In two days, Qian Xiao slept for less than five hours. She has a problem: if she doesn't do something well, she can't even fall asleep.
When Shuangdan finally said that she had passed, Qian Xiao was so happy that she almost jumped for joy. This was the most difficult and meticulous thing she had ever done since she started doing this.
"Oh my god, I'm exhausted. I always said I couldn't do that kind of work that requires working day and night, like being a scientist or something. I don't have the brains or the perseverance to stick to it."
She suddenly stood up, felt a darkness before her eyes and saw stars, and quickly grabbed the table in front of her for support.
Double Egg was extremely anxious. Whenever it encountered such an emergency, it wished it had a physical form: "Sit down and get up slowly. You haven't had a proper sleep in days. How can you not be confused by all this moving around?"
It took Qian Xiao a long time to recover: "My god, this is the first time I've ever experienced the feeling of everything going black and seeing stars. And those stars really were golden!"
Double eggs...you're really something.
Qian Xiao rubbed his stomach: "I reckon it's a chain reaction caused by being tired and hungry. Otherwise, with a body as strong as mine, how could I see the stars as soon as I stood up?"
She ate three meals a day on time, but she was still hungry at night because she didn't sleep. When she got busy, she even forgot to have something to eat.
"What time is it now?" Qian Xiao looked outside and it seemed like it was just getting light.
"It's only a little past four o'clock, it'll be quite a while before it gets light. Do you want to eat something and get some sleep?"
"Okay, everyone's asleep right now, I can't go to the workshop alone, people might think I'm up to something bad."
"I think Sun Kaicheng made some noodle soup last time. I feel so comfortable eating a bowl of noodle soup with the broth."
"Yes, it's in the kitchen. Do you want to take it out to eat or come in to eat it?"
Qian Xiao glanced at the securely locked door: "I'll go inside to eat. It wouldn't be good if the smell got too strong and other people noticed."
Qian Xiao scooped a large spoonful of chili oil into the noodles, slurped it down, and even burped. Both of them had big appetites, and the bowls used to serve the noodles were as big as basins. One bowl of noodles was enough to fill Qian Xiao up.
I didn't go out. I just lay down on the soft bed in the room and fell asleep. Shower? What's the point of showering? I'm too sleepy. I'll do it when I wake up.
Qian Xiao was sleeping soundly and didn't even notice when Sun Kaicheng came in to check on her. Sun Kaicheng didn't disturb Qian Xiao's sleep, pulled the blanket up for her, kissed her forehead, and then left the space.
Shuangdan has been broadcasting everything over the past few days. Knowing she's exhausted and missing her terribly, I haven't invited her in for a meeting. This person says she's lazy and useless, but when it comes to work, she's more hardworking and dedicated than anyone else.
Just like the novels that Erdan often reads, who says that someone who travels from the future must become a powerful female protagonist, causing chaos and being incredibly awesome? The right way is to be like Erdan, who is proficient in whatever he does.
Perhaps because something was on her mind, Qian Xiao woke up after only a short while. She glanced at her watch on the bedside table and saw that it was already seven o'clock. Everyone should be at work by now.
She quickly got up and washed herself to look more presentable, but the bloodshot eyes were quite noticeable. She had become much paler from not working in the sun for the past two years, and her dark circles were very prominent. It was clear that she hadn't had a proper rest.
When I opened the door, I couldn't help but yawn. Tears welled up in my eyes, threatening to fall, making me look even more disheveled.
Master Wu was heartbroken to see this: "Why are you in such a hurry? Go back and get some more sleep, then we'll talk about other things." How can this kid work like his life depends on it?
"Huh? I'm fine, it was just tears from yawning. Now that I'm better, shall we go straight to the workshop?"
"No rush, go have breakfast first. You haven't had a proper meal in the past two days. Eat something to warm your stomach. You can't work like this. You're still young and have plenty of time. You need to take care of your health."
"Health is the foundation of everything. How can you contribute to the country without good health?" Master Wu kept nagging, just like an old father.
Master Sun happened to open the door and heard this: "That's right, this kid is too reckless. Is this something urgent? You can't joke around with your own health. I'll have a talk with Xiao Sun when we get back. He has to take good care of you."
Although Comrade Sun's work may seem more important than Xiao Qian's, in the eyes of these old guys, Xiao Qian is still more important.
"Hehe, I'll definitely pay attention next time. I'm the kind of person who's always in a hurry to finish my work as soon as I start. Let's go and have some food. I want to go home as soon as possible. Can we rest for two days when we get back this time?"
Master Wu chuckled, "I'll make sure you can go home and rest for two days." They've done a great job on this mission, so they can definitely manage to get you a two-day holiday.
"I'll sleep for two days straight when I get back. I feel like I could fall asleep standing up right now."
I don't know how Director Shang is so well-informed. The three of us had just arrived at the small canteen when Director Shang rushed over.
When they saw Qian Xiao's current appearance, they were shocked: "This little Qian has worked too hard. Old Lu will cook two hearty dishes for lunch." Old Lu is the head chef of the small canteen and his cooking skills are quite good.
Master Lu, with his round face, stuck his head out and said, "Alright, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Master Lu smiled broadly: "Little Qian, what would you like to eat?"
Qian Xiao's eyes lit up: "We can order food too?" This treatment is unparalleled.
“If others can’t do it, you definitely can. Just tell me, as long as you can name it, I can make it for you.” He was quite confident in his skills.
"I want to eat stir-fried liver tips and sweet and sour pork," she said. She hadn't eaten at a state-run restaurant in a while and now she was craving those dishes.
"Alright, I'll make it for you at noon." Even with just two dishes, Little Qian was being conservative; he'd better make sure to pick out a few more good ones.
"Thank you, Master Lu."
Master Lu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What are you thanking me for? Isn't this what I should do? You've done a great service for our factory."
He knew about the new machines in the factory, even if others didn't. After all, he was the one who received the factory leaders, and he could guess the gist of it just by listening to them talk. This young man was now their factory's savior.
Qian Xiao happily ate a big meat bun, which was almost as big as her face. It was so juicy and delicious that she gave Master Lu a thumbs up.
"This is the skill you possess."
This is the kind of thing a chef loves to hear most; his small eyes instantly crinkled into slits with laughter: "If you like it, eat more."
