Just when the quartermaster was about to explain to Wen Nuan, Commander Xu and Political Commissar Li came over, followed by Gu Qinghan and Liang Guoan.
The already small office of the quartermaster suddenly felt even more crowded. At the same time, because of the coming of the big boss, the atmosphere suddenly became serious and oppressive.
Wen Nuan and the quartermaster stood up together and shouted in unison: "Commander Xu, Political Commissar Li."
"Please sit down. Don't be so reserved." Commander Xu waved his hand, motioning them to sit down, and said, "I just came here to have a meal with the comrades from the flight team and take a look at your factory."
Wen Nuan did not dare to sit down and gave her seat to Political Commissar Li, while the quartermaster gave his seat to Commander Xu.
The two leaders also sat down. There was an empty chair in the office, so everyone let the only female comrade present sit there.
Commander Xu looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Comrade Wen Nuan, you have unconditionally developed so many good things for the troops and provided such convenient food materials for the border defense forces and research institutes. On behalf of our border defense soldiers, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
When the factory was first established, it was to solve the material difficulties of the institute. At the beginning, he let the kitchen team play freely with a try-it attitude.
Unexpectedly, Wen Nuan also developed quick-frozen dumplings and various quick dishes, which not only solved the difficulties caused by the environment for the border defense forces and the research institute, but also created a lot of income for the troops.
In addition to praising her at the Spring Festival Gala, Commander Xu also said thank you to her in private.
Moreover, Commander Xu also heard about the warmth and provided the northwest border troops with the operating method of making down jackets, and Deputy Commander Shen also provided certain technical support.
With the precedent set by Deputy Commander Shen, it can be regarded as a demonstration for their troops.
Since Wen Nuan was paid for providing a down jacket recipe, and she put so much effort into the factory, how could they say nothing
Wen Nuan glanced at Gu Qinghan, whose eyes were full of pride, and saw that he gave her a trusting look, indicating that she should speak her mind.
Wen Nuan immediately stood up and said, "Commander Xu, you are too polite. As a military wife, this is my duty. And I am only doing my best. The real contributors are the comrades working in the factory."
Wen Nuan glanced at the document on the desk and said in one breath: "I think Commander Xu can reconsider the issue of dividends."
Just now she took a quick look and saw that Master Xu was going to give her 30% of the factory's net profit.
Now the factory is still small-scale, but if it really develops, just the surrounding border defense forces will have a huge number in the future, too many.
Moreover, the more you get, the more attention you will receive, which can easily make people jealous and calculating.
Most importantly, Wen Nuan also has her own plans—
She may not stay in North City in the future.
When Commander Xu heard Wen Nuan's words, he looked at her and smiled: "You are a selfless comrade. You have such awareness and are the pride of our Air Force."
"It is precisely because of your selflessness that the army cannot do nothing and disappoint any soldier or family member. Without you, there would be no factory today. So please sign this profit-sharing agreement."
As he spoke, Commander Xu placed the agreement in front of Wen Nuan. Political Commissar Li, who was standing by, saw this and handed her a pen from his jacket pocket.
Wen Nuan took the pen handed to her by Political Commissar Li, but she did not sign it. Instead, she put her pen on the agreement.
She looked at the two big leaders and said, "Commander Xu, Political Commissar Li, 30% is too much. I only need 10%, and the other 10% can be used to upgrade the factory's equipment. As for the remaining 10%, I think it should be distributed according to work to the factory and every comrade who came to help from the kitchen team, as a bonus at the end of the year."
After Wen Nuan finished speaking, she smiled and asked, "Do you think this will work?"
Everyone present was stunned, only Gu Qinghan curled the corners of his lips as he looked at his wife, as if he had guessed Wen Nuan's thoughts.
If everyone shares these dividends, naturally no one will feel unbalanced.
Those outsiders will not target Wen Nuan alone because, after all, these agreements are confidential.
And what Wen Nuan just said about distribution according to work means that how much each person will get at that time is still unknown and is also kept confidential.
Every employee in the factory can benefit from it, and the warmth will be supported by everyone. It is a win-win situation.
Commander Xu and Political Commissar Li exchanged glances. They had thought that Wen Nuan would not ask for so much, but they never thought that she would distribute part of her profits to everyone in the factory
The two couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure?"
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded: "I'm sure."
No one noticed the quartermaster's drooping, wet eyes.
Warm this...
Is this for the benefit of their entire kitchen team and the factory
This pie obviously hit her alone, but she shared it with everyone.
The quartermaster thought that he himself could not possess such a broad mind and such noble qualities.
The quartermaster couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for her.
Not only the quartermaster, but also Commander Xu and Political Commissar Li could not help but carefully look at the young, upright, gentle-eyed but determined female comrade in front of them, and gave her a thumbs up.
Commander Xu made the decision: "Okay, let's do it according to Wen Nuan's wishes. Lao Li, go back and revise the agreement tomorrow!"
Then, Commander Xu looked at the quartermaster and said, "Xiao Luo, it is your blessing that Comrade Wen Nuan was assigned to your kitchen squad."
The quartermaster was suddenly called, and the grown man couldn't help but choke up, "I... I..."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Wen Nuan."
Then the quartermaster stood up straight, raised his right arm vigorously, and saluted Wen Nuan: "Comrade Wen Nuan, on behalf of the kitchen team and every comrade in the factory, I thank you!"
Wen Nuan smiled at him and said, "Chief Steward, I'm not used to your seriousness, but thank you too. We are partners fighting side by side. It is with your support that we have the factory we have today."
Wen Nuan seldom saw such a serious chief steward. Usually in the kitchen, everyone was carefree and mingling with each other. The chief steward was always teased by Lao Zhong. The two of them were like funny people.
Here in the kitchen, everyone doesn't have a strong class concept, so Wen Nuan likes it here very much.
After hearing what Wen Nuan said, the quartermaster suddenly felt shy. Wen Nuan actually treated him as a fighting partner. This revolutionary friendship made him extremely excited.
He wanted to shake her hand, but before he could get close to her, Gu Qinghan flashed over and said to him, "Lao Luo, you're almost there."
The quartermaster touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "This is so exciting!"
Wen Nuan smiled and pulled Gu Qinghan's sleeve, asking him not to embarrass the quartermaster.
Commander Xu looked at the actions of several people, stood up, walked towards the door, and sighed: "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have let Comrade Wen Nuan join our army..."
Wen Nuan thought that she should give up. With her physique, she might not be able to do even ten push-ups.
It’s better now.
After Commander Xu returned to his office, he called Beijing and said, "Commander Lu, your daughter Wen Nuan is a really good comrade, she has your style."
Commander Lu over there was a little confused. What happened to his granddaughter in Beicheng
Why didn't anyone tell him
Commander Lu put down the document in his hand and urged with a smile: "Hurry up and tell me, what happened to my Xiao Nuan?"
Wen Nuan has been very busy recently and hasn't called him, so it was Gu Qinghan who brought the messages.
If Commander Lu wasn't busy, he would have gone to North City to see his granddaughter and great-granddaughter long ago!
When Xiao Zhang came into Commander Lu's office, he saw his chief smiling so hard that his eyes could hardly open. He kept saying, "Of course, why don't you see whose granddaughter she is?"
"Xiao Nuan is my granddaughter. If not me, who else does she look like?"
He thought about it, then immediately turned around and pulled out the most difficult document of the day from his drawer, intending to let Commander Lu handle it first.
At this time, there is no need to worry about asking Commander Lu to handle this most difficult matter.
Xiao Zhang silently wished in his heart, hoping that the warm comrades in Beicheng could get more good news!
Hehehehe!
*
Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan took Lele back to the family compound.
Wen Nuan felt a little unreal along the way, and even when Lele talked to her, she seemed a little out of focus.
Fortunately, Lele had hawthorn cakes to eat, so he didn't bother with Wen Nuan.
After walking for a while, Wen Nuan asked the man holding the child beside her, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
After all, it’s all money!
Gu Qinghan slowed down his pace, looked at her and smiled, then shook his head and said, "No, you must have done a lot of analysis."
Gu Qinghan was not surprised at all that Wen Nuan would do this. After all, with so many eyes watching the family compound, getting too many benefits might not necessarily be a good thing.
And Wen Nuan also seeks benefits for comrades in the factory. From a long-term perspective, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Gu Qinghan saw that they were almost home. It was freezing cold and no one was out, so he reached out and held his wife's hand, saying, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Wen Nuan felt the warmth from her fingertips and said with a smile, "Thank you, you are so nice."
When he got home, Lele turned on the radio and wanted to listen to the broadcast.
Wen Nuan took off her coat which was already stained with a little snow, and suddenly grabbed Gu Qinghan who was about to go to the kitchen, then looked at him and said, "Qinghan, come here."
Although Gu Qinghan was a little confused, he still moved closer. When he met his wife's dark eyes, he said with a warm smile, "Lower your head."
Gu Qinghan did as he was told. The closer he got to Wen Nuan's face, the more obvious the smile on his lips became.
"Lower."
"Lower!"
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan who was so close to him, and suddenly his heart started beating wildly. Just when he thought Wen Nuan was going to give him a loving kiss, Wen Nuan suddenly reached out and pinched his face.
Gu Qinghan let out a slight "hiss" sound, feeling a little pain, and looked at her in confusion with his dark eyes: "???"
Wen Nuan laughed happily, then held Gu Qinghan's face with both hands, kissed him left and right, and then said: "So you feel pain, then I'm not dreaming!"
"???"
Gu Qinghan was amused by Wen Nuan's cute look. When she was about to leave, he hugged her waist, pinched her palm with his other hand, then lowered his head and did what he wanted to do.
"Silly girl, it's true, can you feel it?" After saying that, Gu Qinghan lowered his head again and took that touch of delicate red into his mouth, gently taking a bite of her.
Wen Nuan was held tightly by him. She stood on tiptoe to respond to him, but he did not give her a chance to breathe and directly swallowed up her soft moan.
Wen Nuan had no choice but to reach out her hand, cling to the man's broad shoulders, and dance to his rhythm.
The cold wind was whistling outside the window, but the house was warm as fire. When Wen Nuan felt the restraint on her chest being loosened, and the warmth of the broad palm covered her heart, she twisted unnaturally.
Just as Gu Qinghan was about to take a step forward, Lele suddenly looked at their entangled figures and asked, "Dad, Mom, are you planning to have a baby?"
Wen Nuan pushed away the red-eyed Gu Qinghan with one hand, subconsciously covered her slightly swollen mouth, and denied: "No!"
Maybe I was too excited just now, and the words I said now seemed a bit coquettish.
Lele held his chubby face with both hands and frowned: "But my aunt said that kissing will give birth to a baby."
warmth:"… "
Gu Qinglan is a nurse, what nonsense!
Wen Nuan touched the child's fair and tender face and smiled: "Don't listen to your aunt, it's not like that."
"That's right!" Gu Qinghan, who was standing by, adjusted his breath and said, "Your aunt is just talking nonsense."
"Really?" After listening to his parents' words, Lele pulled a small stool over, looked at them, and asked, "Then how can you have a baby?"
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This question was not his strong point, so he chose to remain silent.
However, Wen Nuan squatted down, met Le Le's eyes, and asked her seriously: "Le Le wants a baby?"
When the little guy heard Wen Nuan ask this, he immediately reached out and hugged her neck, and nodded: "Yeah!"
"Really?" Wen Nuan picked her up and walked over to the sofa, leaning against her cheek, and asked, "Then we will live, eat, and sleep with the baby. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Lele smiled even more happily, his originally round eyes narrowed into a line, and he tilted his head and said to Wen Nuan: "The baby is our family."
Wen Nuan looked at the little Lele and was shocked by her words. Maybe the child heard this from others, or maybe she herself, at such a young age, had already realized the meaning of family.
Wen Nuan has seen many people who always like to say in front of their children: Your mother will not love you anymore after she gives birth to a little brother/sister, and she will not want you anymore after she has a little brother/sister...
A child knows nothing, she is like a blank piece of paper. Whatever you say to her or teach her will leave a mark on her.
Gu Qinghan folded his arms, leaned against the wall, listened to the conversation between the two, and slowly smiled.
Wen Nuan looked at him, then jokingly looked at Le Le and asked her, "After you have a baby, if mommy doesn't have as much time to spend with you, will you be unhappy?"
After hearing Wen Nuan's words, Le Le rolled her dark eyes and looked at her mother, and asked in a low voice: "Does mom still love Le Le?"
"Of course mommy loves Lele." Wen Nuan hugged the child tightly, held her chubby face which was a little red from the cold wind, and kissed her hard, "I will always love Lele."
Wen Nuan tells her child that she loves her almost every day. Although many people are shy about saying love, Wen Nuan is not stingy with this statement at all.
"Le Le loves mommy too." The little guy was overjoyed when he heard it. He hugged her warm neck, kissed her, and said with a smile, "Mommy is the best."
Gu Qinghan walked over, hugged his wife and child together, and said with a smile: "There's also me."
Lele was sandwiched between her parents again. Her chubby face was squeezed into a bun. She pushed her father angrily and snorted, "Daddy, stop squeezing me."
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He grabbed the little girl's hand, tickled her palm, and said, "You are biased again. You didn't say you love daddy."
Lele groaned twice, shook his little head like a rattle, and said disdainfully, "I don't love Daddy!"
"Hmm?" Gu Qinghan didn't get around her so easily this time. He frowned and asked, "Why? Daddy is not nice to you?"
Lele threw herself into the warm embrace and hugged her, then secretly glanced at Gu Qinghan:
"Because Dad, you can't have a baby..."
After saying that, he buried his face in the warm embrace again and laughed lawlessly.
Wen Nuan was also amused by the little guy. She looked at Gu Qinghan while hugging him, and remembered that Sister Juxiang had suspected that her man was not good at that...
Gu Qinghan stretched out his fingers and plucked the little boy's braids. This year, Lele's hair had grown a lot longer and now reached her neck. Wen Nuan would braid two braids for her hair every day, which was very cute.
Gu Qinghan said helplessly: "You are just biased."
Lele hugged Wen Nuan's shoulders, smiled, and whispered to her: "Lele is partial to mom, hehe."
She laughed warmly and happily.
Gu Qinghan snorted and didn't want to talk anymore.
The little guy knew how to read people's expressions. After knowing that Gu Qinghan was unhappy, he hugged his neck, twisted his head on his shoulder, and said in a baby voice: "Daddy is not angry."
"Even if you can't give birth to a baby, I still love you." Then the little guy stretched out a few fingers and said with a smile: "I love you 100 percent."
This time, Gu Qinghan was completely defeated. He hugged the little girl and kissed her on the face: "Thank you, Dad loves you too."
*
After coaxing Lele to sleep at night, Wen Nuan still didn't feel sleepy.
She turned sideways and looked at the man lying flat beside her. She leaned towards him and asked in a low voice, "Qinghan, I want to discuss something with you."
Gu Qinghan raised one hand and placed it behind his head. When he heard Wen Nuan talking, he glanced over slightly, then silently stretched out a leg for her to hold.
Then he asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Nuan skillfully stretched her feet onto the man's legs. Now her feet were not so cold anymore. She had soaked her feet before going to bed. Now the two of them were lying together, feeling warm.
Wen Nuan said "hmm" and asked him after a while: "Do you want to have another child?"
Wen Nuan spoke in a low, gentle voice, and her breath sprayed over him, like hair brushing against his ears, which was a little itchy.
Gu Qinghan felt her coming closer, so he adjusted his posture and turned sideways to look at her.
His eyesight was good, and he saw Wen Nuan looking at him with her eyes open in the dark, so he put his hand on her waist and said softly: "Wife, you should ask yourself about this matter, you are the one who decides it."
In fact, ever since Sister Guihua gave birth to a baby, Lele has been talking about the baby around them, and Wen Nuan must have had this idea before.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Qinghan held her close to his arms and said in a low voice, "You don't have to listen to Lele, and you don't have to care about what others say. If you think one child is enough, then we don't want any more."
Wen Nuan touched Gu Qinghan's face in the dark and couldn't help but asked him jokingly, "Don't you want to have a son?"
There are really too many people who favor sons over daughters. Even in the family compound, there are many such people. Those who have given birth to several daughters will always try to have a boy.
Although Gu Qinghan is not as chauvinistic as other men, he helps with housework and takes care of children, but he seems to have never expressed his opinion on the matter of having a son.
So taking this opportunity, Wen Nuan decided to ask him.
In the darkness, Gu Qinghan curled the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Our leader said that one child is not too few, two is just right, whether it's a daughter or a son, we will still live together in the future."
It's not like Gu Qinghan hasn't thought about it, but Wen Nuan never mentioned it, so he just assumed that she didn't want it.
Since she doesn't want it, then forget it.
Anyway, Lele is enough, he is so well-behaved and cute.
"Oh." Wen Nuan felt relieved.
Then she turned over, lay on top of Gu Qinghan, kissed him, and said slowly: "Then... why don't we have another child."
Then he whispered in his ear: "Don't use that thing anymore."
Wen Nuan thought about it and decided to take advantage of the fact that the college entrance examination has not been resumed yet and Lele will soon go to kindergarten.
More importantly, she is financially free now!
The factory's share of the profits was paid out every year. Based on the current income, even if she did not go to work for a year, she would still have a lot of money, enough to support her life in the family compound.
If the factory's profits continue to improve, maybe after a few years, I can even buy a courtyard house in Beijing!
Wen Nuan actually likes children, but raising one alone is too tiring and she never dared to think about it before.
But now she thinks it's still okay. If it really doesn't work, Wen Nuan will ask her grandfather for help.
Gu Qinghan's eyes were as dark as ink dripping out, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Really?"
Gu Qinghan felt a tingling sensation blowing against his ears. His body tensed up and he gripped Wen Nuan's waist with even more force.
Just as Wen Nuan was waiting for the man's response, Gu Qinghan picked her up from the kang with one hand, wrapped her in a coat, and went straight to the small room.
The cold wind was howling outside the window, but the house was hot as fire. The warmth was floating in the sea of waves, and I couldn't even tell east, west, or north.
*
The next day, Wen Nuan wrapped herself in a quilt and didn't want to move.
She lay on the bed, feeling as if her limbs were falling apart. Looking at the fine snow fluttering outside the window, she turned over and took another nap next to Lele.
When she woke up again, it was already ten o'clock. Lele was still lying on the kang. Wen Nuan quickly got up.
After she washed up, Gu Qinghan came back from outside with the child.
Wen Nuan scratched her messy long hair, snorted at Gu Qinghan, and said, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I have to go to Political Commissar Li's office to sign an agreement today!"
It was only seven o'clock when Wen Nuan woke up for the first time. She didn't expect that she had slept for another three hours. Even the little guy Lele got up, but she didn't know!
Lele ran to her side and said with a smile: "Lazy Pig Mommy is up."
"Mom, go eat dumplings!"
Gu Qinghan took the steamed dumplings from the stove and placed them on the eight-immortal table for her, then said, "Don't worry, Political Commissar Li has a meeting early in the morning. You can go there after you have eaten. It will be almost done."
He had already remembered this for her and asked her to rest for a while longer.
Wen Nuan was very busy during that period, until she delivered the materials for the research institute last week, and then she gradually became free.
It was the coldest few days since the beginning of winter in North City. There was not much work in the kitchen and the factory, so the quartermaster told her that she didn't have to go back every day.
The factory has also adopted a shift system, so everyone can take their time.
Wen Nuan was so hungry that she felt like she could eat a whole cow, so she ate six dumplings quickly.
But Lele next to him was still eating.
Gu Qinghan glanced at the plate and saw that there were still more than half of the dumplings on it, at least 16 or 17 of them, so he frowned: "Why are you eating so little? Are you full with just a few?"
Even Lele beside her ate more than her, so Gu Qinghan took the dumplings away and reminded Lele: "Don't eat so much, you only ate eight when you got up."
Wen Nuan has a small appetite. Generally, a man can eat more than 30 dumplings, and many lesbians in the north can eat 20 to 30 dumplings. However, she can only eat about 10 dumplings each time...
"That's enough." Wen Nuan wiped her mouth, tidied herself up, and said, "Let's go sign the agreement first."
If Gu Qinghan hadn't been watching her, she would have gone there on an empty stomach and signed the agreement right away!
Seeing her anxiousness, Gu Qinghan didn't say anything. Seeing that Wen Nuan had already put on a scarf and hat, he directly picked up Lele, who was still trying to steal some dumplings, and went out with her.
The process of signing the agreement was smooth and simple. There were three copies of the agreement, and Wen Nuan took one away.
Wen Nuan looked at the red seal on the agreement and her signature next to it, and smiled brighter than the summer sun.
"I'm so happy today." Wen Nuan carefully put away the agreement and said, "Let's invite Qinglan, Sister Juxiang and others to have hot pot together tonight!"
In such cold weather, it is best to eat hot pot. The kitchen staff recently slaughtered a sheep, and Wen Nuan bought some lamb chops back home, which she probably can use now.
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, and also felt his wife's happiness, so he asked: "Okay, how about I go to the kitchen and buy a big fat chicken?"
Wen Nuan frowned and said, "Why don't we go out of the village and buy some?"
Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "The ones raised in the villages outside are not as good as those raised by your kitchen team. I'll go to the kitchen team."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, then you go ahead. I'll go to the hospital to find Qing Lan."
*
At the same time, the workers in the factory also learned about the dividends.
After the quartermaster got the agreement, he asked everyone to sign it and submitted it together.
Some of the workers also worked in the kitchen. After reading the agreement, they couldn’t believe it. They could get dividends just by working
This is really unheard of in other places. Could it be that the quartermaster is teasing them
Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, the quartermaster gathered everyone together and said, "Comrades, the agreement you just signed was fought for by Comrade Wen Nuan. From now on, 10% of the factory's profits will be taken out every year as dividends for everyone."
The quartermaster wanted to say that these dividends were also taken out by Wen Nuan from her original share.
However, this matter cannot be said casually. Even if everyone is happy after receiving the dividends, human nature cannot stand the test. If one day someone feels that Wen Nuan has received too much and feels unbalanced, it will bring trouble to her.
While everyone was whispering, the quartermaster said, "But I must remind everyone that this is distribution according to work, which means the more you work, the more you get. If you get less than others, then look for the reason in yourself, don't be jealous of others!"
Everyone burst into laughter. Even if it was just a few more dollars, they were happy!
How could I be jealous of others
Besides, this is all free, just like pie falling from the sky!
Wouldn't it be better for everyone to hold on to the little money they have and make a fortune in silence
However, some people asked: "Where is Comrade Wen Nuan? Why haven't we seen her come back?"
"That's right. If it weren't for her, how could we get any dividends? I have to thank her very much."
"Comrade Wen Nuan has developed so many things for the factory and also fought for our welfare. We must thank her!"
The quartermaster thought that Wen Nuan had expected such a scene to happen. When he delivered the agreement just now, Wen Nuan had specifically said that she would return to the kitchen team in a few days, which must be to avoid everyone's enthusiastic thanks.
However, when Gu Qinghan appeared in the kitchen, everyone seized the opportunity and pooled their money to buy him a chicken, a duck and a goose.
Gu Qinghan originally planned to come here to buy a chicken, but who knew that Lao Zhong directly gave him three fat chickens, ducks and geese.
No wonder Wen Nuan asked him to go to another village to buy it. It turned out that she had already anticipated everyone's enthusiasm.
That's why I don't want to go back to the kitchen.
Gu Qinghan thought about it and decided to leave money for three poultry to Lao Zhong, then left as quickly as possible.
There was no way the comrades in the kitchen squad could catch up with the elites of the flying squad. They gave up after running a hundred meters or so, wishing they could grow wings and fly back to the warmth of their homes.
When it was time to get off work, Lao Zhong, Sister Juxiang, the quartermaster and Xiao Zhu sent a few more poultry and some mutton offal and mutton chops to Wen Nuan on behalf of everyone. These had been slaughtered in advance by the kitchen staff so that they would not be kept in the yard and give rise to gossip.
Sister Guihua had already finished her confinement. When she heard that Wen Nuan's house was so lively, she went over. Unexpectedly, they were all people from the kitchen team.
Sister Juxiang saw Sister Guihua coming over and quickly invited her in to eat hot pot together: "Guihua, you have been in good health during the confinement period. Not only does your complexion look good, but you seem to have gained a lot of weight."
Sister Juxiang was busy with the kitchen team and helping out at the factory some time ago, so she only came here three or four times.
Zhang Guihua said, "Of course not. Sister Nuan often makes soup for me, and my parents cook it for me every day. I stay at home all day in winter, and I eat so much. I am really a little fat."
"It's a blessing to be able to eat. It's cold anyway. We can't go anywhere, so we can just stay at home and rest for a while." Deng Juxiang looked at Zhang Guihua and asked, "Where's the child? Is he asleep?"
Zhang Guihua: "I'm at home. My mother was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she didn't let me bring him over."
"By the way, Juxiang, what are you doing?"
Sister Juxiang could never keep secrets, and she had such a good relationship with Sister Guihua, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Xiao Nuan won dividends for our factory comrades. We were all excited all day, so we pooled the money to buy her some poultry and some mutton."
Then Sister Juxiang explained to Zhang Guihua about the dividend. After listening to it, she felt that it was no wonder that everyone was so enthusiastic. Anyone would be very happy.
But after knowing Wen Nuan for a long time, I also know that she is really kind-hearted. She is not the kind of person who only talks big, but actually does good things.
Zhang Guihua really feels lucky to have such a good neighbor like her.
Soon, Wen Nuan saw the two sisters-in-law chatting and came over, "Sister-in-law Guihua, we are going to eat hot pot later, you can come with us."
Sister Guihua likes lively occasions, and she has been bored after spending the confinement period.
It was rare to have a party nowadays, so I agreed directly, "Okay, I'll come and eat later!"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Welcome. I'll make some chicken soup for you, Sister Guihua, later. It's too greasy, so don't eat too much."
Lele followed Wen Nuan and ran over, pulled Sister Guihua's hand, and said, "Aunt, let the baby come over to eat."
Zhang Guihua picked Lele up and said with a smile, "The baby can't eat yet. Lele, do you want to go with auntie to see your brother?"
Zhang Guihua really liked Lele from the bottom of her heart. She had taken care of her for a while before and loved her very much.
Lele laughed and nodded: "Okay, I want to go see the baby."
Then, Lele looked at Wen Nuan and Sister Juxiang and said, "Goodbye, Mom."
"Goodbye, auntie."
Sister Juxiang watched Lele being carried away by Sister Guihua and couldn't help laughing: "Lele really likes babies. You and Deputy Head Gu should just have another one."
Wen Nuan smiled, but was too embarrassed to say that she was really asking for it.
Gu Qinglan heard the two sisters-in-law talking, so she leaned over and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you and your eldest brother going to have a second child?"
warmth:"… "
She rolled her eyes at him: "What did you hear again?"
Gu Qinglan threw a peanut into her mouth and said with a smile: "Lele said that. She said you are going to have a baby."
Wen Nuan said calmly, "It hasn't even started yet."
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen to help.
But today her kitchen was occupied by Lao Zhong, the quartermaster and a few other grown men, so Wen Nuan didn't have to do anything.
I grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to Sister Guihua's house with Sisters Gu Qinglan and Juxiang to chat with them about gossip.
*
This year's Spring Festival came earlier, and we celebrated it in mid-January.
Commander Lu was not free this year, so he called her and told her that he would come to Beicheng after the Spring Festival.
On the 28th day of the lunar year, Wen Nuan received the first year's dividend from the factory, which was more than 300 yuan!
If the factory really develops in the future, the future will be promising.
Wen Nuan happily put away the passbook, planning to use the money to buy a 100-day present for Sister Guihua's child, and then a New Year's present for her grandfather, and finally buy some things for her husband and Lele.
After some planning, Wen Nuan took Lele and Gu Qinglan to go to the town.
Gu Qinghan also has to go hunting in the mountains this year, so he doesn't have time to accompany them.
But when he was leaving, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but pull his wife into the room, put his hand on her belly, and asked her, "Did you have your period this month?"
Wen Nuan thought about it and said unhappily, "It's not time yet this month!"
Ever since the two of them stopped using those birth control products, Gu Qinghan went from doing it twice a day to two or three times a day in the past two months, and he almost always did it.
Such a hardworking Ox probably thinks he can definitely make her pregnant.
However, Wen Nuan had her period as usual last month, but it’s not due this month yet.
She felt that she could eat and drink, and did not have any symptoms such as morning sickness and sleepiness. No, she had always been sleepy, especially in winter, so this was nothing different.
"Hasn't it come yet? What day did you come last month?" Gu Qinghan was worried about letting his wife go out, especially now that she was preparing for pregnancy.
Wen Nuan thought for a moment, "It seems to be... number 19?"
Gu Qinghan recalled for a moment, then said, "Could it be that you remembered it wrongly? Why do I remember it was the day of my night flight patrol? It seemed to be the 13th?"
Wen Nuan really didn't take it seriously. Anyway, if she was pregnant, there would definitely be symptoms, so she said, "It's only a few days, it shouldn't be that easy to get pregnant. I also had my period last month. Let's wait until the 19th and see."
Even if I were pregnant now, I probably wouldn't be able to find out, right
Wen Nuan wasn't sure either, but she really had no symptoms at the moment. Also, she had been busy with factory work and had stayed up all night many times, so her menstruation was not very regular, so she decided to wait and see.
Gu Qinghan subconsciously looked at Wen Nuan's belly, then reached out and gently stroked it, saying in a warm voice: "The road is slippery in the snow, so you'd better be careful."
Gu Qinghan is not free, otherwise he would go with Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled, raised her feet and kissed him: "I know, I will pay attention."
At this moment, Lele ran in without knowing when, and seeing his father put his hand on his warm belly, he looked at them curiously.
Then he slowly moved his head closer to the warm belly, then put his ear against it and said in a serious tone, "Mom, don't move."
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the child was feeling unwell, so she touched her head and asked, "What's wrong with our Lele?"
Lele smiled and said, "Mom, don't talk."
"Let me listen to your belly and see if there is a baby inside."
Wen Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "..."
See what you can do.
Gu Qinghan looked at Lele's quirky appearance and was comforted by her cute behavior. He asked her: "Did Lele hear that? Is there a baby in mommy's belly?"
The little girl looked over to her father with her big black eyes, and smiled so hard that her chubby face looked like a big round apple. She said in a baby voice:
"Yes, the baby has moved into the mother's belly!"
