Nothing happened overnight, and the next morning, Yue Jiuling got up on time to go to work.
Good morning, Jiuling! Happy Lantern Festival! Let's eat some tangyuan together!
Upon arriving at the management office, Yue Jiuling noticed everyone gathered around the table eating glutinous rice balls. She smiled and accepted a bowl of glutinous rice balls from Mu Xiaoyi, saying, "Oh, who bought these glutinous rice balls? How kind!"
"Hehe, I brought this from home."
Ye Dongfeng sat down in a chair and ate some glutinous rice balls. He said happily, "These glutinous rice balls were made by my mom and my wife. They have peanut and sesame flavors, and they're both delicious!"
"Wow, you actually brought us food! That's rare! Looks like I'll have to eat a lot!"
Hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, Yue Jiuling ate a glutinous rice ball and said, "But your mother and wife are really capable, they can make it themselves. If it were us, we would go out and buy it."
Hidden nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, and it tastes pretty good too."
"Hehe, aren't you all envious and jealous~"
Ye Dongfeng proudly showed off his mother and wife.
Mu Xiaoyi and Bai Xinyu laughed too. Girls like them usually love sweets, so they ate quite a lot of glutinous rice balls. Mu Xiaoyi said, "Look at you~ Don't be so smug. We all know you have a good mother and a good wife."
"That's right, that's right, we know, stop showing off."
Bai Xinyu laughed as well.
Ya Zi also really likes sweets, but when he saw Yue Jiuling, who had arrived late and received the fewest glutinous rice balls, he reluctantly gave half of his own glutinous rice balls to her: "Jiuling, I still have a few here, you can have them. You must not have eaten breakfast, eat a few more."
"OK, thanks."
Yue Jiuling does indeed like sweets, so she accepted Ya Zi's glutinous rice balls.
Xiao Baicai and Ahui, who were eating glutinous rice balls for the first time, stared longingly at the last one in the pot, because they both wanted to eat it, but were too embarrassed to ask.
Little Cabbage finally resisted his craving and said to Ah Hui, "Ah Hui, you eat it. You've only been a spirit for a few months and you're a younger brother. I'll let you have it."
"OK, thanks."
Upon hearing what Xiaobaicai said, Ahui immediately went and ate the last glutinous rice ball.
Although Xiaobaicai also loves sweets, he can't eat too much. He can only taste them and can't eat too much sugar.
Because Qiongqi said that it's best not to eat too many sweet vegetables, otherwise it will be bad for the roots. Qiongqi usually doesn't allow Xiaobaicai to eat sweets, and only feeds him meat. That's why Xiaobaicai, who rarely eats sweets, is so greedy.
"Alright, is everyone full? If you're full, let's get back to work!"
After finishing his meal and washing the dishes, he returned to his desk and said, "Ugh, everyone else is celebrating a holiday, but we're stuck at work. It's tough enough as it is!"
"That's right!"
Mu Xiaoyi finished washing the dishes and returned to her seat, saying, "Sigh, I even came to work early. I wonder if I'll get paid back."
"There should be a salary subsidy, right?" Ye Dongfeng thought for a moment and said, "We are, after all, civil servants, hahaha~"
"Maybe. It would be best if there were some kind of subsidy, otherwise we'd be working overtime for nothing."
Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "I believe the country will not treat us unfairly!"
"Haha, yes, okay, let's not talk about that anymore. The police sent us some clues this morning, let's take a look."
He moved the mouse stealthily and opened a folder, saying, "This should be the soil analysis report; maybe we found the address."
Ye Dongfeng also opened the folder on his computer and said, "Having an address is the best, but I'm also afraid that even with an address, we might not be able to find anything."
"Don't panic, I think it might be of some use."
Mu Xiaoyi was also looking at the documents: "Hmm, this soil is indeed from our city, but the area it's located in is quite large~"
Hidden said, "Yes, the report says this soil contains a lot of nutrients, including a little bit of fish scales. Nutrient-rich soil is often used for growing plants, but the presence of fish scales here suggests it might be in some fishponds or small river/reservoir areas in the city. It seems there are quite a few fishponds in the city though."
