Song Lan was not uncomfortable. In the daily training of the security department, she performed well and was praised by the leaders and admired by her colleagues.
"That's what happened. When Director Zhang and I arrived, Comrade Song was patrolling the factory area with her colleagues. After seeing me, she knew why I was looking for her. She didn't hide anything from me and directly told me why she worked in the security department."
Qin Yanzheng: "She's a woman, yet she was seconded to the security department, and after only two days on the job, she was assigned to the night shift. Don't you find that strange?"
Wu Dong: "Director Zhang talked to Section Chief Liu about this, but Section Chief Liu said he didn't mean anything by it, it was just a normal shift schedule. However, when Director Zhang and I left, Section Chief Liu said to pay more attention to the work arrangements in the future."
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yanzheng spoke up: "Surely such a large machinery factory wouldn't only have vacancies in the security department."
"That's true."
Wu Dong agreed, and then asked, "Do you want to use your position as deputy factory director to get the factory to reassign Comrade Song to a new job?"
"Is it not allowed?"
Qin Yanzheng frowned: "This is my current situation, and my family situation is also like this. If something happens to my wife in the security department, what will we do? The factory shouldn't be so ruthless!"
"I don't know if the factory shows consideration for personal relationships, but has Comrade Qin considered Comrade Song's wishes?"
Wu Dong frankly stated, "Comrade Song has her own ideas, and she is very independent. I don't think she would agree to do that."
Qin Yanzheng: "..."
Yes, Song Lan, his wife is an independent woman with her own thoughts. If she knew his current plans, given her personality and principles, would she agree to his arrangements?
What he thought was for her good, in her eyes... might he be rejected, and feel that he was being treated differently and not following the rules?
Qin Yanzheng thought about many things for a while.
"Comrade Qin, in my opinion, we should wait until Comrade Song returns tomorrow and we can discuss it with you."
Wu Dong spoke up at the opportune moment.
"That's all we can do."
Qin Yanzheng nodded, and then said, "I have said more than once that Comrade Wu does not need to use honorifics with me."
"But your identity..."
Wu Dong was in a dilemma.
“I am just an ordinary person. If we really care about status, comrades like Comrade Wu should be more deserving of the title ‘you’.”
Qin Yanzheng's tone was sincere, and Wu Dong was moved. He remained silent for a moment, then grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Comrade Qin."
Qin Yanzheng: "It's not that you should listen to me, it's that you shouldn't be so polite to me in the first place. Let's be more casual, it will make our relationship seem closer."
"I really didn't expect Comrade Qin to be such an easygoing person. Even when you were unconscious, you always gave me the impression of being rather cold."
You're the kind of person who's hard to approach. When you woke up, your demeanor confirmed my suspicions, but today I discovered you also have a friendly side.
“I am indeed not very talkative in daily life, and I don’t smile much. Therefore, I give people the impression of being cold and difficult to talk to. If it were in the past, when I occasionally went home, my second brother and his family would not have been able to act so freely in front of me as they do now.”
"Boyan is quite composed."
"Composed? Think about what he was like right before he left. If I hadn't persuaded him, he might have forced you to tell the truth, and then he might have stormed out of the house to fight someone."
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say this, Wu Dong smiled and said, "Bo Yan is at the age where he's full of passion right now, it's nothing, he'll be fine when he grows up a few more years."
...
The next day at noon, Song Lan walked into the courtyard and saw Wu Dong standing in front of the tap washing clothes. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Washing clothes!"
"Um."
Wu Dong looked up and responded, then said, "I've already taken Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu home."
"I went to pick them up from kindergarten. Teacher Li told me that, but thank you for your help anyway."
Song Lan watched as Wu Dong carried the laundry tub away from the sink and asked, "Where are the two little ones?"
Wu Dong: "I'm chatting with Comrade Qin."
After washing her hands, Song Lan shook her head and laughed, "They don't know how to chat. I think they're just chattering away and making noise for their older brother."
Wu Dong: "What are you doing at noon? I'll hang the clothes out to dry and then come help you."
Song Lan: "How about steaming rice?"
"I'm fine with anything, but I don't know if Comrade Qin can eat it."
After hanging up the clothes to dry, Wu Dong poured the water from the basin into the vegetable garden and said, "How about I ask Comrade Qin what he wants to eat for lunch?"
"Qin Yanzheng can only drink thin porridge recently, and at most he can eat some steamed egg custard and noodles. Rice and hand-pulled noodles will have to wait a while."
Song Lan walked towards Qin Yanzheng's room: "I'll go ask him if he wants steamed eggs or clear soup noodles."
"This morning I made steamed egg custard for Comrade Qin and also heated up some fresh milk."
Wu Dong said something to Song Lan's back.
"knew."
Song Lan responded.
"Little Five, Little Six, what are you talking to your eldest brother about?"
Upon arriving at Qin Yanzheng's room, Song Lan smiled and asked the two little ones.
"...The young man is speaking, and the older brother and I are the audience."
The soft, sweet-looking little girl looked at Song Lan, her bright, sparkling eyes filled with joy.
“Then our little sixth child will definitely be a good listener.”
Gently pinching the little girl's hair bud, Song Lan heard Tuanzi Xiao Wu say, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm telling my brother what I learned at kindergarten today at noon."
"Really? You've learned it all?"
Song Lan asked with a smile.
"Of course I learned it! The teacher taught it so simply, I learned it after just one listen. Xiao Liu did too. Sister-in-law, you can ask Xiao Liu if you don't believe me."
After listening to what the little guy had to say, Song Lan turned her gaze to the little girl. Seeing the little girl nod her head, she immediately praised the two little ones: "Our fifth and sixth children are really smart, but we can't be arrogant, you know?"
The two little ones nodded in unison.
"I'm back."
Qin Yanzheng spoke up at this moment.
"Yes, I went to the kindergarten as soon as I got off work. When I learned that Comrade Wu had already picked up Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu and taken them home, I rushed back immediately."
Song Lan smiled, her voice clear and gentle: "I'll make you noodles for lunch, and fish soup for dinner, how about that?"
Did you buy fish?
Qin Yanzheng asked.
"I had someone help me buy it, so I can take it home after get off work this afternoon."
In reality, it was "smuggled" out from the space "Divine Doctor Valley". However, it could only be taken out when no one was paying attention, otherwise it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Making up a lie in advance was undoubtedly to avoid Qin Yanzheng and Wu Dong from guessing.
In Song Lan's opinion, these two were very perceptive. If she didn't have a reasonable explanation, she would definitely be questioned all over the place if she brought a fish home.
Tuanzi Xiaowu: "Sister-in-law, is the fish big?"
"I'll know once I see my sister-in-law."
As Song Lan spoke, she patted the little guy's head and then turned her gaze to Qin Yanzheng: "I'll go cook. I'll tell you everything you want to know after lunch."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qin Yanzheng hum in agreement, then he smiled and left the room.
