Yang Niannian put the things back into the house, then went to the kitchen to light the coal stove. She then found the refrigerated spareribs in the refrigerator, blanched them in hot water, and stewed them in the pot.
She hadn't taken a shower for several days and felt very uncomfortable. After stewing the ribs on the stove, she took some clean clothes and went to a nearby bathhouse to take a bath.
There were pork ribs stewing in the pot, so she didn't dare spend too much time washing. She calculated that it was almost an hour, so she hurried back. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled the aroma of meat.
She gave half of the ribs and soup to Xiao Hei to soak in steamed buns, and used the rest to cook some noodles.
She hadn’t eaten well for a while, so she was really a little greedy and ate seven or eight pieces of ribs and two bowls of noodles in one go.
After eating and drinking, I felt a little sleepy. Thinking it would be difficult to sleep right after eating, I called Zheng Xinyue and my hometown to report that I was safe before going to bed.
After sleeping while sitting for several days, she had not slept well due to back pain. When she lay down on the bed again, Yang Niannian felt like she was in heaven. She buried herself in the quilt and slept until nine o'clock the next day.
After a good sleep, she felt much better in spirit and complexion. Xiao Hei was very obedient and stayed in the nest beside the bed. As soon as Yang Niannian opened the door, he ran to the toilet in a hurry.
This guy originally didn't know how to go to the toilet. After that trip to the army, I don't know how Lu Shishen taught him, but he also learned how to go to the toilet and flush the toilet.
She probably wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Hei learned to speak human language one day.
After washing up, she cooked a pot of noodles, ate a bowl herself, poured the rest into the dog bowl, and went to the factory.
Everyone arrived early. Those who were married brought their wives and children, while those who were not married came by themselves. No one brought their parents.
When Yang Niannian arrived, the families of these people were chatting together. When they saw Yang Niannian coming, they immediately started talking in a low voice.
"Is this the boss? She's so young and pretty."
"Oh my god, she's already a big boss at such a young age, and she's still so beautiful, I'm really envious."
"I heard that she went to Qingcheng to provide support in person this time and donated a lot of supplies. She is very caring."
"If I looked like this and was this rich, it would be worth it to live a few years less."
The family members gathered together and discussed Yang Niannian in a low voice. Wei Shuqiao and Chen Chunyan listened to the conversation without saying a word. In fact, their thoughts were no different from those of these people.
If they could grow up like this and be so rich, they would be willing to live a few years less.
Li Fengyi had just finished checking the number of people and walked up to Yang Niannian and said.
"Second sister-in-law, everyone is here. I booked a restaurant next to the one I took Ruo Ling to last time."
Yang Niannian didn't have any objections, as long as there was a decent restaurant, "Now that we're all here, let's go now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Fengyi invited everyone to go to the restaurant. He greeted the store owner in advance and paid a deposit. The owner had already prepared the ingredients and the food was served quickly.
During this period of time, we have seen life and death separation in Qingcheng. Now we can have such a sumptuous hot meal with our family. We are so grateful.
When Yang Niannian said she was treating me to a meal, she simply meant it, without any other gimmicks. When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked the boss to serve the dishes, and after the meal, they distributed the meat and went home. Everyone present was deeply moved.
After everyone left, Yang Niannian went to the factory with Li Fengyi. She hadn't looked at the account book for a long time, so she had to go back and take a good look at it, and get Li Fengyi reimbursed for all the bills that needed to be reimbursed. She couldn't let him work here and pay for it.
The two of them walked and talked about things in the factory. When they talked about when they would have a holiday at the end of the year, Yang Niannian suddenly changed the subject and said.
"You haven't been to Shi Shen's hometown yet, right? Ruo Ling hasn't been back for a long time either. When we get the car in December, we'll go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. The house at home will be completed soon, so it'll be just right for us to live in during the New Year."
Taking advantage of the New Year holiday, she went back to discuss road construction with the leaders there.
The eldest brother has already contracted the mountain, and only after she has finalized the road construction will the eldest brother and his wife feel at ease.
Li Fengyi had not visited the leader’s hometown yet and was quite looking forward to it, so he nodded and said.
"Second sister-in-law, I heard about the house construction at home. I wanted to send some money back, but my eldest brother and sister-in-law said they didn't want anything."
Yang Niannian felt that her brother and sister-in-law were right not to ask for money. It made no sense for her married sister-in-law to pay for her brother to build a house.
"It's enough that you have this thought. I have already given them money to build a house. My elder brother and his wife are both honest people. They are not the kind of people who are ungrateful. They will definitely not accept it."
She glanced at him sideways and continued, "If you and Ruoling want to settle down here in the future, renting a house all the time is not a solution. You still have to buy a house. I heard that the house on South Ring Road has been taken over. It will be put on the market in the spring of next year. I will buy you one then."
Li Fengyi was flattered and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Sister-in-law, this won't work. You and Brother have helped us so much. I can't take your house anymore. Ruoling and I have some money saved. We can borrow some money from the bank later."
Yang Niannian really wanted to give the house and was not just talking, so she tried to persuade him.
"If you work in a state-owned enterprise, they will give you a house. Don't think too much! This is what you deserve for your hard work. The factory depends on you to run it. You are my right-hand man. You can take this house. If you refuse, it will be too polite. Don't worry about anything. I have discussed it with your second brother and he agrees."
Running the two factories together, by the 1990s, she could earn at least tens of millions. She now owns many properties, with total assets exceeding 100 million.
Now that she has money, her life has become better. She cannot let the people who help her make money live a hardship life.
If life is good, management will not have any evil thoughts and start a new business.
In short, we must not let down the people who work hard for her.
Li Fengyi was so moved that he didn't know what to say and choked up.
"Second sister-in-law, thanks to you and second brother, otherwise my life would be ruined. I wouldn't be able to have a complete family like I do now."
If it weren't for his second brother and his wife, he would have no chance to marry Ruoling. After his leg injury, no one would be willing to marry him. He wouldn't have both a son and a daughter like he does now, and it would be even more impossible for him to achieve his current success.
It was his second sister-in-law and second brother who gave him everything, and he will remember this kindness for the rest of his life.
Yang Niannian couldn't stand the overly sentimental atmosphere and spoke in a light tone.
"We are all family, so don't be so polite." The two of them soon arrived at the factory gate, and she changed the subject, "You go ahead and do your work! I'll do the accounts."
After saying that, he went straight to the office and was busy there until after three o'clock. He then went to see Lu Ruoling and talked about going back to his hometown for the New Year again.
Lu Ruoling hasn't gone out for a long time because of her confinement. She originally wanted to stay in confinement for a month, but Li Fengyi insisted that she stay in confinement for a longer period of time. Plus, the weather has been cold recently, so she hasn't gone out yet.
I was very happy to hear that you were going back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you the same as the worm in my heart? I was thinking of bringing Feng Yi and the children back to visit during the Chinese New Year. Feng Yi has never been to our house."
Yang Niannian smiled and said, "That's settled then. Let's go back during the Chinese New Year. The house has been renovated and we'll have a place to live when we go back."
Lu Ruoling said with sparkling eyes.
"Does my second brother have time to go back? He hasn't been back home for the New Year since he joined the army."
