Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Ye Chuan was extremely concerned about his wife's pregnancy and never missed any necessary procedures prescribed by the doctor, unless he was away for inspection.

At that time, the waiting room of the obstetrics and gynecology department was relatively quiet, not as crowded and noisy as it was later.

He found Director Cai, who was doing the physical examination while chatting with him. "Xiao Ye, Yaoyao is in very good condition, don't worry.

Come for another routine checkup after the National Day, and go directly to the hospital when you are close to the due date in January." Cai Fang told Ye Chuan with a smile. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law." Ye Chuan thanked her. "There is no formality between our two families." Cai Fang replied with a smile, and then continued: "Yaoyao does not need to deliberately supplement too much to avoid gestational diabetes.

A daily walk after dinner is important and ensuring a normal delivery is our priority.”

As she said this, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

In those days of material scarcity, she often warned pregnant women that they needed to increase their nutrition appropriately. However, it was different for Tong Yao. Too much nutrition might pose risks, as international studies have shown the risk of gestational diabetes.

Ye Chuan had experience in two lifetimes and had some understanding of this. He nodded in agreement to show that he understood.

Liu Yue had some doubts: "Director Cai, isn't it often said that the more adequate nutrition a pregnant woman has, the better?"

Cai Fang smiled and replied, “Madam, everything has its limits, including pregnant women.

Eat green vegetables and whole grains appropriately, eat less meat, and eat more protein-rich foods such as eggs, tofu products, fish and shrimp. "They talked in the office, their voices were not low, and the pregnant women in the waiting area could hear them clearly.

Every face was filled with envy of what Cai Fang said, because every doctor seemed to emphasize the need for nutritional supplements, which made them feel that their own situation was worse.

They were all secretly sad: the comparison between people really makes life miserable. Sometimes, life is just so helpless and sigh-worthy.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Chuan drove his mother and wife back to the courtyard, and told them not to worry about the electricity bill and that it was fine to use air conditioning to keep cool.

Although Tong Yao did not gain noticeably more weight like other pregnant women, she still gained a little weight.

On hot summer days, excessive sweating may cause discomfort.

Liu Yue agreed to his request, being frugal with himself but generous with his family.

Seeing the two of them enter safely, Ye Chuan drove away.

Just as he was leaving, a figure quietly stepped into the front yard. It was Qin Huairu.

She took half a day off and bought two kilograms of pork head at the cooperative.

When he got home and saw Jia Dongxu sitting alone, his eyes were full of surprise, but he couldn't express his feelings in words.

Qin Huairu looked at him with a bit of disgust, and then started cutting pig's head in the kitchen.

Earlier, she and Xiaodang had some porridge and went to work. Jia Dongxu had not eaten yet and was now hungry.

The aroma of pork filled the air and he was drooling but he was so hungry.

Qin Huairu held the plate of meat and fed him with chopsticks, bringing each piece to his mouth.

Looking at that scene, Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last tasted meat.

He thought his life was hopeless, but he never expected that his wife, who had always ignored him, would pick up some pork for him.

Jia Dongxu opened his mouth with great effort, and the piece of meat with fat and lean patterns slid into his mouth. The taste echoed in his mind as he chewed it - meat is still delicious!

In a short while, the whole two kilograms of pork were eaten. "How does it taste?" Although he couldn't speak, Jia Dongxu showed gratitude on his face and nodded vigorously.

It was originally speculated that it was his wife and children who had a change of heart that gave him hope.

At this time, Qin Huairu stopped talking. After washing the dishes, she quietly returned to the house. She looked at Jia Dongxu quietly for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't want to meet someone like you again in my next life!" After that, she closed and locked the door, and hurried out to work.

Jia Dongxu then understood Qin Huairu's intentions.

But he could only endure it silently, unable to call for help or struggle.

There is an atmosphere of despair in the Xiyong Electronics Factory.

The factory director, Mr. Su, sat listlessly in his office. The two deputy factory directors were depressed and speechless. They faced three days of meetings together but still achieved no results.

Director Su also sought help from Ye Chuan and Wang Yifeng, but their answers were cold and firm.

He reported the problem to the district, but received no response.

Outside the door, the gatekeeper came over with a smile on his face to report, "Director, someone is visiting you."

"who is it?"

“No name was given, but from the car, it was clear it was a Jeep.”

"Please come in quickly!" the factory director urged impatiently. Anyone who owns a private car must be of extraordinary status.

Not long after, a slightly bald man about 49 years old wearing a white shirt walked into the factory director's office.

Director Su was very surprised to see the newcomer and quickly stood up to greet him: "Hey, Director Sun, what brings you here?"

Director Sun sat down calmly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, but did not offer it to the other party.

Director Su did not take this negligence to heart. He smiled and poured him a glass of water, then asked, "What can Director Sun teach me this time?"

After taking a puff of cigarette, Director Sun narrowed his eyes and said, "Lao Su, do you understand the recent situation of the factory?"

Director Su had already noticed the intention of the visit, but he did not hide it. He responded with a wry smile: "I think Director Sun has already known about Xiyong's troubles, but I can't guess what your purpose is this time."

"Oh, Lao Su, celebrities should speak frankly.

We are acquaintances, so let's not be too polite." He continued. "Director Sun, if you have any advice, please speak up."

Director Sun said bluntly, "Old Su, to be honest, you should know the consequences if the chaos you caused is reported to your superiors."

Director Su remained silent for a long time.

Director Sun added: "It was because I found the relevant leaders that the matter was suppressed until today."

Director Su looked puzzled, and was quite puzzled by Director Sun's actions. "Old Su, if I don't help suppress this matter, your position as director will not be safe, let alone Xiyong Factory, you understand what I mean?" Director Sun pressed on.

Director Su nodded in agreement. "It is indeed as you said. All terminal sales have been cut off. Product inventory is serious and there is no profit. Unless we can find new customers, we will not be able to hold out before the end of the year." He admitted honestly. "My business philosophy is definitely not a loss-making business.

Since I suppressed the matter, there must be some ulterior motive." After saying this, he stared at Director Su.

Director Su motioned for him to continue. This time he did not refuse the cigarette handed to him. He took a puff and then said thoughtfully, "Director Sun, what's next?"

"Old Su, do you know the situation at the Second Factory?"

Director Su nodded and shook his head slightly, saying, "I know a little bit. Your factory is in its heyday and is gaining momentum. Even the first factory is trying its best to avoid competing with it."

Director Sun smiled proudly: "We now mainly rely on two products: alarm clocks and sewing machine boosters.

The alarm clock is not only popular in China, but also has gained a good market share in the West, making a significant contribution to the national economy.”

Director Su looked envious and listened attentively. "In addition, the No. 2 tube crystal radio is also about to enter the mass production stage.

We have recently made a breakthrough in solar water heater technology, which can heat water without electricity, allowing ordinary people to enjoy bathing at home. "

Upon hearing this, Director Su stood up in astonishment and asked in disbelief: "Is this true? Tubular crystal radios are about to be mass-produced? And solar water heaters?"

Director Sun nodded affirmatively: "Of course it is true.

All these achievements are due to our factory's technical consultant Ye Chuan, and it is this person who has pushed you into the current predicament!" When mentioning Ye Chuan, his tone was condemning.

Upon hearing this, Director Su's face changed drastically, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. If Director Sun continued to belittle him like this, he would not tolerate it and would get angry.

Director Sun smiled softly and said, "Director Su, don't get me wrong. I had no idea when Brother Ye started doing these things. I only learned the details in the past few days."

"Director Sun, what on earth do you mean?"

"Oh, I'm not showing off, but I really want to share my troubles with you." The factory director looked gloomy and replied in a low voice: "Director Sun, I also want to find someone to talk to about this trouble."

"Director Su, you are over-judging. I don't believe it! Although our Second Electronics Factory is not large in scale, but with so many main products all of a sudden, our manpower and technology can't keep up with the pace."

Director Su Hu seemed to understand what Director Sun meant. "What do you mean?"

Director Sun crossed his legs leisurely and said with a smile: "In short, I sincerely invite Director Su and the partners of Quanyong Electronics to draw a feat for our Chinese electronics industry and create an adventure!"

Director Su seemed to be deeply hurt and filled with humiliation.

As a state-owned manufacturer, they have few customers while their rival, No. 2 Electric, is short of staff, which is embarrassing enough.

Now the other party is aggressively trying to annex him, which is really unbearable for him.

Director Sun noticed Director Su's expression and realized that he was about to collapse.

If he didn't say something more practical, he might make a move. "Director Su, don't get excited."

"You are insulting me to the extreme! Even if I have to give up my position as factory director, I will never agree to merge with you!"

Director Sun remained calm and said, "Director Su, calm down. You are not young anymore. Don't be angry.

When I finish speaking, if I am not convincing enough, leave immediately and it has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Full of anger, Director Su asked loudly: "Okay! You say it!"

After merging with Yongquan Electronics' 4,000 workers, the Second Electronics Factory may not seem to be very large, but its independent R&D and production capabilities have long exceeded the upper limit of manpower. "Director Su, you just need to merge with us, and I will leave Xiyong Electronics to you. Within three years, I guarantee that you will become the deputy director of the Second Electronics Factory, and then the Second Electronics Factory will be far ahead of all other electronic factories in the country!"

However, the factory manager was not convinced: "Ha! What basis do you have for saying that? Does 'falling behind' mean falling behind?"

"Oh, it's because... the radio production line we bought from the island country can produce a thousand units a day! We developed a solar water heater and have a technical consultant like Dr. Ye Chuan!" Director Sun spoke with pride. "A thousand units a day?" Director Su was shocked. "Is it true as you said? The production capacity of that line is at its peak. How could they sell such a treasure to you?"
