That night, everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting, and they were all very happy.
Cheng Muhai and Xue's father drank some wine and talked about their past experiences in the nitrogen fertilizer factory, and they were very emotional.
Dad Xue asked: "Have you still contacted the old employees? Some of them seem to be locals in Rongcheng."
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "It's been over twenty years, and everyone has moved and moved around. It used to be troublesome to even send letters, unlike now where we have telephones. It was too difficult to contact us, and we stopped contacting each other later."
Father Xue couldn't help but smile: "If we are free these days, we will go to the old place for a walk. I heard that the old factory site is still there, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Muhai said: "I don't even recognize it now. We have to ask Ayuan to send us to a nearby place, and then we can find it."
Cheng Tianyuan, who was holding his child at the side, responded: "I recognize it. Whenever you want to go, I will take you there."
Father Xue nodded and asked: "Is Xiao Ranran asleep?"
"Asleep." Cheng Tianyuan whispered.
Mother Xue came over and said warmly: "I'll hold you, I'll hold you. My good grandson, grandma, give me a hug!"
Cheng Tianyuan refused, and whispered: "Mom, he is big now. You have been tired from flying and driving for a long time, so don't hold him anymore. It's not too late to hold him again tomorrow."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Mother Xue hugged Xiao Ranran and smiled: "As long as I can hold the baby, I will never be tired."
Everyone laughed softly.
Ahu couldn't help teasing: "Auntie, my sister-in-law is going to give birth to a baby again, and your hands will probably be busy by then."
"I'm not afraid." Xue's mother said with a smile: "I will help as many children as she has, and I will do my best to help!"
Everyone laughed again.
Xue Ling was a little tired, leaning on a small stool nearby, drinking the sweet and sour soup specially made for her by Cuiliu, and chatting with Chen Lan and Cuiliu.
Cuiliu smiled lowly: "Sister-in-law Ling, fortunately Brother Ayuan is kind-hearted and allows my grandfather to help in his new store. He is very happy. He told me yesterday that he will continue to help Brother Ayuan."
Xue Ling said warmly: "Having him help look after the store makes us feel more at ease. It's just the Chinese New Year, but he couldn't go home for the New Year. We feel very sorry. I asked Brother Yuan to wrap a small red envelope to thank him."
"No, no!" Cuiliu stopped, "He has been very happy to be able to get a salary. He grows vegetables and land at home, and his income has been very low. He went to the county town to help my uncle and the others, but my aunt never refused.
I like him and my grandma. My grandma can help her take care of the children and help with housework, and her aunt will give her a good look. My grandpa is very unpopular. My parents are pretty good to him, but our family is too small.
, the younger brothers and sisters all sleep together, and the old man feels sorry for his grandchildren and dare not live in our house."
Speaking of this, her eyes turned slightly red.
"Now I live next to the store. Although the place is a bit small, it is warm and quiet, and I can have a brand new big quilt to cover me. He said he likes it very much."
Xue Ling sighed softly and said: "The old man has worked hard all his life, and he hopes to have someone to rely on when he gets old. Please try your best to help him more, and go visit him with Brother Chen Min when you have time."
Cuiliu sniffed and smiled.
"Yesterday... Amin told me that the air in the electric fan factory was not very good, and there was always a strong and pungent smell. He said that he didn't know whether it would cause great harm to the body. He hoped that I would not be there after the Chinese New Year.
I used to work and help in the store. It doesn’t matter if I make less money. Good health is the most important thing.”
Chen Lan on the side nodded hurriedly and smiled ambiguously.
"My brother feels sorry for you because you have worked so hard...and he hopes you stay in the store to rest more, because you may be pregnant with the baby."
Cuiliu shyly whispered: "...not yet!"
Xue Ling laughed and said warmly: "This is for your own good. Listen to him. The air in the factory is too bad. If you are pregnant with a child, you will definitely not be able to work. It is better to take advantage of the Chinese New Year and resign.
At work, I help out in the store. For my own business, the more I take care of, the more I earn."
Cuiliu nodded and smiled: "Amin is an honest person, but... he has always treated me well and thinks about me very well."
Chen Lan and Xue Ling also laughed.
Chen Lan held the new radio in her arms and stroked it secretly, filled with joy.
She asked Brother Ahu to take her to the provincial capital to buy this. The sound quality is better and clearer, and she will be able to hear Tongzi's voice better in the future.
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "Alan, how old are you this year?"
"After the New Year, it will be twenty-three." Alan replied.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "By the way, have you read any books? A lot?"
"Just graduated from elementary school." Chen Lan replied in a low voice.
Cuiliu on the side said quickly: "Although she only has primary school, her handwriting is very beautiful. Don't tell me, there are no girls in our place who can study. If you can graduate from primary school, you will definitely be good in our place."
Considered a top student."
Chen Lan laughed and said, "You can't compare, otherwise I will be shy."
Xue Ling whispered: "When you have time, let Ayuan teach you how to calculate and keep accounts. You may be able to use them in the future. It will be a good thing for you to learn more skills while you are young."
"Yeah." Chen Lan chuckled: "I can read the accounts...but I'm a little slow."
"Don't be afraid, the more you calculate, the faster it will be." Xue Ling patted her shoulder and said warmly: "Sister-in-law is optimistic about you!"
Chen Lan rolled her eyes and answered shyly: "Sister-in-law Ling, can I ask you a question...that Tongzi is already married, right? He was already in his twenties when he was introduced on the show."
Xue Ling shook his head and explained: "He is not married yet, and he said he doesn't even have a partner. I don't know the specific situation, but he is so good-looking, it is not difficult to find a partner. It is probably because his vision is too high, so he has never found a suitable partner.
Cuiliu couldn't help but ask: "Who is it? Good-looking? Better than Brother Ayuan?"
"Okay!" Xue Ling explained: "Tongzi is a talented young man in the arts, and he is a different type from brother Yuan."
"Yes! Brother Tong Zi is more handsome and handsome!" Chen Land said.
Cuiliu said "oh oh" twice and smiled ambiguously.
"It turns out that our sister-in-law already has a partner~"
"No, no! I just love listening to his show!" Chen Lan hurriedly stopped, turned around and ran away.
Xue Ling and Cui Liu both laughed.
The little girl is so shy!
At this time, Cheng Tianyuan came over.
"Daughter-in-law, it's almost nine o'clock. It's cold. Let's go back early."
Xue Ling sat up and slapped his waist.
"That's right, I have to go back. Once I sat down, I couldn't bear to move. After finishing the mutton, everyone was drinking and chatting happily, and they couldn't bear to leave."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly came over and held her arm.
Cuiliu stood up with a smile, "If you don't want to leave, then let's all stay! We'll rest here tonight."
"It's not far, just a few steps away." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "This is the benefit of living close by."
Cuiliu was filled with envy and whispered: "The environment over at Wangjiang Garden is really nice. I heard that you can see the river view from home - it's great!"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "The second phase is already under construction. Please ask Brother Amin to save money and buy a big one by then."
"It's wide enough here." Cuiliu chuckled: "I...I can't be too greedy. I'm afraid he will be under too much pressure."
"Oh! She is indeed a good wife! It's so rare to feel so sorry for your husband!" Xue Ling teased her.
Cuiliu blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "He is good to me, so I...naturally want to be good to him."
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan looked at each other and narrowed their eyes with smiles.
