Chapter 126: All in vain
Qin Yang looked at the food Li Wei fed him with disdain and reached out to take the spoon. "Let Bai Xiaoming deal with it. There's nothing to see."
His spoon was taken away, and Li Wei knew his brother’s temper, so he put the lunch box on the small table in front of him.
"How come there's nothing to see? This is all thanks to you. You've taken on so much pressure and risk to achieve today's success. Not to mention anything else, you almost lost your arm here. If I were to say, next year's May 1st Labor Medal and the company's major breakthrough award will go to you."
"It's all empty fame," Qin Yang lowered his head to eat, he wanted more than just that.
Li Wei pulled a chair and sat next to it. He saw the letter on the bedside table at a glance. There was also a stack of stationery and a pen next to it.
"Are you planning to write a letter back to your sister-in-law? Do you want someone to write it for you? Just tell me and I'll write it for you."
He picked up the letter paper and pen with a smile, as if to say, "Don't be polite with me."
Qin Yang glanced at him with disdain, which made Li Wei laugh.
"What? Are you still embarrassed? We are both married people, why should you be embarrassed to talk to me? You may not know as much as I do about the private conversations between couples. After all, I got married two years earlier than you."
Qin Yang's face darkened as he listened, "If you don't shut up, get out."
Li Wei laughed even more happily, and the letter he was holding rustled. "Well, my kindness was taken for granted. Anyway, you really didn't plan to tell your sister-in-law about your injury? If it were me, you should have written a letter home long ago and asked your sister-in-law to take care of you. You and your wife could have been reunited for a few days. But you kept it a secret."
"It will be fine in a few days," Qin Yang put the last bite of rice into his mouth, staring at the lunch box and said lightly.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. The doctor said that if you don't take good care of your arm, you will have trouble drawing in the future. Even if you take good care of it, it's hard to say how well it will recover. You know how much your boss values you, so don't be careless. Your good days are just beginning when this project is successful."
In the entire group, Li Wei and Qin Yang are close in age and have the best relationship with each other. These words can be said to be spoken from the bottom of the heart.
Qin Yang nodded again, "I know."
"I know, I know, you know everything, but you don't take yourself seriously. Do you really think you can hide it from your family? If you don't reply to my letter, how can my family not get suspicious?"
Li Wei couldn't do anything about his brother, so he packed up the lunch box and took it to the bathroom to wash it.
Qin Yang reached out and took the letter, stroking it gently, his deep eyes filled with tenderness.
She is so busy that she may not be able to consider whether she replies or not.
Wait a few more days, maybe he will be able to hold a pen in a few days. As long as he can hold a pen, he will write back to her.

As December approached, the weather was getting colder day by day. Lin Chuxia had already adjusted the working hours. Even so, the purchasing staff in the store were the hardest working ones.
When Lin Chuxia came to the store, she saw Hou Xiaobao delivering cooked food to the store.
He was breathing heavily while moving the goods downstairs. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when I first met him, but they looked much thinner in this cold winter.
The wind is a bit strong today. She still feels cold even though she is standing outside in her thick cotton coat. What is the point of having that coat?
"Monkey, what time did you come out?"
When Hou Xiaobao saw that it was Lin Chuxia, he thought she was asking about work and immediately stood up straight.
"I left at 5 o'clock today. I went to the butcher's shop to pick up meat first, and then delivered cooked food to the train station. This is the last one to be delivered. After moving these goods, I will go to the chicken farm again."
His job that day was to ride his tricycle between several shops and chicken farms.
The work is simple and the store provides food and accommodation. Hou Xiaobao is very satisfied with his current job.
Lin Chuxia frowned slightly. It was 5 o'clock in the morning, the coldest time of the day.
Hou Xiaobao has been working here for nearly a month, and there are still a few days before his salary is paid.
Turning to look at Qin Han, "Brother, take some money out of the account later and ask my sister-in-law to take some time out to go to the mall to buy three coats today. Each of the store's stocking staff will get one coat. This is considered a welfare benefit for the store."
Hou Xiaobao then realized why Lin Chuxia asked him when he would come out, and waved his hand quickly, "Boss Lin, I'm not cold. Don't look at how little I'm wearing. I won't be cold once I start pedaling."
A military coat costs thirty or forty yuan, which is one month's salary.
He originally planned to earn another month's salary and buy one, but he didn't expect his boss to notice it.
"Okay, stop being so stubborn," Lin Chuxia deliberately put on a stern face, "I bought a military coat and you should wear it well. Don't catch a cold. Delivery is an important part of the store's work. If you fall ill, I will have to arrest you right away."
I don’t know if Jia Liang and Hou Xiaobao were scared by her beating, especially Hou Xiaobao, who always cowered when talking to her.
When it comes to treating her employees, she isn't like a tigress.
Hou Xiaobao stood up straight and nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mr. Lin."
He was suddenly so touched. No one had ever cared whether he was cold or hungry since he was a child. It seemed as if he had been redundant since he was a child.
But Mr. Lin not only gave him a job, he even gave him money for sleeping. Now he was worried that he would be cold, so he spent a lot of money to buy military coats for them to wear.
He must do his job well and not let General Lin down.
By the afternoon, Zhang Guilan had bought the military coat.
In addition to Hou Xiaobao, the delivery staff also include Qin Han and Sun Bingnan.
There were 4 carts, one for Qin Han and Sun Bingnan each, and Hou Xiaobao had two, one for transporting raw meat and one for transporting cooked food.
Hou Xiaobao happened to be in the store. He immediately put on his military coat and smiled like a fool.
Chen Chunhua sighed, "You guys are doing a great job, Monkey. You haven't even received your salary yet, but you've already earned a military coat."
A military coat is equivalent to one month's salary, which means you earn two months' salary for one month's work.
Qin Lihua joked, "Aunt Chen, do you also want to deliver goods on a tricycle? If you do this job, my fourth aunt will definitely give you a military coat."
Chen Chunhua's expression froze, and she waved her hands, "I can't do it. I can't even ride a bicycle, let alone a tricycle."
And that thing. It’s easy to move cooked food, but it’s not easy to move raw meat and chicken around every day.
Qin Lihua curled her lips secretly. Don't think that she didn't hear Chen Chunhua's sour words because she was young. It was not her fourth aunt's turn to be told what to do.
She has seen things clearly during these days working in the store. Although the store belongs to her fourth aunt, it is called Qin's Baozi Shop. Her second uncle, second aunt, fifth uncle, and fifth aunt also work in the store. She is also a member of the Qin family. This store belongs to their Qin family. If outsiders say something bad about the store, they are saying something bad about them, and she doesn't count it.
