When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, Han Qiushi and the others were still moving things and cleaning, making the layout the same as before, and dividing the different procedures into separate areas.
Seeing everyone working so hard with such enthusiasm, Lin Xiaoxiao felt quite uneasy.
"Clap clap clap." Lin Xiaoxiao came in and clapped her hands: "Everyone, stop what you're doing. I brought a lot of things over. Come over and take them and distribute them. Take a break."
Seeing everyone's immediate refusal, Lin Xiaoxiao directly called out, "Wu Shan, you're in charge of distributing the things in the car."
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she handed a can of food to Han Qiushi. Han Qiushi hadn't slept all night and went to a meeting early in the morning to handle matters. After the meeting, he ate a few bites and came here to help.
After a day and night of hard work, Han Qiushi had grown stubble and his eyes were dark and swollen. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel sorry for her man: "You need to rest too. Eat this canned pear; it'll help cool you down."
When Han Qiushi saw the worry in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, he finally smiled a little: "Okay, let's eat together."
The two found an open space and sat down on the ground.
Han Qiushi opened the can of pears with his hands and first put a piece of pear on Lin Xiaoxiao's plate. After Lin Xiaoxiao said she didn't want any more, he finished the rest of the can.
"Are things going well at the textile factory and the department store?" Han Qiushi asked Lin Xiaoxiao while eating.
"We still need to wait for notification from the textile factory. Someone has placed a large order with them, and we need to coordinate before we can get the goods we need."
"Department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are both quite easy to talk to."
Han Qiushi paused in his soup-drinking motion, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Should I have someone go and put in a word with the textile factory?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "No need. Almost everyone in the textile factory knows that our fabric is for the military. Even if we make arrangements, the result will probably be the same."
"Let's not talk about my situation. If we really can't find cloth in the capital, then I'll ask Tianjin. I don't believe their reach can extend that far."
"Let's not talk about me anymore, what about you?" Lin Xiaoxiao was holding her breath, no matter what she said or did, she just wanted to know who started the fire.
Upon hearing this, Han Qiushi put down the glass jar in his hand, looked around, and whispered to Lin Xiaoxiao, "The division commander is also very angry. He was furious during the meeting this morning."
"This scolding did have an effect; not long after, a report appeared on the division commander's desk."
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did the materials say?!"
Han Qiushi made no secret from Lin Xiaoxiao: "The material was an anonymous whistleblower letter. The gist of it was that some people in the military were abusing their power and had ulterior motives. It would be one thing if they were just causing a little trouble, but they were having deals with others outside."
Lin Xiaoxiao asked anxiously, "So, this deal is about the arson that happened yesterday? Does it mention who did it?"
Han Qiushi sighed softly and shook his head: "No, it didn't name names directly, but at least it targeted the military."
“We investigated the button you found; it wasn’t lost by anyone in the team.”
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Are they from another unit? Or on leave?"
Han Qiushi nodded: "Yes, that's my guess."
"This matter is still under investigation, and we should be able to find out who did it soon."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. She had never doubted the efficiency of the military, especially the military in Beijing, so she felt at ease to do other things.
The two exchanged a lot of useful information while sitting there. Knowing that Lin Xiaoxiao was going to the textile factory the next day, Han Qiushi said that Han Qiulin should do the job, as he didn't want his wife to be so tired.
Han Qiulin is not young anymore, so this is a good opportunity for him to gain experience. After all, the officialdom is not an easy path; a slight misstep can lead to disaster.
Lin Xiaoxiao said that she wouldn't mind taking half a day to rest, and that she could get a good night's sleep once she got on the train.
Han Qiushi couldn't argue with her, so she could only tell Han Qiulin to take the lead in doing the work so that his sister-in-law wouldn't get tired.
Hearing his older brother's words, Han Qiulin gave him a resentful look: "It's like I've been eating for free these past two days."
"I'm like a cabbage in the field now, nobody in my family loves me." Han Qiulin's lament wasn't without reason. Her parents had a good relationship, and they would care for each other if either of them was tired.
Needless to say, the brother and sister-in-law have a very close relationship. They can't wait to be together whenever they have free time, and these past two days they've been worried about each other even more than their parents.
Now he's all alone at home, and no one says anything to show concern. In their eyes, he's just a gofer, someone to be moved wherever needed.
He just doesn't have a partner, right? He hasn't broken any laws. He said he really felt wronged.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi couldn't help but laugh when they saw Han Qiulin's condition. "Qiulin, you should go back first. You haven't had a proper rest in a long time."
"Go home and let Mom cook you something delicious." After laughing, Lin Xiaoxiao comforted her aggrieved brother-in-law.
"He's not that precious. When I was his age, I trained much harder every day, and I could do it. Why can't you?!"
"Your mom and sister-in-law always spoil you, so what's wrong with doing some chores now?" Han Qiushi showed no concern for his younger brother whatsoever.
At this age, he still doesn't have a good sense of resilience. What kind of future can Han Qiulin achieve?
Han Qiulin wasn't afraid of his older brother at all, and immediately retorted, "I do want to join the army, but you guys are the ones who disagreed..."
Seeing that Han Qiushi was about to take the opportunity to give Han Qiulin a good talk about life, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly tugged at Han Qiushi's sleeve: "Alright, Qiulin is not wrong. Although he is complaining, he has not missed a single thing."
"Aren't you being too harsh by not even allowing people to utter a single complaint?"
Han Qiushi thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true. He had been emotionally unstable these past two days and couldn't help but lose his temper with people. After realizing his condition, his expression improved. "I misunderstood you, but I still need to take care of my sister-in-law."
"At that time, I'll allow you to choose a gift."
After calming Han Qiulin down, everyone finished eating and continued working. When it was time for Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiulin to eat, Han Qiushi sent them home.
There's always work to be done here, and if I don't get proper rest, my health will really break down.
