071: Awkward
Jia Song has been feeling unhappy about this, but he couldn't get angry over such a small matter. After all, he didn't catch the person at the scene. If Lin Maosheng turned around and accused him of maliciously framing him, he would get into trouble.
So Jia Song took the opportunity to deliberately snatch Lin Maosheng's steamed cake and gave it to Yu Xiaoye, playing a trick on Lin Maosheng, who was stingy and loved to take advantage of others.
——However, there was one thing Jia Song did not explain clearly. He did not plan to tease Lin Maosheng and did not deliberately call Yu Xiaoye to his side.
He first called Yu Xiaoye to his side, wanting to ask if their family could have enough food to eat. Then he saw a whole steamed cake on the lid of Lin Maosheng's lunch box, and suddenly he had the idea of playing a trick on Lin Maosheng.
If these two thoughts appear in a different order, things will be subtly different.
But Jia Song did not explain in detail - there was no need to explain so much.
If Jia Song hadn't told her, Yu Xiaoye certainly wouldn't have known. She thought Jia Song had called her over to be a pawn in order to play a trick on others and to use her to mess with Lin Maosheng.
Yu Xiaoye was a little angry:
"Then please ask Secretary Jia to return this half piece of steamed cake. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that he will miss it so much that he won't be able to sleep and will even come to me in his dreams to ask for steamed cake!"
After saying that, he turned and left angrily.
Jia Song smiled bitterly and asked behind him:
"So your family only eats that little at night?"
"—I caught a few fish in the river out back, so we still have fish to eat."
"Can eating fish fill your stomach?"
"able!"
After saying this, Yu Xiaoye had already walked out of the office.
Jia Song retracted his gaze and stared at the steamed cake on the table. He picked it up and felt that this half piece of steamed cake seemed a little bigger than the one from yesterday.
If he borrows a small amount and repays a large amount, wouldn't that be a bargain for Lin Maosheng?
Since Lin Maosheng is so petty with others, then in return, others should also be petty with him.
In order to prevent Lin Maosheng from taking advantage, Jia Song simply took a bite of the steamed cake.
As a result, just as he took a bite, Yu Xiaoye came back with the lunch box.
As soon as Yu Xiaoye entered the door, he happened to see Jia Song eating half a steamed cake. The two looked at each other and the air froze.
“——”
“——”
Jia Song couldn't spit it out or swallow it, and almost choked to death on the steamed cake. He quickly took a cup and drank some water before swallowing the steamed cake.
Yu Xiaoye: “You——” So Brother Jia is so poor that he steals other people’s steamed cakes?
What a pitiful man, even more greedy than that Lin Maosheng! !
Jia Song waved his hands repeatedly:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't eat it secretly, I just thought the steamed cake was a little too big, and I wanted to bite it down to about the same size, don't get me wrong!"
Yu Xiaoye stood at the door in a daze, not knowing whether to believe what he saw or what Brother Jia said.
Jia Song drank a sip of water. His face turned red like pig liver, perhaps because of embarrassment or because he was choked. He pretended to be calm and asked:
"What else?"
"Oh," Yu Xiaoye suddenly came to his senses, "Well, I want to catch some fish in the river behind us these two days. I want to ask if there is a fishing net in the company. Can you lend it to me?"
"Oh, a fishing net. No problem. I'll borrow it for you tomorrow."
Yu Xiaoye nodded and turned to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head to look at the steamed cake on the table and reminded him with some concern:
"Hey, Brother Jia, you should return the steamed cake to Lin Zhiqing and stop eating it."
"Ahem, ahem, I get it."
Yu Xiaoye left the office and breathed a sigh of relief. It was so embarrassing just now.
She just can't stand seeing others embarrassed. Seeing others embarrassed, she feels even worse than if she were embarrassed herself.
I hope she won't have to see this kind of scene again.
When we arrived at the yard in front of the office, the people who had been working had already returned.
Yu Xiaoye was standing on the side of the road with a group of children, waiting for their parents to finish work and go home.
Several little boys were fighting with sticks. When they came to her, one of the **-year-old boys suddenly stopped, stared at Yu Xiaoye curiously and asked:
"Your house is in the back, isn't it haunted?"
"What the hell is going on? I am the ghost myself."
The children all took it seriously and looked at her in surprise:
"Ah, you're a ghost?!"
"Yeah, poor guy, don't you think it's scary?"
The younger children didn't react, but the older ones understood and burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha, poor bastard, you are a poor bastard!"
"Hahahaha------my dad is also a poor bastard, and my mom calls him a poor bastard every day!"
A group of children laughed uncontrollably after being coaxed by Yu Xiaoye.
Originally, these children were quite afraid of Yu Xiaoye. They thought that the family living in that yard might be contaminated by the ghost aura of that yard, so they didn't dare to get close to him.
But listening to her talk was very interesting and not scary at all, so they were not afraid anymore and came over naturally. Yu Xiaoye quickly became friends with the children.
After a minute or two, the company's car drove back from a distance.
First came three tractors, then several horse-drawn carriages.
Without waiting for the car to stop, the people in the car jumped out impatiently.
As soon as the workers came back, the originally deserted company immediately became lively.
Children from all families ran towards their parents, shouting "Mommy and Daddy" and making a lot of noise.
Yu Xiaoye saw his mother Xu Ying sitting in a carriage and hurried over to greet her:
"Mother!"
"Why!"
Xu Ying agreed with a smile. Although she looked tired, she seemed to be in a good mood and in much better condition than when she first arrived.
It seems that Xu Ying has gradually adapted to the life of working in the company.
The mother and daughter met and walked home together.
When they reached the path leading to their home, there was no one around. Xu Ying then took out a handful of wild vegetables from her arms and said with a smile:
"Hey, today our class went to work in another place. Without Zhu Dali to supervise us, everyone in the class secretly took the time to dig up shepherd's purse. I also dug up a large handful. Look, how tender the shepherd's purse is!"
Yu Xiaoye was happy when he saw it. No wonder his mother was in a good mood when she came back today.
The shepherd's purse was indeed very tender, neatly arranged and tied with straw. I estimated it to be about one pound.
"Mom, you're so capable! You even bring back wild vegetables when you're out working!"
"I learned it from others. Those old ladies are so good at taking advantage of opportunities. They would go to the reeds to pick bird eggs while they were relieved. They didn't even wash the eggs. They rubbed them with their hands and put them directly into their mouths with the shells. Then they spit out the shells, just like cracking melon seeds. Tsk tsk."
"Mom, you can't learn this. It's unhygienic."
"I know, I definitely can't," Xu Ying looked down at the shepherd's purse in her hand again, "It's a pity that we don't have white flour at home, otherwise we could make some dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse."
"When you mentioned dumplings, I was craving them too. But it's okay. I'll put the shepherd's purse in the yacht first. It'll stay fresh there anyway, and it won't go bad until next year. When I have enough money to buy flour, I'll make shepherd's purse dumplings."
