The next morning

While eating breakfast, Xu Hongxia suddenly asked, "Mom, did you smell a sauerkraut fish flavor last night?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Qinqin paused in her eating. Last night, she hadn't thought there was anything wrong with getting up in the middle of the night to cook.

But now that Xu Hongxia asked her this, Huang Qinqin felt a little embarrassed, wondering if she had been too greedy.

Just as she was about to speak, blushing, she heard Zhang Yumei say, "Where did that smell of pickled fish come from in the middle of the night? I think you're craving pickled fish, did you dream about it last night?"

"Alright, hurry up and eat breakfast. I'll cook sauerkraut fish for lunch, it'll be ready in a bit."

"Oh~"

After Zhang Yumei said that, Xu Hongxia became less confident. Perhaps she really was dreaming?

......

When Huang Qinqin arrived at the department store, she habitually headed towards the clothing section. When she got there, she saw that two of her colleagues were already there, and then she remembered that she didn't need to come over anymore.

However, the office was on the third floor, so it wouldn't be a problem. When Huang Qinqin arrived at the office, she felt lost.

Manager Gao only told her that she no longer needed to work at the counter, but didn't tell her where she would be working. There are three offices in total; where is her workstation?

When the finance manager came to work, he saw Huang Qinqin standing outside the office and asked in confusion, "Are you Jianmin's sister? What brings you here?"

"Yes, Manager Gao asked me to come to work in this office yesterday, but I forgot which workstation he asked me to work at, so I'm waiting for him at the door."

When Huang Qinqin saw the head of the finance department arrive, she casually made up an excuse.

As she spoke, Huang Jianmin, Zhu Min, and other colleagues from the office also arrived.

Huang Jianmin walked over, swaying his head as he ate a steamed bun, and greeted them with a smile: "Good morning, Section Chief. Good morning, Qinqin. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"You've eaten, Jianmin, why are you eating so late?"

"I've already eaten, but the cafeteria had meat buns this morning, which were especially delicious. I complimented the cafeteria lady a couple of times, and she gave me extra."

After saying that, Huang Jianmin realized that starting today, Huang Qinqin would be working in the office just like them.

Huang Jianmin said to Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, come with me. You can just choose a workstation to sit at in this office."

Huang Jianmin guessed that she probably didn't know which office to go to, but he knew without guessing that it was the biggest one.

Because one of the other rooms was shared by Manager Gao and several other leaders, and the other belonged to their finance team, that left only one option.

Once inside, there were four or five empty seats. Huang Jianmin asked his colleagues who had already arrived, "Excuse me, are these empty seats available for us to sit in?"

"Yes, you can sit anywhere. If there are places to put your things, they're already occupied. If there aren't any, you can use whichever spot you like."

"Okay, thank you."

After asking his question, Huang Jianmin gestured for Huang Qinqin to choose a seat: "You choose a seat, and I'll go back to the finance office to get you a receipt and then bring over the office supplies you can collect."

"Okay, thank you, Jianmin-ge~ If Grandma saw you like this now, she would be very surprised and gratified."

Huang Qinqin felt that Huang Jianmin was much more mature now than when he was in the village. Before, she felt that he was still a child, but now he was very organized in his work.

Huang Jianmin smiled smugly, put his hands on his hips and said with a grin, "Of course, I'm not the same person I used to be!"

"I am a mature and stable man now!"

Huang Qinqin asked slyly, "So, may I ask this mature and steady man, isn't the next step to get married?"

"Will you introduce me to someone? I'd be happy if someone is suitable."

Huang Qinqin thought Huang Jianmin would be like his two older brothers, wanting to postpone marriage. But he just agreed so readily?

Speaking of which, Huang Qinqin felt like she hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. The last time she saw her parents was when Kang Kang turned one month old.

No, she has tomorrow off, and it's the weekend, so she has to go back home. She doesn't know if her parents miss her.

......

Do you miss Huang Qinqin? Of course you do!

Before, Huang Qinqin would keep Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi happy at home, and the house was always filled with laughter. But ever since Huang Qinqin got married...

Because Chen Zhaodi found her home dull and boring, she often went out to chat with the other women in the residential compound. And that's when they suffered the consequences.

Originally, Chen Zhaodi had stopped pressuring her to get married, but because the aunties in the family compound kept nagging her about it, Chen Zhaodi inexplicably started pressuring her to get married again after a while.

"You're all so old, what do you want to do if you don't get married?!"

Chen Zhaodi just didn't understand, was getting married really that painful?

Huang Jianjun forced a smile and said, "Isn't it about respecting elders? I'll get married after my older brother gets married..."

Huang Jianguo glared at him fiercely, then said helplessly, "Mom, didn't I already tell you..."

"I don't care what you said before! I'm going to ask you a question now, and you'd better answer me honestly!"

Chen Zhaodi didn't want to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him directly. After taking a deep breath, she asked, "Tell me honestly, do you...do you not like girls?"

Cough cough!

puff!

Clang!

Huang Jianguo was so frightened by Chen Zhaodi's words that he coughed incessantly. Good heavens, who was gossiping in front of her?!
