Yu Sui hummed in anger and endured another full day.
On the afternoon of the third day, Yu Sui had already comforted herself and no longer worried about Xia Linsheng, but Sister Yan Zi ran from outside into the sample workshop where Yu Sui was.
She stood at the door and called out, "Yu Sui."
Yu Sui immediately went over and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with Xia Lin?"
Sister Yan Zi looked at her frightened expression and burst out laughing:
"What's up, Xia Linsheng? I just came to tell you that last time, our supply and marketing cooperative reported the antifreeze plaster to the Northern Military Region Headquarters. The headquarters did some research and found that everyone said it was effective, so they wanted to purchase it as military supplies. Now they need to report the formula for verification. I came to ask you this. Why did you think of Xia Linsheng?"
This is great news, but Yu Sui is not very excited. She said:
"Ah, it's because Xia Linsheng didn't come during his break. I asked someone to call him, and he said that there was something urgent going on with the company, so he was on a mission and couldn't come. But he hasn't called me in so many days, and I'm a little worried."
Sister Yan Zi looked at her with a smile:
"I see. Well, I don't worry either. Don't worry. I was just like that when my husband, Fang, was assigned to the company. I missed him so much that I couldn't eat or sleep. A few days later, when he came back well, I couldn't wait to tickle him. But after so many times, I got used to it. If I tickled him more, I'd understand."
This is the uniqueness of being a soldier. Imagine a situation on the border, and you need to be called out for duty. Who has the time to call their family first? In the eyes of a soldier, country comes before family. Only then is the uniform worthy! And since we are military wives, we must be like our husbands: we must put country first, then our husbands.
I know this is easier said than done. My husband is out, so he can't take care of anything at home. How can I, as a family member, not feel resentful? Right? So what should I do? Later, I summed up a rule of thumb: to keep myself busy. I learned to find things to do. He can protect the country, and I can work hard, too. We're both contributing to the country, so who's afraid of who? Even when he's on vacation, he still has to wait for me to be free. I'll let him have a taste of what it's like to wait for me, hahaha!"
Sister Yanzi laughed heartily while she spoke. Seeing that Yu Sui's expression was not as angry as at the beginning, she added:
"I see you're also someone who refuses to admit defeat. So, we always say women hold up half the sky, but how do you do that? Is crying and begging for men to accompany you every day considered holding up half the sky? Is blocking him from doing anything considered holding up half the sky? No, let the men stand at the front without worry, while we stand firm and guard the rear. That's what holding up half the sky is!"
Yu Sui looked at Sister Yan Zi.
A woman in her forties may not have a beautiful face, but the light in her eyes still makes her radiant and charming.
Yu Sui was still quite touched.
This generation of women is so selfless, and Sister Yan Zi is truly a great military wife.
It seems she can't be so selfless or so great.
Sister Yan Zi said so much, but in her heart, she still wanted to wait for Xia Lin to be born and then tickle him a few times.
However, she was still willing to contribute to the country. Since the antifreeze plaster had become a military supply, the formula had to be improved.
Yu Sui nodded and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, I understand. Since he's busy for the moment, I'll be busy too. I'll improve the formula of the antifreeze cream right away, and I'll get the sample ingredients for you right away."
"You're such a smart and capable girl. You know what I want as soon as I tell you. Okay, don't worry too much. My husband isn't home these days, otherwise I would have asked him for you."
"Captain Fang isn't here either?"
"Well, he's in a meeting with Captain Ding and the others at the military headquarters. I'll ask for you as soon as he gets here."
"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."
In any case, with Sister Yan Zi's interruption, Yu Sui was indeed not as worried about Xia Linsheng as she was at the beginning.
The next day, Yu Sui was wondering if Sister Yan Zi would come to her tomorrow to tell her about Xia Lin's incident, when the factory PA started shouting, "Yu Sui, there's a call for you. Come to the factory office."
Yu Sui immediately dropped the work at hand and ran to the office.
Seeing the telephone lying on the table in the office, he picked it up as if it were a treasure and said, "Hello!"
On the other end of the line, there was indeed a cheerful male voice: "Hello, is this Captain Xia's sister-in-law? I'm Han Duomi!"
Yu Sui: "..." I think you should stop meddling in other people's business.
Why is it you again?
Yu Sui didn't respond for a moment.
Han Duomi was quite excited and shouted loudly on the other end of the phone: "Sister-in-law, can you come to the family compound now? I'll take you to the military headquarters. Hey, are you up?"
Yu Sui then asked, "What for?"
"That cooling water, that ethylene glycol thing you have, wow, it's amazing, it never freezes! Just yesterday, when we were sending the regimental commander and his men to a meeting at headquarters, they started up and drove right away, without even having to drain or refill the water tank, or preheat anything. Then I told everyone in the other regimental divisions about it, and everyone was envious and wanted one. There was even an orderly who drove for the brigade commander and told him, 'Wow, the transport company at headquarters wants this too!' They told the brigade commander to ask me for it, saying that if the entire fleet used this, it would save a lot of trouble and money. I couldn't hold it in, so I gave you away, you see..."
Han Duomi said this and then he paused.
Yu Sui: "What are you looking at? I have work to do right now. Besides, Xia Lin's father hasn't given birth yet, so I don't have the heart to think about him."
"No, sister-in-law, if you can do this well, what job will our superiors definitely assign you a job!"
"Really? I really can arrange a job here."
“I think it’s possible!”
"What do you think? You're not the leader."
"Well... since I've already told you about it, why don't you come over and talk about it?"
Yu Sui certainly knew this.
Moreover, when she was preparing this drink for Han Duomi, she had already foreseen that this situation might occur.
A long time ago, she learned some history of antifreeze from her grandfather. In fact, this thing has been available in foreign countries for a long time, but China is in a special period. There are almost no private cars, and most of the public cars are used for transportation operations. High-end maintenance is not encouraged. For example, in the army, it is driven by soldiers, and they just add water and drain it. No one wants to care about the details of antifreeze.
Since she was able to develop such a thing that makes vehicle use more convenient, it will definitely be popular.
So at this time, it is appropriate to mention the conditions.
Been waiting for this moment!
