Chapter 706 Casual Chat
Yang Yihe felt a little relieved, and stepped forward to hold Xiaoyu's hand, saying, "Let's be best friends for life, okay?"
"OK!!"
Xiaoyu squeezed Xiaohe's hand tightly, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
Hehe~
Sister Xiaohe is jealous.
Yang Yihe clung to Xiaoyu, and Mao Mao wanted to join in the fun. He also asked Xiaoyu, "Am I your best friend?"
Xiaoyu: "Yes!"
Yang Yihe's smile faded slightly.
Mao Mao looked like she had expected this: "Of course, I'm your first best friend, so I'm your most important friend, right?"
Xiaoyu: "Yes, yes."
Yang Yihe asked with a resentful look in her eyes, "And what about me?"
Xiaoyu argued confidently: "Sister Xiaohe, you are the best friend of girls, and Mao Mao is the best friend of boys."
She treats everyone equally.
The two were somewhat satisfied.
Xiaoyu suggested, "Let's go play with our younger siblings. They can stand up now, and it's a lot of fun."
The three of them then went to find Pingping and Youyou to play.
As the head of the family, Comrade He Yuxiang was extremely busy during such an important holiday.
First, let's make tea!
The aroma of brewed tea is He Yuxiang's obsession.
Because tea is very expensive.
We cannot waste
At first, He Yuxiang asked his uncle to teach him because his uncle came from a good family and he thought his uncle knew how. But his uncle said he didn't like tea and had never learned it.
My aunt just adds water when she makes tea.
There's absolutely no point in relying on her.
He asked Shen Yaopeng, who occasionally visited his home, about how to brew tea to bring out its aroma.
He diligently brewed tea in the main hall, and after brewing the tea, he set out mooncakes, fruits, and snacks.
Wan Anlang said, "Yu Xiang, is this enough?"
"not enough."
He Yuxiang was very particular about presentation; he was only satisfied after filling the table to the brim.
When the sweet potato chips arrived, Xiaoyu was like a kitten that had smelled its prey. She rushed to the living room, glanced at the scene, and called her two best friends to get the sweet potato chips.
Her uncle and brother would scold her for taking sweet potato chips.
But Sister Xiaohe and Mao Mao won't.
They are guests!
Guests are free to eat whatever they want.
Yang Yihe and Mao Mao obediently went to get sweet potato chips to offer as tribute to King Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu took half of them: "You guys should try them too. The sweet potato chips are super delicious. They're fragrant and crispy, salty and sweet. You'll want to eat more after you start."
She enthusiastically promoted the food, and Yang Yihe and Mao Mao no longer refused and started eating.
The five children were playing in the shade of the front yard. Pingping and Youyou were sitting in their walkers, while Yang Yihe and Maomao sat side by side.
Xiaoyu sat on the outermost side, using Xiaohe and Mao Mao's bodies to hide herself from secretly eating potato chips.
"He, Yu, Ting!" He Yuxiang gritted his teeth, "You come here right now!"
Xiaoyu was caught eating potato chips. She pouted and stuffed all the chips she wanted to savor into her mouth at once, choking on them.
Mao Mao anxiously went to get Xiao Yu a water cup to drink.
Yang Yihe patted Xiaoyu's back to comfort her, "Take it slow, don't rush."
Mao Mao's water cup arrived quickly. Xiao Yu swallowed the water and then met her brother's murderous gaze. She scratched her face, straightened up, and said, "I was wrong!"
She maintained a proper posture.
He showed a good attitude in admitting his mistake.
This person is clearly a skilled worker!
He Yuxiang had nothing to say, and grabbed her by the back of her collar to drink some herbal tea: "Don't cry if your mouth gets a sore later."
"I...I can bear it!" Xiaoyu felt that compared to potato chips, the pain of having a sore on her mouth was nothing.
He Yuxiang tapped her on the forehead, "You're not allowed to eat anymore."
"All right."
Xiaoyu gulped down the herbal tea again.
He Yuan noticed this and advised, "How about we don't eat it for the next few days, and we'll make it for you next Saturday?"
Xiao Yu was delighted: "Okay! Pinky promise!"
He Yuan: "Pinky promise."
The agreement is valid.
Xiaoyu dared not look at potato chips anymore, because they made her crave them.
After enduring until evening, Xiaoyu ate mooncakes again, so she took the lantern made by her uncle and went out to play with her sister Xiaohe and Maomao.
He Yuxiang was still at home, sitting in the main seat, holding his younger brother and listening to the adults chat.
The chat mainly focused on Wan Anlang's wedding.
He Yuan and Chen Qing both had to make time to accompany him to visit Meng Huanhuan's parents, and they were currently discussing the bride price.
Wan Anlang asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, do you think an 88 yuan dowry, a bicycle, and a watch are enough?"
He has saved a lot of money over the years, but he also needs to make a living in the future, so he can't put all his money into marriage.
Chen Qing: "Add another bolt of red cloth, I'll take care of it for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Wan Anlang said, a little embarrassed.
Mao Jianguo said, "That's about enough. You'll have a lot of expenses after having a baby, so you should save some reserve funds. Also, think about how to get a house in the machinery factory. Otherwise, it's not a good idea for the two of you to rent a place with the baby."
“My father-in-law also wants me to get a house, but it’s going to be very difficult for me to get one. Director Mao, you know the situation inside the machinery factory; the factory director has more and more relatives…”
Wan Anlang lowered his head, feeling a tightness in his chest.
His skills improved gradually thanks to occasional guidance from Brother Yuan, and he eventually became a team leader.
Even so, he still couldn't apply for a private dormitory room.
You need connections to get a dormitory assigned...
Mao Jianguo sighed, glanced at Chen Qing, and gulped down two mouthfuls of wine.
With Director Shen in charge, the machinery factory was thriving. Later, He Yuan's research on lathes was a great success, leading to rapid expansion. Chen Qing rose to prominence and purged the factory, propelling it to new heights.
Nowadays...
Factory Director Shen has left.
Chen Qing is gone.
He Yuan is leaving too.
Once the key figure leaves, who knows what will become of the machine factory?
He Yuxiang asked, "Can't we just get rid of the factory manager?"
Mao Jianguo said, "The most difficult leaders to deal with are not those who make big mistakes, but those who do things that are annoying even when they don't make big mistakes."
Wan Anlang deeply agrees.
He Yuan didn't feel it deeply because after his ideological differences with Liu Guangsheng, he directly abandoned Liu Guangsheng and returned to the central government.
But he had mentioned this to Shen Yaopeng.
Shen Yaopeng was helpless. Even if he could set hard targets, he couldn't do anything to Liu Guangsheng if Liu Guangsheng couldn't meet them.
Moreover, Liu Guangsheng himself did not commit any major offenses, so the organization could not punish him arbitrarily.
Mao Jianguo: "We still need to work with leaders who have the courage and the ability to think and act. This Director Liu is outrageous. You don't know how lazy our factory's employees are. They often slack off, and we're getting fewer and fewer orders."
The topic of the machinery factory didn't sit well with everyone, so we skipped it and started talking about Xiaoyu instead.
Mao Jianguo asked, "Do you intend to train Xiaoyu to be an athlete?"
Chen Qing: "Yes, we have this idea for now, but the specifics will depend on Xiaoyu's physical condition and competition results."
