Xiaoli narrated her and Fang Wei's love story, it was like listening to a wonderful story, the eldest sister said with a smile; "The matter of the two of you is too general, can you be more detailed, so that I can judge whether Fang Wei is sincere or false?"

Xiaoli blushed, looked at the eldest sister embarrassedly, and said; "It's embarrassing, I won't go into too much detail, I can only give you a rough idea. I know Fang Wei very well, and he can't hide his thoughts from me. He used to have concerns, mainly because of our family's status and economic conditions, their family can't be compared, he has some inferiority, and he has never been able to get over the hurdle, and he always thinks that he has climbed our family. I gave him enough time to figure it out in the end, and besides, the two of us met every few days, and we were emotionally dependent, and he couldn't live without me. Alone here, there are not many acquaintances, I can only find me for help, he has no trustworthy people, do you think he can leave me. ”

Xiaoli's explanation, the eldest sister dispelled her doubts and said with a smile; "That's what you said, I think he's good to you. No matter how well you told me before, I couldn't believe it too much. I was relieved to see him in person today. On my parents' side, I said slowly, the rest is the two of you, how to get along well. ”

Xiaoli told Fang Wei that he was going to resign recently and that he was likely to change to a new job, and the two would have much less time to meet in the future.

Xiaoli continued; "My job is relatively easy, I have time to visit him, and the place where he works is not too far away, which is more than an hour away by car."

The eldest sister looked at Xiaoli and said the truth, and suddenly felt that the little sister had matured and was already a big girl. I used to be a little worried about this little sister, but now there is no need for this at all, and I can let her do what she likes to do.

Xiaoli thought about it carefully and thought about everything, and the eldest sister felt a little surprised. I thought that with Fang Wei's company, even if they go to the society, they will definitely be able to break out of their own world, and live happily for a lifetime.

The eldest sister said happily; "When I'm your age, it's much simpler, not as meticulous as you are. I really looked down on you a little bit before, but from now on, no matter what you do, my eldest sister won't interfere too much. ”

The two sisters were talking happily, and Xiaoli's nephew pushed open the bedroom door and came in shouting; "Mom, why don't you and your aunt go out? Dad asked me to call you, and the uncle outside was in a hurry. ”

After that, he dragged Xiaoli's arm and walked out, and the eldest sister also went out. The eldest brother-in-law said; "The two of you have been in the bedroom for so long and haven't come out for half a day, is it appropriate for me to accompany Fang Wei alone? People have a wide range of knowledge and a lot of understanding, and when they say something, they are one by one, and it is difficult to answer each other, which makes me embarrassed, and Xiaofang will laugh at me. ”

Fang Wei said; "Big brother, you really know how to tell jokes, you are the one who is eloquent, well-versed in the past and the present, and you are so modest that I feel ashamed."

The eldest sister said; "You talk very speculatively, don't praise each other, Xiaoli, don't stand there, come over quickly, sit down and talk for a while."

Xiaoli said; "It's not too early, so we won't be seated. Fang Wei drank a lot of wine, you look at his drunken appearance, leaning crookedly on the sofa, he is about to lie down, and he may vomit in your house after a while. I need to send him back as soon as possible so that he can rest early, lest he make a foreign appearance here. ”

Fang Wei stood up on the sofa, his body swayed a little, looked at Sister Xiaoli, and said a little unfavorably; "Thank you eldest sister for your hospitality, I drank a little too much today. In the future, I will visit again when I have the opportunity, so don't dislike it then. ”

The eldest sister politely kept them, looked at Fang Wei and said; "You go to the bedroom to rest for a while, and wait for the wine to pass before leaving, I think it's more appropriate."

The eldest brother-in-law also followed suit; "Let's let Fang Wei go to the bedroom to rest for a while, and wait for the wine to pass before leaving, you see that he is drunk like this now, and he has to vomit in the car when he is in the wind on the road."

Although Fang Wei was a little drunk, his mind was still sober, after all, it was the first time he went to Sister Xiaoli's house, and he drank like this, and he looked great.

He insisted on leaving again and again, but several people persuaded him with good words and did not stop him, and the eldest sister's family had to send them downstairs and watch Xiaoli drive away.

On Monday, Fang Wei got up early, dressed neatly, and came to the hotel where Manager Zhang was staying, and the office director led him to take a look at the temporarily rented office.

Inside, there is a long semicircular table flanked by chairs, apparently for meetings, a desk, a bookcase behind it, and a large landscape painting on the wall.

Further inside, there is a bedroom with a side door, the room is not large, there is a single bed, the bedding is neatly arranged, and the bedside table is placed with a lamp, apparently for temporary rest.

After Fang Wei stored the drawings and materials properly, he came to Manager Zhang's office to report the work plan and daily arrangements, and the manager asked him to conduct another inspection in accordance with the plan studied at the meeting, to see if there are any places that cannot be considered.

Subsequently, the company focused on discussing the non-standard equipment processing outsourcing plan, and the company was responsible for finding an experienced construction team to carry out the work as soon as possible.

Fang Wei asked Manager Zhang and said; "I plan to take a few days off and go back to my hometown to find a few experienced skilled operators. As for the salary, please ask Manager Zhang to come up with specific conditions, and I will go back to discuss with others. These people need to be set in advance, so as not to find the time, otherwise, the production date will be delayed. ”

The manager said; "The sooner you go back to your hometown to find someone, the better, don't delay it too long, the land for the construction of the factory and the China Merchants Bureau have been negotiated, and some details will be finalized again, and it is expected that the agreement will be signed this week." You must come back on time, otherwise the civil works will not be carried out and the whole work schedule will be disrupted. There are more than a dozen of us, eating and living in the hotel, and the daily expenses are also a lot of expenses. ”

Fang Wei said; "I'll leave today, no more than a week, and try to come back as early as possible, which won't affect the start date."

Fang Wei came out of Manager Zhang's office, called Xiaoli, and was about to go back to his hometown to run errands, and he would come back in a few days, and returned to his residence after the call, took a few changes of clothes, and went straight to the train station.

The spring breeze in March takes away the chill of winter, and the drooping willow branches sway with the wind, like a young girl playing; The endless fields are full of green, and an old apricot tree at the head of the field is also rejuvenated, full of red and white flowers, and a faint fragrance wafts in.

The growers began to get busy, shouts and whips were heard in the fields, and the buffalo panted and pulled the plough with great force.

The women dressed in colorful clothes, like a flock of butterflies, are working lightly, sowing seeds into the fields and sowing the hope of harvest.

Zhang Wei and his family moved from the hotel to the vicinity of the chemical plant, rented a small farm yard in the village, and the construction of the factory was fully rolled out.

China Merchants promised to level the land, harden the road and high-voltage lines, and start construction at the same time. The engineering teams that came to the construction arrived one after another, and the construction site was full of busy figures.

According to the planning and contract provisions, the civil engineering team entered the site first, and the site was enclosed in half a month, and it didn't take long for the foundation work to be fully completed.

The road to build the factory has been opened, the fence has been built, the high-voltage line has been connected to the transformer, and the temporary water pipe has also been connected to the factory.

The follow-up personnel arrived one after another, the person in charge of the purchase of finalized equipment and the purchase of steel, the non-standard equipment processing team, and all walks of life have basically arrived, and the conditions for the full construction of the chemical plant have been met.

Manager Zhang seized the favorable opportunity to organize a meeting of the leading group for the construction of the factory, and asked the non-standard equipment to be processed, and the required steel was pulled back as soon as possible. Non-standard equipment processing units, civil construction team, according to the plan to carry out the work, I hope that everyone to make suggestions, can save the save, can reduce the reduce, more hard, with the fastest speed, strive for half a year, fully complete the task.

The office is responsible for resolving conflicts with local villagers, coordinating with relevant government departments, and also managing logistics.

Manager Zhang was very moved when he saw Fang Wei, working day and night, so he specially opened the small stove and hired a young woman to be responsible for the life of engineering and technical personnel.

In the past few months, Fang Wei and their hard work have not been in vain, and the painting of the exterior of the non-standard equipment and the hardening of the road surface in the field have basically been completed.

Fang Wei wanted to use this time to give the technicians who had been tired for half a year a few days off, take a good rest, and prepare for the final sprint.

Fang Wei and Xiaoli have been separated for a few months, he has devoted all his energy to the construction of the factory, and has no time to see Xiaoli, she has come to see Fang Wei a few times, met in a hurry, and left without saying a few words.

Xiaoli has been thinking about how to get her parents to recognize Fang Wei, but she can't find the right time, she sees that Fang Wei has put a lot of effort into building a factory, and at the same time shows his ability.

She wanted to take this opportunity to find a proper reason for her parents to come and see the scene, which is worth a thousand words, and is more useful than anything to say.

The date of the chemical plant was set, and Fang Wei called Xiaoli to tell her that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring her parents to share the results of his work.

After dinner, Xiaoli sat down next to her mother and said; "Fang Wei's new unit has been in place for half a year, and the place where he works is not too far from us, just over 70 miles away. Yesterday I called, saying that the new factory is about to be put into production, and I will be asked to go there then, I wonder if my father would like to go and see it? ”

Fang Wei specifically mentioned her parents on the phone, trying to come with her, which was a lot of pressure on Xiaoli, and she had no idea whether her parents could go together.

Xiaoli anxiously waited for her parents' reply, the two old men did not respond for a long time, she saw that her parents did not express their position immediately, her heartbeat sounded, and the three people in the living room fell silent.

It was a long time before the mother spoke; "I haven't seen Xiao Fang in the past few months, didn't he say he went to other places last time, how can he work in Lingnan?"

Xiaoli gave her parents a general overview of Fang Wei's recent situation, and finally said; He is now busy with work and can't spare himself, so he specially invited the second elder to attend the factory commissioning ceremony. Whether you are willing to go or not, give a clear answer, and I will give Fang Wei a reply. ”

The father took over and said; "Your mother and I are bored at home, and we also want to go out for a walk, and visit Fang Wei's new factory, which is considered to be a distraction."

He turned his face to look at his wife, and continued; "Since Fang Wei invited us to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, it's not appropriate not to go, old woman, what do you say?"

Xiaoli's mother said; "Fang Wei's face is not easy to refute, you don't need a special car driver when you go, just let Xiaoli drive, after all, it is our private matter, and it will not be good to trouble others."

Xiaoli was able to invite her parents to see Fang Wei together, but she didn't expect it, she was very happy, and hurriedly walked out, found a public phone, and told Fang Wei; "My parents may go to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the chemical plant, you have to be mentally prepared, you have to behave well, try to make the pomp bigger, make them happy, and things will be easier in the future."

The daughter went out happily, the old couple looked at each other, and the old wife spoke; "Do you see that? Xiaoli's happy appearance has already explained everything. Since Xiao Fang came to us, my daughter seems to have changed as if she is a different person, and I have long vaguely felt that their relationship is not ordinary. She disagrees with Xiao Wang's reasons, now you understand, right? ”

The old man said; "You think I'm stupid, I've seen it a long time ago, but I don't want to say it, as long as the children are happy, let her go."

My wife said; "Just now we agreed to attend the commissioning ceremony, and we have already made our attitude clear to our daughter. On the contrary, Xiaoli will be sad, which is the last thing I want to see. ”

The old man laughed loudly, and then said; "The marriage of the youngest daughter in our family has fallen, and the stone hanging in my heart has finally fallen to the ground, isn't this a great joy, our old couple should be happy."

…………

The construction of the factory is basically about to end, the operators are in progress, and the single equipment is independently tested for 24 hours.

There is a long queue of tankers pulling raw materials, and they are unloading large reserve oil tanks with steam oil pumps, and the factory is busy inside and outside the factory.

Fang Wei found the chairman of the board of directors and said that now the factory has the conditions for production, and there is only one wharf leading to the raw material oil pipeline in the factory, which is still under construction, and it is expected that it will take more than 20 days to complete, and now it can only be transported by car.

The chairman said; "The oil pipeline can't be in a hurry, there will be problems, you go to tell the construction team, the connecting weld must be welded strongly, and in the future, if the weld leaks during operation, they will be fully responsible, and they will compensate us."

Fang Wei said; "Please rest assured, I will convey your words to them, I will send a special person to supervise the construction unit, each weld must be leaked test, otherwise, we will not settle the project payment, but also reconstruction, and they will be responsible for the delayed time."

The whole factory staff and the construction units worked together, and after more than half a year of hard work, it was finally completed in the bright summer.

Workers wore brand-new work clothes, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out in unison, and people were immersed in a sea of joy.

Leaders of relevant government departments, representatives sent by the head office, and special guests were invited to sit on the rostrum, and flower baskets sent by representatives of all parties were placed in front of the rostrum.

The local government officials sitting on the rostrum suddenly saw the old secretary of the municipal party committee coming, and hurriedly came down from the rostrum, insisting that the old leader sit in the center of the rostrum.

Xiaoli's father shirked several times, but he couldn't resist these people, and at this time, Manager Zhang also came over, and the local officials introduced the old leader to him.

Only then did Manager Zhang know that Fang Wei's girlfriend's father was the former secretary of the municipal party committee and now served as the director of the advisory committee, which shocked him.

Many people who knew the old leader came over to besiege the city, politely invited him to the rostrum, and was happy with everyone, Xiaoli's father could only listen to everyone's opinions because of his face.

Representatives of all parties delivered congratulatory speeches one after another, and at the end of the ceremony, the chairman said loudly and solemnly; "I declare, now the chemical plant begins."

In the sound of firecrackers, the equipment of the whole plant was running, and a puff of white smoke came out of the chimney, which went straight into the sky and drifted far away outside the factory before slowly dispersing.

The shareholders were very excited, ran over to shake hands with Fang Wei, hugged each other, Xiaoli and her mother stood not far away, and they were very happy to see Fang Wei being so respected.

Xiaoli has been here a few times before, and the main leaders of the factory know each other, and they don't know Xiaoli's family background, let alone who her father is.

The factory sent someone to accompany Xiaoli's parents, and they received special care. At lunchtime, the only luxurious room in the hotel was reserved for the VIPs attending the commissioning ceremony.

Local officials and the chairman of the board of directors accompanied them, hoping that the old leaders would often come to see them, which was the greatest support for foreign investors, and they made some compliments.

Speaking of which, some people think that the chairman is saying kind words, which is a big mistake, after all, he has been in a leadership position for many years, and he still has political sensitivity.

Xiaoli's father served as the main leader in the city, and although he has retired now, his words are still very effective, and the chairman understands this very well.

The chairman accompanied Xiaoli's parents and chatted with relish. Fang Wei saw that no one was paying attention to him, gave Xiaoli a look, walked outside the hotel, and said; "When the chemical plant is up and running, I'll go back to the city and rest for a few days and visit the two old people at your home."

Speaking of this, Fang Wei hesitated for a moment and said to himself; "I want to formally propose to your parents, I don't know if the second elder doesn't recognize me as a poor boy, do you think they can accept me?"

Xiaoli didn't expect Fang Wei to be so bold and dare to go to her parents to propose marriage, even she was shocked. Nervous blushed suddenly.

She thought to herself that her parents still had a good impression of Fang Wei, just a good impression of the younger generation, or it was based on the face of saving Xiaoli, and whether there were other factors, she didn't know.

She couldn't guess her parents' thoughts, whether she agreed to fall in love with Fang Wei and recognize him as her son-in-law, such a big thing, Xiaoli was not sure.

Fang Wei directly went to her parents to clarify the relationship between the two, in case her parents refused, the consequences would be unbearable for her and Fang Wei.

Xiaoli felt that she couldn't let Fang Wei be so reckless, so she spoke; "Listen to me, I've already asked my eldest sister to talk about the two of us, and I'll know the result soon. You go straight to my parents, you don't even have a little room to maneuver, and if you mess things up, there really is no way back for the two of us. ”
