Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 198: Fallen Leaves Can't Return to Their Roots

Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun took a short rest on the bed in the talent apartment. Qian Yiyun said with emotion: "Sister, how come our dad raised a son like Qian Zuhui? Hey..."

"Yiyun, now is not the time to complain. After lunch, you drive back to the Chen residence with Dad and Qian Baogui. I still have work to do here, so I won't go back with you."

After the grandfather and grandson finished washing up, Qian Yizheng led Qian's father, Qian Yiyun, and Qian Baogui to the cafeteria for lunch.

When Professor Jiang Yuhan saw Qian Yizhen and his group walk into the cafeteria, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and greeted them: "Brother Qian, hello, happy new year."

Qian's father said dully, "Happy New Year, my dear relatives."

"Yizhen, is Ming Yuanhui's illness getting better? After I finish my work here, I will go to the Chen Mansion to visit him." Professor Jiang Yuhan said.

"Professor Jiang, Yuanhui is much better now. He has been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating at home. Thank you for your concern."

"Yizhen, please find a table and sit down. I'll ask the canteen to prepare a few dishes for you. Wait a moment."

"Professor Jiang, don't bother. The meals provided by the cafeteria staff are delicious. We can just eat the ready-made ones." Qian Yiyun said as he went to the window to get food.

"Professor Jiang, are you busy this afternoon? I would like to hold a meeting to discuss the construction of a thermal power plant." Qian Yizhen said.

"Yizhen, my work rhythm will all be based on yours. I can make use of every opportunity and do the work at hand randomly. You decide the time, place, and participants, and notify me after they are decided. I promise to actively prepare the materials and attend the meeting seriously. I will follow your instructions in everything, hahahaha." said Professor Jiang Yuhan.

"Professor Jiang, your support is the source of my motivation. I have assigned the meeting agenda to Secretary Zhang Chuanren and will notify you when the time comes."

When the food was served, Qian Yizhen called out to Professor Jiang Yuhan: "Do you want to eat together?" Professor Jiang Yuhan waved at Qian Yizhen and the other three, hurriedly finished the food in her bowl, left the cafeteria, and went about her business.

"Dad, after lunch, the three of you go back to Chen's house in the provincial capital first. I'll come back after I finish my work here. Yiyun, drive slowly and be careful on the road."

"Sister, I understand. Maybe Maomao is crying and looking for his mother now. This is the first time he has been separated from his son for such a long time."

After lunch, after seeing off Qian's father, Qian Yiyun and Qian Baogui, Qian Yizhen called Ming Yuanhui and told him about his morning trip to Lijia Village.

"Yuanhui, tell Grandpa Lu Kaipu and Grandma Chen Yalu about my dad's return to the Chen Mansion. I believe Grandma and Grandpa will have no objection.

Ask the housekeeper Qin Yue'e to help clean up the bedrooms of Qian's father and Qian Baogui, and make a richer dinner. I've been quite busy these days, and I'm sorry for your trouble. You are a patient now, so be careful, eat more and do less, and don't get tired. "Qian Yizhen reminded.

"Wife, as you say. Don't overwork yourself."

"Yuanhui, this year's heavy snow and blizzard have made heating a big problem in mountainous rural areas. Most villagers are reluctant to burn coal, and those who do burn low-quality coal, which not only pollutes the air, but also has a poor heating effect.

The firewood that people use to heat their homes has almost been burned out, so they can only endure and wait for the arrival of spring. The hardest hit are the elderly and children.

"Yizhen, you are worrying about the country and the people again. Then you should quickly build the thermal power plant. Maybe it can help the villagers nearby. Haha."

"That's what I thought, too. When the power plant is built, we'll let the villagers in the nearby mountainous areas use electricity and heating for free. Hehe."

Qian Yiyun drove the car carefully, the wheels slipping on the road from time to time, and she was so nervous that sweat broke out on her palms, forehead, and back. Qian Baogui saw the nervous look of the second aunt and said, "Aunt Yiyun, please stop and take a rest."

Qian Yiyun looked at the time and slowly stopped the car on the side of the road: "Dad, Baogui, get out of the car and get some fresh air."

"Aunt Yiyun, after I finish the college entrance examination, I will also go to get a driver's license. Then, I will be able to help you drive. Seeing you nervous while driving, I feel anxious too. You need to relax your body and get rid of your nervousness. I believe that practice makes perfect, and you will get better and better at driving."

"I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting people. Okay, I'll listen to you. Relax, relax."

After more than four hours of travel, Qian Yiyun finally drove the car back to the Chen Mansion. Grandma Chen Yalu, grandpa Lu Kaipu, Ming Yuanhui, Junhua, Yongjun, Aijun, Qiangjun, Junyan, and Junge warmly welcomed Qian's father Qian Guangzong into the Chen Mansion.

Qian's father stood in front of his grandfather Lu Kaipu and grandmother Chen Yalu and said ashamedly: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, your son-in-law is really useless. He comes to cause trouble for you again."

"Guangzong's son-in-law, you can't think like that. When you were in Chen's house during those years, you worked hard every day and provided the whole family with fresh vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc. at any time. We can't thank you enough." Grandpa Lu Kaipu said.

"Grandpa, we missed you so much after you returned to Lijia Village. You taught us how to grow vegetables, dig the ground, break corn, and dig sweet potatoes, which are all our favorite things.

When spring comes, I will plant the land with you and learn farming knowledge. We will not change our promise for a hundred years. "Military flowers, support the army, love the army, and strengthen the army" chattered and rushed to talk to grandpa.

Less than two days had passed since my great uncle Chen Haoyu, housekeeper Li Xiaoquan, cousin Chen Jinting, aunt Chen Mengwei, cousins ​​Han Shiyan and Li Baoguo left the Chen Mansion and flew to Hong Kong on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, but grandma Chen Yalu felt empty in her heart and the Chen Mansion was empty.

The arrival of Qian's father Qian Guangzong immediately comforted grandma Chen Yalu. She said happily, "Guangzong, it's good that you're here. I hope the Chen Mansion will be popular. If you have any requests, just tell me. If you are embarrassed to tell me, just tell your children. Don't wrong yourself. This is your home."

Qian Yiyun held Maomao and stood in front of Qian's father: "Maomao, call grandpa quickly, this is the first time you see grandpa." Maomao looked at the stranger in front of him, raised his little hand and slammed it, making an "Ah, Oh" sound.

Qian's father took Maomao in his arms and responded with two "ah, ah." Maomao stared at his grandfather with wide eyes, but he was not shy at all.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu looked at the time and clapped his hands: "Listen to me, children of all ages. Today is the God of Wealth Day. The sumptuous ten dishes and two soups have been prepared. Let's all gather together today to welcome the God of Wealth. Hahahaha, the target restaurant."

In traditional folk customs, the fifth day of the first lunar month is called the God of Wealth Day, and is considered a good day to open a business. On this day, businesses will welcome the God of Wealth, set off firecrackers, and officially open their businesses, implying the influx of wealth.

In addition, the fifth day of the first lunar month is also the day to break the taboos of the first lunar month such as not using a knife or spending money, symbolizing the restart of economic activities that have been suppressed for many days.

....

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Yizheng arrived at the conference room of the office building of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. Participants arrived at the conference room one after another according to the notified meeting time.

"Hello, everyone, Happy New Year. Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the construction of a power plant. Please feel free to express your views, ideas, and methods. I want to hear about all aspects of the situation, so please don't worry." Qian Yizheng delivered his opening remarks.
