Chapter 140: Don’t you want some support?
"Different trades are like different worlds. You don't understand, so don't talk nonsense." Gu Zhenhua said proudly: "My wife is a model worker in the factory. She doesn't work overtime, and she has her reasons for not working overtime."
Hearing Gu Zhenhua speaking for him, Lin Xiangnan's expression turned from cloudy to bright, "What our Gu Zhenhua said is right. Since you don't understand, I won't bother with you."
Today is Captain Wang’s birthday, and since he was a guest, Lin Xiangnan was kind enough not to turn his face away.
"I won't argue with you two. You two are in the same group."
Captain Wang curled his lips and turned to complain to Chief Yu of the Security Department, "I dare say that the employee with the easiest job in your factory is Lin Xiangnan. His life is even more leisurely than those in your Security Department."
Section Chief Yu said with a smile: "Xiao Lin is just so lucky. There is no point in you being envious."
"That's right, there's no use in being envious." Gu Zhenhua said, and took the child from Lin Xiangnan and played with the child with other comrades.
Today is Captain Wang’s 30th birthday. Although not many people were invited, there were two tables at home. The food and wine were all prepared by Luo Caixia, and it was very sumptuous.
Lin Xiangnan and his friends at the table didn't drink and left the table after eating. Gu Zhenhua and his friends wanted to drink, so they filled a bottle of Moutai and boasted for more than two hours.
Luo Caixia thought that Lao Wang was arranging work for her, so she worked hard during the day without complaint.
When she asked him at night, Captain Wang said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I will meet Chief Yu alone in a few days and will naturally tell him about the work."
After a tiring day, Luo Caixia couldn't hold back her anger when she heard the result.
"How long are you going to keep dragging this out?" Luo Caixia gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't help me get the job done, I'll go complain to your leader that you have a bad work style."
"That's not right. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm innocent. Why are you still pestering me? If you want a job, I'll find a way for you, but can you find a job quickly? You're from the countryside, so you don't know. Why don't you go ask the people in the city and see if it's hard to find a job."
Captain Wang's attitude made Luo Caixia so angry that she started crying.
"You helped me get the job done the last two days, and you want to deny it today?"
"Who doesn't admit it? Aren't I trying to help you find a solution?" Captain Wang said impatiently.
But Luo Caixia had learned her lesson. She was not satisfied with Captain Wang's attitude, so she immediately went downstairs with her child in her arms, "I'm going to find Political Commissar Xu to make the decision for me... I'm also going to the family building to find your regiment commander..."
She was running in front and Captain Wang was chasing after her.
The two of them started fighting in the yard, making quite a lot of noise.
Hu Meili was collecting clothes. When she heard the noise, she immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look. If I can, I'll try to persuade them so they don't start a fight."
There is a huge disparity in physical strength between men and women, so if a fight really breaks out, women are usually the ones who suffer.
When she went to knock on the door, Luo Caixia's hair was messy and there were bloody scratches on Captain Wang's neck from his nails.
As soon as Luo Caixia saw Hu Meili, she wanted to complain, "Old Wang, he..."
Hu Meili immediately interrupted her, "Today is such a good day, why are you still arguing? You two should talk it out properly, don't let outsiders laugh at you."
After saying that, Hu Meili glared at Luo Caixia.
After being glared at by Hu Meili, Luo Caixia regained some consciousness.
She glanced at Captain Wang and forced a smile on her face, "We didn't quarrel. It's just that the children were too noisy."
"Okay. It's good that you didn't quarrel. If you have anything to say, talk it out. I'll go back first." Before closing the door, Hu Meili reminded Luo Caixia again, "If you have anything to say, talk it out."
Throwing a tantrum is a means, not an end.
They are not actors, and they don't act like a spoiled brat in front of others every day just to find an audience for themselves.
It's no use just throwing a tantrum. After showing that you are not easy to bully, you should fight for your own interests.
Hu Meili used to act like a spoiled brat to deal with malicious relatives, useless men, and disobedient children... But her life has improved in the past two years, and she rarely uses these tricks because there is no need.
Luo Caixia's current situation is even more difficult than Hu Meili's back then.
It was only in the past few months that she was able to extort some private money from Lao Wang by acting like a spoiled brat. She had no money before that.
When Luo Caixia exposed Captain Wang's little tricks a few days ago, Captain Wang was afraid and felt guilty, so he easily made a promise to Luo Caixia.
But as time went on, his sense of guilt disappeared and Captain Wang became reluctant to fulfill his promise.
Just as Hu Meili said, a man's mind changes rapidly. Unfortunately, there was no way to get Captain Wang to sign and stamp the document regarding work matters.
Since the threat had just been made, Luo Caixia could only launch another combination of punches.
"I followed you when I was 20 years old. You said you would bring me to the city to live a good life. I gave birth to a daughter for you and took care of your three children..."
At this time Luo Caixia stopped being aggressive and started crying pitifully.
"Oh~ Why are you crying again? I really didn't have anything to do with anyone else."
The complex emotions of fear and guilt surged up in his heart again, and Captain Wang could only compromise and said, "From now on, I will give you my salary, except for the money I send home, okay? I don't have any money on me, so you should be relieved, right?"
Captain Wang thought to himself: He could just send 30 yuan to his family and keep half for himself, and he would still have money.
Luo Caixia's crying became quieter, and she asked sobbingly, "Where is the bankbook at home?"
"Where did the passbook come from at home? There is not a penny left." Captain Wang said with confidence.
Salaries are paid on time, medical treatment is free when you are sick, the company takes care of your living expenses, and if there is an emergency, you can get an advance on your salary so you don't have to worry about anything. There are many people who spend all their money month by month.
However, Captain Wang had a passbook in his hand, but he was not willing to take it out.
Putting aside the money she had earned in the past, Luo Caixia was also satisfied that she could manage Captain Wang's future salary, but she still said unwillingly, "As for that job, you have to help me with it."
"I know, but there's really no rush for this. We have to find an opportunity to transfer you in. If you don't do it for no reason, it's not easy for Section Chief Yu to arrange it."
"Well, I'll just wait."
After coaxing the man into submission, Captain Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he explained: "There is really nothing going on between me and Liu Feng from the nursery, but you insisted on making a scene. In the end, it will be embarrassing for everyone. Can't you just calm down?"
"You've given me your salary. You also promised to find me a job. Your heart must be with me. I believe in you."
Luo Caixia said this, but tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
Even though she and Captain Wang had quarreled before, she still felt that they were one and the same, a couple. She never thought that Captain Wang would hook up with another woman.
Although the two did not develop to the point of having sex, Luo Caixia also clearly realized that her husband had never liked her.
This is something that makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Captain Wang still felt a little guilty. Seeing that Luo Caixia had stopped making trouble, he urged her, "Go back to sleep quickly. You've been making a fuss all day long."
"Remember to ask for me about the work." Luo Caixia deliberately said, "I am going to work in that factory, and I will personally keep an eye on that woman."
"I got it. Are you done yet?" Captain Wang said, and went upstairs to his room to sleep first.
Luo Caixia's parents died early and she had no elders around her, so when she had something to say, she could only talk to Hu Meili, who was closest to her.
Hu Meili didn't need to ask about her affairs, Luo Caixia could explain everything herself.
"You really can't rush into work. It's also good to be able to manage the family's money." Hu Meili advised.
"I just feel sad." Luo Caixia said: "I never thought that Lao Wang was such a person. I think I really can't rely on him for the rest of my life. I still have to rely on my children and the company."
Hu Meili sighed, "After you made such a fuss, Captain Wang won't dare to mess around anymore."
"Yes, I was crying and making a fuss, so he must have been scared. Even if he wasn't worried about me and the kids, he was afraid that his future would be in jeopardy."
The two of them did not avoid Lin Xiangnan when talking, and Lin Xiangnan ate the melon carefully.
Seeing Luo Caixia and Hu Meili's expressions as if they had won a victory, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but shake his head.
I find it very boring.
Not to mention her friends around her, in the past, even if she saw her husband cheating on her while watching short videos online, she would be indignant and leave a message in the comment section to persuade them to break up.
It will be easy to find a job in the future. It will be hard to get rich, but it will be easy to make a living. There is no need to compromise for the sake of marriage.
But now, Lin Xiangnan really didn't dare to easily persuade Luo Caixia to divorce.
If she didn't have a job, Luo Caixia's organizational relationship would be transferred back to her hometown after the divorce. Lin Xiangnan had personally experienced how tiring farming was, and she couldn't bear the hardship anyway.
Lin Xiangnan had no way of judging which was harder, mental suffering or physical suffering.
But if Luo Caixia divorced and returned to her hometown, she would most likely remarry, and then she would not be able to escape either the mental or physical suffering.
The divorce rate is low in this era, but the suicide rate among rural women is high.
In comparison, playing peacemaker with Captain Wang has become Luo Caixia's best option.
Lin Xiangnan felt uncomfortable just thinking about this kind of thing.
Gu Zhenhua clearly did nothing, but he always felt that Lin Xiangnan's eyes were looking at him particularly dangerously recently. He was even cautious when he lifted the quilt and went to bed.
Under Lin Xiangnan's scrutiny, Gu Zhenhua said seriously, "Why are you looking at me? I just took a shower."
Lin Xiangnan didn't even listen to what he said. He just moved closer to his neck and sniffed around like a puppy.
It was the smell of the soap at home, and Lin Xiangnan nodded with relief.
Gu Zhenhua didn't know what Lin Xiangnan was doing. He just naturally hugged Lin Xiangnan and kissed him, "I knew you missed me."
He couldn't smell anything, so Lin Xiangnan took the opportunity to touch Gu Zhenhua's abdominal muscles.
After checking the man from head to toe, Lin Xiangnan rolled into Gu Zhenhua's arms before going to bed, and said good night with a smile.
After sticking together for a while, Gu Zhenhua didn't get tired of it, but Lin Xiangnan got tired of it first.
When Gu Zhenhua finished taking a shower and came over to stare at him, Lin Xiangnan raised the notebook in his hand guiltily.
"I have to work overtime tonight."
"Overtime?" Gu Zhenhua's eyes turned resentful. "You never worked overtime at night before."
"It's the last minute now. We just need to finish this sooner so we can breathe a sigh of relief and have a good New Year." Lin Xiangnan complained, "Director Jin and the others insisted on getting the results sooner."
Everyone was working like a workhorse, and Lin Xiangnan couldn't stand it any longer, so he took some much-needed data home to process.
If she didn't help, Sun Yi and the others would have to stay up late at night, and Lin Xiangnan couldn't bear it.
She had a good point, but Gu Zhenhua still questioned, "Why don't you work after you get home from get off work? Why do you have to wait until night?"
"I have to play with the kids this afternoon." Lin Xiangnan smiled and handed a book to Gu Zhenhua, "If you don't want to sleep, just stay with me at the desk."
In the evening, Lin Xiangnan worked an extra hour on the night shift, which was a rare occasion.
She only works overtime occasionally, but Chief Engineer Zhang and Jin Baoguang and others basically work overtime every night.
Dozens of people worked hard for half a year and finally built the helicopter by the end of the year.
Lin Xiangnan saw with his own eyes a huge monster appear before his eyes from nothing. The sense of accomplishment he felt was naturally indescribable.
After her pride swelled, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but feel guilty. She poked Sun Yi's shoulder and asked, "Can this fly?"
"In theory, there is no problem."
"That's just nonsense." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Without a successful test flight, the mission would not be completed. So after the test was passed, Director Jin quickly contacted the test pilot from the army to conduct a test flight.
If there are any unreasonable aspects, their department will need to adjust the data.
On the day of the test flight, in addition to Chief Engineer Zhang and Master Li, technical backbones such as Lin Xiangnan were also there. In case any problems occurred, Lin Xiangnan would be on the scene and the remedy could be faster.
Because they were too nervous, Master Li and his group were still touching the helicopter here and there before the test flight, while Lin Xiangnan jumped directly into the cockpit and sat there.
There were no stools around and she was too lazy to stand and wait.
After sitting for a while, Sun Yi shouted to her, "You can come out now. Director Jin is here. The leader is here."
Lin Xiangnan leaned over the door of the cab and looked back, and just in time he saw Gu Zhenhua, Political Commissar Xu, Battalion Commander Wang and a group of people walking towards this side.
After the two looked at each other, Gu Zhenhua was too embarrassed to make any big movements, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but secretly rise.
Lin Xiangnan was very happy as he didn't expect to meet Gu Zhenhua here.
"I'm a little nervous." Sun Yi swallowed and said, "Are those regiment commanders and battalion commanders next door all free? Why are they all here to watch the fun?"
After he said this, the smile on Lin Xiangnan's face froze. If the test flight was successful, everyone would be proud. If it failed, it would be embarrassing.
Because of her distraction, she almost sprained her ankle when she jumped out of the cab.
Gu Zhenhua was startled and rushed over to help.
As soon as Chief Engineer Zhang brought Director Jin and others over, they saw Lin Xiangnan almost falling to the ground, while Sun Yi was in a daze and looked indifferent.
He immediately criticized, "Sun Yi, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you help hold on? Xiao Lin almost fell just now."
