Ruan Mianmian had thought of an excuse before she came back, "It's like this, I went to the county this time and met a former classmate. She lent me some money and also found me a part-time job. This way, I can earn my own money in the future."
She lives alone now, and even if she works in the fields to earn work points, it can only barely keep her from starving to death. It is impossible for her to live a good life by working in the fields for the time being.
She has to have a legitimate way to make money.
Information is relatively closed nowadays. Sayings like "I have a friend", "I have a classmate", "I have a comrade-in-arms" are very useful and no one will verify them.
"What part-time job?" the captain asked in confusion. He had been the captain for so long, how could he not know where there was a part-time job.
"It's a publishing house." Ruan Mianmian said without any guilt, "My classmate is working in a publishing house now. She asked me to submit my work to their publishing house. If it is accepted, I can get the corresponding royalties."
This was actually one of Ruan Mianmian's plans. Although she didn't have any classmates working in publishing houses, it didn't prevent her from submitting her manuscripts.
The captain nodded and said, "Is that so? You have always had good grades since you were young, so you will definitely be able to earn this fee." Hearing that she had such an opportunity, the captain was really happy for her.
The captain saw that the bandage on her head had been removed, so he asked again, "Is your head okay? How was the checkup at the hospital this time?"
Ruan Mianmian reached out and touched her head, saying, "It's okay. The doctor checked it carefully. I just need to eat well and live a good life in the future."
After listening to her, the captain was silent for a while and then said earnestly, "Since it has come to this, you must live a good life in the future. Don't think about the past. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to me. I may not be able to help you with big things, but I can still help you with small things within my ability."
After listening to his wife's words that day, the captain thought a lot and his attitude towards Ruan Mianmian changed a lot.
It's really not right for outsiders to interfere in other people's family affairs.
But after that, the girl lived alone, so he could still help her.
Ruan Mianmian bowed deeply to the captain and said thank you sincerely.
Just as Ruan Mianmian was about to leave, she was stopped by the captain again, "Hey, Mianmian, uncle wants to ask you something."
"Captain, please ask."
"Um, um, what is your relationship with Qin Zhiqing?" It was obvious that the captain was embarrassed to ask this question. For a grown man to ask about such private matters felt like the gossip of the old women in the village.
"Huh?" Ruan Mianmian didn't hear clearly.
"I just want to ask, what is your relationship with Qin Zhiqing? You were away these two days, and he was repairing the house for you. It's only been two days, and it's basically done." It was difficult to say it the first time, but it was much easier the second time.
There are quite a lot of people asking for leave in the village these two days. As the team leader, he must go and ask.
It turned out that all the people who had taken leave were repairing Ruan Mianmian's dilapidated house.
There are more than a dozen of them in total, and they work hard every day.
It's only been two days, and except for the yard, the living room has been almost cleaned up, and the kitchen and other things have also been set up.
The roof and walls have been patched and repaired, and now we just have to wait for the mud to dry.
The weeds in the yard have also been cleared, and as long as the wall is repaired, it will be a decent house that can be lived in.
Now Ruan Mianmian heard it clearly. She was stunned for a long time before she answered the captain, "Well, captain, I just asked Qin Zhiqing to help me repair the house before I left. There is no other relationship. I will pay him for his work."
In fact, Ruan Mianmian did not expect Qin Zheng to act so quickly. She had originally planned to start after she came back. After all, she did not leave any money for him.
"Oh, so that's how it is." The captain understood. He thought the two were in a relationship.
"That's all right, I'll leave first, Captain." Hearing that Qin Zheng was already helping her repair the house, Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to go back and take a look.
After saying hello, Ruan Mianmian quickly left the captain's house.
Standing in front of her own yard, Ruan Mianmian realized how much Qin Zheng had done in the past two days.
This felt like a different place than when she had been here before.
The door that was so broken that it was unsightly has been replaced. Although the replacement door is not very new, it at least looks sturdy and durable.
All the weeds in the yard have been pulled out.
When I walked in, I saw that the broken windows and leaky roof had all been repaired.
Although the materials used are varied and not very beautiful, it is already habitable.
"You're back." Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside and Qin Zheng walked out.
Ruan Mianmian looked at Qin Zheng and suddenly felt that he had a feeling of waiting for his return.
In just a moment, Ruan Mianmian quickly shook her head to erase the scene.
She responded somewhat awkwardly, "Um... I'm back. Um, why are you here?"
She just thought no one was home.
"Oh, it's like this. I've asked someone to help me fix the house these past two days. Now the only thing left is the wall. I told them to come back tomorrow. Now it's time for them to go back and have a rest." Qin Zheng answered very naturally, without any embarrassment.
"Well, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic. Thank you so much. Um, how much did you spend? I'll give it to you." Ruan Mianmian pretended to take money out of her pocket.
Qin Zheng stepped forward and grabbed her arm, saying, "Not for now, let's settle it together after everything is done. I also asked the carpenter in the village to make you some furniture that can be used. But it will take a few days to finish it. I will send it to you when the time comes."
Qin Zheng's sudden approach made Ruan Mianmian's nerves tense. She broke free from the grasping arm, took a step back, and said, "Thank you. You are very thoughtful. Um, um, when this place is settled, I will invite you to be my guest again."
Qin Zheng, whose hands were now empty, realized that he had crossed the line. He took back his hands and said, "Okay, then you take a rest. I'll leave first. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
"Okay, bye." Ruan Mianmian hurriedly saw the guest off.
