The advantage of hiring someone to help at home is that it frees up your own labor.
With the help of Aunt Fu, Song Shuxi can take her two children to Cuiyuan City for a stroll this year.
Now, not only she but also her two children are able to protect themselves and can go out without worry.
At 4 a.m., Song Shuxi got up quietly.
Sensing the movement of the person next to him, Wei Jianguo also woke up. He patted her skillfully and whispered, "Lie down for two more minutes. I'll go heat up the stove first."
There was no way Song Shuqian would let him get up and take care of herself. He was already very tired from training.
"No, it's not cold. Just close your eyes and go to sleep. You can still sleep for an hour. We'll leave after we finish packing."
Wei Jianguo was worried and got up too. He asked Song Shuxi to tidy herself up first while he went to wake up the two children.
An An Lele was thinking about going out to play today, so she didn't sleep well and woke up when Wei Jianguo called her.
"Dad? Is it time?" An An was dazed and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
"Yes, hurry up and get up. Mom has gone to wash up."
The two children jumped out of bed, tidied themselves up as quickly as possible, and cleaned up their rooms.
Wei Jianguo had already prepared breakfast for them in the kitchen.
Song Shuqian had just woken up and had no appetite. She was casually breaking the big steamed bun in her hand.
"Eat a few bites and drink some porridge, then eat again when we get to Cuiyuan City." Wei Jianguo handed her a bowl of millet porridge.
After drinking a few sips, Song Shuxi and An An Lele put on their thickest clothes, wore big hats and thick scarves, and wrapped themselves tightly with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Wei Jianguo handed An An and Le Le a flashlight each and said, "Watch the road."
He also took a flashlight and took Song Shuqian by the hand, "Let's go, I'll take you there, Lightning and Moying will follow you today. If there is anything, let them come back and report. I will greet the little soldier on guard."
The double standards are obvious.
Fortunately, An An Le Le has become accustomed to it and accepts it well.
There were already six or seven sisters-in-law standing there waiting for the bus.
Wei Jianguo went over and talked to the two purchasing agents who were driving today, asking them to help look after Song Shuxi and to wait for her in the evening before coming back.
Song Shuxi and An An Lele stood together and patted the two children on the head, "You are almost as tall as your mother."
Lele stood on tiptoe and said, "Mom, we can protect you too," with a tone full of pride.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my son. You'll have to help me carry the things today. When I see something good, I can't help wanting to buy it."
An An said, "Mom, you don't have to control yourself. My brother and I can carry her back. If that doesn't work, we still have Lightning and Mo Ying."
Song Shuxi was so relieved that her whole heart felt like it was soaked in warm water.
Her sons are so nice!
Before she knew it, the two little guys who snuggled in her arms back then had grown up and become 1.3-meter-tall little men.
The car came, Wei Jianguo carried the two children into the car, and helped Song Shuqian get in, "Be careful. Also pay attention to the time, don't miss the bus."
Song Shuqian smiled, "Don't worry, we're leaving now, An An Le Le says goodbye to Dad."
In the car
The sisters-in-law looked at Song Shuqian teasingly, "Xiao Song and Captain Wei have such a good relationship that he even came to see me off before we went into the city."
Song Shuqian quickly begged for mercy, "Sisters-in-law, please stop teasing me. You know, I rarely go to the city unless I have nothing to do. Please share with me if there are any places worth going. The New Year is coming soon, and there are many things to prepare."
These sisters-in-law were just joking and had no ill intentions. After Song Shuxi said this, they followed suit and changed the subject.
Talk about where to buy things.
"I heard there's a department store opening in the new city area. It has a wide variety of products, but it's too far away. It'll take us two hours to get there."
"So far? Aren't they all in Cuiyuan City?"
"Cuiyuan City is very large. We usually go to the old city. There are only three factories here, and they are all small factories. They can't be compared with the new city."
"I heard that a new factory is being built in the new city?"
"No, now we have the steel plant, the rare earth plant, the first machinery plant and the second machinery plant."
"If you ask me, this Cuiyuan City is a really good place. I came here from Mangshi to join the army. There is a textile factory and a match factory in the small town where I come from."
"You're right. There are brick and tile factories, wind turbine factories and coal mines in the county below Cuiyuan City. It's not hard to find a job in this place."
Song Shuqian and An Anlele leaned together and listened to everyone chatting. They don't know this news.
An An asked quietly, "Mom, what does a rare earth factory do?"
"It should be called 8861 Rare Earth Laboratory. Rare earth is a kind of ore. Mom doesn't know its specific chemical properties. I only know that it can be used in many aspects.
Adding rare earth elements during the steelmaking process can refine the grains, remove impurities, and improve the toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the steel.
In the process of oil cracking, rare earth catalysts can improve reaction efficiency and increase the output of light oils such as gasoline.
There are probably other applications as well. This rare earth laboratory studies how to use rare earths. "
Lele became interested, "Mom, can it also be used in weapons research?"
"You need to research this yourself when you grow up. Mommy doesn't understand it at all."
The mother and her two children were chatting in a very low voice, but the bumpy road and loud noise of the car just covered up their voices.
Song Shuqian asked them, "Are you cold? Do you want to take a rest?"
An An Lele leaned on Song Shuqian and said, "Mom, we are not tired or cold, we are just hungry."
"Please bear with it and get off the bus to eat. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant. If they have siu mai, you will be in for a treat."
The mother and her two children continued to listen to other people chatting.
There was a very proud girl who called out to Song Shuqian, "Sister Song, your dog is really well-fed, fat and strong. There are people here who don't have enough to eat. Tsk tsk, you are just busy feeding this beast."
Song Shuqian glanced at him lightly, "Excuse me, who are you? What position do you have to tell me this?"
The sisters-in-law around me all quieted down, their eyes filled with a sense of excitement.
Song Shuqian naturally saw it, and she was helpless. She didn't know if she had been bullied by some villain recently. There were always inexplicable people coming to cause trouble, as annoying as flies.
If you can still go to the temple to pray during the Yong Dynasty, it will bring good luck.
If Tiantian were here, she would say, sister, you have Mercury retrograde.
The girl who was looking for trouble blushed with anger and said in a sharp voice, "Don't you know me?"
As if not knowing her was a big mistake.
Song Shuqian spoke in a flat and lazy tone, as if she didn't care about anything.
"So who are you? What outstanding contributions have you made to our corps? Or what have you done for the family compound? Why should I know you?" His tone was light, as if he said nothing, and yet as if he said everything.
Song Shuqian naturally knew that person. She was Lin Wanjiao, the one who had used trickery to marry into the company when the art troupe came to perform last time, and the one who had found Yang Hongbo.
But she didn't say it.
Of course, when engaging in a verbal battle, you have to take the initiative and let the other party follow your pace. Otherwise you will fall into the self-proving trap, which is very troublesome.
Things turned out pretty much as Song Shuqian had expected. It was obvious that the girl was spoiled at home. She couldn't stand just a few words and started crying.
Most of the sisters-in-law in the family compound are capable of taking on responsibilities and supporting their own families, and they hate people who cry the most.
No one tried to persuade Lin Wanjiao, so they just let her cry.
