Yun Ningyan smiled and wiped away Li Xiangyun's tears, gently comforting her.
"Mom, we're going to the city. There's something going on at the factory. I forgot to tell you before we left."
"Next time we'll definitely tell you in advance so you won't worry."
Huo Junshan quickly admitted his mistake: "Mother, we'll tell you everything when we go out in the future."
"Things are a bit special today, that's why we took a detour."
Huo Changgen patted Li Xiangyun on the back: "Alright, the children have admitted their mistakes. You go and get the food ready."
Li Xiangyun was on edge!
It's good for her to vent.
Huo Junshan took the child from her: "Mom, we haven't eaten all day, we've been busy all day, I'm starving!"
Only then did Li Xiangyun go and cook for the two of them.
When the two of them returned, everyone in the courtyard naturally knew.
Huo Jianguo also came out and asked, "Third brother, is everything alright?"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "It's nothing, go and get some rest!"
Huo Jianguo was also extremely anxious and scratching his head.
Niu Cuicui started scolding him as soon as she got into bed.
They cursed him for no reason.
He had no idea what he had done to offend her.
He was just inside trying to calm people down and explain what had happened!
Without hearing any noise, they came out.
Huo Junshan waved his hand: "Brother, we're fine. You should go and rest! We'll be back in a bit."
Huo Jianguo then went back to rest.
Huo Jiandang and Huo Jianshe also came over and said a few words before going back to their room to rest.
Li Xiangyun cooked two bowls of hot egg noodles in the kitchen.
She called into the house, "Third brother, Ningning, dinner's ready! Come and eat!"
Yun Ningyan had no choice but to put the child on the kang (a heated brick bed) and let Huo Changgen watch over him.
Li Xiangyun specially poached two eggs in the bowl.
Sprinkle with tender green scallions and sesame oil, and it smells amazing.
The two of them each ate a bowl of hot egg noodles, and then took the child back to rest.
The next day, the two of them did not go to the city. Huo Junshan got up early and went to the cannery.
The cannery is doing very well and its business has remained stable.
But with the wheat harvest season fast approaching, the factory has been working overtime these past few days.
They now have a stable customer base that orders goods every month.
But the wheat in the field can't be ignored.
When it's time to harvest the wheat, the factory closes for the holidays, but customers still need to order and the goods must be delivered.
Huo Junshan glanced at the accounts recorded by Accountant Yang.
Check again to see if the production order is still the same.
The two of them would secretly add spiritual spring water to the large vat almost every day.
Last time I went to the city for a few days, I gave Huo Jianguo the Lingquan water in advance so he could secretly add it.
Huo Jianguo didn't know what it was; it looked similar to plain water.
Huo Junshan would always say, "It's a secret recipe. Just do as I say."
Huo Jianguo did exactly what he was told.
That evening, the brigade leader notified the commune members to attend a meeting at the brigade headquarters.
The wheat harvest will officially begin tomorrow.
It's not like it could rain any day, it could just start raining anytime soon.
We must start harvesting wheat as quickly as possible.
The factory announced a holiday.
The commune members were very happy; things were much better now, as they had been quite worried.
If the factory doesn't give employees holidays, will they run out of food rations?
That's great, I've earned money and work points too.
The next day, the familiar whistle blew.
Although Huo Junshan is now the factory director, he still has to work in the fields.
They had already agreed beforehand that his mother wouldn't be going to work this year.
Huo Junshan got up early and went to the front.
Li Xiangyun had already gotten up to prepare a meal.
"Third brother, what brings you here?"
"Mom, please don't go to work. The children at home need someone to take care of them, and Yanyan can't be left alone."
Li Xiangyun: "I was just thinking of asking your sister-in-law to help take care of things."
"Little Tiger and Daya are all grown up now, just keep an eye on them."
"This is our family's food supply."
"If I don't go, we won't have enough to eat in winter, what will we do?"
Huo Junshan laughed. He was now the manager of two factories, and his mother was still worried about not having enough to eat in the winter.
"Mom, will we ever go hungry again? Is the child more important, or are work points more important!"
Li Xiangyun nodded: "Okay then! I'll be at home, so during the time I'm at work, you can come over for meals, don't cook separately."
Huo Junshan nodded.
"Then I'll be going. Yanyan hasn't woken up yet."
"Here's the key. Go over there after you've eaten."
Huo Junshan, Huo Jianguo, and a few others went to work in the fields.
The team leader said a few words of encouragement on the edge of the field, and then the annual wheat harvest began.
Three people were missing this time during the wheat harvest.
It was Ji Boyu, Qian Dazhi, and Liu Liguo.
The three of them left a few days after Zhao Weiguo's incident came to light.
As for how they got there, even the captain didn't know.
Besides Yun Ningyan, Niu Cuicui, Zhang Hongying, and Meng Zhenzhen, who were not at work in the brigade.
Everyone else went to work.
Zhang Hongmei also went.
She went with her child.
Although her and her child's treatment improved a bit after the last meeting.
Both of them were able to eat their fill, but she was still beaten at the drop of a hat.
The child is still very thin, and now that he wears less clothing, he is easily visible.
The ribs covering the entire back.
Looking at the pitiful person.
Several aunties and older women couldn't help but shake their heads as they watched her with the child.
