Chapter 143 I Never Hesitated
It is now late September and the weather is getting cooler.
Zhou Huaiyi came to inform Huang Ling excitedly that the work at home was about to start.
Huang Ling was not at home, Song Ying was not at home, and the children were not at home either. Only Lin Wufeng was sleeping at home.
Lin Wufeng had been working non-stop for several weeks without a single day off. This Sunday, he finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a good rest.
Huang Ling and Song Ying were afraid that the children would disturb Mr. Lin's rest at home, so they took their four children to the park for a picnic.
Zhou Huaiyi said embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'll go to the park to find them."
"It's okay, I've been sleeping for most of the day, go ahead!"
Zhou Huaiyi arrived at the park and quickly found Huang Ling and the others.
They spread a tarpaulin on the grass, and Huang Ling, Song Ying and Xiao Ting were sitting on it. The three boys were nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Huaiyi walked over.
Xiao Ting was the first to see him and waved at him: "Uncle Zhou!"
Zhou Huaiyi also waved to Xiaoting.
When I walked over, I saw fruits and snacks placed in the middle of the oilcloth.
Fried chicken wings, fried bread cubes coated with egg liquid, fried potato chips, braised vegetables, and several kinds of fruits.
Huang Ling was a little surprised to see him coming.
She had previously declined Zhou Huaiyi's invitation to meet on Sunday.
"It's just a picnic, why can't you take me with you?" Zhou Huaiyi said with a smile.
Song Ying stood up and pulled Xiao Ting up: "Xiao Ting, accompany Aunt Song to the lake to take a look!"
After watching the two people leave, Zhou Huaiyi sat down next to Huang Ling.
"Comrade Huang Ling, if I have done something wrong that requires punishment and I cannot see you, can you please tell me directly? I promise to change."
Huang Ling shook her head: "You didn't do anything wrong, I just want to give you a little more time to think about it."
"What to consider"
"Consider whether to marry me or become a leader in the Industrial Bureau."
"I haven't even told you about this, which means I've already thought it through! If I were still hesitant, how could I have fooled you? You have eyes that are sharper than a scout's."
Zhou Huaiyi was frank and looked directly at Huang Ling.
He knew that Huang Ling was so sensitive that she would be able to detect it if he retreated or hesitated at all.
"But not everyone has this opportunity."
"I don't think so."
"Oh what do you think?"
"First of all, I'm too straightforward and tough. Being the director of a machinery factory has already exhausted all my tact and sophistication. If I went to the Industrial Bureau, I wouldn't necessarily have a good career."
Huang Ling nodded in agreement: "Secondly..."
"Secondly, I think the career plan you gave me is more attractive to me."
Huang Ling smiled. She had a good memory and still remembered that it was called "career planning."
"so......."
"Hey, our marriage isn't just a second matter, it's the most important thing," Zhou Huaiyi knew what she was going to say and interrupted Huang Ling to continue, "The most important thing is, I can't stop marrying you just because I'm going to be transferred to the Industrial Bureau."
Huang Ling looked at him and said, "What if the career plan I mentioned doesn't work?"
"I have no hesitation about this matter. Even if my abilities would allow me to thrive in the Industry Bureau, and even if you didn't offer me any attractive career plans, I wouldn't hesitate at all."
"What do your aunt and uncle think?"
“How dare I tell them!”
Huang Ling was stunned.
"If I ask for their opinions, Auntie will definitely think I'm hesitant, that I'm giving up on you for some rubbish job at the Industrial Bureau. Then she'll beat me to death! While she's smoking, Uncle will help count. When she gets tired, he'll take over."
Huang Ling was about to die of laughter: "Then I'm going to ask my auntie!"
"Go ask. I came to you today to tell you that the house construction can start the day after tomorrow. Aunt and uncle will be staying over to help tomorrow. Bring Xiaoting over for dinner after get off work tonight and ask about it. I'll make you some braised bamboo shoots. Song Ying is worried that your stomach might be upset, so she hasn't let you cook them for a month!"
Huang Ling nodded heavily, but she suddenly said seriously:
"I have one more thing to say."
Zhou Huaiyi adjusted his body, turned to face Huang Ling, and answered seriously: "Well, go ahead."
"If you've made up your mind about this, then no matter what difficulties we encounter or arguments in the future, you can't bring this up. You can't say, 'If it weren't for marrying you, I might have been the director of the Industrial Bureau, if it weren't for marrying you, I would have done this and that.'
I can’t bear that, and I don’t want to. I hope we get married just because we love each other, not for anything else.”
Zhou Huaiyi shook her hand and promised: "I understand...but..."
"Just what?" Huang Ling asked nervously.
"It's just that I didn't expect that you had so little confidence in me, Xiaoling. You were actually afraid that I wouldn't be firm... Is it because I haven't done well enough and haven't given you enough confidence? It's all my fault..."
"Director Zhou, you are really, really good. I think you are quite suitable for the job of the Industrial Bureau. Why don't you give it a try?"
Zhou Huaiyi held her hand tightly and shook his head: "Now that we've finished talking about business, can I have something to eat?"
"I didn't have lunch!"
"I've been running around to several places with Brother Ma, and now I'm here to find you after I've finalized the workers' situation!"
Huang Ling rummaged through the big bag and found a lunch box and handed it to Zhou Huaiyi.
Zhou Huaiyi opened the box and saw that it was fried rice with egg.
"Bringing fried rice for a picnic, you're so awesome...you...why do I feel like you knew I was coming to find you or...you subconsciously wanted me to come to you." Zhou Huaiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Huang Ling.
"This is prepared in case they don't have enough snacks." Huang Ling shook her head and stuffed the spoon into Zhou Huaiyi's hand.
"oh."
Zhou Huaiyi took a bite and continued:
"It's not for Xiaoting, Xiaoting doesn't eat green beans, it's not for Tunan, Tunan doesn't eat fatty meat, and it's definitely not for Pengfei, Pengfei doesn't eat onions. It should be prepared specifically for Dongzhe! Hey, why is there fermented black beans in it? Dongzhe doesn't eat fermented black beans! It seems like only I can eat this meal!"
"Song Ying and I can't eat it!"
"Yes, yes." Zhou Huaiyi responded and started eating voraciously.
"Look at you, how is it possible that you like everything they don't like?" Huang Ling glared at him.
"Hey, they're picky eaters, not me! I eat what they eat, and I also eat what they don't eat. I'm the best behaved and the easiest."
"You are the most stubborn! I once thought you were not good at speaking, but I didn't expect you to talk so much. Eat quickly!" Huang Ling bit her lip and smiled.
After eating, Zhou Huaiyi lay down on the oilcloth and chatted with Huang Ling.
At this time, several children came back with a kite in their hands.
Someone must have been selling them in the park, and Song Ying bought them.
The four children pulled, ran, and cooperated for several rounds, but they just couldn't fly well.
Huang Ling muttered, "The wind direction seems to be right!"
"It has nothing to do with the wind direction. The frame is too heavy and the area exposed to the wind is too small, so it can't fly." Zhou Huaiyi said firmly.
"Ah! What kind of skills does that guy have to sell kites?"
"He must be selling more than one kite, right? But look up in the sky, is there a kite?"
"Hahahahahaha, if I were following you, you definitely wouldn't buy it! You know it can't fly."
"No, I will buy them, just to make them happy. Besides, failure is experience. Next time, they will know what kind of kite can't fly."
Huang Ling looked at him and chuckled.
