Upon hearing this, Dongqing felt a surge of joy. His eyes filled with deep love, and he gently wrapped his right arm around his wife's waist, whispering in her ear, "Yuzhu, I love you. You are the love of my life, and you will never leave my side."
As Dong Qing finished speaking, their lips touched again. This moment was like a carefully woven love story, captivating and intoxicating, as if the whole world stood still for their love.
Every breath they took, every heartbeat they shared, and every resonance they felt seemed to converge in the collision of love, with all love merging and coalescing at that moment.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to freeze in each other's breath and heartbeat; they were as if they had fallen into the cradle of love, filled with happiness and harmony.
At this moment, they felt each other's warmth, and the surge and convergence of love were all concentrated in this moment.
At this moment, their eyes were drawn to each other, and their two wounded hearts were deeply united. Their love, though not newlywed, was even more precious to them than to newlyweds. Their love, having endured setbacks, was all the more worthy of their cherishing.
Dong Qing reached out and turned off the bedroom light. The instant the bedroom light disappeared, the moonlight outside the window, like a thief, quietly shone into the bedroom through the window.
Its arrival seemed to be a blessing for the couple's new marriage, and even more so, a witness to their love in their second marriage. All their love converged and condensed at this moment, and their love was like a ray of light in the darkness, radiating an invisible flame of love.
Their ups and downs over the past few months have been like a purgatory of love, refining their love to a purer level.
During their divorce, they felt like they were in hell every day, their bodies and souls burning. But they eventually emerged from their misery, found their way in life, and welcomed a new beginning for their love.
Perhaps because they hadn't slept well the night before, neither of them was able to wake up naturally until dawn. The knocking on the door startled Dongqing awake from his dream.
His wife was still fast asleep in Dong Qing's arms. He pulled his arm, which had gone numb from being pressed down by his wife, and the slight movement woke her up from her dream.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the living room door. Li Yuzhu sat up, glanced at her watch, and said, "How come we two can sleep so much? It must be Third Sister calling us for dinner."
As Li Yuzhu spoke, she got dressed, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom toward the living room door.
As they approached the door and opened it, Dong Sanmei was indeed standing outside. She said, "You and your brother should quickly wash your faces and come eat."
Li Yuzhu said "okay" and turned to walk towards the restroom.
The couple entered their third sister's house, where she had already placed the prepared breakfast on the table.
The food she cooked was very simple: fried dough sticks bought from the street, millet porridge she cooked herself, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts.
The stir-fried mung bean sprouts with winter plums look very appealing; the white bean sprouts, set against the backdrop of red and green chili strips, look incredibly appetizing.
The key to stir-frying mung bean sprouts is controlling the heat. They shouldn't be overcooked. Stir-fry them briefly in a wok over high heat, then drizzle with vinegar. They'll taste sour and crisp, and are absolutely delicious.
Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "My favorite dish is the stir-fried mung bean sprouts with vinegar that my third sister makes."
Dong Sanmei smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll stir-fry mung bean sprouts for you every morning."
In the two years since Li Yuzhu married into the family, she has never argued with her third sister.
In most families, there is conflict between sisters-in-law.
As the older sister, Dong Sanmei and Li Yuzhu are both gentle and kind. Perhaps this is why the two of them never argue. In daily life, Dong Sanmei does indeed show the generosity of an older sister in front of Li Yuzhu.
Whether it's a sister-in-law or a brother-in-law/sister-in-law relationship, there aren't many families where this kind of relationship can be harmonious. Dong Sanmei truly set an example as an older sister, and Li Yuzhu also demonstrated generosity as a younger sister-in-law. It's wonderful that they can get along so well.
After dinner, Dong Sanmei went to work, Dong Qing went to the company to handle some business, and Li Yuzhu waited at home for the family planning office staff from the machinery factory to come over.
Around 8 a.m., a man and a woman from the previous night came to her house and called her. Li Yuzhu went out with them.
Around 9 a.m., Li Yuzhu followed the staff of the family planning office of the machinery factory into the family planning guidance station.
The doctor reinserted the IUD into Li Yuzhu, and only then did the family planning officials from the machinery factory feel relieved and leave.
In the afternoon, Dong Qing and his wife, along with company manager Gu Yurou and several company employees, arrived at the Su Village construction site.
Project Manager Zhang, along with the project leadership team, waited at the construction site entrance. Upon seeing the Yusheng Company team arrive, he stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, "Welcome General Manager Dong to inspect our work."
Dong Qing smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, you've worked hard."
The staff gave each of them a safety helmet to wear, and Dong Qing led the company people to follow Manager Zhang to the construction site.
As they walked into the construction site, the office building had already been raised two stories. Dong Qing said, "Manager Zhang, I don't require your project to be completed quickly, but you must ensure quality control."
Manager Zhang said, "Please rest assured, General Manager, our company's quality is excellent."
Dong Qing suddenly asked, "Where did our company's two supervisors go?"
Manager Zhang said, "They didn't come today."
Dongqing asked, "Don't they come often?"
Manager Zhang replied truthfully, "Yes."
Dong Qing asked, "Manager Gu, are you aware that those two are frequently absent from work? Who is in charge of the site's operations?"
"I don't know, Manager Wang is in charge of the construction site." Xiao Wang is the company's business manager, in charge of the construction project. Gu Yurou turned around and asked, "Manager Wang, did you know that they were both off duty?"
"I don't know, they've never asked me for leave."
Even if Manager Wang had something to hide, that was all he could say. If the two of them didn't come today, he could say they took leave. But how could he continue to lie about not coming to work often?
"You really know how to shirk responsibility. What are you good for? Don't you know anything? You come to the construction site often, don't you notice that they are leaving their posts unattended?"
"If I remember correctly, you were at the construction site this morning, weren't you? Why didn't you report their unexcused absences to me? Why didn't you deal with them?" Gu Yurou paused for a moment and said, "Forget it, you don't need to explain. Go back to the company, settle your wages with finance, and leave. The three of you are fired. You don't need to come with us. You can go back now."
Manager Wang said, "Manager Gu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yurou said, "Wasn't what I just said clear enough? I don't want to hear your explanation."
Manager Wang looked helplessly at Dong Qing, who said, "You see I'm useless. Listen to Manager Gu. Manager Gu has the final say in company matters."
Manager Wang walked out of the construction site with no other option.
After Manager Wang left, they inspected the construction site of the department store wholesale market. Dong Qing asked, "Manager Zhang, when will these projects be completed?"
Manager Zhang said, "The original plan was for a two-year construction period, and it was expected to be completed by August or September of 1987 at the latest."
In Dong Qing's past life memories, at the end of the 87th year of the lunar calendar, prices began to rise sharply across the board. Meat went from a few cents a pound to two yuan a pound, which was very difficult for people to adapt to at the time. Since then, prices have been on an upward trend.
