A remote county in XX province.
Xu Weihua and Su Changqing, looking travel-worn, carried large bags and small packages into an alley.
Having lived a life of luxury for most of their lives, the two of them have experienced hardships they had never known before in the past six months.
"Mom is the best at handling things. If I had stayed any longer, I would have been buried right there on that farm."
Xu Weihua's gentle face had a pair of very vivid eyes.
He threw his things on the ground as soon as he entered the house.
She took the quilt out of the bag and was about to spread it on the kang (a heated brick bed). She didn't want to stand for another second; she had to lie down immediately.
"Weihua, wait a minute, get some water and wipe it clean, look, it's covered in dust."
Su Changqing grabbed Xu Weihua's hand and pointed to the kang (a heated brick bed).
"I'm exhausted. I'll get up and tidy up later. No one sleeps on the inside of this blanket anyway, so it's okay if it gets dirty."
"No, no, no, don't move. Come here, sit here. I'll do it, I'll do it."
Su Changqing quickly pulled over a rickety stool, dusted it off, and let his wife sit down.
He quickly found a basin and went outside to get some water.
Xu Weihua seemed to have gotten used to it, and obediently slumped on the stool with her eyes closed to rest.
Not long after, Xu Weihua, who was dozing off, felt himself flying.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw Su Changqing carrying her and placing her on the newly made kang (a heated brick bed).
He brushed her hair aside, then brought her some water to wash her face, neck, hands, and feet.
Xu Weihua was very well-behaved while asleep, with a pointed chin and a small nose.
Su Changqing looked at his wife's sleeping face with eyes full of pity.
"You've lost a lot of weight."
Although Su Yi's comrade-in-arms Uncle Qi was looking after them at the farm, it only meant that they wouldn't be deliberately mistreated.
They had to keep up with roughly the amount of work others did each day.
The food was also poor.
If it weren't for the fact that they had secretly kept a lot of money and tickets with Uncle Qi, so that Uncle Qi could secretly send them some food every now and then.
They might not have made it this far.
The feeling of those chopsticks scraping your intestines is truly unpleasant.
He reached up and touched the top of his head. His hair was thinning, and he thought it was time for him to get a hat.
With a heavy heart, Su Changqing washed his face before starting to tidy up the house.
Judging from the situation, they expect to stay here for quite some time.
I need to get ready quickly and then go to the county hospital to complete the registration procedures.
They'd better be careful with the money they brought with them.
It's the 28th now, and there are only three days left. He has to seize this last chance to get his salary for the month.
Xu Weihua slept until sunset, then took a shower. Su Changqing had already cooked the porridge.
"Wei Hua, come here quickly, I just cooked something simple, and I also cooked an egg for you."
"Let's make do for now, I'll see if I can buy meat later."
Xu Weihua didn't stand on ceremony at all. He sat down and started cracking a hard-boiled egg on the edge of the table.
"Why did you only cook one? What about you?"
"I only got five eggs in return. I'm fine. You can have them. I'll leave them all for you."
"I am a man."
Su Changqing was overjoyed to see that his wife cared about him.
Xu Weihua lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
Men who are obsessed with love are a bit annoying, but they seem pretty appealing!
Su Changqing completed the formalities that afternoon and went to work at the morgue the next day.
The work in the morgue is very easy; he is only responsible for preparing documents, and sometimes he may not have anything to do for several days.
At home, he does all the housework. When we got to the morgue, he was exhausted, so he just lay down and fell asleep. It was quite cool there.
I woke up from a nap, and it was time to go home again.
Xu Weihua slept at home for three days straight.
I didn't have to get up until the morning of the 1st.
This job cost her a lot of money, and the official document said she should arrive as soon as possible before the 1st, but it didn't specify a timeframe.
With the 1st already here, Xu Weihua had no more excuses to continue lying down.
After dawdling over his packing, he went to the Peace Newspaper Office with a military green satchel printed with a five-pointed star on his back.
Xu Weihua was dumbfounded when he saw the iron general hanging on the door and swaying in front of him.
Looking up, I saw that it was indeed the sign for the Peace Newspaper.
I looked at my wrist again; it was 11:20 a.m.
Why is the newspaper office still not open at 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday, the 1st?
I've never heard of any company that gives employees a day off on the 1st or Tuesday.
Wasn't the start of work at nine o'clock? She's already more than two hours late!
What happened?
Was my mother-in-law scammed? Did the newspaper go out of business? Or did they move?
Just as she was questioning her life, a clear female voice rang out.
Hello, who are you?
Xu Weihua raised her head, pulled in her stomach, and revealed a standard eight-tooth smile before turning around.
"Hello, I am Xu Weihua, the new editor at the Peace Newspaper."
"Oh, I know you, Sister Xu. Just call me Xiao Li."
As he spoke, Xiao Li took out his keys and opened the door.
"Please come in. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here so early."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Xu Weihua looked puzzled. "Morning?"
"Yes, the other editors usually only show up in the afternoon to clock in."
Xu Weihua's eyes lit up, suppressing her inner joy.
Nursing home!
She made the right choice coming to this company.
The first thing Granny Yu did after waking up was to run to Liu Dazhu's house and cry.
When her husband was alive, he had the best relationship with Liu Dazhu, and the two families always kept in touch.
Over the years, after Yu Datou passed away, Liu Dazhu took good care of them.
Tang Liping really shouldn't have entered the Yu family. On her first formal visit, she almost died with a smile on her face.
