Chapter 48: No, No
Zhao Qingsong got divorced, his second divorce. This was explosive news in Lenghe Town and quickly spread throughout the 412 Factory.
For this reason, some people came here specifically, ostensibly to see Qin Jue for medical treatment, but actually to "spy on" the famous figure Zhao Qingsong.
There aren't many divorces to begin with, and even fewer people get married again. What's more, he got divorced by his own doing, so don't you want to take a good look at him?
Zhao Qingsong felt that no matter where he went, there seemed to be many eyes looking at him. At first he thought he would gain sympathy. It would be best if the families of the regiment commanders and political commissars above all sympathized with him and then introduced him to someone better.
result……
Fortunately, he didn't speak out his delusional thoughts, otherwise his family members would have drowned him with their saliva.
He attributed his family's opinions to the fact that women would sympathize with women, but men did not sympathize with him either. Zhao Qingsong was criticized and pressured by his leaders right after his divorce, and was laughed at by his colleagues for several consecutive days. He hid at home for two days, but finally had to go out.
At this time, people noticed that he had become thinner, more withered, and older, as if he had aged ten years. Now if someone said he was forty-five years old, people would definitely believe it.
Qin Ju just took a look at him. She had been very busy recently and was not interested in his affairs. Instead, she admired Liu Baozhu very much. She left in a very elegant manner.
After the divorce, she left Lenghe Town that afternoon with the 1,000 yuan compensation from Zhao Qingsong. She was picked up by a car.
If Qin Ju had half of this kind of courage in his life, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
＊＊＊
Qin Ju found that Doudou was really too rational. Take the matter of giving medicine to a child with a cold, for example. Which child over two years old can take medicine properly?
Just Doudou will do.
Not only did she not cry and struggle like other children, nor did she spit out the medicine, she could also drink it on her own initiative. As long as her mother handed it to her, she would drink it without changing her expression. Then she would slowly take the water her mother handed to her, rinse her mouth, drink a few sips of warm water, and then run out to play as if nothing had happened.
Take the medicine, that's it.
Qin Jue, who hadn't reacted yet, said: "?"
If there was no liquid in the empty cup and no medicine on the ground, she would have doubted her eyes.
Even Qin Pan felt something was wrong when he looked at his little niece. "Third sister, do you think Doudou can't taste anything?"
Qin Ju thought about it and agreed with it. Then, this was a serious matter. She was the daughter of an old Chinese medicine doctor, and her grandmother was the great-granddaughter of a Jiaodong chef. How could she give birth to a child without a sense of taste?
Then, Doudou found that her mother and aunt always chased her and fed her some inexplicable things, such as sour vinegar, sweet rock sugar, bitter melon, and even gave her a small chili pepper...
Help!
How could her mother and aunt be so stupid? Could it be that they couldn't taste the flavors? They actually kept chasing her and asking what these things tasted like?
Disgusting taste! Humph!

On the other side, in the health center, at 5pm, the work at the medicinal field was finished on time, and a group of people returned to the health center with a chattering voice and began to calculate the income with abacus.
Qian Guiying's face was red from the sun, but it did not affect her enthusiasm at all. "Today we have harvested a total of ..." She counted on the abacus.
The Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Company has a special drying room and processing workshop for medicinal materials, so licorice is sold fresh right after it is dug out and can be transported to the branch company that evening without affecting the efficacy of the medicine at all.
"I heard that the dried ones are 30 cents a pound. We can only give 16 cents for the fresh ones. It's already a favor from the head office leaders for our Vice President Qin." Someone whispered.
Everyone looked at Qian Guiying, wanting to see what she had to say.
Everyone knew that she and Deputy Qin were trying to show off their talents. The smart people in the station were all the kind of people who liked to see more excitement and no one mind stirring up trouble. Some even said openly or secretly that Deputy Qin had deliberately assigned her to the most tiring and sunny position, otherwise why wouldn't he have let someone else go there?
Under normal circumstances, Qian Guiying would definitely jump up and say a few unpleasant words, and then everyone would have a good show to watch. If Deputy Qin heard what she was saying, it would be even more exciting.
Unfortunately, Qian Guiying behaved contrary to her usual self today - she did not say bad things about Vice President Qin as they expected.
Someone cornered her and said, "Hey, Sister Guiying, did you hear me?"
"What did you hear?"
My colleagues curled their lips, thinking who is he trying to be so arrogant, he is just scared.
"Hmm." Qin Ju came in from the door and looked at these cunning guys with a smile.
Everyone secretly thought that something was wrong. No one knew how long she had been listening at the door, or whether she heard what they said.
Qin Ju seemed not to notice their expressions. "Sister Guiying, how much did you sell today?"
Qian Guiying quickly took out her account book and said, "Today, we dug two acres of licorice grass and harvested 4,980 kilograms of fresh licorice."
Of course, ordinary licorice does not have such a large yield per acre. However, the one modified by the planting master Zhong Weimin is different. Even after drying, it can still produce about 2,000 kilograms. The yield per acre is almost catching up with the old licorice with a growth cycle of three to four years in many provinces!
Qin Ju nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"Today's sales of licorice totaled 796.8 yuan."
Everyone in the conference room took a deep breath.
"Really...really that many?"
Qian Guiying rolled her eyes and said, "What? You don't trust me, so you decide?"
"No, no, Sister Guiying, we have only dug two acres today, and there are still eight acres to be dug. If we dig all of them, wouldn't it be more than 3,000 yuan?!"
"My God, are more than 3,000 yuan enough for us to distribute among ourselves?"
"Xiao Zhao, pinch me and see if I am dreaming...hiss, I let you pinch me and you really want to kill me!"
Lao Qian laughed heartily, as if all the depression he had felt for so many years had disappeared. "Even if we deduct the planting costs and workers' wages, we will still have at least 2,500 yuan left."
The whole conference room was in an uproar. “Is the director giving us all this money as welfare?”
"How are these benefits distributed? Is it based on workload or length of service?"
"No, it has to be based on job title and rank."
"No, I'm an old man here too. I've been working here for 30 years, but because I can't take exams, I can't get a higher job title. Normally, my salary is lower than yours, but now I get less benefits than you for the same job. I, Old Wang, am the first to be dissatisfied."
"Doctor Wang, you too, may be the foreman, but you often feel pain all over, and it's not us..."
With a "bang", Qin Ju slammed the notebook heavily on the table.
In an instant, the vegetable market turned into a scene of slaughter.
Lao Qian coughed heavily. "As for the specific distribution plan, Vice Qin and I will work out a charter. We will discuss it at the factory meeting and it will be implemented only after the party group agrees. You are thinking about how to eat meat before you have done any work. Use all your abilities..."
The crows and sparrows were silent.
"Besides, we will all be self-sufficient in the future. Do you think it's reasonable to spend every penny we earn? At least we have to set aside enough liquid funds for subsequent expenses."
No one said a word.
Qin Ju and Lao Qian looked at each other and immediately left. They stayed in the conference room until dark and spent several drafts before they finally came up with a rough outline. Qin Pan brought them dinner.
Of course, after they came up with the plan, they did not publicize it right away. They first asked Lao Qian to take the plan to the leader for review and approval. If the rewards were too much, not only would other departments have objections, but even the leader would have opinions. If the rewards were too little, it would dampen the enthusiasm of colleagues. Qin Ju really racked his brains.
When she was having dinner at night, she felt her temples throbbing. She was just an ordinary person, without the strategic planning of the heroine in the novel. She had been a housewife all her life and did not understand business operations or profit distribution. She only knew that if someone was dissatisfied with the announced distribution plan, things would become very difficult.
Now that there is no reform and opening up, they are actually taking a desperate risk by doing this. If someone really wants to make a fuss, all the meat will be spoiled, and maybe even the pot will be smashed.
So the problem is how to take good care of each party so that those who do less will not feel jealous, and those who do more will feel that their efforts are worthwhile.
"I bought these goose eggs in Lenghe Town. Eat more."
Qin Jue had a bitter look on her face. She knew that eggs were high-quality protein and fat, but she couldn't bear to eat them every day!
"Eat more. I heard from the older generation that goose eggs are very nutritious. In the future..." He hesitated to speak.
"Grandma just wants to urge my third sister to give birth to a big fat grandson as soon as possible." Qin Pan said, looking up.
Qin Guihua slapped him with the tip of her chopsticks, "You know shit."
"Grandma is an old feudalist who favors sons over daughters. Whether a boy or a girl is born is determined by chromosomes. It is a random event. It is... oh, grandma hits me again. I am not smart enough to be hit again. I hate it."
Qin Guihua almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Shut your mouth."
Seeing Qin Pan looking aggrieved, Qin Ju felt a little frustrated, so she said bluntly, "Grandma, don't waste your time worrying about this. Doudou is two years old, and I don't want to have another child. Lao He and I have made up our minds that this is the only child we will have in this life, and I will only love her."
As for her obsession with having a male child, the old lady has been obsessed with it all her life. She not only said it, but also thought so in her heart. But towards Doubao, she didn't feel that she should be deprived of food and clothes just because she was a girl. Even Qin Ju could feel the love and pampering from her heart, and she wished she could carry Doubao with her wherever she went.
Take last winter for example. The kang at home broke down and it was extremely cold. She would put Doudou’s little feet in her arms to keep them warm until dawn.
Normally everyone eats coarse grains, except Doudou who can eat fine grains. She takes turns making small steamed buns, spinach noodles, and Huaer's dishes. Every meal is either eggs, goose eggs, or big bones. The bones are cracked and the marrow oil is sucked out to feed Doudou. Not to mention if there is anything good at home, Doudou always eats first. Only when she has left over will Qin Jue, Lao He, and Qin Pan have their turn. Grandma can basically not eat a single bite.
Grandma loves Doudou.
"I don't love you, I don't love anyone." He walked away.
Qin Pan's eyes were red, like a little rabbit, "Third sister, did I make grandma angry?"
"Don't worry about it. We can't get used to this kind of thinking. Let's eat our own food."
"Yes, we can't get used to it. We can't let whoever is older be right, right?" Qin Pan said fiercely after sniffing, "Third sister, do you really want to give up having children?"
"Yeah." Lao He has been sterilized, so he definitely can't have children.
Qin Jue didn't take her grandmother's inexplicable temper to heart at all. She always had to experience a few disappointments before she realized her and Lao He's determination.
But Doudou, who was standing by, saw that grandma seemed angry, so he got up from the ground, chased after her, hugged her thighs and rubbed them hard.
Qin Guihua, who was originally furious, suddenly became incredibly soft-hearted.
