"It's still the sauerkraut accumulated at home."

Liu Yin came out of the kitchen, smiled and said to Han Shu: "Teacher Han, don't you have taboos?"

"Auntie, we both like to eat sauerkraut, you don't have to be so polite."

Han Shu coaxed Li Ning with a smile, sat on the sofa in the restaurant and replied: "Our family throws away a lot of money every year, but this year we don't dare to accumulate more."

"Put in more fat and oil."

Li Xuewu explained to Qin Jingru: "The sauerkraut tastes best when it contains oil."

"Only you know how to eat it!" Liu Yin nodded at him with a smile and asked Han Shu, "Do you like steamed or boiled food?"

"Auntie, if you are so polite, I won't dare to eat it, haha——"

Han Shu stood up with Li Ning in his arms and explained to Liu Yin: "Xuewu calls me teacher, and you also call me sister-in-law. We are real relatives."

"Haha - yes, then I will call you Han Shu." Liu Yin said with a smile: "Let's make the filling more honest today and eat it steamed. It will be more delicious."

"Listen to you, no matter how I eat it, it tastes delicious." Han Shu said to Li Ning: "If you are picky about dumplings, what are you doing, haha!"

In fact, Liu Yin and Han Shu had met several times, and after being introduced by Li Xuewu, they also knew their respective identities. This was not the first time they called them aunt.

But there were a lot of people there those few times, and everyone was polite to each other without saying a few words.

Today, Han Shu came alone with his son Dong Mengyuan, and Liu Yin was here. Hearing his son call him Teacher Han, he became polite.

Speaking of which, Liu Yin's own eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son are both university teachers, so there is nothing novel or awe-inspiring about this profession.

However, Li Xuewu called back in the afternoon to explain, and after asking more questions, she found out that this was still the teacher at the school where her son was currently pursuing further education.

Li Xuewu didn't know much about the kitchen. He just gave instructions on the phone to prepare the food. His mother and Qin Jingru still had the final say on what to eat.

Qin Jingru knew a little about Han Shu. When Gu Ning gave birth, Jinling's mother came, and Han Shu brought the child as a guest. The food they ate at that time was dumplings, so this time they were treated to dumplings.

It's not as delicious as dumplings.

When choosing the stuffing, Liu Yin also took out the remaining sauerkraut from the refrigerator and chopped it all into stuffing. The pork belly that Li Xuewu brought back a few days ago was just the right amount to make the stuffing.

"Dumplings! Dumplings are delicious! So delicious!"

When Li Shu saw that the adults were pleased with her, she was not idle either, so she crowded forward and started shouting.

"You know it again, right?"

Liu Yin put some white noodles on her granddaughter's forehead and teased her with a smile: "I wanted to eat pastries just now, and now I want to eat dumplings. Are you a greedy little cat?"

"I, I'm not-"

Li Shu pointed her little finger at her younger brother who was being held by her aunt and said, "My younger brother is a greedy little cat. My younger brother said he wants to eat pastries and dumplings."

"Brother said that? Why didn't I hear it?" Liu Yin teased her: "Li Shu didn't say she wanted to eat, right? Then I'll give my brother some dumplings, so Li Shu won't eat them."

"I eat too, and my brother eats and I eat too -" Li Shu jumped twice and tried hard to climb onto the sofa, but her legs were short and she could only jump around.

Li Ning was drooling and looked at the little sister jumping on the ground in confusion, his big eyes curiously looking at everything in the room.

He has reached the stage of drooling, and the corners of his mouth are always wet. You have to use a towel to gently wipe it. The child's skin is delicate, and if it is a little heavier, it will become red and swollen if it is more frequent.

It will take at least two months to stop drooling. By then, teeth will be coming in, and the little tongue will be chattering to speak.

Gu Ning changed her clothes and came downstairs, taking the child from Han Shu's hand.

"Do you want to sink your hands? I'm tired from holding it."

"It's not bad, it's heavier than Mengyuan when he was a child."

Han Shu smiled and patted Li Ning's butt, saying: "This fat boy, this little butt!"

"Acridine——!"

Li Ning lay in her mother's arms and shouted loudly, but she kicked her calves to prevent her from being patted.

Li Xuewu smiled and explained to Han Shu: "You can touch us anywhere, but you can't touch our butts and necks. If you touch them, you will become anxious."

"He knows he's scared!"

Qin Jingru came out of the kitchen with a bowl of stuffing and said with a smile: "I said, just scare him to fall. I put my little hands around your neck, not to scare him at all."

"The older I get, the harder it is to coax me. If I don't sleep at night, I'll have to make a fuss when I get up in the middle of the night."

Li Xuewu went to the kitchen to wash his hands. When he came back, he wanted to help make dumplings, but his mother kicked him out: "I don't need your help. I just have more work. Come and sit in the living room and talk."

"Then we're welcome—"

Han Shu smiled and picked up Li Shu and went to the living room with Gu Ning. Knowing that Li Xuewu had something to say to her, she couldn't go back too late and could only eat ready-made food.

Dong Mengyuan has also reached the age where he likes toys, and his little sister Li Shu's toy basket is an eye-opener for him.

My toys are all packed in a wooden box, while my sister’s sister has four large baskets of toys, not counting those buried in the sandpit in the house.

Li Shu is talkative and loves to talk, but she is not stingy. Whether it is Dong Mengyuan or Fu Zhidong from Gangcheng, she will not handle these toys.

The little brother likes to play, and she also plays with him, without saying anything about grabbing or not letting him play.

There is one bad thing, though: she always wants to teach her little brothers how to play with toys. Her way of playing is purely destructive, and she doesn't feel bad if there are too many toys.

Most of the cars Dong Mengyuan dug out had missing wheels or missing parts.

Today's toys are mostly made of iron and can withstand being beaten. If they were made of plastic in later generations, they would have been torn to pieces long ago.

The first porcelain doll she bought for her, if Li Xue hadn't put it away early when she saw it, would have been torn apart and lost forever.

Whenever Li Xuewu goes on a business trip, he always thinks about buying toys for his daughter. Gu Yan always buys them box by box every time he comes back.

Coupled with the concern of Ji Weidong and Lao Biaozi, there are still many unboxed Li Shu's new toys, which is really hard to play with.

"I want! I want to go to the ground——"

Li Shu saw her little brother playing with cars, looked at her aunt and said, "I want to go down."

Han Shu held her in his arms without letting go, and asked with a smile: "What do you call me? Call me and let me listen. I will let you go if you listen well."

"I...aunt!"

Li Shu covered Han Shu's face with her little hands and gave Han Shu a hard smack, but she didn't want to act coquettishly.

Han Shu was amused by her and laughed. He placed her in front of his son and warned her: "Let your sister play with you, but don't bully her——"

Before Dong Mengyuan nodded in agreement, Li Shu nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yeah, aunt, I understand, I won't bully him!"

------------------

"What does your unit think?"

I listened to Li Xuewu’s explanation on the need for the support of scientific and technological talents for the introduction of technology and new equipment.

At the same time, we also learned about the determination and goals of Red Star Factory to recruit scientific and technological talents.

Han Shu frowned slightly and reminded: "In this period of talent enrichment and technological monopoly, aren't you afraid that a big tree will attract trouble?"

"The tree is already very big, and the wind has been blowing for a long time. Now we have to do it as a last resort."

Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea and said: "Red Star Factory is already on the road of no return and must succeed. Looking back will inevitably lead to collapse and death, so we can only bite the bullet and move forward."

He put down the teacup and picked up the teapot to refill the hot tea for Han Shu and Gu Ning, and continued: "The Red Star Factory is used as the vanguard and the experimental product."

"Our factory itself also wants to take a path that leads the times and grasps the development context, so we must accumulate and enrich ourselves in science and technology. There is no way."

"It's too radical. I don't object to your rapid development, but if it expands like a snowball, be careful not to eat enough and it will explode."

Han Shu shook his head slightly and said: "Of course you are thinking that the technicians and scholars are currently undergoing a kind of training and experience, in exchange for their loyalty in exchange for a more superior life."

"But have you ever thought that this kind of loyalty is extreme and limited by the times? What about the future? Don't think about it anymore?"

"Then we have to have time to think about it, but what we lack most is time."

Li Xuewu folded his right leg and sighed: "The current development of Red Star Factory is like cooking oil in a raging fire. A slight mistake will lead to a big mistake."

“The factory leaders’ consideration is still to control the break-even point of production and sales.”

He slapped his thigh and said: "Since last year, the Red Star Factory has cut off its own retreat. Didn't you find that the changes in our factory are faster than the general environment?"

"Be brave enough to take on important responsibilities and be a pioneer of change."

When Han Shu said this, there was not much envy or admiration, but more worry.

Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu both played important roles in the development of Red Star Factory.

The Red Star Factory succeeds and the Red Star Factory fails.

We should not only see how much benefit they will gain after Red Star Factory becomes Red Star Steel Group, but we should also see the setbacks they will suffer when Red Star Factory fails to become a group.

Han Shu considered advancement and retreat from a comprehensive perspective. It was not as life-or-death as Li Xuewu said, but more comprehensive.

She thought for a while and said: "Have you considered splitting the business to reduce risks and improve the ability to withstand risks caused by policy changes?"

"Spin-off? No, we prefer integration and industrialization. This is a more stable development path."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Spin-off can quickly weaken the risks brought by radicalization, but it also cuts off an arm. If it breaks too much, there will be no hope of groupization."

"But the big factory situation you have now is a threat, you know?"

Han Shu reminded: "Unless you can continue to obtain high-quality, high-efficiency orders, it will be difficult to maintain these people and maintain the production plan. Where can you get so many raw materials?"
