Feng Juan was quick to grab Yun Qiao's arm and pull her back, thus avoiding a collision.
Yun Qiao was pulled back and stumbled two steps. As soon as he stood up, he bent down and said, "I'm sorry."
Wei Xing, who almost bumped into Yun Qiao, quickly said, "I'm sorry..."
The two of them apologized almost at the same time, looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.
"Doctor Ye, come and have dinner."
Yun Qiao smiled and nodded: "Yes. Did you just get off work?"
"Yes, I just got off work and came to the cafeteria to eat." Wei Xing said this, and her eyes fell on Feng Juan. Seeing that she looked quite similar to Yun Qiao and was holding Yun Qiao's arm, she smiled curiously and said, "Doctor Ye, has your relative come to the company to see you? She looks like you."
Yun Qiao hummed and said openly, "This is my mother."
"Ah!" Wei Xing's eyes widened in surprise. She exclaimed, "Your mother looks so young. Standing with you, they don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters. I just thought she was your sister."
No woman doesn't like to be praised for her youthful appearance, and Feng Juan is no exception.
She was grinning from ear to ear and was about to say something when she heard the female educated youth standing behind Wei Xing mutter, "Isn't Doctor Ye an orphan? How come he has a mother?"
Her voice was not loud, but the two sides were too close, so everyone present heard her muttering.
As soon as these words were spoken, the harmonious atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold.
Yun Qiao's eyes turned cold. She looked at Qi Chunhui and asked calmly, "Comrade Qi Chunhui, are you curious about my family situation?"
Qi Chunhui panicked. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "Yes, I'm sorry. I, I... I was a little strange, but I didn't mean any harm."
Seeing Yun Qiao's face suddenly darken, Wei Xing secretly glared at Qi Chunhui and said in a low voice, "Qi Chunhui, if you can't speak, just shut up! No one thinks you're dumb."
However, the words came out of his mind, and Qi Chunhua secretly regretted it after he realized it.
But words spoken out loud are like spilled water, there's no way to take them back. I could only bite the bullet and apologize again: "I'm sorry, Doctor Ye, I really didn't mean to. I just had some doubts and was curious, so I spoke out hastily. Don't be angry..."
When Qi Chunhui falsely accused Yunqiao of stealing industrial tickets, he took advantage of Yunqiao's orphan status to make trouble.
After a year, she could no longer remember some things, but she still remembered clearly that Yun Qiao was an 'orphan', so when the orphan suddenly had a mother, Qi Chunhui was really surprised.
She didn't mean to sabotage, but she did do something unintentional.
Her relationship with Yun Qiao had never been harmonious, and now, there was no possibility of repairing the relationship.
Qi Chunhui lowered his head in annoyance and whispered sorry to Yun Qiao.
Although this incident was caused by Qi Chunhui's slip of the tongue, she bowed and apologized, saying "I'm sorry" three times in a row. If Yun Qiao didn't say "forgiveness", it would seem that she was a bit aggressive.
Feng Juan gently patted Yun Qiao's hand and said soothingly, "Qiao Qiao, don't be angry. Some people are just like they don't have brains. We don't need to bother with them."
Yun Qiao hummed, "No, Mom, I'm not angry."
Yun Qiao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
She never liked to reveal her family secrets to the public, and she didn't bother explaining them to Qi Chunhui. After all, there were no secrets in the company, and if she told anyone, it would quickly become the subject of gossip and jokes.
Finally, Yun Qiao simply said to Qi Chunhui: "Comrade Qi, take care of your careless mouth. Think carefully before you speak and consider what you can and cannot say."
After saying that, she took Feng Juan and turned away.
Looking at Yun Qiao's back, Wei Xing glared at Qi Chunhui without any anger: "Look at you, what are you talking about? Is your brain really muddled? You still want to make peace with Yun Qiao like this? Maybe in the next life!"
Qi Chunhui was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head and didn't dare to say a word the whole time.
In the cafeteria, Yun Qiao found an empty seat and asked Feng Juan to sit first.
"Mom, please sit here and wait for me for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and ask Squad Leader Lin to make some food."
Feng Juan took Yun Qiao's hand and said, "No need to order vegetables, just eat whatever's in the cafeteria. I also want to try what you usually eat."
Yun Qiao hesitated to speak: "Mom, we don't have a cafeteria here, you might not be used to the food..."
Feng Juan was not impressed. "It's okay. No need to order special dishes. If you can eat it, Mom can eat it too."
Yun Qiao couldn't persuade Feng Juan, so he could only nod and agree: "Then go ahead."
The weather is cold, and the company has recently entered a semi-hibernation state. The educated youth have less work to do, so their physical energy consumption is naturally less. The food supply in the canteen is naturally less oily. Every day, the soup is clear and watery, and there is not even a trace of oil on the dishes.
Her mother had fair skin and delicate hands like those of a young girl. There was no sign of calluses from any work, and it was obvious that she had no shortage of food and clothing.
Can people who are used to eating foreign food eat the 'pig food' in the cafeteria?
Yun Qiao was worried and queued up to get food.
The canteen's dinner today includes mixed flour steamed bread, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, pickles: shredded kohlrabi, and a bowl of sweet potato porridge.
Yun Qiao brought the food over and put it on the table. Feng Juan only took one look at it and her heart ached.
"Qiao Qiao, your cafeteria...is this what you eat every day?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, most of the time it's like this."
Feng Juan felt distressed when she heard this: "Is this how you eat steamed bread, pickles, and sweet potato porridge every day? You don't even order eggs or meat. Is that nutritious?"
Yun Qiao spoke honestly, "Occasionally. Maybe once or twice a week."
