"I'm fine, I was only locked up for a few hours, boss, don't worry," Hu Lin said with a smile.
She was really fine, and those people didn't do anything to her; they just kept asking her about the hygiene of the shop.
Moreover, the language used was suggestive, seemingly implying that she should conclude that there was a problem with the store's hygiene.
But how could that be possible? The boss kept emphasizing it, and she kept paying attention, requiring her employees every day that the store's hygiene must meet the standards.
That's why she was imprisoned for so long—because she told the truth, but those people didn't believe her.
Later, for some reason, someone suddenly told her that she could leave.
Later, she went back to the shop.
"Are you really alright?" Song Lili was very worried, afraid that Hu Lin might have some psychological trauma. After all, in people's minds nowadays, only people with problems would go to such a place.
They had no idea that this might also be an innocent problem.
That's why Song Lili asked that question and why she was so worried.
"I'm really fine." Hu Lin looked at Song Lili's worried expression, then changed the subject, "I'm just a little tired."
Hu Lin was deeply moved. Her boss's concern for her made her feel like she and her boss were family.
Without realizing it, a sense of closeness was revealed.
"Then go back and get some rest. Don't go to work today. We'll see how things go tomorrow," Song Lili said immediately.
It's already evening, and I don't know if Hu Lin will be able to adjust tomorrow.
Song Lili decided to treat it as a break for her, to let her relax and clear her head.
"You'll get paid these few days, so take a good rest," Song Lili said as Hu Lin left.
This was also to allow Hu Lin to rest in peace.
"Okay," Hu Lin glanced at Song Lili before leaving.
The employees who witnessed this scene had different thoughts.
Seeing that Hu Lin had returned, the staff were relieved and went about their duties, serving the customers in the store.
Although such a thing happened in the store, it didn't get out, and Song Lili didn't even know how it happened.
So, seeing that the store wasn't affected, they let everyone continue working.
Since Hu Lin wasn't there, she couldn't leave work early. She waited until everyone had left and the cleaning was finished before closing the door and leaving.
It was already around 10 p.m. at this time.
As Song Lili walked across the street corner, she saw someone approaching from afar.
That familiar walking posture and familiar figure made her recognize who it was in an instant.
"Lili?" A voice came from ahead.
"It's me," Song Lili replied with a smile, as if all the fatigue of the day had vanished, leaving only that person, that figure, and that familiar voice.
My heart was also enveloped in a warm temperature, feeling cozy and comfortable.
"Hurry home, it's very late."
Zhang Qinghua didn't ask Song Lili why she was going home so late, not because he didn't care, but because he felt that wasn't the most important thing right now.
The most important thing now is to get your wife home, have dinner, and get some rest.
Although Song Lili's expression showed no problem, Zhang Qinghua could tell that she was in a bad mood.
So aside from matters concerning the store, Zhang Qinghua didn't think about anything else.
Therefore, I'm even less inclined to ask.
"Didn't you eat?" When the two returned home, everyone else was already asleep, except for one light still on in the yard, which was left on for the two of them.
Song Lili touched her stomach, which had just rumbled, and nodded. "Something happened at the store today, so I didn't have time."
Zhang Qinghua didn't ask Song Lili; instead, she spoke up first.
"Then sit down for a while, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles," Zhang Qinghua said gently.
"You can cook?" Song Lili looked at Zhang Qinghua suspiciously. She knew he couldn't cook at all, let alone make noodles.
"I still know how to do it, so just wait here without worry." Zhang Qinghua smiled indulgently at Song Lili's suspicious gaze.
"Alright then." Song Lili nodded, thinking to herself, "I've watched her cook for so long, she's learned how to cook by watching, so making noodles shouldn't be a problem."
So I waited patiently.
Zhang Qinghua was a bit slow; he only came out with a bowl of noodles when Song Lili and the others started to yawn.
"Are you getting impatient? Okay, hurry up and eat, then go and rest." Zhang Qinghua placed the bowl in front of Song Lili.
Song Lili looked down and found that the noodles in the bowl looked pretty good.
The noodles lay neatly in the bowl, each strand distinct, and the broth was clear, with chopped scallions floating on top. It looked quite appetizing.
"It looks delicious," Song Lili said, and couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks to try it.
"Then you should try it." Zhang Qinghua patted Song Lili's head and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Song Lili wondered, what was he doing in the kitchen?
However, she was completely focused on her appearance at the moment, so I didn't pay much attention.
She ate less today because she was really hungry. Although Zhang Qinghua's noodles weren't the best they'd ever tasted, they were still quite good.
Her taste buds were immediately awakened, and she felt hungry, so she hurriedly started eating.
She only looked up in surprise when a plate of cold shredded potatoes and a plate of stir-fried green peppers with pork were placed in front of her.
She saw Zhang Qinghua smiling at her, "I just learned how to do this, so I'm a little slow. Try it and see how it turns out." There was a hint of anticipation in Zhang Qinghua's eyes.
Song Lili's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. When did he learn to cook? How come she had no idea?
Did she overlook how amazing he is?
I felt a little guilty.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it not tasty? If it's not tasty, then don't eat it, just throw it away."
As he spoke, Zhang Qinghua reached out, intending to take away and throw away all the food on the table. He felt a little regretful, wondering why he hadn't done it well this time.
Song Lili quickly grabbed Zhang Qinghua's arm, "No, no, it's not bad, it's delicious."
She wanted to say that this was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.
"Let it go, I was just... just a little surprised..." She suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say anything else.
"Then you should try it," Zhang Qinghua smiled, already confident. He didn't say much, just smiled and watched Song Lili eat.
Song Lili sniffed, suppressing the overwhelming emotions in her heart, and continued eating with her head down.
She had thought it was just a bowl of noodles, which was already very touching, but she never expected there would be another surprise.
Zhang Qinghua had actually learned to cook, which was a huge surprise for her on such a terrible day.
Suddenly, I realized that all the things I'd encountered weren't really problems, and everything would gradually get better.
