Chapter 90
Yan Lei had earned a false reputation in vain.
He wanted to have a nice bed, but it didn't work out. Qiao Wei didn't want to
have sex with him. Yan Lei hadn't been rejected for a long time.
"What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be angry." Yan Lei was helpless and held Qiao Wei on his lap to coax her.
I'm angry that you became a stepfather after marrying a second wife and treated Xiangxiang badly.
Qiao Wei knew that this reason was not valid, let alone saying it. But she was angry with real feelings, and she felt uncomfortable holding it in her heart.
"It's okay." She said sullenly, "I'll be fine in a while."
Yan Lei asked, "Is it about work?"
"It's okay at work, I just ignore them." Qiao Wei said.
Yan Lei paused: "What's wrong with them? Are they bullying me?"
"Well, it's the usual thing. The superior unit treats the people seconded from the subordinate unit like cattle and horses. I don't buy their tricks, so they isolate me." Qiao Wei didn't think so.
In Qiao Wei's view, these behaviors are not only snobbish but also ridiculous, revealing a kind of childishness that is hard to describe. In later generations, it usually only appears in the dormitories of girls' high schools and girls' universities, and rarely appears in the workplace.
The topic was successfully changed.
Because Yan Lei's face turned cold.
Suddenly, Qiao Wei's sulking about the wrong time and space was forgotten, and she comforted Yan Lei instead: "Don't worry, I won't let myself get angry."
What she said was... Who was the one who was sulking for no reason and refused to explain why?
Although Yan Lei was just complaining silently in his heart, his eyes were very clear.
Qiao Wei couldn't help but get angry and say, "I was in a bad mood just now."
"Did someone gossip in front of you?" Yan Lei held Qiao Wei's waist tightly, "Don't pay attention to them. The sisters-in-law don't have any bad intentions. They are just like that. You know that."
At this point, Qiao Wei simply went with the flow and admitted, "Well, I ignore them."
But she straightened her back and became serious, "Yan Lei, I have something to tell you seriously."
"You talk, I listen."
"About having children," Qiao Wei said, "I don't want to have children anymore."
Yan Lei said in surprise, "Didn't we agree on this a long time ago? Why are you saying it again? Haven't I always worn that thing obediently?"
That was agreed with Qiao Weiwei before.
Now it's with Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei thought she was ridiculous. She was an adult, but she wanted a sense of ceremony like a little girl. She wanted to formally reach this agreement with Yan Lei with her own identity.
When she took over everything before, she just felt that it was a blessing in disguise. Now she actually cares about it.
So childish.
But serious things still need to be said seriously: "You have to wear it from the beginning, not halfway."
The couple was in a sweet mood, and they couldn't stop a few times, so they only put it on at the last minute.
But in fact, the body fluids secreted by men from the beginning already contain a small amount of semen. So some unexpected pregnancies are caused by this. The safest thing is to wear it from the beginning.
Yan Lei was helpless, but still agreed: "Okay."
He was so compromising, Qiao Wei felt sorry for him again. She kissed him, thought for a while and said: "Don't do it so frequently in the future. I think once a week is enough."
Two 40-60 minute one-way trips on a manned bicycle every day, morning jogging on Sundays, and sex once a week.
Healthy, well-nourished, perfect!
Yan Lei directly pinched her waist and threatened: "Wait until I'm 70 years old, once a week. Now, I listen to you and wear that carefully, you are not allowed to reject me for no reason."
Once a week at the age of 70? I respect you as a hero if you do it once a year at the age of 70.
However, Qiao Wei's emotional intelligence would not say such words that hurt a man's self-esteem.
She said seriously: "It's not for no reason. The Chairman said that young people are the sun at eight or nine o'clock. The Chairman also said that we should study hard and make progress every day."
"Young people like us should not indulge in these low tastes."
"We should respond to the call, be pure people, be moral people, be people who are free from low tastes, and be people who are beneficial to the people."
Qiao Wei broke away from Yan Lei's arms and stood up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Comrade Yan Lei, I admit that you are a war hero, but you still have a lot of room for improvement in other aspects."
Yan Lei not only failed to reconcile, but also fell backwards in anger.
What's more infuriating is that Zhao Dongsheng looked at him with a wrong look on Monday morning.
Yan Lei: "?"
Seeing Yan Lei looking over, Captain Zhao turned his eyes away.
It was too obvious.
Yan Lei said, "If you have to fart, just let it out."
"Hey, how are you talking to Big Brother?
" "You're holding your fart in."
"Tsk." Captain Zhao laughed wickedly, "Well, your sister-in-law and I are happy for you."
Yan Lei: "?"
Captain Zhao: "It happened yesterday."
Yan Lei: "What happened yesterday?"
Captain Zhao laughed even more wickedly: "It happened when Xiangxiang came over yesterday."
Yan Lei had a bad feeling. He asked Yan Xiang to go play with the army yesterday. What was Yan Xiang talking about there?
"Well, it's..." Captain Zhao gestured with his hands, like he was conducting a symphony, "There is strength in numbers, and more people produce more."
So young people should make more babies.
Yan Lei: "..."
Hearing the sound of wheels in the distance, Yan Lei ran away.
"Hey, don't go. I haven't finished talking yet. I told you long ago that you should have a baby while you are still young, so that you can raise the baby together and save trouble. Hey, did you hear me?"
The elder brother followed him with a nagging voice.
Qiao Wei returned the bicycle of the town committee member early on Monday morning.
The warehouse manager asked, "Are you back now?"
"No," Qiao Wei said, "My family bought a bicycle, so we don't need the one from the town committee anymore."
The warehouse manager also saw it on Sunday, when the families of military officers rode their bicycles all over the streets.
"Huo, can you ride a 28-inch bicycle?" The warehouse manager looked at Qiao Wei's small body and was a little worried.
"My family bought a 26-inch women's bicycle, which is the same as this one."
Hearing that it was a 26-inch women's bicycle, the warehouse manager felt distressed: "Oh."
Qiao Wei was puzzled.
She quickly walked home, pushed the new bicycle, and went to Sister Yang's place to pick up Yan Xiang.
Sister Yang said, "You are so nice. There are only two women's bicycles, one belongs to the daughter of Teacher Pan, and the other is yours. Now, people will talk about you behind your back again."
Qiao Wei: "???"
It's inexplicable. The warehouse keeper also sighed inexplicably.
Sister Yang said, "Bicycles are so difficult to buy, who would buy a women's bicycle?"
First of all, it is a means of transportation for the main person in the family. The main person in the family is basically assumed to be the man of the family.
Then the transportation capacity of the 28-bar bicycle is really not comparable to the slash women's bicycle. Squeeze together, sit two children on the front crossbar, and the wife holds another child on the back seat, and a family of five can go on a 28-bar bicycle.
There is no room for people to sit in the front of the slash women's bicycle, and at most only three people can be carried on one bicycle.
That's how it is. Qiao Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. He always talks about learning from the Communist Party, but why doesn't he put it into practice?" Qiao Wei said, "Brother Zhao has a jeep from the army to pick him up when he goes to and from work. If something happens, it's not impossible to borrow a bus from Xiao Zhang. If you want to buy a women's bike, you and Xixi can ride it to buy groceries. Put a child seat in the back, so that Wu Nier can sit there conveniently."
"Now you get a 28-inch bike, when will Brother Zhao use it? Ah, when will he use it?"
"Sister-in-law, you two can't ride it. It's a real waste to leave it at home gathering dust, waiting for Brother Zhao to have time to visit it one day."
"Look at my bike. Yes, it's not as good as the 28 bike in terms of hauling people and things, but you see I ride it every day. Xiangxiang sits in the back, how comfortable and beautiful. Right, Xiangxiang?"
Yan Xiang was particularly supportive and nodded immediately, trying to convince Sister Yang: "It's very comfortable, and you don't have to hold on to mom's belt."
"Look." Qiao Wei said, "Whether something is wasted or not depends on whether its use value is realized."
"It's not a waste if a child draws all over a piece of paper. It's a waste if it's left there and gets eaten by worms and can't be written on. It's not a waste if a child uses a dollar to buy snacks. It's a waste if the dollar is burned to ashes in the cracks of the stove tiles because you don't want to spend it..."
Sister Yang's face changed: "Will it burn to ashes?"
Qiao Wei: "?"
Sister Yang turned around and went to the kitchen!
Qiao Wei: "..."
Some noises came out of the kitchen, accompanied by Sister Yang's exclamation.
Fortunately, Sister Yang came out holding a roll of banknotes: "It's not gray, but it's yellowed! God, thank goodness you reminded me!"
Qiao Wei: "..."
"If it's been a long time, it will really turn to gray." Sister Yang was still worried, "I didn't put it there originally. There was a rat before, and I was afraid that the rat would bite it, so I opened the stove and stuffed it in... It wasn't long."
Sister Yang was so grateful that she slapped Qiao Wei on the shoulder: "Thank you so much!"
Qiao Wei almost fell down with her car.
On this Monday morning, saving the savings of Captain Zhao's family was also refreshing.
And Qiao Wei estimated that Captain Zhao's family's savings were not as much as hers. Yan Lei is really good at saving money!
In the future, with her own salary, as there is only one child in the family, all the money saved can be used to improve the quality of life.
Life is beautiful!
The child seat on the back seat of the bicycle attracted attention as soon as I entered the county town. All the way to the county government, people turned their heads to look at me.
I was also stared at when I entered the unit.
Many strangers greeted her: "Your new bike."
"What a beautiful women's bike."
"This chair is great, it's so comfortable for kids to sit on."
"Look at this part below, it protects the legs, so the feet won't get stuck in there."
"My child's legs got caught by the wheels, and he cried in pain. The axles were bent, and it was hard to find someone to fix it."
"This one is good, this one is good."
Qiao Wei was forced to socialize and told everyone a few key points: "The backrest and leg guards are the most important. For the rest, armrests are optional, but footrests are best, so the legs are comfortable."
Those who needed it took note and planned to get one.
Qiao Wei sent Yan Xiang to kindergarten.
The teachers all welcomed him.
"Xiangxiang is so clean again." The teacher said, "You have to tell a story today too."
Yan Xiang was full of energy: "Okay!"
If a child has a bad time in kindergarten, it will be reflected directly in his emotions, and he can't pretend.
Seeing Yan Xiang like this, Qiao Wei felt relieved about the kindergarten. After all, it is a kindergarten for the children of the town government, and the quality is better than kindergartens in other places.
Qiao Wei carried her bag and walked into the department office: "Good morning, Section Chief."
Section Chief Zhou now has a much better impression of her, and feels that she is not the kind of arrogant and arrogant troublemaker in Qingshan Town. She would greet him and report everything after returning from the town committee office, and she had this section chief in her eyes.
As for the relationship between her and the staff, as long as they don't quarrel or make trouble, and don't take the initiative to ask him to solve the problem, it's not a big deal. Section
Chief Zhou responded in a friendly manner: "Good morning. The weather is nice today."
"Yes, the scenery is nice when you ride a bike." Qiao Wei smiled brightly. She
was obviously squeezed out and annoyed for the past two days, but she was still so cheerful, which made people feel comfortable.
This ability to withstand pressure impressed Section Chief Zhou.
Some people were not happy with it and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's still early now, we have been doing it for an hour."
Qiao Wei ignored him and handed the manuscript to Section Chief Zhou: "This is what Secretary Meng wants. He asked me to submit it to him today. Section Chief, please take a look first and check it."
Section Chief Zhou put on his glasses and read it once, with an admiring look in his eyes.
Moreover, the handwriting of this manuscript was beautiful, the paper was clean, and there was no trace of correction at all. It was obviously proofread and copied.
Section Chief Zhou nodded: "Go, send it to the secretary as soon as possible."
Qiao Wei went to the office.
The person who was ignored was very angry and cursed: "Is this person deaf?"
Some people felt that Qiao Wei was not someone to be trifled with, so they advised: "Forget it, forget it."
"What's the big deal? We've been at work for an hour, and she's still saying 'morning'. How shameless." But the person was so unreasonable that he insisted on saying, "Who is like her? I've never seen anyone like her. Section Chief, please say something."
If this person didn't cue the section chief, the section chief would pretend not to hear. This person had to cue the section chief.
In this case, Section Chief Zhou had to say a few words.
He thought about this seconded girl, and the talent that could be seen between the lines of her articles must be in line with the wishes of the leaders above, otherwise they would not have specifically seconded her to the county. But Qiao Wei has never been disrespectful to him since she came here.
Think about this girl walking in with a sunny look on her face, which makes people feel comfortable. Look at the sour faces of some people.
It is so clear who likes them and who doesn't.
"When they come back, ask them what time they left. Then look at what time you left." Section Chief Zhou said, "Your bus will arrive in five minutes, but they will ride for an hour. When they left, you were still picking your eye boogers in your quilt."
There was a burst of laughter in the department.
"Everyone, be quiet." Section Chief Zhou spoke to Qiao Wei, who was seconded for the first time, and set the tone. "Colleagues from lower-level units are seconded here to help us reduce the burden. They have a child with them, and they have overcome difficulties to get here. As long as you don't slack off at work and don't make mistakes, be quiet, and don't let me hear it again. Colleagues should be kind and friendly, help each other, and no bad practices are allowed in my department."
Before, the leader pretended to be dead, which was equivalent to tacit approval. The subordinates dared to do whatever they wanted.
Now that the leader has spoken and set the tone, whoever disobeys will be disrespecting the leader.
The department is quiet.
Someone muttered: "Why is he seconded here with a child? There is no one in Xiahekou?"
Some people were confused, while others listened thoughtfully.
Section Chief Zhou pretended not to hear and picked up the teacup to drink tea. It is up to you
to cultivate your life. No one is obligated to be your life mentor or teach you office philosophy. Whether you want to understand or see through it depends on yourself.
What is a good person in the office? If
he doesn't set a trap for you or dig a pit for you to jump into, he is a good person.
If he sees the pit but doesn't remind you and watches you jump into it, as long as the pit is not dug by him, he is not a bad person.
At most, he is... an ordinary colleague.
