After lunch, knowing that Huang Jiancai and the others were moving into the dormitory that afternoon, Xu Junhui borrowed a handcart from someone else. That way, they wouldn't have to carry it so hard.

Xu Junhui's work hours are relatively flexible, so he doesn't mind arriving a little late. Therefore, he plans to go with Huang Jiancai and the others. This way, Huang Qinqin will feel more at ease.

After the meal, Zhang Yumei told Huang Jiancai and the others to go to their previous guest rooms to rest, and that she would wake them up when it was time.

They left so early today and walked such a long way; they must be very tired.

Before falling asleep, Xu Junhui said to Huang Qinqin, "I'll go with my older cousin and the others later, and then accompany them to their dorm. You don't need to worry about them."

"I'll stay with them until they finish dealing with things before I go to work."

Huang Qinqin was a little worried about her older cousin and the others, but she was even more afraid that it would affect Xu Junhui.

"Will this interfere with your work? If it's inconvenient, you can help your cousin and his family carry their luggage to the department store and then go to work."

Xu Junhui patted Huang Qinqin's head and said softly, "No, I'm very free at work this afternoon, and I'll be idle when I get back."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with your work, thank you for your hard work~"

Huang Qinqin gently kissed Xu Junhui, then said with a smile, "This is your reward~"

Xu Junhui's eyes darkened, and he pulled Huang Qinqin closer to him, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't provoke me. You know we can't do it now, aren't you afraid I'll get sick from holding it in?"

Huang Qinqin was held tightly by Xu Junhui and clearly felt the change in him, and instantly became obedient.

She instantly became obedient and said, "The doctor said it's not allowed for the first three months. Please bear with it. I'm sleepy and I want to go to sleep."

After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes, pretending that he had fallen asleep.

Seeing Huang Qinqin pretending to be asleep, what could Xu Junhui do? He pinched her cheek hard, then closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

......

Xu Junhui originally thought that not many people would need accommodation, since those who came to the department store to take the exam were either like Huang Jiancai, who had received advance notice, or they already lived nearby.

Looking at the current situation, it seems there are at least sixty or seventy people waiting for accommodation assignments.

In fact, Xu Junhui had a misunderstanding about the housing conditions of ordinary families in the city.

Most people in the city live in small rooms, several people in one room. Huang Qinqin's family is no exception.

Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun were said to each have their own room, but in reality, it was just a room partitioned off.

This is because they are not married yet. If they were married, many adults and children would live in the same small room.

And it's not like you'll get a dormitory just because you find a job. For example, the steel factory didn't provide dormitories for their recent recruitment drives.

Otherwise, Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun would have moved to the dormitory long ago. Although the dormitory is supposed to be a four-person room, it is still much larger than their small room.

So now the department store offers dormitories, and most people have signed up. Those who don't need accommodation are probably just a few whose families don't have housing problems.

People like Huang Qinqin and Fang Chuchu did not sign up.

A large group of people walked towards the food factory dormitory. The others were envious when they saw that Xu Junhui and his group had even borrowed a handcart.

Seeing them pushing their carts so easily, while I was exhausted from carrying my luggage.

However, because they didn't know them, no one dared to approach them to hitch a ride and drop off their luggage.

Although Xu Junhui had worked at the food factory for several years, he had never actually visited the factory's dormitory.

The food factory's dormitory is not located inside the factory; it is built separately on an open space behind the factory.

It is said that they were afraid that if the dormitory was built inside the factory, there would be too many people coming and going, making it easy for someone to sneak into the factory and do something bad.

Xu Junhui looked around the dormitory and thought it was pretty good. Each room had four beds, and next to each bed was a wardrobe.

The room is quite large, and it even has a separate balcony where you can dry clothes. The only downsides are the lack of a bathroom and kitchen.

I asked a colleague who already lived there, and it turns out there's a shared toilet on each floor.

If you need to cook your own meals, you'll have to take them out and cook them in the hallway. As for showering, you'll need to go to the shower room on the first floor. There will be hot water available, but it's only available for a limited time; it will stop running too late.

Overall, the environment is acceptable.

Because it was a four-person room, the three Huang brothers and the village chief's grandson Huang Guiming ended up sharing a room.

Li Chen, the grandson of the brigade secretary, and Zhang Yueli, Huang Jianmin's classmate, shared a room with the others.

Seeing that Huang Jiancai and the others had settled in, Xu Junhui greeted them and then pushed his cart back home. He needed to return the cart first before heading back to the food factory.

......

Looking at the huge pile of clothes in front of her, Chen Ermei doubted for the first time whether her choice was right or wrong.

After returning from the state-run restaurant yesterday, Xu Jingui told Xu Daya that she should wash all the clothes at home from now on.

Before, it was always her and Xu Daya taking turns, but now she's pregnant with Xu Jingui's child. How could he treat her like this?!

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. After thinking about it, Chen Ermei wondered, if she didn't marry Xu Jingui, who else could she marry?

Although I still have a lot to do, at least I eat better than at home. I have meat almost every other day and eggs every day.

Moreover, Xu Jingui only hit her once; she was never beaten otherwise. Everything seemed better than her previous life, but she felt a little resentful, since Huang Qinqin had clearly lived a very comfortable life in her previous existence.

Resigned to her fate, Chen Zhaodi began washing clothes, comforting herself that things would get better, and that she would be better off after giving birth to her son.

After her son is born, her older and younger children won't be as important anymore. Even if they don't like her, it won't matter. After all, she has her own son.

Chen Ermei was always certain about the gender of the child in her womb. Because in her previous life, she had given birth to two sons.

It will definitely be the same for her whole life. As long as she also gives birth to a son for Xu Jingui, she will be the greatest contributor to this family. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Xu Daya originally intended to go out for a stroll, but as soon as she stepped out of her room, she saw Chen Ermei washing clothes while laughing. And it was that eerie kind of laugh.

Xu Daya thought Chen Ermei must have lost her mind; how could she still laugh after washing so many clothes?

Before I even reached the door, I heard Grandma Xu's voice from outside: "Open the door! Who's home? Come out and open the door!"
