Accidentally entered a high gate

Upon hearing this, Ma Lifeng clutched his chest and said, "Uncle Wen, you actually think of me that way? I'm heartbroken."

Wen Xichuan: "..." This kid is really naughty. "Be serious. You know what the situation is right now."

"Hehe... I did a great job recently, so the factory should be able to allocate me an apartment. I'm already in good shape, and if I had an apartment, it would be even more attractive. If I told everyone that Comrade Zheng and I have a really good relationship, and someone took the risk, I could make sure they suffered the consequences, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

Wen Xichuan thought for a moment before understanding. "You want those who dare to take the risk to think there's no need to rush, that you can gradually take them down?"

"Hmm. Aren't I smart?"

Wen Xichuan: "..." Smart, that is... "You shouldn't have the surname Ma, you should have the surname Wang. You shouldn't be working at the steel mill either, you should be selling melons at the grocery store."

"Hehe... Uncle Wen, there are still two things I don't quite understand about what you told me this morning?"

Which two places?

……

Ma Lifeng had just told Wen Xichuan at noon that the factory should be able to allocate him an apartment. The leader in charge of allocating apartments came to see him that afternoon.

The reason the leader in charge of housing allocation came to him was mainly to let others know why he was able to get housing as soon as he started working.

After the leader in charge of housing allocation finished speaking, he took Ma Lifeng to see the houses.

As soon as they left, everyone else looked towards Wen Xichuan.

"Old Wen, do you know how Xiao Ma earned his merit?"

"I also want to make a contribution."

"I want to too."

……

Wen Xichuan waited until they finished speaking before saying with a smile, "I'd like to know too. But didn't the leader say that for Xiao Ma's safety, he wouldn't go into the details?"

"You don't know either?"

"I don't know. If you want to know, you'll probably have to ask the factory director and the party secretary."

"I wouldn't dare ask the factory director or the Party Secretary. I have a manuscript that I feel is lacking; could you take a look at it for me?"

"Yes. Give it to me, and I'll take a look."

"thank you."

"You're welcome, we're all colleagues."

……

In the evening, Ma Lifeng rode his bicycle away after getting off work.

When they were almost home, Ma Lifeng saw a person's back that resembled his second sister-in-law and tried calling out to her.

Shen Junyi stopped by the side of the road when she heard his voice.

Seeing that it was indeed his second sister-in-law, Ma Lifeng rushed over to her, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Second sister-in-law, did you miss me? So you couldn't wait until tomorrow noon to come see me?"

Shen Junyi looked at him and smiled, "No. Isn't your Uncle Liu's youngest daughter in the same unit as Second Sister-in-law? This afternoon, as soon as she got to work, she ran to my office and told me how incredibly beautiful your daughter is. She said that your Uncle Liu and Uncle Li went to the playground at noon today to see just how beautiful your daughter is. I also wanted to see you, so I came over."

Ma Lifeng: "..." He's fallen out of favor?! "Didn't I send you photos?"

"The little girl in the photo isn't as pretty as your Uncle Liu's daughter described. Isn't Wanwan prettier in the photo?"

Ma Lifeng pouted. "Second sister-in-law, do you not care about me anymore?"

"Hahahaha..." Shen Junyi was instantly amused by him. "You're a father now and you're still acting like a child with your second sister-in-law. Did the factory allocate you an apartment?"

"Yes. Our factory has just built a batch of new buildings."

Shen Junyi knew this too. "When are you planning to move your things there? I'll have Yan Xing help you." Yan Xing is her second son; her eldest son is in the military.

"No need, I plan to bring some over on my way to work every day."

"You want to wait until you get your marriage certificate before moving in?"

"Yeah. It's no fun living alone."

Indeed. "Wanwan isn't coming with you, is she?"

"No, we won't. We don't live there every day."

"After hearing what your Uncle Liu's youngest daughter said, I guessed that you wouldn't bring Wanwan to live at the steel mill." There are tens of thousands of people at the steel mill.

Before they knew it, they had arrived home.

As soon as the two entered the house, they saw that it was full of children.

Shen Junyi: "..." Has she started kindergarten? Or has she gone back to her in-laws' house? "Do you think all the kids from the residential compound have gathered at our house?"

Ma Lifeng: "..." Even a child knows what looks good or bad? Don't children only know how to eat and play? "Probably. Wanwan, where are you?"

Little Wanwan, who was squatting on the ground playing with her toy train, stood up when she heard her father call her. "This!"

Shen Junyi was instantly drawn to the little bowl. "Little sister, raising a child is exhausting, let your second sister-in-law help you raise it."

Ma Lifeng also wanted his second sister-in-law to help him raise his daughter. However, his daughter wasn't an ordinary child; she had a special background. "Second sister-in-law, I'm almost twenty, and I need to learn to take responsibility. Wanwan, this is your second aunt."

Little Bowl gave Shen Junyi a smile. "Second Aunt!"

"Oh!" I really want to take him home. "Let my second aunt hug him."

"Okay." Little Wanwan ran over excitedly.

Shen Junyi hugged her tightly and didn't want to let go. Children are inherently adorable, and Xiao Wanwan was especially beautiful and spirited. "I'll take her back to your second brother. He's never seen Wanwan before."

After saying that, Shen Junyi picked up the little bowl and left.

Kids: "..." They just took it away like that?

Little Bowl: "..." Should she cry from fright?

Ma Lifeng: "..." Having such a lovable daughter can be a bit of a headache. "Second sister-in-law, I'll see you off. Chunfang, did you bring out the chair Wanwan used when she rode the bicycle?"

"I...I took it out."

"Give me."

"Okay." Zheng Chunfang quickly took it.

Ma Lifeng grabbed it and ran after Shen Junyi. "Second Sister-in-law, slow down. Second Sister-in-law, I miss my second brother too. Second Sister-in-law, I want to see my second brother soon too. Second Sister-in-law…"

In the blink of an eye, Ma Lifeng, Shen Junyi, and Xiao Wanwan disappeared without a trace.

Zheng Chunfang, Zhang Meijuan, and the children: "..."

When Su Jingyu came home from get off work, she saw them frozen in place. "Are you guys playing 'We're all wooden dolls'?"

Zhang Meijuan: "No."

Zheng Chunfang: "You're back? Did you run into Lifeng and my second sister-in-law when you came back?"

Children: "Grandma Ma, your second daughter-in-law snatched the bowls away!"

Su Jingyu: "..." It's a bit of a worry that her granddaughter is so lovable. "No. I came back through the side door."

After Ma Jingshan returned from his meeting, he wanted to ask his youngest son how his work was going and how his granddaughter had played with the other children that afternoon. However, neither of them was home.

After finding out why the father and daughter were no longer there...

Ma Jingshan decided to wait until his granddaughter returned. He told the gatekeeper that if his second daughter-in-law came again, she should call home first to ask if he and Lao Su were home. If they weren't home, his second daughter-in-law wouldn't be allowed to come in.
