After staring at the gold ring on Pei Qiuxia's ring finger for a long time, Jiang Xinsheng left unwillingly.

As soon as Jiang Xinsheng left, Qian Rong arrived.

The two had made an appointment in advance to go shopping.

Qian Rong obviously saw Jiang Xinsheng. As soon as she arrived, she started gossiping about what Pei Qiuxia and Jiang Xinsheng had talked about, and speculated that Pei Qiuxia still had feelings for Jiang Xinsheng.

"You and Jiang Xinsheng are not going to get back together, are you? They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. If you get back together with him now, he will definitely be deeply moved and will be devoted to you for the rest of his life."

Pei Qiuxia was almost mad at what her friend said, "Impossible, even if all the men in the world died, I would never come back to him. Don't mention him in front of me anymore!"

Seeing her firm attitude, Qian Rong smiled and said, "It seems that you really have feelings for your Officer Shen."

Pei Qiuxia did not deny it.

Qian Rong noticed the ring on her hand again, "When did you buy the ring? Why did you buy a gold one? It's so tacky. People wear platinum ones now."

"I bought it for my mother. The factory has done well this year, so I paid her the year-end bonus in advance."

“How much did you send?”

Thinking that Qian Rong's salary was not high, Pei Qiuxia deliberately halved the amount of her year-end bonus, "More than 500."

Qian Rong breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. "Not bad, I might as well go to work in your factory next year. Our crappy company, let alone year-end bonuses, even wages are delayed. I don't want to stay here for a day."

Pei Qiuxia said seriously: "If you really want to come, you can submit your resume and try."

"Is there any good position suitable for me in the factory? Otherwise, you can talk to your cousin and recruit me into the finance department."

"To join the finance department you have to get an accounting certificate first."

"So can I join the Finance Department after I pass the exam?"

"It's hard to say. Recruitment is not my cousin's business."

Qian Rong held her arm and said coquettishly, "Isn't the boss your cousin's wife? Can you help me to speak up for her and make an exception for me, or let me be your cousin's wife's assistant? Didn't you start out as an assistant?"

"My cousin's wife has no shortage of assistants now, and all her assistants are selected from within the company, not hired from outside."

Qian Rong pouted in frustration: "Forget it, I'll just continue to hang around. I'll talk about changing jobs after I give birth to the baby."

Hearing this, Pei Qiuxia glanced at her stomach and asked, "Is there any movement?"

"No, my mother-in-law got some folk remedies from somewhere and forced me to drink them every day. I'm almost fed up with it."

"You should go to the hospital for a check-up. If there is any problem, you can get timely treatment."

"I do have this plan, but we'll see after the Spring Festival."

…

River city.

Du Juan came out of the bedroom after coaxing her son to sleep. She saw Shen Chaobei sitting on the sofa, rubbing his hands on his knees, looking like he was worried. She couldn't help but take the initiative to walk forward:

"What's up?"

Shen Chaobei looked at her with a flattering look on his face: "Dad called this afternoon and asked if we would go back to Fengcheng to celebrate the Spring Festival this year."

Du Juan was silent for a long time before she said, "Let's go back."

Shen Chaobei couldn't believe it: "Return?"

"I haven't been back for so many years, it's time to go back and take a look."

Shen Chaobei nodded hurriedly, very happy, "Then I will go and book a plane ticket tomorrow, 28 or 29?"

"You decide."

After saying that, Du Juan turned around and went to the bathroom.

Shen Chaobei immediately picked up the phone and told Shen Jianguo and his parents the news that he was going home for the New Year.

"What are you doing? Are you losing your mind just by answering a phone call?"

Seeing that Shen Jianguo held the microphone for a long time without saying anything, Qin Jinlian scolded him in annoyance.

"Old lady, Chaobei said he would come back to celebrate the Spring Festival this year."

"They said they'd book tickets tomorrow, either the 28th or the 29th."

"That's only a few days away. I have to clean up their rooms quickly."

Before he could finish his words, he had already stood up and hurried upstairs. If you didn't know, you would think that Shen Chaobei and his family would be back tomorrow.

Shen Jianguo called Shen Xiangnan and Shen Mingzhu respectively to share the good news.

…

"Your sister-in-law is really bad-tempered. She didn't let mom see her grandson for five years."

Upon learning that Shen Chaobei's family of four were going back to Fengcheng this year, Pei Yang couldn't help but make a joke.

Shen Mingzhu did not comment: "The ice is not formed in a day. If she had not been biased towards the second brother, forcing the eldest brother and his wife to go to the city to make a living, and later wanted to snatch Zilong away, the eldest sister-in-law would not be completely disappointed with this in-law family."

Pei Yang looked at her and said, "You are also quite cruel. Sometimes I feel like you don't look like your mother's biological child."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Haven't you heard that if a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable?"

Pei Yang: "My wife is right."

Shen Mingzhu spat: "Flatterer."

…

In a blink of an eye, it was Pei Yang’s 34th birthday.

Shen Mingzhu really couldn't think of what gift to buy. After all, she had already bought everything she needed and there was no point in giving the same gift again, so she simply gave a cash red envelope of 1314.

Pei Yang was quite unhappy when he saw that the gift was a red envelope, thinking that Shen Mingzhu was too perfunctory, until he learned the special meaning of the amount of the red envelope, he smiled happily.

The brother and sister also carefully prepared birthday gifts for their old father.

Pei Tang prepared a thermos cup so that Pei Yang could drink wolfberry tea when he had nothing to do to maintain his health.

Pei Yang said: It is a really heartwarming and heartbreaking gift.

The gift Pei Ziheng prepared was very special, it was a modified mobile phone.

Current mobile phones are all equipped with nickel-cadmium batteries, which have the disadvantages of being large, heavy, and having low capacity.

Pei Ziheng spent a lot of money to order newly developed nickel-metal hydride batteries from abroad to replace the original nickel-cadmium batteries.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are not only thinner and lighter than nickel-cadmium batteries, but also have a larger capacity and can support longer talk time.

In addition to the battery, Pei Ziheng also redesigned the body.

The modified mobile phone is more than half smaller in size, thickness and weight than before.

This is the project Pei Ziheng was researching during his leave of absence.

The shell of the mobile phone is made of titanium alloy and painted with dark blue metallic paint. The thin body and smooth lines make it look like a beautiful work of art.

Pei Yang praised it on the surface, smiling from ear to ear, but secretly he whispered to Shen Mingzhu: "Wife, do you think this phone our son made can be used?"

"Why don't you just try and find out?"

Pei Yang looked at the phone in his hand with an expression like an old man on the subway looking at his phone: "I'm worried that if it doesn't work and burns out, it will dampen my son's enthusiasm. He's been busy for nearly a month."

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think your son would give you a defective item that you can't use?"

"That's right, let me give it a try."

As he was about to dial the number, Shen Mingzhu stopped him and said, "Go try farther away."

"Why?"

"If it explodes, don't let it hit me."
