The rumbling washing machines had practically become a tourist attraction in the textile factory. Sister Ji was practically sitting there, with Sister Ji bringing her a small chair so she could sit with her legs crossed and collect admission fees.
After Wen Minting and her companions came to visit, they said dismissively, "What's so surprising about this? I've seen this thing at my relatives' house in Beidu. You country bumpkins."
She crossed her arms in front of her chest, held her head high, and looked disdainful, thinking they were really ignorant.
The timid girl standing next to her couldn't help but tug at her sleeve. She was really annoyed. Wen Minting's personality was always offending people. No matter what, everyone was in high spirits, but she just had to pour cold water on them. Wasn't she just making everyone uncomfortable?
She frowned. She had originally thought that since she and Wen Minting were classmates, they could look out for each other in this unfamiliar factory. However, in such a short time, Wen Minting had managed to offend most of the people.
The Wen family is well-off and has a strong support system. She herself had worked very hard to get this job, and she valued it extremely. She didn't want anything to happen because of Wen Minting.
Wen Minting was tugged by her, and turned her head, muttering in confusion, "Why are you pulling me? I'm just telling the truth."
Sister-in-law Ji and the others were stunned by Wen Minting's actions. They usually spoke ill of others behind their backs, so when someone suddenly called them country bumpkins to their faces, they were genuinely taken aback.
Girl, you're doing things a bit unpredictably...
Aunt Ji slapped her hand on the newly built sink with a loud "smack," and started hitting the washing machine. Of course, she couldn't bear to part with it…
Ouch, I almost grimaced; I used too much force and my hand hurts.
This must be what Xiaofan was talking about, the reaction force...
But that's not important for now. What's it called? You can't lose face, right? So you swallowed the pain and clicked your tongue, saying, "Oh, I saw it at my relative's house in Beidu. Do you have one at home? Can you use it anytime?"
Sister-in-law Ji raised her chin even higher, just like Wen Minting.
Wen Minting's smile froze for a moment. Of course not. Her relative valued that thing extremely highly and only let her touch it. Naturally, her family didn't have one either.
Noticing her discomfort, the others mimicked her manner and sneered, "You country bumpkin..."
...
Wen Minting discovered that since coming to this factory, things were completely different from what she had imagined. Instead of getting better and better, she kept making a fool of herself.
How could she possibly stay? She clenched her fists and almost stomped her feet in frustration before turning and running away, her face flushed with embarrassment.
While waiting for the parts to be manufactured, Fan Xiaofan also took the time to perfect the blueprints for the parts. He also read the books he had borrowed from Zhan Yuan'an.
Unfortunately, these five or six books were what Zhan Yuan'an had tried her best to find according to Fan Xiaofan's request, but there wasn't much information about Fu Weidong's condition. She finished reading them quickly, as the treatment of this disease was still an unfamiliar field.
As the old Chinese medicine doctor said, some people believe that a drastic change in a person's temperament is due to evil spirits, while some enlightened doctors have proposed the speculation that it is a way for the person to protect their personality.
After reading all the books, Fan Xiaofan sent them back, and also sent Zhan Yuan'an some dried meat and honey.
In the northern capital, these scarce foods are a rare treat. In the current climate, having enough to eat is a difficult thing. Even the Fan family, who are considered high-income earners, only eat a slightly thicker porridge.
