Although he was a little confused, he knew in his heart that this was probably because of what happened last time, and that Director Chen had helped him with it and had gone through a special channel.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been approved so quickly, and only he has such great power right now.
Jiang Cheng's image unconsciously flashed through my mind again, as a former hero.
Sigh, it's not worth it at all.
"What are you thinking about?" Ding Qiunan asked when she saw her husband staring blankly at the thing in his hand.
"Oh, no, I wasn't thinking about anything. Here, pack these up first, we're about to eat."
Ding Qiunan could tell that he wasn't in a good mood, and of course she understood what was wrong. Without saying anything, she took it and put it in her bag.
"Qiu Nan, I'll go back and get my lunchbox first. You can go straight to the cafeteria later."
Back in his clinic, Li Chu's face fell quickly. He had been greeted with congratulations the whole way, and he had to put on a smiling face, which made him feel really uncomfortable.
To be honest, he really didn't want this second-class merit award.
Forcing himself to stay alert, he had just taken out his lunchbox to go to the cafeteria when Ding Qiunan arrived.
"I'll go get the food and bring it back to eat."
Looking at his wife's sweet smile, Li Chu felt a warmth in his heart.
Everyone else thought Ding Qiunan was lucky to marry him, that she was incredibly fortunate, but only he knew in his heart that marrying Ding Qiunan was his blessing.
He harbored a deep secret, yet had no one to confide in. He had to be extremely careful in everything he said and did, fearing that a mistake would cost him his life. The pressure he felt was immense.
It was because of her companionship and understanding that I was able to feel happy and avoid becoming depressed due to stress.
"Honey, I've finished tidying up the house over there. When are you going to go see Jiang Li?"
During the meal, Li Chu stopped thinking about that matter and started talking about the house instead.
"Let's go after get off work this afternoon. Let's go home first, get our bikes, and that way we can get there faster."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After dinner, Li Chu held Ding Qiunan and fell asleep, not even knowing when she went to work.
When he opened his eyes, it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon.
I washed my face to clear my head and told myself that what's past is past, and I should just live each day to the fullest.
At the entrance of Jiang Li's alley, Li Chu sat on his bicycle, waiting for Ding Qiunan to go in and find Jiang Li.
Little White and Little Flower were playing and frolicking around the bicycle, while Little Black followed its owner inside.
Yes, they brought all three dogs with them today.
They were quite a sight on the way here; people were all watching them.
Not long after, Ding Qiunan pulled Jiang Li out of the alley.
"Qiu Nan, where are you going? You're out now, you should tell me."
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? You'll find out in a minute. You can ride a bicycle, right?"
Jiang Li nodded helplessly.
"Okay, then you can ride my bike."
After saying that, Ding Qiunan sat in the back seat of Li Chu's car.
Having no other choice, Jiang Li could only ride her bike and follow.
Li Chu watched from the side and chuckled to himself. His wife was quite clever; she knew to tell Jiang Li directly that she definitely couldn't go over.
So, let's just take them there first and see what happens.
"Hey, Jiang Li, where's the child?" Li Chu only then realized that she hadn't seen her daughter.
"Oh, I worked the night shift yesterday, so I didn't pick her up when I got back today. She's still at daycare."
Do you work many night shifts?
"There are five long nights and five short nights each month."
They walked and talked, and soon arrived at the courtyard house.
It's getting cold, and now nobody's chatting at the gate anymore.
Jiang Li looked at the courtyard curiously: "Qiu Nan, why did you bring me here?"
"Let's come in first and talk about it." With that, Ding Qiunan took the bicycle from her and followed Li Chu into the yard.
Hearing the noise at the door, Yan Bugui lifted his curtain and came out.
"Hey, Xiao Chu, Qiu Nan, you're here."
"Hey, Uncle, we've come back for a stroll," Ding Qiunan replied with a smile.
Yan Bugui looked at Jiang Li behind her and asked again, "And who is this lady...?"
"Oh, Uncle, this is my friend, he came with us."
"Alright, Qiu Nan, come visit Xiao Chu at her house sometime."
"Okay, Uncle, you're busy, we'll head back now."
Li Chu parked the car in front of his house and took out his keys to open the door.
Jiang Li then realized that this was their home, and she found it a little funny. Why did they have to act so mysterious when they came to her house?
Xiao Hei was very familiar with the house. As soon as it entered, it lay down by the door and didn't move. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua went inside and started wandering around.
"Come on, Jiang Li, take a look at this house," Ding Qiunan said, parking her bicycle and inviting her over.
"Why are you keeping secrets from me when I come to your house?"
Ding Qiunan smiled but didn't say anything, and went inside first.
Jiang Li followed them inside and realized something was wrong. It didn't look like anyone lived there. The house had furniture and such, but no daily necessities.
Once inside, Ding Qiunan said directly to Jiang Li, "How's this house? Why don't you come over and help us look after it?"
"What did you say?" Jiang Li wondered if she had misheard.
"I said, how about you move in and help us look after the house?"
Jiang Li finally understood Ding Qiunan's meaning.
She said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Qiu Nan, I know what you mean, this house is indeed quite nice."
Jiang Li turned her head and looked around the house: "I thank you in advance, but I cannot accept your kindness."
Why don't you want to move here?
"How much did you rent this place for? It must be very expensive, it must be huge!"
Jiang Li thought that Li Chu and his wife had rented it for her.
She couldn't afford the rent for such a big house.
Hearing her words, Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "You've got it wrong. Didn't you hear what I just said? Help us look after the house. This is the house my parents-in-law lived in when they were alive. Now no one lives here, and it's a bit of a waste."
This kind of wooden house is prone to deterioration if it's left uninhabited for a long time, which is why we wanted to ask for your help.
Jiang Li finally understood. To be honest, she was somewhat tempted. Regardless of the house's quality, it was just her and her daughter living there, and the small house was fine.
The key is that the environment in the hutongs is so much better; it's so pleasing to the eye.
After entering the house, Li Chu, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "Jiang Li, it's fine for you to stay there now, but what about next year? Nannan will be starting school next year, and it won't be convenient for her to go to school there. The school is far away, but it's just a few steps from here after you step out of the alley."
