Chapter 24 Chapter 24 It is because of Miss Chen that...
Thinking of this, Charlie looked up at the woman in the distance who was like a lioness proudly patrolling her territory, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But his eyes did not bend as usual.
As if sensing something, the woman opposite who was not wearing work clothes but was dressed fashionably also stopped, raised her head and looked in Xia Li's direction. Seeing her provocative smile, her face, which was not smiling to begin with, suddenly became even gloomier.
Even though they were separated by several production lines, the two men still seemed to be able to exchange glances for several rounds, with sparks flying and lightning flashing, and neither of them was willing to show weakness.
What a joke, who is afraid of who?
Really, it was because of Miss Chen that Xia Li felt that working in this factory was not that difficult and that her life was quite enjoyable.
Who doesn’t find an enemy for themselves when working? Otherwise, how can they get through the days?
The workers on both sides seemed to be able to feel that their team leaders were interacting with the other side again. Some of them could not help but slow down their work pace and looked up to pay attention. The two team leaders noticed it, and then they each snorted coldly, without turning their heads to look at each other.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and do your job," Miss Chen urged the female workers on the production line in a cold voice. She was very strict about work and would not tolerate any laziness or mistakes from her subordinates.
The female workers under her also knew the temper of their team leader. After hearing the lecture, they didn't even dare to raise their heads and just hurriedly focused on what they were doing.
It's just that mistakes are easy to make in a hurry, which caused Miss Chen to sternly question: "It's a mistake! What happened to you? You still make a mistake after working on it for so long? Take it out quickly." The female worker was young and thin-skinned after all. She corrected the work at hand with a red face and tears in her eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame! Such a beautiful person has a ferocious expression every day.
Xia Li adjusted her expression, moved her facial muscles and smiled a few times. She didn't want to be like the woman opposite her, who felt as if everyone owed her money and had a sour face. People like that are not blessed.
"Okay, stop looking and just get started. Don't let the other groups overtake you."
At lunch time, Charlie sat next to her people with her food and water.
She just found a seat here and sat down. The person next to her didn't say anything, but was worried that she would be squeezed, so he moved a little to the side to make some space for Charlie.
The lunch time is when everyone is alone, so after being bored all morning, now that they have time they start chattering.
In fact, in her opinion, there is not much difference between ordinary workers and small bosses. She is also tired after a whole morning and has not even had time to drink a few sips of water. Unlike the workshop director, she has her own office. If there is nothing to do, she can rest for a while in the office.
She picked up the cup and took a few gulps of water. The weather was very hot, and then she picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Girls always have endless things to talk about when they are together, even when they are eating, they can't be idle.
I was originally complaining about work, but someone suddenly brought up one of the girls.
Xia Li was surprised to hear this. Isn't this the girl with permed hair that she saw in the morning?
The girl's name is Wang Fang. Like everyone else, she came here from the countryside to work. She has been working on Xia Li's production line for almost half a year. She doesn't talk much and is quite shy. Sometimes, some lively girls will come up to her and talk to her when they see her team leader who is kind to them. This girl will also come over, but Xia Li has never seen her say anything. She always watches quietly from the side.
So, although she knew, she didn't quite understand this girl.
Xia Li noticed Wang Fang immediately this morning because she thought it was amazing that she had a perm. If the other girls in her group had perms, she wouldn't have been surprised, but when she saw Wang Fang today, she found it incredible.
It's not that she, Xia Li, thinks that because she permed her hair, others can't perm their hair or keep up with the fashion. She doesn't have such ridiculous ideas.
But there are not many people who perm their hair now, let alone those who perm their hair into big waves. There are only two people in the factory, Miss Chen and her sister Xia Li, and today there is one more person, Wang Fang. As for other girls who love beauty, at most they can perm their hair into small curls in a very conventional way.
However, although she felt a little surprised at the time, she thought about it and realized that there was nothing to be surprised about, so she didn't take it to heart.
When the son heard other people discussing the matter, he realized that these girls who had a lot of contact with Wang Fang seemed to be surprised by her change.
Charlie looked up and found that the main subject of the topic was not sitting here, but was sitting far away. No wonder these people could discuss it here.
"Alan, aren't you from the same place? You used to be together all the time. Do you know how Afang is doing recently?" A girl asked curiously after swallowing the food in her mouth.
The others followed suit and looked at the girl named Alan.
Alan saw everyone was looking at her, not knowing what to say. She glanced in Afang's direction and shook her head. "Afang has been acting strange lately, she's definitely different than before, but she hasn't told me anything and hasn't been with me most of the time."
She and Alan grew up together, from the same village. They used to work here together, going in and out together, just to look after each other. Things were fine for a while, but then, at some point, Alan suddenly started to distance herself from her, and not just her, but also the other friends she used to play with.
She was also very curious and worried that something had happened to Afang.
But Afang's attitude showed that she was fine. Thinking back to that night when she stopped Afang and asked what was wrong, Afang was stunned for a moment, then actually smiled, but her smile made her even more confused. She replied that she was fine, what could have happened, and that she would have a good life in the future.
Everyone felt that this was not the right answer. Their circle was too small, and their entertainment life was too little, so even a small thing could arouse people's curiosity and attention for a long time.
Everyone knew that the shy and honest Afang had changed so much, and something must have happened. But since Alan, who was closest to Afang, didn't know, then they could only drop the topic for now and talk about other things, but the doubt would not be dispelled.
There were no orders to rush at the factory recently, so Xia Li punched out on time at six o'clock.
She changed out of her work clothes, picked up her bag, and walked towards the bus stop without stopping.
Although I was at work that day, I sometimes thought about how Jiang Zai was doing at home. After all, he had just arrived here and I was not with him.
Thinking of this, she felt a strange sense of unease. She was in a hurry to go to work this morning, and she wondered if this little guy would be anxious if he woke up in the morning and couldn't see her. Did she tell Jiang Zai yesterday that she had to go to work early this morning? She should have told him.
Xia Li felt uneasy. She had originally thought about taking a bus to the department store to buy some delicious food for Jiang Zai. But now she decided to forget it. She decided to go home first and take the child out for a walk later.
After getting off the car, Xia Li didn't dare to delay for a moment and walked quickly all the way. When passing through the alley, she saw people she knew and just nodded as a greeting, but her steps did not stop.
Finally arriving at the door of her home, Xia Li felt relieved because at least she didn't hear any crying or shouting from inside, which meant that the child might have adapted well and was not making a fuss.
But I'm not too sure, because Jiangzai doesn't seem to be the kind of child who would cry and scream.
She pushed open the door and went in, feeling that something was wrong in the house. This was the intuition of a good woman.
Although there are not many people in the house and it is quiet on weekdays, the atmosphere is always different.
There was no aunt's voice, nor was there ginger's voice.
That's strange.
That is, not good!
Charlie quickly ran into the house and threw her bag onto the table in the living room.
She went straight to her bedroom, opened the door and saw her child lying on the bed and her aunt sitting beside the bed with a sad face.
When Xia Pingzhi heard the door open, she turned around and relaxed immediately when she saw Xia Li coming back. She also looked very tired.
She stood up and said to Xia Li, "Take good care of the child. He started crying when he saw you were gone this morning. It broke my heart. I couldn't stop coaxing him. He didn't eat much all day. Just wait and see. I'll go make him something to eat."
Seeing that nothing was wrong at home, Charlie was no longer so anxious. She responded, watched her aunt go out, and then slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
She inched her body inside, saying in a flattering tone, "Jiangzai, Jiangzai, Mommy's back from get off work. I'm so sorry. I forgot whether I told Jiangzai yesterday that I was going to work today. It's Mommy's fault. Jiangzai, please don't be angry, okay?"
The little body was still lying on its side, with its back against Charlie, and there was no movement.
This was the first time Charlie felt so guilty towards a man. Even his father had never received this treatment.
In the end, I said all the nice things I could, but this villain still didn't respond.
So, she could only shamelessly stick her head out, lean her body, and take a peek secretly.
Jiang Zai seemed to sense the movement as well. He opened his eyes, looked at Xia Li's face, and soon his eyes were filled with tears.
This was a serious matter. She pursed her lips and looked extremely aggrieved.
Charlie was frightened and quickly hugged the person into her arms, rocking him gently and patting his waist and back, trying her best to comfort him.
After a long while, he led the little man out of the house and into the living room.
Xia Pingzhi heard the noise and came out. Seeing Xia Li had coaxed the child and brought him out, she couldn't help but sigh, "She's really a real mother. She coaxed the child in no time. Auntie will be ready for dinner soon. It's delicious food for us Jiangzai."
When Xia Li heard this, she remembered something and quickly said to her aunt, "Aunt, I forgot to tell you just now. You don't have to worry so much. Jiang Zi and I will go out and make a phone call. I think Jiang Zi's grandmother is also waiting for news."
Xia Pingzhi cried out, "Of course, of course. Take the child there quickly and don't keep them waiting too long."
"Okay, Auntie, we'll be back soon."
A landline phone is not very necessary for Xia Pingzhi or Xia Li, not to mention that she doesn't even have a pager now.
Landline phones are not cheap and most people cannot afford to install them. If they really need one, they have to go to the door of a store and pay to make a call.
Charlie took Jiangzai's hand and walked out of the door, heading straight to the store.
