The news that the city's diesel engine factory had been successfully acquired had spread throughout the municipal building by the time I got to work in the afternoon.

One of the offices.

"Have you heard? The diesel engine factory has been sold."

"Has the diesel engine factory been sold? Wasn't it still wrangling some time ago?"

Xiang Chongwen was sitting at his desk, drinking tea leisurely, listening to the gossip of his colleagues, and asked casually: "Are you sure you sold it?"

"Sure!"

"Director Xiang, the person who bought the diesel engine factory has the same surname as you. He used to be the darling of the major factories in the city. He was very good at machinery. He would be asked to fix the machinery that each factory could not handle. Now he is buying diesel engines.

Factory, with his familiarity with machinery, he can easily revitalize the factory."

"You're not talking about Xiang Yisen, the city's mechanical engineer, are you?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Buying a diesel engine factory is not cheap. How did a mechanical engineer get so much money?" someone asked.

"Cats have cat lanes, mice have mouse lanes, where do you care about other people's money?"

...

Such discussions could be heard throughout the afternoon at the municipal government building.

Of all the factories in the city, the Diesel Engine Factory was the first state-owned factory to be successfully acquired by an individual. No wonder these people made a fuss and talked about it.

Xiang Chongwen was stunned at first and then became numb after hearing too much, but he couldn't think of anything in his mind like when did Xiang Yisen or the Xiang family become so rich?

There are some things that cannot stand to be thought about carefully, and it is extremely scary to think about them carefully!

Could it be that the Xiang family has been cunning enough to hide a lot of things in their movements over the past ten years? Has everyone been deceived?

I can’t figure it out!

So much so that when he got home from get off work, his mind was still confused.

"Dad, why did you get off work so late today?"

Xiang Qin and Mi Qianjin were sitting in the living room watching TV. They were slightly surprised to see Xiang Chongwen enter the house without saying a word.

When Xiang Chongwen went home, he always smiled slightly when facing his family. Today, he was in no mood to care about other people's feelings.

"Don't do nothing when you're pregnant. Just sit around and wait for others to serve you. Go and get me a glass of water."

"Dad!" Xiang Qin's beautiful eyes widened with undisguised shock, "You, what happened to you today?"

Xiang Chongwen has never spoken to her in such a tone since she was a child!

In shock, she sat there and forgot to move.

Mi Qian thought that Xiang's father might have encountered something unpleasant. Seeing Xiang Qin sitting beside him in a daze without getting up, he stood up with a wink, took the teapot and porcelain cup from the high cabinet, and gave them to Xiang Qin.

Father poured a cup of herbal tea.

"Dad, you've come all the way back, please have a cup of tea first."

Xiang Chongwen frowned slightly, but still picked up the cup and drank.

He put down the cup and asked casually: "Go forward, Ichimori's current lover is your adopted daughter. Do you have any contact with each other on a regular basis?"

Hearing this, Mi Qianqian's action of pouring tea paused for a moment. He didn't know what Father Xiang meant by asking about this at this time.

He lowered his head, stared at the tea cup on the table, and said calmly: "Since she started working, she rarely had time to meet each other. Later, she found her biological father and her family, and they had less contact. Dad, why did you think of asking today?

she?"

Xiang Chongwen didn't answer but asked instead: "Your family is very kind to her, but why do you have less contact with her after she joins the work? Is it because she is unkind or unrighteous, or has your family ever treated her harshly?"

From now on, let the little girl hold a grudge in her heart?

Mi Qianqian's heart tightened, he took a breath, and then frowned slightly and said: "My little girl has left home and has been away from home these years. I don't know much about her situation, and I have never heard her parents talk about her situation. However, in

Which of our rural families' children have not done farm work since they were young? If doing farm work is considered harsh treatment, our Mi family has nothing to say."

Xiang Chongwen nodded after hearing these words. I don't know if he believed this or not.

Xiang Qin asked: "Dad, why did you suddenly talk about that woman today? Did she do something to make you unhappy? Did she offend you?"

Xiang Chongwen shook his head solemnly, "No, she didn't mess with me."

"Then you..."

"Your brother-in-law bought the entire diesel engine factory this morning." Xiang Chongwen interrupted Xiang Qin's question and rubbed his hair in annoyance: "I can't think of where they got such a large amount of money.

?”

"Buy the entire diesel engine factory?" Xiang Qin was so shocked that he couldn't recover, with undisguised astonishment in his eyes.

Mi Jinjin was equally shocked, but the expression on his face was well managed. He wanted to ask if the news was accurate?

Later, I expected that my father-in-law would not give ambiguous news.

Xiang's mother, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, came out with the dishes. She happened to hear the last two sentences of the conversation between father and daughter. She immediately put the food bowl on the table excitedly and came over to hold Xiang Chongwen's arm tightly.

"He bought the diesel engine factory. Where did he get the money? Didn't you say that their house was no different from a shabby house? Why did he buy the entire factory with such a large sum of money now?"

The pain coming from his arm made Xiang Chongwen feel unhappy. He shook off the claws on his arm: "He and I are brothers across the room, how do I know about him?"

Mi Qianjin watched with cold eyes as the three members of the Yue family were not calm, especially the mother-in-law's face, which was ferocious due to jealousy, and looked particularly ugly at the moment.

However, I felt extremely unconvinced when I thought that Xiang Yisen was not as good as him in the past, and it was all because of his good luck that he married Yu Qing.

Xiang Yisen didn't know that there were still people who were jealous of him for marrying a good wife. At the moment, he was cooking and making soup in the kitchen to feed his wife and children.

It gets dark later in the summer, but today it rained in the afternoon, so the sky was overcast, but it wasn't dark outside yet.

Yu Qing stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the green peppers that had been moistened by the rain. Several peppers had grown on each tree.

When I look at these chili peppers, I think of stir-fried chili peppers, dry stir-fried chili peppers, stir-fried chili peppers, etc.

"Husband, how about we stir-fry pork with chili and stir-fry chili tonight?"

Xiang Yisen added salt to the soup. When he heard this, he turned around and said disapprovingly: "Both of these dishes are peppers. Pregnant women eating too much peppers are not good for the baby."

Yu Qing was so greedy for these peppers that she could not give up: "This is the first batch of peppers produced by the pepper tree. There is no spicy taste. You can fry them as long as you like. I promise it will only be a little spicy and will not affect the baby in your belly."

"

"Yeah?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Xiang Yisen doubtfully took the ceramic soup pot off the stove, wiped his hands and took out an enamel basin.

He stood on the side of the road. The vegetable field was full of mud. He did not go down to the vegetable field. He stretched out his hand to pick the peppers and said, "I believe you for now. If the peppers are too spicy, you must not eat them."

"I know." Yu Qing chuckled, walked over, and picked peppers with him.

She didn't lie. The first batch of chili peppers were really not spicy, and the cooking was quite fragrant.
