Chapter 65: Holiday Yan Jiuru is not a newbie anymore. If he had known that they...
Chapter 65
Yan Jiuru never expected to expose herself in this way.
Taoist Tan looked at him with a complicated expression, which included envy, confusion, inquiry, and a little bit of fear.
Taoist Priest Tan didn't try to hide his feelings. Instead, he spoke directly to Director Wu, saying, "Why is this talent in your 107? Shouldn't he belong to us, XXX?"
Facing Master Tan's questioning, Director Wu said sternly, "He's different from you. Besides, we're all contributing to the country. What does it matter where we are?"
No one can steal the person he has snatched away!
"Alright, alright, go back to your business. The fox is waiting."
After finally seeing off Taoist Master Tan, the onlookers dispersed on their own.
After all, those who can enter Institute 107 have been strictly selected. It’s okay to just watch the excitement, but they have to do their job without any hesitation.
Soon, someone climbed up to the roof to check the tiles that were damaged by lightning and foxes. What needed to be repaired was repaired and what needed to be fixed was fixed. Director Wu didn't have to worry about it.
***
In office 502.
After Director Wu asked Yan Jiuru, he walked around the room, especially getting closer to look carefully at the talismans he had drawn.
"Is this the Five Thunderbolt Talisman?" He said it, but he didn't dare get too close. Although he prided himself on being righteous, who knew if this thing would be effective?
"The Purple Thunder Evil-Repelling Talisman is commonly known as the Five Thunder Evil-Repelling Talisman." Yan Jiuru corrected helplessly.
Although the meaning is included, it is not complete.
Director Wu then asked him how many types of talismans he could currently draw, and then unceremoniously took away a few purple thunder evil-repelling talismans and Qi-gathering talismans.
But the leader was very broad-minded. Before he left, he promised to find him some higher-grade talisman paper or something.
Yan Jiuru felt relieved. At least he liked leaders like Director Wu: they were caring and supportive of their subordinates, and respectful and tolerant of professional matters they didn't understand.
Lord Demon Lord was once at the top level of the interface, and it must be said that his qualities as a director have surpassed many people in higher positions.
***
In the following days, he went to classes in the morning and trained in the afternoon as usual, working hard to improve himself both in terms of knowledge and physical fitness.
When he came back at noon that day, Director Wu informed him that he would be given a day off.
Yan Jiuru is not a newcomer. If he had known that people like them would have other arrangements once they had a holiday.
As expected, Director Wu said, "Go home and prepare. I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow."
With him.
Yan Jiuru understood that his application must have been approved.
Ever since Professor Qian suggested that he visit the mine for on-site study, he mentioned it to the institute, and Director Wu later asked him to write a written application.
"How long do you think it will take?"
Director Wu said, "At least a week, at most ten days or half a month."
"We don't need to bring much luggage. This time we'll take a helicopter and take in the beautiful scenery of our motherland."
Yan Jiuru nodded and said, let’s look for resources at the same time.
***
On the way home by bike, Yan Jiuru realized that the spring breeze had unknowingly turned Yancheng green.
The trees along the street seemed to be just green a few days ago, but now they have already sprouted leaves and some of them have even bloomed clusters of tender yellow or pink and white flowers.
Because of his daily training, he had already changed out of his heavy cotton coat and put on a woolen sweater underneath. At this moment, he was riding a bicycle with steam coming out of his head.
The weather now is a bit cold in the morning and evening, with the temperature being a few degrees above zero. It will be at least 15 or 16 degrees at noon.
If this were my hometown in northern province, with this temperature, people would already be busy packing up farm tools, burning weeds, and harrowing the fields in preparation for spring plowing. . . . .
Yan Jiuru smiled and shook his head. This was really true. Even though he had already come out, he was still thinking about farming.
Looking up, Yan Jiuru saw a grocery store on the side of the road. Thinking that the salary and coupons he received at the end of last month were still with him, he went in to take a look. When he came out, he was holding a basket of eggs, a bag of peach cakes, and two bags of preserved fruits, which were a specialty of Yancheng.
***
"Hey, Jiuru is back?"
"Hey, Mr. Zhang," Yan Jiuru greeted with a smile, "Aren't your hands cold?"
Uncle Zhang and a few old men were playing chess in front of a big tree at the intersection.
"Well, we have thick skin and flesh, so we won't get cold. You haven't been home for a long time, have you? Everyone at home misses you."
"Yeah, then I'll go home first, you guys go play."
***
It was quiet in my yard.
"Grandpa, grandma--" Yan Jiuru called out.
It was the little girl Ruyue who ran out after hearing the sound: "Brother, you're back!"
Ruyue jumped over to take the things from her brother's hand.
Yan Jiuru didn't dare let her take the eggs, so she handed her the peach preserves and asked, "Where are the others at home?"
He looked at the little girl again, "Don't you go to school?"
Ruyue giggled as she held the delicious food in her arms, "Dad and the others are clearing the weeds in the back, preparing to burn them so they can plant vegetables. We have agricultural and industrial classes in elementary school this afternoon, and those in the third grade and below are assigned to the printing factory. After visiting the printing factory, we can go home early."
Students nowadays basically don’t have much homework, and the little homework left after class is already finished at school.
Yan Jiuru brought the eggs to the kitchen, and Ruyue happily followed her elder brother around.
"Where's your third brother? Isn't he in the same school as you?"
Ruyue pouted, "It's a school. Their senior students are going to the suburbs to learn agriculture today."
"My second brother went to the bookstore with his classmates."
"Isn't your sister-in-law coming back from get off work at noon? Is Zhuangzhuang going to the nursery?" Yan Jiuru opened the cupboard and took a look out of habit. He was not at home, and his family probably didn't want to eat good food.
Sure enough, there were only five or six eggs left, probably left for Zhuangzhuang.
"Sister-in-law eats in the cafeteria at noon. Sometimes she buys delicious food and brings it back for everyone to eat together. Ah! Big brother, you don't know, Zhuangzhuang can call people!"
Yan Jiuru paused and said with a smile, "It's almost your birthday, so you're calling people. What's so strange about that?"
Then he asked, "What are you going to shout?"
Ruyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "He can call mom, grandpa, and grandma, but he can't call aunt. He always says 'dudu'."
He is a little bit stupid, he doesn't even know how to call dad.
"Oh, my sister-in-law also taught him to call dad, but he always calls me 'baba', hahaha~"
Ruyue said this while laughing so hard that she doubled over.
Yan Jiuru also arched his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth: "Little fool!"
***
The brother and sister walked through the hallway to the backyard. Ruyue carefully hid the snacks in her hand in the chest of drawers in the hallway.
Yan Jiuru glanced at it and said, "No need to keep it here. I bought it for you to eat. Wait for your parents and grandparents to come back and eat it together. If you keep it here for too long, it won't be crispy anymore."
Ruyue sighed like an adult, "Brother, you don't understand, why do we always have neighbors like this?
When I was in the brigade, there were those shrewd people like the Zhang family. Now that we're in Yancheng, the capital, how can we still have neighbors like that?"
"What's going on?" He hasn't been home for just a month. What happened?
Ruyue started to complain, and by the time they reached the back garden, Yan Jiuru had already figured out almost everything that had happened at home during this period.
***
Generally speaking, there are always a few neighbors who are greedy for cheap things wherever you go.
It's because they know that the young couple from the Yan family both work in government agencies, earn a lot of money and have good benefits, so they like to come visit when they have nothing to do.
When adults come, they are served a glass of water. When children come with them, they are always given two pieces of candy or some snacks.
As a result, after a while, some people started to come to their house for no reason.
Later, his grandmother simply served the guests with a handful of dried sweet potatoes that had been dried in the autumn.
Who would have thought that these people would fall in love with this!
People privately say that dried sweet potatoes are sweet, chewy, and filling, so they can save a meal when they get home.
Now, they come to visit in groups of three or four every few days, and they refuse to leave unless we give them something to treat them.
Later, it was grandma who said that there were not many left and she was saving them for her eldest grandson, so fewer people came.
"Just wait and see. When you come back, there will definitely be people coming to join in the fun. If I don't hide, then when they give two pieces to this person and one piece to that person, I won't be able to get any myself."
The elders in the family will handle this kind of thing, so Yan Jiuru won't say anything.
However, he took out two cents from his pocket and gave it to Ruyue, "Use it to buy some snacks."
Ruyue's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wow, brother, is this for me?"
Naughty and exaggerated!
Yan Jiuru flipped his head and said, "Your second and third brothers will probably be back soon. Let them know that you eat alone..."
Before she could finish her words, Ruyue had already jumped out.
***
When the eldest grandson/eldest son came home, several old people stopped working and rushed home to prepare delicious food for him.
It seemed as if he had suffered a lot outside.
Even though he repeatedly emphasized that the food in the company was very good and unlimited, the elders still took it upon themselves to ask you to buy meat while they went to pickle dried vegetables.
Yan Jiuru had no choice but to stay with them and talk to them. When he saw that it was almost time, he called home and rode his bike to pick up his wife and son from get off work.
***
This was the first time Yan Jiuru went to Chen Yin's workplace to pick her up since she started working.
He looked in the mirror before going out.
Maybe it's because of the training over the past month, the guy in the mirror looks much more energetic and handsome. He wears a military uniform with four pockets, military boots, and a military cap... Then he puts on the woolen military coat he got from the logistics department.
The handsome young man braked to a stop in front of the municipal party committee office building, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and it was exactly 5:30 in the afternoon.
"I guess I won't get off work on time..." Yan Jiuru stared at the door.
He and Chen Yin had been to this place before, but now it was a private matter, so he couldn't go in shamelessly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, people came out of the bicycle shed one after another. People who passed by couldn't help but look at him more, but he didn't meet anyone he knew.
After another five or six minutes, Yan Jiuru's eyes lit up and he straightened his back: he saw his wife!
"Chen Yin!" He couldn't help but shout.
Chen Yin was walking towards the carport and talking with Jiang Hongyu when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her. She turned around and said in surprise, "Brother Jiuru!"
Chen Yin's face suddenly blossomed like a spring flower. She waved to Yan Jiuru and explained to her colleague sheepishly, "Sister Hongyu, why don't you go first? My husband is here to pick me up..."
"Oh, that's perfect! I haven't met your wife yet. Let's go get the car first."
Chen Yin gestured to Yan Jiuru, and when she saw him nod, she quickly sped up.
After the two of them pushed the cart out, Jiang Hongyu looked at Yan Jiuru without hesitation, and then praised: "I knew it, whoever can match a beautiful woman like our Yin Yin must be a handsome man!"
She giggled twice, then held out her hand to Yan Jiuru in a serious tone, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Hongyu, I'm a few years older than you, and I work in the same office with Chen Yin."
Yan Jiuru also looked at the other person. She was a cheerful and generous northern girl.
He shook her hand lightly and said politely, "I heard from my wife a long time ago that she just arrived and had to learn everything on the spot. It's thanks to your help that she has made such rapid progress."
He took out two chocolates from his coat pocket and handed them to Chen Yin, "You two eat together."
Chen Yin took it with a smile and stuffed a piece of Jiang Hongyu into it, "Sister Hongyu, try it."
Jiang Hongyu was a capable secretary and naturally understood the situation. She took it with a smile and said, "Then I won't be polite. This is a special supply from the Yi Store. We may not be able to buy it even if we have foreign exchange coupons."
"Okay, I won't waste your time. See you later~"
***
"Why are you here today?" Chen Yin's heart was so happy that she couldn't help but ask.
The two of them pushed the stroller to the nursery so they could talk on the way.
Yan Jiuru turned his gaze towards his wife and said, "I have a business trip the day after tomorrow, and the director gave me a day off. This way I can come back early and be closer to my wife."
Chen Yin snorted, "I knew that your brief return was destined for a longer absence."
Yan Jiuru laughed: "Isn't this the other way around? I remember it saying that a short absence is for a longer return."
"Anyway, this is what I said here." Chen Yin felt sour and uncomfortable when she thought that the person would leave again the day after tomorrow.
In the past, she always heard people say that being a military family member was an honor, but when she really became a military family member, especially a military wife, she was not happy at all.
"Alas, I regret having asked my husband to seek a title!"
Yan Jiuru chuckled.
He reached out and rubbed his wife's hair, leaned close to her, and whispered a few words, earning a punch from Chen Yin and a "humph".
***
The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the agency's nursery.
Chen Yin parked her bicycle.
There are already parents who arrived earlier picking up their children at the nursery.
She greeted the two teachers who were meeting outside, "Teacher Wang, Teacher Sun!"
Teacher Wang was a woman in her thirties or forties, with a short haircut, a blue-gray dress, black cloth shoes, and arm sleeves. She looked very hardworking.
Teacher Sun was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She was wearing the most popular modified military uniform. The waistline of the jacket was obviously more slim-fitting, and the pants were not too baggy, but more stylish. With her eyes slightly tilted upwards, she looked even more charming.
"Hello, Comrade Chen, come and pick up Nao Nao." Teacher Wang glanced at Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin and nodded. "Nao Nao had his diapers changed three times this afternoon. You can take them back later."
Seeing that the other two teachers were busy, she went into the house to pack up the child's things.
Teacher Sun's gaze lingered on Yan Jiuru for a moment longer. Chen Yin called out to her again, and she finally reacted. She asked eagerly, "Oh, are you here to pick up the child? Who is this?"
Chen Yin had seen many people like this when she was in the brigade. She sneered in her heart, but replied, "This is Nao Nao's father. If he is free today, come and pick up the child.
I told him I didn't need him, but he insisted on coming along, which was really annoying... "
Yan Jiuru looked up at the sky. Even his wife had learned to use double entendres. It was obvious that this job was really a training job.
"Is it Yan Heming's father? I knew it, the person who could come up with such a resounding name must be extraordinary, and it turns out to be true."
Teacher Sun's admiration was beyond words, and his whole body was radiating a different kind of brilliance than before.
However, the handsome guy was blind and didn't respond at all.
***
Yan Jiuru's eyes were fixed on the door of the nursery. Seeing Teacher Wang coming out with a bag in one hand and her son in the other, she hurried to meet him.
He shook his head and said, "Zhuangzhuang, do you still remember Daddy?"
The child looked curiously at the person holding him. He didn't resist because he wasn't unfamiliar with him. Especially the few times he was being bounced seemed a little familiar. He looked at the handsome face carefully again and suddenly called out clearly, "Dad!"
"Ouch!" This childish cry cost the Demon Lord his life!
His consciousness had been alive for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, and being called "Sir", "Venerable", or even "Demon Lord" did not move him.
He could even feel the moisture in his eyes.
He kissed his son twice, then couldn't help laughing and threw the child up, "Son, scream again!"
He was tall to begin with, and with that throw, the child flew into the air.
The child was also very brave and kept giggling and dancing.
Although Mr. Wang is knowledgeable, he was nervous and ready to respond at any time.
Chen Yin shook her head, left the fangirl behind, and quickly came over to stop them, saying, "You two, stop playing around and go home."
***
My wife's words are still effective.
Yan Jiuru tucked his son, who hadn't had enough fun, into his coat and said with a smile, "Son, can I carry you home today?"
Zhuangzhuang opened up his chatterbox after calling out "Dad" and spoke more fluently than usual. He nodded seriously and said, "Okay~"
Even Teacher Wang was surprised.
"It seems that fathers are the best at teaching boys."
Although the teaching method seemed a bit rough to them, the effect was good.
But think about it, boys will be rough men when they grow up, and they are all routine in their bones.
Chen Yin found a sling and held her son against his father's arms, fastening it behind his back. The father and son were then wrapped in thick wool coats. Zhuangzhuang was completely covered in his father's warm and solid chest, feeling extremely safe and excited.
He couldn't help but move around a few times and shouted, "Dad, play!"
His father was in a good mood and lowered his head and said, "It's cold outside, let's go home and play as much as we want."
As he was talking, he suddenly thought of something and said to Chen Yin, "I'll be at home tomorrow. You don't have to bring Zhuangzhuang here. I can take care of him for a day, right?"
It’s certainly good to have a dad take care of the kids.
Chen Yin turned around and asked Teacher Wang to ask for a day off for Zhuangzhuang, but Teacher Sun looked regretful and reluctant.
Chen Yin didn't even bother to look at her. The family chatted and laughed as they rode away on their bikes.
***
Teacher Sun stared at the backs of the family of three in a daze.
"Teacher Sun, come back to your senses." Someone greeted her jokingly.
Teacher Sun suddenly realized that several parents had been waiting here without her noticing, and no one had urged her just now.
"snort!"
Teacher Sun was no ordinary person. Her already slightly raised eyes raised even more, and her face was stern: "Who to pick up? Sign up!"
He is completely different from his previous enthusiasm!
