While Chen Zhaodi was talking, Wang Yingxue ate a few more bites of rice, and her mouth was still full of rice.
Upon hearing Chen Zhaodi's question, she hurriedly tried to swallow the food in her mouth first.
Huang Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and poured her a glass of water: "Don't rush, chew slowly, be careful not to choke."
Then he said to Chen Zhaodi, "Mom, you should eat first. You can talk more after you finish eating."
Chen Zhaodi also realized that she seemed to have disturbed Wang Yingxue's meal.
He smiled apologetically at Wang Yingxue and said, "Yingxue, you should eat first. We'll talk after you finish eating."
After finishing their meal, Chen Zhaodi immediately pulled Wang Yingxue aside to chat.
"So Yingxue, does Aunt Wang know that the pickled vegetables at the department store are from our village?"
"Aunt Wang doesn't know. When Aunt Wang asked me if I wanted to buy it, I didn't know if I could tell her about it."
"She didn't say anything, and then Qinqin said she bought it for us, and Aunt Wang didn't ask any more questions."
Moreover, Wang Yingxue felt that Huang Qinqin didn't seem to want Aunt Wang to know about this.
Chen Zhaodi nodded, then she understood.
It's best not to brag about this for now; she had been thinking of helping the village promote their pickled vegetables.
However, according to Wang Yingxue, so many people buy pickled vegetables that they don't need to advertise at all.
Huang Jianguo and Wang Yingxue returned to their room to prepare for an afternoon nap.
Huang Jianguo thought that after Wang Yingxue married into the family, she almost never left the house except to buy groceries.
I was planning to take her to see Huang Qinqin this afternoon, but I still needed to ask her if she wanted to go first.
Wang Yingxue had already gone to bed and was waiting for Huang Jianguo to come over.
Seeing that Wang Yingxue's cheeks had become plump from his care, Huang Jianguo felt a sense of pride.
He couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her cheek. After pinching it, he felt that it still wasn't fleshy enough. Compared to Huang Qinqin's face, it felt a little bit less plump.
Wang Yingxue did not react at all after Huang Jianguo pinched her cheek.
She discovered that although Huang Jianguo seemed quite composed, he always liked to touch her inappropriately.
For example, pinching her cheeks or patting her head. Wang Yingxue has gotten used to it over the past few days.
After Huang Jianguo had finished kneading her, he asked, "I'm going to my little sister's place this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"
Wang Yingxue refused without hesitation: "No."
When Huang Jianguo asked the question, he never thought that Wang Yingxue would refuse, so when he heard Wang Yingxue's answer, his mouth moved faster than his brain.
He said happily, "I knew you would want to go too."
Only after he finished speaking did he belatedly realize that Wang Yingxue had just rejected him?!
Huang Jianguo looked down at Wang Yingxue, who stared at him innocently with wide eyes.
Huang Jianguo thought he might have misheard, so he asked again, "You just said you wanted to come with me, right?"
Wang Yingxue cruelly shook her head at Huang Jianguo's expectant gaze: "No, I said I don't want to go."
"Why? Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Huang Jianguo didn't understand why Wang Yingxue didn't want to go with him. He thought for a moment, was it possible that Wang Yingxue thought Huang Qinqin had married someone from far away?
"My younger sister is married nearby. It's not far to walk, and it's even faster to ride a bike."
“I know Qinqin is married and lives nearby, but I still have to cook, so I won’t go over.”
Wang Yingxue isn't stupid. Huang Qinqin works at a department store. How far can she go if she marries someone?
She mainly needed to cook, and if she accompanied Huang Jianguo to find Huang Qinqin, it would delay her cooking.
You know, she earns five yuan a month from hard work.
Although Chen Zhaodi said it was pocket money for her, Wang Yingxue knew in her heart that it was actually her hard-earned money for buying groceries and cooking.
Since that's the case, she certainly can't slack off. Chen Zhaodi treats her so well, she can't be lazy.
Huang Jianguo had thought she didn't want to go for some reason, but now he realized it was this.
"It's alright, it won't affect anything. My sister and her colleagues get off work later than the steel factory workers. We can go over after we finish eating."
"So, do you want to come with me?"
Wang Yingxue really didn't know any of this; she thought all the workers got off work at the same time.
She was thinking to herself: No wonder everyone wants to be a factory worker, because they get off work earlier than the workers.
So only the steel mill closes early. But since it won't interfere with cooking, she definitely said, "Yes! I'll go with you."
...
After dinner, Huang Jianguo said he would take Wang Yingxue to find Huang Qinqin.
When Chen Zhaodi heard that they were going over, she suddenly thought of the Xu family's house and asked abruptly, "Boss, do you know when the factory issues awards?"
Huang Jianguo remembered that Director Mo had said that there would be a factory-wide announcement to commend them before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"It should be in the next day or two. Director Mo said it would be before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mom, why are you asking about this?"
"I'm just anxious. The houses have already been allocated to us, but we don't dare to move in."
If the factory hadn't allocated Huang Jianguo that two-story bungalow, Chen Zhaodi and the others wouldn't have had so many concerns.
Huang Jianguo wasn't in a hurry, since they weren't without a place to live. However, he was thinking about moving to the new house.
Each of them could have a truly private room, and Huang Jianguo suddenly felt that he was also in a hurry.
The rooms in my house are small and poorly soundproof, since I partitioned them myself.
He didn't think much of it before he got married.
But now that I'm married, I feel very inconvenient. Sometimes at night, I don't dare to make any noise at all.
With that thought in mind, Huang Jianguo said again, "I'll go back to the factory tomorrow and ask Director Mo when the commendation will be issued."
"If it's within the next couple of days, then we can move there before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan both nodded, agreeing that this was the best approach.
After receiving the answer, Chen Zhaodi urged them to set off quickly: "You should hurry up and leave, or it will get dark soon."
It was getting late, so Huang Jianguo and Wang Yingxue set off together.
As soon as they stepped outside, Wang Yingxue asked curiously, "Does our family own any other houses?"
Huang Jianguo nodded: "Yes, it was a reward I received from the factory before. But since there hasn't been an official commendation yet, I haven't moved."
Just as Huang Jianguo was about to say something, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and they were forced to stop.
Before Huang Jianguo could go over to see what was going on, he saw Chen Ermei being pushed out.
