a doctor who graduated from a reputable medical university. If she wants to marry, she will marry someone of equal status."

When Lu Guozhi heard this, he glared at his wife and said, "Don't mess around with matchmaking."

As they were talking, Aunt Zhou came back. Lu Guozhi felt a little uncomfortable and his expression became subtle.

The ward was not big to begin with, and now with a few more adults in, it seemed very crowded. It was inconvenient for Aunt Zhou to get something.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Yang Niannian took her in-laws out to eat and booked a small hotel for them to stay in.

Because Lu Ruoling was in the hospital, Yang Niannian had no mood to take Ma Xiuzhu out shopping. They were bored sitting in the hospital all day. Ma Xiuzhu got a little annoyed after just one day and clamored to go back home.

"There are so many chickens and ducks at home. If I don't go back, Ailian won't care about them. She won't even know if someone else catches them and stews them. I have to go back early."

Thinking that he couldn't help much by staying here and that Yang Niannian would have to pay for the hotel, Lu Guozhi agreed to go back and asked Lu Qingyuan to book a ticket back to Ancheng.

Before leaving, he gave Lu Ruoling ten dollars.

"I don't know when you will hold the full-month banquet. Our home is far away from here, and it's not easy to come here. I won't come when you hold the full-month banquet. Take this money. It's a little gift from me and your mother."

Yang Tianzhu also took out ten yuan. Although he was not good at speaking, he spoke sincerely.

"This is a gift from your sister-in-law and me. You should take good care of yourself. If you miss home, we can go back together when Fengyi gets better."

Lu Ruoling was so moved that he never expected that his father and elder brother would give him so much money. He was hesitating whether to accept it or not when Ma Xiuzhu suddenly spoke.

"Didn't we agree on five dollars on the way? Why didn't you discuss it with me before giving me ten dollars?"

Lu Guozhi and Lu Qingyuan looked embarrassed. Outsiders came to visit their sister and brother-in-law and brought so many things. How could they afford to give five dollars to such close relatives?

Ma Xiuzhu didn't notice the change in their expressions, and didn't care that she was in front of her son-in-law and daughter, so she spoke directly.

"Just give them five dollars. It's easy for them to make money when they are young. We are old now and need to save some money for retirement."

Lu Guozhi felt embarrassed and scolded.

"I am the head of the family, and I give you whatever I say."

After that, he stuffed the money into Lu Ruoling's hand and said, "Take this money. It's a little gift from your father. Don't think it's too little."

Lu Qingyuan also put it in her hand and said, "It's getting late, let's set off first."

She was originally quite touched, but after Ma Xiuzhu's commotion, the tears that were about to flow out of Lu Ruoling instantly retracted.

"Go slowly on your way."

"Dad, Mom, and big brother, I won't see you off." Li Fengyi said.

Lu Guozhi waved his hand, "No need to send me off."

Lu Qingyuan followed.

"Feng Yi, you should have a good rest! When you are well, take the baby and Ruo Ling back to see them."

Li Fengyi nodded, "Okay, take care."

Yang Niannian sent them to the bus stop near the hospital. After seeing them get on the bus, she felt relieved.

This mother-in-law is really a headache, but fortunately she has never suffered any harm from her mother-in-law, so she doesn't feel resentful.

Lu Ruoling and Li Fengyi both recovered well, and their complexions gradually became rosy. Worried that Li Fengyi's muscles would atrophy if he lay in bed for too long, Yang Niannian decided to let Xiaobing go back and found a professional caregiver to give him leg massages every day.

The next day.

Yang Niannian bought some snacks, toys and clothes, and took Jiang Yueyue to the army to visit An An. After only a year of not seeing him, he had grown a lot taller and was even taller than Yueyue.

His features and eyebrows became more and more like Lu Nianfei, and he already had the heroic spirit of a young man.

After finally coming back, she went to see her old leader again. After chatting about Lu Shishen's situation in Beijing, she took An An to the city to play for a day.

Because she had to sign the contract on the 6th, she sent An An back to the military family compound that night.

Early the next morning, Yang Niannian got up, changed into more formal clothes and went to the factory.

At nine o'clock, the head of the overseas company arrived at the factory gate on time. In addition to him and his assistant, there was also a translator.

Qu Xiangyou briefly introduced everyone to each other, and the translator immediately translated.

This translator was arranged by the senior leader. He seemed not to be very proficient in Chinese. While translating, he would stop from time to time to think about vocabulary. Yang Niannian felt that this was inconvenient to communicate with, so she simply spoke to the other party directly.

She said in fluent English, "I also speak a little English, let's communicate directly!"

Seeing that her pronunciation was more standard than that of the translator, the overseas manager was immediately surprised and applauded and praised her with great delight.

Since there was no need for on-site translation, the overseas person in charge introduced himself again.

"I gave myself a Chinese name, Liu Fugui. I heard that this is a very popular name here."

Yang Niannian smiled and praised, "It's a very nice name, Mr. Fugui. You must have a certain understanding of our culture to come up with such a meaningful name."

This flattery touched Liu Fugui's heart. He admired this young and knowledgeable girl and praised her sincerely.

"I heard you're from a Beijing university, and you're pretty good."

Yang Niannian smiled modestly, "I'm OK in my studies, but everything in the factory depends on this amazing helper of mine."

Liu Fugui glanced at Qu Xiangyou and said, "You are all very capable."

Seeing that the two were chatting so happily, Qu Xiangyou's nervous mood calmed down.

Yang Niannian was just about to invite Liu Fugui to the office to chat when a car suddenly stopped at the factory gate. Several people looked in surprise and saw Liu Sheng getting out of the car.

Liu Sheng came up to Fugui with a flattering smile on his face, and greeted him with a nod and a bow.

"Mr. Fugui, I'm from Beisheng Factory. We've met once before. Do you remember me?"

After saying that, he urged the translator, "Help me translate quickly."

Upon hearing this, the translator quickly helped translate it.

Liu Fugui looked confused and shrugged to indicate that he had no impression.

Yang Niannian asked with a suppressed smile, "Mr. Fugui, since you don't know him, let's go up and sign the contract! Don't let irrelevant people disturb our cooperation. After signing the contract, I will take you to taste our Haicheng specialties."

When Liu Fugui heard that he could eat Haicheng's specialties, he smiled happily. He walked and chatted with Yang Niannian, complaining that the food he ate last time did not taste very good.

Just as Liu Sheng was about to chase after him, he was stopped by Qu Xiangyou.

"It's not appropriate to have outsiders at such an important moment."
