When Team Leader Xie arrived at the farm with his men, it was already dark and the snow had not melted in some places yet. Although they said they would work non-stop until New Year's Eve, they couldn't really say they were very busy.
As soon as they arrived, the farm office sent a cadre to receive them. In fact, the farm office has its own accounting system. This is just a formality every year, and everyone is responsible for their own profits and losses.
It was Duan Tianzhu who received Xie Chunrong this time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader. It's really not easy to make this trip in the freezing cold weather. The field office has already started arranging guesthouses. We've reserved one triple room and three double rooms based on the number of people you reported. Please be careful where you step. Go this way..."
There were just three men staying in the triple room. Wang Yingxi took the initiative to be grouped with Qiu Yuling in the double room, and another two people were grouped together. Xie Chunrong was left alone in the single room.
"Director Duan's arrangement is too expensive. It would be fine if we just had one room for men and one for women like in previous years."
"Ah~ In previous years, the conditions were limited. Last year, we had a major construction project, so now there are plenty of rooms. There aren't many people coming this time of year, so just stay here peacefully."
After several rounds of negotiations, it was hard to refuse the kindness, and finally, with Xie Chunrong's agreement, the few of them hurried into their rooms and put down their luggage.
"Yuling, I have a stomachache. I need to go to the bathroom first. Please tell the team leader."
"Well, it's okay, just go quickly, I'll tell you and wait for you."
After hearing this, Xie Chunrong asked everyone to solve their personal problems first, and then lead the team to the cafeteria.
There were so many people around that Qiu Yuling had no choice but to go to the dry toilet.
She originally thought that there would be maggots underneath in winter, but unexpectedly, it was frozen underneath and there was not the "grand scene" she had imagined.
She hurriedly tightened her belt and ran out.
"Why don't you wait for me? I called you so many times, but you ran like a rabbit. Is there a wolf in the toilet or something?" Wang Yingxi caught up with him, panting.
"I heard you. I don't want to wait for someone by the toilet. It's going to stink everywhere."
Ever since the two of them worked together on a deal, Qiu Yuling no longer pretended with her. She said whatever she wanted to say.
"You really are... Even if you say you're from the country, you're sometimes more sophisticated than the city people. Even if you say you're from the city, you have so much strength. I'm impressed by you."
The two of them were arguing as they walked to the gathering place at the entrance of the guesthouse. But when they got there, except for the team leader, there was no one else there.
"No, Yuling, did you just notice that there was someone in the bathroom?" She still remembered that the two of them had been in the restroom until the end. She had diarrhea today and had to go back and forth several times.
As for Qiu Yuling, she was delayed because she couldn't make up her mind to leave.
“It seems to be gone.”
Xie Chunrong saw the two of them playing guessing games and warned them, "They're going upstairs to get some water. If you two are going, hurry up. The canteen chef will be off work soon."
Although it was obvious that they were given special treatment, it was still embarrassing to make them wait too long.
Qiu Yuling pressed Wang Yingxi's hand and replied first, "No, Team Leader. We can get some water when we get back tonight. We're late, and if we run up there, we'll have to keep everyone waiting for a long time."
Xie Chunrong nodded and said nothing more.
After all, it was Chinese New Year, so the canteen prepared pork and cabbage dumplings.
After a bowl of hot dumpling soup, everyone was very satisfied, and even the tiny gaps were filled up.
Especially Wang Yingxi, the unhappiness she had felt that morning had long since vanished. "Yuling, after all, it's a state-owned farm with its own meat factory. There's plenty of meat in the dumplings..."
Xie Chunrong took the time to glare at the talkative girl. If her parents hadn't begged her to bring the person out to avoid the limelight, to be honest, this girl really didn't care and would keep making so much noise all day.
Qiu Yuling poked her sister Xier with her elbow. Wang Yingxi shrank her neck and gave the team leader a flattering smile.
Xie Chunrong turned his face away, he really couldn't bear to look at the girl.
When they got home that night, Wang Yingxi pulled out two glass bottles of salt water from her bag. She kept one for herself and Qiu Yuling, and said, "Take these. Fill them with hot water and put them under the covers to keep warm."
Qiu Yuling paused for a moment while holding the hot water bottle, then took it out again. "No need, Sister Xier, I brought it with me."
The farm is located in a vast and sparsely populated area. The north wind outside blows like a monster in a picture book, making a whistling sound and sometimes even whistling.
Qiu Yuling was originally drowsy, when she suddenly noticed a figure standing beside the bed. She instinctively decided to cover the person with the quilt and beat him up.
"Yuling, stop hitting me. It's me. I'm scared. Can we sleep together?"
"Sister Xier?" Qiu Yuling muttered softly as she picked up the quilt, letting go of the warmth he had managed to accumulate.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. I was scared. I always felt that there was a shadow by the window..."
"Stop talking and come up. Oh, bring your quilt with you so we can sleep head to toe." Damn it, she was just about to refuse, but the other party scared her with his shadow.
The memory of the dead suddenly began to attack her.
Without saying a word, he made room for me.
"Can we sleep on the same bed?"
Qiu Yuling thought about it and agreed. "I'll sleep inside and you sleep outside. I'll put the stool next to the bed. It's cold anyway, and we won't roll over, so we shouldn't fall off."
After all, she needed help from others, so Wang Yingxi had no choice but to agree. She thought that even if she kept asking, her sister Yuling would not let her sleep inside.
The two of them were well behaved before going to bed, but after falling asleep, they were not so good sleeping postures. The next morning, when they opened their eyes, Qiu Yuling felt pain in her neck, and Wang Yingxi felt pain in her leg from being kicked.
"Let's sleep separately today. You sleep so badly." As soon as Wang Yingxi said this, Qiu Yuling immediately agreed.
"Your arm was like a python, it gave me nightmares all night. It's no use begging me today."
We are going to get down to work today. Xie Chunrong and his team members have entered the finance department of the site, and the business is going on in full swing.
At this moment, everyone was calculating their belongings with great skill. The crackling sound made people passing by who were doing business nervous.
Qiu Yuling waited until that Sunday before Xie Chunrong kindly gave everyone half a day off.
"Yuling, let's go to the field office and have a good look around later." Wang Yingxi put his arm around the little sister and made an invitation.
"No, my eldest brother and his family are at the second factory. It's so hard for him to come here, I have to go see them."
"Ah? Your family is so powerful, why don't you introduce one of your brothers to me? My mom is like possessed this year, she keeps nagging me to get married. I can get along with your sister-in-law, and then we can become a family, wouldn't that be even better?"
Qiu Yuling took off the delicate jade claws that were around her arms. Since the destruction of the Four Olds, young men and women suddenly became more unrestrained. Those who never talked about finding a partner before can now find a partner on their own.
"I can't be the boss of my brothers. You know, my mother has the final say in my family. She favors her sons. I'm just the cabbage in the field. I don't count at all."
