Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 784: Stand out!

When Wu Aiguo heard Sha Zhu's words, he thought of his newborn daughter and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said to Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu! Xiao Jing just gave birth, so I definitely can't go to the office today. Please help me prepare lunch in the cafeteria at noon, and then bring the stewed chicken soup and arrange for someone to deliver it to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the People's Hospital for me."

When Sha Zhu heard Wu Aiguo's arrangement, he immediately assured Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Don't worry, I will personally deliver your lunch to the hospital after I have dealt with the cafeteria."

When Wu Aiguo heard Sha Zhu's promise, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu! Thank you for your help! I'm going to call my dad and tell him the good news. I won't talk to you any more."

When Sha Zhu heard what Wu Aiguo said, he immediately replied with a smile: "Aiguo! Go and do whatever you want. I will arrange lunch for you and Dr. Liang."

After Wu Aiguo finished talking to the fool, he reached out and hung up the phone. Then he shook the phone handle a few times. Only when he heard the operator's question did he speak to the operator, "Comrade! Please help me transfer the call to the special workshop of the steel rolling mill."

"This is the special workshop. Who are you looking for?" The call was connected quickly. Before Wu Aiguo could open his mouth to speak, Wu Pingshan's questioning voice came from the phone.

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's familiar question, he introduced himself to Wu Pingshan happily, "Dad! It's me! Aiguo! Xiaojing just gave birth successfully in the hospital. Both mother and daughter are safe!"

"What! Aiguo! What did you say? Xiaojing gave birth, is this true?" When Wu Pingshan learned that his second daughter-in-law had given birth successfully, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on his face, and he hurried to confirm the news with Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's question and felt the surprise in Wu Pingshan's words. He happily replied, "Dad! This is absolutely true. You have another granddaughter."

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he happily asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Does your mother know about this?"

When Wu Aiguo heard his father mention his mother, he remembered that he had not yet returned home to inform his mother.

Facing Wu Pingshan's question, Wu Aiguo quickly explained, "Dad! After I received the call from Xiaojing's mother, I rushed to the hospital immediately. For a moment, I forgot to go home and tell my mother the news."

After hearing Wu Aiguo's answer, Wu Pingshan raised his wrist to check the time and said to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! As for your mother, when I get off work, go home and tell her. You don't have to make this special trip. Also, ask Xiaojing what she wants to eat. I'll ask your mother to cook for her."

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's instructions and thought of the phone call he had just made to Sha Zhu, he quickly said to Wu Pingshan, "Dad! I've asked Brother Zhuzi to help prepare Xiaojing's lunch, so there's no need for us to prepare anything else. In addition, I sent everything the child needs to the hospital yesterday, so you and my mom don't have to prepare anything specially."

After hearing what Wu Aiguo said, Wu Pingshan became extremely happy when he thought about the fact that their Wu family had another baby. He said to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Your mother and I will come to the hospital to see Xiaojing and the child at noon."

"Director Wu! You must have picked up money today. Why are you so happy?" After Wu Pingshan finished his phone call with Wu Aiguo, he walked out of the office humming a little tune with a happy look on his face. A team leader in the workshop saw Wu Pingshan's happy expression and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Wu Pingshan curiously.

When Wu Pingshan heard the team leader's question, he thought of his family's new granddaughter and happily introduced: "Wang Jun! My second son's wife just gave birth to a little granddaughter for me. How can I not be happy?" Wang Jun heard Wu Pingshan's introduction and learned that Wu Aiguo's wife had given birth. He immediately congratulated Wu Pingshan: "Director Wu! So that's what happened. Then I'm here to congratulate you on becoming a grandfather again."

Wang Jun's congratulations made Wu Pingshan feel even happier. He asked him with a smile, "Wang Jun! I remember your boy has been an apprentice in the team for two years. I think it's time for you to arrange a marriage for him so that you can have a grandson sooner like me."

When Wang Jun heard Wu Pingshan's words, he immediately thought of his own unreliable son, which made him unconsciously compare his son with Wu Pingshan's son. It would have been better if he hadn't compared them. As soon as he did, Wang Jun felt a sense of disappointment in his son.

Thinking of his own son, Wang Jun said to Wu Pingshan with a frustrated look on his face: "Director Wu! If those boys in my family could have one tenth of the ability of your Aiguo, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams."

For Wu Pingshan, his second son, Wu Aiguo, is his lifelong pride. When Wu Pingshan heard Wang Jun mention Wu Aiguo, he felt very proud, but he replied very modestly: "Wang Jun! Children and grandchildren have their own blessings! As long as your kid is willing to work hard, I believe he will be able to make a name for himself sooner or later."

When Wang Jun heard Wu Pingshan's polite words, he thought of his son's character and replied with a smile: "Director Wu! Thank you for your kind words!"

“We workers have the power!”

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, a loud singing voice suddenly rang out inside the steel mill.

When Wu Pingshan heard the song coming from the radio, he did not take his lunch box and go to the nearest canteen to get food as usual. Instead, he took his bicycle key and walked towards the parking shed.

"Old man! Why did you suddenly come back at noon today? Have you eaten? If not, then sit down and eat something." Chen Shuying, who was sitting at the dining table with her children, saw Wu Pingshan suddenly come back and asked Wu Pingshan in surprise.

When Wu Pingshan heard Chen Shuying's question, he thought of Liang Jing's smooth delivery and quickly introduced her to Chen Shuying, "Shuying! Xiao Jing is born. Aiguo didn't have time to come back to inform you, so he called me and asked me to come back to tell you."

"What! Xiaojing gave birth. When did this happen? Was it a boy or a girl? Why did you come back to tell the news just now?" When Chen Shuying learned the news of Liang Jing's childbirth, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly asked Wu Pingshan.

"Dad! Did my second sister-in-law give birth to a boy or a girl?" When Wu Aili learned the news of Liang Jing's delivery, she immediately asked Wu Pingshan curiously.

When Wu Pingshan heard his wife and daughter's question, he immediately introduced: "Shuying! Xiaojing gave birth to a little granddaughter for us. Aiguo had to take care of Xiaojing in the hospital and couldn't come back to tell you the news, so he called me. I just got off work and rushed back to tell you the news."
