In the south at the end of October, the sun is not as hot as in summer.

She likes to sit in the sun in a coat in the temperature of more than ten degrees, enjoying the sunshine and feeling very comfortable.

She pushed Chen Guoxing for a stroll around the hospital. When she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, she went in and bought him some daily necessities. Finally, she sat down by the flower bed on the side of the hospital.

"What shoes were you wearing that day? Why were they so slippery?"

All the clothes, pants and socks that Dad wore were prepared by her, except for shoes, which she didn't know how to make, so he had to buy them himself when they were worn out.

"I happened to be having a meeting with the city leaders that day, so I wanted to be more formal, so I wore a pair of single-foot leather shoes. The weather was fine in the morning, with the sun out, but in the afternoon it started to rain heavily."

"I was returning to the factory after the meeting. I was soaked. My feet slipped and I lost my grip, so I fell down the stairs."

"Xiao Chen didn't react at the time and couldn't even pull him back."

"Hey, I'm old~~"

"I can't believe that a fall can make me end up like this!"

"It's not a question of whether you're old or not. Even if a young person falls down the stairs, it's not any better."

Fortunately, it is only a fracture and he will recover after resting for two or three months. If it was a head injury, it would be truly unimaginable.

"Why don't you just step down and come with me to Lu City. If you feel bored, you can be the factory manager."

"When the Haishi trade fair is over at the end of this year, I should be resigning from the steel plant and transferred to the Provincial Department of Industry as deputy director and deputy secretary of the party group. The appointment document will be issued by the end of the year. I originally wanted to wait until the official document came down before telling you."

For things like this, if the paperwork isn't finalized, there's a possibility of changes, so he never told Xiao Yu about it.

"Do you want to go up further?"

"Um."

The Yan family is a wealthy and prominent family. While he is still young, he can work hard to move up and earn a better family background for his daughter.

"If it's for me, I don't actually want you to be so tired."

“Not tired!”

"I'm 49 years old this year, not 70 or 80 years old, so it won't be a problem for me to continue working for another 10 years."

Song Fuyu didn't know what to say about his decision.

"You are about to leave office, so can I not do the booth layout that I promised to do?"

"Of course not!"

"This is your father's and my last battle at the steel mill. It must be more successful than any of the previous ones!"

"I'm counting on you to make history for me!"

"Hey... don't expect so much from me. I'm very lazy right now. I'll just start to resume work before I come back."

She really didn't expect that she would leave again just after she made up her mind to work hard.

..........

Xiao Chen arrived at the hospital at ten o'clock. He heard from his fellow patients in the ward that the factory director was carried downstairs by his daughter to bask in the sun. He went downstairs to find them with a suspicious attitude.

"Factory Director!"

"How did you get downstairs?"

"Xiao Yu carried it on his back."

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

“I thought the comrades in the ward were lying to me.”

It was not until Song Fuyu asked him to move the wheelchair to the second floor and she carried the factory director on her back and followed him up effortlessly that Xiao Chen really believed that she had the ability to do so.

"Dad, you take a rest first, I'll go back and cook for you."

"Why not just go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some?"

“Nothing you buy tastes as good as something you make yourself.”

"Just wait patiently. I will definitely be back before twelve o'clock."

Xiao Chen sent her to the door of her home, and Wang Pingan was already waiting at the door pushing her newly bought bicycle.

"When I bought the car, I saw there were some spare ribs left, so I bought them all, as well as fish and eggs."

"Thank you, Brother Ping An. You bought it just in time."

After roughly estimating the price of the ingredients, he took out three dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand.

"You don't have to be so polite. The factory director usually takes good care of me. He shared a lot of the food you sent him. These are my condolences to him as his nephew."

Wang Ping'an returned the money to Song Fuyu.

"Well, next time you buy something, you must accept it."

"No problem, I'll collect it next time."

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm going back to the factory to work."

As soon as the two of them left, Song Fuyu cleaned the stove at home and started to stew mushroom and pork ribs soup.

While the soup was stewing, I also wiped other places in the house.

As she was sitting on the sofa to rest, she suddenly thought of this house and realized that she couldn't live in it for much longer.

As soon as my father leaves office, the steel plant will take back the house. Will they have to move to the new residential building at the Industry Department?

Oh my god...back to the tube building again...

When you think about it this way, it seems that getting a promotion isn't such a good thing.

With the rank of deputy director, although he could be allocated a house of 70 to 90 square meters, it was still a tube building after all! How could it be as comfortable as the two-story independent small house now?

Forget it, let’s wait a few more years. When the country allows private housing purchases, she will definitely move out of the tube-shaped building with her father as soon as possible!

After the pork ribs soup was done, she quickly fried tomatoes, eggs, cucumbers, carrots and diced chicken, added the steamed rice that had been prepared in the space, picked up some seasonal fruits, and set off for the hospital on her newly bought 28-inch bicycle.

When I returned to the ward, the patients in other beds had already started eating.

“Why do you buy so many things?”

"Brother Ping An bought the vegetables, and I just bought some fruit."

"There's too much food to cook. I can't finish it all by myself."

"I haven't eaten yet either."

"Why don't you eat and come over?"

"It's too boring to eat alone. We can chat with each other when we eat together."

"Director Chen, is this the meal your daughter made herself?"

As soon as a few lunch boxes were opened, the family members lying on the beds nearby instantly focused their attention on their meals.

Wow, ribs, eggs, and chicken, all delicious dishes.

"Yes, she did."

"You are so lucky. This dish is not only rich but also delicious. Unlike us, we only have simple shredded potatoes and steamed buns made of two-grain flour."

Chen Guoxing smiled and didn't continue talking.

"Try the pork ribs and mushroom soup I made first. These mushrooms were picked by Grandpa and Ziyuan on the mountain before we came back. I brought some back with me."

"I forgot to ask, what will happen to your grandparents if you come back suddenly?"

"They will return to Jing City after Ziyuan goes on a mission."

"Tomorrow you will push me to the post office to call them and apologize. My fall has forced them to return to Beijing early."

"Oh, it's okay. Grandpa and grandma are not the kind of people who care about so many things."

"My parents-in-law also called me in the middle of the month and said they missed them very much and wanted them to return to Beijing. My return helped them fulfill their wish."
