"Sister Er Ya, I'm so sorry."
"Hehe. It's alright, it's nothing serious."
Zhang Xingguo called Han Mei over and handed her one hundred yuan. "This is from Hongmei. This is from me. Buy whatever you like. I don't know what young girls like."
"Thank you, sir. But this is too much."
"Here, take this. This is my secret stash of money for you."
You know Er Ya and the others have all bought houses. Why don't you buy another one too? Hong Mei has a very good eye for business.
"Yes, I understand, sir. Thank you for your care and support over the years."
"Okay, if you have any problems in the future, just go directly to Hongmei."
After Zhang Xingguo left, Han Mei burst into tears. She felt that she was only where she was today because of the leader's care.
I've started my own family, something I never even dared to dream of before. Holding the two thousand yuan the leader gave me, I cried harder and harder.
Zhang Xingguo didn't know how to coax the little girl, so he came out and found Zhu Zi, giving him one hundred yuan. "This is from Hongmei. You must treat Hanmei well in the future."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely treat Han Mei well."
"Well, if I find out you've done something to wrong her, don't blame me for taking action."
"You don't have that opportunity."
The old lady sat inside, while her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law helped her outside. A little while later, Han Mei came over to keep the old lady company.
Neither of them were talkative people, so the room was very quiet.
Han Mei tried to talk to the old lady, but after thinking for a while, she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly I wondered if there was someone else at home?
"Commander, how is Hongmei?"
"Hmm, it's alright."
The sky is usually killed by conversations between people like those two.
"Wang Ying, you don't need to do this. Go inside and chat with Grandma. Han Mei doesn't like to talk much, and I'm afraid the two of them will just stare at each other."
"Okay!"
Wang Ying entered the room and chuckled. Sister Er Ya's guess was indeed accurate.
"Grandma, shall I get you a glass of water?"
"I'm not thirsty. You should go outside and help out; I don't need you here with me."
"Grandma, I don't want to do any work. Please let me slack off and sit with you in the house."
"You silly girl, you're married and you're still so unreliable."
"Hehe, isn't this how you like me?"
Grandma, do you have enough people around Hongmei? Should I go back?
"No need, five people came last night, and she has quite a few people with her."
"That's alright. Grandma, Hongmei must be feeling really frustrated, right?"
"That's right, but she herself knows that with her belly, she can't go anywhere."
Wang Ying moved closer to the old lady and asked in a voice that all three of them could hear, "Grandma, I've been married for more than half a year, but why am I not pregnant? I want a baby too."
"Go and see that Dr. Sun. I think he's quite capable."
"Grandma, I just feel embarrassed."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You two should go together and let him take a look at you. If there's a problem, find a solution quickly. It's better to have a baby as early as possible. You're young, so you'll recover quickly."
"Hmm. I'll ask Zeng Zhongkang later. Grandma, I really love children. Every time I see Hongmei's belly, I'm so envious."
"Why envy others? Hurry up and find a way to have a baby yourself. You're all so carefree; you should have seen a doctor a long time ago."
An hour later, all the main dishes were ready. All that was left was to stir-fry the vegetables.
The dining table was placed in the living room, which is spacious enough to comfortably seat two tables.
The cold dishes were store-bought: roast chicken, sausage, stir-fried bean curd strips, and fried peanuts.
The main dishes include braised pork chunks, pork strips, braised fish, and meatballs.
The rest was just stir-fried vegetables. Anyway, that made a total of twenty dishes.
The men and women sat at separate tables. As the elder, the old lady accepted their gifts and gave Han Mei a gold bracelet.
The two bowed to Zhang Xingguo again, and Han Mei also received a gold bracelet.
It was lively and bustling. Even Han Mei, who usually doesn't smile, had relaxed facial muscles today. Although it wasn't obvious, she looked different from usual.
After the meal, the old lady and her family sat for a while before leaving.
Wang Ying and Zeng Zhongkang then took their leave.
When the old lady returned to the courtyard, Zhang Hongmei was already taking a nap. Because of her large belly, she had to go to the toilet almost every hour, which was particularly difficult for her. So she spent most of her nap time resting in the space.
The next day, when Han Mei returned to report, Zhang Hongmei sensed something was different about her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Perhaps it was because she was happy.
Even Wang Ying is now restricted from entering and leaving the compound, so when Grandma Zhu and the others left, they could only call Zhang Hongmei.
Before we knew it, Cheng Guangxu was about to return to his unit, but Cai Peilin wouldn't be back until tonight. This was only because he had to return tomorrow; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to come back.
Roger only took a week, but Zhang Hongmei then instructed Cai Peilin to visit all the foreign companies, especially Zhao Tiancheng's textile factory.
Lu Yue was in charge there, but Cai Peilin stayed there for half a month.
Cai Peilin returned tonight but didn't come to the compound. He had already submitted written reports on the situation of each company, but he still called Zhang Hongmei.
"Thanks a lot."
"No. I've taken a liking to Lu Yue. That's why I'm spending more time at the textile factory."
Zhang Hongmei was speechless. Why were they all trying to poach her employees?
However, because it was Cai Peilin, Zhang Hongmei did not joke.
"What did you gain during your time at the textile factory?"
"It seems like she doesn't like me. Could you ask her for me?"
"Hehe, is that so? Okay, I'll call her."
"Hongmei, Cheng Guangxu and I will be returning to the team tomorrow, and it will probably be two months before we can come back."
"I understand. If the girl doesn't agree, you should give up."
"Give it a try!" Cai Peilin felt quite bitter. Although he hadn't completely let go of Zhang Hongmei, he still wanted to forget her completely, but he couldn't. If the girl he liked this time rejected him again, it would be a huge failure.
"Okay, then you should finish the project as soon as possible. You said that boys don't even have time to pursue girls, so how can girls easily agree to be with them?"
"Well, I'll see after I rejoin the team. I guess we won't be required to complete any major projects at this time. At most, we'll have two months to take a vacation."
"Yes, I'll ask Lu Yue beforehand."
"You should ask now. I'm afraid she'll forget who I am if too much time passes."
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow, okay?"
