Two generations of military wives compete for time

After a series of operations, the sales of Kuangfu Old Wine have been steadily increasing since it entered the Hong Kong market. Northerners have the habit of drinking heavily and will not go home until they are drunk, while Southerners have the habit of drinking in small sips and pay attention to health preservation.

Feedback from the Hong Kong market was that small-packaged wine was selling well, so the Kuangfu Old Winery immediately changed its original production line for one-pound bottled wine to small bottles such as 300ML and 200ML to supply the Hong Kong market.

Qian Yizhen instructed his secretary Zhang Chuanren to drive to the Kuangfu Winery, fill the trunk with a pound of Kuangfu wine, and buy a few cartons of cigarettes and put them in the car.

On Saturday, Ming Yuanhui drove and Qian Yizheng sat in the passenger seat, and the couple rushed to Pingzhou County to visit Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli.

Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizhen and their wife came to the home of Deputy County Magistrate Cui Shengli, which is located in the staff quarters of Pingzhou County Government. It has five bungalows, one is the kitchen, one is the living room, and three are bedrooms. Deputy County Magistrate Cui's parents live in one room, Deputy County Magistrate Cui and his wife live in one room, and Deputy County Magistrate Cui's two sons live in one room. Some seasonal vegetables are planted in the small yard.

After greeting Deputy County Chief Cui's parents and his wife, Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizhen sat on the sofa in the living room and began to chat about family matters. Deputy County Chief Cui's wife brewed tea in a teapot, poured it into a teacup, and placed it in front of Ming Yuanhui and his wife.

Qian Yizhen handed the gifts he brought from the provincial capital to the elderly and children in Deputy County Chief Cui's home to Deputy County Chief Cui's wife: "It's just a small gift, not a respect." "Just come, why bring gifts? You are so polite." Deputy County Chief Cui's wife accepted the gift with a smile.

Xie Yufen, wife of Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli, is a teacher at Pingzhou County No. 1 Middle School. Her youngest son Cui Guoqing is in the third grade of junior high school, and her oldest son Cui Jianjun is in the second grade of high school.

After chatting for about half an hour, Secretary Xiao Xu came in and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Cui, they are all waiting at the hotel. Do you want to go over now?"

Deputy County Chief Cui looked at his watch, then at Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yizhen and their spouses: "Let's go to the hotel for dinner now. The room at home is too small to accommodate so many people. I hope you two don't mind."

Qian Yizhen, Ming Yuanhui, Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli, Deputy County Mayor Cui's wife Xie Yufen, and Secretary Xiao Xu, a group of five people, came to Pingzhou County's highest-end hotel, Pingzhou County Guesthouse.

When they arrived at the room that had been booked in advance, the tableware had already been set on the large round table for twenty people. Ming Yuanhui's five comrades-in-arms and three high school classmates were already waiting in the room. Ming Yuanhui introduced Qian Yizheng to his comrades-in-arms and classmates one by one.

Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli sat in the deputy companion's seat and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Soon, County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie and his secretary Xiao Sun also came to the room. Everyone stood up and welcomed County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie to take the host seat. Ming Yuanhui sat at the guest of honor seat, and Qian Yizheng sat at the deputy guest of honor seat, sitting on the left and right sides of County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie respectively.

Qian Yizhen asked the waiter to open the Kuangfu old wine she brought from the provincial capital and fill each person's glass: "This is an ancestral old wine brewed by our own winery. It is sold exclusively in Hong Kong and is not available in the domestic market. I brought a few bottles today. Please taste it and give us your valuable suggestions."

Everyone picked up their wine glasses, tasted it first and drank it, and praised in unison: "Good wine, mellow flavor, and warm taste. It's a pity that we can't buy it."

"If you think it tastes good, you can ask me for a note and go through the back door, hehe." Qian Yizheng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, during the New Year, festivals, and happy events at home, we'll come to you to buy wine. You have to keep your word." Everyone said at once, and Qian Yizheng nodded in assurance.

Everyone toasted each other and talked about the past and the present. County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie was a little worried. The second half of the year was about to begin, and the annual investment promotion task assigned to Pingzhou County by the superiors had only been completed by one-third. He sighed while drinking.

Qian Yizhen seized the opportunity: "County Magistrate Meng, I have a project that I need your help with." "Please tell me what project it is." "Our company wants to develop a tourist resort on the hillside north of the Ancient Dao Temple. We would like to ask you to help with the land matters. We need the county and township governments to provide preferential policies and conveniences. Thank you."

County Magistrate Meng Xiangjie stood up excitedly, picked up his glass, clinked it with Qian Yizhen's glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Comrade Cui Shengli, did you hear that? Immediately start the tourism resort land development and utilization project to ensure that our county completes its annual investment promotion task."

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to investigate and measure right away, and complete all the procedures as soon as possible." Deputy County Chief Cui Shengli said as he clinked glasses with Qian Yizhen: "Mr. Qian, Sister Qian, you are truly the God of Wealth of our Pingzhou County, thank you."

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Qian Yizhen went to the hotel lobby to settle the bill and ask for help so as not to let Deputy County Magistrate Cui Shengli spend money.

Ming Yuanhui, Qian Yizhen and his wife said goodbye to the county magistrate, comrades-in-arms and classmates one by one, and gave each of them a bag (two bottles of one pound with a 53-proof alcohol content) of Kuangfu old wine.

Qian Yizhen drove the car and Ming Yuanhui sat in the passenger seat as they returned to Chen's house in the provincial capital.

Qian Yizhen parked the car, changed into casual clothes, picked up Junge and prepared to feed her. Junge hadn't seen her mother for most of the day, and when she saw her mother, she started crying out of grievance.

Qian Yizhen hugged Junge and patted her on the back: "Junge, don't cry. Mommy is back. Would you like to drink milk?" Junge cried and nudged into Qian Yizhen's arms. It seemed that she was really hungry and wanted to drink her mother's milk.

After drinking enough milk, the military pigeon looked at its mother with a smile, revealing its two little front teeth. Qian Yizheng gave the military pigeon a kiss.

Qian Yizhen came to his uncle Chen Haoyu's study room holding the military pigeon: "Uncle, are you there?" "Yizhen, I'm back from Pingzhou County. Come in and sit down. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Uncle, let me tell you something. When I went to the Ancient Taoist Temple, I heard Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin say that the hillside to the north of the Ancient Taoist Temple is a Feng Shui treasure land. I think it will definitely make money to develop a tourist resort there. Would you like to consider it?"

"Yizhen, are you challenging me? I am 88 years old this year. It takes at least five years to build a star-rated hotel. Whether I can live to see the hotel open is a question that needs to be seriously considered."

"Granduncle, you are too pessimistic. Considering your current physical condition, you will have no problem living to 99 years old."

"Yizhen, please lend me your kind words. Let me think about it."

"Yang Ruolan, Wang Min and I have discussed building a few small villas there for our own use when we go on vacation, and we can also rent them out to make some extra money. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions to see if you have any big ideas."

"Uncle, there is no problem with the land. When we were drinking at noon today, Meng Xiangjie, the county magistrate of Pingzhou County, gave me a guarantee."

"Yizhen, it seems that you have been planning to develop a tourist resort for a long time, haha." Uncle Chen Haoyu stood up and shook Junge's hand: "Your mother is going to invest again, you must learn more from her." Junge opened his little mouth and said: "Hey." Qian Yizhen and Uncle Chen Haoyu laughed.

It was time for dinner. Uncle Chen Haoyu and Qian Yizheng came to the restaurant with Junge in their arms. Ming Yuanhui and Li Baoguo had already prepared the meal.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu, grandma Chen Yalu, Dad Qian, Mom Qian, housekeeper Li Xiaoquan, and Xia Juxiang led the military swallows, military flowers, supporting the army, loving the army, and strengthening the army to the restaurant one after another.
