Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 266: Deputy County Magistrate Cui Shengli Promoted to County Magistrate

After finishing the memorial service for the old director Zhang Liguo and settling Pengfei's mother, he was busy moving the luggage of Qian Yiyun, Maomao, and housekeeper Wang Zhaodi from the Chen Mansion to the senior cadres dormitory of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Pengfei's mother's home.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizheng returned to the Chen residence. Grandpa Lu Kaipu and grandma Chen Yalu heard the noise and came to their bedroom with a pot of chicken soup with astragalus and Codonopsis pilosula. They personally poured the nourishing soup into bowls and served it to the two of them. They had to drink it.

Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizheng hurriedly took the soup and drank it with relish.

"You two have been very busy during this period. In two months, you sent Qian Zuhua and Zhang Liguo away, and held funerals and memorial services. It's tiring just thinking about it, let alone doing it yourself. After you finish your soup, take a rest. We'll go back to the house." Grandma Chen Yalu said as she pulled grandpa Lu Kaipu's hand and walked out the door.

While drinking the soup, Qian Yizhen said, "Grandma, Grandpa, thank you. We will listen to you and rest immediately."

Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizheng drank the nourishing soup, took a hot bath, and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Qian Yizhen said: "Minghui, what is the purpose of living? Qian Zuhua passed away at a young age, leaving behind a son and a daughter, which can be regarded as completing the mission of carrying on the family line. As for the rest, there is nothing remarkable, right?"

Ming Yuanhui said: "Everyone has his own trajectory, which cannot be predicted, let alone forced. Let's talk about my sister Ming Yuanhong. Since she got married, she has basically never had a good life.

After finally getting a divorce and escaping the pain of domestic violence, she still has to endure the prejudice and pressure of social customs after the divorce. It seems that my sister was born to suffer in this world, and she will not be allowed to leave until she has suffered enough, right?"

Qian Yizhen said: "Yes, especially for women in remote and poor areas, it is difficult to escape the fate of suffering. Fortunately, society is developing and progressing, and life is getting better and better. At least they don't have to endure hunger anymore, but women still don't get the most basic respect in their marriages."

Ming Yuanhui said: "Old cadres at the level of Director Zhang Liguo, when they were young, they went through life and death, defended their country, and suffered even more. Now that they are old, they should enjoy a peaceful life. Their sons sacrificed their lives, and they lost their sons in old age. They have to see their children die before them.

Originally, I was retired with a high salary, and I was able to spend my old age with my wife and grandchildren. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. I got schizophrenia. Oh... It really fits the saying: Nine out of ten things in life are not as you wish. Go to sleep, go to sleep, let's not talk anymore. There are still many things waiting for us to do tomorrow. "

....

Qian Yizhen was sitting in the general manager's office in the office building of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd., reviewing various company documents and materials. His secretary Zhang Chuanren knocked on the door, pushed the door, and walked in.

"Mr. Qian, have you heard? Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli has been promoted to County Mayor, County Mayor Meng Xiangjie has been promoted to County Party Committee Secretary, and Secretary Zhao Yong has been promoted to another position." Secretary Zhang Chuanren said as he put a stack of documents on the desk.

"Really? What good news! Deputy County Chief Cui finally removed the word 'Deputy' from his title. I will notify Ming Yuanhui and gather his comrades to congratulate County Chief Cui. Haha." Qian Yizheng said.

“Mr. Qian, Deputy County Chief Cui, is a capable and pragmatic cadre. We have received a lot of help and support from him in our Dream Come True Group over the years.

Fortunately, I have a comradeship with Deputy Director Ming Yuanhui. In the future, when I go to the Pingzhou County Party Committee and County Government to do business, I don’t have to worry about being turned away, hehe." Secretary Zhang Chuanren said.

"Yes, personal connections are a wonderful relationship. Good personal connections are a priceless treasure. The friendship between comrades-in-arms, classmates, and teachers and students are the indispensable vitality factors in personal connections." Qian Yizhen said.

"Mr. Qian, ever since Director Zhang Jiyong took away capable people in technology, production and administration from the textile factory, the human resources department has been investigating reserve talents to fill various positions. Here are the archival materials of the talent investigation, please take a look." Secretary Zhang Chuanren said.

"Okay, put it on the table. The Dream Come True Group is getting bigger and bigger, and what it lacks most is talent. We can't stop recruiting talent for even a moment," said Qian Yizheng.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang: "Hello, Yizhen, are you in the office?" "Professor Jiang, I'm in the office."

Five minutes later, Professor Jiang Yuhan knocked on the door, pushed it open, and walked in. Secretary Zhang Chuanren greeted Professor Jiang Yuhan, then left and gently closed the office door.

"Yizhen, have you heard? Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli has been promoted to County Mayor. That's great. It will be more conducive to our work. Hahaha." Professor Jiang Yuhan said happily.

"Yes, yes, I just heard from Zhang Chuanren's secretary. I will call Ming Yuanhui now and ask him to be happy for his old comrade and organize a comrade-in-arms gathering to celebrate," said Qian Yizheng.

"Hey, Yuanhui, your old battalion commander Cui Shengli has been promoted to the position of Pingzhou County Magistrate. Should we visit him in person and congratulate him?"

"Yizhen, is it true? That's great, I'll call and ask. Congratulations are a must, hehe."

Professor Jiang Yuhan smiled as he listened to Qian Yizhen's phone call to Ming Yuanhui, then sat down on the chair in front of Qian Yizhen's desk and said, "Yizhen, in order to get the branch of the Provincial Textile University to settle in Pingzhou County, County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie and Deputy County Magistrate Cui Shengli worked tirelessly and actively fought for it, proposing many preferential conditions such as free use of land, widening roads, and providing public transportation.

The Provincial Textile University is very satisfied. It is a foregone conclusion that the branch of the Provincial Textile University will be located in Lijia Village. By then, the textile talents we need will be easily available, haha."

"Professor Jiang, we are in great need of textile technology and management talents. Director Zhang Jiyong called and said that the female textile workers at the Provincial National Cotton Mill are too old and it is difficult for them to adapt to the advanced textile equipment. We are in urgent need of a large number of young female textile workers. The current situation is that it is difficult to recruit workers. We have to think of a solution quickly."

"I was also thinking about this. The Provincial No. 1 National Cotton Mill is an old mill with decades of history. Not only is the current workforce relatively old, but it is also difficult to recruit workers.

There are also (1) the wages and benefits of retired employees that need to be borne, (2) the staff dormitories are old and dilapidated and need to be renovated, (3) the kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, canteen, and bathhouse in the factory are all bungalows or simple houses built in the early years, etc. These are all things that require money and careful consideration, but we can't be impatient, we have to take it slow." Professor Jiang Yuhan said, listing all the details.

"Professor Jiang, you have thought it through carefully. I don't know what's wrong with my head lately. I always feel numb. Am I suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Hehe." Qian Yizhen said.

"Yizhen, what are you talking about? I'm over 60 years old, and I haven't thought about Alzheimer's yet. You're just 40 years old, and you're not confused at 40, so how can you be linked to Alzheimer's?

To be honest, you are exhausted. The restructuring of the National Cotton Mill, the death of Qian Zuhua, and the death of Mr. Zhang Liguo all happened at the same time. You will feel better after a while."
