Chapter 78 Test Report
Qian Lisheng looked at her in surprise. Director Jiang? Send him roast chicken?
What's going on?
Tong's mother and Tong Ailian next door heard it and immediately started to murmur.
Tong's mother: "Is his family related to Director Jiang? Then Qian Lisheng will be promoted to workshop director?"
Tong Ailian: "Didn't Lin Xia say that he has a good relationship with Director Jiang?"
Tong Ailian started to talk to the man again, asking him to prepare a gift and send it to Director Jiang as soon as possible.
The Qian family's dinner was originally very simple, just home-cooked dishes, fried with a little oil and stewed, but with the roast chicken sent by Aunt Jiang, it was much richer.
Qian Lisheng was particularly enthusiastic towards Lin Shu and Lu Dasao, and he kept asking them to eat roast chicken.
Qian's mother had no objection.
Lin Shu noticed it, but she didn't show it, and just asked everyone to eat together.
After dinner, Qian Lisheng said to Lin Xia: "I'll get some tickets, and we'll take my sister and sister-in-law to the movies?"
Lin Xia was willing, but movie tickets were hard to get.
Lin Shu: "Brother-in-law, don't bother, I don't really like going to the cinema."
At this time, movies really didn't appeal to her, she wanted to talk to her sister more.
Qian Lisheng was with them all the time, and she didn't have a chance to talk to her sister in private.
Lin Shu pulled Lin Xia, "Second sister, let's go for a walk, just like when we were little."
Lin Xia pinched her cheek lovingly, "Let's go."
She wanted to get a coat for Lin Shu to wear to avoid the cold night wind.
Upon hearing this, Qian Lisheng immediately said, "Then let's go to the Workers' Sports and Cultural Palace."
Sister-in-law Lu couldn't stand it and said to Qian Lisheng, "Brother-in-law, my sister-in-law wants to talk to my second sister about women's words, you old men should not interfere."
Qian Lisheng was immediately embarrassed. This sister-in-law Lu was too...
How could her husband stand her?
However, after being pointed out by Sister-in-law Lu, he was too embarrassed to pretend to follow her, so he let the two sisters go for a walk.
Qian's mother: "Lisheng, my eldest sister-in-law and younger sister are sleeping here today. I'm going to your brother's house. Please take me there."
The house where the youngest son lives belongs to the old couple, and Qian Lisheng's house was allocated by the steel mill.
Usually, she and the old man live with the youngest son, but this is to supervise the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest son to have children, so she comes to see them more often.
Qian's mother quietly put the half roasted chicken she had hidden into her bag and took it to her eldest grandson to eat.
Although this was the roasted chicken that Old Lady Jiang sent to Lin Shu, she felt that if the eldest daughter-in-law had a child, she would spoil and love it regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, so the roasted chicken should naturally be given to the child. Now that the eldest daughter-in-law has no children, it would be a sin for the adults to eat a roast chicken, so she would naturally give it to her eldest grandson.
Qian Lisheng rode his bike to send Qian's mother off, and Lu's eldest sister-in-law did not disturb the conversation between Lin Shu and her sister, but sat in Qian's house and listened to the conversation.
Lin Shu and her second sister were strolling downstairs. "Second sister, how are the results of my brother-in-law's examination?" Lin Xia
: "Very good, everything is normal."
Lin Shu: "Have you seen the test report?"
Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, he just brought it back to me the day before yesterday."
Lin Shu: "The day before yesterday? You two checked together, why did you bring it back so late?"
Lin Xia: "He was busy before and didn't have a chance to take a leave. What happened?"
Lin Shu smiled and said: "Nothing, my brother-in-law is fine, then you should pay attention to taking medicine and rechecking, you will have a baby soon." Lin Xia was
also very happy. She was in a good mood during this period because she went to the city hospital for a B-ultrasound and her infertility could be cured, and Qian Lisheng was also fine.
She and Qian Lisheng were both preparing for the exam.
Qian Lisheng's workshop was still selecting a deputy director. She felt that Qian Lisheng was capable, worked diligently and responsibly, and had a high chance of being selected.
Life suddenly became more promising.
It would be even better if Sanmei could find a good home in the future.
She thought that after Lin Shu calmed down, she would introduce a date in the city to her next year. It would be more suitable to find a date who worked in the factory and got paid.
At least she wouldn't have to be like Lu Shaotang, who left for years without going home.
The next moment, the news Lin Shu told her shocked her, "Third sister, what did you say?"
Lin Shu repeated in a low voice, "Second sister, Lu Shaotang is back, he is fine."
Although the official classification of Lu Shaotang's disappearance as a sacrifice, and also issued a pension to his family, only people in specific departments knew about it, and ordinary people naturally would not know without these channels of information.
Lin Xia never told anyone that her third brother-in-law was gone, not even Qian Lisheng and her parents-in-law, let alone the neighbors around her.
Every time Tong Ailian asked, "Your third brother-in-law hasn't come home yet? Your third sister is still alone in the empty room," she would curse back. But she
was very sad in her heart.
Now she heard Lin Shu say that she was still a little bit unbelievable.
Lin Shu: "Sister, it's true."
Lin Xia clasped her hands together and cried with joy, "That's great, it's great, it's really God's blessing, it's the blessing of our ancestors."
She cried and laughed, her voice was a little loud, and Jiang Weidong, who was passing by, was attracted to come over.
Jiang Weidong: "Master Xiaolin, what's wrong?"
Lin Xia wiped her tears and said embarrassedly: "Director Jiang, it's nothing, I was talking to my sister about our childhood."
Jiang Weidong glanced at Lin Shu. The street lights were not bright enough, but it was enough to see her face clearly. She was indeed bright and beautiful.
Jiang Weidong quickly looked away and left when he saw nothing was wrong.
Jiang Weidong strolled to the old director's house, but the old director went to the secretary's house to drink tea and chat. He went to the secretary's house again, and the director of the factory office was also there.
Several old comrades were playing chess, and when they saw him coming, they called him.
The old factory director said, "Weidong, come over quickly and help me play two games."
Jiang Weidong sat beside them and watched the game, but did not offer any advice, lest the secretary blame him if he won, or the factory director blame him if he lost.
The two old comrades liked to play chess, but they were not very good at it, and they would play a game until they fell asleep.
"Weidong, the second workshop needs to select a deputy director. Have you seen the candidates reported? What do you think?"
Jiang Weidong knew what they meant. He couldn't decide between Qian Lisheng and Tong Guoqiang.
The two were of similar ability, but Qian Lisheng was slightly better. Moreover, Qian Lisheng was young, hardworking and studious, and his learning ability was much higher than Tong Guoqiang.
The secretary usually didn't get involved in production matters.
The old factory manager preferred Qian Lisheng, but the factory office director preferred Tong Guoqiang.
"Tong Guoqiang's name sounds grand and patriotic. Qian Lisheng, you listen, it sounds a bit petty bourgeois and corrupt."
Jiang Weidong: "..."
No wonder you changed your name at your age.
Several people looked at Jiang Weidong and asked for his opinion.
Jiang Weidong: "We are a steel mill. We need to promote revolution and production. In the end, it all comes down to production tasks. Whoever is capable of production will be appointed as the director of the production workshop. Others with strong abilities can also go to political work. Don't we have departments such as the trade union and propaganda?"
The old factory director smiled and said, "That's right."
The factory director said, "Then Tong Guoqiang is not bad in production. He is also the production team leader."
He still didn't accept it.
The old factory director said, "Weidong, do you think he can do it?"
Jiang Weidong thought, you are using me as a gun. If I don't push it to the end, you will blame me for not working hard.
He said, "Comrade Tong Guoqiang's wife is not as good as Qian Lisheng's wife. Comrade Xiaolin is as brave as any man. She is now a second-level electrician and is going to take the third-level electrician exam. As the wife of Comrade Qian Lisheng, she has never received any benefits from her husband's team members. This Tong Guoqiang's wife is not as good as him."
Tong Guoqiang's wife relied on the fact that her husband had several apprentices under her, and always asked the apprentices to work for her and to show her filial piety.
Lin Xia never had this.
The old secretary nodded and said, "The family is a whole. Many cadres and comrades have withstood the enemy's guns and rain of bullets, but they can't withstand the enemy's sugar-coated bullets. The enemy's sugar-coated bullets have the fastest and greatest corrosive effect on family members, so we must be vigilant."
At night, Lin Shu and Lu Dasao squeezed into the bed in Lin Xia's bedroom, and Qian Lisheng slept in the small bed separated from the living room.
Mrs. Lu lay down and fell asleep, but Lin Shu and her second sister whispered to each other for a long time.
Lin Shu wanted her sister to find her brother-in-law's test results, but Lin Xia couldn't find them even after searching with a flashlight.
"I've seen it. It's the test report from the city hospital. It's correct." Lin Xia didn't mind her sister meddling in other people's business.
Lin Shu was completely relieved. Since her second brother-in-law was fine, that was even better. Her second sister's problem was not serious.
She just needed to be cured. Lin Shu said a few more words because she knew from the original owner's memory and the original plot that Lin Xia was not the kind of person who would mind her sister meddling in other people's business.
If her sister was devoted to her man and her in-laws and was not happy that she was meddling in her brother-in-law's business, then she would definitely not meddle in it.
Because Lin Shu cares about her, Lin Xia feels closer to her sister, and she also feels like she has a way out and someone to lean on, so she won't be left without anyone to lean on if something unexpected happens.
The next morning, Lin Shu got up to help cook, but Qian Lisheng took the initiative to go to the cafeteria to buy steamed buns, dumplings and porridge.
Lin Xia didn't find Qian Lisheng's report in the drawer in the outer room, and was a little puzzled. She wanted to ask him, but was stopped by Lin Shu.
Since her sister has seen it and confirmed that it is a report from the city hospital, everything is normal, and asking about it will make her brother-in-law unhappy.
After all, it is not a headache or fever, but involves men's privacy, and most men care about this.
In her previous life, she had heard a lot of gossip. There was a man in her hometown village who was infertile. In order to avoid being laughed at, he would rather let his wife have a baby with a donor.
There was also a couple who gave birth to three daughters in succession during the family planning era. In order to have a son, they gave the three daughters away and the wife had two sons with donor sperm from different men.
For them, not having a son is more deadly than being cuckolded.
It can be seen that men are very sensitive to this and are afraid of being suspected.
After breakfast, Lin Shu and her sister-in-law said goodbye to her sister so as not to delay their work.
Lin Xia also had to pack up their things and asked them to take back all the soy sauce and everything. As a result, she found that most of the sesame oil that Lin Shu gave to her second sister had been poured away by Qian's mother, and a bottle of vinegar was also taken away.
Lin Xia: "Forget it, I won't argue with her. After all, it was she who gave me this job."
The fact that her mother-in-law gave her the job was enough to make her be controlled for the rest of her life.
Her job was given to her by her mother-in-law. On the one hand, her mother-in-law was satisfied that she made more money than before, and on the other hand, she regarded herself as a benefactor and always wanted to control her.
In order to shut her mother-in-law up, she gave her mother-in-law one-third of her salary as a filial piety. At first,
her mother-in-law didn't want it, but later she felt it was too little, and it seemed that she wanted half.
Lin Xia would not give half, after all, she had her own small family to make a living, and she had to buy some supplements for her parents and buy some cloth for her sisters.
Life without children was worry-free and comfortable, but if she really had children, this salary would not be enough.
Lin Shu: "Sister, my brother-in-law's father gave the job to his youngest son. Did he give his youngest son one-third of his salary every month?"
Lin Xia: "No. The old people always subsidize their living expenses, saying that they have two children and it is expensive to support a family."
Lin Shu: "Sister, they gave you this job opportunity, but you have to fight for the job on your own. If you can't do it, you only make about 20 yuan a month at most, and you are still distributing newspapers and sweeping toilets. How can you be an electrician? Besides, you and my brother-in-law are a whole. If you work hard and make money, they will have less worries, and you can support them in their old age in the future, right?"
If Qian's mother saved the money to subsidize her eldest son's family, that would be fine, but if she uses it to subsidize her youngest son now, what does that mean?
Even if she didn't give her sister this job, with her hardworking ability, she would always be able to find something to do.
Hardworking and smart people will not allow themselves to be idle.
When the second sister has a child in the future, it will cost a lot to raise the child. Will Qian's mother still extort the eldest daughter
-in-law's salary to subsidize the younger son? What about the agreement that the eldest son will support the old lady and the younger son will support the old father?
Wasn't this the negotiation in the first place because the old man has a good job and a high pension?
They have already taken advantage of each other, so why are they taking advantage of the eldest sister-in-law through the old lady?
Lin Xia thought about it, "As for this month's expenses, I said that she needs to save money for medical treatment and to have children and raise them, so I won't give her so much for now."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Yes, you should say more sweet words on a daily basis. It doesn't cost money anyway."
She also reminded Lin Xia not to take those messy folk remedies, especially those given by Qian's mother.
Lin Xia agreed to all of them.
Lin Xia sent Lin Shu and sister-in-law to take the bus, and Yao Naiwen happened to drive over.
He said, "I calculated that you are almost going back. Let's go. I will take you back."
Lin Shu and sister-in-law Lu were very happy. They praised him and thanked him.
Sister-in-law Lu: "Comrade Yao almost died heroically the day before yesterday, and he still thought about us today. You are really a good comrade."
Yao Naiwen: "..."
Sister-in-law, there is really no need to exaggerate.
When Lin Xia passed by the cadre building on her way to the workshop, she heard Mrs. Jiang scolding her son there.
She cried while wiping her tears, "My grandson, your nephew, they are not even a full month old and they are urgently ill. I asked you to drive them to the hospital but you refused. How can you be so cruel? You are a single man and you don't care about us..."
Lin Xia couldn't bear it, "Aunt Jiang, what's the matter?"
Jiang Weidong hurriedly said, "Master Xiaolin, it's okay, you should go quickly."
He whispered to Grandma Jiang, "Mom, I am the factory director after all, can't you give me some face?"
Grandma Jiang wiped her tears, "What face do you want? I let you use the car and you don't give you face?"
Jiang Weidong saw Lin Xia looking back while walking, and quickly picked up the old lady, "Come on, come on, I'll send you a car."
He couldn't use the company car for personal purposes, and he couldn't dissatisfy his mother. He happened to have an old illness too, so they went to the hospital together for a check-up.
He first asked a doctor he knew to arrange for his nephew and his sister-in-law to go to the clinic for a checkup, while he went to see Doctor Sui to check the injury on his waist.
Doctor Sui checked him and said, "It's okay. It doesn't affect your male function or fertility. It just hurts when it's cloudy or rainy, right?"
Jiang Weidong: "It hurts.
It's okay." Doctor Sui: "Listen to your aunt, and get a wife to keep you warm."
The two were childhood classmates. Even though they were in their thirties, they still joked around. After all, they were not strangers.
Doctor Sui was not busy. While waiting for his mother, Jiang Weidong sat here and chatted casually.
Doctor Sui: "By the way, there is a very magical person in your factory. I must ask him for advice when I have the chance."
Jiang Weidong: "What's magical?"
Doctor Sui: "An employee came to check male problems. His functions were normal, but the energy quality was not good. He said that he might be too tired in those days and his condition was not good, so he hurriedly did it again, and this time it was normal. Don't you think it's magical?"
Although Jiang Weidong didn't know who it was, he didn't like to make jokes about his employees. "Maybe it's a problem of condition."
Doctor Sui sneered . "I am a graduate of medical school! Do you think I am a barefoot doctor who got in through connections?"
Jiang Weidong: "What do you mean?"
Doctor Sui: "The first time he checked the sperm quality, it was not good, extremely weak sperm, and it was alive and well after the second check? Are you kidding? This is obviously the sperm of two people. This person is very cunning. He immediately thought of a way to find someone to replace himself. Tsk tsk, he must want to deceive his wife."
He is not good enough, and he is afraid that his wife will know and dislike him, so he finds someone to make up lies to fool his wife, so that his wife can't blame him.
Maybe he has to blame his wife for not being able to have children.
Jiang Weidong's expression became serious. "Can you tell me the name?"
Doctor Sui: "I'm sorry, that's not possible. We doctors have professional ethics and cannot disclose the patient's condition casually."
Jiang Weidong: "Then tell me?"
Doctor Sui: "I just told you that there is such gossip, but I didn't say who it is. It doesn't violate my conscience at all."
Jiang Weidong: "Then can you tell me the time?"
He doesn't care whether the other person can have children or not. He cares about the other person's trickery and deception. This is the case between couples and families. What about work?
Cheating must be the norm.
He has a candidate in mind. After all, the couple has no children. His mother has also complained at home, and the couple has indeed asked for leave.
Doctor Sui said the time of the examination.
Jiang Weidong thought about it and realized that it matched the time when Qian Lisheng and Lin Xia asked for leave.
He had originally liked Qian Lisheng's promotion to deputy workshop director, but now he immediately blocked him in his heart.
