Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 641: Accident

After Mrs. Ai’s inspection was over, the funding for building the school also arrived.

This time a total of ninety-nine elementary schools were built.

Then contracts for the supply and sales of rice, flour, vegetables, and meat were also signed.

After Mrs. Ai left with her child, things here started to operate quickly.

Then, it was Gu Huai’an’s turn to get promoted.

He was still the head of Beihang Base but now held additional positions.

He was mainly in charge of technology.

After things settled down, Gu Huai’an took Song Yunuan to the laboratory at the base that belonged solely to him.

This time it was to show Song Yunuan the latest research results.

Now, this place was also equipped with electronic computers.

Gu Huai’an showed Song Yunuan how to create special effects, a byproduct developed from that energy source. He had worked overtime to complete this specifically because Song Yunuan’s side was filming a mythology movie.

The special effects weren’t in their final form yet and still needed improvement.

But this time, Gu Huai’an’s department also joined in.

If this was successful, the significance would be different.

After Gu Huai’an showed all this to Song Yunuan, they exchanged opinions and then Gu Huai’an drove her back to the city.

Nowadays, there were more and more cars in Beidu City and some people had started running taxis.

Bicycles were still the mainstream, and many girls liked riding women’s bikes, which many people liked to call the "ladies’ bike". Even in skirts, it seemed there were no major hindrances.

Last year, Hai Shaoqing and Old Master Lew invested in the Beidu Bicycle Factory, adding production lines and new styles, and now almost all the bicycles seen in the streets and alleys were of this brand.

Bicycles were no longer scarce items that required coupons for purchase.

Not only had the prices dropped, but bargaining stores had also appeared. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Even without industrial vouchers, as long as one had money, they could purchase them all the same.

Gu Huai’an drove his car into an alley.

Although it was an alley, it was much wider than ordinary ones.

The alleys of Beidu City twisted and turned, some were inaccessible by car, but there were special places like this part of the inner city.

It was approaching noon, so Gu Huai’an naturally took Song Yunuan out to eat.

They ate hotpot, which was suitable as it was the end of autumn.

Unexpectedly, they ran into two people at the hotpot restaurant.

So two tables were joined into one, and they moved to a private room.

Song Yunuan looked at her eldest aunt and Jin Ju with a beaming smile.

She had not expected these two to be dining together.

And it was just the two of them, without inviting her.

Previously, they would always call her over when dining.

There were no missed calls on her Dongfang Hong.

So, the two must have come quietly, perhaps on a date?

Though she smiled, Song Yunuan wasn’t one to pry. Unexpectedly, Jin Ju said, "I was planning to notify you all one by one, but since we’ve seen the two of you, let’s just say it now. In a few days, I’m planning to go abroad — to a country... that you probably know. I want to be a war correspondent."

Xia Xindong said slowly from the side, "I’m going with her."

Song Yunuan’s eyes widened abruptly.

Then the Jin Ju sitting next to her also froze, with an incredulous look at Xia Xindong.

Clearly, Jin Ju hadn’t known in advance.

And Song Yunuan knew even less.

Their encounter today was purely a coincidence.

Last night she had dinner at her grandma’s place. Her grandma didn’t mention anything, so it must have been kept from the family.

Since they sat down to eat together, Xia Xindong also ordered lamb rolls, vegetable and shrimp balls, and tripe.

While eating, Jin Ju used the serving chopsticks to rinse lamb for Little Nuan, then placed it into a small bowl with sauce that had been adjusted to taste.

"Let’s eat first. Even though we’re in a private room, the door is open, so it’s naturally not very convenient to talk."

Gu Huai’an and Xia Xindong chatted sporadically as Song Yunuan ate and pondered.

Now, Eldest Aunt managed the garment factory in Erdao River Village. Although most of the focus had shifted to Beidu, the part in Nanshan County Town was just as important.

After all, it was a major factory locally, with over a thousand workers—it mattered a lot.

Then, because grandma had Old Mrs. Song there, she also stayed in Beidu.

After all, she had two children studying there.

No matter what, the quality of education here was much better than in Nanshan County Town.

Of course, Song Yunuan agreed. She took the opportunity to set down her household registration rapidly, so no matter where she went later, it would be convenient.

Afterward, the children’s household registrations were also successfully set up.

This was simple; Gu Huai’an took the time to handle it all.

For this reason, Eldest Aunt simply decided to live in Beidu with the children and grandma.

Ma Cuifen had finally been relieved since that matter was resolved.

Then she and Xia Guilan got busy with the affairs of Zhilan Garment Factory.

Lian Xiang enjoyed designing and was the deputy director in charge of design at the old factory district. It was impossible to do without her in Erdao River for the moment, plus Song He had entered the Nanshan Cadre College and became the head of instruction, so they as a couple didn’t follow to Nanshan County Town temporarily.

As for Third Son Song, Song Nian, and Sun Jinrong, one became the deputy director of a timber factory, and the other was transferred to the finance bureau.

Both held public positions and had become cadres.

That means they were workers before, but now they are government officials.

Of course, they couldn’t just pick up and leave like Ma Cuifen and Xia Guilan.

However, they did send Huzi over.

And naturally, the two children from Second Son Song’s family as well.

Old Mrs. Song complained to Zhu Feng behind their backs, originally thinking she could enjoy a relaxed retirement in Beidu, but now, ironically, the children were all sent over, as if they were afraid of being shortchanged otherwise.

But what could she say?

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh.

If the parents don’t worry about their children, she wouldn’t care either.

It was just that she was a grandma and didn’t have the obligation to raise grandchildren.

Each family had to pay. Don’t think just because I’m an old lady with some money, I should raise your children for you.

When she asked Sun Jinrong to give money, Sun Jinrong didn’t really want to pay. To be frank, compared to most people in the Song family, the two of them had the worst living conditions.

There was no need to elaborate on Song Liang’s household. With Song Yunuan, the golden child, it was like guarding a mountain of gold. The Song family’s fortunes were leaning on Little Nuan, a fact Sun Jinrong didn’t dare contest and indeed was the truth.

And Song He’s household situation wasn’t much different from hers.

Song He also had a respectable job, which was unimaginable in the past.

And the same was actually true for Sun Jinrong.

Now a deputy section chief in the finance bureau, she used to gaze up at the bureau’s entrance with awe, not even daring to enter.

But now... she was the deputy section chief.

Speaking of which, all this shade was thanks to the big tree that was Little Nuan, something Sun Jinrong was well aware of.

But if you really get down to it, they earned just a fixed salary.

However, Lian Xiang had been working all along, and over the years, she had certainly earned a good amount of money.

There was no need to mention Old Man Song and Old Mrs. Song.

Though Old Man Song still lived in the old house in Erdao River Village, everyone knew that the Song family had bought a house in Beidu, even if it was an apartment, they also had a vegetable garden.

Even if he went to Beidu, Old Man Song could still fish and grow vegetables.
