12: A mother as elegant as a gardenia

The next task is to walk around the new workshop, inspect the hygiene everywhere, make sure it's clean and tidy, take a video, and upload it. After completing the operation, 500 points were obtained.

The next task is to produce 300 engines every day. This task cannot be completed today, so I'll give up.

The last task is to get 99.5% customer satisfaction. This task cannot be completed overnight, so I'll give up.

After Liu Xiaolin finished the achievable system tasks, he clicked on the points flash sale and saw that he already had 2500 points.

That's great. As long as I do tasks every day, I can quickly accumulate enough points to update new technologies.

Liu Xiaolin was overjoyed. He clicked the cross in the upper right corner of the transparent interface to close the Strongest Manufacturing System.

After finishing all this, Liu Xiaolin also planned to get off work and go home.

He was too busy to rest during the exhibition these two days. Today, he has arranged the tasks for the next stage, so he can relax a bit.

He walked to the parking lot, where only his off-road vehicle was left.

He jumped into the car nimbly, started the engine, and drove towards the factory gate.

Zhang Shifu, the doorman, saw General Manager Liu's car from a distance and hurried out to open the gate.

Liu Xiaolin said "Thank you" and sped away.

Zhang Shifu looked at the car driving away, his eyes narrowed into a smile, and he muttered to himself, "This Xiao Liu is quite capable. He's truly a son worthy of his father!"

Liu Xiaolin didn't hear this compliment; he was eager to get home.

Mom should have already made dinner at home, right? There must be his favorite braised pork trotters.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Mom's braised pork trotters were too delicious; just thinking about them made him drool.

Unfortunately, his sister doesn't like braised pork trotters. She likes bitter melon the most. He really doesn't know what's so good about bitter melon!

Liu Xiaolin shook his head. Thinking of the taste of bitter melon, he couldn't help but shiver.

The car quickly arrived in front of a courtyard at the junction of the city and suburbs. He honked the horn, and soon a woman around fifty years old ran out to open the courtyard gate.

"Son, you're back!" the woman shouted happily.

"Yes, Mom, I'm back," Liu Xiaolin replied as he drove the car into the courtyard.

The courtyard was not big. There was a shed built on the left side, specially used for parking vehicles.

The right side was divided into two sections. One section was planted with some Shanghai bok choy and green onions, and the other section was planted with a large gardenia bush. It was the flowering season now, and this gardenia bush had nearly a hundred gardenia flowers and buds. It looked elegant and pleasant, and smelled fragrant.

Liu Xiaolin's Mom, Hao Xiuhua, stood beside the gardenia bush, wearing an off-white silk shirt and light green capri pants, watching Liu Xiaolin get out of the car with a smile on her face.

Liu Xiaolin looked at the gardenia flowers and his Mom, and was a little dazed for a moment, feeling that his Mom was like a gardenia fairy.

"Mom, our gardenia flowers are blooming so well!" He didn't praise his Mom, but instead praised the gardenia flowers that his Mom loved the most.

Because he knew that praising the gardenia flowers would make her happier than praising her.

This gardenia bush was planted when his sister was one month old, and it has been seventeen years this year. It can be said that it grew up with his sister.

"Where's Xiao Man? Hasn't she finished school yet?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"She's already home and is doing her homework in the room. She's in her second year of high school and knows how to study now," Hao Xiuhua said with a smile.

"The little girl is good. It's not too late for her to figure things out now," Liu Xiaolin said.

Just as they were talking, a voice came out: "Big Brother, are you talking bad about me?"

Immediately, a tall and thin girl walked out, with a long ponytail. Her sports-style school uniform couldn't hide her good figure.

"We're praising your ambition. How could we dare to say anything bad about you!" Liu Xiaolin reached out and rubbed his sister's head.

"Don't touch my hair, you'll mess it up," Liu Xiaoman pulled her Big Brother's hand down and said with wide eyes.

"It's okay, your hair looks good even when it's messy," Liu Xiaolin deliberately rubbed it a few more times and said.

"Stop messing around, hurry up and eat. The food will get cold soon," Hao Xiuhua said with a smile.

The family of three walked into the dining room. The food was already on the table: a plate of braised pork trotters, a plate of stir-fried bitter melon, and a plate of Kung Pao chicken. They were colorful, fragrant, and delicious, with both meat and vegetables.

"Hurry up and eat, I'm starving," Liu Xiaolin picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"How was the exhibition these two days?" Hao Xiuhua asked.

"It was very good, a lot of harvest. Tomorrow, we will start training on the manufacturing and installation technology of the new products. Once the raw materials arrive, we can start working," Liu Xiaolin said vaguely while gnawing on a pork trotter.

"That's good, that's good," Hao Xiuhua nodded repeatedly.

"Big Brother, you're really amazing," Liu Xiaoman chewed on the bitter melon and also praised her Big Brother.

"Of course, who do you think I am!" Liu Xiaolin couldn't help but brag. If you say he's fat, he'll dare to pant.

"Oh, please, I won't praise you anymore in the future, I'm afraid you'll get arrogant!" Liu Xiaoman said with a pout.

The family finished dinner happily. Hao Xiuhua went to clean up the dishes, and Liu Xiaoman continued to study.

Liu Xiaolin returned to his room and began to plan for tomorrow's work.
