Chapter 151 It’s not shameful to have a hobby
Many people were involved in this matter, not only Chief Steward Ma, but also the leader of the kitchen squad, Chen Peng.
It's a very small matter in itself. The office canteen just wants to recruit a chef. It doesn't matter who they recruit.
So Chen Peng verbally promised this opportunity to Wang Guangjian.
But who would have thought that Chen Tiezhu would suddenly appear!
Chen Tiezhu not only has good qualifications and experience, but also is a top-notch cook. Moreover, he has a second-class merit to pave the way...
He is the only one who can do this cooperation.
How could Wang Guangjian be willing to accept this?
He felt that his cousin's husband was too dirty. He was robbing and clearly trying to steal his girl!
Outsiders are outsiders and they have no good intentions.
Wang Guangjian was feeling frustrated and just wanted to wait for an opportunity. Not only did he want to kick Chen Tiezhu out, he also wanted to make him get into big trouble!
Because of this, there was a rumor that Chu Mingzhou accepted bribes.
Wang Guangjian thought that Chu Mingzhou was the person behind Chen Tiezhu, so Chen Tiezhu was so eager to give him gifts.
He never expected that Chen Tiezhu only gave a few salted duck eggs, and they were given to Captain Chu's wife...
Lin Anan sighed, "It turns out it was all a coincidence. I thought it was because of me that Brother Zhuzi got into trouble!"
"Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you."
"Then Chief Steward Ma and Squad Leader Chen..."
"Fortunately, they did not carry out any actual operations and have admitted their mistakes. The army will criticize and punish them."
Lin Anan nodded and followed him to the kitchen. "What about you? Will it affect you if he accepts bribes?"
Chu Mingzhou used the rice washing water left over from cooking to wash the dishes.
"I'm fine. My boss has read the letter of apology I wrote. He confiscated it and praised me for being cautious."
In other words, the matter of bribery was simply put behind us and the big deal was resolved.
"Go back to the house and wait. The kitchen smells bad."
Lin Anan was kicked out again.
"All right."
Lin Anan let him clean up and went back to her room and sat on the edge of the kang, feeling a little emotional.
Chen Tiezhu's matter has been resolved.
Although Chief Steward Ma and Kitchen Squad Leader Chen Peng made mistakes, they received due criticism and punishment, which can be considered as an explanation.
After a while, Chu Mingzhou finished washing the dishes and walked into the room. Seeing Lin Anan sitting on the edge of the kang in a daze, he smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about? You look so absorbed in it."
"A little sleepy."
Chu Mingzhou reached out and rubbed her head, "You take a nap, I have something else to do in the camp, so I have to go there first."
Lin Anan nodded immediately, "Okay, go and do your thing, I'm at home."
Seeing her looking so worried, Chu Mingzhou's heart almost melted. He bent down to look at her at eye level, "Okay, then I'll have to take care of the family."
"Well, it's not hard."
Chu Mingzhou's eyes were full of smiles. He slowly moved closer and kissed her on the lips, "So good."
"Go away! Hurry up and leave. You have been so dishonest all day."
Lin Anan pushed the man away a little. She always felt like he was teasing her like a kitten or a puppy, just fooling around!
"Okay." Chu Mingzhou stood up, his eyes gentle, "I'm leaving now, you should have a good sleep, and we can talk when I come back if you have anything to say."
"Got it, Captain Chu!"
Lin Anan looked at Chu Mingzhou's departing back, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
I feel sleepy, but I can't fall asleep when I lie down on the kang...
When I first arrived in the northwest, everything was so strange, but in the blink of an eye, I have experienced so many things. The excitement of the New Year seems to be still in front of me, and the family sits together, full of laughter.
Now, life seems to be gradually returning to normal, but under this calmness, her heart is somewhat uneasy.
The whole world seems to have returned to its original state...
Lin Anan turned over and sat up, took out the manuscript and continued to organize it.
The slightly yellow paper is densely written with content, and the words are filled with the delicacy of the writing.
She flipped through the pages gently, sometimes stopping to make revisions, sometimes adding comments.
In a few days, it’s time to go to Yuanying Publishing House.
Time passed quietly in the quiet atmosphere. When it was almost time to go home from school, she packed up her things and hurried out.
When I stood at the gate of Shilipu No. 2 Primary School, I had to admit it, it was very refreshing.
The bell for the end of get out of class is different from that in the future. The bell is hung on the old locust tree and has to be manually shaken.
At such a strictly prohibited time, there were still vendors selling candied haws wandering around the school gate.
"Hello, three strings of candied haws please."
"Okay, take it. It's 12 cents in total."
"Okay, here you go."
Lin Anan took it and tasted one first.
The sweet and sour taste spreads in the mouth, and the fruity aroma of hawthorn and the sweet sugar coating blend perfectly.
“Very delicious!”
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the vendor ran faster than a rabbit, far away from the school, and waited at the corner of the road.
Some parents who were picking up their children began to look around and search for their children in the crowd.
Lin Anan stood at the school gate, looking at the children pouring out of the classroom like unbridled ponies, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
It's really lively.
Her eyes swept through the crowd, and soon, she saw the familiar figure of Chu Minglan. Her two braids danced happily with her steps. She held Chu Mingyu's hand tightly and ran towards Lin Anan like a happy little rabbit.
"Sister-in-law!" A clear voice sounded in my ears.
The two little guys' faces were filled with pure joy.
She handed over the candied haws and said, "Try it quickly. It's delicious."
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't wait to take the candied haws and take a bite.
"Wow, sister-in-law, this candied haws is so sweet!"
Chu Minglan also nodded vigorously, "Yeah, it's really delicious, sister-in-law, you are so kind to us!"
"If you like it, sister-in-law will buy it for you often in the future."
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
"Sister-in-law, why did you come to pick us up? It's cold outside, we can go back by ourselves."
Lin Anan winked at Chu Minglan, "It's the first day of the new semester, we have to pick it up. If others have it, our Xiaolan and Xiaoyu must have it too!"
After hearing what Lin Anan said, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu's little faces smiled like two blooming flowers.
The three of them walked home slowly.
Along the way, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu chatted with each other, talking about interesting things in school.
Chu Minglan said that her teacher praised her for her loud reading voice today, while Chu Mingyu excitedly shared that he won several marbles playing with his friends during the break.
Lin Anan listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.
The winter sun shines through the house, flickering and reflecting on them, as if adding a bit of warmth to this cold season.
"Does Xiaolan like painting?"
Lin Anan suddenly mentioned painting, and Chu Minglan's smile froze, "Sister-in-law, I..."
Lin Anan squeezed her little hand and said, "Don't be nervous, sister-in-law is just asking. It's not shameful to like painting. There's no need to hide it."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's a happy thing to have your own hobbies."
"Like my sister-in-law likes the violin and foreign languages?"
