Chapter 98 Why Different Treatments
Huang Ling and Zhou Huailan chose the same day to take a day off after finishing their shift, which happened to be two days off including Sunday.
She arrived at the gate of the military compound and Zhou Huailan met her at the door.
Huang Ling first went to Commander Feng's house to get the test papers completed by her children for correction. The nanny at home was very enthusiastic when she saw her. She gave her tea, sugar and fruit, and insisted that she sit for a while before letting her go. This must have been something Commander Feng had instructed her to do before.
Before leaving, she handed the two children's test papers, which were placed in a yellow manila file bag, to Huang Ling.
Children from this kind of family are really well-behaved.
Then, Huang Ling followed Zhou Huailan back home and prepared to teach Zhou Huailan how to make TV covers and refrigerator covers.
"Brother! Sister Ling is here!" Zhou Huailan shouted as soon as he entered the yard.
Huang Ling glanced at Zhou Huailan in confusion: "Your brother is also taking a break?"
"Yes, it's just right to make lunch for us." Zhou Huailan replied.
Zhou Huaiyi walked out of the house and his eyes lit up when he saw Huang Ling.
She wore a black shirt with white polka dots on the upper body, and a bright red mohair sweater on the outside. The intricate bow on the shirt exposed her hair outside the sweater, which looked beautiful like a decoration. She paired it with black flared pants and mid-heeled black leather shoes.
The shoulder-length hair is slightly curled and draped over the shoulders.
Gentle, intellectual and a little sexy, really beautiful.
Before, I saw her wearing factory work clothes or simple clothes. This is the first time I saw her dressed so fashionably.
Zhou Huailan stared at his brother with his eyes wide open, and hurriedly said, "Brother, go buy some groceries!"
"Oh, I'll go right away. Huang Ling, come in and sit down. What would you like to eat?" Zhou Huaiyi then retracted his gaze and asked.
Huang Ling smiled and replied, "I'm not picky. I'll just make Director Zhou's specialty! Huailan said your cooking is delicious."
"Oh, okay! Then I'll go buy some groceries." Zhou Huaiyi blushed and left the house.
Huang Ling saw him carrying a basket of vegetables and pushing his bicycle out the door.
Zhou Huailan took her to visit her home.
Their yard is more than twice as big as the one Huang Ling and Song Ying live in now.
It is a 冂-shaped house with the living room to the north, a room on each side of the living room, a room and a small utility room to the west, and a kitchen and toilet to the east.
"I live in the room on the west side of the living room, and my brother lives in the room on the east side. There's a living room in the middle so we don't disturb each other."
"That's great! If this house was in the factory, at least three families would live there."
The two walked into the yard. The yard was not paved with bricks, but with cement. The iron gate of the yard was also opened wide so that cars could drive in.
When my parents were alive, they were both given a car. Both of them died in a car accident while on business trips.
There is a narrow flower bed along the wall, but it is not planted with vegetables, but flowers.
Huang Ling went over to take a look. Now that the season was beginning to get warmer, the roses already had small green buds.
"My brother is quite romantic, isn't he!" Zhou Huailan said proudly.
"That's true. You have to plant some onions anyway. It's not worth buying them."
"Hahahaha! There's some in the corner over there in the kitchen! Who would go out to buy onions?" Zhou Huailan pointed to the corner of the east wall.
Huang Ling looked over and saw that there was indeed a small piece of green onion, and she also smiled.
The two went into the house to make a TV cover.
The sewing machine was placed in an empty room on the west side. There was also a table in the room with drawings drawn by Zhou Huailan on it, as well as some cutting tools and scraps of cloth. It seemed that she was learning seriously.
Huang Ling brought the cloth, measured the sizes of the refrigerator and TV, and then started making it.
The door was open. Zhou Huaiyi came back after buying vegetables. While putting his bicycle away, he looked into the house. Huang Ling was helping Zhou Huailan sort out the cloth.
She is very focused and serious when doing things, her eyes are bright and she always looks confident.
Zhou Huaiyi's heart was dazed again.
At this moment, Huang Ling just raised her head, looked at him and smiled at him. He hurriedly put away his little emotions and fled into the kitchen.
My heart was still pounding as I entered the kitchen.
He remembered the last time such a situation happened was when he first held a gun and confronted a gangster.
Uh...it seems that this comparison is not right...
"Do you need help?"
Huang Ling's voice sounded behind Zhou Huaiyi, startling him so much that he almost cried out.
"No... no need... you're a guest..."
"It's okay. Huailan said she got nervous when I was next to her and pushed me out. Let me help. Let me shell the edamame!" Huang Ling rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the edamame pods.
Zhou Huaiyi quickly snatched it away: "No, pick the vegetables! My hands are sore from peeling edamame."
"Director Zhou, have you forgotten that I am a female worker in the textile workshop? My hand is thicker than this soybean shell." Huang Ling stretched out her hand in front of Zhou Huaiyi.
Although he doesn't work in the workshop now, his hands are no match for Zhou Huailan's, who has never done heavy work.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the hands with some distress, but still took the edamame and pointed at the golden cauliflower and said, "Let me do it, you pick the vegetables."
For goldenrod, you only need to look for weeds, there is nothing to pick.
While Huang Ling was preparing the vegetables, Zhou Huaiyi moved a small stool and sat next to her to peel edamame.
There was silence at first.
Zhou Huaiyi wanted to find a topic. His sister had scolded him last time. Why did he bring up raising pigs? What should he talk about this time?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Has the Zhuang family caused you any trouble recently?"
"No, they have more trouble themselves." Huang Ling answered casually.
"Hmm" Zhou Huaiyi asked in doubt.
"I heard that they are planning to spend a lot of money to rescue Zhuang Ganmei." Huang Ling told Zhou Huaiyi without hiding anything.
Zhou Huaiyi sneered, "Let's wait and see if he's capable of that! Anyway, the factory has already issued a report on the situation and a notice of his dismissal."
Huang Ling also smiled: "Yes, let's wait and see."
"If he can be fished out, I can send him back in." Zhou Huaiyi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Huang Ling looked at him sideways.
Uh...why does it feel a bit sinister?
"Director Zhou..."
"You call Zhiqiang "Brother Ma" and you call me "Director Zhou"... Can you tell me why you treat me differently?"
Huang Ling was stunned. "I... don't have any reason! It's just that I called you that the first time I saw you, and I've been calling you that ever since."
"Then why did you call Zhiqiang Comrade Ma the first time and change it later?"
“…”
"Well, since you're not treating me any differently from him, you can call me Brother Zhou from now on."
"I...can't say it...I feel like you're not my big brother..."
Zhou Huaiyi's face turned green, but he controlled his expression and said, "Okay, what did you want to ask just now?"
"Director Zhou..., you should have quite a few comrades at the police station or the municipal bureau..."
"Both. If they have any news about the Zhuang family, I'll tell you as soon as possible."
"Uh... not right away, I'm just curious..."
"Okay, I see. Do you want a chocolate popsicle?"
