Chapter 65: Hope and Responsibility

Wednesday, March 25, 1626.

A cold spring swept through the North American towns of the American Republic of China, and the temperature in early spring did not rise much, but it faced another considerable cooling.

The most direct result is that a large number of people suffering from freezing and cold are either sick at home and languishing, or sent to the hospital with a high fever to poke their buttocks, and the hospitals in various towns are overcrowded on this day.

The large-scale cold caused by the cold and cooling of the spring has not only interfered with the spring sowing operation that is going on a large scale, but even affected the production of major enterprises and factories.

Fortunately, the state-owned pharmaceutical group has made progress in the types and technologies of drug production in recent years, so that this large-scale cold has not appeared out of control.

In the pharmaceutical factory of the state-owned pharmaceutical group in Yingu Town, the purity of penicillin has exceeded 50%, the safety of use has been improved a lot compared with before, the monthly output has also increased several times, and the cost has been reduced to 1 US dollar, which is only 10% of the original level. The efficacy of berberine continues to be praised by the people of the whole country, and Bupleurum fever and anti-inflammatory injection has become a kind of artifact, in addition, several Chinese patent medicines with good clinical effects in later generations can also be supplied to domestic demand at a cheaper price.

With the largest pharmaceutical processing base and biological medicinal materials planting place in China, Yinggu Town has finally broken out of a world, and the total output value of exported drugs has almost exceeded the local porcelain industry, so that Sun Hongyi, the mayor of the town who insists on "characteristic and high-tech light industry", is very proud. It is said that the young mayor of the town, who has a high reputation among the local Chinese residents, is "conspiring" with several bad old men to establish a new industry, and began to prepare for the first technical production patent for enamel kitchen and bathroom products in China. In order to prevent West Point, the biggest competitor on the other side of the river, from "stealing business" and taking the lead, Sun Hongyi was more like a thief all day long, sneaking around after work and gathering the craftsmen for a small meeting.

……

The cold wind is gusting, and Yang Wenwen has only one month left in her due date. At this time, I still didn't stay idle. Dare to have a big belly. Accompanied by Igrena, assistant to the president, he slowly inspected the textile workshop in the new industrial park in the outer islands. Her husband, Ren Changle, was running around the city of Twin Ports on Butterfly Island, busy setting up a branch office in Twin Ports and realigning Brazil's trade. According to Ren Changle's words. He will appear on the day Yang Wenwen gives birth at the time point of "pinching seconds".

The textile workshop has expanded considerably, with 200 steam-powered looms running in the noise of transmission, and hundreds of female textile workers shuttling back and forth, and sections of snow-white cotton and wool blended fabrics are stacked layer by layer. Textile workshops of the same size. There are two more in the whole textile factory, with a total of more than 600 female textile workers in two shifts, with a monthly output of more than 100,000 pieces of fabric, coupled with product quality marketing, the monthly net profit after tax is more than 60,000 US dollars.

Spain and the Netherlands have become the largest importers of high-quality fabric, followed by Portugal, France and England, but with an annual production of 1.2 million horses, they are far from meeting the needs of these European countries, let alone some untapped European markets. For this reason, Yang Wenwen once planned to continue to expand production capacity this year. Reach an annual production capacity of 1.5 million horses. However, the supply of textile raw materials is still not very stable, making this scale expansion full of risks. Coupled with the approaching due date and the tendency to return to family life, Yang Wenwen temporarily suppressed this plan.

"In order to catch up with the Dutchman's contract, there has been no shutdown all winter until now, maybe it should be shut down for a week and all the machines should be serviced once." Seeing a European worker dismantling a temporarily malfunctioning textile machine, Yang Wenwen immediately gave instructions to the female secretary next to her, who hurriedly recorded it in her notebook.

"But then we have orders from Portugal and England to produce." Igrina carefully reminded the top management of the group while remembering, "Why don't the three workshops take turns to stop for maintenance?" This allows us to guarantee two-thirds of our production next month. ”

Looking back at the young female assistant to the president, Yang Wenwen showed a relieved smile, did not speak, but accepted the other party's opinion with a nod, and Igrena, who was recognized, was secretly happy.

"Ma'am, I still think ...... Ah, it's Mr. Yang! While the iron was hot, Igrena was about to give her opinion again, but she was only halfway through her words when she saw a young Chinese man in a suit and leather shoes walking in the direction of the door of the workshop, looking a little hurried.

"Sister! But I've found you, there's something wrong at home! "Since Ren Changle founded COSCO International Trade Company, Yang Xiaohua, who followed Ren Changle, walked in.

Yang Xiaohua called Yang Wenwen "sister", but in fact, the two are not related by blood. At the time of the catastrophe, Yang Xiaohua, who was an ordinary dock worker, was only 19 years old. This unaccompanied young man is actually very aggressive, and he is not bad at dealing with people, not only continued to follow Ren Changle, who was regarded as the object of salary by himself, but even took the initiative to recognize Yang Wenwen as his sister when the relationship between Ren Changle and Yang Wenwen gradually became clear.

When Ren Changle and his wife finally broke through the bottleneck of development and achieved great results, Yang Xiaohua also took the skyrocketing value among the anxious dock workers at the beginning, and now has become the executive vice president of COSCO International Trade Group, responsible for the daily management of the group headquarters.

A group executive actually hurriedly came to the workshop of Yang Wenwen's textile factory to find someone to report his emergency, which made Yang Wenwen see the very good side of this "god brother" again.

"Xiaohua, you are a vice president, why are you so unimpressive?!" Although she agreed with each other very much in her heart, there were a large number of ordinary female workers present here, so Yang Wenwen still made a face at this young man who was willing to be her little brother, "What can happen at home?!" ”

"Uh...... Sister, your nanny just ran to my office and said that something happened to the child," Yang Xiaohua pulled his tie, looking out of breath and looking anxious, "No, I will come to you after I arrange for someone to send me to the hospital!" ”

Yes! Something happened to the child?! Yang Wenwen was stunned, her face turned a little white, and she even felt a little strange in her abdomen for a while. The baby in the womb was obviously also infected by the mother's affection, and actually began to "violent" restlessness.

"Be careful, ma'am!" Igrena saw that Yang Wenwen's face began to feel uncomfortable. was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the other party's body.

"Go...... Go to the hospital and see ...... I'm fine......" Yang Wenwen took a deep breath. Barely holding on. Only then did he spit out a sentence with difficulty.

……

An hour later, Yang Wenwen, accompanied by Yang Xiaohua and Igrena, hurried to the Capital National Hospital and went straight to the pediatrics.

in the intensive care unit. Two middle-aged women dressed as nannies are carefully guarding the bedside. Lying on the bed was a boy of about eight or nine years old who was still in a coma, and around the bed were four other children, the youngest of whom looked to be no more than five or six years old.

Seeing Yang Wenwen enter the ward, the four children beside the bed all shrank timidly to the side. The two nannies also hugged the children in front of them in fear, bowing their heads and not daring to come out of one.

"Oh, Sister Yang is here!" Xia Qiuyun, the head nurse who was dealing with the unconscious child, smiled at this time and made way of the space, and carefully helped Yang Wenwen's body to facilitate the other party to sit in front of the hospital bed.

As the sister of Xia Qiuyu, the head nurse of the obstetrics and gynecology department, Xia Qiuyun has become the head nurse of the pediatric department, and is now personally nursing the Chinese child adopted by Yang Wenwen.

"What's wrong with Xingzhong?! Don't have a fever? Before Yang Wenwen could sit still, she reached out and touched the forehead of the unconscious boy. The child's face was a little blue, but his body temperature and breathing were normal.

"This kid. Electrocuted. Xia Qiuyun lowered her voice and smiled faintly. Fortunately, Yang Xiaohua was delivered immediately, and he was out of danger, and it is estimated that he will wake up later. ”

"Electrocution?" Yang Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. Then he turned his head to look at the other children, only to see that they were all so frightened that they hid behind the nanny.

"Alas...... Now you know it's amazing, silly boy. Yang Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned to the two little girls behind the nanny who only showed a pair of eyes. With the encouragement of the nanny, the two little girls slowly walked to Yang Wenwen's side and snuggled at each other's feet.

……

Seven or eight months ago, some Dutch people did not know what to do with "human trafficking," and the United States suddenly added thousands of orphans, and the policy propaganda on the adoption of minors broke their throats, and in the end, more than 200 children did not find a home.

The eldest son Ren Xingzhong, the eldest daughter Ren Xingai, the second son Ren Xingyi, the second daughter Ren Xingci, and the third son Ren Xingcheng are the five Chinese orphans who were carefully selected by Yang Wenwen from oldest to smallest. Among them, the eldest Ren Xingzhong is only 9 years old, and the youngest Ren Xingcheng is only 5 years old.

5 Chinese orphans who escaped death on a long journey became family members of Ren Changle and his wife, the richest man in the United States. It is said that Ren Changle once objected to it, thinking that the children of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century were not familiar with it, but Yang Wenwen insisted on making a difference in this matter, and even adopted 5 at a time, which made people see the other side of Yang Wenwen that is usually difficult to see.

Ren Changle naturally focuses most of his mind on business, and Yang Wenwen often takes care of her two group companies outside even if she is pregnant, so the care of her 5 children is basically the nanny at home.

In February, the State Power Company officially opened, and finally let Yang Wenwen live a quasi-modern life for the first time. Although the southern district of Manchester City is now a pilot project area of the State Grid, it will take several years for the technical maturity of the current power grid engineering infrastructure to reach the real popularity, and the cost of electricity supply to private households in the southern area is extremely high. Not to mention that the construction cost of the line is expensive, just the electricity cost standard of $1 per kilowatt-hour at this stage sounds creepy enough. Perhaps except for the crossing of families, basically no ordinary citizen dares to enjoy this wonderful flameless crystal lamp.

Ren Changle's family is naturally the first batch of families willing to invest, and in a large villa manor, power supply lines are installed, and there are one or two electric lights in almost every room.

No matter what the reason was for being sold as orphans in the first place, when a few children arrived at Yang Wenwen's house, they naturally lived a beautiful life that they never dreamed of. In the past few months, from being timid and afraid of not saying a word, to daring to mumble a word or two with the Chinese nanny, the children gradually got rid of the psychological shadow of being trafficked and began to gradually appear more normal.

As the eldest of the adopted children, Ren Xingzhong is the one with the fastest transition. The natural boldness of this 9-year-old boy was also revealed, not only did he dare to ask the nanny for food directly, but he could also take his 4 younger siblings to play in the villa manor, of course, these are all things that Ren Changle and Yang Wenwen dare to do when they are not at home.

It happened this morning. The children were curious about the lamp in the living room that lit up when the thread was pulled down. Or Ren Xingzhong is bold enough. Actually after turning on the lamp. Twisted the light bulb secretly, and then somehow stretched out his finger and felt it into the lamp base...... Ren Xingzhong, who was electrified, lay in the hospital like this, which also scared the nanny at home half to death.

……

At night, Yang Wenwen sat alone in the study and wrote a diary. It's a habit she's been keeping since she crossed over, basically taking one day a week out to write something down.

"Auntie......"

A faint cry sounded by the door, Yang Wenwen put down her pen and turned around. I saw a European nanny standing by the door with her eldest daughter Ren Xingai, and the nanny was still holding a pot of hot milk in her hand.

"Ma'am, it's getting late, you should rest." The European nanny walked to the desk enthusiastically and carefully, poured a glass of hot milk for Yang Wenwen, and looked quite concerned, "The children can't sleep, maybe they are worried about the one who is still in the hospital." ”

Looking at Ren Xingai, who was still leaning against the door with a pitiful look, the European nanny sighed softly.

"The child is fine, and the hospital will be under observation for another day." Yang Wenwen picked up the milk. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the child, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. He beckoned gently. But the little girl only looked back into the corridor a few times, and still leaned against the door and did not dare to enter.

"My dear, Madame told you to come in, take it easy." The European nanny hurriedly walked to the door and pulled Ren Xingai's arm, but the child didn't let go of the hand holding the crack in the door except for tears in his eyes.

"Mrs. Cologne, send the children into the bedroom, and you go to rest."

Yang Wenwen knew that there must be other children in the corridor secretly watching, so after leaving the nanny, she deliberately turned around and continued to write in her diary. Ten minutes later, there was a sound in my ears again, I turned my head slightly, and saw Ren Xingai's small figure in front of the door from a small mirror on the desk.

Yang Wenwen got up and picked up the milk cup, slowly walked to the door and squatted, pulled the timid eldest daughter to her side, and then handed the milk to the other party's mouth.

Just took a shallow lick, and the little girl looked at Yang Wenwen's face with tearful eyes: "Auntie...... When will the big brother come back......"

The "eldest brother" in Ren Xingai's mouth is Ren Xingzhong, and they are a pair of brothers and sisters.

"Tomorrow, dear." Yang Wenwen gently touched her eldest daughter's hair, "Don't touch the electric light in the future, you know?" ”

"We can't sleep at night...... Hearing that his brother was fine, Ren Xingai finally relaxed, held the milk cup in both hands and drank a few sips, and then slowly said the reason for sneaking out of the bedroom in the middle of the night.

Yang Wenwen smiled, holding her big belly with one hand, and holding Ren Xingai's hand with the other hand to go out of the door, only to see that at the corner of the corridor, the second daughter Ren Xingci was also pitifully kneeling on the floor and looking at herself.

"Sleep with me tonight." Yang Wenwen hugged her two adopted daughters, unable to extricate herself from the overflow of motherhood, and her voice was surprisingly gentle.

……

On the second day, accompanied by her nanny, Yang Wenwen personally came to the Capital National Hospital to prepare to pick up her eldest son.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw Cheng Daxiong of Manchester City Radio Station getting off the other carriage with his wife Jenny, and behind the two, there was also a nanny leading a man and a woman and two young children.

"Xiao Cheng, you guys too...... What, the child is sick? ”

When Yang Wenwen saw her old acquaintance, she hurriedly said hello. Even though Cheng Daxiong is only a few months younger than herself, Yang Wenwen still affectionately calls the other party Xiao Cheng.

"Good morning, ma'am." Cheng Daxiong just smiled wordlessly, but Jenny immediately saluted very politely, and then pulled the two adopted children to his side with a smile, "Thank God, the children are just a little cold." ”

With that, Jenny took the hands of the two children and hurried towards the nurses' station in the hospital lobby.

"Cheng Daxiong, you seem to be unwilling? Your wife is so loving, are you still not satisfied? ”

When Jenny walked away, the smile on Yang Wenwen's face disappeared, and then she looked at Cheng Daxiong's face, and her voice was a little cold.

"Sister Yang, Ren Changle should be back soon, right?" did not directly answer Yang Wenwen's sharp questions, Cheng Daxiong just looked at Yang Wenwen's big belly, his expression was rotten, and his face was insincere.

"He is so obsessed with money that he can still remember our orphans and widows?" Yang Wenwen pursed her lips, seemingly not interested in the topic of her husband Ren Changle at all, and then lowered her voice again, "By the way, I have a home remedies, both men and women are killed, or you or Jenny who will try it?" ”

"......" Cheng Daxiong was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, and his face began to flush slightly.

"Just kidding!" Yang Wenwen snorted and laughed again, "Okay, if you want such an expression, others will guess even more." You are a big man, and now you can't eat and use it up, and you can't afford to adopt a few children at home? ”

"I'll respect Jenny's choice!" After being silent for more than ten seconds, Cheng Daxiong finally nodded solemnly, and then turned around and walked towards the hospital hall.

"Mood is the most important thing! It's going to be fine, don't make a false impression of yourself! In addition to what we want, there is also our responsibility! ”

Yang Wenwen's voice came from behind her, and Cheng Daxiong slowly turned around and showed a smile. (To be continued.) )
