Chapter 15: Going to work - The sickly young lady's daily routine of eating melons in the courtyard
The next day, when Cen Xi and Lin Qing returned home, they still missed the large group of people going to school and work.
It was another day when Jiang Yang and Lin Qing accidentally missed each other.
Fate is really magical. The two people lived in the same compound, but they missed each other by three days.
After returning home, Cen Xi went to work.
"Can you stay home alone?"
"Do you want me to come back at noon?"
Cen Xi was worried about Lin Qing in many ways, which made her feel a little helpless.
"Don't worry, I can do it. Go to work quickly, you'll be late."
"Okay, then I'm leaving!" Before leaving, Cen Xi went up to her and kissed her forehead.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Okay, I'll leave now. You can go back to sleep! No need to get up so early."
"Yeah." Lin Qing buried himself in his quilt again.
Cen Xi locked the kitchen before leaving. Although there were always people in the yard, there was no guarantee that it was safe.
"Engineer Cen, are you going to work today?" Zhou Qin who was sitting next door asked when he saw Cen Xi.
Cen Xi: "Yes, the wedding leave is only three days. I have to go to work today."
"Then do you want to go together?" Zhou Qin asked.
"Sure." Cen Xi didn't care. They were going to the factory anyway, so it didn't matter whether they went together or not.
"Me too, me too." Jiang Yang suddenly rushed out from the west compartment.
"Jiang Yang, why haven't you gone to work yet? Why are you so late today?" Zhou Qin remembered that on weekdays, he was the last person to go to work in the hospital. When he left, other people who were going to work in the hospital had usually already left.
Today is really strange!
"I got up late today." Jiang Yang laughed. Could he say that he was waiting for Cen Xi to go out?
Of course I can’t say it directly!
He had always wanted to build a good relationship with engineer Cen Xi, but he just couldn't find the time to deal with him in the past few days, so it has been delayed until now.
He knew that the wedding leave in the factory was generally three days, so Engineer Cen would definitely have to go to work today, so he planned to wait for him to go to work together and chat with him to get closer.
"Hello, Mr. Cen! I am Jiang Yang from the Jiang family in the west wing."
Cen Xi would not harbor ill feelings toward someone just because he disliked Aunt Jiang, so he just greeted her in a normal manner.
"Hello, hello."
The three of them were not familiar with each other and didn't know what to talk about, but Jiang Yang couldn't let the topic get dull, otherwise wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
He asked, "Mr. Cen, where are you from?"
"Me? I'm from Haicheng."
"Haicheng? Then why did you come to Ancheng to work?"
"I will go wherever the organization needs me." Cen Xi's answer was very high-sounding, but his tone was very serious.
Jiang Yang and Zhou Qin were both stunned. They didn't expect this to be the answer.
The topic ended suddenly.
Fortunately, Zhou Qin suddenly asked about Jiang Yang's marriage, which prevented the atmosphere from becoming more tense.
"Jiang Yang, when are you getting married? Didn't you say that you had found a partner? Why is there no news at all? Could it be that it's over?" Zhou Qin suddenly felt a little saccharine when he thought of this possibility.
"It's almost time, it's almost time, we'll get married in a few days if we propose." Jiang Yang also saw his gloating expression and of course didn't want to let him be proud.
"Oh, okay!" Zhou Qin was instantly disappointed.
He is the only unmarried young man in the front yard. Gu Hang is already married for the second time, and Jiang Yang is also about to get married for the second time. He is so handsome, why doesn't anyone want him?
They are obviously people of the same age, but they have gotten married, had children, lost their spouses, and remarried, but he hasn't found a marriage partner at all. Different people have different destinies!
Jiang Yang was annoyed by the question and wanted to stab back, "Zhou Qin, have you found anyone on a blind date recently?"
"Alas, I don't know what those women are thinking. I am so handsome, but they don't like me. Forget it. If they don't like me, it's their loss."
Cen Xi's pupils trembled when he heard this. He never thought that Zhou Qin would give him such an evaluation. With his fat head, big ears, thick lips and small eyes, how could he be handsome? Could he be blind?
However, no matter how shocked Cen Xi was, he did not show any abnormality and continued walking forward at a steady pace.
The current situation of the three people was that Cen Xi was walking silently in the middle, listening to the two people talking, Jiang Yang leaned over to ask questions, and Zhou Qin shook the hair on his forehead and answered narcissistically.
"How dare you say that you are handsome and dashing? Look at your face. You are already 30 and haven't found a partner yet. Can't you have some self-awareness?" Jiang Yang's words were not polite at all. After all, he looked down on Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin has been going on blind dates since he started working at the age of 20, but now he is 30 years old, and ten years have passed, and he has not found a single partner.
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you cursing at me? Am I not handsome?"
"Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you about this." Jiang Yang was also impressed by his immense self-confidence.
Cen Xi had been listening silently without expressing his own opinion.
But Zhou Qin didn't want to hear his perfunctory answer, so he asked Cen Xi, "Mr. Cen, what do you think of my appearance? Am I handsome?"
Cen Xi: “…” Still silent as usual.
Cen Xi said that he couldn't say anything that would offend him, so he simply stopped talking.
"Look at you, look at you, anyone with eyes can see that you are not good-looking."
Zhou Qin looked at Cen Xi and glanced at him silently, then said unconvincedly: "Forget it, it's you who don't know how to appreciate beauty. I won't bother with you, hum!"
They just happened to walk into the factory at this moment, and Zhou Qin parted ways with them directly.
Jiang Yang and Cen Xi had nothing much to say to each other, so they said goodbye and went their separate ways.
In the front yard, Jiang Dasao and Jiang Li were washing clothes and chatting with each other.
"The newcomer, Mr. Cen's wife, how come we haven't seen her yet so late?" Jiang Li really wanted to meet Lin Qing. She heard from others that Mr. Cen's wife was very beautiful. She had taken a quick glance at her before. She was very beautiful from the side. How beautiful would she be from the front?
Mrs. Jiang also stared at the Cen family and said jealously, "Mr. Cen's wife is probably lazy. I guess she hasn't gotten up yet!"
"Don't they do laundry at home?" Jiang Li felt that they had to go out and do laundry!
"Washing clothes? That's because you got up late in the morning. Didn't you see that Engineer Cen had already washed the clothes? Look, aren't they hanging there?"
Jiang Li looked towards the door of the Cen family. Yes, she had been looking at the door of the Cen family, but ignored the clothes hanging on the door.
"This... was this washed by Engineer Cen?" Jiang Li was incredulous for a moment.
"That's right. Mr. Cen's wife is so unvirtuous. She still needs men to wash her clothes. What's the point of marrying her?" Mrs. Jiang said with a sour tone.
