As Song Lan was speaking, Wu Dong's voice came from the kitchen: "Comrade Song, you can go now, I'll wash the dishes right away." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Boyan came out of the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, Brother Wu is washing the pots and dishes, he won't let me help."
Song Lan asked, "Have you thanked Comrade Wu?"
"Yes. But Brother Wu said he's not like he hasn't eaten at home, so I don't need to say thank you."
Qin Boyan responded.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "Alright, you should hurry up and pack your things and head to school. Be careful on the way."
Qin Boyan nodded in response.
Throughout the entire breakfast, no one paid any attention to Qin Yaxin. She even had to fetch her own food from the kitchen and bring it to the table herself.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Qin Yaxin wasn't upset in this situation.
But she didn't want to give up, so after finishing her meal, she washed her own dishes and chopsticks at the tap, then went back to her room, picked up her schoolbag, and waited in the middle of the yard.
Without a doubt, she was waiting for Qin Boyan to take her to school on his bike.
Unexpectedly, Qin Boyan slung his canvas backpack over his shoulder, pushed his old bicycle out of the courtyard gate, and made no attempt to call her to follow.
Okay, they didn't even glance at it.
"Qin..."
Qin Yaxin wanted to call Qin Boyan by his name, but remembering what Song Lan had said last night, she stamped her foot and hurriedly changed her address: "Second Brother! Second Brother, wait for me!"
She hurriedly chased after him out of the courtyard gate. When Qin Yaxin saw Qin Boyan about to ride away on his bicycle, she immediately rushed forward and grabbed the back seat of the bicycle.
"Are you trying to be on the same page as your sister-in-law?"
With reddened eyes and a choked voice, she said, "I... I just didn't go to the kitchen to help after school yesterday, and when I asked if the food was ready, I forgot to call you all. Is it really necessary for you to isolate me this morning?"
"If you want to sit, sit. If not, walk to school yourself!"
Qin Boyan straddled the bicycle seat, gripping the handlebars. He had one foot on the pedal and the other on the ground, his tone full of impatience.
"When I get home from school at noon, I'm going to tell my older brother that you two ganged up on me!"
Sitting in the back seat, Qin Yaxin cried and said, "I'm going to tell Dad later..."
"Shut up!"
Qin Boyan pushed off hard with the foot on the pedal, and the bicycle instantly traveled several meters under his control.
"Anyway, my brother is awake. With him standing up for me, I'm not afraid of you!"
The "you" that Qin Yaxin refers to specifically refers to Qin Boyan and Song Lan.
"If it weren't for the expense of the tuition, do you think I would have driven you to school?"
Qin Boyan said coldly, "Complaining to my elder brother, Qin Yaxin, where do you get the nerve? Not to mention that from last night until now, when my sister-in-law and I picked my elder brother up from the hospital, did you even go into my elder brother's room once?"
To cure my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law not only went deep into the mountains to collect herbs, but also gave him acupuncture for nearly two hours last night, and this morning she made him chicken soup. How much she has sacrificed for my brother and for our family—can't you see it? Why are you still causing trouble for my sister-in-law?
"..."
Qin Yaxin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Disappointed that she didn't speak for a long time, Qin Boyan simply stopped talking.
He was just waiting to see how his older brother would teach this ungrateful brat a lesson!
...
After dropping the two children off at kindergarten, Song Lan bent down to give them a few words of advice before quickly heading to the factory's security department.
"Xiao Song, go with Sister Wang to get your training uniform and work clothes. In ten minutes, put on your training uniform and assemble at the training field."
As soon as Song Lan arrived at the security office, she heard the voice of the deputy section chief, Fang Jianmin. Upon hearing this, she replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."
The "Sister Wang" mentioned by Fang Jianmin, whose real name is Wang Qiuping, is a middle-aged woman of about fifty years old with a "Hu Lan" hairstyle. She is not tall, but she is efficient and has a dashing air about her, which suggests that she also comes from a military background.
"Let's go, Xiao Song."
Wang Qiuping beckoned Song Lan to follow.
The two arrived at the security department's warehouse, where Wang Qiuping found a training uniform and a work uniform for Song Lan according to her size, and then led Song Lan to the changing room.
When Song Lan reappeared in front of Wang Qiuping, Wang Qiuping nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, this training uniform suits you very well!"
Knowing she had to go to work at the security department today, Song Lan combed her hair into two braids and then pinned them into a low bun at the back of her head, making it easier to wear a hat that matched her work uniform while working.
At this moment, her brows and eyes were resolute, and her posture was as upright as a pine tree or bamboo. In Wang Qiuping's eyes, she was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Sister Wang, shall we head to the training ground now?"
Song Lan politely smiled in response to her senior's praise, and then asked the other person a question.
"Um."
Wang Qiuping nodded and said, "Although you've just arrived at the security department, you can't miss your daily training. Only by passing the training can you effectively protect the factory and the country's property in the event of an emergency!"
"I will definitely train hard and not let our security department down!"
It's just training, she has no problem with it!
The training ground was not far from the security office. The area was quite large and contained several training equipment and shooting targets.
It should be noted that during this period, the factory security department was actually quite sought after. Not only were the salaries high, but in a large factory like Hongxing Machinery Factory, the security department members were basically armed.
In order to better protect national property in the event of a major emergency!
The moment Song Lan was brought to the training ground by Wang Qiuping, the security personnel who had gathered together all stared wide-eyed.
They had heard that a female comrade was coming to the security department, and that she was quite young. However, they never expected that the new comrade would be as beautiful as a fairy. For the unmarried men in the security department, they felt that their spring was coming, and some had even thought about what names to give their children.
As if sensing what the young men were thinking, Fang Jianmin and Wang Qiuping coughed lightly twice in unison. Then, they exchanged a glance, and Wang Qiuping spoke first:
"This is Comrade Song Lan. From now on, she will be a member of our security department. Everyone should get along well and work together to protect the factory's property. Also, don't let Comrade Song Lan's young age fool you; she's married. You understand what I mean?"
Song Lan showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Standing beside Wang Qiuping, she gave the assembled security team members a polite smile: "We'll all be comrades from now on, so please take good care of me!" With that, she bowed deeply to the security team members.
"Definitely! Definitely!"
The young men responded, but their response was rather listless. After hearing what Wang Qiuping said next, they felt their hearts were shattered.
One moment I was thinking that spring had arrived, and the next moment I felt like I had fallen into an icy valley.
That's terrible!
