Chapter 90: Replacing Guard Qi: Is he a Buddha, or is he unable to lift a knife...

At that time, Yan Xue had already finished her confinement and was placing a large basin in the house to bathe her child.

When babies are breastfeeding, their bodies have a strong milk smell and they need to wear diapers, which need to be washed every few days.

Of course, this is because Yan Xue’s family has a boiler that burns a fire wall to keep warm. Otherwise, who would dare to bathe the child all day long in such a cold day?

But precisely because it was warm, she didn't feel uncomfortable. Once her little one got into the water, he splashed around, waving his little hands and feet.

"Do you think you're swimming?" Yan Xue patted his little butt, feeling that she couldn't hold it up with one hand.

The child was not very big when he was born. Yan Xue had difficulty giving birth because of her small frame, so she had been controlling his weight. But he was able to eat and sleep well, and he had grown a lot in the one month since he was born.

Qi Fang came back early today. He had just washed the baby's diapers and hung them on the fire wall opposite the kang, covering a large area.

Seeing that Yan Xue couldn't do it alone and the second old lady had just been called out, he simply came over to lend a hand.

But his little one obviously didn't give his father much face. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the little guy started to flutter even harder, even raising his little head.

Qi Fang just glanced at his son and said nothing.

His son also looked at him. He couldn't speak yet, but his little neck was stiff.

I don’t know if they are really angry or if they just have different temperaments, but this father and son are often like this.

He can wipe the baby's butt and change its diapers, but if the baby really starts crying, Qi Fang will not be able to comfort him no matter what.

The little guy was crying at the top of his lungs one second, but in the next second he was in Yan Xue's arms. He immediately calmed down and looked at Yan Xue with his eyes open.

But the second old lady was not at home, and the water would get cold if the bath was not finished, so Qi Fang continued to help his son take a bath.

Then the little guy's disadvantage of not being able to speak was revealed. Although he stared at his father with resistance written all over his body, he just couldn't tell his father that he didn't want to.

So he used his trump card, and when his father was helping his mother wash and preparing to carry him out, he slapped his father all over...

The waterline was so obvious that it was hard for Yan Xue to ignore it, not to mention that the room was hot and Qi Fang had just taken off his sweater.

The man's shirt was wet in a large area. He looked down at himself, then at his son, and stopped talking.

This is a clean person. Even though it is hard and tiring to go up the mountain to cut wood, he still maintains good hygiene habits.

As for his son, after peeing, he looked at him with his big black eyes, his little neck still straight.

For a moment, the father and son seemed to be in a standoff. Then after a while, the younger one suddenly opened his voice and shouted, "Wow——"

The second old lady happened to come back at this time. When she heard it, she hurried in and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying while taking a shower?"

Yan Xue didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so she quickly took it and patted him, "He peed all over his dad, and he started crying first."

The old lady also saw the puddle on Qi Fang's body and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Who did you learn this from?"

"It's okay." Qi Fang finally said this and went to the closet to find a clean shirt. The old lady and Yan Xue also quickly wiped the child clean.

Just as I put on my little clothes and put them back on the kang, the postman knocked on the door and said there was a letter from Qi Fang.

Qi Fang was changing clothes in the room at the time, so Yan Xue went out to answer the letter. After taking it, she glanced at the envelope and said, "Zhou Li wrote back to you."

Qi Fang said "hmm". Seeing her put the letter on the table, he was about to wait a while before reading it, but then he paused and said, "You read it first."

Yan Xue was obviously stunned. The man had already rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and picked up the one he had just changed out of. "I'll go wash the clothes."

How long does it take to wash a shirt? He can read the letter after he finishes washing it, or he can read it first and then wash it...

Yan Xue raised her eyes to look at the man and found that he was also looking at her, his eyes were frank, trusting and unreserved.

She lowered her eyes and opened the letter. In her two lifetimes combined, it was the first time she had read someone else's letter before anyone else had opened it.

This made her feel a little strange. After unfolding the letter, she didn't even look at the contents immediately. She calmed down a little before reading it carefully.

Not long after, Qi Fang came back from washing his shirt, wrung out the water, and hung it on the opposite fire wall. "What did you say?"

The tone was very casual and natural, so Yan Xue replied casually and naturally, "He said he was a little busy recently, so he had time to reply and listen to other people's family affairs."

Obviously, this other person's family affair was the key point. Qi Fang didn't ask any more questions, put down his sleeves, walked to the table and picked up the letter.

Zhou Li deserves to be friends with Qi Fang. Qi Fang asked the question vaguely, and he replied vaguely as well. He just said that he heard from one of his friends that the elders in his family found their son who had been away from home a few years ago.

The child was born on the revolutionary road. Because the elders had to move and could not take him with them, he was left in the local area to be raised by a fellow villager and took the fellow villager's surname.

This situation was quite common back then. Zhou Li then began to lament the difficulty of the revolution back then. We can have the life we ​​have today, and we should thank the leaders for their correct leadership and dedication.

Qi Fang quickly scanned the remaining content, raised his eyes to look at Yan Xue, and happened to meet Yan Xue's gaze. The two of them lip-synced silently.

"It's not from that side." Qi Fang said in a low voice, and to be cautious he burned the letter.

When he came back, the little guy was already asleep. Yan Xue was still sitting on the edge of the kang. She immediately raised her eyes when she saw him come in, obviously waiting for him.

Qi Fang walked over and hugged the man in his arms, "It seems we didn't find the wrong person."

In fact, Qu Mingli, a pragmatist, is not very similar to those people's style.

Since the matter was of great importance, Yan Xue lowered her voice and asked the man, "Have you really decided?"

"Yeah." Qi Fangdao said without hesitation, "Except for the teacher's things that can't be taken out, just use as much force as you can."

But now it is nearing the end of the year, the bureau has a lot of things to do, and the logging team is still on the mountain. Some of the things he wants to do are not the right time.

Qi Fang lowered his head and stroked Yan Xue's cheek. "If you continue with your pilot project, will it be beyond Chengshui?"

"How can it be so fast?" Yan Xue found his words amusing. "Just the seven forest farms in Chengshui will take a while to digest."

Growing wood ear mushrooms is not as simple as just planting them. You also have to deal with various unexpected situations, such as the growth of fungi and the continuous rainy days like this year.

After Yan Xue sold the mushroom strains, she also had to guide several other forest farms in planting and harvesting. Only after the other forest farms had gained experience could she consider the next step.

Thinking about how the man had wasted more than ten years in the original book, it was not easy for him to take this step. She patted him and said, "Take your time. There's no rush."

They are still young and have plenty of time to lay a solid foundation and move forward step by step until the day when everything is over.

After she finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. Yan Xue raised her head and found that the man's peach blossom eyes were drooping, quietly staring at the hand that she was patting him.

She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she was sitting and the man was standing. She raised her hand and patted the man's chest...

She had no intention of being a hooligan. Yan Xue was about to pull her hand back, but the man grabbed it. His gaze followed the hand and fell on her.

Yan Xue lost some weight after the confinement period, but compared to before pregnancy, she was still a lot fatter, and even her sweater was tight on her.

From Qi Fang's angle, he could still see her fair skin at her neckline, and he couldn't help but rub the back of her hand with his fingertips.

The slightly rough touch carries a relatively high body temperature, and wherever it slides over, it brings a familiar tingling sensation.

Yan Xue then remembered that the two of them had not been close for a long time. They had even slept separately for a long time because of a quarrel and a business trip.

But the man finally let go of her hand and looked away. "Are you going to Wangshan Forest Farm tomorrow to help them choose a site?"

"It's to guide them in choosing a site." Yan Xue's wording was still relatively cautious, and she didn't have the habit of running into other people's territory to make decisions.

But the secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm obviously felt that she could run the Jinchuan Forest Farm pilot project well and was definitely more experienced than those of them who knew nothing. Instead of making a random selection, it would be better to let her do it.

Qi Fang didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but his eyes never fell on her again. "Didn't Xiaojinchuan Forest Farm look for you?"

Yan Xue was speechless. "How many years are you going to remember this? Even if I want to go to Xiaojinchuan, I'm still in the mountains, okay?"

"That's not necessarily true." Qi Fang snorted, "What if you go on a blind date again without our son?"

Yan Xue was too lazy to argue with him about the blind date. She simply curled her eyes and said, "That depends on whether you will act on your own initiative and abandon me next time."

The man was silent for a moment, and then after a while, he asked, "Wife, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Unexpectedly, after the selection at Wangshan Forest Farm was completed, Xiaojinchuan Forest Farm actually came over. Yan Xue couldn't help but smile at that time.

Secretary Lang, who came to talk to her about this matter, didn't know the inside story. "Is there a problem?"

"No." Yan Xue shook her head. "It's just that the two forest farms are so close, and I've never been there before."

It’s surprising that this man really came right. I just don’t know if his mouth is blessed and whether I will really go on a blind date again.

Yan Xue finished her visit to Xiaojinchuan in just a few days. The logging team was still on the mountain. Of course, she didn't meet Qi Fang, let alone have a blind date.

There was only one forest farm left that came to Yan Xue, and she chose the others herself. Firstly, the distance was not close enough, and secondly, the relationship was not close enough.

After seeing the last two forest farms report the quantity of mushroom strains they wanted, they were both quite cautious and only requested 1,000 bottles for trial planting.

Yan Xue and Guo Changan calculated that the upper limit of the breeding room was not exceeded, so they started preparing materials in December and the mother seeds were cultivated in January.

After the Chinese New Year, the cultivation of original species was put on the agenda. Xu Wanchang and Gao Daidi returned to work, and people who wanted to apply for long-term work began to come to them again.

Yan Xue discussed with everyone and decided to post the recruitment notice again and also asked the announcer in the field to help them broadcast it.

If you want to apply for long-term work, you can apply for short-term work first. After working in the pilot program for one year and meeting a certain number of attendance days, you can transfer to long-term work in the second year.

Transferring to a long-term position does not guarantee long-term employment. If your performance is not good, you may be demoted back to a short-term position or even not be hired again.

This is to prevent some people from coming here just to share the money and not working hard. By setting a limit, those who are not capable will be eliminated in the first year.

As soon as the news got out, countless people were disappointed and once again regretted not applying for long-term jobs last year.

There are also those who are down-to-earth and know that the pilot work is indeed capable of being done and can last for a long time, so they are willing to sign up for a short-term job for one year in order to transfer to a long-term job.

However, in this case, only two people can transfer to long-term this year - Xu Wanchang and Gao Daidi.

When the news was announced, both of them were extremely envious and happy, especially Xu Wanchang.

Lang Yue'e asked Secretary Lang on his behalf that his children could come to the forest farm to study, and he was already preparing to rent the Guo family's house.

Now that the short-term has turned into long-term, he can get more. He doesn’t know how to thank Yanxue. Xu Xiaoli, who is on winter vacation at home, comes to the pilot project every day to help.

A few days later, Xu Xiaoli sent two bundles of firewood and a large bag of walnut kernels to Yan Xue, all of which she had picked out with an awl.

Yan Xue had told her many times that she didn't need to send anything, but she still sent it next time. Even Gao Daidi's mother came to Yan Xue's house with two cans of food.

This is a rare guest. He didn't come last year when the salary was paid, or during the Chinese New Year this year, so it was Gao Daidi who came to pay her New Year's greetings herself.

However, Yan Xue hired Gao Daidi and made her a regular employee not because of her personality, but because she was willing to work hard and capable.

"Thank you so much, Technician Yan, for arranging such a good job for our Daidi and also giving her a long-term job."

The other party smiled as soon as he entered the door, and was extremely enthusiastic. He quickly placed two cans on the kang of Yan Xue's house and said, "I know your family doesn't need this. It's a little gift."

"That's also because Daidi is capable. She didn't miss a single day last year." Yan Xue didn't accept it and pushed it back.

In fact, she also refused the gifts from Xu Xiaoli, but Xu Xiaoli would always put the things down and run away, and she could not catch up with her even if she wanted to.

Gao Daidi's mother was not like that. She pushed the two cans to Yan Xue for a long time and said a lot of nice things. The more Yan Xue looked at her, the more she felt something was wrong.

Yan Xue simply stopped pushing it away and didn't waste time talking to the other party. "Auntie, do you have anything else to say?"

"Yes, there are still some things to do." Gao Daidi's mother smiled. "Didn't Daidi's brother graduate from junior high school last year? He's still at the educated youth camp and doesn't have a proper job."

The forest farm has not recruited workers in recent years. After graduating from junior high school and high school, the children of the forest farm go directly to the educated youth site and go up the mountain with their family teams to work as seasonal workers.

Yan Xue immediately guessed the other party's intention. "I asked Secretary Lang, and educated youth can also apply for temporary work here. But I have to make it clear in advance that I don't have any quota for regularization here yet."

"How many people can be officially hired as employees at the educated youth camp? It might take several years before they get a chance, and they still can't even make as much as you do."

Gao Daidi's mother had obviously made up her mind, so Yan Xue pushed the things back and said, "Then you can just ask your son to come and sign up. There's no need for this."

The other party didn't answer, his smile still ingratiating, even with a hint of hesitation. Seeing this, Yan Xue raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't want your son to work long-term directly, do you? I can't make the decision then."

She made the rules, and she must not break them. Otherwise, why would she make such a rule? Anyone who wants to do it long-term can use the backdoor.

Gao Daidi's mother also knew about this. "No, I just wanted to ask you if it's possible to let Daidi's brother take this long-term job for her."

"You want Daidi's brother to replace her?" This time Yan Xue not only raised her eyebrows, but also lowered her voice.

Gao Daidi's mother noticed something, but was clearly more concerned with her own needs. "We're all family, so it doesn't matter who does it. Daidi is the same as her brother."

"Daidi worked hard for a year to get this long-term contract. Do you want your son to replace her?" Yan Xue asked again without listening to what she said.

The other party realized something was wrong. "Isn't it just something I can do? Daidi is just a girl after all. She can get married regardless of whether she has a job or not. But her brother is different. If he doesn't have a good job, how can he find a wife in the future?"

The woman looked like she was worried sick about this family. "Besides, it's not like she's not allowed to work anymore. Can't she still work for a short period of time?"

After saying this, he even looked at Yan Xue, hoping to get her approval. "Technician Yan, you also have a son, so you should understand."

Yan Xue couldn't understand that before she was a mother of a son, she was a woman first.

And how can a woman use such a righteous tone to sacrifice and belittle another woman?

There are already too many eggs and bowls of rice porridge for the son. Does that mean that the things that the daughter gets on her own must also be given to the son?

She directly picked up the two cans and stuffed them into his arms. "Don't say anything. I can't possibly agree to this."

The woman hurried to catch the item, fearing it would fall. She was about to say something else when Yan Xue interrupted her, "Dai Di, you don't need to do this long-term job anymore."

She was stunned, and this time she was completely anxious, "Why? Why don't you let my Daidi do it? My Daidi got it herself!"

She also knew that Daidi had gotten it herself. Yan Xue didn't even want to be angry with this kind of life. It wasn't worth it. "Then you have to ask yourself."

Anyway, since Daidi has a mother like this, she probably won’t be able to get any salary herself, so it doesn’t make any difference whether she works long-term or short-term.

Yan Xue made up her mind to take away Gao Daidi's long-term employment quota, let her mother go home and regret it, and also scare others to prevent similar things from happening again.

The next day she went to the pilot and told everyone about this matter. Everyone was angry when they heard it, especially Lang Yue'e and Zhou Wenhui, who were also women.

Lang Yue'e was relatively okay, as the Lang family treated their daughter well. Zhou Wenhui could empathize with her, not to mention that she had a daughter of her own.

Zhou Wenhui even worried about Gao Daidi's situation. "If she loses her long-term job, will her mother take it out on her?"

"That depends on whether her mother wants to give up her part-time job," Yan Xue said. "I don't believe her mother would be willing to give up her annual salary of several hundred yuan."

Gao Daidi's mother was really reluctant to let her go, but when she heard Yan Xue say that if Gao Daidi made a fuss about part-time work again, she immediately behaved herself.

No matter whether it is long-term or short-term, having a job means having an income, which is better than staying at home and not getting much money after getting married.

She felt sick just thinking about how her good relationship would end up like that. Her husband even scolded her, saying that she was ignorant and a troublemaker.

But when she said she wanted to give the spot to Daidi's brother, the man didn't object and even asked her to buy something so she wouldn't go empty-handed.

When this matter got out, the Gao family became a laughing stock in the forest farm. No one had ever seen a family that could spit out benefits after feeding them.

"Other people couldn't even file a report, but she ruined herself. Isn't that terrifying?"

"That's right, if I were her, I would slap myself twice and tell her to be mean and to think only of good things!"

"There has to be a limit to partiality. I don't think that if her daughter Daidi wasn't disabled, they would let her work there."

"Daidi is so pitiful. She's in such a bad situation, and she still has such a mother. Fortunately, there is a strict technician..."

If Gao Daidi had not been disabled and able to work elsewhere, the Gao family might not have allowed her to participate in the pilot project. After all, at that time, they were not optimistic about the effectiveness of the pilot project.

I didn't expect that the long-term job that no one wanted to do at the beginning has now become a popular job that everyone is vying for, and even caused such a thing.

The person who was hurt the most in the whole incident was probably Gao Daidi. She could not hear, but she was not stupid.

And there is always good news, so she has to find ways to let her know. Yan Xue could clearly notice that she was more silent than usual.

Seeing that the person was staring at the boiler in a daze, Yan Xue touched him and handed him a piece of paper. "I'll ask your sister Wen Hui to keep the salary for you."

Gao Daidi was obviously stunned, and looked up at her with disbelief on her face.

Yan Xue took the paper and continued writing: "I'll ask her to open a separate account for you and save the extra money for you."

Now Gao Daidi finally dared to believe that Technician Yan meant that he would give her a share of the salary based on her long-term employment.

She quickly shook her head, but Yan Xue's eyes softened and she wrote on the paper: "You deserve it."

The gentle and pretty technician Yan even wrote beautifully, "When you can make your own decisions in the future, we will give it to you."

This made Gao Daidi's eyes warm. She didn't cry when she heard that her family wanted her brother to replace her as a long-term worker, but she cried now.

She lowered her head, not wanting Technician Yan to see, but Technician Yan touched her head gently.

Then there was the piece of paper that was handed to him.

"It's okay. A good girl is capable and will be able to make her own decision sooner or later."

Gao Daidi nodded, tried to smile at the other person, and mouthed, "Thank you."

Yan Xue touched her again and threw the paper directly into the boiler, destroying the body in the flames.

From then on, this matter became known to everyone, including the core people in the pilot project. However, no one expected that Qi Fang would bring it up after he came back from the small repair factory.

The man was drawing a blueprint at the table at the time and casually said, "Gao Changshun came to see me today."

Yan Xue paused for a moment before she remembered Gao Daidi's father. "What did he say to you?"

"I'm begging you to calm down and get Gao Daidi back." The man said lightly, "I don't care."

"That's right, I don't believe he doesn't know about this." Yan Xue went to look at the child.

This guy is interesting. Knowing that she can't convince him, he actually went to find Qi Fang, thinking that Qi Fang could take care of his matter?

"It's okay, the logging team will go up the mountain tomorrow." Qi Fang didn't take this matter to heart at all, nor did he think that the other party could disturb Yan Xue.

Sometimes Yan Xue found that it was also good to find a widower. He would not have those worldly concepts and would be too lazy to care about those messy things.

Even the widowed king has lost all worldly desires recently. At night, after Yan Xue fed the child, he put the child in the middle and lay down to sleep.

You know, before the child was born, Yan Xue would occasionally say hello to the secretary. Now, more than two months after the birth, she can do something, but we can no longer see her.

The man was dressed warmly and lying on the other side of the child with a serious look on his face. He looked a bit like when they first got married, except that his face showed apathy.

Yan Xue looked at him once, then looked at him again. He noticed it and even frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Yan Xue looked him up and down, "Just to see if Guard Qi has become a Buddha or if he can no longer hold a knife."
