Chapter 177 The Worried Things Still Happened
Huang Ling and Xiaoting returned home, and Xiaoting was a little depressed.
While cooking, Zhou Huaiyi called Huang Ling to the kitchen to help.
Normally, he would definitely not let Huang Ling reach out, so when Huang Ling entered the kitchen, he asked:
"Director Zhou, is there anything you want to discuss with me privately?"
Zhou Huaiyi asked:
"What's wrong with Xiaoting? She doesn't look very happy. You criticized her again. What's your reason this time? Don't keep talking about her. The child is grown up and has..."
"Tsk, why do you act like you are the biological father and I am the stepmother?" Huang Ling interrupted him.
"What's going on?"
"You go and find out."
"I'm not comfortable with the girl, so I've already sent Wylan."
"You're awesome."
Zhou Huailan and Xiaoting were reading together. Zhou Huailan asked, "Why are you unhappy after coming back today? Tell me if anyone has offended you, and I'll beat him up! Is that Lin Dongzhe?"
Xiao Ting shook her head:
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel that not all parents in this world love their children."
"Well, what's going on?"
"I used to feel that my grandparents didn't love my dad and my aunt, oh, that aunt from the Zhuang family, and today I feel that Sister Shanshan's parents don't love her."
Zhou Huailan finally understood and touched Xiaoting's back.
"I used to have the same thoughts as you, thinking that our parents didn't love us."
Xiaoting looked at Zhou Huailan in surprise.
"But later we learned that they loved work more and their work needed them more than we did. But they entrusted us to our aunt and uncle, who loved us very much. Besides work, they still loved us very much."
Xiaoting nodded:
"Aunt, I'm very lucky, right? Me, my brother and Lin Dongzhe are all very lucky, right?"
"Of course, there are many people who love you!"
Xiaoting felt relieved and began to pay attention to a packaging box exposed under Zhou Huailan's pillow.
"Auntie, who gave you that gift?"
"No, no." Zhou Huailan reached out and pushed the box deeper.
"You are trying to cover up your mistake." Xiao Ting shook her head.
"Shh!" Zhou Huailan made a gesture to keep quiet.
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "I won't tell them who it is."
"I don't believe you!"
But she still took out the gift box, which contained a bottle of pearl cream and a bottle of jasmine perfume.
"I heard from my mother that this is a high-end product."
"Uh-huh."
Zhou Huailan opened the lid and applied some on Xiaoting's tender face.
"Let Xiaoting use the good stuff first."
As we were talking, someone called us to eat.
As soon as she arrived at the table, Huang Ling shrank her nose.
She held Xiaoting's face, sniffed it, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Huaiyi asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoting's face?"
Xiao Ting raised her head to look at Zhou Huaiyi, then shook her head: "It's okay!"
"It's not Xiaoting, it's our juicy cabbages that were eaten by the pigs." Huang Ling said with a smile.
Naturally, no one understood, so Huang Ling asked Zhou Huaiyi:
"Pearl cream, 9.8 yuan, I'm asking you to pay for it."
Zhou Huaiyi shook his head.
"But you didn't ask me for money to buy it." Huang Ling looked at this good brother.
Zhou Huaiyi understood and sighed, "Tell me, which pig is it?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Zhou Huailan said generously, "Huang Xiuyuan."
"You didn't even tell me." Huang Ling was quite surprised.
"He said he would tell you after he was transferred to the Judicial Bureau." Zhou Huailan replied.
"I heard him mention this matter, and now it has been decided." Huang Ling and Huang Xiuyuan often met, so she heard him talk about it.
He was very secretive and never mentioned Zhou Huailan in front of Huang Ling.
"Well, he told me yesterday that the transfer order has come down and I'll report next Monday."
Zhou Huailan looked at her elder brother and sister-in-law cautiously, and saw that they nodded in sync.
The two of them lay in bed at night and still hadn't fallen asleep after midnight.
Huang Ling first asked: "I can't sleep"
Zhou Huaiyi replied: "Yeah."
"Thinking about Huailan," Huang Ling sat up.
"Yes!" Zhou Huaiyi simply stood up.
"Are you satisfied or not?" Huang Ling confirmed.
"I'm satisfied. Xiuyuan is good in every aspect, including his personality, appearance, work, and family. He's also very stable."
“Then why can’t you sleep?”
"I always feel a little lost. I think Huailan is still young, like she's still Xiaoting's age. But then I think about it, she's really old enough to get married."
"I understand you. If Xiaoting gets married in the future, I will definitely think the same."
------
Everyone seemed to be very busy in the next six months.
The children started their new semester.
Huang Ling and Li Yiming are busy with various businesses.
Zhou Huaiyi was busy with the reform and opening up of the machinery factory and the cooperative construction of his own new factory.
Mr. Lin is busy with technical support work for the new factory.
Song Ying is in charge of logistics.
We are overwhelmed with foreign trade orders from Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The number of sewing machines behind the supermarket increased from four to ten, and none of them stopped working. Only the people in the alley did not work after get off work or on holidays.
In just half a year, everyone witnessed Huang Ling's planning, forecasting and negotiation abilities.
Huang Ling's pockets, which had been emptied by various investments this year, were full again by the end of the year.
The bottom was reached before the New Year.
When Song Ying got home from get off work, she saw Huang Ling still busy in the office, so she asked:
"Still busy"
"Well, tomorrow is a day off. Aren't we going to the park together? I just want to finish the work at hand."
"Then call home and have dinner with me before going back!" Song Ying didn't know how late she would be busy and was worried that she would be hungry.
"Okay, I'll check Dongzhe's recent homework."
"Don't worry about him. It's so busy at the end of the year! Let's talk about it after you finish the year-end. Then I'll go cook and call you when it's ready."
"Go ahead."
Huang Ling was busy sorting out various invoices and statements. At this moment, she felt someone standing by the window again. Without even looking up, she said:
"Just cook whatever you want, don't ask me."
Huang Ling looked up when she didn't hear Song Ying's voice.
It’s not Song Ying, it’s Pengfei.
"Auntie Huang."
"Pengfei, why are you here looking for Dongzhe?"
"No, I...I came to see you." Pengfei shook his head.
Huang Ling put down the work in her hands, waved Pengfei to come in, and pulled a stool for him to sit on.
"What is it? Tell me."
"You go to work first, I'll wait for you. I've already told my uncle to come find Dongzhe."
He could tell from standing there that Huang Ling was very busy, so he didn't speak until Huang Ling noticed him.
"It's okay, these are not important, just take your time." Huang Ling patted his shoulder.
"Uncle...it's time for the house..." Pengfei's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and his head lowered.
Huang Ling didn't respond and waited for him to speak.
"My uncle and aunt had a fight. It was...the first time they had a fight about this."
Huang Ling didn't know what to say. The thing she had been worried about finally happened.
