Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Regarding her upcoming promotion to associate professor, Ms. Guo was confused at first, then suddenly realized, and finally embarrassed.

She was confused because it happened so suddenly, and she suddenly realized that she was benefiting from her son's kindness.

Including He Yuzhu's promotion, she also realized that the leaders of the steel rolling mill were trying to show goodwill.

After all, the relationship between the He family and their family is well known in this area.

The final regret is that if she is promoted, other colleagues who are eligible for promotion will be delayed.

It's not that she doesn't care about promotion, but for her, it's just icing on the cake, and there are people who need this promotion opportunity more than her.

"Son, if I refuse, will it have any impact on you? After all, the leader has good intentions..."

"Bullshit good intentions, they are just a bunch of people who curry favor with the powerful. What were they doing before? Why didn't they promote you last year? You have the ability of freehand brushwork, but how many people in traditional painting can still do freehand brushwork? They all go to praise the bullshit Western oil paintings. If your Academy of Fine Arts didn't mention this, I would think they have the character of literati and would look up to them. But, hmph, they are all paid by the government, what kind of bullshit character do they have..."

According to Ms. Guo's abilities, she was fully qualified to be promoted to associate professor.

However, there were many reasons why she was not promoted. The main reason was that she did not have a good teacher. Although she came from an academic background, she learned things on her own. She encountered the unspoken rule of seniority and was never promoted.

Seeing that Chang Zhengyang was becoming more and more explicit in his words, Ms. Guo raised her foot and kicked him.

"Don't talk nonsense. I am also a royal employee. What's the matter? Am I the same as them?"

Chang Zhengyang was kicked in the face, but he could only smile and say, "How can that be possible? My mother is the goddess of the art world, as bright as the moon in the sky. They are not even qualified to carry your shoes!"

Ms. Guo was very pleased to hear this, but she said with resentment, "What nonsense! I am already old and past my prime. I can only take care of your grandchildren. Lai Fu is really good."

You're only 45 and you're already saying you're old. You're clearly trying to get someone to have a baby!

Chang Zhengyang complained in his heart, lamenting the differences in times. If it were the 21st century, Ms. Guo would have traveled around the world at her age.

"Mom, Qianwen and I have agreed to start preparing for pregnancy this month!"

"Really?"

Chang Zhengyang nodded, and Ms. Guo was overjoyed. She kissed little Lai Fu several times, which made the little guy look disgusted and kept pushing away his godgranny, who was only 45 years old, with his chubby hands.

After the excitement wore off, Ms. Guo thought about the title of associate professor again. After thinking for a while, she said, "If the institute really wants to promote me to associate professor, I will refuse. Son, you are right. I really hate their faces."

"Well, if you're not afraid of being called stupid, then it's up to you."

"What are you talking about? I am just being righteous!"

Ms. Guo rolled her eyes at Chang Zhengyang, then went for a stroll in the alley carrying little Lai Fu.

"How come you are not reserved at all? You even have to talk about preparing for pregnancy."

Chang Zhengyang had just finished killing the fish when Wang Qianwen came into the yard. She came over and grabbed Chang Zhengyang's ear.

She had just returned home to put her things down, but she didn't expect that just a short while later, someone in the alley asked her if she was preparing for pregnancy.

"It's unfair! My mother spread this story. It has nothing to do with me!"

Chang Zhengyang also felt aggrieved. He had no idea that his mother would even tell this matter to others. It was obvious that she wanted to make it a reality that he would have a grandson.

My wife!

Aren’t you afraid that your daughter-in-law won’t get pregnant this year?

You are putting your own son on the spot. No, my brother's thing is great and my wife is in good health. As long as you don't take any protective measures, the Chang family will have a new baby at the beginning of next year.

Chang Zhengyang thought about it, hugged Wang Qianwen and kissed her, saying, "Wife, do you think it's better to have a boy or a girl?"

Sure enough, the topic of whether to have a boy or a girl immediately diverted Wang Qianwen's attention.

She said without hesitation: "Of course it's a boy."

"No, girls are better. Daughters are so nice, soft and cute, obedient and well-behaved..."

"What if I'm as skinny as a pig..."

Chang Zhengyang smacked his lips and said in disbelief: "Probably, probably not?"

"What do you say?"

Wang Qianwen rolled her eyes at him. She had long discovered that her father-in-law and her husband were both daughter slaves. The two of them spoiled Zhuzhu beyond measure, making the girl act like a tomboy. She climbed trees to rob bird nests, went to the river to catch fish, and caught toads every other day. She used small green snakes to scare other children.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law has a quiet personality, otherwise she would have been spoiled into a tomboy by these two men.

After dinner, it was already dark when He Yuzhu and his wife came back one after another.

After a busy day, Yu Li just wanted to rest early, but when she heard that her man was promoted, all her tiredness disappeared in excitement.

She was a shrewd person and she guessed at once that this matter was most likely related to Chang Zhengyang. They had been married for almost a year and she had figured out her man's character. He was not a bad man and was carefree, but his mouth easily offended people. Logically, the leaders of the steel mill were unlikely to promote him, but they promoted him today.

The problem is that He Yuzhu hasn't made any outstanding achievements recently, so the reason for his promotion can only be his sworn brother Chang Zhengyang.

Since she was able to get her a job as an accountant at the Yanjing Jahwa Factory, she naturally has the ability to help her man get promoted.

So Yu Li immediately gave He Yuzhu a personal explanation and analyzed to him why he was promoted.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh, saying, "No wonder Director Yang asked me what Zhengyang was busy with recently. So this is what happened. Oh, that doesn't make sense. If Zhengyang said hello for me, why didn't he tell me first?"

"Even a high-ranking leader like him should tell you first. You are so beautiful!"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, and then the two of them began to discuss inviting the Chang family over for dinner tomorrow night.

Of course, we have to add Xu Damao and his wife. He Yuzhu and Xu Damao are now famous private banquet partners in Yanjing City. One cooks and the other shows movies. Not only have they made a lot of extra money, they have also made a lot of friends. Now they are considered well-informed people in Nanluoguxiang and have a lot of information resources that are useful to others.

Of course, Yu Li knew very well that this was all maintained by Xu Damao. Without Xu Damao's eloquent words, there was no way their makeshift team would be able to operate.

So we have to invite Xu Damao and his wife to this dinner.

Besides, Chang Zhengyang is the host, and when you invite people to drink, you always have to have a second host. Xu Damao is the most suitable second host.
