The long-awaited autumn rain finally arrived, but even a drizzle could not extinguish people's passion.
Working in the rain, the blast furnace is still burning fiercely.
After this drizzle, everyone moved God and finally produced a more or less finished product.
Nowadays, everyone no longer cares about being first, they just want to do their best.
What a pity... What a pity...
After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the earthen blast furnace went on strike. Looking at people's disappointed and tearful faces, Zhou Jiao couldn't describe her feelings.
Master Cui began to walk around the blast furnace for a long time, and finally he concluded that the furnace needed to be repaired.
The furnace needed repairs, so Master Cui and his team began to work tirelessly around the furnace day and night. Most people also began adjusting their working hours.
All of a sudden, life returned to normal, working during the day and resting at night.
Ten days and a half months later, the blast furnace began to burn again. A few days later, the strike started again. Another repair... and then work resumed.
"The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted."
With repeated revisions, everyone gradually began to slack off.
One weekend, Zhao Chuangguang and his wife came to the county town again.
Zhou Jiao heard the sound of a car and ran out the door, shouting in surprise, "Godfather and Godmother, why are you here? I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until next weekend at the earliest."
Huang Huimin scolded with a smile: "You little heartless girl, you don't even come home to see your godmother. If you don't come, I have no choice but to come to see you, after all, you are my daughter."
"Wife, let's go into the house first. Jiaojiao, where are Xiaowu and the children?" After saying that, Zhao Chuangguang picked up a pile of bags and walked inside.
Zhou Jiao took Huang Lijuan's arm and said with a smile, "Brother is taking Ping An to the cafeteria to get food. He will be back soon. You haven't eaten yet, right? It's a good opportunity for us to eat together."
"No, we ate here. Are you tired from working? How's the food on the street? Your dad was worried that you weren't telling the truth in your letter, so he called me a few days ago. He told you to come home early if you're fine."
Entering the living room, Zhou Jiao poured two cups of tea and handed them to them, smiling and saying, "I really didn't do any work. Look at my hands."
Zhao Chuangguang and his wife looked at her outstretched hands and smiled.
Zhao Chuangguang smiled and said, "I told him about this on the phone. Your dad's still worried, so I think you should take some photos and send them to him so he can see them. Will the cafeteria still have tortillas and sweet potato porridge?"
"Sometimes we have rice, which is not bad. Godfather, you and Godmother, won't bring cakes this time? Leave them for my older brother and younger brother. They are still growing, so don't deprive them of it."
Huang Huimin rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't worry. Your two brothers have plenty to eat. Here, there are some cakes in there that they collected for you."
"Oh, godmother, remember to tell them when you go back that I'm so touched. Let them eat it themselves and don't bring anything here next time. You and godfather, look at my face. Isn't it good? Actually, I'm doing pretty well. Really! I'm not lying to you. Look, besides you, my parents, my aunt, and my younger aunt have never stopped sending me packages."
Zhao Chuangguang looked at her with a smile. He knew the child was well-fed. But after not seeing her for a while, he and his wife were worried.
After a while, Zhang Guoqing returned home holding his son and carrying a bamboo basket.
When I saw Zhao Chuangguang and the others, I was so happy.
"Godfather, how long have you and godmother been here? If I had known earlier, I would have come back sooner."
Zhao Chuangguang took the child and said with a smile, "I just arrived and haven't even warmed up my seat yet. Your father-in-law urged me to come and find out the truth. He's worried that you lied to him in the letter."
"Has the child eaten? You two should eat quickly, otherwise it will be bad if it gets cold."
Zhang Guoqing and his wife ate a little. As for his son, since there were people around, Zhang Guoqing made a cup of milk powder and fed him a few mouthfuls of rice to fill his stomach.
When Zhao Chuangguang and his wife looked at the two different meals, they knew that the conditions in the street canteen were not as good as those in their workplace.
They didn't say anything more, as this was a fact that could not be changed. Now they could only come over frequently to bring some food to satisfy the children's cravings.
After dinner, Zhao Chuangguang left his wife to accompany Zhou Jiao and her son. He took Zhang Guoqing to the study.
In the study, Zhao Chuangguang whispered, "Besides being concerned about your work and life, your father also specifically told me two things. He was worried that the letter wasn't detailed enough and you wouldn't take it to heart."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing stared at him and waited for what to say next.
"Have you guessed what?" Zhao Chuangguang saw that he looked calm and suddenly wanted to tease him.
Zhang Guoqing had some idea about one of the things, but he couldn't figure out the other thing. "Lin family? There is one thing I'm not sure about." After saying that, he shook his head.
Zhao Chuangguang smiled and started talking about the matter.
Mr. Lin retired last month. He didn't go to Beihai River this time and still lives in the same courtyard.
Since Zhang Guoqing and his wife returned home, Old Mrs. Lin has been in the nursing home and has not returned to the compound.
Lin Aiguo, the eldest brother of the Lin family, remained under Zhou Xiaozheng and had not been transferred. His daughter, Lin Xuelin, had already gone to the Northwest Corps last month.
Lin Aidang, the second brother of the Lin family, was transferred from his original unit and went to the grassroots level in the northwest with his wife.
His wife Jiang Jiangyu, who was originally imprisoned, finally escaped and saved her life thanks to the relationship between her father and father-in-law.
Zhang Guoqing frowned when he heard this.
"Are you dissatisfied? The culprit, Lin Xuelin, can't escape from our hands. She can't just disappear like that. She still has some use.
Old Man Lin, for his grandson's sake, went all out this time. He and Jiang Jiangyu's father seized on the whistleblower's fault and branded him a criminal. Finally, they demanded Jiang Jiangyu's release, arguing that a criminal's report couldn't be used as evidence.
The two old men used all their tricks, but Jiang Jiangyu was eventually expelled, stripped naked, and followed Lin Laoer to the grassroots. Oh, by the way, he happens to be working under your uncle Wang's old subordinates now.
Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhao Chuangguang's malicious smile and smiled.
To be honest, he didn't care much about the punishment from Lin Lao Er's wife. If he really wanted to kill her, he had plenty of ways to do it. Since his father-in-law had let her life go, then let him do as he pleased.
But why keep Lin Xuelin? He couldn't guess his father-in-law's intentions. But as long as he thought of that scene, he wanted to kill her.
Who was Zhao Chuangguang? How could he not see the murderous glint in Zhang Guoqing's eyes? He sighed secretly. Just as his elder brother had said, Xiaowu was still too impulsive and unstable.
"Xiaowu, remember what your godfather said: Watch your father-in-law act and learn his mindset. Jiaojiao is his biological daughter. Do you see anything unusual in the way he handles the Lin family's affairs?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded. Intellectually, he knew Zhou Xiaozheng was right, but in his heart, he couldn't accept that the man who wanted to kill his wife was still alive.
"There's one more thing. I don't know why he told me to tell you. He told me to tell you two not to wander around."
Zhang Guoqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he laughed, "We used to go out to play quite a bit recently, and Jiaojiao even wrote about how much fun it was. He was probably worried that we were going too far and it wouldn't be safe."
"You really can't run around with the kids. Hey... your dad doesn't know the hunger of the hungry. He goes to the North Sea River every day, and he has no idea that we can't even leave now if we want to play."
Zhang Guoqing laughed heartily. It would be even harder to do it later, let alone now. Zhao Dashan had always dreamed of going fishing, but now he had given up.
Since joining the Dashe, everything has become public and collective property. Who dares to take people fishing without permission? He now avoids people even when going up the mountain, and dares not bring anything down the mountain openly.
Not to mention, his father-in-law had told them not to wander around. Sigh... the county town was still safe.
