"Aju, you're here to take care of Xiangyi's child? Why didn't you tell me?"
“I just arrived yesterday and didn’t have time to make it,” Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
"Okay, let's talk later. I'll cook first."
Lin Xiangyi was feeding Kuai Kuai in the room when she heard the voices of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Xie. She packed up and walked out. Seeing that only Aunt Zhao was there, she asked, "Auntie is here?"
"Here I am, in the kitchen," Aunt Zhao said with a smile, shaking Lele.
Aunt Xie and Mother Xie were married from the same village, so naturally she and Aunt Zhao knew each other.
"Aunt," Lin Xiangyi said loudly.
"Xiangyi, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Wait a minute, I'm cooking, it will be ready soon. Is this pork for lunch?" Aunt Xie said loudly in the kitchen.
"Yes..." Lin Xiangyi answered subconsciously: "No, aunt, I didn't ask you to come here to cook."
Aunt Xie: "You didn't call me, but your father did. He is still busy in the workshop and asked me to come over and cook for you."
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
This morning, Xie's mother accompanied Gao Shengnan to Sister Xie's house. They were worried that Lin Xiangyi would have to take care of Kuai Le with Aunt Zhao during her confinement, and Aunt Zhao would not have time to cook, so they asked Xie's father to come back at noon to cook before leaving.
Lin Xiangyi also asked Xie's father to call Aunt Xie over when he came back at noon.
Father Xie simply asked Aunt Xie to come over and help with cooking.
"Okay then," Lin Xiangyi said.
Aunt Xie still worked as efficiently as ever. She quickly prepared three dishes and a soup, and started eating when Xie's father came back.
"Xiangyi, how are you recovering? Can you take care of the child? If not, I can take care of it for you in the afternoon," Aunt Xie now had time to chat with Lin Xiangyi.
"No need," Lin Xiangyi said, "I can take care of him, and doesn't my aunt help me? She can handle it."
"Well, actually, both children are very well-behaved, especially Kuai Kuai. I have never seen such a well-behaved child. He just cries when he wants something. It's so worry-free. If my Xiao Mei also gives birth to such a well-behaved grandson, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams," said Aunt Xie fantasically.
Lin Xiangyi: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe your wish will come true."
Xie's father agreed: "Whether our wish can be fulfilled or not, we will probably know in ten days or half a month."
Su Xiaomei’s due date is only a few days away.
Aunt Xie: "Yes, in a few days, we will also have to go to the city to give birth."
"By the way, Xiangyi, is there anything you want me to do?" Aunt Xie remembered.
"There are some things I want to ask you and Dad," Lin Xiangyi said, "but don't worry, let's talk after dinner."
"Looking for me too?" asked Xie's father.
"Yes."
"OK."
After dinner, Aunt Zhao knew they had something to say, so she took the dishes to wash and gave them space.
"Xiangyi, what's the matter?" Aunt Xie asked as the three of them sat at the dinner table.
"Dad, aunt, given our relationship, I won't beat around the bush," Lin Xiangyi said, "Didn't Qingxiao and I go to the city in the past month? I just want to ask you if anything happened in the workshop?"
Father Xie and Aunt Xie thought about it carefully and shook their heads.
Father Xie: “Nothing happened!”
"Yes, the people in our workshop are basically all our trusted relatives and friends. Now that we are working together, we are closer to each other than before and have a good relationship. Nothing really happened," Aunt Xie also agreed.
It is because of a good relationship that problems may arise.
Lin Xiangyi knew that they had misunderstood her meaning. They probably thought she was asking if anyone was causing trouble.
"What I mean is," Lin Xiangyi asked bluntly, "Is there anyone who is lazy or late or leaves early?"
When Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie heard this, they looked embarrassed.
Lin Xiangyi looked at their expressions, how could she not understand?
Lin Xiangyi: "So it really exists?"
She said this with a calm expression, and it seemed that she was just trying to understand the matter and not to hold anyone accountable.
Seeing this, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie were no longer so nervous.
"Xiangyi, what you said is true," Aunt Xie said, "but people who work in workshops have families to support, especially women of my age, so it's inevitable that they will be held back by miscellaneous matters. It's okay to make some insignificant mistakes, as long as they don't delay things."
Yes, the work is quantitative. You can be lazy, be late, and leave early but still complete the task. Why is that?
At this moment, Lin Xiangyi was wondering if Gao Shengnan had seen it wrong, but after thinking again, she felt that it was not impossible.
If some people do less, then naturally some people do more.
But those who did more did not speak out... Why?
Lin Xiangyi: "How many people in the workshop have these problems? Have you counted them?"
"Yes," Aunt Xie and Father Xie told Lin Xiangyi about some of the students who were often late and left early.
Lin Xiangyi pieced together the information of these people and found that they were indeed very close to the Xie family - in this way, her guess was not impossible.
"Xiangyi, if you are unhappy with what they did, I will talk to them later," Xie's father said immediately upon seeing this.
"I'm really not happy about what they did," Lin Xiangyi didn't try to coax Father Xie, "It's only natural to work for money, don't you think so? Aunt, you should know this, right? I've never seen you late before."
"..." Aunt Xie straightened her back subconsciously. This was true.
Although she persuaded Lin Xiangyi to understand those people, she herself was paid by the Xie family and had never been late or left early.
Even because she is now a "small leader" in the workshop, she often works overtime, arriving early and leaving late.
In fact, she doesn't need to work with the people below her. It is enough for her to help arrange the people below her.
But she subconsciously felt that if she took the money, she had to be worthy of it and worthy of the trust of Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xie frowned and no longer understood those who were late or left early.
A family? Who doesn’t have a family? She also has a family.
Her family is simple. The old man is busy with household and farm matters, the son has to go to work, the daughter-in-law does not have a job but is about to give birth, and there is also a little granddaughter who still needs someone to take care of her.
She has a lot of things to do at home, but she can overcome all difficulties and come to work. Why can't others do the same?
Father Xie also understood this truth.
He suddenly felt a little ashamed because these people were all from his Xie family.
"Xiangyi, this is indeed unreasonable. I'll go talk to them later."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi nodded.
