Section Chief Zhang didn't know why Xu Junhui asked him that, but he still answered honestly, "I'm not in a hurry, why?"
Because Section Chief Zhang usually leaves work quite late, he deliberately didn't take a lunch break today so he could leave on time.
So there's really no rush.
"I'm not in a hurry..." Xu Junhui wiped his sweat, which was a little awkward.
Suddenly, an idea struck him!
Xu Junhui whispered to Huang Qinqin, "Honey, wait here for me for a moment. Section Chief Zhang and I are going to the kitchen."
When Master Cai saw Xu Junhui and Section Chief Zhang come in together, he asked curiously, "Section Chief Zhang, Ah Hui, what brings you two together?"
"I happened to run into him outside. Section Chief Zhang said it was his sister-in-law's birthday today and he wanted to get some food from the cafeteria to take home."
"I was just checking to see if you've used up your ingredients since it's still early."
Master Cai understood and said, "No, there are still almost half left to cook."
"Section Chief Zhang, take a look at these ingredients. Why don't you order something? I'll cook two dishes just for you and your wife, as a token of my appreciation. Hahaha."
Section Chief Zhang hesitated and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
The main problem is that Section Chief Zhang doesn't know if there are enough ingredients, considering that there are a lot of workers in the food factory.
Master Cai calmly replied, "What's wrong with that? It's not like we're not charging you. We charge you the normal amount of money and receipts."
"It's just that I'll cook a separate dish for you, so it tastes a little better than the communal meals. It's just something I do easily."
Section Chief Zhang was relieved and then carefully studied the ingredients to see what dishes to order.
Xu Junhui exchanged a glance with Master Cai and said loudly, "Then, Section Chief Zhang, Master Cai, I'll head back now. My wife is waiting for me outside."
Actually, it's not impossible not to take money from Section Chief Zhang, since the canteen staff would take away the leftover food or ingredients before leaving get off work every day.
However, considering Section Chief Zhang's intolerant nature, Xu Junhui still dared not take the risk.
If delivering this meal leads Section Chief Zhang to believe that the canteen is now purchasing too much and thus reducing its budget, then he will become the one to blame.
So having Chef Cai cook a special meal for him would be enough. And Chef Cai will definitely give him a larger portion, which is sufficient.
This would be a good opportunity to distract Section Chief Zhang; otherwise, if they stayed any longer, he and Huang Qinqin would be stuck awkwardly on the ground...
......
Lin Xiaoya and Li Xiang's mother were picking vegetables together at the entrance of the compound when they saw Xu Junhui, as always, riding his bicycle with Huang Qinqin on the back, heading home.
When Li Xiang's mother saw this, she said with disdain, "Pah! The Xu family's daughter-in-law next door has to be driven around every day. It's a real misfortune for the family to marry her."
"Yes, and Wei Guo's wife isn't particularly gentle either. I don't know why she dotes on her daughter-in-law so much."
"It doesn't look particularly special."
"That's right, I've already inquired. Her daughter-in-law didn't have a job before she married into the family."
"Maybe she got this job through her family."
"Really? I should have introduced my niece to her son. I've really missed out!"
"Look at what you're saying, as if just because you introduced them, their family will be interested in your niece, haha."
Hearing others say that Huang Qinqin was lucky, Lin Xiaoya also thought so.
We're all women, and we even live just a wall apart, but other women's husbands and mothers-in-law are all easy to get along with.
And what about her? Ha!
Lin Xiaoya's only consolation right now is that she's pregnant. She just hopes her belly will cooperate.
It's not that Lin Xiaoya is sexist, but if it were a girl, her and her daughter's future would only be more difficult.
Lin Xiaoya watched Huang Qinqin's figure with envy, secretly thinking: If only she had a job too...
......
"Mom, we're back!"
As soon as Huang Qinqin returned, she went straight to the kitchen to find Zhang Yumei.
Upon hearing Huang Qinqin's voice, Zhang Yumei asked, "You're back. Qinqin, what time is it?"
Huang Qinqin glanced at her watch and replied, "Yes, I'm back. It's 5:20 now."
"Mom, are we having pickled fish tonight?"
Upon hearing Huang Qinqin's question, Zhang Yumei replied somewhat awkwardly, "Um, there was a slight mishap with this sauerkraut fish..."
"Mom went to the market this afternoon, but there were no fish for sale. Since your dad and the others were going back to Chenjia Village, I asked them to bring back two fish from the village."
"Everything was arranged, but they haven't returned yet. However, they should be able to buy the fish. It's probably delayed by something."
Upon hearing that there was no fish for sale, Huang Qinqin kindly said, "It's okay, it's okay, we can have other dishes tonight."
"We'll have sauerkraut fish next time we buy fish."
Zhang Yumei nodded, feeling fortunate that Huang Qinqin hadn't reached the stage of wanting to eat whatever she wanted during her pregnancy, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
"Qinqin, are you hungry? Your dad and your second aunt haven't come back yet. They might be quite late when they get back."
"If you're hungry, eat something to tide you over. We don't know when they'll be back."
Huang Qinqin was about to say that she wasn't hungry yet, but her stomach immediately told Zhang Yumei that she was hungry.
cluck cluck~
Huang Qinqin clutched her stomach and said, "I think I'm a little hungry, hehe~"
