Chapter 166 Good News

However, Lu Hehuan's article was good, so Lin Shu gave it to Hou Bo and asked him to help copy it and give it to the branch secretary.

Hou Bo's children were not very interested in writing articles. At most, they were at the level of normal essays, and they did not have the excitement of surging literary ideas.

Since Xu Xiaoyou came to play, Lin Shu invited her to have dinner, or even stay overnight.

Xu Xiaoyou often came to play in the afternoon and had dinner here, stayed overnight and went home tomorrow.

At this time, Aunt Li stepped on the wall and asked, "Shaotang's wife, when are the long-haired rabbits for sale? My mother's family and I want a total of eight little female rabbits."

The three female rabbits gave birth to little rabbits one after another, a total of 32 little rabbits, and they all survived because of the careful care of Lin Shu and the children.

Lin Shu was amazed at the calculation. Rabbits are really... breeding kings, worthy of the two uteruses, and the other two female rabbits are also pregnant.

When these little rabbits grow up a little, they will be pierced by Lu Laodi himself to give them numbers, so that whoever buys which number will know how they grow, and how they will be used for future breeding, production, and shearing.

Lin Shu has already created files for the rabbits with Tiantian and others, taking great pains.

She drew a very professional and clear form, recording each rabbit's number, birthday, relationship, production, shearing, health, etc. for reference.

Lin Shu is the leader of the rabbit team, Tiantian is the rabbit file manager, Panpan is the rabbit quartermaster, and Grandpa is the rabbit hygienist. The team members are the cubs, including Hou Bo and Lu An. Fang Dihua and others are consultants and foreign aid.

Tiantian: "We have to wait until the rabbits are one month old and weaned before we can sell them."

If they are one month old, a rabbit weighs about one kilogram.

Lin Shu set the price of a full-month rabbit at one yuan, which is about the same as the price of selling chickens. A live chicken costs one to one and a half yuan per kilogram.

Rabbits are more expensive than chickens because they still have fur, but Lin Shu doesn't want to sell them at a high price. If they are

too expensive, it will go against the original intention of everyone raising rabbits together to provide rabbit fur.

Of course, it can't be too cheap, and we still have to follow the price outside. Most people don’t think her rabbits are cheap

even if she sells them cheaply, they just want to get a lower price. There are too many people who get a low price but still want to sell them cheaply, so it’s better to set a fixed price so that everyone can buy them without having to talk about personal relationships. She made an agreement with the people who bought her rabbits that she would be responsible for collecting the rabbit fur, and would keep collecting it. People who raise rabbits can choose to buy only female rabbits and then have them bred by her family, or they can buy a male rabbit for breeding. The three male rabbits here are not theirs, and the three litters of rabbits just born are not theirs, so that they can be bred to the maximum extent. Lin Shu will keep three more male rabbits from these three litters as breeding rabbits, so that there will be more opportunities to choose. If rabbits are inbred, the baby rabbits are prone to disease and degeneration, and various negative effects of inbreeding will appear. They also have to control the number of times the rabbits reproduce. They can't let them reproduce freely, otherwise they will give birth to a litter every one or two months, and there won't be enough food at home. After asking clearly, Aunt Li asked Lin Shu to leave her five female rabbits. She wanted to raise three for herself and give five to her parents' family. Her parents' family couldn't hatch chicks in the winter. They would die easily because it was too cold. It would be better to raise a few rabbits, whether it was to give birth to rabbits, cut rabbit wool, or sell meat. It would all be an income anyway. It would be less likely for each family to kill rabbits if they raised fewer rabbits. Lin Shu wrote it down. At this time, the sound of a jeep came from outside. Panpan's ears moved, "Second uncle and second aunt are here." Little Hou Wei: "Why not third uncle?" Little Hou Wei thought that they were all driving jeeps, and he didn't see people or cars, he just heard the sound, isn't it the same? How can you tell whether it is the second uncle or the third uncle? Panpan chuckled and said, "My father's jeep is new, with more power and a sharper engine. The second uncle's jeep is old, and the engine is old and makes a loud noise." In fact, Lu Shaotang and his jeep were modified for work needs, and the speed can be more than twice that of Jiang Weidong's. The engine is naturally different. But no one could hear it, or didn't pay attention. Only Panpan had sharp ears and was paying attention. Sure enough, when they arrived at the door, they saw Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia coming out of the car. The children were very happy to see the second aunt and the second uncle. Everyone talked affectionately and went into the house. Lin Xia: "Where are the elder sister and the others?" Tiantian: "Second aunt, my eldest aunt went to the water station to help my second aunt turn the mill, my eldest uncle and my eldest uncle went to the province to buy fertilizer, and my brothers Hou Bo and Lu An went to the field to pick up sorghum roots." Although the corn stalks and sorghum stalks were dug out with a small hoe, there were still fibrous roots left in the field. After the land was plowed and harrowed, these fibrous roots were dragged out and could be taken home for burning, and many children went to pick them. Seeing her speak so carefully, Lin Xia smiled and said, "Tiantian, why are you so good? I really miss you." She wanted to give birth to a sensible and well-behaved baby like Tiantian and Panpan. Just then, elder sister Lin came back pushing a wheelbarrow with fragrant noodles, and the three sisters were reunited and were very happy. Panpan and Xiao Houwei were responsible for entertaining Jiang Weidong, pouring water for him, asking about his well-being, and not neglecting the second uncle at all. Jiang Weidong told his mother about his wife, and all the leaders congratulated him and waited for him to hold a banquet at the end of the year. Now he really looked like a groom-to-be. Panpan asked curiously: "Second uncle, did you steal the elixir?" Jiang Weidong was stunned and laughed, "Why do you say that?" Panpan: "Why do you look younger to me?" Jiang Weidong is 33 years old after all, and he can't be compared with Lu Shaotang who is in his twenties, so in Panpan's eyes, the second uncle is still a little old, after all, he is about the same age as the first uncle. Panpan thinks that the eldest uncle and the first uncle must be old. But why does he feel that his second uncle has become younger now? He looks several years younger. In the past, he thought his second uncle was an old cadre. After all, he was still young. His second uncle must be much older than him. Thirty is very old for him. Well, now his second uncle seems like a young cadre.

Jiang Weidong laughed.

The three sisters who were talking over there also looked at them. Lin Shu smiled and said, "Your second uncle is in high spirits because he is happy."

Little Hou Wei looked at Jiang Weidong's belly, "Second uncle, are you going to have a baby?"

The adults laughed even louder.

Panpan: "Stupid, only girls can have babies, not boys. Didn't you see that only female rabbits can have babies, not males?"

He didn't realize this problem before, but recently when he raised rabbits, Panpan suddenly realized it.

Little Hou Wei, however, has not yet opened up the logical chain, and he still can't make analogies. He doesn't know the trick. He only heard the old women in the village say that someone is pregnant and is going to have a baby.

Lin Shu asked her second sister and Jiang Weidong what they had said to Aunt Jiang, "Why didn't you invite Aunt Jiang to stay for a few days?"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang said she had to prepare, and when you are not busy in the winter, she will come to spend the winter with you."

Thinking of Jiang Weidong taking her to tell Aunt Jiang about their partner, Lin Xia found it funny. She

liked Aunt Jiang and Jiang Weidong more. If she found such a partner and mother-in-law, she would never repeat the Qian family's situation in the future.

At that time, Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia went back to the factory together. In the past, Jiang Weidong went to the office and Lin Xia went to see Mrs. Jiang first. This was the first time they went home together.

Aunt Jiang was washing her feet at home at the time. Because she had bound her feet when she was a child, although she had them unbound later, her toes were still bound and she still had ugly bound feet. She always washed her feet behind people’s backs.

Suddenly she was a little panicked when she saw her son and Lin Xia coming back together. She didn’t want others to see her bound feet. As a result, she saw the two of them standing still in the hallway, and her son actually touched Lin Xia’s face.

Aunt Jiang immediately got anxious and yelled, “Jiang Weidong!”

She didn’t bother to wipe her feet and rushed over with her shoes on.

Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia were both startled.

Aunt Jiang smiled at Lin Xia, and then she frowned at Jiang Weidong.

"Why don't you pay attention to the impact? Why did you do that?"

Jiang Weidong hurriedly explained, "Just now when she came over the hedge, there was a spider silk hanging on Lin Xia's face, and I took it off."

Old Mrs. Jiang widened her eyes and slapped her son's hand, "Do you need to take it? Can you take it?"

She suspected that her son was taking advantage of Lin Xia by relying on his title as deputy factory director. It was not that she did not trust her son, but that in her eyes, Lin Xia appeared to be too dutiful and honest. She was the image of a hardworking, capable and aggrieved woman. Especially when the Qian family's extravagant actions emerged one after another, Old Mrs. Jiang felt annoyed with the Qian family and at the same time felt more sympathetic to Lin Xia's past.

Oh, this daughter is so miserable. Fortunately, they got divorced. If they didn’t get divorced, who knows what would happen.

Oh, it’s not easy. I have to be nicer to Lin Xia next time I see her.

Oh, if she were my biological daughter, I would definitely...

But in the blink of an eye, she saw her son fighting with others. How could she not be suspicious?

Lin Xia hurriedly rescued Jiang Weidong, "Auntie, it's okay, Jiang and I..."

But Jiang Weidong didn't want her to speak for him. He took the initiative to hold Lin Xia's hand and shook it to Mrs. Jiang.

Lin Xia was interrupted, turned her head to look at him, and laughed.

Mrs. Jiang: "Huh?"

What's the matter?

Seeing Lin Xia smiling so happily, she suddenly understood and immediately pulled Lin Xia into the house and asked quietly: "Girl, tell me, did Jiang Weidong bully you?"

Lin Xia smiled even more brilliantly and shook her head, "Auntie, no, Brother Jiang is very good to me."

Old Mrs. Jiang: "Did he threaten you with help?"

Lin Xia shook her head.

Old Mrs. Jiang: "So he flirted with you?"

Lin Xia thought for a moment and continued to laugh, "Auntie, he didn't flirt with me, he pursued me."

Auntie Jiang thought for a moment, flirting didn't sound very nice, pursuing sounded better, "Did you agree to him?"

Lin Xia nodded, "Yes, I think Brother Jiang is a kind and generous man, responsible and manly, and I like him too."

Auntie Jiang turned around suspiciously, "Do you really like him? He's not as good as you see. Let me tell you, he used to be away from home all day, and once he started working, he was like missing. He's a bit of a macho man, and when I said a few words to him, he said I didn't understand."

Lin Xia looked at Auntie Jiang and felt grateful in her heart. Auntie Jiang was very different from the other old ladies she knew, especially Mother Qian. The other old ladies would naturally praise their sons and try to cover up their sons' shortcomings, but Auntie Jiang wouldn't do that.

She thought that it was worth marrying Jiang Weidong just for such a good old lady like Aunt Jiang.

If Mother Qian could be half as good as Aunt Jiang, she would not have asked Qian Lisheng for a divorce. After all, she spent most of her time with her mother-in-law.

Her heart warmed up and an impulse surged in her heart. She ignored her previous embarrassment and restraint and hugged Aunt Jiang. "Auntie, thank you, I really like Brother Jiang, and he likes me too."

Aunt Jiang was happy and patted Lin Xia on the back. She was so happy, "Oh, good, really good, I didn't expect that the bad boy would also have the time to pick up treasures."

This is really a blessing from heaven.

Although Lin Xia said it nicely, Old Lady Jiang still secretly interrogated her son.

Did he get hot-headed because he saw how pitiful Lin Xia was? Otherwise, why wasn't he interested in the people he introduced to her before, but now he suddenly likes Lin Xia?

Did he feel that he had done a favor for Lin Xia and Lu Jiazhuang, and was trying to repay the favor?

In short, Mrs. Jiang had arranged a second marriage for her son, and her son was not interested, which hurt her a lot. She had to ask him why he suddenly fell in love with Lin Xia.

Jiang Weidong: "Mom, I want to tell you something. You promised not to tell anyone, including Lin Xia."

Mrs. Jiang: "Then I have to listen first."

Then Jiang Weidong said that he had met Lin Xia in the first year after he changed his job. He had a good impression of her at that time, and it could be said that he fell in love at first sight. He even secretly asked whose daughter she was from, and then he knew that she was actually the daughter-in-law of the Qian family.

He didn't think about it any more. After

all, love at first sight is just a feeling at first sight, which doesn't affect him in any way. However, because of this first impression, he would pay more attention to her, and he also admired her for her diligence and eagerness to learn.

Of course, he would not tell Mrs. Jiang, Lin Xia or anyone else that he had secretly helped Lin Xia. He

allowed her to help in the kitchen, let the old electrician notice her, secretly sent her books, and let her attend night school training...

He didn't want people to know because he didn't want people to deny her efforts and diligence, and he didn't want people to think that he helped her for other purposes.

After all, most people would think that how could a man help a woman for no reason?

He must have some plans for her.

If she didn't divorce, or if he didn't get together with her, it would be fine. Now that the two of them are together, then the appreciation and help in the past will become premeditated, and her diligence and eagerness to learn will become his help.

This is unfair to both her and him, so he doesn't want people to know.

Although Mrs. Jiang was not very educated, she was well-informed and heard a lot of gossip, so she could understand his thoughts and promised to keep it a secret for him.

When Mrs. Jiang heard Jiang Weidong say that he had already applied to his leader to pursue Lin Xia, she was immediately unhappy, "Why didn't you apply to me in advance?"

Don't treat me as a leader!

However, Mrs. Jiang was the happiest that her son could pursue Lin Xia.

The next morning, she happily went to the secretary, the factory director, the factory office director and others to announce the good news - she was going to have a daughter-in-law!

When the wedding was held at the end of the year, they would all have to attend.

Mrs. Jiang's excitement really made Han Yun envious, and the disgust brought by Han Xiaofen also subsided a lot.

Han Xiaofen, a junior high school student and a regular employee, was determined to compete with Zhang Shuxia, an unemployed rural woman who worked as a nanny, for Qian Lisheng, a worker with a bad character.

This was simply unbelievable to Han Yun.

The most infuriating thing was that another regular worker, Fu Xiumei, also intervened. Now there were three women and a man messing around.

It was almost a scandal in the steel mill, and a laughing stock for the brother units outside.

Fu Xiumei did not report it because she wanted to marry Qian Lisheng because she wanted to compete with the two women for him, but because she knew that Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia were threatening Qian Lisheng to marry them, and she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to stand up for Master Qian.

When Master Qian was bullied by Lin Xia, Fu Xiumei couldn't stand it. If she hadn't been scolded by Lin Shu, she would have wanted to bring people to block Lin Xia. Especially when Qian's mother broke her leg and Lin Xia didn't take care of her, Fu Xiumei couldn't stand it.

She claimed to be a righteous person, and she would clear the road if it was not smooth.

She couldn't clear Lin Shu and Lin Xia, and now Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia came out. Both of them were widows, one was taking care of the baby, and the other was single. They were not her opponents.

She cleared them decisively!

She reported to the factory office that Han Xiaofen had hooked up with Master Qian and threatened to marry her. She also reported Zhang Shuxia, a rural nanny, for not being grateful to Master Qian for saving her from the fire, and actually took advantage of the fire to force Master Qian to marry her.

She stood up for Qian Lisheng, but she ended up burying him.

Jiang Weidong avoided the matter, and the factory director led the security department to investigate. They first investigated Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia separately, and soon found out that they had had improper relationships with Qian Lisheng. The factory director

was okay, after all, he was older, calmer, and more knowledgeable. The

head of the security department was not so good. He had a bad temper. He got married in his twenties, and his wife was not virtuous enough. She quarreled with him all day long.

His marriage was not going well, and he was easily angry at others, especially Qian Lisheng, who had a stain and could not have children, but he still managed to make two women fall in love with him and insist on marrying him.

What was the basis for that?

Qian Lisheng, you are having affairs with men and women and acting like a hooligan, you know that right?

You must be arrested!

If Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia were both unmarried young women, then they both had affairs with Qian Lisheng, and Qian Lisheng was 100% guilty of hooliganism.

The problem now is that they are both widows, and they had affairs with Qian Lisheng of their own accord, and there was even an element of seduction, so Qian Lisheng did not commit hooliganism, it can only be said that he had an improper relationship with a man.

Naturally, this cannot be used to convict him, let alone hooliganism.

However, because of his character problems, he lost his position as the workshop team leader of the steel mill and could only be a worker, with no chance of promotion in the future.

In addition, the factory reform committee asked him to make a choice between Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia and marry one of them. They felt that sleeping with someone other than for the purpose of marriage was just hooliganism. The

factory director personally talked to Qian Lisheng, and also talked to Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia.

Han Xiaofen and Zhang Shuxia both said they wanted to marry Qian Lisheng and not bear this stigma in vain.

Han Xiaofen really hated Fu Xiumei. Qian Lisheng had originally agreed to marry her. After marriage, not only would her children be taken care of, but in two years, her daughter would be able to take over Qian's mother's job, so that her son would also have a job in the future.

Of course, she didn't care much about Qian Lisheng, but this was the best condition she could find for a second marriage. It was really perfect, and she couldn't give up easily.

As for Zhang Shuxia, what she was thinking was even more cruel than Han Xiaofen.

She was abused by her first man in the countryside, and had no way to survive. She could only escape when the man died, but her in-laws scolded her for being a jinx and a jinx, so no other decent man dared to marry her. She was originally in a relationship with the brazer, thinking that he had no women or children, and she would just marry him to live a good life, but who knew he was a lunatic!

She finally ran to the county town to find a man, and Qian Lisheng thought she was diligent, capable, honest and dutiful, so he asked her to come and serve Qian's mother.

She served with all her heart, and even though Qian's mother was picky and mean, she would not beat her.

Especially after she and Qian Lisheng were together, her life became much better.

If she could marry Qian Lisheng, she would be able to turn things around and

live the life of a good woman. Those bad women in the countryside who bullied and cursed her would only be jealous of her and would never be able to compare to her. She absolutely could not lose Qian Lisheng. If Qian Lisheng did not want her, she would be driven back to the countryside. She

could not go back to her parents' home, and her husband's family would not tolerate her. The men in the village would only take advantage of her and harm her. The women in the village would blame her for hooking up with their men and wish to tear her apart.

She would die if she went back to the countryside!

Even if she returned to Huangxian, she could only make a living by washing and mending clothes for those men, and would be harassed and bullied by them from time to time.

She did not want to go back to her old life. She must marry Qian Lisheng!

She was not afraid of threatening him with death.

She was so humble in front of Qian's mother, Qian's father, and Qian Lisheng that she wished she could kneel down and serve them, allowing Qian's mother to look down on her, criticize her, and enjoy her service at the same time.

Mother Qian analyzed with Father Qian and Qian Lisheng:

"Han Xiaofen would never serve you like this, let alone us."

"Although Han Xiaofen is somewhat educated, educated women are hypocritical, calculating, and more shrewd. Don't you think Lin Xia becomes bad just because she has education?"

"Han Xiaofen has a daughter and a son. She came here to ask our family to raise her children. She must be thinking about my job. When her children grow up, they will definitely not support you in your old age. They may even throw you out."

"Han Xiaofen is better at calculating us than Lin Xia."

"Zhang Shuxia is uneducated and honest. The key is that she has no job and no urban household registration. She has to rely on us for everything."

"She can do my job and I have to keep the money she earns. That way, there will be no problem."

"She doesn't dare to ask for a divorce if something happens. If she gets divorced, she has nowhere to go. She can only live on our Qian family."

"She is more obedient and easier to control than Lin Xia."

As long as Qian's father doesn't interfere with his enjoyment and fishing and doesn't let him work, it doesn't matter who his son marries.

Anyway, when his wife is sick, she has to be taken care of by her daughter-in-law, not him.

Qian Lisheng's mind is full of Lin Xia, and it's meaningless to lose other women without Lin Xia. They can't compare

to her in any way. The troubles and humiliation that Qian Lisheng is facing now reported by Fu Xiumei are really... nothing compared to the fact that he and Lin Xia couldn't have children.

Now if he admits to the whole world that he can't have children, he can go back to the time before his divorce from Lin Xia, and he is willing.

In the end, he chose Zhang Shuxia.

Zhang Shuxia was his best choice at the moment. It was impossible to marry an unmarried young woman with a job.

It was also impossible to marry a second marriage with a clean record.

Zhang Shuxia could at least serve him.

He was really ruined by... Lin Xia.

Why couldn't she be more tolerant of him?

How could she be so heartless and talk about divorce so easily?

Then during this time, he suddenly heard people say that Mrs. Jiang was spreading good news everywhere, that her son Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia were together, and that a wedding banquet would be held at the end of the year.

Qian Lisheng exploded instantly!

He wanted to find Lin Xia to question her, whether she had been together with Jiang Weidong for a long time, and deliberately found fault with him to divorce him.

He wanted to post a big-character poster about Jiang Weidong, asking if he had been hooking up with Lin Xia for a long time, and deliberately did something bad to instigate Lin Xia to divorce him.

Unfortunately, he had no chance, because he made a mistake and was ordered by the Revolutionary Committee to suspend his work and reflect on his mistakes. Every day

, he had to go to the Security Department to write a self-examination and reflect on his mistakes before going to work. After work, he continued to work overtime to reflect on his mistakes, and could only go home and rest very late. This happened every day until the factory Revolutionary Committee believed that he had reflected on his mistakes in place and was sincere, and then he would be allowed to resume his status as an ordinary worker and continue to work in Huangxian.

So he had no time to find trouble with Lin Xia and Jiang Weidong, and whenever he wanted to say something bad about Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia in the Security Department, the head of the Security Department would yell at him for not reflecting on his mistakes in place, and would not give him a chance to speak at all.

Jiang Weidong knew all this, but Lin Xia didn't know it, and Jiang Weidong couldn't tell her and Old Lady Jiang to avoid upsetting them.

Before pursuing Lin Xia, he had thought that getting close to her would cause a series of troubles. When he decided to pursue Lin Xia, he knew that these troubles would come sooner or later, and he was always prepared.

Lin Xia didn't pay attention to the Qian family, so when she went to the Lu family, she talked to Lin Shu and her elder sister about the fun things about Old Lady Jiang.
