"Be careful on the road." It was getting late, so after saying a few words, Zhao Huaiyan sent the two of them to the door. He watched from afar as the flashlight light disappeared into a dot and only returned to the house after it was completely out of sight.
"Second sister, are you guys...?"
Ning Shaolan hugged Ning Xi's waist from behind, and used one hand to hold a flashlight to light the way for her.
"Your eyesight is so good? I didn't seem to say anything just now." Ning Xi thought she was only focused on reading.
"The way he looked at my second sister just now was like Huanhuan looking at Grandpa Dou."
He was happy when his second sister saw him, and he kept staring at them after they left, as if an invisible tail was wagging at them.
If the second sister waved at him, maybe she would rush over like Huanhuan.
"Hahaha, if it really is Huanhuan, then I'll have to run away with my bike overnight."
Although Huanhuan from Grandpa Dou's family is smart and familiar with them, Ning Xi can't resist her enthusiasm.
Every time I see it, I hide far away, afraid that it will get too close and I will get stressed and accidentally hurt it.
......
The next day, Ning Xi went to work as usual. She put a piece of bacon in her bag and went to Ruan Liping's office during lunch time.
"Oh, how come you have time to come to my place?" Ruan Liping was just about to go downstairs to eat, but when she saw Ning Xi come in, she sat back in her chair, folding her arms and looking at her with a half-smile.
"Hey, my friend brought me some meat, so I thought I'd give some to Sister Ruan too. It's good stuff, so everyone can have a taste~"
My uncle steamed a plate of it last night without adding anything else. It had a salty and fragrant taste and was very delicious.
Ning Xi took out the meat and put it on the table with a smile.
She may not be good at anything else, but she has mastered the art of being thick-skinned.
"You, you..." Ruan Liping was indeed hurt by Ning Xi's behavior during this period, although the two of them knew each other because of the exchange of interests.
But in her heart, she really regarded Ning Xi as her sister.
As a result, Ning Xi rejected her kindness again and again, and she realized that the other person just wanted to be friends with her for a one-time thing.
Have you figured it out now?
"I'm a loner. I've never had two friends since I was a child. I was definitely wrong before. Sister Ruan, please don't be angry with me."
Ning Xi saw that her attitude had softened, and quickly ran over to support her, "Sister Ruan, let's go eat together~"
Ruan Liping was stunned. This was the first time Ning Xi invited her to dinner at work.
After she came to work, she seemed to want to separate herself from me. Whenever we met occasionally, she would just call me Director Ruan in a businesslike manner, let alone something more intimate like having dinner together.
"Okay, let's go!" Ruan Liping was also hungry, so she picked up her lunch box and the two of them hurried to the cafeteria.
Jiang Jianhui's work progress was slow in the morning and he needed the documents urgently in the afternoon, so he rushed to the office for a while. As a result, when he came out, he saw Ruan Liping and Ning Xi walking down the stairs hand in hand.
His face changed drastically for a moment, he felt a little scared but also felt that it was nothing.
He and Wang Chuan were childhood friends, and he had heard Wang Chuan complain a lot these past few days about Ning Xi bullying him and embarrassing him everywhere.
However, they heard that Ning Xi had a complicated relationship with Director Ruan and that they couldn't touch her easily. They also observed her for a while and finally concluded that Ning Xi was just trying to take advantage of Director Ruan's influence.
Because they found that Ning Xi had not said anything to Director Ruan in so many days, and they just greeted each other casually when they met.
It is very likely that she went to see Ruan Liping on her first day at work on purpose to let others see her, so that everyone would misunderstand that she had a close relationship with Ruan Liping.
After discovering this, Wang Chuan and Jiang Jianhui thought about finding an opportunity to embarrass Ning Xi.
I finally found an opportunity yesterday, but I didn't expect that such a delicate and tender girl would actually hit someone directly.
Just as he was about to fight back, he saw Ruan Liping looking at him sinisterly from behind. Jiang Jianhui was unsure for a moment, so he had to recognize the situation and temporarily avoid the limelight.
Jiang Jianhui simply followed the two of them secretly.
"How's your work lately? No one is giving you any trouble, right?" The two of them arrived late and were at the back of the line, so Ruan Liping asked her casually.
Ning Xi was standing in front and turned sideways to talk to Ruan Liping. She happened to meet Jiang Jianhui's eyes and gave him a glare.
She felt extremely guilty being looked at by Jiang Jianhui. Would she not complain to Ruan Liping?
"If anyone dares to bully me, I'll come find Sister Ruan and let you vent my anger!"
Ruan Liping was taller than her and tugged at her pigtails. "Is that even necessary?"
"Your hair grows pretty fast, but it's layered. Do you want me to cut it for you?"
Nowadays everyone advocates hard work and simplicity, and many people cut their own hair. Ruan Liping's skills are not bad.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you to go home together after get off work?" Ning Xi is in much better health now. Her newly grown hair is thick, black and smooth, with a clear difference in color from her previous yellow hair.
Looking at Ning Xi's beaming face, Ruan Liping felt as if she had returned to the age of eighteen or nineteen.
She felt lonely living alone and had long wanted to take Ning Xi back to play. "Okay, wait for me after work."
That night, Ning Xi returned home with her new student hairstyle. In the evening, Hu Guangrong sent Mr. Dou back and brought the agreed money and things to Ning Xi.
Another 150 yuan added to the small treasury
It seems that the food factory is quite generous.
In addition to the 100 yuan that Hu Guangrong paid himself, the factory gave him an additional 50 yuan and 10 snack tickets printed by the factory itself, which could only be used at the factory.
They are all real things, nothing fancy.
Liu Chunmei came back from get off work, drinking brown sugar water and eating buns, her round almond eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
"Dad, you know what, ever since Xiaoxi came back, our family's living standards have improved, and we've never been short of this brown sugar water."
