Chapter 14 Serious Illness



The next morning, Hu Xiaoman went to work without eating.

On the surface, she did so, but in fact, she had already eaten in the space.

Pork and bok choy buns, plus a bowl of millet porridge.

Hu Qinghai watched Hu Xiaoman leave through the window and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiaoman left without eating for the past two days. He knew that things were not going well at home, so he didn't even eat." He felt a little guilty at the same time.

In the past, Hu Xiaoman never resisted or said anything to him.

I have been working overtime all year round and have really neglected my children.

Looking back, he never cared about this old woman at all.

Zhang Chunxia didn't say anything harsh this time, as she knew the answer clearly.

Hu Xiaoman didn't eat breakfast for the past two days, leaving them with a day's worth of food.

The days were getting harder and harder, and the two of them were filled with sorrow...

When he arrived at the factory, Hu Xiaoman's new look had already caused a sensation.

Now, she attracts a lot of attention every time she walks on the street.

No one expected that she was actually very beautiful.

Although she is thin and small, her beauty does not seem weak or aggressive.

"Hu Xiaoman." Li Jinmei saw her on the road and walked over quickly.

When she saw her fair face and skin, she almost vomited acid.

I originally thought Hu Xiaoman was very ugly. She often used her hair to cover her appearance, so it was possible that she had squinty eyes.

But now it seems...

Hu Xiaoman didn't even look at her, just walked on by himself.

Li Jinmei was so angry that she said sourly, "I didn't realize you were so pretty before. Why are you hiding it?"

Isn't it just that she looks better?

Well, she admitted that she was just very beautiful.

Hu Xiaoman replied without even turning his head: "What do I look like? Is it necessary to show everyone one by one and inform them?"

What she said was that being good-looking was wrong.

Hu Xiaoman: I am just beautiful, so what?

Li Jinmei was speechless after being confronted. She found that she could not gain any advantage every time she met Hu Xiaoman.

"You are so annoying. You can be so mean to me just by talking to me." She rolled her eyes angrily and left.

Hu Xiaoman was completely confused. It was clearly her who came here to provoke, so why was she blaming others?

If you speak nicely, who can argue with you?

It seems like I have a serious illness!

Regardless of others, she has been thinking about the college entrance examination these two days, so she has to hurry up to review.

First of all, the books are a problem.

There are two high school students in the family, so she should have textbooks, but her eldest brother's family has never been close to her.

Besides, the two younger ones usually ignore her, so borrowing books from her might be a problem.

After thinking about it, Hu Xiaoman decided to ask for help from his third brother Hu Xiaokang.

She is not familiar with the place yet, and if she rashly asks others to lend her books, I'm afraid no one will lend them to her.

At least Hu Xiaokang and the original owner are siblings and they have a good relationship, so he should help.

She had to put the book matter aside for now and work hard.

After a few days of adaptation, she has become completely familiar with the working environment.

I don’t say that I’m very good at it, but at least I won’t fall behind others.

At noon, when it was almost time to get off work, Hu Xiaoman found Director Zhang in the workshop.

"Director Zhang, I have something I want to discuss with you." She was sincere and indicated that she wanted to talk alone.

Director Zhang was a little surprised to see her coming. He didn't expect Hu Xiaoman to take the initiative to talk to him.

"Okay, let's go to the office." He nodded, then turned and left.

Hu Xiaoman followed and looked at the office in front of him.

It's an office, but it's actually a small compartment inside the workshop, with only one door and one window, so you can see inside and outside.

There is also a single bed in the room with a pillow on it, where Director Zhang usually takes his lunch break.

Apart from this, there are two chairs and a desk.

Next door is the office of the deputy director of the workshop, but no one is there because he is on vacation.

"Comrade Hu Xiaoman, please tell me what's on your mind." Director Zhang sat on a chair and motioned for her to sit down as well.

Hu Xiaoman thought about it and sat down without any pretense.

"Director Zhang, this is what I'm thinking about. The factory recommends people to take the high school entrance exam every year, so I want to give it a try."

Although she hasn't told Hu Xiaokang yet, Hu Xiaoman has thought about it. If it doesn't work, she will use the money to buy books.

If you have money, you won’t be able to buy it!

Hearing this, Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Comrade Hu Xiaoman, you know that our factory doesn't have many vacancies. These are the only two I can recommend. Since you mentioned it today, I'll recommend them. But whether it will work out depends on you."

In fact, he is still quite optimistic about Hu Xiaoman.

He is usually serious about his work and often works overtime. Although he seems a bit taciturn, he is also a very good comrade and never causes trouble.

So, when Hu Xiaoman brought this up, he had no objection. It's encouraging for young people to be proactive and eager to learn.

Director Zhang's answer made Hu Xiaoman feel relieved. No matter what, as long as he agreed, it would be fine.

As for the rest, she will work hard.

Although passing high school doesn't necessarily mean she can go to college, she is unwilling to give up without working hard to improve herself.

"Thank you, Director Zhang. I will definitely not let you down!" She smiled and bowed to express her gratitude.

After all, the number of places is limited, and those who do not have the ability will waste the place.

It's not easy for people to trust her.
