Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 360 Driver Xiao Sun regains vitality

The chairman of the Pingzhou County CPPCC said: "The villagers of Lijia Village, Daoguan Village and Dawan Village are so blessed. They have electricity and telephones upstairs and downstairs. This is what the villagers in the mountainous areas have dreamed of for generations. The villagers in the surrounding villages are extremely envious."

After the banquet, Qian Yizhen respectfully saw off Secretary Cui Shengli, County Mayor Li Cuilan and other city and county leaders to the lobby downstairs of the Huaguoshan Hotel and watched them get into the car and leave.

Qian Yizheng decided to take a hundred steps after dinner, taking big strides back to the talent apartment of the Dream Come True Group.

Qian Yizheng was strolling along Wufu Road, which leads from the Huaguoshan Hotel to the office building of the Dream Come True Group. He felt particularly relaxed and couldn't help humming a little tune.

After a while, Cui Qinghe drove over, stopped the car, opened the window and said, "Mr. Qian, please get in the car. It's not safe for you to walk on the road alone. I am responsible for your safety."

Qian Yizhen got in the car reluctantly and said after sitting down: "Qinghe, let's go to the Workers' New Village to visit the commercial pedestrian street. I want to see the situation of the driver Xiaosun's grain and oil store.

Fifteen minutes later, Cui Qinghe parked the car at the grain and oil store on the commercial pedestrian street. Qian Yizheng got out of the car and walked into the grain and oil store. He saw Xiao Sun sorting the goods and checking the receipts.

The salesperson stood at the counter and greeted, "Come in, welcome."

Cui Qinghe came in and greeted, "Manager Sun, you are such a busy man. You haven't had lunch yet, right? Don't overwork yourself, our legless hero."

When the driver Xiao Sun heard someone calling him, he quickly looked up and saw Qian Yizhen standing in front of him. He said in a shy, surprised, and incoherent manner: "Mr. Qian, why are you here? I heard that you went to the United States for medical treatment. I am so happy to see you. Please take a seat."

Qian Yizhen said, "Xiao Sun, I heard that after the car accident, you had your limbs amputated and you got prosthetic limbs. Is your life convenient?"

The driver Xiao Sun said: "Mr. Qian, at first, I was very reluctant to go to Beijing to get prosthetic limbs because it was too expensive. Thank you for your kindness to me. After getting the prosthetic limbs, I have completely recovered the functions of my legs and feet, and I can move flexibly like a normal person. Hi, hi, hi."

Qian Yizhen said, "That's great. We have survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. How long has the grain and oil store been open? How is the performance?"

The driver Xiao Sun said: "Mr. Qian, the grain and oil store opened last spring. Professor Jiang Yuhan and Secretary Zhang Chuanren encouraged my wife and me to open a grain and oil store in the commercial pedestrian street to set an example.

At the same time, we promote and encourage merchants from all directions to settle in the Workers' New Village Commercial Pedestrian Street. After more than half a year of operation, 80% of the houses along the commercial pedestrian street have been rented out.

All the businesses that have opened have seen their sales continue to grow, so our company’s commercial pedestrian street will get better and better, hehe.”

Qian Yizhen said, "Xiao Sun, I have long felt that you have a talent for business. If you cooperate well with your comrade who sells rice and work hard, your grain and oil store will surely make a profit. But you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."

As they were talking, Xiao Sun's wife Song Aixia came in. She greeted Qian Yizhen and Cui Qinghe warmly, handed the lunch box to Xiao Sun and said, "Eat it while it's hot."

Qian Yizhen said: "Xiao Song has worked hard. He is busy at home and in the store."

Song Aixia said, "Mr. Qian, thank you. Since we opened the grain and oil store, my old Sun has become a different person. He has endless energy and makes money every day. The more he works, the more motivated he is. Being busy or tired is not a big deal, hehe."

Qian Yizhen said, "Xiao Song, you should go get a driver's license. It will be more convenient to have a car to buy and deliver goods to the grain and oil store. As far as I know, Xiao Sun is not qualified to drive. You need someone in your family who can drive."

Song Aixia said, "Mr. Qian, I am a rural woman who only graduated from elementary school. I dare not drive a car. That is a man's job."

Qian Yizhen said: "Learning to drive is not difficult. Who says women can't drive? That's an old idea from the old society. Now it's a new society and many women are driving."

The driver, Xiao Sun, replied, "Wife, go sign up for a driver's license. You will definitely learn it. Don't forget that I was a car soldier. Hurry up and worship me as your master. You will sleep with me when you learn to drive. Hahaha."

Qian Yizhen said, "Xiao Song, it's settled. Once you get your driver's license, I'll have the company equip the grain and oil store with a small truck for free."

The driver, Xiao Sun, said, "Mr. Qian, thank you. No need. When the grain and oil store makes money, we will buy a car ourselves."

Song Aixia said: "Don't bother Mr. Qian. At the current rate of making money, it won't be a problem for us to earn enough money to buy a car in half a year, hehe."

After chatting with the driver Xiao Sun and his wife, Qian Yizhen, Cui Qinghe and Xiao Sun visited several stores along the commercial pedestrian street, including daily necessities stores, stationery stores, cloth retail stores, sewing shops, clothing stores, butcher shops, steamed bun shops, tofu shops, hardware stores, etc. There were a wide variety of goods and people coming and going.

After strolling along the commercial pedestrian street, Qian Yizheng returned to the office building of the Dream Come True Group. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He went back to the talent apartment dormitory, washed up, and lay on the bed to rest his eyes.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang. Professor Jiang Yuhan called: "Yizhen, it's time for dinner. Come to the cafeteria to eat."

Qian Yizhen stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat right away, wait for me."

After having dinner in the cafeteria, Professors Qian Yizhen and Jiang Yuhan resumed their habit of taking walks around the factory which had been interrupted for two years. They chatted as they walked, full of energy.

Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "The new 10,000-person village project in Lijia Village, Daoguan Village and Dawan Village has been completed. The allocation of buildings and relocation work are proceeding in an orderly manner. I think the 10,000-person village should be given a meaningful new name."

Qian Yizhen said, "You have thought it through. Let's go to the Ancient Taoist Temple tomorrow and visit Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin and ask her to give the Wanren New Village a good name with a profound meaning."

Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "The reconstruction and construction of the Kuangfu Family Wine Museum is nearing completion. Should we hold an opening ceremony?"

Qian Yizhen said: "We must hold an opening ceremony and open it to the public. We should also invite leaders from the city's cultural center and museum to attend, hire journalists, and increase publicity efforts.

We will strive to build the Kuangfu Family Wine Museum into an educational base for the inheritance of wine culture in the northern provincial capital, so that people from all over the world can come to visit, browse and learn. "

Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "Okay, notify the manager of Kuangfujia Wine Co., Ltd. tomorrow to make preparations for the opening ceremony of the Kuangfujia Wine Museum."

Qian Yizhen said: "Professor Jiang, this afternoon, Cui Qinghe and I went to the commercial pedestrian street of Gongren New Village and strolled around. It was quite prosperous.

I went to the driver Xiao Sun's grain and oil shop and chatted with him for a while. I found that Xiao Sun was in good spirits. Although he was wearing prosthetic limbs, he was very agile and you couldn't tell at all that his feet were fake. "
