Returning to Yicheng, the whole family spent the night repairing.

Xiang Yisen went to the factory the next day, and Yu Qing also went to the store with a stack of red envelopes.

Not long after the couple left, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Hey, you have a dog nose, right?"

Han Xue looked at the upright man standing outside the courtyard gate, feeling satisfied and knowing that she should always pay attention to her whereabouts.

Zhou Aaron raised the gift in his hand, with a smile in his eyes: "You can't let me stand outside the hospital and talk, can you?"

Han Xue laughed out loud and stood aside: "Come in quickly."

When Zhou Yalun entered the yard, he saw Zhuzhu squatting on the side of the road to pry away the mud. He immediately showed what he thought was a loving smile: "Zhuzhu, who do you think is here?"

Zhuzhu raised her head and said in a sweet voice: "Grandpa Zhou."

"Hey, I didn't expect Zhuzhu to still remember grandpa. Come and see what delicious food grandpa brought for you?"

Zhuzhu noticed what he was carrying, happily threw away the wooden stick in his hand, clapped his little hands and asked curiously: "What did you bring?"

"Let's go back to the house. Let's wash our hands and eat something." Zhou Yalun took the lead and walked into the house.

Han Xue took Zhuzhu's hand and went to the faucet in the yard to wash her hands clean. "Let's go and see what good things your Grandpa Zhou has brought for you."

Zhou Yalun got some fruit from a friend and drove here after get off work last night. When he saw the lights on in the small courtyard, he knew that his family had returned yesterday.

I suppressed the urge to see Han Xue last night. I guess she got up this morning, so I came to see her with gifts.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

"Dragon fruit, a fruit from the south."

Han Xue took a red fruit and looked at it from side to side, and said with a smile: "It really lives up to its name, it looks like a ball of fire."

"Let grandma show me." Zhuzhu, who was not tall enough, was anxious.

"Haha, how could we forget Zhuzhu? Grandpa and grandma should not have done it." Zhou Yalun noticed Han Xue's expression from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she was not displeased, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Grandparents?

It feels good to call these titles together!

Zhuzhu got a novel fruit, which she had never seen before, and she was very surprised.

"Grandpa Zhou, I want to eat!"

Han Xue picked up a dragon fruit and asked, "How do you eat this?"

"Let me do it. You go get a ceramic bowl."

When the bowl was brought, Zhou Yalun peeled the dragon fruit and cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it in the bowl so that Zhuzhu could eat it with a small fork.

Han Xue, who lives in the capital, has never seen this kind of fruit before. "It looks like there are black sesame seeds in the pulp. Where did you get this fruit?"

Zhou Yalun peeled off another one and handed it to her, and said in a good mood: "Try it and see if you like the taste. A friend came back from the south and drove a lot back, so he shared some with me."

"It's delicious!" Zhuzhu'er looked around and heard Zhou Yalun's question. She nodded while eating.

Han Xue laughed out loud when she saw her cute look, took a bite and said, "It tastes pretty good."

Zhou Yalun breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you like it."

Han Xue said politely: "Peel another one, and I'll take it to Xiaojun to eat. He's doing homework upstairs."

Zhou Aaron glanced around the living room and asked, "Where are the twins?"

Han Xue pointed to another bedroom on the first floor, "The nanny is sleeping in the bedroom with her."

"Are you willing to hire a nanny?"

Han Xue gave him an angry look: "It sounds like we are so stingy. We have wanted to invite them for a long time, but we haven't met the right ones before. This time I went to the provincial capital and invited two of them."

Zhou Aaron clicked his tongue: "Now you can relax a lot. I felt sorry for you when I saw you working hard before!"

Han Xue: "."

She didn't expect this man to be so straightforward now, which made her quickly glance at the closed door. She didn't hear any movement inside, but her face still turned red unconsciously.

When Zhou Yalun saw her reaction, a mellow laugh came out from his throat, which was seductive and unconscious.

Han Xue held her face with both hands, feeling the heat on her face, stretched out her hand and twisted his waist, warning: "If you keep talking like this without any scruples, don't even think about coming in next time!"

Zhou Aaron rubbed the soft flesh on his waist and looked at her seriously: "I really felt sorry for you last year. I had to take care of three children after working alone at home. It was really hard!"

Han Xue felt very relieved, but she still said stubbornly, "I'm not alone, Qingqing also helped me, and my in-laws also spent a lot of time here."

"Anyway, you are the hardest worker!" Zhou Yalun smiled again: "But fortunately, she is good. This time I took the opportunity to hire two nannies at once, so you can relax a lot."

He hesitated for a while and finally asked: "Can the things we talked about last time be put on the agenda?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Han Xue became angry: "We can't wait any longer. I haven't figured out how to tell Brother Sen and the others yet."

Zhou Yalun told the truth: "If we wait any longer, we will get old and we will be powerless to face some things."

It's easy to think wrongly about this. Han Xue carefully observed Zhou Yalun's expression and saw that he looked serious again. Could it be that she was overthinking it?

"I'll send some fruit to Xiaojun."

Looking at the woman running away, Zhou Yalun chuckled again.

Catching a glimpse of Zhuzhu peeking at him, he ruffled her hair and said, "Eat your dragon fruit in peace."

"Oh." The thoughtful little eyes glanced at him again, lowered his head and picked up the pulp again and started eating.

After visiting several stores and giving New Year red envelopes to employees, they finally went to the warehouse. After finishing their own business, Yu Qing went to Xiang Yisen's office.

Xiang Yisen had just returned from patrolling the factory area. He saw Yu Qing sitting in his office chair and asked with a smile: "Are you done?"

"Yeah." Yu Qing turned her chair and said, "The workers have been on vacation for so long. Is there anything going on in the factory?"

"It's okay. There are people from the security department on duty. Now that we're done, let's go back."

"There seems to be a visitor at home."

When Yu Qing saw the green jeep parked at the entrance of the hospital, she knew who was at home.

Xiang Yisen didn't seem to be disgusted with this person, he just said lightly, parked the car, and led Yu Qing into the yard.

"Uncle Zhou, it's our first time this year. How can we ask you to help us dig the ground?" Yu Qing looked at Zhou Yalun in surprise, who was wearing rain boots, taking off his coat, and helping them dig the ground vigorously.

Zhou Yalun glanced at the dazzling sunshine and said nonchalantly: "The weather is nice today, but it's boring to sit in the house. I happened to hear your mother-in-law say she wanted to grow vegetables, so I helped her plow the ground."

Han Xue came out of the room with a teapot. After hearing this, she retorted: "Don't listen to him. You are so busy that you want to exercise, but you want to use me as an excuse."

Yu Qing was really embarrassed to treat her elder as a permanent worker, so she asked him to sit down and drink tea: "Yisen is back. Uncle Zhou comes over to take a break and chat with him. Don't be busy."

With that said, he took the bag from Xiang Yisen's hand and put it back into the bedroom with his own bag.

Xiang Yisen took Da'an from Aunt Qiu's arms, found a chair and sat down, "You don't have to solve the case today?"

Zhou Aaron patted the dirt on his body and sat across from him, "You can push back anything that's not important. People always have to take a break during the New Year."

Han Xue poured tea for them, passing one cup to her son and one cup to Zhou Yalun.

"First have a sip of tea to quench your thirst. I asked you not to dig in the soil and then come back to me. I asked you, are you born with a side bone?"

Xiang Yisen raised his eyebrows when he heard the distressed and affectionate tone, and then retracted his hand that had just touched the teacup without leaving any trace.

Zhou Yalun just listened happily to Han Xue's nagging. He turned to ask Xiang Yisen: "Are the employees in your factory going to work today?"

"No." Xiang Yisen grabbed Daan's little hand that wanted to cause trouble and said calmly: "I just went on patrol today and will officially go to work tomorrow."

Zhou Aaron nodded and talked about another thing: "The city is planning to hold a youth basketball competition between enterprises in nine counties in one city. In a few days, your factory may receive a notice."

“One city and nine counties?”

"To put it bluntly, it means that the entire city, based on the county, will compete among ten teams in the city."

Of course, before the finals of the ten teams, each county and city will definitely let the basketball teams from each unit compete first and select the winner before going to the finals.

Zhou Aaron looked at him and said, "Your factory seems to have a basketball team?"

Xiang Yisen teased the child in his arms and replied casually: "I haven't paid attention to this matter. I will ask the deputy director when I get to work. He is an old employee in the factory and is more familiar with personnel matters than me."

Yu Qing came out and picked up Xiao An, who was fluttering violently.

Let the nanny go to the kitchen to help Aunt Qiu and make lunch together.

"There shouldn't be anything going on with our company during the basketball game, right?"

Zhou Aaron listened to Yu Qing's words and chuckled: "It's none of your business. There are so many female employees in your company, why would you be allowed to participate in a basketball game? If it's a party, you might even be asked to put on a show."

"That's good." Then she doesn't have to worry about other trivial matters.

Within two days of Zhou Yalun's talk, Xiang Yisen received the notice from the city, and then deputy factory director Feng Yuchang mentioned the original basketball team in the factory.

This basketball team is not a professional basketball team, it is just a group of men who love playing basketball who were put together by the factory.

Their playing level cannot be compared with that of professionals. After watching their performance, the two teams failed to score even a three-pointer in the match. Xiang Yisen expressed doubts that such a basketball team would win the game.

He had no interest in basketball, so he left the matter entirely to the deputy factory director Feng Yuchang.

Friendship first, competition second. Ranking second, participation is the most important.

Feng Yuchang couldn't guarantee Xiang Yisen's bad attitude. After all, the team's level was obvious.

"Director, what are your requirements?"

"It depends on the situation."

Feng Yuchang was speechless, "Director, don't you want to give the team some encouragement? Let them fight for honor?"

Xiang Yisen asked back: "If I encourage it, can the team's level improve?"

Feng Yuchang: "."

He took a deep breath: "Director, we can't slack off on this matter just because you are not interested. We should treat it with a positive attitude."

Xiang Yisen raised his hand to stop him from continuing to persuade, "I will leave this matter to you. If you want me to pay attention to the football game, why not let me stay in the laboratory and study more engines."

This kind of competition will not end until May from now on. If he has to worry about it for a few months, it is better to kill him.

It’s too much trouble!

Yu Qing finalized the styles of summer clothes in the company, and formulated a promotion plan for the autumn clothes that were piled in the warehouse last year. The basic operation of the company was now under the responsibility of the chief manager.

After being free for a while, she began to work on the one-third of an acre of land in the yard.

"Qingqing, what do you want to plant in these vegetable fields this year?" Han Xue took a sickle and cut down the lettuce and cabbage one by one.

The remaining radishes were also torn off, washed and dried in the sun.

Keep some of the cabbage that was planted later, and you can eat the cabbage moss after a while.

"Pepper, eggplant, loofah, bitter gourd, all the vegetables that can be grown in summer, we will grow them as long as we have the seeds."

Han Xue didn't understand the time of year in Yicheng. "It's just the first month of the year. Is it too early to plant seeds at this time?"

"It's getting late. The weather here is almost ready to start farming in February."

Yu Qing soaked various vegetable seeds in warm water, and then used a flower pot to grow the seedlings indoors after they sprouted. When they were ready for transplanting in ten and a half months, the weather outside became warmer.

This year Yu Qing plans to plant a batch of peppers, eggplants and other vegetables in advance, so that she can eat the vegetables she grew earlier. Although vegetables of various seasons can be purchased online, and they are also listed as green and organic online, but can they be truly green and organic?

How many are there?

No matter what, eating home-grown food is reassuring.

After the soil is plowed, it is exposed to the sun for sterilization. Wait for the seedlings to grow to a finger height before transplanting.

Pile the harvested radishes, cabbage and lettuce next to the faucet in the yard, ready to be washed and dried.

After Han Xue washed her hands, Zhuzhu pestered her to eat dragon fruit.

She saw Yu Qing squatting next to the sink, preparing to collect the water to wash the radishes, and wanted her to take a rest first: "Qingqing, you are tired from digging the floor just now. Let's wash it after lunch."

"While the sun is shining brightly right now, I'll wash and dry the radish first."

In fact, if there weren't so many people at home, Yu Qing would have wanted to put these radish, cabbage, lettuce and lettuce into the studio and take them out when she wanted to eat them. How convenient.

Before the radishes were washed, Xiang Yisen drove back.

He entered the yard and saw the cleaned vegetable field, "You plowed the vegetable field today? Why didn't you wait until I had a rest?"

Yu Qing washed the last few radishes and threw them into the basket, "You are a busy person, how can I dare to work for you?"

Xiang Yisen glanced at Han Xue, who was holding Zhuzhu and watching his joke, and scratched his nose: "Haha, I can't help it, why don't you go to work with me tomorrow and treat me as

How about your special assistant?”

"I'm not the general manager of my own company. If I go to work as your assistant, I'll have water in my head!" Besides, what will happen to Xiao Meng if she goes?

Xiang Yisen silently asked Han Xue: "What's going on? You are full of gunpowder as soon as you open your mouth?"

Han Xue rolled her eyes at him: You don't know your own wife, ask me? How can I know where you offended her?

She said that maybe it was those days of the month that made her temper tantrums.

Xiang Yisen nodded: "Okay, okay, I'm asking you to be my assistant. You must have both ability and political integrity. You are the boss who controls the destiny of a company. I don't dare to let you come to my factory to wrong you."

Yu Qing replied with the word "haha".
