Before the bugle sounded for reveille, Shen Annian noticed that the people around him had moved.
I opened my eyes with difficulty and saw in the dim light that Qin Zhengqi had already put on his clothes.
She sat up and asked, "Are you leaving now?"
"yes."
Qin Zhengqi reached out his hand and tidied up the loose hair that fell on her face. "I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself and our child."
Shen Annian felt a little sour in his heart.
Ever since she gave birth to the child, she found herself particularly attached to Qin Zhengqi.
Afraid that he would notice something, she lowered her head and hummed softly.
How could Qin Zhengqi not see her sadness? He rubbed her head.
"Wife, wait for me to come back."
"I will take good care of the house, you don't have to worry, just focus on your task and don't think about the house."
Qin Zhengqi pinched her chin, bent down, and kissed her on the lips, "I'm leaving."
After he left, the child seemed to sense something and started crying loudly.
Qin Zhengqi paused at the gate of the courtyard, looked back, turned around quickly, and walked forward without hesitation.
Shen Anyian picked up Lele and patted Kang Kang, who was making a fuss, with his other hand, "Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy will be back soon."
With her mother's comfort, Lele's crying gradually became quieter, and Kang Kang also calmed down.
Shen An Nian coaxed the two children, put them back to bed, and took a nap herself.
When she woke up, the child was nowhere to be seen. She guessed that Qin's mother had taken the child away.
She walked out of the room and saw General Ye and Yang Xiuhua holding the child.
Shen Anyian went to the kitchen to wash up, and told Sister Lin by the way, "Sister Lin, Qin Zhengqi is on a mission, so you don't need to prepare his meal today."
"Oh, I see."
Mother Qin asked in surprise, "Zhengqi is on a mission. What is he doing? How long will he be gone?"
Shen Annian shook his head, "I'm not very clear either. He can't tell me about the military affairs."
Mother Qin couldn't help but sigh. She couldn't even tell where she was, like a thief.
Whenever he goes out on a mission, his whole family becomes worried.
Even though she was worried, she still had to persuade Shen Annian, "Zheng Qi will definitely be fine, don't worry."
"Mom, I'm not worried. He promised me that he would come back safely."
Mother Qin looked at her and felt very relieved.
Being a military wife is so hard, but fortunately my daughter-in-law is sensible.
After Shen Annian had breakfast, he went to the winery.
Xue Dingxiang told her a good news. Today, Director Fang told her a good news that Gu Fan wanted to order 10,000 kilograms of wine.
This is naturally a good thing. The only bad thing is that they only have 4,000 kilograms of wine in stock, which is far from the amount he ordered.
Shen Annian knew that the Su Kingdom had a great demand for wine, so he asked them to brew wine earlier.
But wine fermentation takes time, and it can’t be made just because you want to.
“Let’s do it first and see how much difference there is by then.
I'll talk to Director Fang and have him negotiate with them to see if there's a solution."
Xue Dingxiang never expected that there would be a day when money would be in front of her but they would not be able to earn it, which made her heartbroken.
"We do have some lees in our cellar, but they haven't been in the cellar long enough to make wine."
Seeing her painful expression, Shen An Nian smiled and said, "We have now opened up a channel for cooperation. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. There is no need to rush at this moment."
"That's what I said, but it still hurts to have money but not be able to earn it."
Someone came running over and said that the sorghum they had bought had arrived and asked them to go and inspect the goods.
Xue Dingxiang couldn't chat with her anymore, so she said something and hurried off to check the goods.
Shen Annian took a tour of the winery and found that everyone was very motivated, which was great.
She went around the garment factory again.
The people she contacted came from the county town one after another. More than twenty or thirty people came in the morning, but Qi Feiyue was not there.
I guess Xiang Ru hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet, so he hasn't come yet.
Director Fang gathered everyone together, took out the drawings that Shen Annian had given him before, and asked them to make shoe patterns according to the drawings.
Because the machines had not yet entered the factory, the amount of leather produced by hand was not too much, just enough. Each person only needed to make a pair of shoes to show off their skills.
Those skilled craftsmen only need to take a look at the drawings to know roughly what to do.
Those who were less skilled scratched their heads and ears and did not move for a long time.
Everyone takes this interview very seriously, so there's a lot of pressure.
In addition, this was a military factory, which made everyone even more nervous.
Seeing how nervous they were, Shen An Nian said to them, “Don’t be so nervous, the main reason I asked you to come here this time is to see your skills.
If there is anything you don't understand, you can discuss it with others, it's okay."
After she said this, the originally tense atmosphere gradually relaxed, and everyone discussed with each other and gradually came up with a clue.
After the interview, Director Fang and Shen Annian had a general understanding of their craftsmanship.
An old shoemaker with outstanding craftsmanship can make a pair of shoes in about seven or eight hours.
Although some people are not as good, you can still tell that they have some skills, but they are not that proficient.
After all, when Shen An Nian went to visit, he had already told people that this was for the army.
Those who don’t have the real stuff don’t dare to come and fool them.
Therefore, Director Fang approved all these batches of people. Five of the masters received the salary of a sixth-level worker, and the worst one could get the salary of a second-level worker, which was 38 yuan.
