That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 703 Don’t Underestimate Yourself
On the second night of their wedding, Wen Leyu did not sleep well.

In the first half of the night, I huddled together in a ball, feeling both afraid of Li Ye and missing him.

As a result, Li Ye just hugged Wen Leyu gently all night and fell asleep in a loving relationship, which made Wen Leyu feel full of guilt and she spent most of the night thinking about it.

If you don’t sleep well at night, you will naturally not wake up early in the morning.

When Wen Leyu got up the next morning, Li Ye had already brushed his teeth and washed up. He put the clothes his wife should wear today on the bedside table and prepared a hearty breakfast.

This made Wen Leyu, who was determined to be a good wife and mother, feel embarrassed. It was only the third day of marriage, how could she become a lazy woman?
Seeing Wen Leyu getting up with sleepy eyes, Li Ye said while eating breakfast: "Eat something first, then go put on some makeup, otherwise you will go home with dark circles under your eyes, and mom will think I'm treating you like a slave girl!"

"Do I have dark circles under my eyes?"

Wen Leyu was startled and ran to look in the mirror. After a long time, he came back with a choked mouth and muttered while eating.

"Liar!"

"."

Wen Leyu did not have dark circles under her eyes, but Li Ye could clearly see the fatigue on her body.

She probably didn’t sleep well on her wedding night, and coupled with the two days that followed, she didn’t get enough sleep for three consecutive days, and even the most elastic collagen couldn’t keep her up.

After finishing her meal, Wen Leyu put on some simple light makeup, which immediately made Li Ye feel amazed again, just like a little beauty who had been cultivated for many years suddenly appeared again because of a version update.

It seems that the young wife has been in close contact with Pei Wenhui and Fu Yiru in recent years, and has been influenced to a certain extent. She knows that no matter how talented she is, it is necessary to learn makeup techniques.

The young couple went out and got in the car, and arrived at the COFCO compound fifteen minutes later.

Hearing the sound of the car, sister-in-law Pan Xiaoying opened the door and took the gift from Li Ye with a smile.

"Li Ye, you brought wine again? You're not going to get our dad and your brother drunk again today, are you? Our mom was embarrassed to say anything to you before, but it's different now!"

There are many rules in Beijing. If you don't bring some gifts when you go back to the bride's house, it will be considered that you don't value the woman, so Li Ye brought cigarettes, alcohol and snacks.
But he really didn't think about getting Wen Qingsheng and Wen Guohua drunk. After all, he knew very well who was the boss in the family.

So Li Ye quickly said: "No, no, I don't plan to drink recently, I promise not to drink a drop today."

Pan Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "You don't drink recently? Why?"

"why?"

Li Ye was a little confused. You've been married for more than half a year, don't you know what the Hope Project is?
Could it be that couples in the 1980s had no awareness of not drinking alcohol during the pregnancy preparation period?
However, when Li Ye was just confused, Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Just don't drink. Good living habits are very important for the brain and intelligence of the next generation."

"."

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable, with a shy look on her face.

But Li Ye found that Pan Xiaoying's expression was also a little uncomfortable.

[You have been my wife for more than half a year, why are you so uncomfortable? Could it be that]

Li Ye suddenly understood something.

Teacher Ke is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. Pan Xiaoying and Wen Qingsheng have been married for quite some time. Look at Pan Xiaoying's belly, there is obviously no movement. Is he taking advantage of Li Ye and Wen Leyu's marriage to urge Pan Xiaoying to give her a grandson as soon as possible?
Sure enough, during lunch, Teacher Ke brought up the topic of "There are three unfilial acts: not having descendants is the worst" at the table.

"Today is our family's first official reunion dinner. I am very pleased, but I hope that next year when we have the reunion dinner again, there will be a few new members at the table. Xiaoying, Xiaoyu, what do you two think?"

Pan Xiaoying and Li Ye were very surprised, because normally Teacher Ke should have discussed this topic with Wen Guohua, or discussed it with Pan Xiaoying and Wen Leyu alone, instead of bringing it up at the dinner table in front of several other grown men.

However, Li Ye secretly looked at Wen Leyu and found that his young wife looked calm, as if she had guessed it long ago.

Pan Xiaoying glanced at Wen Leyu and found that her sister-in-law was looking at her with her eyes and her mind, as if it had nothing to do with her, and Teacher Ke's eyes were fixed on her, Pan Xiaoying, so she could only speak helplessly.

"Mom, you know I've just been transferred to Factory 506, and I have to start a nationwide telephone upgrade. I'm so busy all day that I really don't have time. So I've discussed with Guohua that we can put off the child's matter for another two years."

"Two more years? You won't be busy after two years?"

Teacher Ke asked unhappily, "You were very busy when you were a section chief. Now you are the deputy factory director, even busier than before. When you are promoted to the department level, will you be so busy that you won't even bother to go home?"

Pan Xiaoying smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be? Mom, you are now a ministerial level official, so don't you come back every day to accompany my dad?"

"That's because I take care of my family," Teacher Ke said unceremoniously, "Besides, I'm almost fifty years old. Do you have to wait until I'm that age to remember the benefits of family and give me a grandson to take care of?"

"."

Pan Xiaoying looked at Wen Leyu again, hoping to temporarily make an ally to attract some firepower for herself.

Wen Leyu has just started working and is overseeing hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, so she must be very busy. If she had a baby at this time, it would definitely affect her work.

But just as Pan Xiaoying looked at Wen Leyu, Teacher Ke asked Wen Leyu, "And you two, what are your plans?"

Wen Leyu seemed to be sleepwalking just now, but after hearing Teacher Ke's question, he immediately answered: "Mom, don't ask me, I listen to Li Ye on this matter."

"Li Ye, what's your opinion?"

"."

Looking at Teacher Ke’s sparkling eyes, Li Ye understood that this teacher wanted him and Wen Leyu to be an “example” to warn Pan Xiaoying, the daughter-in-law!
It is estimated that Teacher Ke had a lot of arguments with Pan Xiaoying in the past six months, but Pan Xiaoying has managed to survive under the control of a mother-in-law of Teacher Ke's rank until now. It seems that Pan Xiaoying is also very strong-willed! Sure enough, there is a reason for the origin of the evil mother-in-law. If the daughter-in-law does not cooperate, the mother-in-law will resort to trickery, right?

Li Ye did not hesitate and said with a smile: "I have more time recently, so if Xiaoyu is willing, I naturally think the sooner the better. Anyway, if Xiaoyu is busy with work, I will take care of the child."

"Even if we both get busy in the future and the child is already in elementary school, or in junior high school, you might be retired by then, so it's just the right time for you to teach him."

Li Ye was telling the truth.

In his and Wen Leyu's current situation, even if they do sloppy work, there are not many obstacles in getting promoted to the section level or even the department level. It can almost be said that it is smooth sailing.

But when you move from the division level to the bureau level, there won't be so many pitfalls. The competition will be very fierce, and all the contestants are not easy to deal with.

If I take care of a breastfeeding baby at that time, wouldn't it take up more energy than it does now?

That’s why Teacher Ke criticized Pan Xiaoying so pointedly: “You will only be busier in the future.”

But Pan Xiaoying should understand this principle! Why did she argue with Teacher Ke?

Teacher Ke was very satisfied with Li Ye's answer and said with a faint smile: "That's fine! But my energy is limited. When the time comes, whoever of you or your eldest brother sends the child here first will be the one I will train. If you come late, don't blame me!"

"."

Li Ye smiled innocently and didn't say another word.

He seemed to hear a hidden meaning in Teacher Ke's words.

[Is she talking about raising a grandson or a grandson-in-law, or Wen Qingsheng or Wen Leyu? ]

. . . . . . . . . .

Because Li Ye and Wen Leyu had to rush to Qingshui County today, after lunch, the couple left with the gifts prepared by Teacher Ke.

Li Ye drove out of the COFCO compound and asked Wen Leyu: "Is your mother's behavior normal today? Is she too impatient? What if people say that our mother bullies the weak?"

After all, Pan Xiaoying is not a child from an ordinary family. What if Teacher Ke scolds her today and tells her parents about it? Will there be misunderstanding?
But Wen Leyu asked back: "Didn't you notice that my sister-in-law wanted to talk to you all the time today?"

"Ok?"

Li Ye recalled briefly and it seemed to be true. Pan Xiaoying did seem to have something to say to Li Ye today, but was stopped several times by Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu.

Wen Leyu slowly explained: "Sister-in-law was not the first person to be trained in the Pan family, so she has always been very strong-willed."

"My sister-in-law was transferred from the Beijing Post and Telecommunications Bureau to Factory 506. She has been promoted from section chief to deputy director. Only if Factory 506 develops well in the future can she successfully cross the next two levels.

My sister-in-law hopes to sell the products of Factory 506 all over the country within three years, and she needs our help. If she still doesn’t want a child after three years, we can’t urge her.”

"."

Li Ye was surprised at first, then he nodded slowly.

Two years ago, Factory 506 was already in a half-dead state. Later, Li Ye recruited Mr. Ni, who invested in it under the name of Pengcheng Fengyu, which gave this old state-owned factory new life.

But if they want to go beyond the sphere of influence of Beijing and compete with imported products such as Fujitsu in the whole country, not only Pan Xiaoying's family needs to provide support, but Li Ye also needs to invest more funds and more technology.

In Li Ye's opinion, this is a mutually beneficial situation. Pan Xiaoying has achieved results and Pengcheng Fengyu has developed. So if Pan Xiaoying asked for it today, he might agree.

But Wen Leyu doesn't think so. If everyone helps Pan Xiaoying overcome this hurdle, her wings will be stronger.

According to Wen Leyu, why should we "help you get promoted for nothing?"

What is money? Do people like us need money?

A marriage of arrangement, a marriage of arrangement, but there is not even a child, what kind of marriage is this?
Power is something that can easily make people addicted. Pan Xiaoying is obviously the type of person who despises her family for the sake of power. If she had really gotten over that hurdle in her thirties, she would have achieved great things in the future!
Li Ye was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What does our brother mean? We can't always let our mother take care of our own wife, right?"

Wen Leyu said calmly: "Didn't my mother say that whoever arrives first will be trained."

"."

Li Ye turned his head and looked at Wen Leyu: "You mean, your mother wants to train you as the second person?"

"Not entirely. My brother is actually very solid. Even though my sister-in-law is walking faster than him now, it may not be the case in the future. But my mom thinks he and my sister-in-law need a child."

For some reason, Li Ye suddenly thought of Ning Pingping.

Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying haven't had a child for half a year. Is it really just Pan Xiaoying's problem?

"Also, don't call me number two. We don't need anyone to rank us."

Wen Leyu turned his head and looked at Li Ye, saying seriously: "Don't underestimate yourself. Even if my mother didn't train me, I wouldn't live worse than my brother."

"."

"Hiss~, sister, do you think you have the ability to start your own business?"
