Chapter 76: Chen Yin yelled "Duang" and put the cup...
Chapter 76: Fighting Her
The young couple reunited after a long separation and had a wonderful night.
The next day, Chen Yin woke up with a start when the alarm clock rang.
"Ouch——" Chen Yin groaned, holding her waist, cursing the man in her heart for being so rude, like a donkey with endless energy.
Thinking that she had to go to work soon, she lightly kicked the sleeping man twice and said, "Take me to work. I can't pedal anymore."
After making her suffer like this, you still want to sleep in?
Humph, don’t even think about it!
Yan Jiuru had exerted a lot of effort last night and was sleeping soundly. He was still drowsy when his wife kicked him awake.
"Isn't it a holiday?"
Chen Yin walked out slowly to wash her face and brush her teeth, then replied, "On National Day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a reception to entertain guests and dignitaries from all over the world, as well as foreign experts and envoys.
The mass parade originally planned to be held in the square was cancelled and replaced by performances by various units.
We have so much work to do in the municipal party committee that we don't even have time to take a vacation."
As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and turned around to whisper in Yan Jiuru's ear, "Don't be surprised by anything you hear these days."
She pointed upwards and whispered, "Maybe the weather is going to change."
Yan Jiuru’s sleepiness disappeared!
He thought about the trivial things he had heard, spit out the foam from his mouth, and whispered, "Don't worry, it will only get better."
***
After breakfast, Chen Yin looked at herself in the mirror.
After a night of rain and dew, her face was white and rosy, her eyebrows and eyes were like green mountains and beautiful waters, and her lips were like pink petals. How could she be so beautiful?
She opened the closet to look for clothes. "These past few days, our boss has several meetings every day, so we have to look sharp. We can't be shabby or listless."
These foreign secretaries must always be energetic and dressed neatly and beautifully, and they also represent the image of the country in front of foreign guests.
Yan Jiuru stared at her face and said, "Wife, you are absolutely radiant and bright now."
As he spoke, he glanced into the closet and frowned, "Why haven't you bought any new clothes in the past six months?"
After he went on a long business trip, he told his company that all his salary and allowances should be given to Chen Yin. After deducting the amount given to their families from their salary and allowances, they could save at least a few hundred yuan.
So the daughter-in-law doesn't have to save money to buy several new sets of clothes.
Chen Yin pouted and said, "You're not at home. Who am I going to dress up like this for? I don't know what people will say."
Chen Yin never leaves her complaints overnight, but she was too busy to pay attention last night.
"Who? Who is talking nonsense?" Yan Jiuru understood immediately.
The man is never at home, so a young and beautiful woman, even though she has her grandparents, parents-in-law and other family members around, is bound to be gossiped about.
Otherwise, he would try to bring some things back wherever he went to feel a sense of existence.
Why are some people so ignorant?
Chen Yin stopped talking when she saw her mother-in-law coming in with her son in her arms. She kissed her son twice and quickly changed into a beige half-high collar wool sweater.
The two of them bought this sweater at Ze County Department Store.
Just put on a dark grey jacket with a small lapel, matching trousers and leather shoes, and carefully drape the thick jacket over your arm, and you're almost there.
"I have to hurry up. I have to get to work half an hour earlier these days."
Yan Jiuru quickly tidied himself and dressed his son. "Son, do you want to go with Daddy to send Mom off to work?"
Because the Municipal Party Committee basically doesn't take holidays, everyone is working overtime, and the nursery is as anxious as everyone else, so it doesn't take holidays either.
Otherwise, if there is no one to look after the children, who can go to work with peace of mind?
Zhuangzhuang could actually be left in the care of the elderly at home, but this kid loves to go out and cannot be kept at home, so it would be better for him to go to the nursery and play with other children.
Although Zhuangzhuang no longer remembers his father, father and son are naturally connected by blood. As soon as his father called out, the little guy immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Yes!"
He doesn't understand much else, but he loves going out for a walk the most.
***
On the way, Chen Yin told Yan Jiuru about the strange people and things she encountered at work.
"...Didn't you bring me two Hangzhou silk scarves?
Once, when I was meeting foreign guests with my leader, I happened to be wearing one. She asked various people to buy it for me privately. The color and pattern had to be the same, and she thought I didn't know.
It’s the end of May now, and I finally bought it. I wear it regardless of whether it’s hot or not.”
"As a result, the boss saw us and asked, 'Did Xiao Chen catch a cold? If you feel uncomfortable, give him leave to see a doctor. Don't delay.'"
The two adults were laughing so hard that Zhuangzhuang also started giggling.
Anyway, his father and mother are smiling, so he should smile too.
"And then?"
"She was so embarrassed afterward that she never wore it again. But it looked like she felt bad for it, after all, she had to ask for help and use connections to buy it..."
"Actually, her skin is a bit dark, and that color doesn't suit her very well. It makes her look even darker."
"This is not good, no one reminded her?" Yan Jiuru raised the corner of his mouth and didn't care about gossiping with his wife at all.
Chen Yin smiled and said, "Of course not. Sister Jiang specifically told her that this color only looks good on people with fair skin."
"You don't know, she even said happily that our classmates all say I'm white, but actually I'm just a little white."
"Puff," Yan Jiuru burst out laughing, "Which classmate is this? Does he have a grudge against her?"
Chen Yin laughed once and said objectively, "What the other classmate said might be true. Think about it, most of the students at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University were recommended by people from below. They either worked in factories or went to the countryside to work in the fields. Who wouldn't have skin that's tanned and rough?"
Chen Lanlan stayed in the countryside for a year and then got a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and returned to the city to study. Compared with other students, she could really be described as "white", but it was also true that her base color was a bit darker and yellower.
Yan Jiuru glanced at his wife and said meaningfully: "You are all white..."
Chen Yin: ……
Staring at him, Chen Yin said unhappily, "I was born without the ability to get tanned. Compare with me..."
The family of three laughed all the way.
***
Chen Yin also told him that some people on the street like to gossip about their wives.
Sometimes she has the task of accompanying her leader to meet foreign guests or important guests, so she has to dress up. After the meeting, she has no time to change clothes and has to rush to pick up her children and take them home.
There are always many neighbors sitting at the intersection and on both sides of the street to enjoy the cool air. After seeing them a few times, some people start gossiping.
They said that she dressed up beautifully even when her husband was not at home, and that her parents-in-law were not afraid that their daughter-in-law would seduce others outside.
Yan Jiuru was furious and cursed, "Fuck his mother, I'll have a good 'talk' with their family later."
The word "talk" was pronounced very heavily, as if biting someone.
Chen Yin glanced at him lightly. "No need. Just know it. My parents and grandparents have already contacted the street office and the police station to warn those people. Now they only dare to speak behind our backs."
"You can't carry me on your back! Watch me!" Yan Jiuru shook his fist. Some people are itchy and need to be taught a lesson every once in a while, otherwise they won't learn their lesson.
"Well, you can't violate the rules."
"No, don't worry."
***
They had a happy night last night and were chatting and laughing all the way this morning. When they entered the office, Chen Yin still had a smile on her face.
"Hey, our secretary Chen is different today," the comrade who loves to joke teased exaggeratedly.
"What's the difference?"
Chen Yin smiled, put down her things, picked up the kettle, which was still empty, and said, "I'll go get some water first."
Although the default is for the clerk with the least experience to fetch water, we can't just sit there and wait if he doesn't come.
She is not afraid of this little bit of tiredness.
After fetching water, Chen Yin took out a tinplate box usually used to store tea from her bag, pinched a handful of ginseng flowers from it, and took out a box of wolfberries, putting a few in to soak in water.
Sister Jiang, who was sitting next to her, nudged her and asked, "Did your lover bring something back again?"
Chen Yin smiled and said, "No, he's back."
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder!"
"I was wondering why the sky became so clear as soon as Secretary Chen walked in." There were all kinds of teasing sounds in the office. Of course, most of them were just good-natured jokes.
"How long can we stay this time?" Everyone chatted while finishing the work at hand.
"I have a month's vacation. But if there's an urgent mission, it's hard to say."
"It's really not easy to be a military wife."
***
After being busy for a while, Chen Yin finally had time to drink some water.
As soon as the lid of the teacup was opened, a rich ginseng aroma came out.
Chen Lanlan frowned at the door and shouted, "What's that smell? It's weird. This isn't a one-person office. Can you please not eat such strong-tasting food? Do you think we're in your village?"
Chen Yin put the cup on the table with a 'Duang' sound and said coldly, "If you are ignorant, don't embarrass yourself by showing off! Keep it to yourself."
"What happened to our village? Why don't you come out and tell everyone about it during this reminiscence session? What did the villagers do to you when you were sent to work in the countryside?
Did I not lend you food, or did I not help you when you couldn't do the work? Or did I take away your place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Chen Lanlan opened her mouth but dared not say a word.
Because she was not stupid. No matter which of Chen Yin's words she answered, she would get into trouble. If she didn't answer, she would be scolded right in the face.
"Oh, the beauty is angry!" It was the first time everyone saw Chen Yin get angry. Wow, she was quite powerful.
Some people whispered to each other, "I always thought she was soft and had no temper."
Jiang Weihong sneered when he heard this.
Some people are just short-sighted and just follow others and talk nonsense without knowing anything.
They only saw Chen Yin following the old leader, wearing a tweed coat today and a Hangzhou silk scarf tomorrow, and they were envious and jealous, but they didn't know that Chen Yin also had a Type 54 rifle on her waist and a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in her car!
The organizers of the event deliberately left people out without notifying them, so they went to a special place to practice shooting.
Just the month before last, the martial arts team invited someone to teach her Kung Fu.
Jiang Weihong's husband is a soldier. After being discharged due to injury, he was assigned to the city's cultural center martial arts team. During the coaching recruitment process, she was indirectly questioned about the character and personal ethics of some of the candidates.
As a member of the external secretariat, she was well aware of what she could and could not gossip about. She also had to strictly adhere to confidentiality regulations.
Some idiots are just blatant jokes.
***
Seeing Chen Lanlan blushing but remaining silent, Chen Yin rolled her eyes in disdain. "Tsk!" She's already a coward?! How capable does she think she is?
No wonder Brother Jiuru said, doesn't our leader have a saying, 'One punch is enough to prevent a hundred blows'? We have to strike when we need to."
He also said, "What are you afraid of? This bully is on my instep. He doesn't bite, but he's annoying. I'll deal with him if I need to. I'll support you!"
In fact, anyone who can enter such a unit must have some support and family background.
Chen Lanlan's father is the director of a large state-owned factory in Yancheng, and her mother is a cadre of the Municipal Trade Union;
Wang Chunling's family worked in the Grain Bureau, and her father-in-law was a cadre in Dongcheng District;
Not to mention Sister Jiang, who lives in the city government's family compound;
Even the new secretary Zhou came from a military compound...
But so what?
Leaders don't need any background when hiring people, but they don't want anyone to stab them in the back.
It's just right that she is innocent like this.
