I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ye Ming's achievement report ended with everyone's praise. From then on, no one in the entire steel mill questioned Ye Ming anymore. He successfully won everyone's trust and completed the task of taking the steel mill to a higher level.

That evening, Ye Ming took a jeep back to the compound where Old Lady Long lived. As he was promoted to deputy director, the steel mill had provided him with a jeep and driver a month ago. Although some people in the factory questioned Ye Ming when he first took office, he still received the treatment he deserved.

The driver, Li Yongqing, stopped the jeep and said to Ye Ming, who was sitting in the back seat, "Deputy Director Qin, we're at your house."

Ye Ming got out of the car after hearing this and reminded him, "Xiao Li, be careful on your way back."

"Okay, Deputy Director Qin." Li Yongqing responded with a smile and then drove away.

Ye Mingze walked into the compound.

"Ye Ming, you're back from get off work."

"Yes, Auntie."

On the way back to Long Shuhua's room, everyone in the compound greeted Ye Ming enthusiastically, and he responded one by one. Soon, Ye Ming returned to Long Shuhua's room.

Old Lady Long was resting in bed. When she saw Ye Ming coming in, she couldn't help but say, "My dear grandson, I asked Jingru to stew an old hen for you. Eat more and replenish your body. You have lost a lot of weight recently."

After hearing this, Long Shuhua's eyes were full of pity. Ye Ming smiled and replied, "Okay, grandma. By the way, grandma, I have good news for you. From today on, I don't have to work overtime. My work at the steel mill is on track."

Long Shuhua was a little confused: "Really? You are not lying to me just to make grandma happy, are you?"

Seeing the disbelieving expression of Old Lady Long, Ye Ming rolled his eyes helplessly: "Grandma, of course I am serious. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Brother Zhuzi."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Long immediately spoke to Qin Jingru who was doing housework nearby.

"Jingru, go and call Zhuzi for me. I have something to ask him."

Qin Jingru responded and then went out to find He Yuzhu, following the instructions of Old Lady Long.

When Ye Ming saw this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"Grandma, I'm your grandson, why don't you believe what I say?"

Long Shuhua sat on the bed, glanced at Ye Ming, and replied:

"Who told you to coax me before? You promised Qiuye and I to take care of our health at work, but in fact you still worked very hard and even lived in the steel mill for half a month."

"I have to ask Zhuzi to confirm it before I can feel at ease."

Ye Ming was slightly stunned after hearing this.

It turns out that grandma still remembers this incident.

Ye Ming was speechless for a moment. No wonder Old Lady Long didn’t believe him. After all, he had a “criminal record”.

A few minutes later, Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu entered the room together.

"Ma'am, I brought the pillar."

Hearing this, Long Shuhua nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to He Yuzhu and asked:

"Zhu Zi, I have something to ask you."

He Yuzhu responded:

"Ma'am, please feel free to ask me anything you want. I will tell you everything I know."

Long Shuhua continued:

"Zhu Zi, Xiao Ming just told me that his job at the steel mill has stabilized, and he won't have to work as hard as he has recently."

"is that true?"

He Yuzhu heard this and nodded and replied:

"Xiao Ming didn't lie to you. He really told the truth."

"Xiao Ming has been working so hard recently because when he first took office, many people in the steel mill doubted his ability to be the deputy director."

"Faced with everyone's doubts, Xiao Ming signed a pledge in front of everyone, saying that if he could not lead the steel mill to progress within one month, he would take the initiative to resign to his superiors."

"It is precisely because of the military order that Xiao Ming has been working so hard recently. He even lived in the factory for a period of time."

"Now, under Xiao Ming's leadership, the steel mill has made significant progress and has really reached a new level. Xiao Ming has completed the military order on schedule and in excess, and now the entire steel mill is convinced of Xiao Ming."

"So, Xiao Ming naturally doesn't have to work as hard as he did during this period."

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, Old Lady Long was slightly stunned.

Although Long Shuhua knew that Ye Ming had been working hard during this period, she did not know the details. Ye Ming did not tell Long Shuhua the whole story.

Ye Ming didn't tell her because he didn't want her to worry about him.

At this moment, through He Yuzhu's words, Long Shuhua finally understood the truth of the matter.

The next moment, Long Shuhua looked at Ye Ming, her eyes full of pity, and she spoke.

"My dear grandson, you have suffered during this period."

"Grandma shouldn't have questioned you. Grandma apologizes to you."

Hearing Long Shuhua's words, Ye Ming responded quickly.

"Grandma, you don't have to apologize to me. I don't take it to heart at all."

"Besides, it's over. I'm fine, right?"

Having said that, Ye Ming paused, turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, and continued.

"Brother Zhuzi, you haven't had dinner yet."

"Don't leave, have a couple of drinks with me."

Ye Ming invited He Yuzhu to drink with him in order to avoid this topic. He was worried that talking too much would make Long Shuhua sad.

Ye Ming knew Long Shuhua very well; her beloved grandson was her most beloved.

Once talking about what happened during this period, Long Shuhua would definitely feel heartbroken.

Ye Ming didn't want to see Long Shuhua sad, so he changed the subject.

He Yuzhu understood Ye Ming's intention and replied immediately.

"Okay, no problem."

"It just so happens that we two brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time, so let's have a good drink tonight."

After saying that, He Yuzhu invited Old Lady Long to sit at the dinner table together.

Long Shuhua witnessed all this, and the smart girl immediately understood Ye Ming's intention.

Her precious grandson was there to keep her from being sad.

Long Shuhua sighed and said no more, but when she looked at Ye Ming, a look of heartache flashed from time to time.

......

In the next few days, Ye Ming's life was peaceful as usual. He worked in the steel rolling mill during the day (because his work was on track, Ye Ming's work was no longer as heavy as before, and now his work was very easy for him).

In the evening, I chatted with Long Shuhua.

Although life is plain, it is peaceful and comfortable.

One evening, in Ye Ming’s courtyard.

Ye Ming lay on the recliner, looking up at the starry sky and muttering to himself.

"The matter of the steel mill has come to an end for the time being."

"It's time for me to serve in the C Army."

"Xiaobai has been in the army for more than a month. I really miss her."

As the calm words fell, the image of Zhou Xiaobai could not help but emerge in Ye Ming's mind.

Thinking back to the time he spent with Zhou Xiaobai, Ye Ming couldn't help but smile.

An hour later, Qin Jingru came to Ye Ming and said.

"Deputy Director Qin, dinner is ready, we can eat now."

Hearing Qin Jingru's words, Ye Ming nodded and was about to get up to wash his hands.

However, before he could move, the sound of crisp footsteps was heard.
