"These were issued by the military today. They taste quite sweet. You should try some."
Seeing the table full of apples, Lin Yuxi quickly said, "Don't bring any more, the fruit basket on the table is already full."
"Mom has worked hard taking care of the child. Please make sure she eats more. If she needs anything, just go and buy it. I've taken a break. I have 15 days off in a month. We'll go to Shanghai to see Dad and Grandpa and Grandma, and then go back to Qinghe Village."
Gu Chen handed over all his salary, but he would also send ten yuan back to Gu Zhixiang and Wang Caixia every month.
Now that there's another child, Wang Caixia has actually sent back all the living expenses that Gu Chen used to send back to the elderly couple, plus the red envelopes for the child, totaling several hundred yuan.
Lin Yuxi narrowed her eyes. "Okay, I'll go home and visit then."
She wondered how far the sweet potato propagation had progressed, and thought she could take this opportunity to visit the Xinxing Farm and see how Zhuang Zhenhua was doing.
“If there isn’t enough time, I’ll take a few more days off. But I’ll probably be busier during that time, and you’ll have to work hard for a while.” Gu Chen felt guilty. His child was a few months old, and if it weren’t for Jiang Shufen’s help, he really wouldn’t have been able to manage on his own.
So he does have self-awareness. After a simple and warm gesture, he put on an apron and went into the kitchen to cook.
"We're almost out of honeycomb briquettes at home. I'll have them bring some over tomorrow. Go sit outside and relax for a while. The food will be ready soon."
Gu Chen started cooking as soon as he got home, while Lin Yuxi sat in the living room watching TV.
Jiang Shufen and He Cuiping walked back side by side after pushing their child out to play.
Commissar Wang next door is also doing better. He has started learning to cook. He Cuiping doesn't care. If Gu Chen can do it, why can't he?
Commissar Wang is at least better than the other men in the family compound. He is willing to correct his mistakes and learn from them. Moreover, he has always felt guilty towards He Cuiping, since a family is maintained by two people. He will definitely learn from He Cuiping's suggestions and make corrections.
But Gu Chen has so many tricks up his sleeve, there's no way he could learn them all. He put in a lot of effort just to learn how to wash dishes and cook.
"You poured too much soy sauce into this dish. It's nowhere near as good as Gu Chen's. You really should learn from him and set a good example as a father." He Cuiping's comments were merciless, each sentence more hurtful than the last.
Political Commissar Wang dared not refute.
Upon hearing that Gu Chen had taken a long leave to go back to his hometown, Political Commissar Wang thought he was relieved. However, when he returned home, He Cuiping also asked him to take leave to go back.
Lin Yuxi's job was easy. She used to work from nine to four, but she was so idle at the factory that she would usually fall asleep on her desk after finishing her work. Gao Kangcheng was worried that she would get tired, so he gave all the employees two days off.
"I heard our data was very successful, with almost no deviation. We have to thank Xiaolin a lot. After we submit this set of data, we'll bring our families and have a meal out to treat ourselves. After so much hard work, we've finally achieved a major result."
Lin Yuxi shook her head and refused, "Director Gao, I won't go. I was planning to take a long leave after finishing this today. I need to go back to my hometown and take about half a month off."
Half a month!
Gao Kangcheng's eyes turned red.
"Xiao Lin, you're not not coming, are you?" Gao Kangcheng suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
After all, Lin Yuxi had promised him four months of work, so this sudden leave caught him completely off guard. Could it be that someone had heard about their team's precious talent and secretly poached him?
"No, we are really going back to our hometown. The letter of introduction has been prepared, and our whole family is going back."
