Chapter 15: Wings Hardened
Shen Qingqing went to the post office first and called her leader to coordinate work matters.
You can do translation work anywhere, you just need to send the manuscripts back regularly.
But she cannot return to Beijing in the near future, so the important tasks can only be assigned to others.
Shen Qingqing has strong working ability and is proficient in three foreign languages. Her leaders admire her very much.
If her parents had not died early and her language training had not been interrupted, she might have been even more outstanding.
Knowing that Shen Qingqing went to the Northwest this time to take care of household chores and that she needed time, the leader gave her leave without saying a word.
I didn't ask about Shen Qingqing's family affairs, I just gave her some advice.
"Deal with things before coming back. Otherwise, you will be worried about them and your work efficiency will be low."
With the leader's words, Shen Qingqing felt a lot more relieved.
After talking about work and exchanging a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
It took more than two hours to get from the compound to the county town. If she hurried, Shen Qingqing could return to the compound on the same day.
But she didn't want to be so tired.
Anyway, I'll be alone in the house when I get home.
It’s better to be nice to yourself and stay in the county guesthouse if you can’t catch the bus.
Everything depends on fate.
I was planning to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things first.
In addition to the daily necessities he needed, he also had to buy two supplements and send them to the Lin family when the time came.
The supply in the small county town cannot be compared with that in Beijing, and Shen Qingqing doesn’t know what is sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
I can only go and see first, and then decide what would be more appropriate to buy and send to the Lin family.
Shen Qingqing was not familiar with the route and it took her some time to ask for directions.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, we saw Jiang Zhixun and Lin Fengmian from afar.
The two of them stood side by side in front of the counter.
Lin Fengmian looked up at Jiang Zhixun and smiled brightly, but no one knew what he was saying.
Jiang Zhixun still looked indifferent, and would nod occasionally to show that he was listening.
Like a stone thrown into the calm lake of heart.
By the time she reacted, Shen Qingqing had already turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
She didn't want to ask why Jiang Zhixun appeared here, nor did she want to know why Lin Fengmian was with him.
Lin Fengmian's performance in the cafeteria that day said it all.
Shen Qingqing laughed at herself, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative just to be annoying.
Lin Fengmian was hostile to her.
Jiang Zhixun wanted to stay away from her.
It is better to have some self-awareness and not bother them.
As if there was a ferocious beast behind her, Shen Qingqing walked faster and faster, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Zhixun felt something and looked back.
"Brother Jiang, what do you think of this piece of cloth? I'll make some clothes for Xiaobao to wear during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Fengmian didn't notice Jiang Zhixun's abnormality. He took a piece of cotton cloth and held it in front of the man with great interest.
Originally, she wanted to stay away from Brother Jiang, but after looking around, she couldn't find Shen Qingqing.
Seeing Brother Jiang coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, she followed him in.
Before we knew it, we were talking again.
Lin Fengmian didn't want to be shy anymore. She hadn't done anything out of line, so why should she feel guilty?
If Shen Qingqing has any opinions, it’s just because she is narrow-minded!
There were pedestrians passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, but none of them was Shen Qingqing.
Jiang Zhixun withdrew his gaze.
She was not at the supply and marketing cooperative. Did she go to the bookstore or the post office?
Based on Jiang Zhixun's understanding of Shen Qingqing, he couldn't think of anything else except these few places.
I quickly bought two cans of food and took them with me to the Lin family when I went to eat.
Seeing Jiang Zhixun was about to leave, Lin Fengmian bit her lip.
Put down the fabric in your hand.
“Brother Jiang, do you still want to go find Comrade Shen? I’ll go with you.”
Fearing that Jiang Zhixun would refuse, he added, "There is strength in numbers."
Jiang Zhixun raised his hand and looked at his watch.
If we delay any longer, we will miss the bus back to the compound.
If Shen Qingqing was allowed to wander around outside alone, the old man at home would scold him severely if he found out.
After hesitating for a moment, he agreed to Lin Fengmian's proposal.
But I still reminded her, "Qingqing is soft-hearted, cries easily, and is sensitive. Don't say harsh words to her when you meet her."
Lin Fengmian's expression froze.
Although she didn't receive much education, she could still understand good and bad words.
The corners of his mouth trembled, and he pinched his palms hard to suppress the overwhelming bitterness.
"Brother Jiang, are you blaming me? That day in the cafeteria, I thought Comrade Shen was bothering you, so I..."
Jiang Zhixun said calmly, "I don't blame you, it's my fault for not making it clear in advance."
Lin Fengmian is very good at talking and never lets anyone off the hook.
But there is an exception in front of Jiang Zhixun.
She was afraid that Jiang Zhixun would think she was rude and dislike her.
When she saw Shen Qingqing in the cafeteria that day, Jiang Zhixun's attitude was strange, and she got anxious and did that thing.
Lin Fengmian didn't think it was a big deal to be criticized by his brother.
But when Jiang Zhixun said this to her, she suddenly felt very aggrieved.
That day in the cafeteria, it was clearly Brother Jiang who made things difficult for Shen Qingqing first.
What's wrong with her standing on his side?
My nose is sour and I have an inexplicable urge to cry.
Lin Fengmian took a breath, “Brother Jiang, whether you believe it or not, if I had known that Comrade Shen was your lover, I would not have said those words.”
Jiang Zhixun neither said he believed it nor said he did not believe it.
"It's getting late, or you should go back first, so as not to worry your brother and sister-in-law."
Carry your things and leave first.
Lin Fengmian couldn't decide whether to leave or stay.
I feel even more aggrieved.
We agreed to ask her to help find someone, why did you suddenly change your mind?
Could it be that he was afraid that Shen Qingqing would be angry if she saw them together?
Or was she afraid that she would say something harsh and scare Shen Qingqing?
Thinking of Shen Qingqing's delicate appearance, Lin Fengmian's grievance turned into disgust.
That kind of woman must be very good at pretending to be pitiful!
Just shedding a few tears can make the man feel sorry for her.
Maybe he even complained to Brother Jiang in private, otherwise why would he suddenly say something like that.
She wanted to see what Brother Jiang would do once Shen Qingqing was found!
So, I trotted after him.
There were not many places for entertainment in the county town, and Shen Qingqing didn't know where to go.
She didn't want to meet Jiang Zhixun and Lin Fengmian.
In the compound, she would follow her mother-in-law's wishes and cooperate with Jiang Zhixun to play the role of an ordinary couple.
To repay the Jiang family for raising me over the years.
But when she was out, she didn't want to embarrass herself.
They are all going to get divorced, there is no need to get too involved.
I passed by a cinema and went in and bought a ticket.
After watching the movie, they must have left the county.
But in this way, she would miss the bus back to the compound and could only stay in the county town for one night.
Before leaving the compound, Shen Qingqing told Xiao Li from the guesthouse that if she didn't rush back, it meant she was living in the county town and there was no need to look for her.
Free from all worries at this moment, Shen Qingqing took the ticket and walked into the screening room.
She didn't know that Jiang Zhixun had searched every place he could, including parks and state-owned hotels.
I almost reported it to the police.
Seeing Jiang Zhixun so nervous about Shen Qingqing, Lin Fengmian felt very uncomfortable.
He said sarcastically, "She came early, maybe she bought something and went back to the compound. Brother Jiang, don't worry, go back to the compound and take a look first."
Jiang Zhixun had a stern expression.
When I returned to the compound and didn't see Shen Qingqing, I felt extremely cold.
Xiao Li was puzzled, "Comrade Shen said she would stay in the county town for one night, Captain Jiang, didn't she tell you?"
Jiang Zhixun walked out without saying a word.
I borrowed a car and went to the county town again.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The man slapped the steering wheel hard, "Shen Qingqing, you've really grown wings!"
