Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhuzhu turned around and went back to school for class.

Zhang Xiuhua took out a plastic pistol from her bag, which contained plastic bullets.

Li Jianguo was shocked when he saw this. "You didn't buy it for August, did you? This won't do! If this bullet hits someone's eye, it will blind them. It's too dangerous."

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "No! I was using it to scare the passengers."

She changed the current train rules. The train police are not allowed to go through, and they have to get on the train at the border line. To be honest, she is a little worried, "We waiters will have no protection. I think this gun looks real, and it's good to scare those people with it."

Li Jianguo felt something was wrong, "Is the passenger very dishonest?"

When he was a train policeman, most of the traffickers were overseas students. These people had good family backgrounds and money, and even if they didn't have money, they were well-mannered. But according to Xiuhua, these passengers were like criminals.

Zhang Xiuhua's eyebrows were filled with sadness. "Nowadays, there are traders of all ages, with a wide variety of occupations. Some of them look ferocious and scary. I feel like they are in gangs."

Li Jianguo was a little worried after hearing what she said. "If it's dangerous, you should stop doing it. It's not worth it if something goes wrong just for a little money."

Although I can earn a lot of money as a salesman on the train, safety comes first. What's the point of having a lot of money if you don't have a life to spend it.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to give up. There were so many dealers now, and she wouldn't stand out among them. Besides, dealers couldn't do business for more than a few years, and she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. "It's okay! Just teach me how to open a business, that's all."

Li Jianguo couldn't persuade her and sighed. It was a little funny to hear her asking him for advice on how to shoot. "This is not a real gun. It doesn't even have a safety catch. Just shoot it."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "Where is the safety pin on a real gun?"

Li Jianguo pointed to the location of the gun and said, "This is a toy gun, there is no such thing!"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded and didn't dwell on it. She put a nail on the wall, hung a piece of white paper on it, and stood at the door shooting at the paper.

Li Jianguo corrected her standing posture, "Three points are in a straight line. Only when these three points are on the same horizontal line can you hit the target."

Zhang Xiuhua fired a shot, which touched the edge of the white paper. She jumped up with joy, "I'm smart, right? I hit it right away."

Like a child, Li Jianguo shook his head and laughed, then went to work.

Xu Chunying passed by her house and saw her playing this. She was a little amused and said, "How old are you? If other children saw this, you would lose all your dignity."

She was really impressed that a grandmother could be so childish.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't take it seriously. "Who says only children can play with this? I think this thing is for adults. Only adults know how to behave and won't hit someone in the eye."

Hearing her convincing arguments, Xu Chunying couldn't win the argument and could only shake her head helplessly.

Zhang Xiuhua practiced at home for three days and then went back to work.

When the team leader saw that she had taken so much leave this time, he asked her if she was afraid of the passengers.

Zhang Xiuhua scratched her head. She asked for so many days off because the leader informed the stationmaster but did not explain it to the people below. So the team leader thought she was frightened by the passengers and asked for such a long leave.

She didn't explain, but just followed the team leader's question and asked, "How is the public security now?"

"Not good! As long as you leave China, it will be hard to control the passengers. You should pay attention to safety in the future." The team leader looked at her and said, "You are older, so you are safer than us. The prettier you are, the more dangerous you are."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to be relieved or happy.

"Be careful, don't act alone. In the territory of Damao, we only shout at mealtimes, not at other times." The team leader patted her shoulder and reminded her again and again.

Zhang Xiuhua took note of it. Although her age gave her a protective color, when those people got angry, they didn't care about men, women, or children.

Zhang Xiuhua was very nervous during the whole journey, fearing that some passengers would cause trouble. Fortunately, she was lucky. Although there were some passengers who made trouble, they were quickly suppressed by their companions and did not cause any trouble.

She didn't stay in Moscow long before returning to the capital.

In the capital, she asked Jidong to treat the director to a meal and thank him for his help. "How much red envelope do you think is appropriate?"

"The commission for the plane is 180,000 yuan. I think we should give him 20,000 yuan. I heard that the director's monthly salary is 800 yuan. 20,000 yuan is already a lot of money for him." Jidong smiled, "What do you think?"

Zhang Xiuhua felt that it would not be a good idea to offer too much, after all, her commission from the flight was only 180,000 yuan, "Okay."

However, Jidong felt that it was too early to treat him now. "You haven't received the money yet. Would it be inappropriate to send it over now?"

"It's better to send it earlier." Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that the director would get anxious waiting. He thought she was delaying on purpose. And she wanted to repay the favor as soon as possible, so as not to make Jidong feel embarrassed.

Jidong nodded and agreed, "Then I'll ask him to come to my sister-in-law's restaurant at 11 o'clock tomorrow? Let's book a private room in advance."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay!"

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua arrived at the restaurant opened by Zhenzhen, and Zhenzhen took her to a private room.

The director had not arrived yet, so Zhang Xiuhua asked Zhenzhen to stew the ginseng chicken soup first, and also cooked a few more labor-intensive dishes.

Zhenzhen knew that she was going to invite guests, so she didn't ask any questions and went out to prepare food.

Zhang Xiuhua waited for five minutes and Director Ji Donghe came.

After some pleasantries, the director congratulated Zhang Xiuhua and said, "I heard that the plane has been shipped back. It is a civil aviation aircraft. The military has studied the coefficients and transferred the plane to Sichuan Civil Aviation. I heard that they used the equipment and bought three more from Damao. They are all civil aviation aircraft."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised, "I didn't know about this yet."

The director smiled and said, "You have helped them a lot, and the higher-ups will reward you."

Zhang Xiuhua has not received the reward yet, but the military will not go back on its word, so she is just waiting for news.

She handed the menu to the director, and after he ordered his food, she thanked him.

"It's my duty. It's just an introduction. It didn't help much." The director told her to be polite and chatted with Jidong. He told her to coordinate well with the team leader in the future. "Aviation is a big contributor. Every step is crucial. Funding is limited. Your team leader was also a genius in the past. He is experienced. You should learn more from him."

Jidong poured tea for the director and humbly accepted his kindness. "Thank you for your advice."

Zhang Xiuhua listened to the conversation between the two and guessed that Jidong's work was not going well. At least his talents were not being used.

When the ginseng chicken soup was served, Zhang Xiuhua introduced it with a smile, "I ordered this. You guys are overworking your brains every day in research and development, so drink some chicken soup to replenish your body."

Jidong served a bowl to each person, and the director drank it and exclaimed, "This is so nutritious. I feel energetic after drinking it."

After eating and drinking, Zhang Xiuhua handed the red envelope to the director to thank him for his help.

The director quickly declined, "Wouldn't that be considered bribery? This is not acceptable!"

"This is a thank you! I didn't ask you to do anything else. Recommending the chief is an aboveboard thing, and you have done a great job." Zhang Xiuhua told him not to think too much, "It has nothing to do with Jidong, it's purely my thanks for recommending the chief. If it weren't for the chief, I wouldn't have the chance to get the reward."

The director couldn't refuse, but finally accepted it.

Perhaps because he had accepted the gift, the director felt embarrassed and repeatedly reminded Jidong not to be anxious, saying that one must be patient in doing scientific research.

Jidong nodded, "I will."

Half a month passed in a flash. When Zhang Xiuhua came back again, Jidong notified her to collect her bonus.

She met the leader, who handed her a check and asked about the situation in Damao.

Zhang Xiuhua told him everything and predicted, "It may not be long before the Soviet Union will disintegrate."

Two months ago, the three Baltic countries declared independence. This was a fuse. The conflict will only intensify, and disintegration is only a matter of time. Zhang Xiuhua's prediction was actually to remind the leader to be prepared, and she made her judgment based on the situation in Russia, so it would not be doubted.

The chief was not surprised at all and did not refute her involvement in politics.

The leader still had things to do, so Jidong and Zhang Xiuhua tactfully said goodbye.

After coming out, Zhang Xiuhua looked at the check, which was over 180,000 yuan. Even after tax.

She smiled and said, "This can buy two houses."

Jidong nodded and scratched his head. "Aunt, my research and development is still in progress. I'll leave first."

This kid is in such a hurry? Zhang Xiuhua was slightly startled, "Okay. You can go now."

Just as Jidong was about to turn around, Zhang Xiuhua suddenly remembered, "Is this the chance the director gave you?"

I took three months off before, so how come I don’t even have time to have a meal with her now?

Jidong shook his head, "No. I used the money you gave me to make a small model. I wanted to verify my hypothesis."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect that after giving him the money, he actually used it all on scientific research. This kid is sometimes very stubborn and he won't give up an idea until he hits a wall.
