Chapter 60 Final Chapter~~
The entire Lenghe Town is undergoing massive infrastructure construction. In addition to the Lenghe Hospital which is currently under construction, there is also a large new residential area at the 412 Factory.
The so-called living area includes not only tube-shaped buildings, but also markets, shops, stations and roads related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. There are even lush green grass and bright red flowers planted on both sides of the road. These are species developed by Liao Zhixian's team to adapt to the water, soil and climate of Lenghe Town, and their survival rate is very high.
After graduating from university, Liao Zhixian was assigned to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, specializing in the cultivation of high-quality crop seedlings. Thanks to his efforts, Lenghe Town applied to become the first plateau experimental base of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so now he not only benefits Lenghe Town, but also works right at his doorstep.
After graduation, He Liansheng continued his studies for a master's degree with the encouragement of Mr. Chen and the support of Qin Ju. He is still separated from his wife and daughter, but he can go home every week, and Qin Ju has no objection.
The main reason is that she is too busy. Even Doubao can only see her for a while at noon and in the evening every day. It’s good for Lao He to come back once a week.
At first, they were worried that Doubao might feel that his parents didn't spend enough time with him and have some thoughts, but later they realized that they were just overthinking it.
Doubao is usually in school, and only comes home for lunch at noon. At this time, the whole family, including her mother, is there, so she will definitely not be lonely. After school, she has her own things to do. She takes her brothers and sisters to do scientific experiments or lead the little rabbits to shuttle through the medicinal fields all over the mountains. She doesn't need an adult to accompany her every day. No matter how busy Qin Ju is, he will check her homework every day, ask her what she did today, and whether she is happy. This girl will be unhappy if you ask too many questions.
Rendoubao is now a grown-up girl with her own ideas, and as parents, they need to learn to withdraw appropriately.
Well, Lao He said this in a very sad and helpless tone.
Qin Ju wanted to laugh whenever he thought of that scene.
"What are you laughing at, Dean Qin?" Zhong Weimin stood up from the medicine field, took off his straw hat and wiped the sweat off his face.
"You laugh at my daughter, who is small but has big ideas."
"Girls are probably all like this. They are well-behaved when they are young, and when they grow up, they have their own world and their own ideas." His daughter was like this before, until the important event of her life, when she fell in love with a military officer on an island and decided to join the army. Over the years, she now has three grandchildren, and she has only returned three times.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law was more sensible than her mother and did not break off her relationship with him back then. In the past few years, she often called and wrote to him, and sent him sweaters and scarves she knitted herself, as well as island specialties... The only drawback of such a thoughtful little girl is that we can't see each other often.
Old Zhong sighed and turned to talk about the Qin family: "Your daughter Doudou is very smart. The plowing machine in the institute broke down the other day and it was she who fixed it. How could such a little girl be so interested in mechanical things?" Several masters failed to fix it, and they even sent people to the neighboring corps to find a mechanical soldier. As a result, the little girl fiddled with it a few times, disassembled a few parts, and put them back together again, and it was ready to use.
The mechanics of the regiment came running over. They saw that the machine was in good condition. Then they saw that it was repaired by a pretty girl who was less than ten years old. They were dumbfounded...
At that time, people looked at Doudou as if they were looking at a giant panda.
Qin Ju remembered that day when everyone gathered around her and asked Dou Dou when he learned to repair machines, but she didn't know. She was even confused about who her daughter looked like.
If you say she is like Lao He, she is more sociable than Lao He. If you say she is like her, she is a poor student who couldn't even graduate from junior high school.
"I think she looks like her aunt."
Qin Ju was stunned. "Qin Pan?"
"Yes, I have met your sister a few times. Your Doudou should be like her, smart and rational, but also warm and affectionate."
Qin Pan graduated from university a long time ago. Because of her excellent grades, she stayed on to teach at the school. Now she is studying for a master's degree without having to leave her job to study. Her family has no objection and even hopes that she can return to Shilan. They feel sorry for her living alone in Beijing at such a young age. The old lady sheds tears every time she thinks of it. She says that if she had known earlier, she would not have trained her to be so outstanding. Her wealth is almost going to be handed over to the country.
Qin Ju was more open-minded. She encouraged Qin Pan not to be disturbed by her grandmother's words, but to pay attention to her own inner thoughts and go wherever she wanted, because she was trapped by her grandmother's side all her life, which was really unfair to her.
This is also the reason why she is keen on spending money to hire famous teachers to coach her and urge her to reach a higher level. Qin Ju is making up for the regrets of her previous life.
The top student was young, and even though she stayed in school, she was still the youngest in the school. When she walked on the street, she was often mistaken for a freshman. Not to mention, there were actually several male classmates who wanted to develop revolutionary friendship with her and make progress together, but in the end, when they found out that she was actually a teacher, they were all shocked.
Qin Pan told this as a joke to his family when he made a phone call. Qin Ju laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. Little Lao Si also has a suitor. Time flies!
Qin Ju herself is actually already over 30 years old. Because of constant running around, her skin is no longer as fair and tender as it was when she was reborn. But she likes herself now. She is healthy, brave, has her own career, and has a lover and children by her side. This is the happiness that she could only dream of in her previous life.
"So, your fourth son doesn't plan to return to Shilan in the future, right?"
Qin Ju smiled bitterly, "I guess so. Recently, their department head is planning to send her abroad to study for a government-sponsored doctorate. I think she is quite tempted. I don't know how many years it will take for her to come back."
Qin Pan was admitted to graduate school last year. She has been busy as a top, studying and teaching at the same time. She will go abroad again after graduation next year. When she comes back, the old lady will really chase her to find a partner and get married.
Zhong Weimin smiled and praised a few words, "It's good to be a government-sponsored doctoral student. In the future, they will be the pillars of the country."
Qin Jue subconsciously straightened his chest, feeling proud.
She never worried that Qin Pan would go abroad and never come back like some other government-sponsored students, because she knew that this girl not only had great ideals in her heart, but also had a country, a home, and relatives.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Qin Qi hurried home, and stopped by the factory gate to take a look at the construction site. Recently, the Qin family has been busy. After Ailan resigned from the canteen last month, she has been busy opening a hotel.
A number of new shops were built in front of the factory gate. The factory rented out the shops at extremely low prices to employees and their families. Qin Ju told Ai Lan as soon as she got the news. She started writing an application and rented a shop in a good location, planning to open a restaurant. She has been busy with the renovation recently.
Qin Ailan, who is almost forty years old, still cannot conceal the plumpness and charm of a mature woman even though she is wearing old clothes and a headscarf. At this moment, she is wearing a safety helmet and talking to the people in the decoration team. It seems that she has her own ideas about some details. She didn't even notice Qin Jue walking past.
"Hey, Third Brother, you scared me. How come you have time to come here today?"
"Come and see our boss Qin on the way."
Ailan hit her, "Where are you going? You are still making fun of your elder sister."
Liao Zhixian's job provides him with various allowances, and he only needs to send some living expenses to his parents in Haicheng every month. Ailan often helps the leaders' families cook banquets in addition to her normal salary, and she also earns a lot of extra money. She only has one 8-pound baby, and she is very well off. She has money and is willing to spend it, so she chooses high-end decoration, which makes her stand out from the crowd.
Qin Ju looked around twice and was very pleased. "Have you decided on a date?"
"The first of next month is National Day."
"Have you decided on a name?"
"Your eldest brother-in-law said that calling me by my name can be considered a signboard."
Qin Ju repeated "Ai Lan Hotel" twice. It sounded really nice, just like her elder sister, simple, hardworking, and unknown. But when you look back, you can smell her fragrance.
"By the way, I heard that your second sister is no longer working in the medicine field. I was just thinking of going back to ask grandma later, are these two people up to something again?"
Qin Ju laughed, "You really wronged my second sister this time."
It turned out that since the construction of Lenghe Hospital was nearing completion, Niu Dagang's work of running around with Qin Ju was also about to end. He happened to hear that an agricultural and trade market was going to be built in the town. This was not a state-owned market. Only the venue was provided by the state, and any private individual could compete and sell things there, so he was tempted.
"In addition, my second sister has been helping grandma grow vegetables and sell them on her own land for the past two years. She also helps other old ladies to sell a few kilograms of vegetables from time to time. At first, she was just helping out, but later she started to sell them herself. She has accumulated a certain amount of supply, so they want to rent a stall in the farmers' market and sell the vegetables themselves."
"My second brother-in-law often drinks with people, knows a lot of people, and can kill pigs. My second sister asked him to rent two stalls, one to sell vegetables and the other to kill pigs and sell meat."
Ailan's frown gradually relaxed. "That's not bad."
In the past two years, state-owned vegetable markets have declined, and most consumers have concentrated on the black market. The local government has also followed suit and set up agricultural and trade markets. As long as the agricultural and sideline products pass the inspection, they can be sold there. They only need to pay some stall fees and taxes every day. If they can rent a fixed stall, that would be a good way to go.
After all, everyone needs to eat meat and vegetables.
This is people’s livelihood and a basic need.
Youdi came to Qin Jue for help with this matter. Qin Jue had already found a way for her. They would have to go to the town government to draw lots in two days. So the couple no longer had to go to work and were busy buying pigs and harvesting vegetables.
Not to mention, after finding their respective areas of expertise, they became more and more energetic and no longer caused any trouble at home.
Ailan took off her helmet and walked home with Qin Ju, talking about Zhao Qingsong, the latest celebrity in the family district.
After Zhao Qingsong divorced Liu Baozhu, he had been waiting for her to regret her marriage and come back to beg him. But who knew that Liu Baozhu went directly to Guangzhou in the south with her new partner and started a business there. It was said that she bought a small house and drove a Santana not long after. Recently, she went directly to Hong Kong and went abroad!
Seeing that he could not wait for her to regret it, Zhao Qingsong gave up and prepared to remarry.
However, he thought he was still popular, but in the eyes of normal people, he was just an old man over 40 years old with a pair of problematic children, who had a vasectomy and was completely infertile. Which daughter of a respectable family would be interested in him?
With these conditions, he dared to ask for a virgin girl under 28 years old. The matchmakers in the town were annoyed by him and spread the news that he was reckless and had no self-awareness. So he simply went back to his hometown to look for one, and he actually found one in a village near another city in the southern part of the province.
"Back home, Baozhu was quite kind and didn't say anything bad about him. Only a few people knew about his sterilization. This time, I heard from Aunt Lifen that his new wife didn't know about his sterilization either." Ailan gossiped in a low voice. She would contact the villagers from time to time, so she knew about these things.
Mainly, the villagers knew that the three sisters were living a good life in Lenghe Town and were planning to come over to live with them. They would call her whenever they had time to reminisce about the past.
But Youdi and Qin Jue, who were very aggressive, knew that they would not get any good results.
"The new daughter-in-law is pretty, just 27 years old, and is good at managing household chores. She is good at both housework and outside the home."
Qin Ju thought to herself: This thief is really getting a good deal.
"But a few days ago, Zhao Qingsong brought Haiyang Haiyan back to his hometown to get married. Guess what?"
"What?"
"That so-called 'virgin lady' actually already has three sons. The key is that three sons have three fathers. If the people of Wuli Village hadn't discovered it when the bride was picked up, no one would have known about it!"
Qin Ju: “…”
It turned out that he wanted to find an older girl and kept the sterilization a secret. She didn't care at all because she already had three sons! No wonder she agreed so readily when we talked about getting married. She also urged us to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible and come to Lenghe Town to live together before the New Year. She even arranged everything for our future life!
"But the marriage certificate has been issued, the wedding has been held, and the woman is not someone to be trifled with. She said that if he doesn't help take care of the three sons, she will come to the workplace to make trouble, accuse him of marriage fraud, and make him lose his job. The Zhao family is definitely not happy to see this money tree fall, so they can only beg her to calm down and force Zhao Qingsong to recognize the three sons."
Qin Ju couldn't help laughing out loud. What kind of thing is this? He was thinking about others helping him raise a child. Coincidentally, others thought the same way.
"Zhao's aunt cried for several days, saying that the Zhao family suffered a loss because they only had one boy, Haiyang, while the other family had three."
Qin Ju could imagine the grief-stricken look on Old Mrs. Zhao's face, and she also felt amused. By the time the Zhao family came back, the three of them would become seven, and it would be lively again!
*
Youdi and her husband opened their stall half a month before the National Day. The Qin family secretly went to "investigate" several times. Most of the time, only Youdi was guarding the stall, either picking and tying vegetables or peeling potatoes and edamame. Her hands were basically busy, and her mouth was the same, chatting with the vendors in the neighborhood. Niu Dagang was mainly responsible for buying and slaughtering pigs and picking vegetables. He had to get up at 1:30 every night to work and had to deliver fresh meat and vegetables to the market before dawn. After delivering them, he could go home to sleep and sleep until the afternoon to start the next cycle.
Not to mention, Qin Ju looks tired. She will definitely go crazy if she keeps sleeping all day and night and doesn’t get enough sleep for a long time. But Niu Dagang is different. He liked this kind of life when he was in the village. Now he can count money every day when he wakes up. He is almost enjoying this kind of life to death!
Qin Guihua simply took Shanyong to her side and had him live and eat with Doubao and Xiao Bajin. She had nothing to do anyway and she was still in good health, so she wasn't tired from eating three meals a day.
Look, Qin Jue just came back from the opening ceremony of Ailan's hotel, and the three children are eating big white steamed buns.
"mother!"
"Third Aunt!"
"Good boy! Today is National Day, do you guys have a day off?"
"It's half a day off, so we don't have to go in the afternoon." Shan Yong answered quickly, and then quickly broke off half of the steamed bun and gave it to his third aunt.
Qin Ju smiled and said, "Okay, then stay home and do your homework. You can go out to play only after you finish it. Doubao will supervise your older brother and younger brother."
"Okay!"
Doubao's homework usually takes 10 to 20 minutes to finish. Qin Ju no longer has the ability to help her check it, after all, she is in the first grade of junior high school this year. Every day, Lao He comes back from the laboratory to help check it, but there is nothing to see, because she can write it correctly.
"After finishing my homework, I have to go back to help my dad." Shanyong said in a helpless tone.
"What are you busy with?"
"Counting money."
The thing is, since the young couple opened their vegetable stall, a large amount of cash was deposited into the account every day, all in small change, five cents or a dime. Niu Dagang needed to catch up on his sleep, so he left this nerve-wracking and time-consuming task to his son. Qin Youdi was too excited for the first two days to count the money herself.
"Yesterday I counted out one hundred and thirty-five dollars and sixty-three cents."
Qin Ju was shocked: "So many?"
As far as she knew, vegetables and pork made a lot of money!
"Well, this is not the most. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I counted 253.48 yuan!"
"My dad said that our family is not short of money now, and he told me to study hard and go to college in Beijing like my aunt and Doubao. He also wanted me to study for a master's degree and go abroad."
Qin Ju: "..." She felt that her brain was not enough. With such a high gross income, she should make about 100-80 yuan a day after deducting the cost? She and Lao He only made what they made in one day in one month?
Qin Ju is in a bad state. Her second sister and brother-in-law are likely to be the first ones in the family to become rich!
"You can't listen to his nonsense. The gross income is high, but the vegetables will be damaged, and the pork will go bad if it is not sold out. The quantity is hard to control. It has just opened these few days, and it happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. In fact, it is just a hard-earned income per day." Qin Guihua entered the house with a pot of braised pork and glared at Qin Ju. "Now they only have a vegetable stall and a meat stall. In the future, more and more merchants will move in, and they won't have such good business."
The meat was delivered by Niu Dagang himself. He said that Shanyong ate with the old lady, so they covered the food expenses for everyone, young and old. They delivered the freshest and best vegetables and meat every day, and sent lots of them so that the old lady didn't have to run out to buy groceries.
"Well, that's not a small amount..." Grandma Guanjian has already held a family meeting. Half of the money earned by my second sister and brother-in-law will be kept by her. Every month when the money is paid, she will read the account book, not a penny less, and also calculate the interest.
The main purpose is to prevent them from growing up. This money is to be saved for Shanyong to study and start a family.
Qin Guihua's lips curled up, "I don't know how long I can make money. It doesn't mean much just because it's just opened. By the way, how is your eldest sister's hotel opening?"
Because there were so many guests, she and her children did not go over to join in the fun.
"It's pretty good. There are people everywhere. My elder sister and brother-in-law are so busy that I can't see them. I came back first."
"Amitābha Buddha, may the Bodhisattva bless us to be prosperous and have abundant wealth."
Qin Ju laughed, "Then why don't you ask for help from your third granddaughter and grandson-in-law?"
"Where are you going? Do you still need me to beg you for help?"
Qin Ju thought about it and it was true. She was now the director of the only comprehensive hospital in Lenghe Town. Lao He had been promoted to engineer and took over Lao Chen's job. She was being trained as the successor to the laboratory. Compared with her elder sisters and many big bosses who went into business, although neither of them made much money, their careers were still satisfying.
They just bought a piece of land for Doubao in the town at the beginning of the year. Now they don't have much money, so they keep the land for now. They can build a shop or a house in the future. Next year, when Lao He gets the project bonus, he plans to buy a courtyard house for Doubao in Beijing. He will rent it for a few years and live there directly when Doubao goes to college.
As for the house in the provincial capital, they bought one the year before last, but they have basically no time to live in it, so they rent it out.
Doubao is now a real little landlady!
Thinking of this, the grandma and grandson both smiled. The whole family was getting better and better, and there was more hope in the future.
"What are you laughing at?" Lao He arrived home without knowing when.
After more than ten years of study and work experience, he has matured a lot, with a few white hairs on his temples. The tenderness between his eyebrows made Qin Jue feel dazed.
Old Hetou is back, a healthy old man with a complete family and a successful career. Together they raise a small garlic, watching it grow and spread its wings...
very nice.
