Little did she know that the man already knew she worked in the security department.
Lunch consisted of rice as the main dish, accompanied by four side dishes and a soup.
The four dishes are: braised tofu, stewed green beans with cured pork, stir-fried potato slices with cured pork, and hot and sour cabbage.
As for the soup, it's very simple: tomato and egg soup.
"You guys eat faster, I need to go wash the dishes!"
Qin Yaxin glared at Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu with disdain, feeling that the two younger ones ate too slowly, making her wait at the table to clear the dishes.
"My younger brother and sister-in-law have small mouths, so they inevitably eat slowly. Is it really necessary for you to urge them on?"
Qin Boyan has never been polite to his younger sister, Qin Yaxin.
"But I'm waiting to wash the dishes!"
Qin Yaxin rolled her eyes and said, "They have small mouths and eat slowly, but there's only so much rice in their bowls. How come they haven't finished eating yet?"
Chewing slowly and thoroughly aids digestion.
Song Lan chimed in.
"Sister-in-law is right. Our teacher, Ms. Li, also said the same thing, telling us kids not to eat too fast, otherwise we might choke."
Tuanzi Xiaowu glanced at her second sister Qin Yaxin, and then echoed what her sister-in-law said.
"Alright, alright, you're younger and therefore more reasonable. I, as your second sister, was wrong. Do I need to apologize to you?"
Qin Yaxin certainly didn't want to apologize to her younger brother; her tone was full of dissatisfaction and sarcasm.
"An apology needs to be sincere. Second sister, are you sure you really want to apologize to me?"
Tuanzi Xiaowu was very clever. He could tell that his second sister was just saying things out of anger and had no intention of apologizing to him at all. Therefore, he turned the tables on her.
"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted!"
Qin Yaxin muttered to herself.
Qin Boyan didn't interrupt.
Song Lan and Wu Dong simply watched silently as Tuanzi Xiaowu and Qin Yaxin competed.
However, both of them found it amusing.
One is almost sixteen, and the other is four or five years old. There is a considerable age difference between the two, but now it seems that the little guy has the upper hand.
"Second sister, I prefer you to say I'm quick-witted. Don't think that just because I'm in kindergarten, I don't know what's good or bad."
With a snort and a raised chin, Tuanzi Xiaowu finished the last bite of rice.
Standing up, the little guy held the empty rice bowl in front of Qin Yaxin: "I'm finished eating. Do you want me to hand it to you, Second Sister, or should I take it to the kitchen myself?"
"You don't need to bother, I can take care of it myself."
Qin Yaxin, suppressing her burning sensation, quickly cleared the table of dishes and chopsticks. Xiao Liu had just finished eating, but before she could say anything, Qin Yaxin took the bowl and spoon from her hand.
The little girl blinked, but ultimately said nothing.
"Go for a walk around the yard before you rest."
Song Lan spoke.
After hearing this, the two little ones nodded their heads.
"Sister-in-law..."
At this moment, Qin Bo summoned Song Lan.
"Um?"
Song Lan looked at the other person.
"Shouldn't your sister-in-law say something to us?"
Qin Boyan's words had a hidden meaning. Upon hearing this, Song Lan stood up and said, "Let's go to your older brother's room."
"..."
After standing there stunned for a moment, Qin Boyan immediately took a step and followed.
Wu Dong didn't go with them; he went to the yard to look after the two little ones.
"I did not work as a nurse in a hospital."
Upon entering Qin Yanzheng's room, Song Lan waited for Qin Boyan to come in and then got straight to the point.
"Why?"
Qin Yanzheng asked.
"Yes, sister-in-law, why aren't you working as a nurse at the workers' hospital? You were transferred from the workers' hospital at the main factory, so you should have a position here. But you're not working as a nurse. Could it be that someone took your job?"
Also, if you're not in a nursing position, what role did they assign you to? You haven't left the hospital, have you?
Qin Boyan started by asking a series of questions.
"Second brother, don't rush, I'll tell you and your eldest brother slowly."
Song Lan smiled helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, you're still laughing?! Your work is a big deal. My brother and I were so worried last night, but you seem like nothing's wrong. Could it be... could it be that you were so angry that you've become indifferent?"
Hearing Qin Boyan say this, Song Lan couldn't help but look at him with amusement, and then said, "What do you mean by 'things will turn around when they reach their extreme'? Sit there and let me explain in detail." Pointing to Qin Yanzheng's bedside, Song Lan gestured for Qin Boyan to sit down. Seeing that he was standing near the door without moving, she teased, "Are you trying to be a doorman?"
"Sister-in-law, can you be serious? We're discussing a serious topic right now!"
Qin Boyan looked resentful and walked over to his older brother's bedside to sit down.
"It's not a big deal, there's no need to make it so serious."
Song Lan smiled: "I work in the security department now..."
"What?"
Qin Yanzheng hadn't reacted yet, but Qin Boyan immediately stood up, his eyes blazing with fury: "Sister-in-law, how come you're working in the security department? Even if there aren't any vacancies for nurses at the staff hospital, surely there are plenty of other positions available? Why would a nurse like you work in the security department with some grown men?"
"Second brother, calm down and let me finish what I have to say, okay?"
Song Lan tried to persuade her.
"No, I can't stay calm. I'm going to the staff hospital right now to find out!"
Qin Boyan is a man of action; as soon as he finished speaking, he started walking towards the door.
Seeing this, Song Lan quickly called out, "Second brother, listen to me!"
"Sister-in-law, don't stop me. I have to go to the hospital leaders and find out why they arranged for you to be assigned to the security department."
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Qin Boyan rushed into the courtyard.
"Qin Yanzheng, I'll go stop my second brother!"
Leaving Qin Yanzheng with a sentence, Song Lan turned and ran after Qin Boyan.
Where are you going?
Wu Dong was standing in the yard. When he saw Qin Boyan rush out, he basically guessed the reason, but still asked a question.
"Brother Wu, you're asking a question you already know the answer to!"
Qin Boyan said angrily, "You knew last night that my sister-in-law worked in the security department, but you insisted on keeping it from me and my brother. Now I'm going to go to the hospital to find out why you arranged for my sister-in-law, a nurse, to work in the security department!"
"Comrade Wu, stop Boyan quickly!"
When Song Lan arrived in the courtyard, she saw Qin Boyan about to leave and hurriedly called out to Wu Dong.
"Are you going to walk into the house by yourself, or do I have to drag you to Comrade Qin?"
Wu Dong blocked Qin Boyan's path in a few steps, saying, "I can understand that young people are hot-blooded, but can't you listen to what Comrade Qin has to say?!"
"Qin Boyan!"
At this moment, Qin Yanzheng's cold voice reached the courtyard.
"Second brother, did you hear that? Your eldest brother is calling you. Come on, let's go back to the room. Can you let your sister-in-law finish speaking first?" Song Lan had already walked up to Qin Boyan. She grabbed his left arm and led him towards Qin Yanzheng's room.
Qin Yaxin stood at the kitchen doorway, stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Song Lan: "Sister-in-law, you really didn't work at the hospital, and you went to the security department?!"
"Um."
Song Lan nodded slightly and replied, "After you finish in the kitchen, go back to your room and rest as soon as possible. I'll have your second brother call you when it's time to go to school."
