Chapter 137 Beautiful Second Brother
Chapter 137 Beautiful Second Brother
The next day, Ruan Ruan sorted out all the content that needed to be trained, and after ensuring that it was correct, she met the factory director who was about to take office under the introduction of Commander Gu. Chu Chaoyang, the former head of the Third Regiment of the Yuncheng Military Region, was arranged to be the director of the local machinery factory after retiring due to injury. However, because he was airborne, he took the position of the original director of the factory, and was squeezed out by the factory and was unable to start work in a short period of time.
As a tough soldier, he originally wanted to change his job, but Commander Gu called him and asked him to come and be the factory manager. So he had been dealing with work matters during this period, which was why he came late.
After understanding Director Chu's personality, Ruan Ruan felt that this person was a good choice. In this way, the director would manage internal affairs, and Zheng Xuyang would manage external affairs. The two were a perfect match!
Time passed quickly and it was time for training. Ruan Ruan arrived at the factory early that day and first held a small meeting with them in the office to let everyone get to know each other. Then he took everyone to the workshop. Now, with the veterans who came from all over the country, plus the dozens of female comrades and the leaders selected from each village, there were nearly 200 people standing in the workshop. For a newly established factory, this was already a good number.
Ruan Ruan first briefly explained the factory's reward and punishment regulations, followed by speeches by Director Chu and Director Zheng, and then Ruan Ruan began to train them.
The training lasted for a week, and only after everyone could accurately distinguish each medicinal herb were they allowed to go back and start collecting herbs.
Over the next week, Ruan Ruan used the collected medicinal materials to teach everyone how to make medicine. The first thing they made was a hemostatic medicine. After trying it out on soldiers and military hospitals and seeing the obvious results, Director Chu gave a certificate to Huo Haoshen and Zeng Yunye. The two of them took the medicine and started their journey to take orders across the country.
When the factory was back on track, Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Ruan Ruan asked Huo Haocheng to build a clay oven for her in the backyard to bake mooncakes.
On this day, Ruan Ruan was preparing the ingredients for making mooncakes at home when she heard Huo Haocheng and a group of people entering their yard.
"Ruan Ruan, come out quickly and see who's here?" Gu Jinghe shouted to Ruan Ruan in the kitchen as soon as he entered the yard.
When Ruan Ruan heard the voice, she immediately put down what she was holding and walked out with her hands covered with flour. She also wanted to know who was coming.
"Brother, why are you here?" Ruan Ruan saw that among the people who came, there were Ruan Shaohong and Ruan Shaolin, as well as Ge Xiaotian, Deng Yi, Lin Qingyuan, Su Yanqiu, who she had met in Beijing before, and a few others she didn't know. Why did these people come here suddenly? Ruan Ruan was very confused.
"Hello, little sister. I'm your second brother Ruan Shaoke. I was on a mission and couldn't come back when you came back. I'm sorry. This is a meeting gift for you. Although it's a little late, I still hope you like it." Ruan Shaoke, unlike the others, was wearing an air force uniform. She had heard from her second aunt before that her two sons, one was in the air force and the other was in the Liao Province Army, both very far away from them.
"Hello, second brother, my Ruan Ruan, I like it, I like it, second brother you are so handsome!" Ruan Ruan took the gift box and handed it to Huo Haocheng who was standing next to her. Looking at the handsome Ruan Shaoke, she was a little bit dazzled. His handsomeness was different from Huo Haocheng and Ruan Shaohong. Ruan Ruan felt that if he was in the 22nd century, Ruan Shaoke would be a perfect choice in the entertainment industry. He could be a top or a bottom, a man or a woman. His appearance was really amazing.
"Well, thank you for the compliment, I'm glad that you like it." Ruan Shaoke was not angry because Ruan Ruan was obsessed with him. Instead, he was very happy because his looks were liked by his younger sister.
Because of his face, no matter he is in the military or walking on the street, he always turns heads, so there are many female comrades around him. This is also the reason why he chose the Air Force. When he first joined the Air Force, his comrades jokingly asked him why he chose the Air Force. He said that as long as he flew into the sky, no one would surround him.
"I like it, I really like it so much!" Ruan Ruan was so happy when she heard her second brother's words. She thought it would be great if she could see her second brother often. Looking at a handsome guy makes her eat more!
"Ahem, second brother, that's enough. Hello, little sister. I'm your fourth brother, Ruan Shaoqin. I'm also very sorry that I couldn't make it back when you came back. So I brought you a little toy. You can play with it." Ruan Shaoqin is in the Liao Provincial Military Region. The living conditions there are very difficult. They are on the national border all year round and have to guard against harassment from neighboring small countries. Ruan Ruan knows that it is very difficult for them to take a vacation.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother. I like them all." Ruan Ruan took the box handed over by Ruan Shaoqin, and Huo Haocheng took it consciously.
"What are you doing? What's that on your hand? It doesn't look like flour." Gu Jinghe asked after he saw that they had finished talking. He looked at her hands for a long time. They were yellow. Flour wasn't that color.
"Hey! Brother, come in and sit down. There's water on the table. Pour it yourself. The fruits have been washed. Eat some first. I'm making mooncakes. Haocheng, can you help me check the mooncakes in the oven? Are they burnt?" When she heard Gu Jinghe's question, she remembered that she was still baking mooncakes in the oven. She quickly asked Huo Haocheng to help.
When the others heard her say that she was baking mooncakes, which they had never seen before, they put down what they were holding and followed Huo Haocheng to the oven in the backyard, helping Huo Haocheng take them out one by one. Immediately, a sweet aroma of flour entered their nostrils.
"This is really so fragrant and beautiful. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful mooncake." They took out mooncakes as big as bowls, with patterns of bamboo or orchids on the outside. The molds were made by Huo Haocheng for her. When they were printed out, Ruan Ruan also thought they looked very beautiful.
"It looks good, right? I think it's very good. Isn't Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? I'll make more and send some to my family then." Ruan Ruan looked at the mooncakes just out of the oven. Fortunately, they were not burnt, just right.
"It will be cold soon. You can all try it. I made five-nut ones, egg yolk ones, meat ones, and sugar ones. I don't know if you can get used to them."
"Then we must try Sister Ruan's mooncakes. There are so many kinds of fillings, and we haven't eaten them yet!"
“Yes, it looks delicious.”
"That's right. Don't you see who made this? Let me tell you, nothing my sister cooks is bad." During this period, Gu Jinghe would come to their house for dinner whenever he had time. No matter whether it was the cold noodles made by Ruan Ruan, or the jelly, or other dishes, he loved them all.
"Oh, really? It seems like you've eaten a lot recently!" Ruan Shaolin stepped forward and put his arms around Gu Jinghe's neck. He just saw his long-missed sister today. This kid is so good. Not only can he see her often during this period, but he also eats a lot of food she cooks. He really deserves to be punished.
"That's right, brothers, let's beat him up and see if he can still show off." As they said that, several people stepped forward and dragged Gu Jinghe to the front yard.
"Hahahaha" Ruan Ruan saw Gu Jinghe being held up by one of their arms and walked out, with someone covering his mouth. He looked really miserable. She laughed so happily.
In order to avoid being accidentally hurt by them, she just stood inside the door of the living room, watching their performance with a smile. Huo Haocheng and Ruan Shaoke stood on her left and right, and they were also very happy to see her so happy.
Huo Haocheng has always been happy because of his wife's happiness, while Ruan Shaoke thinks that his sister is just fine as long as she is happy doing what she likes.
