Chapter 103: Saving Face



After Xu Jiajia and the pregnant woman Li Pingle got to know each other, she went to the Propaganda Department with her.

When a colleague saw Li Pingle bringing a stranger, he asked curiously, "Secretary Li, who is this relative of yours? She's quite good-looking. Is she in a relationship? Does she have a job?"

Li Pingle smiled and replied, "She's my second aunt's granddaughter. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and my husband is worried that it will be inconvenient for me to move around, so he asked her to come and help me."

My colleague was speechless. These days, everyone works until they have children. Young people nowadays are so pretentious: "How much do you give her per month?"

Of course Li Pingle would not tell the truth. She blinked and said mischievously, "Guess."

colleague:"……"

Li Pingle didn't look at her colleague's distorted face. She pulled Xu Jiajia aside and told her about her daily work: "Our Propaganda Department is not as busy as other departments. We usually put up the blackboard, write manuscripts, etc., but these are also divided into different tasks.

My task is to write articles, usually one a week. Once you're done, you give it to the head of the publicity department to review. If she says it's okay, it's okay. If not, you have to rewrite it."

Xu Jiajia nodded, indicating that she understood: "Are there any other jobs?"

Li Pingle shook his head: "My job is simple, that's all."

Xu Jiajia: "Writing can't be done behind closed doors. Can I go out and look around?"

Li Pingle: "As long as the manuscript is good, everything will be fine."

Li Pingle finished the work.

He walked away with a relaxed look on his face.

On the first day of Xu Jiajia's class, she was eating melon seeds and reading the newspaper, feeling extremely relaxed.

[Guagua, is there something wrong with Xiaoyao's team leader? ]

[Host, without her melon, I wouldn't know either.]

Xu Jiajia rubbed her chin and muttered softly: "It seems that you can't help this time, you have to rely on yourself!"

[Host, I'm just a melon-eating system, not a crime-solving system. However, since she doesn't have any melons on her, she's probably not a traitor.]

[Maybe it's too far away for you to feel it.]

Guagua paused for a few seconds before speaking.

[It's not impossible. Find an opportunity to get closer to her and see if you can dig out the melon.]

[Okay, I'll find an opportunity.]

There is a canteen in the machinery factory.

But the living standard is not as good as that of the Public Security Bureau.

Here we only eat meat once a week.

The Public Security Bureau did it at least twice.

Sometimes there are also lamb, chicken, duck and so on.

Not to mention the living standards, even in terms of cooking skills, the Public Security Bureau is much better.

Having been used to the food in the Public Security Bureau cafeteria, Xu Jiajia's appetite decreased when she saw the food here.

Xu Jianguo sat across from Xu Jiajia. Seeing that she looked like she had trouble swallowing, he asked with concern, "Don't you like the food in the cafeteria?"

Xu Jiajia didn't tell the truth: "No, I ate too much today, and my stomach is still full."

These days when we can’t even get enough to eat, who cares about taste?

Telling the truth might lead to dissatisfaction from others.

As they were talking, Xu Jiajia picked up some food and gave it to Xu Jianguo: "Eat more."

Xu Jianguo's colleagues from several departments were surprised to see Xu Jiajia in the cafeteria: "Brother Xu, is your daughter here too?"

Xu Jianguo nodded: "Yes, my daughter is covering for a relative."

"No, my girl is not at..." A colleague had seen Xu Jiajia wearing a police uniform before and knew that she worked at the Public Security Bureau.

Xu Jianguo was afraid that the traitor hiding in the shadows might hear this, so he quickly interrupted his colleague: "I wanted to improve my reputation before, so I lied to you. In fact, she was also filling in for the cleaner."

My colleague was dumbfounded: "Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to be so proud. I thought your daughter really worked there, and I was showing off everywhere."

Xu Jianguo just kept smiling awkwardly.

That's not about saving face, that's the truth, but I can't say anything now.

"Um, don't tell anyone else about this."

My colleague gave me an expression that said, "I, I understand."

Isn't it just that he's afraid that others will say he's too concerned about his reputation?

He just doesn't say anything.

Xu Jianguo: “…”

When Xu Jiajia got home from get off work, Mrs. Xu immediately came to greet her: "Jiajia, you've changed to a new job. Are you adapting well?"

Xu Jiajia, who had been fishing all day, said: "Except for the food in the cafeteria, everything else is okay.

Grandma, I'll bring some food tomorrow."

Anyway, eating in the cafeteria costs money.

Old Mrs. Xu nodded: "Okay, tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

Xu Jiajia hugged Old Lady Xu from behind: "Grandma, you are so kind!"

Mrs. Xu was a reserved old lady. When Xu Jiajia hugged her like this, her ears turned red, but she was very happy in her heart: "You are my granddaughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

When Shen Yuebai came back in the evening, he also asked Xu Jiajia if she had adapted to the machinery factory, and she replied with the same question.

Shen Yuebai looked at Xu Jiajia, who was glowing white, and said, “Starting tomorrow, I will get up early, cook a few dishes for you, and bring them to the factory to eat.”

Xu Jiajia's eyes were filled with emotion, and she couldn't help but kiss Chen Yuebai's cheek: "Thank you, I feel so happy, whether it's my family or you, you all love me so much."

Shen Yuebai hugged Xu Jiajia's waist, tapped her nose, and smiled dotingly: "You are my wife, of course I spoil you. In fact, I should say thank you. It is you who made me feel the warmth of home, and it is you who made me know that I am happy."

The two snuggled together.

The bright moonlight shone through the window onto the two of them, shining with a hazy light, as if they were bathing in the moonlight.

The army is recruiting again.

After Chen Ji finished his physical examination, he came out and saw the people in line. He was surprised: "You, don't you have a job? Why are you here too?"
