Chapter 82: Getting Ready - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
On the day of the exam, Lin Qing got up with Cen Xi for the first time.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer? It's still early!" Cen Xi asked Lin Qing who was sleepy.
Lin Qing still remembered that he had to get up to take the exam, so he squinted his eyes and shook his head.
"The exam starts at nine o'clock, and it's only seven o'clock now. We are close to the factory, so we don't have to get up so early!"
Lin Qing sat there motionless, with his eyes closed, and it was unknown whether he heard anything or not.
"Lie back down and wake up. I'll call you later!" Cen Xi still felt that it was too early. Although his wife went to bed early yesterday, she might still be feeling a little uncomfortable. So he asked her to lie back down and take a nap for a while. She would probably be able to open her eyes better later!
Lin Qing may have figured it out and fell back onto the bed!
Cen Xi started the routine that he would repeat every morning!
After Cen Xi left the yard, he found that it was really lively there!
They were all awake. It was said that all the young wives who were going to take the exam were awake. However, it was still early and there was no rush, so he did not turn around to wake up his own wife.
It's a pity that on such a peaceful morning, there are always some people who don't want him to be peaceful!
"Engineer Cen, your husband isn't asleep yet, is he? He has to take the job exam today! It will be too late if the time is up!" Mrs. Jiang said in a weird tone as she stood at the door of the west wing.
Cen Xi looked at the watch on his wrist in front of her, frowned and answered seriously, "No, it's only a quarter past seven now, and the exam starts at nine o'clock. It will take less than ten minutes to get from our hospital to the factory at the fastest speed. So even if my wife gets up at half past eight, spends ten minutes washing and eating, and another ten minutes going to the factory, she will still make it in time!"
Cen Xi directly presented the facts and reasoned with her, which immediately made Jiang Dasao speechless.
What should I do? What he said makes a lot of sense! Suddenly I don’t know how to refute it!
Perhaps realizing that Mrs. Jiang had nothing to say, Cen Xi did not press her any further, but instead took the urinal and went to the toilet!
Yes, he was about to go to the toilet and empty the urine pot when he was stopped by Mrs. Jiang's words.
"you……"
Cen Xi's calm attitude was even more infuriating, and Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she jumped to her feet!
Can you achieve something?
He gets up every morning to empty the urinal. Which man is as useless as him?
"Wife! Let's be honest with you. If Mr. Cen is considered a loser, then what am I, your husband? A good-for-nothing?" Jiang Hai suddenly said from the side.
Oh, it turned out that she accidentally said what she was muttering in her heart, and Jiang Hai heard it.
"Isn't it incompetent of him to do the work that a woman should do every day?" That's what Mrs. Jiang thought in her heart.
"Wife, Engineer Cen is an engineer in our factory, the treasure of our factory. If he is not promising, then what is considered promising?"
“…”
Is this what she wanted to say?
What she wanted to say was that Cen Xi always helped Lin Qing do the housework that she was supposed to do, so she called her useless and useless!
Who wants to talk about work?
If we talk about work, few people can do better than him!
"I want to say..." Mrs. Jiang wanted to say what she wanted to say, but Jiang Haiyi didn't listen at all and interrupted her directly!
"Engineer Cen is a great engineer, you can't say he is useless, idiot. If he is useless, then we would be... uh... probably become waste!" Jiang Hai explained in a long stream!
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she gasped, "Okay, since you don't think he is useless and worthless, then if he, a great engineer, can do it, then you, a small worker, can't do it?"
"What is it?"
"Empty the chamber pot every morning and get up to make breakfast for me!" said Mrs. Jiang in a cold voice.
Jiang Hai frowned when he heard this, "Isn't this what you women should do? Why are you asking me to do this?"
"Humph! What do you mean by what a woman should do? The engineer Cen, who you just mentioned has great potential, also does these things every day. How come you can't do this when you go out and do nothing like him?"
"Anyway, it wasn't me who did it. If you asked me to do these, my mother would definitely not agree." After Jiang Hai said this, he ran back to the room!
“……”Well, if you can’t help it, just go find the parents, right?
Mrs. Jiang was angry again, and this time she was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him anymore!
At first, Lin Qing really wanted to get up with Cen Xi, but she really couldn't open her eyes. However, her mind was able to receive external signals, so when Cen Xi proposed it, she just thought about it for a while and agreed!
After lying back down, her thoughts did become clearer, and twenty minutes later she opened her eyes.
I took out my watch from under my pillow and looked at it. It was a little past seven-thirty, quite early.
This time she finally didn't stay there any longer, but got up from the bed and continued to wash up!
"Qingqing, are you awake?"
"Hmm. What do they have for breakfast?"
"Come and sit down. I made some steamed buns. They will be ready in a while. You can put these side dishes on the table. They will be ready in a while." Cen Xi instructed while looking at the fire.
"Okay!" Lin Qing looked at the situation and it seemed to be almost ready.
Their breakfast is relatively simple, just making sure they are full.
After the couple finished their breakfast.
"You should go to work first, it's almost time!" Lin Qing urged Cen Xi.
"Would you like to come with me?"
"Why should I go so early?" Lin Qing was a little puzzled.
"..." Cen Xi himself didn't know how to answer, he just wanted his wife to go with him.
"Don't worry, just go to work! I'll go to the factory by myself later!"
"What if you can't find the place?"
"Ouch! There are so many people in our hospital taking the exam, how could I go wrong?"
"Uh..." Well, it seems that this worry is indeed a bit excessive!
After a moment of silence, Cen Xi didn't plan to urge her anymore, "Then I'll go first!"
"Go ahead!"
"Well...how about I leave the bike to you?" he said before leaving.
"Oh, no, no. I'll just follow the people in our courtyard. At least I can find the way!"
"Okay!" Cen Xi finally went out to work.
Twenty minutes after Cen Xi left, Lin Qing was ready to go. After closing the windows and doors, he planned to walk to the factory.
"Xiao Lin, are you leaving?" Aunt Li happened to go to the front yard to see the situation.
"Yes, I'll go early. I'm afraid I won't find the place!"
"Then wait a moment. My two daughters-in-law will go with you!" Aunt Li turned around and shouted to the family, "The eldest and second families, hurry up and come out. Follow Xiaolin to the factory so you can have company."
At this time, Aunt Sui poked her head out and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, my two daughters-in-law will go with you!"
Not long after, Lin Qing waited for the two daughters-in-law of Aunt Li and Aunt Sui in the yard.
