Chapter 273 I Can Predict
As the sun sets, a family of three walks slowly home along the path in the park.
Little Taozi was skipping and jumping in the middle, holding her father in one hand and her mother in the other.
"Mom, are you still going to work tomorrow?" Little Taozi asked, looking up at her little face.
Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen smiled at each other.
Lu Liangchen squatted down and looked at her daughter levelly: "Mom has to go to work tomorrow, but from now on I will be home on time every day to have dinner with Xiao Taozi."
"Really?" Little Peach's eyes sparkled.
"Really." Jiang Haitang also squatted down and gently hugged her daughter, "Mom promises you."
On the first day back at work, colleagues were genuinely happy to see Jiang Haitang had recovered so well, and couldn't help but applaud.
"Engineer Jiang, you're finally back!" Li Jingcheng said excitedly, "The manuals for the new German equipment are all in a foreign language. We can't understand them, and we're worried that the translation they gave us is inaccurate.
Jiang Haitang took the thick stack of information with a smile: "Let me see."
At noon, Jiang Haitang got off work on time and went home to prepare dinner, which surprised other colleagues.
Duan Changhe asked in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, are you leaving get off work on time today?"
You know, Jiang Haitang rarely gets off work on time.
"I promised Xiao Taozi that I would go home and cook for her in the future." After Jiang Haitang said this, she strode away.
"Why does it feel like Jiang Gong has become a different person?"
"Could it be that after being ill, his mentality has changed?"
Li Jingcheng and Duan Changhe talked for a few words and then turned to go to the cafeteria.
When she was about to return home, Jiang Haitang saw Liu Hongmei.
"Sister Hongmei." Jiang Haitang greeted immediately.
"Are you back to work? How do you feel?" Liu Hongmei asked with a smile. In fact, she could tell from Jiang Haitang's complexion.
"Well, it's not bad. I feel much more relaxed." Jiang Haitang smiled, with a brighter look on her face.
"It turns out that getting enough rest is effective. You, on the other hand, work too hard." Liu Hongmei said, "Ever since you came to our factory, you've been working so hard, as if you'd be letting anyone down if you slacked off for even a moment."
Jiang Haitang smiled faintly and said, "I used to have this thought. I always felt that it was not easy for a country girl like me to get a job, so I worked a little harder."
This is of course only one of the reasons. Since her rebirth, she has been trying too hard to break away from the trajectory of her previous life.
"I will not work overtime unless there are special circumstances."
"It's time to do this!" Liu Hongmei said approvingly, "Do you plan to focus on your family in the future?"
"Liangchen said that a person not only has family and work, but also himself. He asked me to do something I like."
When Jiang Haitang said this, there was sweetness in her eyes and brows, and Liu Hongmei couldn't help but click her tongue twice.
"Oh my, it's different when someone loves you!"
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived home.
Jiang Haitang was washing her hands and cooking when little Taozi heard the noise and came running back from next door, happily shouting, "Mom, Mom!"
"My dear, shall we eat scallion pancakes today?" Jiang Haitang asked with a gentle smile.
"Okay, okay, let's have scallion pancakes, and I also want egg soup." Little Peach said, clapping her hands.
"Okay, then can you go to the backyard and pick a tomato for Mom and a bunch of green onions?"
After hearing what her mother said, Little Peach immediately rushed to the backyard.
Soon, she came back with a bunch of green onions with two tomatoes on top.
"Mom, I picked two tomatoes. Can I have one?"
"Of course you can, but you can only eat half. If you eat it all, you won't be able to eat anymore." Jiang Haitang said to Xiao Taozi while kneading the dough.
The little guy agreed obediently, then washed the tomatoes in a small basin of water and brought them over happily.
"Mom, let's each have half. I chose the reddest one, which must be sweet."
Jiang Haitang looked at her little daughter's bright face, her heart melted, and she kissed the little girl hard on the face.
Quiet days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Jiang Haitang's spirits were getting better and better. One day, she had just returned from the department store after buying something when she saw the postman at the factory gate.
The gatekeeper saw Jiang Haitang and immediately called out, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, here's a letter from Director Lu and a parcel list."
Jiang Haitang hurried over.
The postman asked, "Is this you?"
"This is Director Lu's wife. It's okay to give it to her." The doorman smiled and handed the letter and parcel list to Jiang Haitang.
When Jiang Haitang returned home, Lu Liangchen was at home helping Xiao Taozi learn to read. The two of them asked and answered questions, and it seemed that the learning effect was quite good.
Jiang Haitang handed the letter to Lu Liangchen and said, "Liangchen, this is a letter from home and a parcel slip. I wonder what they've sent us."
"Dad, what is this?" Little Taozi stood on tiptoe and looked at the envelope in her father's hand curiously.
"These are letters sent by my grandparents and great-grandfather, as well as things for us." Lu Liangchen smiled and touched his daughter's head.
"Is there anything delicious?" The little guy seemed to have a special liking for food, and his first question was about food.
Lu Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there is. Dad will take Xiao Taozi to get it back this afternoon."
"Yeah, Peach wants to go with daddy."
While the two were talking, Lu Liangchen had already opened the envelope.
"Haitang, Grandpa also wrote us a letter, come and read it."
Jiang Haitang was putting the things she bought into order when she heard Lu Liangchen calling her. She immediately put down her things and ran over.
The letter was written by Lu's father. The handwriting was neat and powerful, with a bit of the seriousness of an old cadre. It basically asked about the disaster situation here and their living conditions. By the way, he mentioned that He Wanyi had prepared some supplies for them, roughly what they contained, and asked them to take good care of their health, etc.!
After reading the letter, the two adults felt warm in their hearts. This was the concern of their parents who were far away in the capital for their little family.
Little Taozi tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Grandma prepared something delicious for me. I heard it."
Lu Liangchen and Jiang Haitang couldn't help laughing. Kids are good. As long as there is delicious food, everything is easy to talk about.
There was another letter in the same envelope, sent by Jiang Haitang's grandfather Jiang Guozhu.
Jiang Guozhu's letter was written in a simple style, with the handwriting a little crooked, and not very nice, but it had a sense of dominance.
What Grandpa Jiang said was basically the same as what Lu's parents said. He just said greetings and asked them to take good care of their health. He also said that he had sent them some things so that the three of them would not suffer from poor health.
After reading the letter, both of them fell silent.
Jiang Guozhu is old and not in good health. As his only granddaughter, Jiang Haitang has been in the northwest and cannot be with Jiang Guozhu. Jiang Haitang feels that she is unfilial.
"Haitang, should we submit a report to transfer back to the capital, or should you transfer back first?" Lu Liangchen asked.
Jiang Haitang hesitated for a moment and said, "Next year."
Next year, many policies will change, which will make it more suitable for them to return to Beijing.
Although he didn't know why, Lu Liangchen always felt that Jiang Haitang seemed to be very obsessed with this time point next year, as if the policy would undergo major changes next year.
"Haitang, why must it be next year? Will there be any changes next year?" Lu Liangchen asked.
Jiang Haitang hesitated for a long time before speaking: "If I say that I can predict some things that will happen in the future, would you believe it?"
Lu Liangchen didn't expect Jiang Haitang to give him such an answer. He didn't say a word for a long time.
The room was so quiet for a moment that the only sound was the rustling sound of Xiao Taozi flipping through the comic books.
Lu Liangchen put down the letter in his hand, looked deeply at Jiang Haitang, and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Haitang, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Haitang's fingers unconsciously rubbed the spatula in her hand. The water in the pot gradually became warmer, and wisps of white mist rose up, blurring her face.
She gently sent Xiao Taozi to the inner room to look at picture books, and waited until the child's footsteps faded away before she slowly spoke.
"I don't know why, but I do know that next year the political situation will undergo significant changes. Perhaps some of the mistakes made in recent years will be corrected, and the college entrance examination will be resumed the year after next. From next year to the year after, many people who were sent down to the countryside will return to the city and resume their jobs."
Jiang Haitang's voice was as light as a snowflake falling on the window frame, but she was actually very nervous.
She couldn't say she was reborn, as that was too unbelievable, but the idea of ​​predictive dreams still had a place in folk tales.
That is, what would Lu Liangchen think? Would he be disgusted by her like this? Would he think she was a monster?
But they are husband and wife, and Jiang Haitang doesn't want to have too many secrets when facing her husband.
"Is it true or false?" Lu Liangchen said that such a thing was simply unbelievable.
Jiang Haitang nodded solemnly.
The poplar trees outside the window rustled, and their mottled shadows swayed on the concrete ground.
Lu Liangchen's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly stood up to check whether the doors and windows were closed tightly, and then lifted a corner of the curtain to confirm that there was no one in the yard.
This subconscious action made Jiang Haitang's eyes hot. Even after hearing such bizarre words, his first reaction was to protect her.
"Haitang, who else have you told these things?" Lu Liangchen sat back beside her, covering her cold fingers with his warm palm.
"Only you." Jiang Haitang looked into his eyes, the worry in them was far stronger than shock.
"Sometimes I have very realistic dreams where everything in the dream actually happens later... I can even dream about future technologies."
"No matter what the reason is, Haitang, let's stop here. You don't have to say it to me anymore." Lu Liangchen said solemnly.
Jiang Haitang nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Haitang, since God has given you this ability, then you should use it. During this time, you can also enrich yourself. After all, if the policy changes, people with culture and knowledge will probably be more popular in the future."
