Because he had a fruitful harvest yesterday, and also ate sweet canned fruits and grape jam, and today he also dipped his homemade toast in grape jam, He Xianqiu was in a good mood when he went to work this morning.
She came to the office in a good mood and started today's work. She is always very dedicated at work and will move on to the next document after finishing one.
Then after a while, the phone suddenly rang, and He Xianqiu picked it up without even stopping to turn the pages.
"Hello, this is Qinggang Soap Factory."
Then a familiar voice came, and He Xianqiu put down the information in his hand and said with a smile.
"Mom, why are you calling me? Is there something wrong?"
"Have you read the high school books I sent you before?"
"I've finished reading it. I read all the books in high school with Chen Zhou."
"Then I'll show you some more information. It's good to read more books now. Knowledge is always useful."
"Well, then please send it to me. I have finished reading it now, and I do need new information to enrich myself."
He Xianqiu knew that his family must have known about the change in advance, so they called him specially.
But after all, we are not talking face to face now, so I can only explain it hintedly and in a more obscure way.
Ning Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were both reading.
I have told He Xianqiu before that I would find a suitable job for them and arrange for them to move directly to Kyoto.
But He Xianqiu refused, saying that he was living a good life there now. Besides, everyone had to be cautious now, and it would be easy for people to monitor and report whatever he did, so he decided to wait a few more years.
In fact, the reason why He Xianqiu said this was naturally because she planned to pass the college entrance examination and return to Kyoto in a few years, but the resumption of the college entrance examination was a matter for the future, so she could only use other reasons to refuse.
But the He family didn't know that because what He Xianqiu said was really reasonable, and she was doing well in her job at the soap factory, they stopped trying to persuade her and could only give up the idea.
So the He family was ecstatic that they could take the college entrance examination this time.
In addition, since I knew some news in advance, I immediately went to various bookstores to buy reference books for He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou so that they could review better.
Moreover, if He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou pass the college entrance examination, they will come to Kyoto and go to college.
After a few years, you will be able to find a job on your own, and if that doesn't work, your family will be able to help you.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu chatted with Ning Qinglan for a while and talked about children, which made Ning Qinglan very happy.
"He is over three years old now. He can read some books by himself and go to play with other children. He is so well behaved..."
"But he can also be naughty sometimes. Because he doesn't like tomatoes, he would secretly put them into his father's bowl when his father isn't paying attention."
"Tangyuan is so smart and cute. He can read books by himself at such a young age. When you were your age, you loved to go out and play. If your father asked you to write, you would run away."
“It turns out that I didn’t like reading when I was a kid.”
"Yes, you don't like reading anymore when you grow up, but you like reading books when you go to the countryside."
Ning Qinglan was very pleased when she said this. Since going to the countryside, He Xianqiu has become sensible and not as irritable as before.
The two chatted for a while, and then Ning Qinglan had something to do, so He Xianqiu hung up the phone.
Then she went back to work, but there weren't many documents left, so she finished reading them quickly.
After finishing reading, it was not long before getting off work, so He Xianqiu took out a book and read for a while.
When it was time to get off work, He Xianqiu went home.
On the way home, he saw Tangyuan playing under the shed, and He Xianqiu walked towards him.
As soon as Tangyuan saw He Xianqiu, his eyes turned cold, and he stretched his neck to see if there was any ice in He Xianqiu's hand.
Seeing that He Xianqiu had no ice in his hand, there was some disappointment on his pretty little face, and then he asked depressedly.
"Mom, why didn't you bring some ice cubes back today? My son wants to drink iced juice."
He Xianqiu looked at her cub's lost eyes, touched his furry head and explained.
"It's not that hot today so don't drink it. Besides, you're a child, and if you drink too much cold water your stomach will get a stomachache and you'll have diarrhea."
After hearing He Xianqiu's explanation, Tangyuan was still a little disappointed, but he nodded and said okay, because he knew that his mother was afraid that he would have a stomachache or diarrhea.
Seeing that Tangyuan was still unhappy, He Xianqiu kissed his little face and said, "Next time, mom will bring back some ice cubes. Today, we can just use boiled water to make grape jam, okay?"
When Tang Yuan heard his mother say that she would bring it next time, his eyes curved, then he nodded and said, "Well, Mom, let's go make some grape jam."
He Xianqiu smiled and nodded, then took Tangyuan's hand and led him to the main room, where he took out an opened bottle of grape jam from the drawer.
"Make a cup for your dad, too. He likes it, too."
Tangyuan nodded, picked up the spoon and scooped up a few spoonfuls and put them into another bowl.
Then He Xianqiu poured boiled water into the three cups containing grape jam.
Then stir it again, and a glass of sweet grape water comes out.
He Xianqiu and the kid took a sip and then squinted their eyes. It was really delicious.
Although it is not iced, boiled water is also very refreshing.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou came back from picking vegetables in the backyard, and He Xianqiu handed him another glass of grape water.
"I made the tangyuan for you, drink it quickly."
"The glutinous rice balls are great." Ji Chenzhou praised.
Ji Chenzhou did not take the cup of water at first, but put the dishes aside, then washed his hands before taking it.
After taking a sip of grape water, Ji Chenzhou asked, "What do you want to eat?"
He Xianqiu thought about it and finally said, "It's been hot lately and I don't have much appetite for lunch, so let's just cook noodles."
Ji Chenzhou looked at the glutinous rice balls again and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Tang Yuan thought about it and finally said, "I eat noodles just like my mother."
Seeing that the mother and son didn't want to eat, Ji Chenzhou nodded and said, "Then I'll make you some cold noodles."
Then both the mother and son nodded immediately. They hadn’t eaten cold noodles for a long time. Now that the weather is hot, it would be nice to eat cold noodles.
Then Ji Chenzhou went to the kitchen with a basket of vegetables.
Because the noodles were ready-made and there was no need to knead them specifically, Ji Chenzhou cooked the noodles in a short while and then started soaking them in cold water.
He then prepared his own homemade sauce, cut some side dishes, and started putting them into the noodles, stirring them to let the noodles absorb the flavor.
After a while, he brought out a bowl of cold noodles, while his other half was holding a bowl and chopsticks in his hand.
After that, they started to eat lunch.
Because cold noodles are a rare delicacy in the hot summer, and seasoned with vinegar, they are very appetizing.
He Xianqiu ate a little more than usual, and didn't eat until he was 70% full as usual. He ate a lot.
The same goes for Tangyuan. Although he is small in size, he ate two bowls this time because the cold noodles were delicious, and his belly was full.
After eating, he said to Ji Chenzhou seriously, "Dad, I want to eat cold noodles for lunch next time."
Ji Chenzhou touched his head, then smiled and said, "Okay, Dad will make you a cold dish next time. Let's do it at noon tomorrow, okay?"
When Tang Yuan heard this, he was immediately happy. His eyes curved, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Dad."
After that, the family of three, who had eaten their fill, sat in the main room for a while and then went to take a nap.
They are used to taking naps at noon, otherwise they will feel listless in the afternoon.
Especially He Xianqiu, she has to go to work every day. If she doesn’t take a nap at noon, she may not be focused and feel sleepy when she goes to work in the afternoon.
So she would take a nap before going to the soap factory every day, unless there was something particularly important, then she would skip the nap.
So today she did the same as usual, taking a nap before getting up to go to work at the soap factory, and then she started working hard again.
However, when she was immersed in her own world, she suddenly heard a loud noise outside the office.
It was very noisy, and the sound was so sharp and piercing that He Xianqiu could hear it in the office on the second floor. She frowned and walked out of the office.
When the others saw He Xianqiu coming out, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then ran towards He Xianqiu and told her what was going on.
"He Zhiqing, this lady surnamed Chen suddenly came to cause trouble, saying that someone in the factory took her 150 yuan deposit and offered her another 150 yuan to work as a temporary worker, but she didn't get any news, so she came to cause trouble."
When He Xianqiu heard this, his brows frowned even more tightly. This was just a scam. He had to get out of this situation properly.
Then she walked over to the lady sitting on the ground, helped her up, and asked her about the details.
"Auntie Chen, I heard about your story, but who took your 150 yuan deposit, and what happened exactly? Our soap factory has always recruited people, and there is no such thing as someone who can come in without paying money..."
Aunt Chen was helped up by He Xianqiu, and then she said with red eyes and sobs: "I am from the Red Star Brigade. Before, there was a man who came to visit relatives in our brigade and said that if he paid money, he could help find connections to work as a temporary worker in the soap factory. But now a month has passed, and there is still no news. It turns out that his visit to relatives was a lie. There is no relative of his in the brigade at all. I can only come to the soap factory to take a look..."
Aunt Chen's heart ached when she thought of the 150 yuan. This was the money the family had saved for many years and it was also a huge sum of savings for the family.
How could she not be heartbroken? Because of this matter, her old man scolded her and said she was stupid. Now she didn't know what to do, so she could only come to the soap factory to find someone.
In fact, Aunt Chen was also cautious. She told the man the meal would cost three hundred yuan, but she was afraid that he would cheat her, so she only gave him one hundred and fifty yuan.
She will wait until her daughter gets a job as a temporary worker in the soap factory before she gives her the remaining 150 yuan.
Because the soap factory paid very good wages, with eight hours of work a day and various benefits and subsidies, Aunt Chen was particularly tempted. That's why she gave them the 150 years' salary, hoping that they would get her the status of a temporary worker in the soap factory.
By then, if she becomes a formal worker, her family will have an extra large income, and Daya can also meet outstanding male comrades in the commune and county.
But I never expected that he took the 150 yuan and ran away, and now I don’t know where he is.
Now she couldn't find where the person had gone. Aunt Chen really didn't know what to do. She was afraid that she wouldn't get her 150 yuan back.
Thinking of this, Aunt Chen pulled He Xianqiu's hand and said excitedly: "That man said he was an employee of your soap factory. Let me see if there is such a person. You are the leader, right? You must give me justice. How can people from your soap factory lie to me..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Chen became more and more excited and kept holding He Xianqiu's hand.
He Xianqiu's hand was hurt by her grip, and the people next to him saw it and stopped her immediately.
"Auntie, calm down and let go of He Zhiqing's hand first..."
