Yang Niannian could tell something was wrong and said crisply, "Just say whatever you want to say. A man shouldn't be so fussy."
Jiang Yang scratched his head guiltily on the other end of the phone and chuckled.
"I told you not to be angry."
Yang Niannian raised her voice, "That depends on the situation."
Jiang Yang made up his mind and said, "Master Qu was fired by the factory. He has no source of income and a family to support. I hired him to work at the scrap yard. He earns 50 yuan a month."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. The reason he was worried that Yang Niannian would be angry was because Yang Niannian had previously refused his attempt to poach Qu Xiangyou.
Yang Niannian was stunned, "Why was he fired?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yang got angry and put his hand on his waist.
"Isn't it Liu Sheng? He falsely accused Master Qu of stealing materials from the factory and selling them. If Master Qu hadn't worked in the factory for many years, the factory would have sent him to the police. Master Qu has excellent skills, but Liu Sheng ruined his reputation. All the manufacturing plants in Haicheng don't want him, so he has to change jobs."
Yang Niannian frowned and said with certainty, "Master Qu is not that kind of person."
He had met Qu Xiang several times. He was a very honest man and it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
"I also think he is not the one, but he can't explain himself even if he talks a lot. Some employees said they saw him selling materials from the factory to other factories." Jiang Yang explained.
Yang Niannian thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when I arrive the day after tomorrow!" It's not convenient to talk about things over the phone.
Jiang Yang, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"You don't have to come to pick me up if you're busy. Just ask Boss Zheng to send me to the army. I want to go back and take a look first." Yang Niannian felt uneasy because she couldn't contact Lu Shishen during this period.
"There's one more thing I haven't had time to tell you yet." Jiang Yang suddenly lowered his voice and started to report, "I think the orderly next to Brother Lu is very attentive to Ruo Ling. If you don't keep a close eye on her, the cabbage will be eaten by the pig."
Yang Niannian was amused, "What does Ruoling think?"
Jiang Yang said, "Well, she is so innocent and naive. I guess she hasn't figured out what she's thinking yet."
I don’t know why Brother Lu is so smart and his sister is so stupid.
Yang Niannian felt that there was something going on between Li Fengyi and Lu Ruoling, so she hung up the phone happily.
Zheng Xinyue also finished the call and asked in confusion, "Niannian, what are you so happy about? Please share it with me."
Yang Niannian blinked, "Shi Shen's orderly wants to pursue his sister."
Zheng Xinyue beat her chest and stamped her feet, "We are all soldiers, why is Deputy Commander Qin not so sensible?"
Yang Niannian, "If he was so sensible, he would have been married a long time ago."
After hearing what Yang Niannian said, Zheng Xinyue suddenly became enlightened. The two of them went back to the dormitory hand in hand and went to bed early.
The next day.
The two got up early, went out to buy some snacks, had lunch and went to the train station.
The train station was crowded with people, most of whom were young people, especially college students.
Order is not maintained so well these days. There are crowds of people everywhere. Many people don't queue up. If they queue up at the back, the train may have left before they enter the station.
Zheng Xinyue seemed to be possessed by a god. She carried the luggage in one hand and pulled Yang Niannian with the other, trying to squeeze in. They were both exhausted and out of breath. It took them more than half an hour to finally get into the station.
While waiting for the train, two middle-aged men and a woman came over to try to get close to them. They didn't look like good people, so Zheng Xinyue bullied them away.
"Niannian, just stay with me and don't bother with anyone else. There are a lot of human traffickers at the train station. You are so beautiful, if you were kidnapped, you could be sold for a good price. The traffickers will definitely be eyeing you."
Knowing that Zheng Xinyue likes to hear flattery, Yang Niannian said, "With you here, I am not afraid of tigers in the mountains."
Zheng Xinyue laughed heartily. The two of them stayed in the station for three or four hours and finally the train arrived.
Except for the crowded and tiring time on the train, the journey was smooth.
The train arrived at Ancheng Station at around five in the morning. It was gray outside and not yet light.
As soon as Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue got out of the station, they saw Zheng Haitian waiting at the exit.
With him was Du Weili. Both of their hair and eyelashes were covered with white frost, and it was obvious that they had been waiting for quite some time.
"Boss Zheng." Yang Niannian greeted with a smile.
Zheng Xinyue excitedly circled around Zheng Haitian, "Uncle, I missed you so much."
It was the first time that Zheng Haitian was separated from his niece for such a long time. His happiness was written all over his face, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Are you tired after sitting on the train all night? Come on board. We have prepared breakfast at home and are waiting to welcome you."
He took the luggage from Zheng Xinyue and put it into the trunk.
Being ignored, Du Weili protested, "I also came here early in the morning. Are you guys just ignoring me like this?"
Yang Niannian asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Du Weili's face was full of reluctance. "Isn't it that brat Jiang Yang? He didn't have time to pick you up, so he asked me to come."
Yang Niannian looked around and asked, "Where's your car?"
Du Weili pointed to the left, "Over there."
Hearing this, Yang Niannian said goodbye to Zheng Haitian and Zheng Xinyue, "Boss Zheng, Xinyue, we'll see you later. I'm going back in Boss Du's car first."
Zheng Haitian smiled and nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Zheng Xinyue had been with Yang Niannian all day, and now she just wanted to go back to see her second aunt and winked at Yang Niannian.
"Nian Nian, I will come to see you in two days."
Du Weili took the luggage from Yang Niannian's hand, led her to the front of the car, put the things in the trunk, then lowered his head and patted the frost off his hair.
He complained, "Even after my grandma passed away, I didn't get up this early."
Yang Niannian raised her eyebrows, "Didn't your grandma scold you with all her might?"
Du Weili's mouth twitched, "You have a really bad mouth."
He walked to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in. "Are you going to the scrap yard or back to the military compound?"
There were some things similar to construction materials placed in the back of the car, so Yang Niannian sat directly in the passenger seat.
"Let's go to the Military Family Compound! It's too cold and I don't want to ride my bike back."
She couldn't wait to go back and see what Lu Shishen was doing as he hadn't contacted her for almost a month.
Du Weili complained, "Women really forget their friends when they see a beautiful woman."
Yang Niannian, "How is the construction of the factory going?"
Du Weili, "How about taking you for a ride?"
Yang Niannian shook her head decisively, "Go directly back to the military family compound."
Du Weili said sarcastically again, "See, you're not paying attention to your business anymore."
Yang Niannian was too lazy to pay attention to him.
It snowed in Ancheng some time ago and it hasn't completely melted yet, but the road was icy in the morning. It didn't affect driving, but the road was a bit bumpy.
It was only half past six when the car arrived at the military family compound.
Du Weili parked the car, opened the trunk, carried the things and walked Yang Niannian into the yard.
The weather was cold and many people had not yet gotten up. The military family compound was quiet. The yard looked a bit desolate without the green plants, and the radish leaves in the vegetable field were covered with snow that had not yet melted.
She took Du Weili into the fenced yard, took out the key from the crack in the bricks at the entrance and opened the door. The house smelled musty and it was obvious that no one had been back for a long time.
