"It's so cold, it's dangerous for you to come all this way," Han Xiangdong frowned. "Besides, the factory has already provided us with cotton-padded coats and leather-padded shoes."

"How can that be the same?" Le Yao laughed. "There's a kind of cold that only Mom feels. If I don't come, Mom and Dad will come, and wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Han Xiangdong laughed: "How's Shuo Shuo? Have you missed me?"

"Now she's made friends in kindergarten, and she's a very pretty little girl. Don't even mention you, we're all behind her in line."

"Haha, this brat..." Han Xiangdong laughed.

"Xiang Dong, who is this pretty girl?" the young man who had first started the commotion couldn't help but ask.

“My sister,” Han Xiangdong replied with a smile. “My own sister.”

Everyone got excited when they heard this and came over to greet the younger sister.

Le Yao greeted everyone in a very open and generous manner.

"Alright, my sister is married now, so stop thinking about it."

The crowd immediately erupted in exaggerated wails.

Le Yao smiled, knowing that everyone meant no harm and she wasn't angry. Instead, she shared some of the snacks she brought with everyone: "My brother is a newbie, so please take good care of him."

"Xiang Dong is amazing! He learns everything so quickly, and he can already work independently." Someone popped a piece of cake into their mouth, "Mmm, it's so delicious..."

“That’s right, that’s right, don’t worry, little sister…” The others nodded in agreement. “Starting this month, he’ll be receiving a full-time employee’s salary.”

Le Yao smiled and nodded, then looked at Han Xiangdong: "Brother, I'm already here, aren't you going to take me to see your dorm?"

The dormitory conditions at the auto repair shop were really not good, because they were all temporary buildings. They were quite large, but they all had earthen heating, meaning you had to light your own stove.

In the middle of the room was a large tin stove.

The bed was also a 1.2-meter-long iron-framed bed.

Le Yao glanced at the door and left. The room, which housed seven or eight grown men, was far from clean, and because the doors and windows were never opened in winter, it also had a strong smell of feet.

Han Xiangdong put his things on the bedside table and hurriedly came out: "It's noon. Let me take you to try some of the small restaurants around here. There's a sauerkraut fish restaurant over there; the taste is really good."

"Okay." Le Yao nodded.

Han Xiangdong went over and asked his boss for leave. Then he took Le Yao out to call Shen Yi. After walking for five minutes, they saw a row of snack shops, among which the sauerkraut fish restaurant had a rather large storefront.

Because of the heavy snow today, fewer people went out, and since they arrived quite early, there weren't many people in the fish restaurant.

The boss clearly recognized Han Xiangdong: "Little Han, you're here. Didn't Xiao Yin and Xiao Gao come?"

Le Yao's eyes flickered.

"I didn't come with them. I brought my sister here today to try your cooking." Han Xiangdong led his people to sit down by the window.

The owner handed over the menu: "Our signature dish is sauerkraut fish, which will definitely not disappoint the girls. A large portion should be enough for the three of you."

“Alan, take a look…” Han Xiangdong gestured.

"Let's do as the boss says." Le Yao didn't take the menu.

"Okay then." Han Xiangdong handed the menu back to the owner. "Large portion of boiled fish, but with black carp."

Grass carp is cheap, but has many bones; snakehead fish is expensive, but has few bones.
