Chapter 103 Chapter 103 When they went to find Li Jia,...

When they went to find Li Jia, she was still busy in the store. She was very happy to see them, but her face was also embarrassed.

Especially when he saw Zhao Qingqing in front of him, his face became very unnatural, and he greeted her politely: "Sister Qingqing, you are here too."

She said she was still carrying two bowls of rice, and couldn't stop to talk to everyone at the moment, so she could only ask everyone to wait for a moment and said she would be there soon.

Zhao Haiyan watched from the side, and after the person left, she said in surprise: "It seems like he has improved a lot!" It is true that people are different after seeing the world, and they don't seem so annoying anymore.

Zhao Qingqing also thought so after seeing it.

They were waiting outside, right outside the door, not blocking anyone's way. Li Jia came out after delivering the meal and saw them standing outside, chatting and laughing. She hesitated and walked over. Perhaps it had been so long since they'd seen each other, their hands were clenched tightly, a bit awkward.

Xu Jingjing noticed someone approaching and waved at her. "Li Jia, come here. I need to ask you something! Do you have time later? We're planning to buy tickets home today."

Li Jia exclaimed and asked in confusion, "Are you going to buy a ticket today?" She almost forgot about going home, let alone buying a ticket, and no one reminded her before she left.

"Yeah! We have to buy tickets in advance. Can you come with us later? If—"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Li Jia nodding frantically, "Of course you can go. Well, our boss lady is very nice, just tell her, and come back early." She was very happy that everyone could take her with them, and she didn't care whether the other person finished the sentence or not.

"That's fine. We'll wait for you outside. Go tell them and remember to bring your ID card."

After hearing this, Li Jia nodded heavily, then turned around and quickly ran back to the store.

The ticket hall is always the most conspicuous place in the train station. As long as you take a train to the train station, you can see it at a glance. However, after entering, you can see that there are only four or five ticket windows open in the relatively spacious ticket hall for ticket sales.

There are so few windows, but there are so many people queuing.

They had a hard time squeezing in because the train station was packed with people. Even though most factories in Guangcheng hadn't closed for the holidays yet, and migrant workers hadn't started heading home yet, the train station was already overcrowded. I couldn't imagine what it would be like when they actually returned home for the Lunar New Year.

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of embarrassment. But despite this, they couldn't not buy tickets, and they couldn't not go home.

"How can we squeeze in like this!" Zhao Haiyan looked at the crowded scene in front of her in embarrassment. Could they still buy tickets?

Two of the male comrades stepped forward at this time. Zhao Xiangdong pulled Li Gan and said that they should squeeze in first to take a look and explore the way, and the girls should wait outside and not force their way in.

They discussed it and decided to let the two boys go in first. There were so many people at the train station, and it looked difficult to queue up.

They are girls, and they have money for buying tickets and ID cards on them. If they are stolen, they won’t know it.

Zhao Qingqing said, "Then you go in and take a look first. Come out and tell us what's going on." She pointed to a place with fewer people over there and said, "We'll wait for you there."

The two boys nodded and squeezed in.

Zhao Qingqing and the other girls walked over to the place pointed out before to wait for people.

Finally, when everyone was getting impatient, the two of them emerged, sweating profusely. Zhao Xiangdong and Li Gan ran up to the others, took a breath, and said, "Tickets are really hard to buy, but luckily we came early. If we had come later, there probably wouldn't be enough."

Zhao Haiyan didn't understand and pointed at Zhao Xiangdong and said, "Zhao Xiangdong, please explain clearly. I don't understand what you said."

Zhao Xiangdong didn't want to spoil her, so he didn't say anything to her. He looked at Zhao Qingqing and said, "Sister Qingqing, if we want to buy it, let's go and queue up now. Even if it's a bit crowded, there's nothing we can do."

Zhao Qingqing looked at everyone and asked, "Shall we go line up over there?"

The line was incredibly difficult to line up; by the time I turned a corner, I had no idea where it was. It was so tightly packed, practically skin-to-skin, that it was incredibly uncomfortable for women. Luckily, there were some guys among them who helped keep everyone apart.

They lined up like this for about an hour, and everyone stood on tiptoe from time to time to look at the ticket window in front. They were anxious and confused. It had been so long, but why did it feel like there were no fewer people? Why didn't the line move forward?

Zhao Haiyan looked at Zhao Xiangdong unhappily, "It's all your fault. I told us to line up separately. Someone will get in line faster. Look, everyone else has moved on, but it's still the same here." She and Zhao Xiangdong were relatives and knew each other very well. She was particularly rude when she spoke to him. Anyway, it was like this in the past.

Zhao Xiangdong responded by saying, "Why didn't you go there before? Now you regret it. I said the ticket sellers here were quick, but you didn't say anything then, did you?"

Zhao Qingqing, listening to the two people bickering in the back, had lost interest in talking. She was also upset. Anyone who was there would be in a bad mood. There were so many people, and they had been standing for so long, and it was still uncertain whether they would be able to buy a ticket in the end.

Looking at the others, they all looked listless. The girl at the back was leaning directly on her companion's shoulder, with dull eyes and a particularly sad look.

In comparison, the two above that can make noise and dance are both very good.

Xu Jingjing asked worriedly from behind Zhao Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, it's already this late. What if we can't buy a ticket today?"

Zhao Qingqing sighed. She didn't know either.

After meeting Chen Ting that day, Xia Li still had a lot of emotions, especially later she would always think about the things that happened between the two of them. In the evening, she sat on the sofa with the TV on in the living room, but she didn't really watch it.

Xia Pingzhi nudged her from the side, "What's wrong? Are you still half asleep? Is the TV not interesting?"

Xia Li sighed and talked about Chen Ting.

"Is that the colleague you mentioned before who you don't get along with?" Xia Pingzhi stopped watching TV. She was still quite curious. When Xia Li worked at the previous place, she often complained to her about this person when she came back.

"He went to Hong Kong! Oh, everyone's fate is different!" No one knows what their future will be like or what kind of road lies ahead.

After saying that, she leaned forward, broke off a banana from the table, peeled it and put it into her mouth. The bored look on her face while eating made Xia Pingzhi look at her sideways.

"Is it really that serious? What's the matter? Do you also want to go to Hong Kong? Your current life can't satisfy you?" Xia Pingzhi joked with a smile, looking at the child.

Charlie chewed a banana with a pleading expression, "No, aunt! I just suddenly felt very complicated. I didn't expect that we had such an incompatible relationship, and in the end I still felt reluctant to let go. Is there something wrong with my brain? I'm actually quite happy to be with others." After saying that, she knocked her head twice.

This must be crazy! This is absolutely crazy!

Xia Pingzhi smiled at her and said, "Okay, stop being silly. After dinner, go inside to check on the kids. I'll go see if the clothes in the washing machine are done."

There was a small meeting being held in the factory that day. There were not many people, so they simply sat in the small room next to the factory director's office, which was enough to accommodate everyone.

Xia Li was also in there, and there were some documents she needed to distribute to everyone.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the office, as if someone had come. The people in the office didn't hear anything, but the noise soon seemed to reach the factory director's office.

Xia Li felt something was wrong and looked at Wen Ying. Wen Ying nodded and asked her to go out and see what was going on.

She opened the door and went out, then quickly closed it again, worried about disturbing the people inside. As soon as she went out, she saw a small group of people standing and shoving at the door of their factory office.

Xia Li originally thought that it was just another employee, but now when they have problems, instead of going to their leaders first, they all learn to go directly to the factory manager to make trouble. What is going on?

Colleagues Wang Yiling and Zhao Weixin seemed to be persuading someone over there. Xia Li glanced over and saw that even Liu Fen, the older sister in the office, was standing at the door watching the fun with a cup of hot water.

It wasn't until she got closer and took a look that she realized something was wrong. She recognized the two people inside. They were her mother-in-law and husband, whom she saw at her husband's house when she went to help Director Wen get something last time!

There was also a middle-aged woman next to her. She had never seen her before, but it seemed that they came here together. She didn't look like a good-tempered person.

He's mother, who was arguing with the two young people, saw another person coming over, pulled her eldest sister's arm and gestured to her to look.

Mother He turned around and looked over. Seeing that she had seen this girl before, she called out, "Hey! Miss, come here for a moment."

She waved to Charlie.

Xia Li walked over and asked in a gentle voice, "Auntie, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" She looked at the other two people next to her. Their factory director's husband had a look of shame and anger on his face, while the middle-aged woman next to him, who looked tough, looked at Xia Li with sidelong eyes.

Xia Li smiled and nodded at them, while He's mother next to her pulled Xia Li's arm without any hesitation and asked her to judge the case.

"Sister, remember the last time we met? You came to my house to get something, and I asked you. Tell your colleagues if I'm your factory director's mother-in-law, and if the man next to me is hers. How can a flood wash away the Dragon King Temple, and family members not recognize each other? Isn't that right?"

Xia Li nodded and introduced herself to Zhao Weixin and Wang Yiling. As she spoke, she felt a bit uneasy. She had no idea what these people were doing at the factory. They were so abrupt today, coming to see their factory director without even saying hello. Perhaps they were planning something?

Wang Yiling and Zhao Weixin, who were standing nearby, were also embarrassed after hearing the introduction and quickly apologized. When no one was watching, they exchanged a quiet glance and said, "This is the factory director's mother-in-law, and...her husband!"

But why are they such people?

"Where's Wenying? Why can't I see her? Call her over, we have something to talk to her about." The woman next to her, whom Xia Li didn't know, spoke directly.

Xia Li ignored her and said to He's mother, "Auntie, our factory director is busy right now. Please go to her office and wait for a while. She will be here soon."

Xia Li was wary, thinking these people had never been here before, so their presence must be up to no good. So she decided to have them wait in Wen Ying's office, and then call them back after the meeting was over.

He's mother was a retired junior cadre from the power distribution bureau. Although her previous position was low, she considered herself a respectable person. She had come here today to ask Wenying for an explanation. Her daughter-in-law from the He family didn't come home every day and was even clamoring for a divorce. What was going on? Even if she was the head of a factory, it wouldn't work!

"Are you hiding from our Ayuan and refusing to come out on purpose?" The woman who followed was fanning the flames, as if she wanted the world to be in chaos.

Xia Li glanced at her, her eyes cold. "Hello, I don't know your name, but please keep your voice down. This is an office area, so please don't make loud noises."

"I am..." The woman who spoke just now was about to introduce herself, but Charlie asked her to leave directly.

She pushed open Wen Ying's office door and asked He's mother to sit down. She nodded to He Biyuan, then went out to pour some water and met the woman who was about to come in.

"Please come in." Her expression was indifferent, but her attitude was quite polite, leaving no room for fault. She took the initiative to make way and let the other person enter first.

The other person looked at her with an angry look on his face, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing and walked into the office.
