Jiang Wanqing was startled awake from her dream. She sat up abruptly and touched her forehead, which was covered in sweat.
This is absurd! She actually had such a dream!
Ah, in her dream, Cheng Ran fell in love with someone else and didn't want her and Nannan anymore. Cheng's parents finally found a reason to force her to divorce him...
It seems that what Cheng's mother said during the day had some impact on her, which is why she had nightmares at night. Jiang Wanqing got up and poured herself a glass of water.
Close the windows to block out the wind from outside.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and the temperature is dropping day by day.
With more than two hours left until dawn, she finished her water and went back to bed to doze off.
She stayed awake until dawn, and for the first time, she got up earlier than her mother, Xue He, to make breakfast for the whole family...
So much so that when Xue He woke up and found a hot breakfast already prepared and placed on the table, she thought she was hallucinating and quickly rubbed her eyes.
"My God, who did this...?"
When she woke up, Jiang Jianguo was still sleeping in the room.
"Mom, you're awake. Wash your face and brush your teeth, then you can have breakfast."
Jiang Wanqing brought the last pot of porridge to the table and took off her apron.
"Wanqing, why...why did you get up so early today?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up early," she replied, raising an eyebrow nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Xue He quickly stepped forward and touched her forehead.
Are you feeling alright anywhere?
"No, you're overthinking it. I just can't sleep because of the changing seasons. Can't I even make you a breakfast myself?" Jiang Wanqing chuckled. "I'll go wake up Nannan."
"What's wrong with this child today?"
She still felt something was off, but since her daughter had said it was fine, Xue He didn't want to think about it anymore. She shook her head and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
My daughter is currently growing, and since going to school is quite tiring, she eats a lot for breakfast.
Jiang Wanqing casually mentioned, "Mom, let's make some mooncakes ourselves this Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Ah, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here again. It's time to prepare mooncakes. In previous years, we always bought them, but this year we'll try making them ourselves. That's a good idea."
"I'll give you money to buy more raw materials. I plan to use some of it for employee benefits and send the rest to Cheng Ran."
He's in the southwest, and I don't know how he'll spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Will anyone give him money? Does he have time off? Or will he celebrate the festival with others?
"That's a good idea. Cheng Ran lives so far away from home. We can make some mooncakes and send them to him so he can taste the flavors of home. Hmm, not bad."
Xue He agreed with the idea and felt a surge of motivation.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Wanqing took her daughter to school as usual, and then returned to the factory.
However, she didn't go back to the main factory today, but instead went to the factory managed by Qin Meng and Shen Huan.
She rarely comes here, and not many people know her. As soon as she entered, she went straight to Qin Meng's office.
But the door was locked, so she turned around and went to Shen Huan's office.
"Oh, what a rare guest! Wanqing, what brings you here today? Please have a seat."
Upon seeing her arrive, Shen Huan was overjoyed and repeatedly invited her to sit down, even making her tea.
"I came to see if there's anything I can help you with at work, and while I'm at it... I'll also check on Qin Meng," Jiang Wanqing replied.
"Ah, her... um... not good. I believe Molly told you about her situation when she got back. Ever since Huanren rejected her, she's been completely distracted. So, since they're hiring recently, I sent her out to do some promotions so she can relax a bit."
This arrangement is not bad. After all, the factory is a closed environment. Staying there all the time will make it easier to overthink things, and it wouldn't be good if some bad habits developed.
“The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. If I remember correctly, she hasn’t been able to reunite with her family for a long time. I have an idea. Why don’t we secretly bring her family over to celebrate the festival with her? It would also help her relax and have some fun.”
"Hey! That's a great idea!" Shen Huan clapped her hands. "I just broke up with my boyfriend and I need family affection to fill the void. Great idea!"
So you agree?
"Of course I agree. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. She would be happy to see her family."
On the day of reunion... Yes, she was only concerned with helping others reunite, while her own family still had someone away.
Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to Hung Hing. Don't tell Qin Meng, give her a surprise later."
"Okay! Don't worry, I definitely won't tell."
"What about you? Do you need to rest? I'll give you a break and arrange for someone to cover your work. You can come back after you've rested."
Jiang Wanqing wouldn't show favoritism, and naturally treated Shen Huan the same way, but the other party waved his hand.
"I don't need to. I don't miss home yet. I'll tell you when I do. Besides, my house is closer to Qin Meng's, so it'll be convenient for me to go back. Let's talk about it after I'm done with this busy period."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, making money is great, hahaha..."
Jiang Wanqing stayed at the factory for a while, helped Shen Huan solve some problems, and then returned to the main factory.
She never interfered with the recruitment of workers at the branch factory, so she didn't say much. She just told everyone to let her know if they needed her.
She was working in the office when her mind slowly began to drift off.
She wondered how long it would take for the letter she sent this morning to reach Cheng Ran, and how long it would take to receive his reply. It was such a long process. If only it were the 21st century, with advanced electronic communication, contacting each other would be easy, as long as there was time, and they could have a long phone conversation. Sigh.
She looked slightly melancholy, which Hung Hing noticed when he came in to report on his work. He gave her a sarcastic remark before leaving.
"Sister-in-law, if I may be so bold as to guess, you miss Brother Cheng, right? Hehe, he's been gone for more than half a month. If you miss him, you can go and see him. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, so take Nannan over and the three of you can celebrate the festival together. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
To be honest, Hung Hing's words did give her a heads-up. There were still several days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she took the train, she could arrive in the Southwest just in time for the holiday.
She raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtful...
"Sister-in-law, take your time thinking about it. I won't bother you anymore. Just call me if you need anything. I'm going to take care of Qin Meng's matter."
Seeing that his words had an effect, he didn't linger and quickly left, giving Jiang Wanqing space and time.
She closed the door and rubbed her forehead. But... she would ask her daughter's opinion when she got back today. If her daughter wanted to see her father, a long trip wouldn't be out of the question.
Thinking this way, she felt much more at ease. Her worries and speculations would be verified and resolved, and she wouldn't have to think or guess wildly anymore.
Thanks to Hung Hing's suggestion, Jiang Wanqing went back that day and told her parents and daughter about it, gaining their support. She immediately started arranging to buy tickets and ask her daughter for leave...
