The first month of 1966 was the happiest ti for Kong Demin. The ssage from above was that he could be promoted after the New Year.
A man’s expression of happiness involves fine wine and beautiful won.
Since Zheng Xiuxiang was pregnant, he still cared a bit, so it was only ng Xiufen.
"Demin, are you going ho tomorrow? Tomorrow is already the fourth day of the first lunar month, and you haven’t gone back yet," ng Xiufen asked him afterwards.
"Then I’ll go back tomorrow. What’s up at ho?"
"Bring five pounds of at, and so snacks I prepared earlier, so white wine, and take a pack of cigarettes that soone gave you back ho."
"Haha, all right, you are quite a filial daughter-in-law, not much younger than my parents."
ng Xiufen gave him a pat. "Right, Xiuxiang’s belly isn’t that obvious now. Shouldn’t she go ho for a visit? It’s the New Year, after all. She should see her parents, shouldn’t she?"
"Why all the fuss? Just have Wang Dajiang send so things back, can’t he?"
"That’s not how it is. The more words are passed on, the more things get lost. I’m just worried Xiao Xiang misses ho."
"In this freezing weather, she’s pregnant. What if sothing happens?"
ng Xiufen didn’t say anything, in fact, it was Xiao Xiang who ca to her, wanting to visit ho.
Since Kong Demin refused, there was nothing to be done.
The next day, Kong Demin took the prepared gifts and rode back ho. He thought about how he could drive in the future, rather than always ride a bicycle.
When he got ho, Kong Zhongyou and his wife were happy, but Kong nglin was a bit scared. She was stubborn, and if the second brother really found out, she would definitely be confined at ho.
So she stayed close to Tian Shulan, fearing she would tell her second brother.
Only after Kong Demin left did she finally feel at ease.
Pan Xiulan had a rather pleasant New Year. Her daughter was already over six months old, with big, bright eyes that were particularly endearing.
The Shen family all really liked her, especially Father Shen, who wouldn’t let go as long as he was at ho.
"Xiulan, look at how your father is. He never behaved this way when your younger sister was little, but with his granddaughter, he can’t bear to leave her."
"It’s that grandparent love, Mom. Look at how much Jian Guo loves children too?"
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was quite good. They got along almost like mother and daughter.
Song Qingqing, however, was not too happy. Because she ca from a well-off family, she wasn’t quite accustod to Mrs. Zhou’s lifestyle habits, but she held her tongue. The Zhou family was indifferent to the granddaughter, but they weren’t bad either.
"Qingqing, don’t be unhappy."
"I’m not. I’m just a bit depressed. It’s nothing, Zhou Zhaodong, I won’t make things difficult for you."
Mrs. Song especially advised her not to make things difficult for her husband, as it wouldn’t benefit her. Make him cherish you, and only such a wife will fare well.
"Qingqing, you’re truly wonderful. I’m so lucky to have married you."
On the sixth, everyone returned to work. Song Qingqing still sent her daughter to her mother-in-law, intending to send her to kindergarten when she turned two.
There was no choice now but to let the mother-in-law take care of her.
This year, Qian Jun spent the New Year at the factory. He felt especially lonely this year but was unwilling to settle. Over the years, he only had eyes for Jiang Xinyu, but she wasn’t pure anymore, and that was what mattered to him most.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Qian."
"Happy New Year, Secretary Song," Qian Jun smiled slightly. He looked very much the part of soone in a superior position now. Thirty-two years old, truly a charismatic age for a man, many young won in the factory admired him.
Yao Shimin returned. After the eting, he found Qian Jun.
"Mr. Qian, I’m married. I want my wife to co over next month, and at that ti, I’ll need to move out."
"Congratulations. Have you found a place yet?"
"Not yet, I’m just about to go look for one."
"You can ask Sister ng from the union. She lives nearby and knows the area well."
"Okay, I’ll go find Sister ng right away.
Mr. Qian, you should also start a family. You’re three years older than , and I’ve already settled down."
"Haha, just haven’t found the right one yet."
"Your standards are too high. By the way, Director Jiang has five months left until graduation, right?"
"Yes, she’ll be back soon."
After Yao Shimin left, Qian Jun kept thinking about Jiang Xinyu, realizing he still had feelings for her, maybe he should wait until she returned.
Kong nglin returned to work and went to find Cheng Changsheng at noon.
"I have sothing to talk to you about. et at my place."
"I don’t have ti."
"If you don’t have ti, then I’ll say it here."
Cheng Changsheng really regretted it. How did he get involved with soone like this?
"Fine, you go on ahead, I’ll be there soon."
Kong nglin hurried ho after lunch.
Their actions were all observed by Wang Dajiang. Kong Demin ntioned he was about to be promoted, and Wang Dajiang didn’t want to make a move now. But if Cheng Changsheng made a mistake, could he then beco the captain of the inspection team?
The more Wang Dajiang thought about it, the more excited he beca. He secretly followed behind Kong nglin.
"Wang Dajiang, why are you following ?"
"nglin, I know you look down on , being with might be a disgrace for you. I know you’re with Cheng Changsheng now. I know his family and his wife, she’s like a tigress, so you better not make a mistake."
After Wang Dajiang spoke, he turned and left.
Kong nglin kept Wang Dajiang’s words in mind. She frowned and returned ho without locking the door, waiting for Cheng Changsheng.
About half an hour later, Cheng Changsheng ca in. "Why did you want to see ?"
"What? Now you want to abandon ? Cheng Changsheng, it’s not that easy. I’m telling you, you must divorce and marry ."
"Marry you? You’re just a broken shoe, how dare you fra ?"
"Cheng Changsheng, no matter what I am, you are with too. If I can’t marry you, I’ll report you and claim you forced ."
"Suit yourself," he said and turned to leave.
Kong nglin sat there watching Cheng Changsheng leave, crying loudly. How did it co to this? Why could Kong ngjie receive Huang Hongwei’s love, yet she encountered such a man?
"No, it absolutely can’t be like this." Kong nglin suddenly stood up and wiped away her tears.
She hurried back to the office and found Wang Dajiang.
"I need to know Cheng Changsheng’s address."
"nglin?"
"Hurry and tell , or take there."
"nglin, let take you there. Do you want to go now?"
"Yes, right now."
Wang Dajiang led her to the door of Cheng Changsheng’s house.
"This is his house. I’ll go in with you."
"No need, you can go back. I can handle it myself." In fact, Kong nglin didn’t want outsiders to know and feared it would be bad for Cheng Changsheng, as she still wanted to marry him after all.
