Synopsis: Three years ago, Xia Li resolutely left. She only wanted to escape that marriage life that she could see the end of at a glance, to escape everything that trapped her. Perhaps she was a s...
Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Jiang Dong smiled and shook his head.
Charlie placed her hands on her chest, patted them a few times, and then slowly exhaled.
It was really a false alarm, she was really scared so early in the morning.
"Why are you here so early in the morning? Is something wrong?" Charlie asked unhappily.
Jiang Dong had never been like this before, and Xia Li thought something had happened to him.
Her big eyes looked at him, and although there was a look of frightened blame on her face, there was also a hint of concern.
Jiang Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away, not looking at Xia Li. He stared ahead, snorted coldly, and then said to Xia Li as they walked, "I thought something was wrong with you. I went to pick you up at your factory yesterday, but everyone was gone, the gate was locked, and you still weren't there. I thought something was wrong with you. You're not at work? Are you sick?"
Jiang Dong didn't think so. He just took a look at Xia Li's expression and there was nothing wrong. She looked very energetic.
When Xia Li heard Jiang Dong ask this, she remembered that she had been working in the new unit for a few days, but this person didn't know yet.
She snorted as well. She was so busy herself that she couldn't be the one to handle this kind of thing. She said to Jiang Dong, "You won't be able to wait for me even if you wait a few more days. I'm not working there anymore."
"What? You quit?" Jiang Dong stopped and turned to ask Xia Li. It was no wonder Jiang Dong asked that; he still remembered the last time Xia Li cried because of the female workers at the factory.
But he didn't expect Charlie to stretch out an arm behind him and push him, not letting him stop, pushing him forward.
Xia Li was not very strong and did not exert much effort. She was able to push Jiang Dong forward, but Jiang Dong also tensed his waist and let her go, step by step.
Although Jiang Dong seemed to be straining his strength and leaning his upper body slightly backward, he was actually walking very comfortably.
Her voice came from behind: "I changed my unit and don't want to continue working there. The new unit is Wanle Electric Appliance Factory in Xiguan. It's the one where Zhao Qingqing works. You know it, right? Okay, hurry up and leave. There are many acquaintances here. What if someone sees us?"
Her voice seemed to gain strength at the end.
"By the way, where are you going later? Why are you carrying a bag?" Xia Li saw that Jiang Dong was holding a bag in his right hand and asked curiously.
Jiang Dong just remembered that he was still holding the bag in his hand. He didn't say anything, just picked up the bag, took out something and handed it to Xia Li, "I don't know if you have eaten yet, I brought this, if you have eaten, then I will take care of it myself."
Xia Li's eyes lit up as she touched the hot buns and fried dough sticks in her hands.
“No, no.”
She really hasn't eaten this thing for a long time. Not to mention that there are very few places selling these things here, even if she really came across it, the taste would be wrong.
With a hint of long-lost excitement, Xia Li took out a bun from the plastic bag. "Braised pork?" she asked expectantly.
Jiang Dong looked at her greedy look, but didn't tease her. He just tapped his chin twice casually.
After getting the answer, Xia Li stuffed the bun into her mouth and took a big bite. The soft crust gave her the meat filling, which was fresh, fragrant, and slightly sweet.
Mm, delicious, it’s the taste she likes.
With another bite, I could taste a little juice in my mouth.
Xia Li is quite persistent about the things she likes. She likes buns with a good balance of skin and filling. She doesn't like the skin to be too thick or too thin, or the filling to be too much or too little.
But it was obvious that Xia Li was enjoying the braised pork buns that Jiang Dong bought. While eating, she couldn't help but ask for the address, "You're so good! Where did you buy it? It tastes good."
Jiang Dong turned his head and looked at her with disgust, "Look at the way you eat. Don't even think about it. You can't buy this. There's only one place in Guangcheng that can make this, and I'm the only one who can find it."
He said it proudly, but Xia Li obviously didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Dong's words, because she tore off half of a fried dough stick and ate it after listening to half of the sentence.
A beautiful city lady, happily enjoying a fried dough stick in her hand. Xia Li, relying on the fact that she and Jiang Dong had come out of the alley, thought they wouldn't run into anyone, so she ate even more happily.
She also shared it with Jiang Dong and touched Jiang Dong's shoulder with her hand.
Jiang Dong immediately raised his arm and looked behind him, asking doubtfully, "You didn't wipe your hands on my clothes on purpose, did you?"
After a careful look, I didn't seem to notice anything. Black clothes are also resistant to stains.
Of course, even if there is something, it is hard to see.
Xia Li was holding the fried dough stick and was furious. She really felt heartbroken. Even today's weather was not as cold as her.
"Jiang Dong, Jiang Dong, look at this! What is this, a fried dough stick! What is it for? I'm giving it to you to eat! And what is this?" Xia Li stood in front of him. Jiang Dong was so tall that Xia Li's arms were almost stretched out.
"This is the edge of the palm! What should I touch you with? I touch you with this."
Jiang Dong pursed his lips and looked at Xia Li, who was almost fuming with anger, and dared not say anything.
She stared at him fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him up.
I think he just said something before.
But he also knew that he must have been wrong, which was why he made Charlie so angry.
Jiang Dong actually thought she was quite cute, but based on his previous experience, he didn't dare to provoke her again. If he really annoyed her, he would be in big trouble.
If you ignore him later, you will regret it.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I thought you were wrong. As an apology, I'll buy you another drink of this."
It’s true that he made the braised pork buns himself. He got up early today to heat them up before putting them in a bag and bringing them over.
He quickly took the dough stick from Xia Li's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it. Then he took out the water cup from the bag, which was filled with soy milk. Although the cup didn't have a heat-insulating effect, Jiang Dong had kept it in the bag the whole time, so now he could drink it without getting cold.
Jiang Dong bought the fried dough sticks and soy milk at a breakfast shop. He had come across them by chance and had tried them once; they were quite good. He'd thought Xia Li, a picky eater, would like them, so he went back to buy them today. While other people drank soy milk at the shop, brought their own containers, or used plastic bags, Jiang Dong filled a clean cup.
Xia Li was still angry. She was angry that Jiang Dong didn't know how to appreciate her kindness and looked down on him with her eyes.
Fortunately, the cup of soy milk handed to her by Jiang Dong soothed her wounded heart again. Xia Li felt very comfortable drinking the warm and sweet soy milk in such cold weather.
Forget it, it’s not a big deal. She will just let it go and not bother with him.
Jiang Dong walked with Xia Li to the bus stop while drinking. Xia Li felt that the people waiting for the bus next to her had almost arrived. They were the same familiar strangers every day, so she thought the bus should be coming soon. She quickly drank the soy milk in the cup and handed the cup back to Jiang Dong.
"Eh? Then how do you eat?"
You finally remembered me again. Jiang Dongxin laughed in his heart, "It's okay, I can buy some on my way back later, just eat it without worry."
Xia Li smiled widely and said, "Okay, I'll take these." She waved the bag in her hand, which contained two buns and a few fried dough sticks.
She wanted to say something else, but the car arrived as soon as she said it, so she could only quickly tell Jiang Dong: "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I have to go. Go buy some food yourself. Also, don't look for me at that place."
Jiang Dong stood on the platform with one hand in his pocket, watching Xia Li and others get on the train.
I thought that the heartless man would just leave, but I didn't expect that Xia Li actually found a seat by the window and sat down. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at him, and then she was taken away by the car.
The bus started.
Jiang Dong smiled and shook his head, his expression clearly showing helplessness and willingness.
Then he left here.
As long as she is okay, it's worth it for him to come here early and wait at the door.
After arriving at the office, Xia Li put all her things on it and went to Wen Ying's office.
She cleaned and tidied Wenying's office briefly, then went to the hot water room to get a thermos of hot water.
Wenying often works for a long time. Sometimes when she feels tired, she drinks tea to refresh herself.
She had just put the thermos on the table when she heard the door being pushed open.
"Xia Li, didn't I tell you not to use it? Look at you." As she spoke, she hung her bag on the wall, then took out the things inside and put them on her desk work.
Obviously, Wenying still has to work for a while after returning home every day.
Charlie asked her if she often brought work home.
Wenying said, "Yes, it can't be changed." When I was in school, whether I finished my homework or not, I always continued studying for a while when I got home. Now that I'm working, if I don't continue working or studying at home, I always feel like something's missing.
Xia Li was stunned at the time and thought, is this the difference between a factory manager and a secretary?
When she was in school, she never even finished her homework in advance, let alone actively studying. Back then, relying on her cleverness, she always crammed at the last minute. Fortunately, she made it to high school, which was much better than her classmates.
She also secretly wondered if she could go to school like Wenying did, then she could also go to university and become a college student.
However, there is no medicine for regret in life. If everyone's "if only" and "if only" could come true, the world might have been different a long time ago.
If you don’t work hard when you are young, you have to work hard now!
Wen Ying let Xia Li get cleaned up and told her to go to the cafeteria to eat quickly. She also had to go because she had to go to work soon.
Wenying opened the bottom drawer, took out her lunch box and prepared to go out to the cafeteria.
"Oh, I've eaten," said Charlie.
However, she suddenly remembered something, so she asked Wenying to wait for a moment and would be back soon.
"Please wait for me, don't leave!"
After saying that, Xia Li quickly went out, ran to the factory office next door, came to her workstation, grabbed a bag of fried dough sticks and went over again.
There were two buns left, so she took them back for her aunt and Jiangzai to try. They tasted really good, so she couldn't bear to finish them. They wouldn't go bad in the current weather either.
Wen Ying didn't know what Xia Li was going to do, so she waited inside the house with her lunch box.
After Xia Li came over, she brought it to Wen Ying with a smile and gave it to her: "Director, these are the fried dough sticks my family bought for me. There are still some left. Try them. I think they should suit your taste."
Jiang Dong bought quite a few, and she tore them open and ate half on the way, then gave the other half to Jiang Dong. It tasted pretty good, and there was still quite a bit left, so she thought she could give it away.
It's just a gift to Buddha, don't worry about what it is.
Wenying was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't eaten in a long time. Although she felt a little embarrassed, seeing that Xia Li was giving it to her sincerely, she didn't refuse.
"Okay, thank you. You know my in-laws are from the local area and don't know how to cook these things, and I basically never eat out. To be honest, I really want to eat some, but is this too much? Have you eaten before?"
Charlie nodded, indicating that she had already eaten.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Wen Ying simply didn't go to the cafeteria and just poured a cup of boiled water to eat.
