As Qin Nian watched her mother-in-law's retreating figure, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips before she ate the chicken leg.
Since the matter had been resolved yesterday, Qin Nian returned to her post. Dean Hu nodded, and then everyone got busy.
Because she was in a good mood, Qin Nian's work efficiency was extremely high today. She processed data very quickly and even found two errors and corrected them.
At noon, Yang Yufen ladled out the heated chicken soup and chicken meat, packed the steamed rice tightly, and finally added stir-fried greens. Then, carrying her lunchbox, she headed towards the research institute.
She came to the research institute today specifically to wait and see if Yi Mengling had apologized, and also to bring her daughter-in-law a meal.
Yang Yufen wasn't allowed to go in, but because of the proof Qin Nian had prepared for her, she was allowed in after her lunchbox was checked.
"Researcher Qin, your mother-in-law brought you some food. You can eat it and take it home tonight."
Because of the excellent efficiency today, Qin Nian dared not relax at all, and everyone was busy with her, to the point that they forgot about lunch.
Everyone's stomachs started rumbling.
Dean Hu also touched his belly.
"Let's eat first."
"Mentor, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Qin Nian took the initiative to speak up, saying that since her mother-in-law had sent the food over, she wouldn't go to the cafeteria.
"I'll stay too, please bring me one as well."
"Me too, me too!"
There were eight people in the lab, and two of them went to get food.
Everyone's in good spirits today, and no one wants to stop.
You eat first.
Dean Hu gestured to Qin Nian.
Qin Nian nodded and went to eat.
As soon as the lunchbox was opened, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out, and everyone in the lab started rumbling in their stomachs even louder.
After Qin Nian opened the food containers, everyone turned their heads and tried to divert their attention.
"Why don't we all have some? My mother-in-law packed a lot. When the food comes, please share some with me so that everyone can have some."
Qin Nian extended an invitation.
"Let the teacher join us too."
As Qin Nian spoke, she took the initiative to divide out a portion of the chicken soup, along with a piece of rice, including the meat and soup.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Dean Hu reached out and took it, glancing at it; it was indeed a lot.
Other colleagues also started to speak up.
Everyone brought their own water cups, since their lunchboxes had been taken away.
“Niannian, your mother-in-law is too honest. This rice looks like it’s been stomped on and packed so tightly.”
The only two girls in the lab spoke up.
The others nodded in agreement. That chicken soup must have contained at least half a chicken, and the broth was rich and flavorful, with golden chicken oil floating on top. It was simply amazing.
This mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship is so good that even a biological mother and daughter might not be able to achieve it.
There were just not enough green vegetables.
Looking at the rice in the lunchbox, Qin Nian suddenly realized why she always felt full when eating with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law probably packed the rice tightly into the lunchbox for her every time.
Although a lot of food was shared, Qin Nian was still full and didn't need her colleagues to share with her. However, everyone still enthusiastically encouraged Qin Nian to try some.
We had just finished eating when the institute's loudspeaker came on.
Yi Mengling's voice appeared.
“Read it carefully. Reading it once is better than reading it three times. When I came here, I heard from the security department that Comrade Qin’s mother-in-law is guarding the gate. If you don’t want to suffer anymore, just do it.”
Zhao Lian's husband, Yi Aiguo, brought Yi Mengling to the broadcasting room. They had to read both an apology letter and a self-criticism letter. The apology letter was requested by Yang Yufen, and the self-criticism letter was required by the hospital.
