"Give."
Su Ning was squatting in the corner next to the stall when she heard Liang Fu's voice.
Su Ning was startled and quickly looked up, just in time to see Liang Fu holding a bowl of wontons in one hand and a chive pancake in the other.
"What are you daydreaming about? Here's some food, take it!"
Liang Fu was in a state of confusion, and her attitude towards Su Ning was no longer as good as before.
Su Ning was baffled by her attitude, wondering if she had done something wrong to upset Liang Fu.
He quickly stood up, took the wonton bowl and chive boxes from Liang Fu's hands, and hurriedly explained, "Xiao Fu, let me explain. Even though Big Brother is squatting here, he's really not a pervert."
"Who said you're a pervert?" Liang Fu was taken aback, her face turning red.
Su Ning scratched her head, unsure how to explain, and could only say, "It's not my shift start time yet, so I thought I'd come and check in just in case anyone gives you any trouble. I should leave when it's time to start work; I don't sit in this corner all day..."
Upon hearing this, Liang Fu immediately understood what Su Ning meant.
Her attitude softened a bit. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just turned around and saw you squatting here. I didn't expect you were here to protect me and Aunt Zhao."
"Since you don't want others to know, then you can squat here and eat. After you're done, put your bowl and chopsticks here, and I'll come and collect them later."
Seeing that his attitude had improved, Su Ning felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He was about to say something more when he turned around and saw Liang Fu back at the stall, continuing her work.
Seeing Liang Fu busy at work with her rosy cheeks, Su Ning felt a surge of joy and finished her bowl of wontons in the corner.
As for the chive pancake, he took it to his office, intending to reheat it for lunch.
"Section Chief Su is here!"
Good morning, Section Chief Su.
"Oh my, Section Chief Su, you're all smiles this morning. Is there some good news at home?"
"Are you dating someone?"
Everyone was joking and teasing Su Ning, but this time Su Ning didn't laugh and tell them to get lost. Instead, he said, "I will definitely let everyone know as soon as there is good news."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised.
After all, although Section Chief Su was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, he had never been in a relationship. His parents had died early, and he had been doing his best to raise his only younger sister.
I didn't expect spring to arrive so quickly.
Some women with daughters were filled with regret. If they had known that Section Chief Su was not against dating, why didn't they introduce their daughters to him sooner?
After all, there would be no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts after marriage, and no need to serve the parents-in-law. What a wonderful marriage it would be! I wonder which young lady will end up with it.
After Su Ning finished speaking, he returned to his office. He had just opened the file when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as Ning finished speaking, the office door was opened from the outside, and Lao Li's figure appeared in Su Ning's sight.
Old Li stood nervously at the door, his hands constantly wiping sweat from his undershirt.
"Section Chief Su, I... I'm here to apologize for what happened that day."
Su Ning sighed as she looked at Old Li's appearance.
Even if he didn't say it, he knew that Lao Li had come here to apologize to him.
"Old Li, you've been working here for at least eight or ten years, right? I've always treated you well, how could you do something so disheartening?"
Old Li was so moved by what Su Ning said that he started crying, and this big man stood at the door wiping away his tears.
"Yes, you've treated me well, I know how good you've been to me. But this is really too difficult for me. You've seen what my daughter looks like. She's incompetent and timid, and I'm just an old man who doesn't know anyone. If I drag her into being an old maid, I... I really will..."
"I really didn't initially have any intention of dating you, Section Chief Su. After all, with your qualifications, even marrying the county magistrate's daughter would be..."
"Hey, hey, stop! You can't say that!" Su Ning interrupted him as he realized he had actually mentioned the county magistrate, preventing him from continuing.
If these words were to get out, he could forget about being the section chief.
"Yes, yes, yes, we can't say that, we can't say it."
Old Li realized what he had just said and was immediately terrified.
"It's all my fault. If I had been more determined, I wouldn't have agreed no matter what those people said or how much money they offered me. So I'll accept whatever punishment you give me, but could you please not kick me out of the supply and marketing cooperative? I'm getting old, so I can find another job."
Old Li had a mournful face and was tense all over, afraid that Su Ning would kick him out.
Upon hearing this, Su Ning immediately said, "Old Li, don't you know me? I always keep public and private matters separate. You haven't caused any problems at work, so why would I fire you?"
Old Li's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. "Are you serious? You really not going to kick me out?"
"What? You just want me to get rid of you today?"
Su Ning was joking on purpose, and Old Li immediately understood and said, "No, no, no, how could that be?"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. I still have work to do. Let's just act like we always have, and pretend this never happened."
Upon hearing this, Lao Li was even more shocked. He hadn't expected Su Ning to be so magnanimous.
"Alright, alright, then I won't disturb your work any longer."
Behind the office door, Old Li wiped away his tears, his guilt towards Su Ning deepening. He vowed to make amends in other ways in the future.
On the other side, after seeing Su Ning leave, Liang Fu went over and took the bowls and chopsticks back.
Zhao Shufang saw all of this and smiled silently.
This silly girl thinks she doesn't know anything? Doesn't she realize how many years she's lived? How could such a small thing escape her notice?
It's just a pity that she originally wanted to pair Shansheng and Liangfu together, since she thought the two children were quite a good match.
But now it seems they are just siblings, which is fine too.
Suning has a good job and a simple family. Xiao Hang's child is also wonderful; he's now inseparable from Liang Fu, and there are no worries about their sister-in-law relationship.
It's a perfect marriage no matter how you look at it.
"Xiao Fu, have you finished packing up over there? If you're done, let's pack up and go home."
