Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Deputy Minister Bai decided to let it go for the time being, but he was still a little unwilling.

"Jungguk, to be honest, I treated you pretty well in the past, right? Can you give me a definite answer as to when you will be free to help us develop the next steel rolling mill?"

Sun Zhengguo felt helpless when he heard Vice Minister Bai playing the emotional card.

At the beginning, Deputy Minister Bai was quite nice to me. If it weren't for Section Chief Huang's jealousy, I might still be working in the Ministry of Metallurgy now.

Forget it, it’s all for the contribution to the country, so just give him a thought!

"Deputy Minister Bai, let's wait for two years until the existing technology is fully understood. Then I will help you develop the next steel rolling mill. What do you think?"

"Really?" Deputy Minister Bai stood up happily and stretched out his hand. "Then it's a deal."

"It's a deal." Sun Zhengguo also stood up.

In an instant, the two of them held their hands tightly together.

……

On the way back, Sun Zhengguo kept thinking that the research and development work of this rolling mill might have to come to an end here.

Fortunately, the current six-roller model is sufficient and should be able to last for ten years.

Because according to his inference, Deputy Minister Bai should be the big leader in the original drama. It is really hard to say whether he can still work in the Ministry of Metallurgy next year?

After returning to the institute, Sun Zhengguo did not go back to the office immediately, but went to the construction site of the branch factory.

Seeing that the construction site had been leveled, the positioning and marking work had been completed, and the workers were digging the foundation, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but sigh!

"That's fast enough!"

When Zhou Weimin saw Sun Zhengguo coming, he also walked over from the temporary shed.

"Director, the workers are making very fast progress. I have just communicated with their leaders. They guarantee that they can deliver it within three months."

"Ok!"

Sun Zhengguo smiled and nodded. As expected of an infrastructure fanatic, he had already been involved in this matter since then.

"Wei Min, you just need to be responsible for supervision and make sure the quality and quantity are guaranteed.

In addition, during this period, you are also responsible for recruiting workers. We cannot wait until the factory building is completed before our workers are in place."

"I understand, Director. I have already contacted Director Qian of the Subdistrict Office. He is very supportive of our work and is willing to help us recruit half of the workers."

Zhou Weimin replied cheerfully.

In fact, it was Director Qian who took the initiative to contact him. You know, he has become a very popular person now.

Because according to past practice, half of the recruits are from inside and half from outside. You can imagine how much power he has.

Who doesn't have two poor relatives? Zhou Weimin, as a rural kid, is no exception.

"Just know the right balance."

Sun Zhengguo had no idea what Zhou Weimin was thinking. He just said something calmly and went back to the research institute.

Then he plunged back into the laboratory and continued his journey of paying off his debts.

……

The next weekend.

Sun Zhengguo planned to take Ning Xiaowei to the hospital for a check-up. After all, childbirth is not something that can be taken lightly, and a check-up would give him peace of mind.

At the same time, Sun Zhengnan also wanted to take Zhou Weihua to the check-up, so the two of them happened to be on their way.

After breakfast, they said goodbye to their grandparents, and the four of them got in the car and drove to the hospital.

I arrived at the hospital and followed the registration process. Since there were many people being examined, I had to wait...

At this moment, Sun Zhengnan suddenly pushed Sun Zhengguo.

"Brother, look, isn't that Li Xiuxiu? What is she doing here?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhengguo turned around and looked behind him. It was none other than Li Xiuxiu.

The next second, Sha Zhu came out from the corner, holding the registration form in his hand, with a look of joy on his face, and ready to support his wife like a dog.

But Li Xiuxiu didn't seem to appreciate it. She shook off his hands, said something unknown, and then walked towards this side on her own.

Why did Sha Zhu appear here? And why was he so happy? This all started from breakfast.

This morning, Li Xiuxiu didn't know what happened. She just ate a few bites and started vomiting.

The couple had no experience and thought that the child caught a cold while doing homework at night.

Later, He Daqing reacted and thought that his daughter-in-law might be pregnant.

So he hurriedly urged them to ask Doctor Hu next door to take a look.

But as luck would have it, Dr. Hu was not at home in the morning as he was seeing patients.

In desperation, He Daqing urged them to go to the hospital for a check-up.

That’s why the scene just now happened.

As for why Li Xiuxiu didn't want Sha Zhu to support her, it was because she was afraid of being embarrassed if she didn't get pregnant.

"Hey! Why are you here?"

At this time, Li Xiuxiu also saw Sun Zhengguo and others, so she quickly took a few steps forward.

Sha Zhu, who was behind him, was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after her, "Slow down, slow down, my aunt, be careful not to shake my son."

Li Xiuxiu felt a little embarrassed after being interrupted by Sha Zhu, and turned around to glare at him.

"Can you please stop talking nonsense? We haven't even started yet and there's an acquaintance standing here! What if...? Pah! How embarrassing that would be!"

After Li Xiuxiu's reminder, Sha Zhu realized that Sun Zhengguo and others were looking at him and laughing!

He was immediately embarrassed.

"Hehehe! Zhengguo, Zhengnan, what a coincidence, you are also...?"

"Brother Zhuzi, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are here just like you to accompany our wife for the checkup."

Sun Zhengguo's answer temporarily eased Sha Zhu's embarrassment. He happened to be standing behind in line, so they started chatting.

Li Xiuxiu was chatting quietly with Ning Xiaowei and Zhou Weihua nearby.

"That's great! Sister-in-law Xiuxiu, this is really fast. Congratulations! You will be a mother in no time."

After hearing what Ning Xiaowei said, Li Xiuxiu's face turned red instantly. She quickly grabbed her and signaled her to stop talking.

"Xiao Wei, keep your voice down. I haven't checked it yet! It's just a suspected pregnancy."

Zhou Weihua was a little bit unbelieving, "How is it possible, sister-in-law, Doctor Hu lives next door, why don't you ask him to take your pulse first, he is very accurate."

"Have you checked everything?" Li Xiuxiu asked.

Ning Xiaowei and Zhou Weihua looked at each other, smiled and nodded at the same time.

"Ah~! I really envy you guys. I felt unwell this morning and wanted to go for a check-up, but Doctor Hu was not at home, so I came directly to the hospital. I hope I can get what I want!"

Li Xiuxiu clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

After all, in this era, feelings can be cultivated slowly, and continuing the family line is the real important thing.

The value that a woman like her can achieve is to continue to expand her husband's family.

Otherwise, no matter how beautiful or capable you are, if you have no children, you will still be looked down upon.

Those people in the compound are living proof of that.

When Ning Xiaowei saw Li Xiuxiu like this, she could only comfort her in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law Xiuxiu, I believe that your wish will come true."

"I believe you too." Zhou Weihua also said.
