Qin An Ning didn't want to talk about Wei Hongling and Sui Chengyu anymore.
They were friends who grew up together, and even though their relationship was now distant, she still wished them well.
She held Si Nian's arm, and the two of them walked slowly, "Now that we're close, you can come and play with me when you're resting.
I have a separate courtyard near Shichahai, it's quite large, and you'll have a place to stay there."
Speaking of this, Si Nian immediately became interested, "Did you rent it? I heard the scenery over there is nice. I really need to find a chance to go and see it."
"It's not rented, someone else gave it to me as compensation."
Knowing that Si Nian would definitely ask, Qin An Ning did not hide it and told him about Ge Yunqing.
After hearing this, Si Nian pouted angrily, and there seemed to be a burning fire in his eyes.
"You're too easy to talk to. She destroyed all your hard work, and you're only giving her this little compensation. How can that be okay?
Don't be afraid of her. So what if her father holds a high position?
You have Uncle Zhou and my dad behind you, no one can bully you."
Seeing Si Nian glaring with his eyes and his cheeks flushed with anger, Qin An Ning found it funny and heartwarming.
Not wanting Si Nian to be angry for too long, she quickly tried to comfort him.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, listen to me.
I have a habit of backing up important experimental data.
The damage to the notebook did cause some trouble for my work, but not much.
The most important thing is that Ge Yunqing didn't do it on purpose. She is just a spoiled young lady who knows nothing and her family has too high expectations of her.
To be practical, considering her father's position, proposing this solution proactively is already the greatest sincerity he can show.
Otherwise, Ge Yunqing would not have received such a severe punishment if the incident had occurred.
Ge Jian is in charge of approving the funding for the institute, and if he makes any small mistake, the institute's affairs will be affected.
The deputy director of our institute is very nice to me, so I can't help but consider him.
Now that we've kicked Ge Yunqing out of our lab and received compensation from her family, I think that's enough."
It's not a case of showing mercy, it's just a choice made after careful consideration.
After listening to this, Si Nian sighed deeply, a look of frustration on his face, "Ningning, I find that you have matured a lot.
Looking at myself, I am still like a child, always trying to figure out what is right and what is wrong in everything I encounter."
But those who can always maintain this attitude are those who grew up being pampered and cared for.
Their world is simple and beautiful, and they don't have to worry about complicated interpersonal relationships.
If she could have been protected by her parents like this all the time, she might be living a simple and happy life like Si Nian now.
"We're in a different environment. Everything in the army is relatively simpler, so you don't have to worry about those complicated things. But I still want to thank you for protecting me."
Si Nian put his hands on his hips and said in a feigned anger, "Don't you consider me your friend anymore? Why are you still thanking me?"
Seeing this, Qin Anning quickly clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
When Lu Cheng came out to look for someone, he saw this scene.
His wife begged for help in a wronged manner, but her eyes were shining with a bright and cheerful smile.
It can be seen that she is really happy here.
"Ningning!"
Lu Cheng called out softly, then strode towards her.
"You're awake. Do you have a headache?" Qin An Ning asked with concern as soon as she saw Lu Cheng.
"Not bad, I feel much better after a good sleep. I thought I could hold my liquor pretty well, but I ended up getting drunk. I hope I didn't make a fool of myself, did I?"
Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou deliberately made him drink to test his drinking ability. They tried to make sure he didn't make any jokes while drunk and embarrass Ningning.
Qin Anning looked at him with a smile and said jokingly, "No, I just slept like a pig and didn't even know I was sold."
Lu Cheng subconsciously glanced at Si Nian next to him and swallowed the witty remark back.
Si Nian tactfully retreated, "You guys chat, I don't want to be a light bulb, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he waved his hand and ran away as if there was a dog chasing him.
Qin Anning smiled and shook her head, then turned around and asked Lu Cheng, "Does your head really not hurt?"
She was wondering whether she should get some hangover medicine when she got home. Lu Cheng had never drunk too much before, so she didn't think about it that way.
Lu Cheng put on a wronged face and pretended to be pitiful, "It hurts, then rub it for me!"
He wasn't pretending at all, Qin An Ning rolled his eyes.
In public, rub your butt, it must hurt!
After dinner, the two left. It was not safe to drive at night, so Wen Ling did not try to keep them.
I just stuffed a lot of delicious food into the car, including apples and dumplings sent by Aunt Si.
Lu Cheng drank some wine at noon, and Qin Anning drove him back.
Qin Anning was very quiet along the way, and even Lu Cheng looked at her several times without noticing.
He asked worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong with you? What's on your mind?"
"Ah? No!" Qin An Ning turned her head to look at Lu Cheng, and seeing his worried look, she smiled and said, "I just suddenly thought of something.
Before we came to Beijing, Meng Yu said that she and Pei Qian would come in two days.
It's been a month and they haven't come yet. I wonder if something has happened."
Lu Cheng lazily leaned back in his chair. When he heard about this, he said nonchalantly, "What could it be? As a soldier, don't you know? Pei Qian might have been delayed by something unexpected."
Qin Anning thought about it and felt that what he said was right. If Pei Qian was delayed for a few days and the village started the autumn harvest, no one would be allowed to take leave.
Autumn harvest?!
"Lu Cheng, if you ask Feng Aiguo to deliver meat to my parents and grandparents every week, he won't be able to take leave for the autumn harvest!"
Lu Chengteng sat up straight, blinked and looked at Qin Anning, "I forgot about this."
He had been working all the time, so he forgot to consider that he couldn't take leave for the autumn harvest.
During the autumn harvest, the grown men are exhausted. If they can't eat good food to replenish their energy, his parents will be fine, but I'm afraid his grandparents won't be able to bear it.
Their identities are there, so even if his father wants to take care of them, he can't be too obvious.
After all, the old man is old, so even if he is taking Ningning's tonic, he still needs to eat nutritious food.
Lu Cheng quickly thought of a solution in his mind. His second brother and third sister only had a few meat coupons per month, so even if they wanted to buy meat for the family, they couldn't buy much.
In previous years, he was the one who brought meat home, and even if they wanted to buy it, they might not be able to find a way.
"I'll call the transport team tomorrow and see if anyone can deliver meat to my house a few times during the autumn harvest.
They all have connections in the black market, so it's not difficult for them to get pork and chicken."
He just owes someone a favor, but he can afford to pay it back.
Qin An Ning nodded. This was the only way now.
I wonder if my uncle and aunt still have the dried meat they sent me. I'll buy some canned luncheon meat tomorrow and send some over.
