It's a new day again. The summer temperature is so comforting, too comforting, that Shen Qiaoyue, who is already afraid of the heat, can't stand being in the office.
Halfway through drawing, even the fan couldn't keep out the sweltering heat.
Shen Qiaoyue put down the pencil in her hand.
Jiang Jinyao was also sweating from the heat.
"The sun at one or two o'clock in the afternoon is really scorching!" Jiang Jinyao was also unable to bear the heat.
"Let's go outside and buy an ice pop. It's so hot, I'm about to get heatstroke." Shen Qiaoyue was unbearably hot. Even though she was wearing a dress, she could feel herself sweating. The room was not as cool as the outside.
"Alright, let's go then." Jiang Jinyao got up and came over to help Shen Qiaoyue.
After leaving the factory area with an umbrella, Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao went to a small shop and bought an ice pop to eat.
Only then did I feel a little more relaxed.
The rustling of leaves on the trees in the street, when blown by the wind, is much cooler than being in a room.
“I think it would be better for us to move our office from the third floor to the second floor of the middle building. This building is right in the middle under the blazing sun, and it’s too hot on the third floor.” Jiang Jinyao looked at the rows of rooms and felt that it would be cooler to work on the second floor of the middle buildings.
Shen Qiaoyue followed the gaze and saw that the building opposite their office was quite nice, with many leaves blocking the view and making it quite cool.
“This building is not bad. Since no one is working here, we moved to the second floor here. The rooms are big, which is just right so that they can have a place to sit.”
Shen Qiaoyue pointed to the building across the street. The sun was shining directly in, but there were rows of tall trees blocking the sunlight, making it cool and refreshing.
"If the branches of these trees are cut off one day, we'll still be just as hot. Let's just forget about it!"
Shen Qiaoyue looked up again and saw that the weather, along with the uncertain greenery, was indeed as Jiang Jinyao had said.
Reluctantly, Shen Qiaoyue agreed to Jiang Jinyao's suggestion.
Let's get right to it.
After eating popsicles, I went to the next building to clean up and then gathered a few people from the workshop to work together.
Everything was moved over in just one hour.
Xia Xiaoli checked the list in the morning and was indeed accepted.
At the entrance, she saw Bai Jinghao, who had taken the exam with her last time. The two were so happy that they went shopping together in the city to celebrate and prepare for work.
Bai Jinghao and Xia Xiaoli went to the city and bought two sets of clothes. Bai Jinghao noticed that Xia Xiaoli was struggling financially, so she treated her to a meal.
They quickly became good friends.
After Xia Xiaoli finished shopping, she said goodbye to Bai Jinghao and waited for the bus in the city.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of her.
"Xiaoli?" Bai Jinghao happily got out of the car and greeted Xia Xiaoli.
Xia Xiaoli looked up and saw Bai Jinghao and Li Qingming, the one who had helped her up last time.
"So you're from the family compound too!" After Bai Jinghao finished shopping, her father asked a car that was going into town to take her back. However, when Li Qingming passed by, he saw Xia Xiaoli and turned back.
When I told her that Xia Xiaoli was a family member in the residential compound, she realized that neither of them knew where they lived.
Xia Xiaoli was also stunned when she saw them appear.
"Comrade Bai, are you also a family member in the family compound?" Xia Xiaoli asked in surprise, as she had never seen her in the family compound before.
Bai Jinghao nodded and said, "I'm new here. I live in the Second District compound next door, not in the same family compound, so it's normal that you haven't seen me before. I also heard that our leader is the sister-in-law of the family compound. Have you met her?"
Xia Xiaoli smiled and nodded, saying, "I've met Sister Qiaoyue a few times, but I'm not very familiar with her."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it soon. Let's get in the car first." Bai Jinghao helped Xia Xiaoli put her things in the car.
Li Qingming didn't say much throughout the whole process. He was originally going into the city to pick someone up, but he didn't manage to pick them up. The leader said that the chief's daughter was also in the city, so he could give her a ride along the way.
The two weren't very familiar with each other.
After Xia Xiaoli got on the bus, the bus became noticeably more lively, and the two girls chatted quite a bit.
We chatted a lot along the way, and got off the bus at the entrance of the residential compound.
Xia Xiaoli went home happily, eager to tell her cousin-in-law the good news.
"Sister-in-law, I passed the exam. I can go to work tomorrow." Xia Xiaoli carried several bags home.
Xiang Shulan was sewing clothes in the living room when she heard Xia Xiaoli return. She quickly replied, "I know, your sister-in-law Huang told me when she came back this morning."
Xia Xiaoli excitedly grabbed Xiang Shulan's hand and cried, "Sister-in-law, I passed! I'm not useless. I can work and support myself in the future."
Xiang Shulan nodded, and then became excited.
"Your sister-in-law has always believed in you, and she will definitely prove herself."
"Let's have a proper celebration today. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some meat. We'll have a good celebration tonight."
Xiang Shulan always wants to eat meat when she's happy.
She doesn't work during the day, so she has time to shop for whatever she wants.
So I can eat meat at almost every meal.
Since Xiang Shulan started treating him well, letting him eat whatever he wanted, Zhang Dali would sometimes even prepare delicious food for him.
A woman who is loved and cared for becomes more confident and beautiful.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat. There shouldn't be many people around at this time," Xia Xiaoli said, heading out to buy groceries.
Xiang Shulan asked worriedly, "Did you bring any money with you when you went grocery shopping?"
"I brought it with me. The fifty yuan you and my cousin gave me last time, I still have some left." Xia Xiaoli subconsciously touched her pocket. Actually, she didn't have much left. After buying so many things, she probably only had about ten yuan left.
Xiang Shulan took out five yuan and two half-jin meat coupons from her pocket.
"Take this and use it to buy things. You've bought so much stuff, you probably don't have much money left."
Xiang Shulan didn't know how much she had left, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
But it's only right that she pays for the food at home.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Here you go. And if you run out of that fifty yuan, just tell your cousin-in-law. It's okay." Xiang Shulan also felt sorry for her cousin who was not yet twenty years old.
She was so young and her body was like this; she just wanted Xia Xiaoli's life to be less miserable.
"Okay, thank you, cousin-in-law." Ever since Xia Xiaoli came here, Xiang Shulan has been trying different ways to improve her meals.
"Buy more shiitake mushrooms and cabbage. Your cousin-in-law will make dumplings for you later. Go on your way." Xiang Shulan told Xia Xiaoli to go buy groceries. She also put down her work and went to the kitchen to use the little white flour left to make dough for dumplings.
Xia Xiaoli left home.
In the past, my parents looked down on my aunt and cousin's family the most, thinking that they had no education at all.
When my aunt married my cousin's father, she also gave him a dowry of eighty yuan.
Xia Xiaoli grew up in a privileged family and had a relatively good life.
