Chapter 148: Truth
"Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, wake up quickly, look at Daddy."
It was very cold in the morning in the middle of winter. Pei Huaiye also stayed in bed with Su Qianyue, teasing the two little cubs.
Su Qianyue gave him a glare, her voice lazy and coquettish. "Don't wake the children up."
Pei Huaiye smiled, turned his head to kiss her face, and then casually poked the tips of the two little cubs' noses.
Tuantuan moved her little mouth a few times, held her little fists against her head, hummed twice, and continued to sleep.
Yuanyuan opened his eyes, grinned to reveal his pink gums, shouted "yi-ya" twice, and started sucking his fingers.
"Yuanyuan baby is hungry, let Mommy feed you."
Pei Huaiye placed Yuanyuan on his side in Su Qianyue's arms, letting her feed the child. By the time Yuanyuan was full, Tuantuan was still sleeping.
Pei Huaiye went to pinch Tuantuan's little nose and ears. "Silly Tuantuan, if you don't eat, your brother will finish it all!"
Tuantuan finally woke up. Perhaps because she was disturbed, she pouted her little mouth, whimpered twice, and let out a "waa" as she started crying.
Su Qianyue glared over, and Pei Huaiye was so scared he quickly picked up the child and coaxed her skillfully. "Tuantuan, be good, you won't cry once you're full."
Su Qianyue patted him and took the child to feed her. "Hmph, you're unreliable. It's the same if the child eats after waking up."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
Pei Huaiye lowered his head and kissed Su Qianyue's forehead. "I'll go cook."
The two milk-babies were five months old. Every time they ate, they would flap their little arms and legs to hook the food on the table, especially Tuantuan, whose drool flowed quite long.
"I'm done eating, I'll hold the children. You take two bags of malted milk and milk powder to Huaimei, and let him give them to Gaogao to drink."
Pei Huaiye smiled. "Aren't you afraid they'll steal it and drink it?"
Ever since Pei Huaiye completely severed ties with the two old Pei folks, they didn't dare to mess around anymore. After all, Gaogao was their own grandson, and they wouldn't withhold food and drink if they had it in the house.
"Anyway, Gaogao is their own grandson; if they have a conscience, they won't fight the child for food!"
Pei Huaiye rubbed her hair. "Don't be angry, it's fine if you can't ask."
This was a while ago, after the Pei family severed ties, Su Qianyue had intentionally asked about Pei Huaiye's background in front of Pei Fugui, only to be scolded terribly.
The look in Chen Lianzhen and her husband's eyes when they looked at Pei Huaiye didn't look like they were looking at their own son at all. Intuition told her that there must be a problem with this couple.
So sending some milk powder to Gaogao was also because she didn't want to completely cut off the clues here.
Regarding Pei Huaiye's background, she wanted to try her best to find out even if there was only a little movement.
After the meal, Pei Huaiye went to work, Pei Huaimei did housework and laundry, and Su Qianyue stayed at home to take care of the babies.
"Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Grandpa is here to see you!"
The weather was warm, and Su Qianyue placed the two milk-babies in a cradle to play. A very thick quilt was laid inside, so it wasn't cold.
The two little cubs were gnawing on each other's hands, and when they heard the voice, they grinned and smiled.
Yuanyuan directly stretched out his little arms, wanting to be held.
"Dad is here, have you eaten?"
Su Mingqiang picked up Yuanyuan, feeling very affectionate. "I've eaten. What are you worrying about?"
Su Qianyue sighed and told him about asking Chen Lianzhen about Pei Huaiye's background. Su Mingqiang put Yuanyuan back in the cradle.
His expression was a bit serious. "Qingyue, Dad did one thing wrong."
Su Qianyue was startled. "What's wrong, Dad?"
"I learned from Song Popo at the time that Chen Lianzhen and her husband went to Beijing to see a doctor when they were young. They couldn't have children at the time, and when they came back, they brought Huaiye, saying he was born in a Beijing hospital."
"I thought there were no clues to this matter, and you two were busy, so I wrote a letter to tell Qiu Zhiyang about it. Sigh, I didn't expect Old Qiu to pass away."
Su Mingqiang's eyes turned red.
Su Qianyue quickly comforted him. "Dad, Master Qiu's passing has nothing to do with this; don't let your imagination run wild."
When Pei Huaiye returned home at night, Su Qianyue told him about it.
"I went to ask Song Popo again; at that time, Chen Lianzhen and her husband were looking for Doctor Sun."
Pei Huaiye nodded, his expression serious. "I'll inquire about it on my side."
A few days later, Pei Huaiye received news.
"Beijing says that Doctor Sun in Beijing is over sixty and retired early because of poor health. He has a grandson, Sun Guangyuan, who was originally a surgeon, but he was fired for some reason."
"Then let's go find Sun Guangyuan and ask; maybe he knows something!"
"I don't feel at ease leaving you to go to Beijing. I'll have my people investigate Sun Guangyuan, and we'll talk when there's progress."
Su Qianyue could see Pei Huaiye's resistance to this matter, so she didn't say anything more.
However, Yan Liang from Beijing came to Shuangshui Village again in the twelfth lunar month, and he even brought the County Magistrate with him.
Pei Huaiye accompanied Su Qianyue to receive them.
The leaders introduced each other, and only then did they know that Pei Huaiye was actually a Regimental Commander; no wonder he was full of righteousness and high-spirited.
Yan Liang talked about the main business. "I want to open a Qingyue Processing Factory in Beijing. I will handle the factory construction investment, and Comrade Su Qianyue will be the Deputy Factory Director."
Wouldn't that mean going to Beijing?
Su Qianyue didn't speak, but Pei Huaiye asked.
"We definitely have to go, because we need to do guidance work, and what we lack is mainly technology."
Su Qianyue thought again that building a new factory in Beijing instead of Xichuan might not be good if the local leaders knew.
Yan Liang seemed to see her concerns. "I have already greeted your provincial leaders about this matter. Bringing County Magistrate Jiang over today is specifically to let you rest assured."
The Yan family's power could fully achieve this level.
Su Qianyue stopped thinking about these complex relationship networks. "The children are still too young now. I'll send our capable staff from the factory to Beijing to provide guidance first, and I'll go after the New Year, how about that?"
Yan Liang laughed heartily. "The factory hasn't been built yet; I just came to ask for your opinion. If you agree, I'll start preparing when I go back."
Not only Team Leader Xiang, but even County Magistrate Jiang was secretly surprised when Yan Liang said this.
Su Qianyue had a huge backer!
Thinking of how his wife had treated Su Qianqian well and stuffed people into her factory, County Magistrate Jiang shivered.
When he left, he specifically found Su Qianyue to apologize. Su Qianyue smiled it off and didn't say anything.
But the news that the Qingyue Processing Factory was going to open in Beijing blew a strong wind in the village. By the time the New Year passed, the whole county knew about it.
Especially the villagers, knowing that a batch of key personnel was to be sent to Beijing to work, they worked even harder.
Those who couldn't go to Beijing also had ideas; once the key personnel left, many positions would definitely open up.
Wouldn't that mean they would need to recruit people?
Therefore, besides the people in the village, many people from the Qingshan Team and Pingshu Team came to volunteer to help the Qingyue Processing Factory for free, competing to be apprentices, saying they were willing to do anything.
Team Leader Xiang and Su Qianyue discussed it and put the recruitment on the agenda in advance.
This time they were going to recruit thirty people, and there would be exams and interviews. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
