Chapter 383: Changes in the Tube Building



"Wife, I heard that you met Yao Siruo just now?"

"You installed surveillance on me? You'd know if we met by chance."

"Or are you actually feeling guilty? Afraid that I'll run into her?"

"Nonsense, how could that be? Why should I feel guilty? Nothing happened between her and me from the beginning to the end, and we only spoke alone a few times. I just ran into Liu Yi, and he told me that he saw you talking to Yao Siruo."

"I didn't say anything to her, I just said hello when we met."

"I'm even less familiar with her, so unless it revolves around you, there's nothing much to talk about."

"There's no need to talk about me. It's fine like this now."

"Why did you come back so early today?"

She looked at her watch. It was still twenty minutes to six.

"I thought you would go to their house with Xiaobai."

"I sent some things to Uncle Li, said hello and came back first. Are you going to Xiaobai's house now? Or wait a while?"

"Go now and pick up the things you brought for their family. It's not a good idea to go to someone's house to eat."

Xiaobai's wife Yi Shanshan took two days off after her wedding and then joined an embroidery class. Now she can start making money with her skills.

The couple carried their things to the tube building, and as luck would have it, they met Wang Aixiang on the way upstairs.

She looked at Song Fuyu and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when she saw Yan Ziyuan beside her, her arrogance suddenly subsided.

She could gain some advantage in words when facing Song Fuyu, but she dared not speak in front of Yan Ziyuan. If she angered Yan Ziyuan, he would go to trouble her man, and after that, she would be the one to be beaten.

The feeling of being beaten last time was still fresh in my mind, so I had to pretend nothing happened, took two steps back and let them pass first.

Song Fuyu had no intention of greeting someone like Wang Aixiang. After glancing at her, he shifted his gaze and went upstairs.

"Grandma Yi, Shanshan, we are here to disturb you."

One of the worst things about the tube-shaped buildings in the staff compound is that cooking has to be done in the corridor outside the house. There is no privacy at all, at least in terms of what to eat every day.

Suddenly I realized that the steel plant’s tube-shaped buildings are quite humane. Although the kitchen and bathroom are small, at least they are all built into the home.

Now that there are studios in the tube-shaped buildings here, many family members have jobs and a lot of changes have taken place. The biggest change is everyone’s meals.

With more money, people will naturally buy meat more often. Nowadays, cooking meat at home is no longer as rare as it used to be.

"Sister-in-law, Yan Tuan, welcome, come in and sit down."

Seeing them coming, Yi Shanshan immediately put down the vegetable leaves in her hand, stood up and invited them to come in and sit down.

"I wanted Zhengyang to invite you to dinner at his home before, but unfortunately there was never a suitable time. This time I finally got you here."

Song Fuyu was a little surprised when Xiaobai was suddenly called Zhengyang, as he was used to calling him Xiaobai.

“Good food is never too late, and you can eat it at any time.”

She motioned Yan Ziyuan to hand the thing to Yi Shanshan.

"These are specialties brought back from Guangshi. There are dried goods and fruits. The fruits must be eaten within a few days. The dried goods can be kept for a long time if they are properly stored."

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Just come over here. You don't have to bring anything next time. As long as you can come over, Zhengyang and I will be very happy."

"Hua Zi and his family have some too, so they won't be missing out on yours."

"Thank you, sister-in-law~"

"Do you need help? Can I help you pick the vegetables?"

"No, no, just sit down. These are the only vegetables we need to pick. The rest are already prepared. Grandma is the chef today and I am just helping her. Grandma's cooking is better than mine."

Grandma Yi is the kind of old lady who looks very kind and has a pair of smiling eyes. As soon as you see her, you feel like getting close to her.

"Grandma Yi, the food you cooked smells so good. I was drooling just by smelling it at the stairs."

"If you like, eat two more bowls of rice later."

"I don't know how Xiao Yan raised you. Why didn't he fatten you up?"

"It has nothing to do with Ziyuan. I just have a small appetite and can't eat too much at each meal."

"That won't work. Eating more is good for your health."

Song Fuyu agreed with a smile.

The older generation is afraid of being hungry. In their opinion, being fat is a blessing and a symbol of health.

However, people of this era cannot gain much weight even if they want to, because the reality is right in front of them.

Just a few minutes after six o'clock, Xiaobai hurried back home.

"Boss, sister-in-law, welcome to our home."

"Congratulations again on having a family."

"Thank you~"

Xiaobai no longer has the sadness of being an orphan, but is more filled with joy. He now truly has a sense of belonging to a home. He, Bai Zhengyang, now has a home.

"Now that you have a family, work hard and strive to move up in position while you are still young. When you are at a high enough level, apply for a courtyard. It's okay for you to climb stairs, but you can't let Grandma Yi climb stairs all day long."

"I know, boss."

"Okay, we're here to eat today. Why are you acting like you're giving orders to your superiors? Don't scare Shanshan."

After being scolded by his wife, Yan Ziyuan touched his nose embarrassedly.

"Haha, every time I see the eldest brother being humiliated by his sister-in-law, I find it magical."

"I didn't expect that someone who is against everyone and Master Li would have such a moment."

"Sister-in-law is awesome!"

"Go, go, your sister-in-law brought you a lot of fruits, go wash some and eat them!"

I can’t fight back against my wife, so isn’t it difficult to command Xiaobai?

"Yeah, we have it at home too?"

"Huazi got a bag yesterday and refused to let me eat it no matter what. In the end, I managed to grab some and brought it to my wife."

"Actually, I wanted to give it to you when you came home yesterday, but you ran too fast."
