Yu Rujia: "Didn't you guys eat a lot of mushroom sauce these past few days? Haven't you had enough yet?"
Gao Guojing has been making snail sauce, frog sauce, and mushroom sauce these days, and his family has eaten quite a lot of them.
Duoxi's eyes followed the basin, and with a grin, she said in a childish voice, "It's delicious, Auntie, I want to eat it."
Duolu crowded around and loudly replied, "That's right, Auntie! The mushroom sauce is delicious; we can never get enough of it!"
Yu Rujia: "No matter how much you like to eat, you can't have these. Uncle Guojing is taking them back to Jiangcheng. We can't let you eat them."
Duolu's big eyes widened in shock: "Is Uncle Guojing leaving again?"
Yu Rujia: "Yes, Uncle Guojing is going back to school in a few days."
Duolu pressed on, "Auntie, will Uncle Guojing come back?"
Yu Rujia: "Come on, he'll come back when he's on vacation. We have so much delicious food here, and we have the adorable Duolu. Uncle Guojing will come over whenever he has time."
Upon hearing this, Duolu stopped insisting on eating the mushroom sauce and even stopped Duoxi from trying to peel off the mushroom sauce.
Duolu said in a serious tone, "Duoxi, let's leave these mushroom sauces for Uncle Guojing. If you eat them, Uncle Guojing won't have anything to eat, and he'll start eating random things. Then Uncle Guojing will cry again."
The trouble of not having good food in Jiangcheng has indeed passed, but the trouble of Gao Guojing eating random things is not yet over.
The impression Gao Guojing left on Duolu when he left last time was too deep; he was crying bitterly while holding the little ones, and passersby could hear it.
Duo Xi blinked her big eyes and tried to drool: "Uncle Guo Jing, don't cry, I won't eat."
Yu Rujia: "Go to Uncle Guojing's place and learn to wash clothes from him. After he leaves, you'll have to wash your own clothes."
Duolu didn't care about the clothes; he just wanted to stay there. The mushroom sauce was constantly tempting him, and Duoxi, although he said he wouldn't eat it, was still staring longingly at the bowl.
In order to prevent Gao Guojing's food rations from being eaten, Duolu steeled his heart and pulled Duoxi away: "Come on, let's go to Uncle Guojing's place to wash clothes."
When the two children returned, the clothes were almost washed. Duolu reached out his little hand, picked up a piece of clothing, and started scrubbing it in a very serious manner. However, after only a few scrubbings, the little guy started causing trouble again.
Duolu: "Uncle Guojing, we didn't eat the mushroom sauce, don't cry."
Duo Xi would say whatever his second brother said, "Yes, don't cry."
Gao Guojing was completely bewildered. What had he done to make the two little ones think that he would cry if they ate a little mushroom sauce?
Kao Kuo-ching: "Who told you I was going to cry?"
Duolu presented the facts and reasoned with them: "Your aunt told us that you will be going back to school in a few days. Last time you went back, you cried a lot because there was no good food."
Gao Guojing recalled his embarrassing moment when he went back last time. He had cried because he was worried that the food in Jiangcheng wouldn't be as plentiful as here, and he was reluctant to leave the delicious food here. He never expected that this little brat Duolu would still remember it.
It's true that eating in Jiangcheng isn't that convenient, mainly because Xia Taishun and Gao Xiujuan are busy with work and often make him eat at the canteen. How can the food from the big pot compare to the fine stir-fry?
Even if he were willing to cook for himself, Xia Taishun gave him a limited amount of money and he had no way to make money. Even if he wanted to cook something delicious, he couldn't afford it, so the food he ate was far worse than what he had here.
With Yu Rujia's advice, he prepared a lot of snail sauce, frog sauce, and mushroom sauce, which are very flavorful. Even without other dishes, he could eat his fill just by mixing rice with these sauces.
Although it's still far inferior to what we have here, at least there's some good food. It's just a pity that he hasn't been able to eat the braised meat, hot pot, and barbecue he's been longing for even once in the month he's been here.
However, his nephews felt sorry for him, but Gao Guojing, with his youthful spirit, was not one to know when to stop.
Gao Guojing pretended to be sad and said, "If Uncle had more sauce to take back, he could eat it for longer and then Uncle wouldn't cry."
The children were too young to understand Gao Guojing's increasingly audacious demands, and they all said they wanted to bring back more things for him to take back with him.
At the textile factory, Gao Shujing finally finished her day's work, ate a late dinner, cleaned herself up, and lay down on the bed to rest.
In order to go home as soon as possible, he has been working until one or two o'clock every night these days. He only goes back to the dormitory when Director Zhao urges him. Fortunately, he is a martial artist, otherwise he really couldn't stand working like this every day.
Hard work pays off. After a few more days, he can go home. He won't be able to make it back to Jiangcheng on time, but it's worth it if Rujia can do less work.
Thinking this, Gao Shujing fell asleep, but after a short while, he was awakened by a rustling sound.
Gao Shujing suddenly realized that although the spies at the textile factory had been caught, it didn't mean that all the spies had been caught. The fact that the textile factory suffered such a huge loss meant that they must have been working together.
Someone came at midnight, clearly with ill intentions; he had to be careful.
Gao Shujing lay quietly on the bed, pretending to be fast asleep.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, the two people outside blew a puff of smoke in through the window.
Gao Shujing controlled her breathing to keep herself awake.
After waiting a few more minutes, seeing that there was still no movement inside, the people outside pried open Gao Shujing's door.
Just as the newcomer reached out to test whether Gao Shujing was truly asleep, the person on the bed swiftly attacked them.
"He's not asleep."
The newcomer only had time to utter one sentence before Gao Shujing knocked him unconscious.
When the light was turned on, one of the two men was none other than Chen Qingguo, who had been hovering around Gao Shujing these past few days.
After finding a rope and tying the two of them up tightly, Gao Shujing went out to find the security department of the textile factory.
Yu Rujia knew nothing about what had happened to Gao Shujing. After having breakfast, she took the mushrooms and mushroom sauce she had left over from yesterday to the supply and marketing cooperative and handed them over to Guo Xiaojie.
I'll also deliver some sauce to Gao Shujing. He's been busy in town for a couple of weeks, and I wonder how he's doing.
Upon arriving at the textile factory, the security personnel, upon learning that Yu Rujia was Gao Shujing's lover, quickly invited her inside to sit down.
Gao Shujing is a big shot in their factory. Both production lines in the workshop rely on his expertise. He even caught two spies yesterday. He's someone the factory director values, so of course they have to treat him with the utmost care.
One of the staff members said, "I didn't expect that Officer Gao was so young and already married. We're all getting on in years and still single. It's really infuriating to compare ourselves to others."
Another clerk said, "If you were as capable as Officer Gao, both in literature and martial arts, and even prettier than a woman, all the female workers in our factory would definitely be chasing after you."
