Chapter 1198 If He Can Divorce Once, He Can Divorce a Second Time
December 1979, 12.
The first snow in Yanjing always comes quietly with an indescribable magic, making this ancient city look picturesque.
As snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, the entire city of Yanjing seemed to be covered with a layer of white gauze, quiet and peaceful.
When Li Xiangnan arrived at the No. 15 Factory on his bike, he saw Ding Yuqiu waiting at the factory gate from afar, holding a thick blanket and shivering under the tall and old factory gatehouse.
"Why are you waiting here?"
He jumped off the bicycle and shook off the snow on his shoulders and head. Ding Yuqiu's blanket had already covered him without any warning.
"It's snowing heavily right after you hung up the phone! It's not easy to ride such a long distance from Yan University!" Ding Yuqiu took the bicycle naturally, waved his hand, and advised: "Go to the office, Lao Duan Yinglong Lu Chen and the others are all here, warm yourself by the fire and drink some hot water first!"
"It's snowing so heavily, you're going back too..." Li Xiangnan felt sorry for Ding Yuqiu as he saw her face turning red from the cold in the snow.
"Hurry up and go. Look at your shoes. They're soaked! I asked Lao Duan to boil some water. You'd better go and soak in it!"
Ding Yuqiu shook his head, pointed at his shoes, and quickly ran into the carport pushing the cart.
Li Xiangnan shook his head, glanced at the sky that had long been covered by heavy snow, took two steps, and ran to the carport to wait. When Ding Yuqiu came out, he held up the blanket high and shouted, "Let's go together!"
Ding Yuqiu blushed, but she didn't refuse and obediently crawled into the blanket that still had her scent.
Today, the No. 15 Factory no longer has the glory of the past, and the bustling scene of crowds surrounding the factory gate has also disappeared.
It was snowing again, and the workers who stayed in the factory and were cooperating with Wen Qiuya's R&D center to dismantle the production line had already closed the workshop door.
As a result, looking from the outside, the entire factory seemed to be sealed by time, becoming even more desolate and dilapidated.
The two men walked through the spacious truck loading area and entered the administrative building.
The temporary acquisition team office is located at the corner of the second floor and can be seen as soon as you go upstairs.
"Here you are!" Hu Yinglong was waiting at the door, holding an enamel pot in his hand. When he saw Li Xiangnan and the other man coming up, he handed them the hot tea in his hand and said, "Hurry up and drink some hot water!"
"Thank you!" Li Xiangnan followed him into the house.
Duan Sijiu was sitting at a desk in the back, calculating data with a frown on his face, the abacus in his hand making a deafening noise.
On a wooden bench nearby, Lu Chen was lying on a blanket with two pieces of straw paper stuffed in his nostrils.
A lace stove in the middle was hissing with steam, and a pot of hot water was ready.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so listless?" Li Xiangnan and Duan Sijiu nodded, and looked at Lu Chen who stood up grunting and wiping his nose.
Hu Yinglong and Ding Yuqiu sat down with a smile. Lu Chen coughed and sat down by the stove, waving his hand and saying, "Don't mention it. It's the same as last year. I caught a cold when the season changed!"
"Drink it quickly!" Hu Yinglong stuffed an enamel pot beside him into Lu Chen's hand and scolded with a smile: "Get well quickly, don't infect us! This period of time is too critical for us, no one can be left behind!"
Li Xiangnan pressed Lu Chen's shoulder and told him to have a good rest. He then took off his gloves, shook the blanket and returned it to Ding Yuqiu. He clapped his hands and said, "Tell me, what's the situation at the Fifteenth Factory now?"
Duan Sijiu pushed the abacus, came over with a teacup and sat down to warm his hands. He and Hu Yinglong and Lu Chen all looked at Ding Yuqiu.
"The workers' placement has been handled by the working group formed by Secretary Guan and his team! Factory 45 has a total of 45 cadres and employees, of whom are young people. After lobbying with Old Duan, all of them stayed. We also retained most of the workers under the age of , a total of people! The rest are older workers over years old. These have signed priority employment agreements and will go to work after the construction of the pharmaceutical factory is completed! The resettlement fee and buyout fee are now paid by Secretary Guan and his team, and we will not participate!"
Ding Yuqiu took the work memo and went over it with Li Xiangnan one by one, listing them all. It was obvious that she had remembered all these things in her mind.
"Hmm!" Li Xiangnan adjusted the direction of the coal with the tongs, "What's Qiuya's progress?"
"Xiao Wen's team of seven people plunged into the workshop right after arriving at the factory! We were not even given a welcome ceremony! It's hard to imagine that they are a group of intellectuals from universities. I feel they can endure more hardships than those of us who have worked!" Ding Yuqiu sighed.
"I can't be wrong about who I've chosen! Wen Qiuya will only look for people with similar temperaments!" Li Xiangnan nodded and gave cigarettes to Lao Duan and Yinglong. "The physics department was the one who disassembled the defibrillator before. Now that we have the data, it will be a piece of cake for us to modify the production line! Yuqiu, you have to cooperate in this regard!"
"must!"
Ding Yuqiu nodded quickly.
Li Xiangnan took out a small notebook from his pocket, looked at it, and then gave instructions to a few people.
"We need to hurry up and decorate the Xin Nianwei Hospital this month, and try to open it on New Year's Day! I'll leave the matters of the Fifteenth Factory to you guys!" Li Xiangnan said solemnly, "I'll be at ease if you keep an eye on it!"
"I'll tell you if there's anything!" Ding Yuqiu nodded.
"Well, that's fine! You guys go ahead and get busy! I have to go to the construction site to take a look!" Li Xiangnan took a big sip of tea and stood up.
"It's snowing outside! Are you leaving now?" Ding Yuqiu was reluctant and worried.
"There's nothing I can do!" Li Xiangnan smiled, put on his gloves and walked out.
Ding Yuqiu chased out the door and shouted, "By the way, last time I asked Dean Yao to resign, he didn't agree..."
Li Xiangnan paused, a little surprised, but after a moment's thought, he guessed that Lao Yao might be reluctant to let him go, "Does this matter require my intervention?"
"Dean Yao said he would help me get a leave of absence if I insisted on leaving! I can come back anytime in the future! But I don't want to take up the resources of the factory hospital!" Ding Yuqiu sighed, "Dean Yao talked to Director Liu about this, and Director Liu said he could let me work part-time..."
"That's a good idea, it's pretty much the same as mine! I'll treat him to a meal to express my apology later!"
Ding Yuqiu smiled and said, "What apology? The factory couldn't help you, but they asked you to come out and buy a factory. Director Liu and Director Xing said they were sorry for you every time they saw me, and they wanted to apologize to you!"
"Haha, this Old Liu!" Li Xiangnan was slightly touched and waved his hand, saying, "Well, when the snow stops, we'll invite him to dinner and keep in touch with him! In the next two days, ask Yinglong to install the phone, and the cost will be deducted from the funds!"
"I know!" Ding Yuqiu nodded.
Li Xiangnan left the building and looked back to see her still standing at the stairs, refusing to go back. He turned a few steps and walked back, "By the way, Yuqiu, the business license for the 15th Factory can be processed!"
Ding Yuqiu looked up at him, "What's your name?"
"Let's call it Spring Rain!"
There are two phoenix palaces in the imperial city in the clouds, and spring trees in thousands of homes in the rain.
What a name!
"Yanjing Chunyu Medical Equipment Manufacturing Factory, I'll remember it!" Ding Yuqiu shouted loudly to the man who came out of the carport.
Li Xiangnan just waved and rode into the snow with a smile.
……
Yanjing Children's Hospital, Inpatient Department.
The nurse at the nurses' station called out to a ward across the corridor, "Is Anqi's mother here? Come out for a moment."
"I'm coming!"
Lin Youwei hurried out of the ward and asked, "Nurse, what's the matter?"
Seeing her nervous face, the nurse smiled and said, "The child is just suffering from common climate discomfort. After two days of observation, the doctor said that the coughing symptoms have eased and she can go home! After returning from abroad, the climate in Yanjing is relatively dry, and it will take some time for the child to adapt. In our autumn and winter seasons, there is a little more wind and sand. When you are outdoors, it is best to use a layer of gauze to cover your mouth and nose to block the dust and prevent allergies. The doctor has prescribed anti-allergic medicine for you. If you have a cough, just mix a little in the milk!"
"Thank you!" Hearing this, Lin Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "The child is too young, and I'm afraid I can't take good care of him..."
"It's not a big deal! Don't worry too much. You can go to the outpatient clinic to get a discharge certificate and then you can be discharged! Be more careful when you go back!"
Lin Youwei thanked him profusely and went downstairs in a hurry.
In the ward.
Looking at Liang Hui holding her great-granddaughter, Yin Hongmei smiled and pointed outside, saying, "Xiao Liang, go help Youwei. I think she's going to be discharged from the hospital!"
"Be good, Anqi. Godmother will be back to accompany you in a while!" Liang Hui touched the little one's face with her milky little hand, then stood up and handed the child to Wang Xiuqin, saying softly, "Auntie, I'll be out for a while!"
"Go ahead, you can rest assured that I and Youwei's grandmother are here!" Wang Xiuqin smiled.
After everyone left, Wang Xiuqin was the only one left in the ward.
Yin Hongmei then said, "Xiuqin, I'm an experienced person, will you listen to me?"
"Aunt, you are the elder. Jianzhou, Qingquan and I will definitely listen to you!" Wang Xiuqin saw her send Liang Hui away and guessed that she might have something to say to her.
really!
Yin Hongmei's face suddenly turned cold.
"It's hard for me to say anything in a family with so many people around. Youwei's grandfather and mother are both in the suburbs, and they don't want to listen to my nagging. But I've been through it, I feel sorry for Youwei, and I know how hard life is! You can see that she's sick this time, is it okay without a man in the family?"
"..." Wang Xiuqin's heart tightened, knowing what she was about to say.
"The children's illness this time is not a big deal, but in the future, when they go to school and grow up, once the role of the father is missing, the personalities of these two children will definitely be distorted..."
Wang Xiuqin said anxiously: "Aunt, don't worry, Jianzhou and I have our own way of educating children, and we won't let these two children have any mishaps..."
"Xiuqin! No matter how powerful you and Jianzhou are, can you play the role of a father?" Yin Hongmei looked aggressive.
Stared at by her sharp eyes, Wang Xiuqin unconsciously gave in.
She was also in her fifties, so she naturally understood that what Yin Hongmei said made a lot of sense, and even she couldn't refute it.
But she also knew what her daughter Youwei was thinking. She and Jianzhou had interfered with the fourth girl Chu Qiao's marriage before, but ended up losing both the wife and the army, and ended up in this situation.
No matter what we say this time, we must fully respect Youwei's ideas and follow her will.
"Aunt, this matter still depends on Youwei's opinion. If she doesn't want to find a husband, then forget it! If she doesn't get married, we will support her for the rest of her life! When the children grow up, we will tell them our true life story..."
"Xiuqin! Youwei is a member of the An family. How can you make decisions for the An family?"
Unexpectedly, Yin Hongmei's words choked Wang Xiuqin so much that she was speechless for a long time.
"Aunt, I'm doing this for Youwei's own good!" Wang Xiuqin couldn't help but clench her fists.
"If you want to do good for her, you should hurry up and find a man for her!" Yin Hongmei said calmly.
Wang Xiuqin was unwilling to say anything. She thought to herself that she had to go home and discuss Yin Hongmei's thoughts with Jianzhou and come up with a solution.
So she said, "Aunt, judging from Youwei's personality, I'm afraid no one can catch her eye. I think this matter..."
"Who said that? I think that boy surnamed Li is pretty good!"
"The boy named Li?" Wang Xiuqin was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Yin Hongmei's eyes sparkled as she said, "Li Xiangnan!"
bass!
Wang Xiuqin stood up immediately and said in panic: "Aunt, this is not possible! Li Xiangnan is already married... Besides, Chu Qiao was engaged to him before, and they got divorced. After all, Youwei is Chu Qiao's sister..."
"Xiuqin!"
Yin Hongmei slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the snow falling from the sky outside, her voice without a trace of emotion.
"As far as I know, Lin Chuqiao and Li Xiangnan are not actually married. The marriage contract was just a stopgap measure for Chuqiao to follow Jianzhou's plan at the time. That marriage - was fake!"
"Besides, they are divorced. Even if Youwei follows Li Xiangnan, since she has no blood relationship with Chuqiao and there is no violation of human ethics, no one will say anything!"
At this point, Yin Hongmei turned around and looked at Wang Xiuqin, "If Li Xiangnan can get a divorce the first time, then he can get a divorce the second time!"
These words left Wang Xiuqin speechless and she stood there frozen.
Yin Hongmei glanced at her, her eyes falling on her sleeping great-granddaughter, "I want to give these two little ones a complete childhood!"
"Aunt, you...what do you want to do? You can't do anything reckless, Aunt..." When Wang Xiuqin heard this, her heart felt like boiling water, bubbling up and down, and she was completely shocked.
Yin Hongmei walked to the door, grabbed the hanging scarf and hat, put it on slowly, ignored Wang Xiuqin's surprised look, and walked straight out of the ward, "Take good care of my An family's child!"
She left the ward, went downstairs, walked out of the hospital lobby, waved to a car that started, waited for it to drive over, got in, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Go find Li Xiangnan!"
"Yes!"
Wang Xiuqin, who was in the ward upstairs, finally recovered from her shock. She rushed to the nurses' station with her child in her arms, picked up the phone and dialed it. When she heard her husband's familiar voice, she cried, "Jianzhou, it's over, it's over, something's wrong, come to the hospital right away!"
