After all, she is an elderly person, with a soft heart, and she feels sorry for her two grandchildren.
Grandma Liu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"It's pitiful. The eldest is only seventeen or eighteen, and the youngest are still two babies. There's no elderly person to take care of them. How do they manage to get by?"
Wang Xiuhong nudged her husband and said irritably, "Look at Weiguo, he speaks so eloquently at such a young age, and look at you, all you can do is glare at the beads and curse people."
"If you could change your temper, you wouldn't be stuck in this position forever."
Liu Changhe was not about to be convinced. He glared at him and retorted, "I may not be as good as this kid in terms of words and actions, but I've never flinched in the face of gunfire. Can this kid do that?"
"Here we go again. I just mentioned it and you're already glaring at me and cursing. What era are we living in? There's no such thing as a hail of bullets anymore. If you don't change your ways, you'll suffer sooner or later."
"This is how my life is, I can't change it."
Liu Changhe turned his head away angrily, ignoring his wife.
On the other side, He Ye, sitting next to Liu Ye, gently touched Liu Ye's arm and gestured towards Xiao Weiguo with her lips. She then gave Liu Ye a meaningful smile.
This made Liu Ye, who had just calmed down, start to feel anxious again.
After offering three toasts, Xiao Weiguo gestured for everyone to eat, then turned around.
The people at the table started chatting about random things.
Normally, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue are taken care of by Xiao Shanshan during meals, but today their rights have been taken away by Old Mrs. Liu.
She kept picking up dishes from the table and stuffing them into the mouths of the two little ones.
Seeing how much they were enjoying their meal, the old lady's face beamed with joy.
"Oh dear, my dear grandson, eat slowly, don't get your clothes dirty."
"Granddaughter, come here, this is delicious, eat this, ah, open your mouth, Grandma will feed you."
Since her own son was unable to have children, the old lady poured all her hopes and expectations into her two children.
From the moment the old man saw the two children, he regarded them as his lifeblood.
The men sat closest to each other, and while eating and drinking, they started chatting.
He Shaoxin was the first to speak. As a teacher, he tends to consider things more than others.
"Xiao Xiao, Shan Shan and the others start school tomorrow. What are your plans?"
Liu Erzhu frowned and said, "Weiguo, we can't sell the socks anymore. Xiao Changsuo has almost taken all the socks from the workers' hands. What are you planning to do next? We can't just sit here doing nothing, can we?"
Free time?
Xiao Weiguo was not going to sit idle; he had already made plans for the next step.
"Uncle, Uncle, don't worry, I've already made plans and I won't be idle."
Upon hearing this, Liu Changhe came closer.
"Nephew, what are your plans for the future? Tell me, and see if your uncle can help."
These words struck a chord with Xiao Weiguo, who was just waiting for Liu Changhe to make the move.
"Haha, Uncle, you know what, we really need your help with this."
Liu Changhe patted his chest confidently.
"Say it, what's the matter? As long as it doesn't violate any principles, I'll take care of it."
He was very pleased with himself. "Look, even though others say you're so capable, you still can't do without your father, can you?"
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Weiguo immediately said, "Uncle, look at what you're saying. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Don't tell me you wouldn't do something that violates principles, even as your nephew, you can't do such a thing."
Then, he changed the subject.
"However, this goes against family principles. I don't know if you're comfortable with pillow talk?"
One sentence completely baffled Liu Changhe.
"What? Pillow talk? What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Weiguo leaned close to Liu Changhe's ear.
"Uncle, what I'm about to do requires my aunt's approval, so I'll have to rely on you to whisper sweet nothings in her ear."
Liu Changhe looked at his wife with suspicion, noticing that she hadn't noticed the two men's furtive behavior.
He leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
"What's the matter? Can't I make the decision? What can an old woman like you do to help you?"
Xiao Weiguo stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
"Uncle, I'd like to take over Aunt's clothing factory. Can you make that decision?"
Hearing Xiao Weiguo say that, Liu Changhe was startled.
"Kid, are you crazy? That lousy factory of hers is state-owned, it belongs to the country. What you're doing is embezzling state property, do you know that?"
His loud voice drew everyone's attention.
Xiao Weiguo smiled easily.
"Uncle, what you're talking about is all in the past. Now, the government has introduced new regulations, proposing that small state-owned enterprises can actively try leasing and contracting operations."
"Even large and medium-sized enterprises should implement various forms of management responsibility system, expand their management autonomy, and promote the reform of internal mechanisms."
"This regulation has already been piloted nationwide. If you don't believe me, ask my aunt."
Liu Changhe glared at him.
"I don't understand what you mean by responsibility system or management. I only know one thing: things that belong to the state cannot be owned by individuals. This plan of yours will absolutely not work."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhong nudged his shoulder and glared at him.
“If you don’t understand, then speak less. You’re so stubborn all the time. Wei Guo is right. There are indeed such documents that have been distributed to enterprises and units at all levels. It’s just that no one in our county has started to try them yet.”
Xiao Weiguo nodded.
