On the way back, Song Chen stopped the car in front of a convenience store and bought some ice cream, but he didn't give any to the two children.
"You have an exam this afternoon. Eating something cold will easily freeze your stomach. It's better to wait until after the exam. Xiao Huang, come to our house after the exam and Uncle Song will buy it for you."
Huang Yingjiao felt a little embarrassed. "It's okay, Uncle Song. I don't particularly like eating ice. I have a bad stomach and it will easily give me diarrhea."
She would have diarrhea if she ate fruit at night.
When they arrived at the Lin family's house, Song Chen parked the car under the eaves, and Huang Yingjiao followed Lin Jingbei into the house.
"Teacher Lin!"
"Yingjiao is here." Lin Lu brought the food and dishes to the table.
Li Xianglian and Lin Changchun had already eaten. One returned to the orchard, and the other made an appointment with an old sister to go to the mountains to look for mushrooms.
Not only can you stir-fry and eat them in the evening, but you can also dry them and store them until winter. If you pick up a lot, you can sell them at the vegetable market.
"Teacher Lin, I'm here to eat." Huang Yingjiao was still holding the sunflower that Lin Jingbei gave her. She didn't know where to put it and felt a little embarrassed.
"Welcome." Lin Lu's attention was attracted by the flowers in her hand. Her son had nothing on him except a pencil case, and Song Chen also didn't bring anything.
She asked Song Chen: "Are these the flowers you bought for your child?"
Song Chen put the ice cream in the refrigerator and told Huang Yingjiao to feel free to sit down. He also pulled up a stool next to his wife and sat down. "The flower shop is closed. I picked it in the field. It's natural. It's fresh, beautiful, and edible. It's killing two birds with one stone."
He almost believed it himself.
Lin Lu vomited blood. No wonder his son gave it to the little girl.
Huang Yingjiao's fingers gripped the bowl a little harder, and her nails turned white. The little girl was still a little angry, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Teacher Lin, Uncle Song is so nice. He even thought of sending flowers to Lin Jingbei. My mom even forgot I had an exam today. She's probably still fast asleep right now."
If she hadn't known Cheng Yun well after all these years of getting along, she wouldn't have really thought she was sincere and didn't like her.
Even though she is not her biological mother, she likes this mother very much.
After Cheng Yun and her father got married, they decided not to have any more children, both for her husband's work and to take care of their daughter, Huang Yingjiao. Cheng Yun was also a carefree person, not believing that biological children were always good, and not having such a strong desire to continue the family line. Her husband was a few years older than her and loved her very much. He didn't ask her to work, but just took care of Huang Yingjiao, and let her do whatever she wanted with other things. He even played mahjong every day without saying a word to her.
Huang Yingjiao often sighed that among all the people she had met, apart from Teacher Lin, her mother had the best luck. She had never suffered a single day of hardship in all these years.
Well, I didn’t even have to endure the hardship of studying.
As for her education, she should study as much as she can and rest when she is tired. It doesn’t matter whether she can pass the exam to go to college or not. Anyway, her father is there and she doesn’t have to suffer.
After all, Lin Lu and Cheng Yun had been desk mates for three years, and they knew that person's character. The careless person he was referring to was someone like her.
The principle I follow is: live from day to day, enjoy the good fortune to myself, and force myself to have the bad fortune.
"It's okay, you can eat at my house and wait for her to get anxious."
Huang Yingjiao burst into laughter and said, "Maybe she will sleep until she finishes her exams in the afternoon."
Lin Lu: "She does have that ability."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone knows that Song Chen’s cooking skills are good, and this meal was very filling.
Lin Jingbei went back to the house for a nap. There was a guest room at home. Lin Lu asked Huang Yingjiao if she wanted to lie down in it for a while, and she would call them when the time came.
Song Chen kept staying close to Lin Lu. When Huang Yingjiao was at home, she noticed that the adults wanted to whisper something to her.
She would only disturb others if she continued to stay in the living room, and she wouldn't know where to rest if she went back to school early, so she might as well stay in their guest room for a while.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Lin."
"Why are you so polite today? You're so familiar with me, and you keep thanking me. Just treat me like your own home, and do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Huang Yingjiao smiled: "Okay."
Although it was cooler downstairs than upstairs, it was still a bit hot at noon, especially in small rooms where heat was most likely to accumulate. Lin Lu moved a small fan over to her.
After closing the door of the guest room and coming out, Song Chen was still slumped on the sofa, with a TV series playing at a low volume. He glanced at Lin Lu from time to time.
Lin Lu: "Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?"
Song Chen shook his head: "No, I'm not sleepy today." He patted the seat next to him: "Come sit and watch TV."
Lin Lu sat next to him and asked him, "How are things at the factory going?"
The factory couldn't be moved there, so at most they could arrange everything and let the people here do it. Song Zidong had been taking care of that kid for a few years, and he had learned a lot. He managed the juice factory well, so Song Chen felt more at ease.
It's just that we can't find anyone capable of managing the brick factory.
His second and third brothers were too honest and could only do brainless work.
The same goes for my cousins, none of them are capable of taking on the main responsibility.
It's not possible to train anyone.
So, the brick factory issue is a bit tricky.
I told Lin Lu about the situation and asked her to analyze it for me.
Lin Lu felt that this was a bit like the ancient inheritance system, with elections only within the family. "Why don't you expand the scope and see if there are any people with outstanding abilities, or your former comrades? We are now in an era where strength speaks for itself. As long as you strictly control the overall direction, others will not be able to cause any trouble."
Song Chen's thoughts were still somewhat constrained. After thinking carefully about Lin Lu's words, he felt that they made a lot of sense.
"I actually have a candidate. He's one of my former apprentices. I taught them for two years, but they all went back to their hometowns during the big layoffs a few years ago. I think that kid is good, so I'd like to ask him."
Lin Lu: "Where are you from? Are you from our area?"
Song Chen: "No, I'm from the next province. I'm currently working in the commune back home. I wonder if you're willing to give up your stable job and come work for me."
Lin Lu thought: "You can ask, there's a number whether you come or not."
Song Chen retired from the army very suddenly, and only a few people knew the reason. The child was one of them. He cried loudly at the time and didn't want him to leave.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Zong Chen had his own things to do, so he only left him an address.
The kid also wrote him a letter when he was discharged from the army, and Song Ye only then knew about his situation. He told Zong Chen to let him know if he needed any help.
Song Chen's career was on the rise at that time, but he was very busy, so he simply replied with a letter and checked in on the other party's situation every year.
But the letters stopped last year, and Song Chen didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, he left his phone number in a letter one time.
