Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

Zhang Yuling felt that Wang Jianqiang's words and actions today were a little unusual. Logically, he came to see her for something, but he didn't say what it was. He walked in a mysterious way, as if they had returned to the time when they were in love.

She had a strange and subtle feeling in her heart, as if she had returned to a time full of passion and expectation.

"Yuling, guess what surprise I brought you?" Wang Jianqiang took out clothes from his bag and asked with an admiring look.

However, Zhang Yuling was not in the mood to entertain him at this time. Her stomach was upset, and she was already feeling uncomfortable after walking such a long distance.

The only way to deal with his boastful reaction is to laugh it off.

Although Wang Jianqiang is very impressive in front of outsiders, he is more like a child when facing her.

As in the current situation, a few words of compliment are needed to maintain superficial happiness.

"Ah! Where did you get it from?" Zhang Yuling opened the bag casually and took a look, then asked in surprise.

"It was given by Haoyun, come and try it!" Wang Jianqiang explained patiently.

"How could this person be like this? He didn't know that our Hao Yun's wife had a baby recently, but he still gave you these things and you dared to accept them?"

Zhang Yuling said a little unhappily.

"Obviously, in the eyes of others, you are still a person who doesn't quite understand things," Wang Jianqiang looked at Zhang Yuling, feeling a little helpless.

"What if I told you this? He has got flour and cornmeal by special means now! The price is a little higher, and he said he would bring some to us in the evening.

"

“Is it true?” Zhang Yuling asked curiously.

“Yes, try it.

"Wang Jianqiang responded loudly.

"Leave some for the children! This is made of fine flour.

"

“No problem, just wait until it’s delivered in the evening and then eat it.

How long have you not eaten fine food? Besides, you said you felt a little uncomfortable this morning.

"

“Then…then you should eat something.

"Zhang Yuling also took a bite of bread and chewed it hard towards Wang Jianqiang.

"I just ate two pure cornmeal cakes myself, also made by Hao Yun. Come and try them, you're welcome!"

Watching Zhang Yuling chewing bread reminded Wang Jianqiang of their sweet first meeting.

The original tension and irritability also disappeared.

Over the years, the two have always been around their children and have long been accustomed to having a close family-like relationship with each other. Such a warm moment is rare.

Wang Jianqiang and Zhang Yuling are already in their thirties and are mothers of two young children respectively.

For two loaves of bread, a touch of romance is quietly added to the dull life.

But this just reveals that life is like this - there are emotional stories hidden in the little everyday things.

Perhaps it is these seemingly inadvertent things that have become the core of the two people's precious memories.

Sometimes, it is these little things that can profoundly affect a person's life.

Jia Haoyun was busy almost the entire afternoon, preparing everything he could think of.

He still made a special visit to the factory director's office and asked about things that needed to be paid attention to during the trip to ensure that everything was prepared.

There were only four of us on this trip, and although the car was not big, they did not feel crowded.

In order to meet the need to set off the next morning, he first went to the unit, then met up with two technicians and drove directly to the factory director's home.

According to the factory director's request, Jia Haoyun first obtained a letter of recommendation and withdrew the consumption funds and daily ticket documents from the finance department.

Otherwise, if you arrive in Harbin, you may not even be able to stay in a hotel due to the lack of these basic items.

The factory manager is still full of uncertainty about the other party's attitude and situation.

The outcome of this trip is still unknown, but this mission is of vital importance and involves many matters from the superiors.

The factory director will not tell Jia Haoyun about this matter.

This means that obtaining the "special steel" technology from Jia Haoyun's trip is not as simple as it seems.

After obtaining the factory director's permission, everything was quickly arranged. Even colleagues in the office who were familiar with him in finance jokingly asked him to bring some local specialties.

They were familiar with Jia Haoyun and knew that he was a generous person. Although they did not insist on specific specialties, it was just his way of expressing his closeness to others in a cordial and friendly way.

At night, Jia Haoyun came to his master's residence quietly and brought a bag of white flour and corn as a gift.

Considering that both the master and his father Wang Dongsheng had indigestion problems, he specially prepared two small bottles of sesame oil, which would not only improve the taste of the cooking but also help with bowel movements.

So this gift had an additional use, allowing the master to bring a bottle of fragrant oil for Wang Dongsheng.

Wang Jianqiang was extremely excited to hear the news. After all, if he added a little bit of these precious sesame oils to dishes every day, they could improve the taste of the dishes and also greatly reduce the discomfort when going to the toilet.

For Wang Jianqiang and his wife, the price of such sesame oil is already quite high.

They happily accepted the monetary offer from their apprentice. Although the gesture was sincere enough and the price was quite high, due to the lack of experience in similar commodity transactions, Wang Jianqiang was still uncertain about the actual market price.

If calculated based on the given price, its potential value could be several times what it is now.

In short, this price is relatively low, but it is precisely for the purpose of giving the master peace of mind.

Because in this day and age, money cannot be used to buy things at any time, especially some precious commodities are difficult to obtain through currency.

After returning home, Qin Huairu was packing his luggage.

As for how long this journey will take, Jia Haoyun doesn't know the exact answer.

However, unlike last time, this trip should be faster and the route should be safer and more reliable.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu, who recovered well after giving birth, resumed work yesterday.

Although Jia Haoyun was a little worried about this matter, because he felt that the intensity of her work plus the care of her mother, Lady Jia, might put her under a lot of pressure; he even considered applying for more leave if finances permitted.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected by Qin Huairu, and Grandmother Jia was also not satisfied with his suggestion and gave him some looks that implied dissatisfaction.

In real life, it is difficult for men to pamper women so much, especially during the confinement period, when almost no one is willing to rest for a long time.

The responsibility of caring for the baby should be shared by the grandparents, and when the child is hungry, he or she can be brought to the wife for supplemental feeding.

Even so, no other family could treat them as well as they did. People of that era didn't have such excessive demands. Even if they lived a wealthy life, they would not necessarily be as particular as modern people.

Indeed, in this era, even if the living standards are improved, they will still not catch up with the future era.

Faced with this situation, although Jia Haoyun did not want to say too many accusatory words, he still made a small wooden cart the night before, hoping to provide some convenience and support.

Today he found a few small rollers from his workplace and prepared to put them into the cart. Tomorrow, Grandmother Jia could use the cart and push the child to find Qin Huairu in order to complete her work.

In the silence before dawn, Jia Haoyun gently smoothed Qin Huairu's quilt, carefully stroked the child's cute face, and observed the baby's fingers moving slightly due to slight discomfort on her face.

Realizing that if the child wakes up, it will cause great trouble to Qin Huairu who is taking care of her.

However, even so, Qin Huairu still had to get up many times throughout the night, and she had to return to bed again and again to take care of the child.

People can't help but sigh at the difficulty of the family burden borne by women, especially when it comes to raising and educating children, women often have to put in more energy and effort than men.

When he stepped into the gate of the unit, two technicians were already waiting there patiently, each carrying a heavy backpack and ready to set off.

Although this visit did not feel later than usual, for the two rigorous and serious technicians, it was customary to arrive earlier in time.

This short story reveals the efforts made by women and the understanding and support of men in contemporary families, and emphasizes the importance of a harmonious and supportive family atmosphere.

Whether it is the small act of making a wooden cart or the various care and concerns in daily life, they all demonstrate an attitude and practice of respecting and supporting one's partner's career, which is particularly precious and rare in the context of modern society.

Therefore, Jia Haoyun's arrival was not much earlier than that of others, and for his two mentors, Jia Haoyun's action did not attract their attention.

Jia Haoyun brought two technical masters with him this time: one was named Li Wei, who was relatively older; the other was named Zhou Zheng.

Both of them are well-known technicians in the factory.

They came wearing old pedantic glasses and a scholarly demeanor.

Last time, the proportions of "special steel" were developed by these two people, although the final product was slightly inferior to the quality produced by the Dongzhou Steel Plant.

With this background, they traveled to their destination in East City with the real intention of learning and discussing - eager to absorb the knowledge there.

When he arrived at the general manager's house, Jia Haoyun chose to wait quietly. Considering that there were two technical engineers accompanying him, he no longer broke into the general manager's house directly as he did in the past.

Besides, would it be embarrassing to go to someone else's house at such an early hour? There is no need to knock on the door to urge them, the noise made by the small car is enough to attract the attention of the residents.

Sure enough, not long after waiting, the general manager came out, followed by his wife and his cute little daughter, Tongtong.

Tongtong was the first to notice Jia Haoyun's arrival, and ran towards him impatiently, stretching out her arms to express her desire to be hugged.

How could Jia Haoyun let such lovely girls feel lost?

After holding Tongtong, he turned around a few times in a funny way, making the little girl laugh.

For Tongtong, Jia Haoyun has become a frequent visitor.
