Chapter 270: Prison Visit
New Year's Day is not a traditional festival, but Xu's mother still prepared a very sumptuous dinner. Read М
Before dinner, the old couple made video calls to the eldest son's family and their daughter respectively.
There is nothing much to say about Luyang. Xu Bin and his wife recently resigned. They worked hard for a month, but they didn't get as much as the few kilograms of salted fish sent by Xu's mother.
Anyway, there is no shortage of food at home, so why bother!
Xu Ting's side is still the same. There is no holiday on New Year's Day. It doesn't matter whether Ma Jie has a holiday or not. Ma Lingling's school also has no holiday because of her intense study.
Starting this year, the college entrance examination is the same as the high school entrance examination. There is only one chance. If you fail to pass the exam, you can only go to a vocational and technical school. At present, all the senior high school graduating classes are trying their best.
After dinner, Xu Dong took the initiative to talk to his father about the bakery. He thought about it again and again these days, and still felt that the bakery was a bit sensitive, so it was better to make plans early.
"The bakery is getting bigger and bigger now. I think it's better to separate it and register a new company."
Dad Xu was confused: "The bakery is fine, why do you have to do this?"
"Dad, the bakery handles more and more grain every day. If it continues like this, something will happen sooner or later." Xu Dong explained.
He really didn't expect that a small bakery could be messed up by his father. If he had known this, he might as well not suggest it at the beginning!
"What do you mean? Please explain it more clearly." Dad Xu put down his chopsticks directly.
"Dad, I don't need to say more about how tight the grain is now! Mom went to the grain store today. There is a lot less grain this month. Of course, there are more vegetables than usual, but overall, it is still less than last month."
"I know the grain is tight, you continue."
Xu Dong raised his glass and clinked it with his father, then continued: "Dad, grain is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. We should stay away from the industry. Even if we want to intervene, it's best..."
"What's best?" Dad Xu urged.
"It's better to let the city buy some shares, even if it means giving up the controlling stake. The water is very deep here, and I'm afraid you can't grasp it. It's better to find a 'big backer'." Xu Dong said earnestly.
Dad Xu touched the back of his grandson's head: "So you want to separate the bakery and let the city buy shares to avoid risks?"
"That's right, the bakery won't make much money anyway, don't get into trouble without eating the mutton, it's not worth it." Xu Dong nodded.
"Who told you that you can't make much money?"
"No... the bakery makes a lot of money?" Xu Dong said in surprise.
Dad Xu nodded:
"Isn't there a saying that a little bit of accumulation makes a lot?
The bakery can now have a surplus of several hundred kilograms of grain a day, and I was planning to use this grain to subsidize employees!
You are so good that you just let me smash the pot.
But what you said makes sense. So much grain is indeed a bit eye-catching, and the scale of the bakery is still expanding. This matter still needs to be resolved after all."
"Dad, I hope you have figured it out."
Dad Xu sighed: "I will go to Ye Hui to discuss this matter tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I will contact Mayor He directly after the new company is registered."
"Dad, you have a good relationship. You can even meet Mayor He." Xu Dong was surprised.
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. We just chatted a few words during the meeting before. I only have a mobile phone number here. It's not certain whether he is willing to meet me!" Dad Xu said reservedly.
"That's also amazing." Xu Dong envied. The most awesome contact on his mobile phone is still Mr. Liao, which is far inferior to Mayor He.
"Dongzi, I want to put the new company under your mother's name, what do you think?" Xu's father suddenly asked.
Since we are going to be independent, we might as well do it thoroughly.
Xu's mother interrupted and said, "Why put it under my name? I don't know how to start a company."
"Don't worry about it, it's just a name." Xu's father explained.
Xu Dong nodded: "It's best to make the bakery a public welfare nature. It's quite appropriate to put it under your mother's name. Well, this is a good idea."
"Then it's settled." Xu's father made the final decision.
Xu's mother was immediately delighted. She was a face-loving person. With this identity, she would be more confident to go out and chat with people in the future.
At night, Yang Lina tossed and turned.
"Wife, what are you dawdling about? Go to sleep!" Xu Dong rubbed his eyes and said.
"Alas!" Yang Lina sighed deliberately, "Dad is really capable. Mom has worked hard all her life. I didn't expect that she could become a CEO when she was old."
Xu Dong understood instantly: "What CEO? It's just a figurehead. She doesn't care about anything."
"I also want to be a figurehead."
"I am a person in the system. We are a couple. It's not appropriate for you to be a figurehead." Xu Dong patiently advised.
"Okay, so if you become the section chief, I won't get any benefits, right?"
"Aren't you the wife of the section chief? This is much more impressive than our mother's figurehead general manager." Xu Dong coaxed.
"Humph, you are just fooling me!"
Yang Lina rolled her eyes. To put it bluntly, she was jealous and wanted to show off at her mother's side.
"Then what do you think should be done? Or should I just quit?" Xu Dong said deliberately.
Yang Lina quickly covered her husband's mouth with her hand: "No, you can become a section chief in a few years, it's too bad to quit now."
"This won't work, that won't work, I have no choice." Xu Dong hugged his wife into his arms.
"Forget it, I'll wait to take over my mother's job. You must retire early then." Yang Lina said unhappily.
"Okay, I'll retire immediately if you say so."
...
After New Year's Day, Li Yanyi took a day off and prepared to take the children to visit her husband in prison.
First, let the children see their father;
Second, she also wanted her husband to see their current lives so that he wouldn't worry. No matter how good the letter was, it couldn't compare to seeing it with his own eyes.
Before leaving, she also bought ten baguettes to bring to her husband to improve his meals. There was nothing good to eat in prison, let alone now.
The child's father must have suffered a lot.
The location of the prison was relatively remote, and the four people changed buses three times before they finally reached their destination.
After completing all the procedures, the four were arranged to enter the waiting room. Today was the monthly visiting day, and there were many people visiting the prison.
As soon as the four entered the door, an elderly auntie next to them took the initiative to move a seat for them, and Li Yanyi hurriedly ran over with the three children.
"Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome, what's your number?" the auntie asked with a smile.
"No. 256, what's your name, auntie?"
The auntie waved her hand: "Just call me Auntie Liu, No. 256, then you have to wait, and you will probably see it after noon."
"Why so long?" Li Yanyi said in surprise.
