Chapter 149 I'm Bewitched
Zhou Huaiyi and Huang Ling watched them leave.
"When was this discussed? I don't even know." Huang Ling said with a smile.
"It was just now. They can get along well. You don't have to worry." Zhou Huaiyi held her hand.
The two returned home and sat by the brazier in the living room.
When he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhou Huaiyi asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"
"I don't want to go out, I just want to stay home," Huang Ling shook her head. "Winter is the worst. I want to read, but my hands are cold."
"Then put your hands in the quilt, and I will hold the book for you. After you finish reading a page, I will help you turn the page. How about that?" Zhou Huaiyi came up with an idea.
"Director Zhou, you are so kind for no reason."
"What? No! Which book are you looking at? I'll get it." Zhou Huaiyi stood up.
"I don't want to read it anymore. Even if you help me translate it, you can't help me take notes!" Huang Ling grabbed Zhou Huaiyi.
Zhou Huaiyi then sat back down.
Huang Ling looked at him, and he began to speak honestly.
"The one who came today was Siyan's sister-in-law. She asked me for Siyan's house. I have the normal procedures, so don't bother with her. He can't just take it away if he wants."
"I guessed it. You told me before that her brother called you."
"Well, at the time I thought he listened, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect him to ask his wife to come today. You won't be angry, will you?"
Huang Ling shook her head and didn't really make a fuss.
The father of Zhou Huaiyi's late wife, Shen Siyan, had two houses, and he left one for each of his children in a will. As for the house that belonged to Shen Siyan, Shen Siyan also left it to Zhou Huaiyi in a will before her death.
So strictly speaking, this house has nothing to do with Shen Sibo anymore.
When Zhou Huaiyi changed his career, he could choose Shanghai or Suzhou. After careful consideration, he returned to Suzhou. After Shen Siyan passed away, he had no relatives in Shanghai, while his relatives and family were all in Suzhou.
After he returned to Suzhou, the house in Shanghai remained empty.
"Chen Sibo is completely different from his sister. He's not very sensible. To put it bluntly, he can be called a playboy. Siyan didn't say it explicitly, but I know this house is a way out for her brother. She told me to do whatever I can. If it's worth helping, I'll help. If it's not, forget it."
Huang Ling understood and turned out to be a good sister.
"Okay, I see. Then why did you ask him to come to you after the 15th?"
"If he dared to come, he would have come by himself today." Zhou Huaiyi chuckled. It was not the first day he knew his brother-in-law. He knew him very well and was very afraid of him. He would avoid him when he saw him.
Huang Ling had an understanding expression.
"Xiaoling, this matter..."
"Oh, it's up to you to decide this matter. I support you." Huang Ling gave him a reassuring smile.
After a long wait, it was finally dinner time.
Huang Ling said she wanted to eat something light in the evening, so Zhou Huaiyi made some vegetable noodles.
While eating noodles, the two watched the news, talking about the achievements of reform and opening up.
The reform and opening up has entered its second year. Huang Ling's cotton spinning company is a large enterprise, so it is one of the first pilot companies.
Huang Ling watched them follow the same old path as described in history books.
Although production efficiency was improved through some management measures, it was still under the planned economic model, and prices and quantities were determined uniformly by the state, so the efficiency of the cotton mills did not improve fundamentally.
Zhou Huaiyi's machinery factory will be put into operation soon after the New Year, and I believe the result will be similar.
"Nowadays, more and more educated youth are returning to the city, and they all want to find ways to get a job in the factory. There are too many people and too few workstations in the factory, which is also a big problem." Zhou Huaiyi continued his speech, taking advantage of the news topic.
"Well, that's also a problem. We have to make use of people and evaluate key positions. Otherwise, those with ability will be left with nothing to do, while those without ability will occupy important positions, creating a vicious cycle."
"Yeah, that makes sense. However, this job is very difficult and everyone has already developed bad habits."
The topic between the two became more and more formal and serious. Zhou Huaiyi thought this was not right! So he changed the subject:
"We won't have to worry about meat this year. It's available before the Spring Festival. No tickets are needed, just money. The timing of our banquet today is just perfect."
Huang Ling could have gotten the meat originally, but now he could buy it himself, which Zhou Huaiyi felt was even better. Huang Ling had no say in the marriage from beginning to end, and he was very happy.
"Well, it's pretty good. The pigs in the pen sold very quickly this year, and the price is higher than last year. I made a small fortune." Huang Ling was quite proud.
Zhang Meiyu and Zhang Yongcheng made a lot of money, so they gave Xiaoting a big red envelope.
They discussed raising more this year and asked Huang Ling for her opinion.
Huang Ling said she would consider it at the time, and now asked Zhou Huaiyi what he thought.
"You know more about these things than I do. If you ask me, I think it's okay, but the more pigs there are, the more we need to pay attention to disease prevention. When we were in the army, we also raised our own pigs in the camp, and if one pig got sick, the whole litter would get sick."
Huang Ling nodded. This was what she feared most this year. Fortunately, the uncles were very attentive and took good care of the pigs, so they didn't get sick.
And with last year's experience, the average weight of pigs raised this year has increased significantly compared to last year.
"If you are short of money, just tell me." Zhou Huaiyi added.
"Aren't you afraid that I will squander all your money?" Huang Ling joked when she saw how generous he was.
"Oh, I don't know you! I can take your life, but I can't take your money! If you use my money to do business and then tell me you didn't make any money, I won't believe you."
"Hahaha."
"The first time I asked you to buy clothes at Xuanmiao Temple, the one for Huailan, do you remember?"
"Yeah, I remember!"
"You're such a jerk! You sold me a coat and a shirt for 25 bucks, right? I only found out later that your pricing was 15 bucks for the coat and 5 bucks for the shirt, a total of only 20 bucks. You said you sold it to someone else for 30 bucks and gave me a favor of 5 bucks. But then, you..."
"You remembered it wrongly, you must have remembered it wrongly." Huang Ling interrupted him.
"I'm not mistaken! I was completely bewildered at the time! I went back home and thought happily, 'Well, I'm different from everyone else! I got a five-dollar discount!'"
Huang Ling blinked and replied with a stifled laugh, "That must have been because you looked so handsome, and I got so excited that I said the wrong price."
"Impossible! Now that I think about it, that wise look in your eyes wasn't looking at whether I was handsome or not, you were clearly looking at whether I was stupid or not!"
“No, no, no…”
"I later found out about this and thought, 'I can't tell anyone I'm a scout anymore. Even you can't see through me. I can't afford to be embarrassed!'"
Huang Ling smiled brightly at him.
Zhou Huaiyi stood up and said, "I'll go close the gate."
"Oh." Huang Ling was a little nervous.
Her eyes followed Zhou Huaiyi, watching him lock the gate, put out the fire basin, fill the hot water bottle, and spread the quilt...

However, their honeymoon will soon begin and they will travel to Beijing and Guangzhou.
