Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1111: Chapter 1112: Hope for the Future

When Qi Taiguo returned home from the army, he saw Ning Ge sitting on the sofa with a mournful expression, causing his curiosity.

"What’s up with him? Did he receive any blow?" Qi Taiguo whispered.

Cheng Su stifled a giggle and said, "Him? He’s been rivaled in love!"

Qi Taiguo raised an eyebrow, Cheng Su caught a whiff of sweat from him and said, "Did you do some training? You’re all sweaty, go wash up quickly. I just need to stir-fry two more dishes, and then we can eat!"

"Alright!" Qi Taiguo replied while, seizing a moment when Ning Ge wasn’t paying attention, quickly pecked Cheng Su’s cheek.

Cheng Su was embarrassed and grumbled, "You’re asking for trouble!" Then she glanced at Ning Ge’s side, and fortunately, he was absorbed in his own thoughts and didn’t notice.

Qi Taiguo had a triumphant look on his face.

Little did they know, Ning Ge had already observed their playful teasing, but he pretended not to have seen it.

He broke into a wry smile; everyone seemed to be coupled up while he was left alone, perhaps it was time for him to find someone.

Leaving the living room to them, Cheng Su brought the food to the kitchen where Guiying was cooking with Cancan strapped to her back.

"Cancan is already over half a year old. Are you planning to take care of the child yourself or what, not going back to work?" Cheng Su asked.

"I can only take care of him myself, and pick up some handicraft work. There are several brothers in Dahe’s family, and my mother-in-law already has many grandchildren to look after, she can’t manage. Dahe said, let’s take care of our own. Once Cancan goes to kindergarten, I can work!" Guiying replied.

"Then life will have to be a bit tight for now!" Cheng Su said.

"What other options do I have? Besides, I can’t bear to be apart from the child myself!" Guiying laughed. "Now isn’t the subsidy increased? If we spend wisely, we can manage to get by. Life now is much better than before."

Cheng Su appreciated Guiying’s open-minded personality, and said, "You’re absolutely right. When paying attention to life, whether it’s rich or poor, you manage to get through. The key is that your family is all together, and that’s worth more than anything."

"That’s what I think too!" Guiying smiled sweetly.

Chunhua dragged her tired body home from work and, seeing them busy in the kitchen, asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Not much, just about the kids," Guiying laughed. "Are you off work?"

"Yeah, I’m exhausted!" Seeing Cheng Su looking at her, she quickly smiled and said, "But it’s worth it, the pay is high."

"Stop with the flattery, just do your best. Now the company is planning to expand southwards, and if business continues to improve, it’ll become increasingly busier. If business prospers, the factory won’t be able to keep up, it will gradually expand, and when it expands, there’ll naturally be more staff required, and eventually, different levels of management will be established. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you perform well now and lay down a solid foundation, learning and reflecting more, there’ll be greater chances for promotion and pay rises in the future." Cheng Su said, "It’s tough now, but see it as gaining experience, build good relations with others, don’t complain, and you’ll realize later that this current hardship is worthwhile!"

Cheng Su was teaching Chunhua not to whine; no boss is blind, they clearly know who is competent and who isn’t.

"Got it." Chunhua nodded eagerly; despite the fatigue, she actually felt it was quite rewarding. At least it wasn’t like before where she was idle and indulged in gossip, and the monthly salary was considerable as well; having money made her family’s life gradually better.

Now hearing Cheng Su talk about future promotion opportunities, she was naturally even happier.

"Sister Chunhua, your life is looking more promising, it’s wonderful!" Guiying said enviously.

Noting Guiying’s envy, Chunhua felt even more proud; a life full of prospects is certainly good.
