Chapter 107 Ugly Clothes
Lin Xiangnan felt that she was just a data calculator and there was no point in staying here. After satisfying her curiosity, she said hello to Sun Yi and walked away on her own.
When she went to Chief Engineer Zhang again to sign the leave application, Chief Engineer Zhang was hesitant to speak.
"Why are you standing there? Sign it." Lin Xiangnan knocked on the table and urged.
Judging from the situation, if you don’t know, you would think that Lin Xiangnan is the leader.
Chief Engineer Zhang didn't dare to say anything. He signed the letter honestly and said with concern: "Work is important, but health is more important. Don't tire yourself out."
Lin Xiangnan suspected that he was speaking in a sarcastic way, but he still responded with a smile: "Don't worry about that. I will definitely not tire myself out."
After Chief Engineer Zhang signed, Lin Xiangnan calmly slipped away.
"Hey~ Why are you back so late this afternoon? It's almost three o'clock now." Aunt Hua came over with two fish, "We'll have fish soup tonight."
In order to accommodate Lin Xiangnan's schedule, she deliberately finished work at 2 o'clock. Who knew that Lin Xiangnan worked even harder in the afternoon than in the morning.
"In just two or three hours in the afternoon, you caught two such big fish? Your fishing skills have improved." Lin Xiangnan took the fish and couldn't help teasing.
"I just caught two small ones and fed them to the cat. I bought these two fish at the grocery store." Aunt Hua was honest.
"Feed the fish in the water first, and I'll take care of it later, so you don't feel uncomfortable then."
Lin Xiangnan didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she was in good health. But since Aunt Hua was willing to work, Lin Xiangnan would not compete with her for work.
Fearing that Lin Xiangnan would feel lonely eating alone, Aunt Hua accompanied Lin Xiangnan for dinner before taking another serving of fish soup back home.
After the main course was served, Political Commissar Xu began to set the table and prepare to eat. Chen Xiulan took out a bowl from the kitchen and began to serve the rice and vegetables.
Aunt Hua asked curiously, "Who is this bowl of rice prepared for?"
Chen Xiulan explained: "This is for Luo Caixia. She just gave birth to a child and her husband is not around, so I should help take care of her."
Her husband is the political commissar. In order to support her husband's work, Chen Xiulan cares a lot about the women in the family compound.
Auntie Hua also liked her enthusiastic attitude, but she couldn't help asking, "Didn't Captain Wang invite someone from his hometown to take care of us? The one named Han Qiao."
"Little Leopard has a fever and is receiving IV drips in the hospital. Han Qiao is watching over him. Luo Caixia is home alone, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her."
After Chen Xiulan finished speaking, she took the bowl and went out, "You guys eat first, I'll be back soon."
When she arrived at Wang's house, Luo Caixia was holding her child and cooking.
Chen Xiulan quickly put the bowl on the stove and advised: "Don't cook anymore, just eat something first."
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Luo Caixia asked with concern, "How is the little leopard?"
"The situation is much better. You will be hospitalized for observation for one night today and should be able to return tomorrow. You eat first, and I will ask the children to get the bowls later. I will go back first. Let me know if there is anything."
Seeing Chen Xiulan leave in a hurry, Luo Caixia started to pick up her chopsticks to eat. While eating, she couldn't help crying.
Their family now has a pregnant woman who just gave birth, a baby, a one-year-old daughter, and a seven-year-old son, and none of them can work.
No matter how much Luo Caixia disliked Han Qiao's temper, she still kept her because the family really needed someone.
But she didn't expect that Han Qiao was so careless. If Wang Hu hadn't discovered something was wrong, no one would have known that the little leopard had been burned stupidly.
She had raised the little leopard for a year and had a deep affection for it. Who would have known that if she wasn't paying enough attention, the little leopard would become so seriously ill. Luo Caixia felt very sad.
Perhaps feeling her mother's emotions, the daughter in her arms also started crying.
Luo Caixia could only put down her bowl, wipe away her tears, and start coaxing the child.
With a wooden face, she coaxed the child, put her back on the bed, left the room, closed the door, went to another room, and started swearing.
"Damn Wang Shengli, you bastard, why don't you just die..."
Even though Captain Wang was not at home and there was no audience in front of her, Luo Caixia could not help but want to go crazy and curse.
After scolding, she felt relieved and not so upset. When she went back to the room to comfort the crying child, she felt much calmer.
She wiped the tears from her daughter's face and murmured, "When will Lao Wang come back? I really want to scold him in person."
Perhaps because of her muttering, the next afternoon, Gu Zhenhua and his team finished their training and went home as a team.
Gu Zhenhua and his companions had been in the mountains for three days and were all smelling of earth. The first thing they did when they returned home was to boil some hot water for a bath.
After cleaning up, he knocked on the door next door and asked, "Auntie Hua, where is my wife?"
Lin Xiangnan usually either stays at home or goes to learn knowledge with Aunt Hua. Occasionally, when Aunt Hua has other things to do, Lin Xiangnan goes out to play by herself, and Aunt Hua roughly knows her schedule.
"She went to work. She will be back soon." Aunt Hua waved to Gu Zhen, "Come and take this plate of roasted pork jerky back. This is for Xiaolin."
"Going to work? Where did she go to work? I haven't heard of any recruitment news from that company? She is still pregnant, why would she go to work? Is there not enough money at home?" Gu Zhenhua asked a series of questions.
Gu Zhenhua and Xu Zhengwei had high salaries, which were more than enough to support their families. But Lin Xiangnan and the others had other hobbies. Gu Zhenhua's monthly salary was not enough to buy Lin Xiangnan's salt jar.
But how could Auntie Hua say this? "Enough for spending, of course. It's just that Xiaolin is talented, and Director Jin specially recruited him."
"Xiao Nan is indeed smart, but she is a delicate person. How could she go to the factory..."
It seems that Gu Zhenhua wants to get to the bottom of the matter, but this matter is a long story and Aunt Hua doesn't want to talk about it.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaolin will probably want to eat this pork jerky when she gets home. I think you can take it home and cut it into small pieces. That way it will be more convenient. She will be back soon, so you two can talk about it slowly."
After being assigned a task, Gu Zhenhua did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the plate of pork jerky home to cut it.
When Lin Xiangnan came back on his bicycle, he came out from the kitchen to greet him.
Lin Xiangnan's eyes lit up when he saw him, "You're finally back. I missed you so much during the days you were away."
Gu Zhenhua was just about to ask about work when he turned around and saw Lin Xiangnan wearing a gray suit.
Gu Zhenhua asked in shock: "Is there no money at home? Where is your closet of clothes?"
"The beautiful clothes are in the closet." Lin Xiangnan said, "I specially found several ugly clothes to wear to work."
Gu Zhenhua looked distressed, "Not really, really not."
"That's not a big deal." Lin Xiangnan smiled, "I can't go to the office dressed up nicely while they disgust me, right? That would be a big loss."
