He Yuhan also took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) for the group. With meat to eat and a little wine to drink, it would be even more pleasant.
He Zhenhua and Gu Qishen had both lost a lot of weight recently, and they were definitely lacking in nutrients. It was truly a relief that they were able to improve their diet this time. Neither of them stood on ceremony and started eating right away.
The three men all had large appetites. He Yuhan was full after eating one bowl of rice, and the rest was devoured by the three men, leaving not a single dish. A bottle of wine was nothing to the three of them, and of course, it was also finished.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the group sat in the living room and chatted.
He Zhenhua sat on the sofa, rubbing his belly, and said, "How wonderful it would be if every day were like this."
Gu Qishen laughed and said, "If we eat meat every day, I guarantee that someone will come knocking on our door in no time. Someone will accuse us of being too indulgent, and it might even involve financial issues. Even if we explain ourselves clearly, it won't be good for us."
He Zhenhua sighed and said, "When we came back, we saw people peeking around our door. They must have smelled the aroma. Sigh, I wish we could eat meat without having to sneak around."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry, our lives will definitely get better and better. What you said will come true sooner or later. Maybe you'll even get tired of eating meat in the future."
He Zhenhua said, "Even meat gets boring eventually. Those days must be really good. I wonder if I'll ever live to see that."
Knowing that her older brother wouldn't believe her even if she told him, He Yuhan changed the subject, saying, "Big brother, I've prepared some food for you. There are several pots of freshly steamed meat buns in the kitchen; you can just heat them up when you want to eat. I also fried some meat sauce and chili sauce for you; they're in the kitchen in jars."
There's some cured meat in the kitchen; it can be stored for a while. I've put some food in the cupboard in the second bedroom, so you and Brother Gu don't need to skimp; eat as much as you want. I don't want to see you both thinner next time I come."
Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua quickly went to the kitchen and the second bedroom to check. With so much delicious food, he and Gu Qishen would have a much better time in the future.
He Zhenhua thought to himself that he was lucky to have such a capable and caring younger sister; one sister was worth more than many others. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt.
Gu Qishen said, "Yuhan, you don't need to prepare too much food for us. There are so many children and elderly people at home; they need nutrition more than we do. You should take it back to them."
Besides, we won't go hungry even if we eat in the cafeteria.
He Yuhan waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about the children and the elderly at home. Yi Ge and I are here. You know I have connections in this area, so this little bit of food is nothing. Health is the foundation of everything, so we all need to take good care of ourselves."
Han Yixian said, "I'll come in a couple of days to complete the final procedures for building the new factory, and then the project can begin. I'd like to talk to the construction company first to confirm the number of workers and the construction schedule, among other things."
Gu Qishen said, "That's no problem, I've already made arrangements, it just depends on your schedule. It's quite remarkable that Qianyuan County was able to secure this project, so the county attaches great importance to it. Although this pharmaceutical factory isn't directly under the county's jurisdiction, it will at least provide some employment opportunities for the county, not to mention tax revenue."
Qianyuan County has few businesses, and its tax revenue is pitifully low. If a pharmaceutical factory were built, Qianyuan County's tax revenue would increase significantly, and its finances would be much better.
Han Yixian said, "You can rest assured. As soon as the pharmaceutical factory starts production, we will launch new drugs very quickly. We can even produce some of the more in-demand drugs from abroad."
Given enough time, I dare say that this pharmaceutical factory in Qianyuan County will definitely become the largest factory in the county. It will be a golden goose, laying countless eggs. Exporting and earning foreign exchange will be a given. With further development of related industrial chains, Qianyuan County's economy will surely improve significantly, and perhaps it can even shake off poverty.”
Gu Qishen smiled and said, "Then we'll be waiting for you to achieve great results."
He Yuhan said, "When Brother Yi gets busy, I'd like to stay with you, Big Brother. That way I can take care of you. I'd also like to bring Huayang and Haobo along; the kids miss you, so I'd like them to stay with you for a while."
He Zhenhua said happily, "That's great. I also want Haobo to live with me, but the child is still too young, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of him. With you here, I won't worry. Haobo would prefer to live with you."
Gu Qishen said, "I can take care of Huayang myself when he's a little older. I can't keep causing you trouble."
Han Yixian said, "Don't talk about trouble. Both children are very sensible, and the elders are happy with them. They can't even eat properly with you. Let's think about picking up the children again when you've learned how to cook."
He Yuhan said, "That's right, the children will get thin from hunger if they stay with you for just a few days. I'm worried about that. Once the pharmaceutical factory is built, the two children can live with us in the county, and you'll be able to see them more often. That's better for the children too."
Gu Qishen asked, "Once the new factory is built, are you planning to live in the factory dormitory or find your own housing?"
Han Yixian said, "Of course, I'll find my own place. Living in the factory dormitory is too chaotic with all the family squabbles, and you have to be extra careful about what you eat at home, it's too much trouble."
It would be better to find a house with its own yard and a private entrance; at least it would be quieter. Besides, dormitories definitely won't be spacious, and we're not short of money, so buying a house would be ideal; we'd be more comfortable living there.
Gu Qishen said, "I also think it's better to buy your own house. It would be good if it were close to the factory. I'll look for a house for you first, and we'll buy it when we find a suitable one, so we can prepare in advance."
Actually, I'd like to buy my own house; it's too noisy here. People here like to visit each other, and once we get to know each other better, even more people will come over, which I don't like.
He Zhenhua said, "I don't like it either. If that's the case, it's better to buy our own house. I think we should buy one together. Or, Qi Shen, we can live together and just buy a courtyard house."
Gu Qishen said, "We really do have to live together. There are regulations in Qianyuan County that generally, if there are only a few people in a large courtyard, it is not allowed to have only one family living there. This is also to save resources."
We're both single, and people are already gossiping about us living in this two-bedroom apartment. With housing so tight these days, people say it's a waste that we each have a two-bedroom. We should set a good example, so it would be best if we gave up this apartment. If we bought our own place, no one would say anything.
Actually, this regulation exists not only here, but also in some other parts of City C, also in order to save resources.
