Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 790, Double Happiness

Yang Xiaole and his friend walked and chatted as they headed home.

After my eldest brother and his wife moved away, they started coming over less often.

When I returned to the compound, my eldest sister and younger sister were already at home.

When I got home, the meal was ready.

Following the mother's call, the father who was playing chess and the older and younger sisters next door all came over.

"Xiao Le, have you mailed the letter you wrote to your brother?"

Wang Qiuju was preparing dishes and asked something when she thought of it.

"Don't worry, I've sent it, and I also sent them some other things. As long as there's nothing major going on over there next year, they'll definitely come over."

He had just mailed all the letters and packages on his way back.

Then he teased: "That old saying is true! The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. It's us who are stuck in the middle who are not loved by grandma and uncle."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot! You're going to be a father, but you're still so dishonest all day long."

Wang Qiuju glared at him unhappily.

Qu Ying was there watching the scene with a smile on her face.

The eldest sister laughed and added fuel to the fire: "Mom, Xiaole has been tumbling around for three days if you don't punish him. Give him a good beating to loosen up his temper! He will behave himself."

It is said that from childhood to adulthood, among all the children in the family, he was the only one who had never been beaten.

I was in poor health when I was a child and I couldn’t bear to beat him.

People are obedient.

After I recovered from my illness, I just let myself go.

Xiao Li was laughing: "I haven't seen my second brother get beaten yet!"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Little traitor!"

"Whee!"

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue.

Of course I can't get beaten. I'm already an adult, it would be so embarrassing to get beaten.

Several people were eating at home and chatting about things in the compound.

Over the years, the compound has changed a lot.

There are no longer the scenes of children playing around as in the past.

……

After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaole pushed the cart and took Qu Ying home.

As they walked along the road, Yang Xiaole asked, "By the way, how about your work?"

Qu Ying touched her big belly and said as she walked, "I've already told them. The organization will arrange it as soon as possible. If I take maternity leave after giving birth, someone will take the position of deputy director of the street office. So, let me go there first and take maternity leave as the deputy director of the street office. After the maternity leave is over, I will officially go to work."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "That's not bad! By the way, when you are on maternity leave, you can go live with mom so that I can take care of your daily life."

After hearing this, Qu Ying thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"Okay! Then you can talk to mom and leave this house empty for now."

"Well, I'll go talk to Mom then!"

Yang Xiaole agreed.

Qu Ying smiled and asked, "Are you sure we don't want to get a house? My level is high enough now, I can get a house when I go to the street office, do you want one?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you want to live?"

In fact, he is not interested in the building at all, but he can't resist Qu Ying's ideas.

After all, people these days like to live in buildings.

In fact, both he and Qu Ying are now eligible to share the house.

His apartment is less than 70 square meters and Qu Ying's is less than 80 square meters, so they can only have one apartment.

My eldest brother was given a large two-bedroom apartment.

Qu Ying thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine! I just wanted to ask your opinion!"

"If you don't mind, then we can still live in that small yard. It's so quiet there! We can buy some cement and fix it up. It's no worse than a building. Besides, you have a house. If the houses are divided, you have to hand it over."

He doesn't care about a house, as he will be able to buy any kind of house in the future.

Over the years, he asked Du Minghai to use his connections to buy many houses from wealthy people who fled to Hong Kong Island.

They all come with a contract with the housing management office.

When private houses are cleared out in the future, we will see what is left. After all, houses are still being built in the city.
But this location is very quiet.

It's a rare good house.

The main thing is that this road will be a very quiet place in the future.

After hearing this, Qu Ying thought for a while and said, "Okay, then we don't need a house. The current house is fine. Taking a shower in one place is not convenient."

"Yes! It's more comfortable to live in the yard!"

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

As long as you don’t buy imported cement, you don’t need a quota, as long as you have money.

The ground in the yard is also in good condition now. It is not muddy even when it rains.

……

The next day.

Yang Xiaole went to work at the unit according to the procedures.

Last night, he went to Zhao Changming's house for a stroll. This guy is an activist and there is nothing dirty in his house.

As long as it doesn't interfere with his work, he is too lazy to bother with this guy.

Just don't delay his work.

It is very common to hold meetings in the workplace, and the main focus is naturally on ideological work.

Of course, one of the important tasks of the import and export company now is to go abroad to import fertilizer technology and equipment.

After the meeting in the morning, the general situation of this order was also determined.

The foreign trade department has set up four working groups.

He went to the United States, France, the Netherlands and Japan to inspect and discuss the import of fertilizer equipment.

The Foreign Trade Bureau of the 49th City took the lead in setting up a seven-member group to discuss related matters.

Since it involves chemical trade, Yang Xiaole would naturally be involved in their department.

He also calculated the time.

The establishment and discussion will take several months, which should be enough time for Hua Yourong and the others to give birth.

……

"Comrade Yang, go to the bureau for a meeting this afternoon!"

After the meeting, Yu Yongsheng said to him with a smile.

Yang Xiaole put away the documents, smiled and nodded: "Okay! When are we going?"

This work is led by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the task has been assigned to the Municipal Bureau, so they naturally have to go to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting.

Only he and Yu Yongsheng from the department attended the meeting, and the remaining five people were sent by the bureau.

This included a translator.

Yu Yongsheng thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set off twenty minutes earlier and just wait for a while when we get there."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaole agreed with a smile.

That's the deal.

After having lunch at the company at noon, it was almost time, so the two of them rode their bikes straight to the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau.

As for why we didn’t take the bus, it was naturally because we didn’t know the time of the meeting.

When they arrived, they asked around and found the meeting place.

This time, there were not only them, but quite a lot of people.

Because this time the task of introducing more than 13 sets of fertilizers.

还有4套大型化纤设备，3套石油化工设备、综合采矿机组43套，10个烷基苯厂、3个大电站等等大项目。

The total investment is US$43 billion.

Also known as the "43 Plan."

There were quite a few people attending the meeting.

After signing in, the two found their seats and sat down.

The time has not yet arrived, so the venue is naturally very lively.

……

"Comrade Yang, you have great skills! How did you find out that these people had problems and solve them on the same day?"

While thinking, Yu Yongsheng said something to him softly.

Yang Xiaole looked at him calmly and said with a smile, "Director Yu, look at what you said. I just joined the company, how could it be me who did it? Xu Lei and Chen Yun made mistakes and were caught in the act. I don't have the ability to keep them together!

As for Zhu Dachang and the others, someone wrote a letter of complaint, so I will not sit idly by and do nothing."

He is not stupid.

When you reach a certain level, you can no longer simply judge things by right or wrong.

He needs a camp, but now is not the time to explain.

Yu Yongsheng looked at him thoughtfully when he heard this.

I didn't say much.

It seems that we still can't treat this guy as an ordinary young man.

How can this be a young boy who knows nothing at all!

With the arrival of new people, the venue began to quiet down.

Naturally, not much can be said in the first meeting, and the specific members of the team have not been decided yet.

It would take a few meetings. After the meeting, the two rushed to the unit.

……

Over the next month, Yang Xiaole familiarized himself with the unit's situation while attending various meetings.

The imagined trouble from Wei Feng did not come.

Xu Lei and Chen Yun were also arranged to participate in labor reform on the farm.

And Xiaoli's family is also preparing for her wedding.

……

This weekend, Yang Xiaole's house was very lively.

Because today is Xiaoli's wedding day.

All the relatives who could be present naturally showed up, except for those who had "severed" ties with their hometown.

Today is not Yang Xiaole's home court, but he is responsible for receiving guests today.

He handed out cigarettes one by one.

Uncle, Chen Dalin, Xiaomai and his wife...

The dining table in the yard has been prepared and is quite simple.

……

As time went by, the wedding procession arrived, a bicycle team.

"Mom and Dad! I'm here to pick up Xiaoli!"

Wu Gang was surrounded by a group of people and entered the yard.

At this time, both parents were wearing little red flowers and standing there with smiles on their faces.

Wang Qiuju nodded gently: "Comrade Wu Gang, Xiaoli will be handed over to you from now on. She has a bad temper. You are a few years older than her, so remember to be more tolerant."

Wu Gang's face was beaming with joy at this moment.

He smiled and nodded: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, if Xiaoli is wronged in the future, I will accept the punishment."

"Okay! That's what I've been waiting for!"

Yang Xiaole spoke with a smile.

"Big brother, second brother, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law..."

Seeing this, Wu Gang naturally greeted him with a smile.

As soon as Yang Xiaole stretched out his hand, his elder brother handed him the prepared steel pipe for tap water.

"Wu Gang! If you dare to bully me in the future, you better be careful when you walk at night!"

Yang Xiaole clapped his hands a few times and said something to him.

In Wu Gang’s confusion.

The steel pipe was bent directly and folded in half.

"Dangdang!"

Something fell to the ground with a thud.

Wu Gang knew that Xiaole was a former soldier, but he didn't expect him to be so terrifying.

He smiled bitterly: "How dare I do that! Don't worry, brother, if it really comes to that, I will accept the punishment!"

Yang Xiaole's serious expression disappeared upon hearing this.

She hugged him with a smile: "I'm just joking with you! Don't take it seriously, I'm just trying to liven things up!"

Wu Gang had also served in the army, but when he was clamped by his arms, he felt like he was being clamped by steel bars.

Can't move at all.

This entertainment is a bit scary!
Fortunately, this action was over quickly.

"Okay, have someone load the stuff up and go pick up my little sister!"

Yang Xiaole patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Wu Gang ordered the people accompanying him to start moving things, which were mainly dowry wardrobes, clothes and quilts, enamel washbasins, thermos bottles and the like.

He himself went to the next room.

After a while, several people came out.

First go to the main hall and swear an oath in front of the old man’s portrait. This is also a necessary procedure.

Finally I got on the car.

Xiaoli was happy before.

At this moment, she was still there, wiping away tears: "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving! Big brother, second brother..."

Greeted a group of people.

Wang Xiujiu's eyes also turned red when she saw this. Even on a happy day, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

After all, I have raised it for more than 20 years.

Yang Xiaole felt the same way.

The little girl who used to follow him around has grown up now, and now she feels like the good cabbages have been eaten by pigs.

But this is an experience that must be taken in life.

"Well, today is a happy day, let's go! Have a good time!"

Yang Xiaole said something to Wu Gang.

The convoy then left.

The firecrackers rang out and the yard became lively again.

The banquet also began.

"Xiao Le, Xiao Le!"

While I was thinking, my eldest sister came over anxiously.

Yang Xiaole was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

This is because he doesn’t have the habit of scanning at home.

Seeing this, the eldest sister hurriedly whispered into his ear: "It seems that Qu Ying is about to give birth. Her water has broken."

"what?"

Yang Xiaole was shocked and hurried to the room.

"what happened?"

Wang Qiuju was also surprised when she saw this.

Yang Xiaole saw this and said, "Qu Ying is about to give birth. I'll take her to the hospital."

"Ah? Then hurry up, let's go over there too!"

Wang Qiuju was anxious because these were twins, no different from the others.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked at the others.

He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm in the hospital. The people here will entertain them first, and my elder sister and I will go over. Don't worry, today is a double happiness."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoli said that her marriage and Qu Ying's due date were very close.

It's true.

Aunt Wang also heard about this and said with a smile, "Xiao Le is right. Today is a double celebration. You guys go about your business. We will take care of this!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole ordered the elder sister: "Take out the things I prepared, I'll go get the cart."

After saying that, he shouted to Li Quanyou: "Uncle Li! Can I borrow your cart?"

Li Quanyou was eating and stood up: "Just use it, I'll help you pull it!"

"Hey! No need! Just eat your food!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and went to his house to get the cart.

When I entered the room, I saw Qu Ying sitting there with some worry, and a lot of amniotic fluid had already leaked out.

"Don't worry! It's okay!! I'll hold you!"

He said something comforting and came over and picked up Qu Ying.

He has been monitoring the fetal position, which is very correct and there will be no accidents.

If that doesn't work, then have a caesarean section.

When we arrived at the door, the elder brother had already propped up the cart: "Slow down."

Carry Qu Ying into the car.

The eldest sister also came over with some things.

After saying hello, Yang Xiaole pulled the cart and went out directly.

The hospital was very close.

After a while, we arrived at the Municipal People's Hospital opposite.

……

"Don't worry, it's only 3 fingers open now, it will probably take a while!"

At the door, the nurse came out and said something to the two of them.

Yang Xiaole heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, after all, this was the first time he became a father in his two lifetimes.

It's impossible to say I'm not nervous.

Then he quickly said, "Thank you, nurse. If you need anything, remember to tell me!"

"Okay! You wait here."

After the nurse finished speaking, she left.

The eldest sister was beside him and said, "Xiao Le! Don't worry, I see that my eldest sister-in-law has given birth to three children, so Qu Ying will definitely be fine."

Yang Xiaole hummed: "I know, then let's wait!"

In this era, men are not allowed to enter when women are giving birth, and can only wait outside.
