Chapter 289 Spicy Hotpot

"Have you already paid it?" After Ding Qin left, Wang Jiao asked Lin Xia curiously in a low voice.

Seeing that she was also speaking in a low voice, Lin Xia also lowered her voice, "I took some time to write it at noon."

"You can do it!" Although Wang Jiao had no hope in her heart, she still encouraged Lin Xia.

Lin Xia smiled when she heard her encouragement, "Yeah!"

After working hard, Ding Qin finally finished writing when Zhu Airong was about to hand in his manuscript. The two of them went in together to hand it in to Director Pei.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Director Pei looked at the two articles in front of her and then she remembered that she forgot to tell the two people that they didn't need to write.

I wanted to refuse directly, but then I thought about the seniority of these two people after all, so I took the articles in front of me and read them one by one.

"Okay, I've checked it out. You guys go and do your work first." Director Pei felt a little disappointed after reading it and waved at them.

Upon hearing this, Ding Qin recalled that the director spent the longest time reading her article. Does this mean that she wrote it well this time?

"Director, don't you want to make any revisions?" Zhu Airong felt uneasy when she saw the director let them go without saying anything. In the past, he would always point out some problems, so why didn't he do that this time?

Director Pei shook his head and said, "Not this time." Then he lowered his head and continued to work on the documents.

After they left the office, Ding Qin felt relaxed all over, but Zhu Airong was still thinking about Director Pei's expression and felt nervous.

When getting off work that day, everyone was in a different mood. Lin Xia felt like she was back to the time when she first started working. Today, she inexplicably wanted to eat Malatang, which is the choice of many people in the workplace after get off work. After all, hot pot is too grand and not as intimate and convenient as Malatang.

After taking the children home, Lin Xia's mind was already full of thoughts about what dishes to put in the spicy hot pot tonight.

Director Pei from the office had not left yet. She wanted to send the article written by Lin Xia to the newspaper and radio station as soon as possible so that the public could see it as soon as possible.

Lin Xia was starting to cook the soup base for the spicy hot pot, but unfortunately there was no milk. Adding some milk to the spicy soup base would not only turn the soup into a milky white color, but also make the soup taste more fragrant, and it would be delicious even if you drink it directly.

I haven't seen it before. Lin Xia will go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to see if there is any fresh milk to be reserved. There is some in Beijing, but I don't know if there is any on the island.

The Women's Federation got off work much earlier than Lu Yuxiu, so it didn't delay Lin Xia from going home to cook.

When Lu Yuxiu came back, the spicy hotpot was just ready. He could smell an overbearing aroma as soon as he entered the door. The taste of the spicy hotpot was comparable to that of the hotpot, and both were so fragrant that the aroma could be smelled ten miles away.

The family of five sat together. Lu Yuxiu used the light yellow enamel basin, Lin Xia had a smaller enamel basin in front of him, and An An was arranged in order. Only the two little ones had bowls of the same size.

The two little ones rarely get to eat meals with such rich flavors. Usually, Lin Xia feeds them very light meals, seasoning them with just a little bit of salt. Now, seeing a bowl of food with such a fragrant smell in front of them, the two of them could no longer wait.

What I cooked for them was to take the fish out of the spicy soup and put it into plain water. The taste had become much lighter, but for the two of them, it was already an unbeatable delicacy.

Seeing that the two were eating with relish, An An couldn't help but take a piece of shrimp paste from Le Le's bowl. She was immediately disappointed when she put it in her mouth. It was not as delicious as the one in her bowl. But why did her younger brother and sister still eat it so happily?

If Lin Xia knew, she would tell her. This is equivalent to having only tasted the combination of food and salty taste before. Now the taste has been upgraded to become a complex taste. How can she resist it?

In the evening, the couple hugged each other and shared the little things that happened during the day, mainly Lin Xia's babble.

The most talked about thing in Lu Yuxiu's camp is training, which is a topic that cannot be discussed, and there is even less that can be discussed.

Lin Xia would tell him what happened to the children today, what surprising words they said, and what she did.

Lu Yuxiu was a good listener. He listened carefully to the trivial things that Lin Xia said and would also chat with her.

The next morning, Lin Xia took her children to work as usual.

It was just that everyone seemed to have arrived very early today. Lin Xia couldn't help but ask Wang Jiao, "Is today a special day?"

"Today is the day for finalizing the manuscript." Wang Jiao explained to Lin Xia that the manuscript was handed in yesterday, and today Director Pei will announce who will be selected, and then it will have to be sent to the newspaper.

Lin Xia nodded when she heard this, without having any thoughts in her mind.

Ding Qin felt something strange when she saw that Lin Xia was not nervous or excited at all and seemed very calm.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Director Pei finally arrived.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she remembered that today was the day to announce the final draft. She looked around and took in everyone's expressions before she said, "The draft has been finalized."

Ding Qin looked at Director Pei nervously, her eyes fixed on her mouth, expecting her name to be spoken.

Zhu Airong was so nervous that he clasped his hands, feeling that he had no chance, but he couldn't help but think, what if?

Only Lin Xia already knew the result and smiled faintly.
