Big shots don't care about their appearance
Perhaps it was Shen Roujiao's careful care, or perhaps it was the nourishment of love, Zhou Huaiyue's wounds healed quickly, and he was discharged from the hospital and returned home on the fifth day.
Large red lanterns had been hung in the yard. The Zhou family had a troubled New Year. They did not have their first reunion dinner until the fifth night of the New Year: steaming colorful dumplings.
The idea was proposed by Shen Roujiao. When she saw spinach, carrots and purple cabbage in Wang Ma's vegetable basket, an idea suddenly occurred to her, and she remembered that in her previous life, her mother had used these vegetables to make dumplings. They were colorful, including green, purple, orange, and mixed colors, and they looked particularly beautiful.
In the restaurant in the west room, the family sat around a big round table. Zhou Chuzhuo found his father-in-law's medicine grinder, Lingxi was in charge of using the medicine grinder to grind out vegetable juice, Aunt Wang used the vegetable juice to mix dough and roll out dough, Shen Roujiao and Chen Zhenhua made dumplings together, and the injured Zhou Huaiyue was delighted watching from the side: the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated well, and made dumplings quickly and beautifully.
From the alley to dinner time, the sound of firecrackers never stopped. When the colorful dumplings were cooking in the pot, Zhou Huaiyue hung firecrackers at the door.
Lingxi was bold, holding a long stick of incense; Shen Roujiao was timid, hiding far away with her hands covering her ears. Zhou Huaiyue stood behind her, covering her hands with his warm hands. When the red firecracker skins were blown up and flew everywhere, Shen Roujiao hid in his arms.
At the moment when the sound of firecrackers ended, Zhou Huaiyue said to the person in his arms: "Shen Roujiao, Happy New Year. Thank you for liking me."
Her eyes lit up, and she held his face emotionally, her heart and eyes filled with him, "Zhou Huaiyue, Happy New Year. I'm glad you still like me."
Even though he knew that she approached him because of money in the first place, he still liked her, very much.
......
Early in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, an unkempt big man came to the house. He was Ms. Zhenhua's junior brother, a powerful figure who could help Sanhua Medicine Factory solve the problem of planting nameless grass.
His name is Tang Zhipei. He also studied biology at a Russian university. He should have been a handsome, young and promising young talent. However, because his parents died tragically in the Cultural Revolution, he was mentally traumatized and had an abnormal temper. He was unable to work normally in the research institute. Chen Zhenhua has been helping him for many years.
He is thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, has an unshaven beard, and is single and unmarried.
"Zhi Pei." Chen Zhenhua brought a bottle of Coke, twisted it open and stuffed it into his hand, pointed at Zhou Huaiyue and Shen Roujiao and said, "Look at these two, the directors of the Yundian Pharmaceutical Factory. If you like them, you can go with them. If not, we can stay in Beijing."
Chen Zhenhua treats Tang Zhipei like his younger brother. He is extremely smart, but has a strange temper and only deals with people he likes.
Therefore, no one can decide whether to go to Yunnan or help Sanhua, and he must give his nod himself.
"Who is that person?" Tang Zhipei pointed at Lingxi who was wearing a Taoist robe and practicing Ba Duan Jin in the yard.
"She is my senior sister." Shen Roujiao looked in the direction he pointed.
"Doesn't she have to go to school?" Such leaps of thought are a bit hard to follow.
"Normally, she doesn't go to school. She studies Chinese medicine with Huaiyue at the pharmaceutical factory." Shen Roujiao has tried her best to explain it clearly.
"Oh, that's weird."
!
People can really spot their own kind at the first sight. He is strange, obviously much stranger than Lingxi.
Tang Zhipei drank a Coke, stood in the yard, and watched the little nun practice martial arts attentively.
Inside the house, Shen Roujiao quietly moved to Chen Zhenhua's side, her words full of worry, "Aunt Chen, will he attack anyone?"
"He is not mentally ill, just a little autistic. I'm worried that you won't be able to take good care of him and let him suffer in Yunnan." Chen Zhenhua looked at Tang Zhipei in the yard with heartache. He was as sincere as a child and kept a childlike innocence in the things he was interested in. He was a blessing in disguise.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of him."
In the yard, after finishing her exercise, Lingxi looked up at Tang Zhipei and said, "Do you want to learn too? I can teach you. But," she paused and waved, and Tang Zhipei walked over obediently. Lingxi frowned and thought, "It's a pity that you are a little old. Are you afraid of pain?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Zhipei thought Lingxi, who knew martial arts, was going to hit him, so he took a big step back.
"You have to stretch your muscles when practicing. If it hurts, can you bear it?" Lingxi sounded like a stern and serious little teacher.
"Yes. Can I go back to Yunnan with you?" he asked.
"Okay, then I can teach you a lot of things." Lingxi's face was full of joy, and she was very proud that she had found a disciple who was willing to follow her in the capital.
Overjoyed, Lingxi rushed into the house in two steps, pointed at Tang Zhipei at the door, and said excitedly: "Aunt Chen, Junior Sister, Brother Huaiyue, I have accepted a disciple."
Zhou Huaiyue sighed from the bottom of his heart, "He is not an ordinary disciple."
The two had met several times and had spoken no more than ten sentences to each other, but I often heard my mother praise him: Tang Zhipei is first-class in research sensitivity and he can always find things that are overlooked by everyone.
Shen Roujiao didn't expect that Tang Zhipei was willing to go to Yunnan because of Lingxi.
Fate is truly a mysterious thing, always extending in unexpected directions without you noticing.
......
The factory will not start work until after the 15th.
Before going back, Zhou Huaiyue took Shen Roujiao and Lingxi to have fun in the capital for a few days as they wished.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, they split into two groups. Shen Roujiao, Lingxi and Tang Zhipei returned to Yunnan to prepare for the start of the factory; Zhou Huaiyue went to Shanghai alone. Ji Mingyuan recommended a factory to them that could design and customize a full set of equipment.
Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory, which received the military order, had to improve its production line in order to significantly increase production.
The young couple had just come together and were about to separate. On the platform of the train station, Zhou Huaiyue wrapped Shen Roujiao tightly in a cotton coat and said, "I should be able to go back before Siyue Rushan gets married. You take care of yourself and take care of them."
"Huai Yue, remember to call the factory when you get there. I'll be waiting for you." She buried her head in Zhou Huai Yue's chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling solid and warm.
"Roujiao, remember to think of me every day." Zhou Huaiyue, who would not say goodbye, was filled with sorrow and sadness. Tears welled up in his eyes and dripped from the tip of his nose.
"Huai Yue, don't be sad." Shen Roujiao gently wiped the tears from his face, but her own tears were welling up in her eyes.
A wave of heartache surged up in Zhou Huaiyue, and he ignored the looks around him. He held up Shen Roujiao's face and kissed away her tears. He kissed her very lightly, as if he was treating the treasure he had dreamed of in his life, with great care.
The train whistle kept urging them to hold on tightly, unwilling to let go, until the conductor in the sleeper car shouted at them: "Stop holding on, stop holding on, or you will miss the train."
Shen Roujiao let go of her hand first, raised her head and gazed at him tenderly. The moment she took a step back, she was kissed by Zhou Huaiyue. He kissed her deeply and fiercely. Even the jeers did not stop him. He was reluctant to see her go.
The conductor started yelling again: "Stop kissing! Stop kissing! I'm going to close the door."
At the last second, Shen Roujiao boarded the train. Zhou Huaiyue's stiff figure became smaller in her blurry vision, and then began to grow larger. He caught up with her, and Shen Roujiao cried through the window until she was choked with sobs.
Until Zhou Huaiyue was left far behind and could no longer be seen.
They tore a hole in each other's hearts. It turns out that love can really be heart-wrenching and painful.
In the carriage, Tang Zhipei, who saw the whole process, asked Lingxi curiously, "Does your junior sister like Zhou Huaiyue very much?"
"Of course. But Brother Huaiyue likes my junior sister more."
"Even?"
"If Junior Sister's love is ten points, then Brother Huaiyue's love is twelve points."
"Actually, ten points is the same as twelve points." Tang Zhipei calmly sat back in the hard sleeper compartment.
“?” The teenage Lingxi didn’t understand.
"Some people like it 10 points; some people like it 12 points; since they are both upper limits, what's the difference?"
Lingxi saw light in Tang Zhipei and said proudly, "Wow! You can be a master."
......
Arriving at Benyuan County, Shen Roujiao wanted Tang Zhipei to stay in Zhou Huaiyue's room first, and move out after she found a house for him, but he refused. She could only arrange for him to stay in the county guesthouse first.
Fortunately, with the know-it-all Hu Zi, they found an empty room on the floor above where they lived without much trouble. After a day of hard cleaning, they also bought some necessary old furniture and new bedding, trying to make the room as clean, comfortable and tidy as possible.
The conditions were definitely not as good as those in the capital, but fortunately Tang Zhipei did not mind. On the morning of the second day after he moved in, Lingxi could not wait to start her teaching.
She taught Ba Duan Jin seriously, Tang Zhipei learned seriously, and Shen Roujiao watched attentively from upstairs.
On the first day of work on the 16th of the lunar year, Shen Roujiao stood at the factory gate, greeted every employee, and gave everyone red envelopes. Tang Zhipei and Lingxi also received red envelopes.
When Tang Zhipei first came to the laboratory of Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory, he was shocked. The specifications, facilities and equipment of the laboratory were much more professional than he had imagined.
All the information about the nameless grass was compiled by Zhou Huaiyue in Nanshan Village. After consulting Lingxi and learning about the growth environment of the nameless grass, Tang Zhipei began to design and make a cultivation chamber that simulates the environment.
Zhou Huaiyue's first call came at noon on the day of work. In the factory director's office, Shen Roujiao expressed his longing without any scruples, "Huaiyue, I miss you so much, I miss you every day, I miss you so much that I can't sleep..."
On the wall behind her was a group photo of all the honorees for fighting against the epidemic. In the photo, Zhou Huaiyue leaned towards her, leaning close to Shen Roujiao. The closeness of the two made it clear that they were a couple.
But only the parties involved know how sad they were at the time and how hard it was for them to pretend.
On the day the pharmaceutical factory was completed, Zhou Huaiyue hung this photo in his office. It represents an unspeakable hope, hoping that they can become a real couple as in the photo.
Now, with the corny love words, his wish finally came true.
A few days later, Director Sun of the Provincial Hospital called the pharmaceutical factory with good news: Sanhua Weitai was back on the Provincial Hospital's drug list.
The five production lines are fully operational, producing 550,000 packs per month, which is enough to meet the supply needs of several new hospitals in the province. Before the production lines are improved, Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory decided to suspend accepting new orders.
