Liu Dacheng, the head of the security department, was over fifty years old. Although he wasn't exactly fat and big-eared, he wasn't much better looking. In addition, he liked to flaunt his authority in the security department, so the young men in the security department gave him a nickname in private—"Big-Headed Liu".
It's clear that Liu Dacheng wasn't very popular in the security department.
“The leader has his own reasons, which we can’t control, and we have no right to interfere.” Fang Jianmin shook his head and said, “I actually mentioned it to the section chief, thinking of scheduling Xiao Song for the night shift again after a while.”
But Section Chief… never mind, nothing bad has happened in our factory in the last two years, and besides, Xiao Song isn't the only one working the night shift, so there shouldn't be any safety issues.”
"Who are you all in the same class with?"
Wang Qiuping asked.
"Wei Shengli's group and Wang Pujun's group."
Fang Jianmin replied.
Wang Qiuping: "That is to say, it is still the original shift schedule, except that Xiao Song was added to the night shift when Xiao Wei and Xiao Wang's groups were on duty."
"Um."
Fang Jianmin nodded.
"Could this be another one of the section chief's arrangements?"
Wang Qiuping raised an eyebrow.
"Um."
Fang Jianmin nodded again.
“Our security department has a total of six groups, and each night shift involves two groups. Xiao Wei and Xiao Wang are paired up, but their strength is not as good as the other two night shift combinations.”
Hearing Wang Qiuping say this, Fang Jianmin was momentarily confused: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Think about it slowly."
Wang Qiuping rolled her eyes at the other person with disdain and said, "I thought you would assign Xiao Song's night shift to your group."
"If it were up to me, I certainly wouldn't mind being in a group with Xiao Song."
Fang Jianmin spoke the truth.
Wang Qiuping felt that she was inexplicably conspiratorial, and that Section Chief Liu Dacheng's motives for temporarily transferring Song Lan to the Security Section, arranging for Song Lan to work the night shift so soon, and assigning Song Lan to Wei Shengli and Wang Pujun's two groups for the night shift were impure.
But this was just her guess.
After all, everything requires evidence...
Song Lan was unaware of the conversation between Wang Qiuping and Fang Jianmin. She picked up the two adorable children, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, from the kindergarten teacher and intended to rush home immediately, but she couldn't help asking the teacher about the two children's performance at kindergarten that day.
To everyone's delight, the teacher was generous with her praise, saying that the two children were sensible and well-behaved, and each of them received a little red flower when school was over.
The little boy, Xiao Wu, was very embarrassed when his teacher praised him in front of his sister-in-law.
He glanced at Song Lan somewhat awkwardly, which Song Lan happened to see. Immediately, Song Lan chuckled, squatted down and hugged the little guy, then hugged the little girl next to her.
“Our fifth and sixth children are all great, and your sister-in-law is very happy for you!”
Upon hearing her words, not only did the adorable little Wu blush with embarrassment, but even the usually introverted girl became extremely shy. The two little ones were embraced by Song Lan, their eyes darting around, but they refused to look at Song Lan, their sister-in-law.
Song Lan shook her head with amusement, guessing that the two little ones were probably just shy.
“You are all good children. There’s no need to be embarrassed to be praised by your sister-in-law.”
Straightening up, she patted the heads of the two little ones, said goodbye to the teacher, and then led them home.
"Big brother, big brother, my sister and I are back from kindergarten!"
Once inside the courtyard, the adorable little Wu, holding her younger sister's hand, ran towards Qin Yanzheng's room.
As for Song Lan, she turned on the tap to wash her hands and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
About half an hour later, Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin returned home from school. However, before Qin Yaxin could go to her room to put down her schoolbag, she heard Qin Boyan say, "You haven't forgotten what you said, have you?"
Clearly, he was reminding Qin Yaxin not to forget that "a promise must be kept"!
"...I haven't forgotten!"
Qin Yaxin paused for a moment, then realized what he meant, her cheeks flushing red. She replied to Qin Boyan, then said, "I'll go put my bag away." Was it necessary to remind her?
With a hint of doubt in her mind, Qin Yaxin pursed her lips, placed the study on her desk in her room, and turned to walk out the door.
Since she said those words, we should at least stand up for ourselves, even if it means losing the steamed bun, so as not to contradict ourselves!
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go and rest? I'll chop the vegetables."
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Qin Yaxin saw Song Lan busy at the cutting board and quickly spoke up.
Have you washed your hands?
That's Qin Boyan's voice.
"I'll go wash right now."
Suppressing her embarrassment, Qin Yaxin glared at Qin Boyan and turned to leave the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Qin Boyan's voice rang out behind her: "Qin Yaxin, that's common sense. You should be more mindful!"
"You talk too much!"
Turning back to glare fiercely at Qin Boyan, Qin Yaxin quickly walked out of the kitchen.
That's enough! Can't you give her a little face?
Are you really going to make her look bad before you're satisfied?!
After washing her hands, Qin Yaxin returned to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, I've washed my hands. What do you think I should do now?"
She asked Song Lan.
"You have no sense of responsibility; I think you're just spoiled."
Qin Boyan sat in front of the stove, tending the fire, and relentlessly complained.
"Second brother, can you please shut your mouth?"
Qin Yaxin got annoyed and said, "Boys who talk too much will have a hard time finding a wife in the future!"
"Girls who like me are lining up. You should worry more about yourself, lest you end up not being able to get married."
Qin Boyan, ever the sarcastic one, gave Qin Yaxin a disdainful look and said, "Too lazy to even use a shovel to turn over things. Someone like you would only marry someone who's blind."
"you……"
Qin Yaxin gritted her teeth in anger, but to avoid being accused of being a troublemaker by her eldest brother, she could only clench her fists and glare at her second brother, Qin Boyan, suppressing the anger that was rising in her heart.
"Second brother!"
Song Lan spoke up, her face solemn, "You're the older brother, how can you talk to your sister like that? Although our second sister made mistakes in the past, she knows how to correct them now. As family, we should encourage her, not say things like you just said."
"Okay, I know I was wrong."
Qin Boyan gave Song Lan, his sister-in-law, a lot of face. He was also flexible and adaptable. So, he immediately turned his gaze to Qin Yaxin and said, "I was just being mean. I apologize to you. If you're still not satisfied, you can scold me a couple of times."
"..."
In Qin Yaxin's memory, her second brother had never apologized to her after bullying her.
Is this unusual behavior because of his sister-in-law?
Qin Yaxin was unaware that she knew the truth, but she still couldn't help but glance at Song Lan, then snorted and said, "I'm magnanimous, I won't stoop to your level."
Unexpectedly, Qin Boyan pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "You talk as if you're not wrong. I wonder who cursed me so that I'll never be able to find a wife in the future."
Qin Yaxin blushed, knowing that her second brother Qin Boyan was talking about her. After a moment of awkwardness, she said, "Alright, we were both wrong about what happened just now. Let's call it even. I'd like to apologize to you now. If you're not petty, don't hold it against me."
