Chapter 381 Smoked Rabbit

The next day

Gu Yihan opened her eyes and woke up to hear Lu Huailin calling Hao Hao downstairs for dinner.

She gritted her teeth in anger. If it weren't for her cheat code, her old bones would have been torn apart by that unrestrained wolf, Lu Huailin.

Lu Huailin looked up at Gu Yihan, who was coming downstairs, and said with a smile, "Wife, you're awake!"

"Are you hungry? I specially went to the cafeteria to buy you fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu pudding."

Gu Yihan glared at him, annoyed.

Hao Hao rolled his eyes at Lu Huailin, then took a big bite of the wild vegetable and mixed grain bun.

In a childish voice, she said, "Daddy, you're being unfair!"

Lu Huailin followed behind his wife, diligently handing her towels and face cream.

Hearing Hao Hao's words, he raised an eyebrow.

"Favoritism? No way!"

"It's only natural that Dad is good to Mom!"

"When you grow up and get married, you must treat your wife as well as your father."

To avoid future problems in the marriage, and to prevent him from constantly going home and upsetting his wife.

Hao Hao wrinkled his little nose and snorted, "I don't want a wife."

After saying that, he jumped off the chair, grabbed his little schoolbag, and ran to Zhao Hu's house.

Lu Huailin smiled but didn't reply, continuing to follow behind his wife.

I coaxed her gently and softly until she calmed down.

A happy smile appeared on his face. He tidied himself up and went to the army base, humming a song.

Service Station

Gu Yihan was keeping a close eye on everything and listening to her every move, while Director Chen of the service station had been acting like he'd taken some kind of poison these past few days.

If you catch someone dawdling, you start a barrage of criticism.

Zhang Yue finished her work and leaned against the fabric to catch her breath.

A rough, angry roar rang out: "Zhang Yue!"

Zhang Yue was startled by Director Chen's shout and instinctively straightened up.

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Director Chen, you need to rest your voice. Shouting all day long can easily cause you to lose your voice."

Gu Yihan: "..."

Qin He: "..."

Director Chen is someone who can easily understand the meaning behind Zhang Yue's words.

His face was ashen, and he stared intently at Zhang Yue, gritting his teeth as he said, "Fine, very well."

"Zhang Yue, you're not proactive at work, you're always late and leave early, and that's already bad enough."

"They still dare to talk back to their superiors, showing no respect for elders, and displaying a complete lack of organization and discipline."

Director Chen's chest heaved with anger. He paused for a moment and exhaled a breath of stale air.

With a gloomy face, he glanced sideways at Zhang Yue.

“I’ve looked at this person’s monthly attendance record. He was late or left early five times, and failed to hand over his get off work to the accountant three times.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue's smile froze on her face, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

This is deliberately picking on her; which salesperson at the service station doesn't often arrive late or leave early?

"Which of the many sales clerks at the service station hasn't been late or left early?"

"Director Chen, even if you want to force me to leave, you have to come up with a decent excuse."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for reporting you to the political work department of the army for abusing my power for personal revenge!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glanced at Zhang Yue in surprise.

Then he and Qin He exchanged a glance.

I don't understand why Zhang Yue, who is usually easy to talk to, is arguing with Director Chen today.

Director Chen is not easily intimidated and is not afraid of Zhang Yue's threats at all.

He glanced at her indifferently and said sternly, "I'll give you one more chance."

"If I find you late or leaving early again, violating accounting regulations, or failing to reconcile and settle the day's inventory before leaving get off work, you're fired."

After saying that, he snorted coldly, flicked his arm, and turned to leave.

Zhang Yue watched Director Chen's departing figure, her eyes reddening with anger.

She looked up at Gu Yihan next door and said aggrievedly, "He's taking revenge on me."

"He was deliberately trying to force me to leave by using a mean tone, so that he could make room for his son who was sent to the countryside."

Gu Yihan was completely confused. She didn't know the details of what Zhang Yue meant by settling personal scores and the whole story behind Director Chen's son.

It's difficult to express one's opinion.

Qin He glared at Zhang Yue with annoyance: "You know he's been in a bad mood these past few days, why do you have to provoke him?"

She didn't understand Zhang Yue either; how could a mere sales clerk dare to directly contradict her superior?

Does she really think this is a secure job and that no one will dare to fire her?

Gu Yihan glanced at Zhang Yue and saw her suddenly burst into tears, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Quickly pretend to check the inventory on the shelves.

Mind your own business and you'll be struck by lightning.

Although Qin He always had a cold face, she was actually the most warm-hearted person, and she saw Zhang Yue's expression.

Unable to resist, she comforted him, "Okay, from now on, come a little earlier every day, and finish handing over with the accountant as soon as you get off work before you leave."

"Director Chen, if he can't find any wrongdoing on your part, he has no right to fire you."

Zhang Yue forced a smile but didn't say anything.

Gu Yihan glanced at Zhang Yue out of the corner of her eye; her thoughts differed from Qin He's.

Director Chen's temper tantrums these past few days weren't due to a bad mood, but rather intentional and targeted.

Perhaps his initial target was Zhang Yue; his purpose was so clear.

She didn't believe it was just a mistake at work.

After get off work

When Gu Yihan returned home, she saw Li Yajing standing at the door waiting for her again, carrying two sacks.

"Sister Ya Jing," he said helplessly, "what have you found this time?"

Li Yajing beamed and said with a smile, "This time it's wild rabbit, all smoked. I thought it looked good, so I brought it over for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glanced at her in surprise. Last time it was a wild boar, and this time it's a wild rabbit.

Is life in the production brigade in Beijing really that good?

There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all; it even smelled like smoke.

The two entered the living room one after the other, and Li Yajing sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.

He reached out and took the enamel mug from Gu Yihan's hand, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "Xiaohan, see if you like it."

Gu Yihan nodded, opened the sack and saw that both sacks were full of wild rabbits, and frowned slightly.

"Why are there so many?"

Li Yajing waved her hand generously and said, "Not many, only 20 in total."

"Didn't you say you didn't know what to send to Grandma Gu back home for the New Year?"

"Look, just pick two wild rabbits for her, these things can't be released."

Gu Yihan stared at the wild rabbit in the sack, her eyes deep and unsettling, the more she thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

Suddenly, he asked, "How much do you sell this wild rabbit for on the black market?"

Five yuan.

Without thinking, Li Yajing blurted out the answer, and by the time she realized what she had said, it was too late.

When Gu Yihan heard Li Yajing's smooth pricing, she knew that Li Yajing had frequented the black market.

Being able to frequently obtain these scarce resources is no small feat for a minor leader.

Thinking of this, Gu Yihan quickly walked to Li Yajing's side.

Holding her hand tightly, he said with concern, "Sister Ya Jing, you have plenty of food and clothing, why would you go and work in the black market?"
