The two of them actually found two cookbooks in the study. The recipes were certainly not as good as those made by a proper master chef, but they were enough for the two of them.
...
Qian Xiao frowned as she looked at the red armbands swaying everywhere on the street. The madness on their faces was chilling. She never expected that this day would come.
The two people walked together but with a large distance between them. Now, they have to be extremely careful with every word and action they take, for fear that if they are not careful, someone will find fault with them and they will be paraded through the streets.
Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiao are both extremely low-key. In the past two years, they have rarely appeared in the public eye at work. Many people in the factory know that there are two such people, but they can't say for sure what they are.
Fortunately, the two had already gotten engaged two years ago, so their relationship wouldn't attract too much attention. Otherwise, if two people with no connection were to get together, it would be easy for people to find fault with them and spread rumors.
Qian Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when they were almost at the office. Every day on her way to work, Qian Xiao was on tenterhooks. Whenever they saw a house that had been ransacked, Sun Kaicheng would quickly lead Qian Xiao to hide far away, afraid that Qian Xiao might lose control and rush in to save the person.
Perhaps due to his upbringing, Qian Xiao still retains some of his rebellious spirit; when he can't stand something, he wants to step forward.
Sun Kaicheng patted Qian Xiao's head and said, "Don't think too much. We just need to do our job well."
"Yes, I understand. It will be much better if I don't look at it."
"Have you thought it through? Do you want to come and work with me?"
Qian Xiao has performed very well in the past few years, and has even been promoted one level. He is not busy with work every day and has learned a lot more. He has also developed an interest in learning more. He is much better than ordinary technicians, but still a bit behind researchers.
Sun Kaicheng wanted Qian Xiao to come with him. Qian Xiao was very smart, and with proper guidance, he could quickly get started with research. In fact, he felt that research was more suitable for Qian Xiao's imaginative mind.
Perhaps because Qian Xiao came from the future, he could often make many things that were difficult to understand suddenly clear with just a single sentence. Having such a partner when doing research is a very happy thing.
Qian Xiao shook his head: "I'm fine as I am. Skilled workers are still in short supply. The current machines are outdated and often break down. If everyone goes into research, what will happen to these machines?"
She's the one who handles the most difficult problems now. It's not that Master Wu can't solve them, but he can't be in two places at once, so he simply can't manage them all.
Qian Xiao feels that any job is a contribution. Her current job needs her a lot, so she has no intention of changing to a job that seems easier. Even if she can't do anything else, she still wants to do her best in whatever she can.
Sun Kaicheng didn't force the issue: "Okay, it's up to you. I won't be able to come out for a while this time. How about we get married after I come out?"
There's a new project, not too difficult, but it will take a bit more time. The two of them have been inseparable for the past few years, and he's a little reluctant to leave now that he has to go into seclusion for a few months.
This is one of the reasons why he wanted Qian Xiao to be transferred to a back office job, so that the two of them could still be together all day long like they are now. However, he wouldn't be selfish and only think of himself, so he suggested that Qian Xiao make the decision herself.
Qian rolled her eyes. After the New Year, this guy would urge her to get married every day: "No, what's the rush? We're still young."
It wasn't that she was being pretentious and didn't plan to get married, but she was still influenced by her memories from her later life. She felt that getting married at only eighteen was too early, and that they were still children.
"What do you mean 'little'? The current marriage law stipulates that men must be 20 and women 18 to reach the legal marriage age. We're not really a good match."
He glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before whispering in Qian Xiao's ear, "Don't you want to sleep with my abs on all day? How about I let you touch my whole body? It's much more comfortable than you sleeping with your blanket."
Qian Xiao's face turned red instantly. This guy is getting more and more shameless. He dares to say anything. She only occasionally drools over touching him, and that's nothing. Why does he keep bringing it up?
"Have you no shame?"
Sun Kaicheng wasn't embarrassed at all: "What's the point of having a face? If I had a face, would I have been able to get married so early?"
"You think we're too young? Fine, let's not have kids yet. Let's enjoy our time as a couple. You can have kids whenever you want, or if you don't, that's fine too. We can go to a nursing home when we're old. I'll do whatever you say, okay?"
"Just one thing, you have to promise me, let's get married soon, okay?"
To be honest, the two of them are no different from any other married couple, except that they don't live in the same house and don't have any further intimate actions, but they eat together and so on.
"I'll give you my answer when you come out, okay?"
"Alright, it's a deal then."
Qian Xiao nudged him: "You should hurry up, or you'll be late for work."
Sun Kaicheng said with some reluctance, "Then I really have to go. You must eat on time, go home quickly after get off work and don't wander around. Don't get involved in any trouble you see. Have Shuangdan keep an eye on things for you tonight."
Double Egg, are you treating me like a watchdog?
"Stop dawdling, hurry up, hurry up," this guy is acting like we haven't seen each other in ages, but we can still meet in the space tonight.
Sun Kaicheng walked away, turning back every few steps, as if they really wouldn't see each other for several months. Qian Xiao didn't want to pay attention to this drama queen and quickly returned to her office.
"Xiao Qian, come with me to the city. Let's go now."
Qian had just sat down with a smile and hadn't even had a sip of water when she was notified that she had to go on a business trip.
"Uncle Wu, why are you in such a hurry?"
They usually get notified before they leave for business trips, so this is the first time I've seen them leaving immediately.
Master Wu's face was grim: "It's all because of those old Russians. Damn it, they treat us like royalty, and we don't do any real work all day. The steel mill's machines have been shut down for almost a week."
"I bought this machine not long ago and it cost a lot of money. Who knew it would break down after only one day of use? We invited an expert, but he just ate and drank all day and didn't help with the repair. We had no choice but to contact the experienced workers in various factories."
"Many veteran craftsmen have gone to look, but they still haven't come up with a good solution. Let's see if we can come up with any ideas. Xiao Qian, you're a college student and you know Russian, right?"
Qian Xiao nodded. Everyone knew this, so there was no point in hiding it. She also had a clean background, having been poor farmers for eight generations. Her father was a soldier, so no one would attack her on this basis.
