"Congratulations, brother!" The smile on Xu Damao's face was called a bright and sincere, and he had already saluted Wang Zhong five times in a row.

"Brother Da Mao, thank you!"

What does Xu Damao think, how can Wang Chong not know, it is nothing more than that his daughter-in-law is the daughter of Lou Bancheng, a shareholder of the rolling mill, and she is a beautiful lady, and the family conditions are already at the top of the pyramid, at least for now.

And Wang Chong, the man of the year in the rolling mill, the baby bump of the factory leaders, married a stupid girl from the countryside, although he is quite good-looking, but he is good-looking and can't be eaten, besides, there is no good-looking rolling mill that is longer than the stupid girl.

Lou Xiao'e also raised her wine glass and saluted Wang Zhong and Qin Jingru.

The stick terrier and the two little girls were all paying attention to the bowl of ruddy and oily braised pork on the table, exuding a rich meat fragrance, and they were eating fat but not greasy pieces of meat one by one, eating with a mouth full of oil, and a lot of clothes were stained.

Qin Huairu also held a wine glass and drank with a few people.

Originally, Silly Zhu was also going to come over, but just in time for Ran Qiuye's parents to ask Silly Zhu to go to the house for dinner, wanting to see who their daughter was talking to, if Silly Zhu was a few years younger, maybe for the sake of the so-called buddy righteousness, he might still refuse, but at this time, he had become a stupid pillar who was in a big difficulty, and he couldn't wait to take Ran Qiuye home to offer the table, and when the Xuannu Niangniang was offered, where would he dare to slacken.

As for He Yushui, at this time, the cat was crying sadly in his own room, licking his wounds, where was he still in the mood to drink and congratulate.

Wang Chong got married but didn't set up wine, but only called Xu Damao, who had a good relationship with him on weekdays, and Qin Huairu and a few people had a light meal, and sent a handful of candy to each family in the courtyard, and the two of them lived on their own.

Such an act has aroused a lot of criticism.

Many people are discussing in private, saying that Wang Chong has such a high salary every month, but he is reluctant to pay for the wedding banquet, and what he said because he married a rural girl and coped with things.

Gossip has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is getting more and more intense.

Wang Chong turned a deaf ear, still living his own small life, most of his mind was spent on work, and he made a special trip to find Lao Xu, got a lot of books related to the metallurgical industry, filled his theoretical vacancies, and followed Lao Xu several times to several brother factories.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, the factory went to work as usual, the machines in the workshop roared, the technicians did not sit in the office all the time to read the documents, all the technicians, including Wang Chong, who is now in the limelight in the factory, have their own responsible workshop, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of all kinds of machines in the workshop.

And now Wang Zhong has to be responsible for the production instructions issued above.

In the courtyard, Qin Jingru had already bought glutinous rice flour in advance, and there were black sesame seeds, peanuts, and red beans at home.

In the evening, when Wang Chong returned home on his bicycle, Qin Jingru had already prepared all the meals.

"I'm back, hurry up and wash my hands and get ready to eat," Qin Jingru, who was wearing an apron, stood in front of the stove and had just scooped the last dish out of the pot.

Quickly put the dishes on the pot, and then went to the stove, and brought the rice balls that were simmering slowly over low heat to the table.

"What's stuffing?" Looking at the milky white round rice balls, Wang Zhong asked curiously.

"There are several, you'll know when you taste them."

Tangyuan is not the staple food, the staple food is a yellow steamed bun made with corn flour mixed with flour, not the spicy stick noodles.

Compared with simple white flour steamed buns, Wang Chong prefers mixed with corn or sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains to make mixed noodles steamed buns, and after more than a week, Qin Jingru also has a little understanding of Wang Chong's taste.

Sandwiched the steamed buns in a small grate made of rattan and brought them to the table, Qin Jingru was not in a hurry to sit down and move the chopsticks, but turned around and went to the corner of the kitchen, took out a bowl of pickled radishes sealed in the jar, and scooped out a few spoonfuls of oil chili peppers that Wang Zhong put in the glass jar from the cabinet, put them in the tray and served them to the table.

"Don't be busy, sit down and eat together." Wang Zhong beckoned Qin Jingru and said.

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "That's it!" ”

Putting the snow-white radish strips and oil chili peppers on the side close to Wang Chong, Qin Jingru picked up the bowl again, first helped Wang Chong scoop a bowl of rice balls, and then scooped it for himself.

"Today's Lantern Festival, isn't there a welfare in the factory?" Qin Jingru held a steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and asked curiously while eating.

Wang Chongdao: "At noon, the canteen made pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli. ”

"Nothing else?" Qin Jingru looked at Wang Zhong and asked.

Wang Chong also looked at her: "What else do you want?" ”

Qin Jingru said with some loss: "I thought I would send some holiday gifts." ”

"It was just sent once a year ago, and there are tens of thousands of people in the factory, even if it is a few catties of white flour per person, it is hundreds of thousands of catties, how can it be sent every time."

"By the way, I've been busy lately, I don't necessarily have to come back when, and I don't necessarily have to go home for dinner, you don't have to wait for dinner, you can eat it yourself first when it's ready, if I can't come back in the evening, I'll let your cousin bring the letter."

"Hmm!" Qin Jingru nodded and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you so busy all of a sudden?" ”

"Now all parts of the country are supporting the construction of the third line, and our rolling mill is a key unit, and it has just undergone a rectification a year ago, and the production capacity has doubled, so this task is naturally heavy."

Speaking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, years ago, the workers in the factory admired and envied him, but since the eighth resumption of work, after the task came down, the factory was full of complaints, the original those who were cheating and slippery, touching the fish and messing around, now they are also forced to join the busy production, and the culprit of all this is naturally Wang Chong, who proposed and led the rectification work in the factory.

I don't know how many people secretly scolded Wang Zhong behind his back.

Qin Jingru naturally didn't know the doorway here, and told Wang Chong a few words with concern, asking him to pay attention to his body and not just care about work and the like.

"Are there any more glutinous rice balls?" While eating, Wang Chong's voice suddenly changed and he asked.

Qin Jingru said: "There are still a lot of uncooked!" ”

"Call your cousin and the stick terrier over later, and cook all those rice balls!"

"It's all cooked?" Although Qin Huairu is her cousin and introduces herself to Wang Chong, Qin Jingru is still a little reluctant.

"Reluctantly?" Wang Chong looked at Qin Jingru with interest who showed a little pain on his face.

Qin Jingru is not the kind of person who is deep in the city, almost everything he thinks is written on his face, and in the face of Wang Chong's inquiry, although he is a little apprehensive, he still nods.

"Let me ask you, do we lack these rice balls?" Wang Chong didn't directly say that Qin Jingru was wrong, but asked patiently.

"There is no shortage!" Qin Jingru doesn't have to think about the answer to this question at all, although the majority of the family's money is still in the hands of Wang Chong, but the family's monthly living expenses and various bills are in Qin Jingru's hands, although Qin Jingru has only been married to the Wang family for more than a week, she has gradually had a clear understanding of the daily life of the family.

Like stick noodles, the staple food of most people's homes now, never appears on their own tables, even if they eat corn buns, they are also made of the kind of corn flour that is very finely ground.

Not to mention that the family has to eat meat twice in three days, not to mention the oil used for stir-frying.

"How's your cousin's life going?" Wang Zhong continued to ask.

Qin Jingru said: "It's difficult! ”

"Since we don't lack this bit of food, your cousin's family is also having a hard time, why don't you help if you can help, but don't help now, what if we have a place for your cousin in the future? Do you think she'll help us? ”

Qin Jingru hurriedly shook her head, and then said, "I'll go find my cousin after eating later?" ”

"It's okay to be properly close to your cousin, but you also have to be principled and have a bottom line, and you can't say anything she says, you know!"

Qin Jingru is a person who has no ideas and is easy to be fooled, and Qin Huairu's scheming city is quite deep, Wang Chong is not worried that he will be calculated by Qin Huairu, but he is just worried that he is not there, and Qin Jingru will be used as a gunman.

"I remember!" Qin Jingru replied with a cautious face.

As for why Qin Jingru didn't send the uncooked rice balls to Jia's house, but let Qin Huairu bring the children over to eat, it was naturally because Wang Chong didn't want his own rice balls to fill the belly of Jia Zhang's old pious woman.

When Wang Chong's family was eating, the Jia family was also eating, but the food was somewhat simple, there were no meat stars, and even the oil used for stir-frying was pitiful.

"Mom, shall we eat glutinous rice balls at night?" It was none other than the only male stick terrier in the Jia family who suddenly asked this.

Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang, who was eating opposite, raised his hand and rubbed the head of the stick terrier, and said with a smile: "Mom forgot to buy glutinous rice noodles, and we don't have anything at home that can make stuffing!" ”

"Why don't we go to my aunt's house to eat, my aunt's house must have made rice balls." The Stick Terrier offered enthusiastically.

"This ·····" Qin Huairu was a little hesitant.

"Mom! I also want to eat rice balls! ”

"I'm going to eat it too!"

Xiaodang and Huaihua next to him also looked at Qin Huairu in unison, their eyes full of expectation.

Qin Huairu sighed, and was thinking about what to say, when suddenly Qin Jingru's voice came from outside the door.

"Cousin, are you at home?"

"Here, the door is not closed, come in!" Qin Huairu hurriedly beckoned Qin Jingru in.

"Auntie!" x3

The stick terrier even put down his chopsticks, and ran to Qin Jingru as soon as he slipped away.

"Have a bite to eat?"

"No, no, I just ate it at home!"

Qin Jingru hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Isn't it the Lantern Festival today, there are only me and Wang Chong in my family, a little lonely, cousin, why don't you take the stick terrier and Xiaodang to my house later?" ”

"Auntie, do you have rice balls to eat?" The stick terrier looked at Qin Jingru, his eyes full of anticipation.

Qin Jingru rubbed the head of the stick terrier and said with a smile: "Of course there is." ”

"Auntie! I'm going to eat rice balls too! ”

Xiaodang and Huaihua couldn't sit still when they heard this, so they immediately jumped off the stool and ran to Qin Jingru.

"Good, good! Later, my aunt will cook rice balls for you to eat! ”

"What do you like to eat?"

"Do you have a lot of stuffing?" The stick terrier asked with curiosity on his face.

Qin Jingru said: "Of course, there are peanut filling, bean paste filling, and black sesame filling!" ”

Xiaodang tugged at the corner of Qin Jingru's clothes and asked, "Auntie, is there any meat filling?" ”

"That's not it!"

After eating, Qin Huairu led her three children to the front yard, and only Jia Zhang's family was left in the house, sitting cross-legged on the kang with a black face, holding needles and threads in her hands, wearing reading glasses, and holding insoles with a gloomy face.

The house is empty, and there is still a little festive atmosphere.

Thinking of the laughter and laughter in Wang Chong's house in the front yard at this moment, the three children eating steaming rice balls, and the bright smiles on their faces, Jia Zhang's felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Time flickered, and it was several days, and it was almost the first month, and on this day, Lao Xu suddenly asked someone to find Wang Chong.

"Prepare, come with me to meet someone later!" Lao Xu said with a serious face.

Wang Zhong asked, "So serious?" Section chief, who are you seeing? Still need to prepare in advance? ”

"Of course it's the big leader!" Old Xu Dao.

Wang Zhong asked, "How big is the leader?" ”

"A leader who is bigger than our factory director!"

When he was about to set off, Wang Chong actually saw Xu Damao and Silly Zhu among the people who traveled with him, and even if he reacted, the big leader that Lao Xu said was likely to be the one who was quite in agreement with Silly Zhu in the original plot, and the leader was none other than Director Yang.

Everyone followed Director Yang all the way to the big leader's house, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu went to set up the venue, the other went to the back kitchen, Wang Chong followed Lao Xu and Director Yang, and went straight to meet the big leader.

"Leader, this is Wang Chong, the plan for the rectification of our factory is what he proposed!" Director Yang didn't say a few words to the big leader, and called Wang Zhong to the big leader.

"You're Wang Chong?" The big leader looked at Wang Chong with interest: "Sure enough, it's a talent!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Wang Chongdao.

The big leader was obviously interested in Wang Chong: "I heard that the rectification plan of your factory was come up with by you alone?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "I just put forward ideas and general ideas, and the specific improvement is the result of the joint efforts of all the leaders and workers in the factory." ”

"At a young age, he is so modest, neither humble nor arrogant, old and steady, he is indeed a talent." The big leader was both a little surprised and satisfied with Wang Chong's answer.

"Xiao Yang, you have to make good use of talents like Comrade Wang Chong, don't waste them!" The big leader spoke quite straightforwardly.

Director Yang hurriedly said: "Rest assured, Comrade Wang Chong is now the key training object of our factory, and now he is a tenth-level technician, and one step further, he is an engineer." ”

The big leader nodded and looked at Wang Chong: "Comrade Xiao Wang, tell me in detail how you came up with this rectification plan!" And your idea, what's going on. ”
