Chapter 125 Pursuit

Lin Shu vaguely felt that there was something going on between her second sister and Jiang Weidong, but she was afraid that her second sister would have concerns because of her divorce and working in the same unit with Jiang Weidong, and that people would gossip about her and Jiang Weidong’s work, so she didn’t dare to try.

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Shu’s words, Lin Xia felt much more open-minded.

The main reason she didn’t want to get married again was because she was divorced, and she was afraid of the harm that marriage would bring. She also felt that it was tiring to get to know people again, so it was better not to get married.

But deep down, she liked children. Even if her own child might not be as cute as Panpan and Tiantian, she also wanted to have a child of her own, soft and milky, who would call her mom.

How about... when someone introduces you to someone in the future, don't reject them so bluntly. Try to get in touch with them?

Maybe you'll meet the right one?

But, it's best not to find someone from the same unit? Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if there's a problem. She's really scared of the Qian family.

As for Jiang Weidong, she has never thought about it.

Because she always felt that Jiang Weidong loved his late wife deeply, so she didn't remarry for more than ten years.

Besides, Jiang Weidong is a leader. He always cares about his subordinates. Being nice to her is also a leader's love for his subordinates. The bigger reason may be because of the relationship between the third brother-in-law, Old Lady Jiang and the third sister.

March is warm, and the evening breeze also carries the fragrance of flowers.

Secretary Li of the rolling mill was drinking tea in his big canned teacup. No one was playing chess with him, so he went out for a walk.

Han Yun: "Old Li, is the Qian family a little crazy?"

Secretary Li spat a mouthful of tea foam, "What's wrong?"

Han Yun: "I met Qian's mother today, and she was talking nonsense to me, as if she suspected that Wei Dong and Lin Xia had something going on. Deliberately destroying her son's marriage."

Secretary Li said: "Lin Xia and Qian Lisheng's divorce is their business. Even if Lin Xia and Wei Dong have something going on, it has nothing to do with the Qian family. It's their business, so one thing is another."

Han Yun smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong with Wei Dong and Master Lin. I introduced him to a partner today. Sister Jiang is very satisfied. This time it will definitely work out."

Secretary Li was not optimistic, "I don't think Wei Dong has any intention of looking for someone else."

As he was speaking, the director of the factory office came over with a cigarette in his mouth to talk to him, and motioned him to go out and talk so that no one could hear.

Han Yun: "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will hear you telling a secret?"

The factory office director smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk about work."

When they got outside, the factory office director whispered, "Secretary, do you think there's something going on between Weidong and Master Lin?"

Secretary Li: "What's the matter?"

The factory office director: "I've seen them being close recently."

Secretary Li: "So what? Are they breaking the law?"

The factory office director smiled and said, "No, I'm just afraid it will have a bad impact." Secretary

Li: "They are both single young people. If there's something going on, there's no problem. Besides, there's the relationship between Master Lin's sister and brother-in-law."

At last, he said, "You guys are just too sensitive. Why do you always focus on these things between men and women when you have so much work to do? Even if there's something going on, it's nothing. It's natural for an excellent man to be with an excellent woman, isn't that right?"

As he was speaking, he saw Jiang Weidong coming here.

Although the street lights were not very bright, the man was tall and had a straight body as a former soldier, so he could be recognized at a glance.

Secretary Li: "Weidong, where are you going?"

Jiang Weidong saw them chatting and said with a smile: "The secretary and the director have work to discuss, so I won't disturb them for now."

Secretary Li: "Looking for me? No problem."

Jiang Weidong said that he had something to report to the secretary about his thoughts.

The factory director thought that something important was going on and refused to leave, "Then I have to listen to it too."

Jiang Weidong did not refuse. He cleared his throat and said seriously: "I am officially reporting to the organization that I want to pursue Comrade Lin Xia."

"What?" The director of the factory office choked on a puff of cigarette smoke and coughed loudly. "Director Jiang, when did this happen?" Secretary

Li glanced sideways at him, "What a fuss is not about filing a marriage application. You just did it when you were startled. What?"

Director of the factory office: "No, that's what I said..."

Looking at the expression of the director of the factory office, Jiang Weidong said: "I guarantee with my personality that my previous work was all business and I had no inappropriate thoughts about Comrade Lin Xia before her divorce. , nor did he instigate her divorce. "

Secretary Li nodded, "We know Weidong's character." The

factory director's eyes widened, "Director Jiang, if you were with Lin Xia, have you ever thought about what kind of troubles there would be? What kind of gossip would there be in the factory?"

Jiang Weidong: "So am I not here to report to the leader?" "

I am seriously pursuing a target. If there are untrue gossips, shouldn't the leader be responsible for calming them down? The

factory director looked up at the sky, hey, you are a manipulator, you have to ask us to help you argue when you are looking for a wife.

Humph, for the sake of Lin Shu and Lin Xia, I will help you.

Secretary Li nodded. He had always admired Jiang Weidong's straightforward personality. In the previous selection of deputy director, the rehabilitation of Gu Changming, etc., he never did anything funny in secret. He talked openly and honestly in the factory committee.

Now he is even doing the same when looking for a partner.

He expressed his support for Jiang Weidong's pursuit of Lin Xia. If someone said something unpleasant, he would trace the source.

The factory director: "When you get married, you have to thank us."

Jiang Weidong reported, thanked us again and again, and left.

Secretary Li sipped the tea foam. He thought this guy was a stone, but it turned out that he already had a target.

Factory Director: "Secretary, do you think Jiang Weidong has had feelings for Lin Xiazao?"

Secretary Li: "When you were single, did you have feelings for a few pretty young women?"

The factory director smiled and said nothing more.

Men will always be moved when they see a pretty girl they like, but being moved does not mean taking action. Most of the time, they are just moved for a moment, but they will not wait and not get married just for such a moment of being moved.

But he felt that Jiang Weidong had refused to remarry for many years, and it was definitely not because he suddenly fell in love with Lin Xia and wanted to pursue her. He probably liked her for a long time.

After strolling for a while, the two went back to their own homes.

Secretary Li poured the remaining tea on the roots of the peonies planted by Han Yun and walked into the house.

Han Yun was arranging fabrics, preparing to help Han Xiaofen cut fabrics to make skirts for her daughter when she came to the house for a blind date.

Secretary Li: "You don't have to work so hard."

Han Yun: "What did the factory director say?"

Secretary Li: "It's not what he said. It's that Jiang Weidong has fallen in love with someone else. He won't come for the blind date you introduced."

Han Yun was surprised: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know? Sister Jiang said it was a good idea."

Secretary Li simply told her, "This is a good thing. Don't tell anyone now that it hasn't happened, so as to avoid embarrassing Xiao Lin and adding obstacles to Weidong."

Han Yun: "I said that Lin Shu and Sister Jiang are so good. Have you been thinking about this since early morning?"

Secretary Li: "Comrade Han Yun, your logic is wrong. The Lin sisters got along well with sister-in-law first."

Han Yun curled her lips, "Then is this love that grows over time?"

Secretary Li: "It's been almost half a year, and people are not allowed to develop new relationships?"

The next morning, Lin Shu got up and cooked with Old Lady Jiang.

Old Mrs. Jiang considerately asked her to sleep a little longer, "I, an old woman, feel less, you young people should sleep more."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "You went to bed early at night, so you can't sleep now."

Lin Xia also got up to help, but her cooking skills were average, so Old Mrs. Jiang and Lin Shu asked her to wash up and wait for the meal.

The two were busy when they saw Jiang Weidong coming over with soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Jiang Weidong: "When I went out for a run, I saw a breakfast stall opened near the hotel, so I bought some back to try."

If it were before, Lin Shu would not think too much, but now she always feels that Jiang Weidong's eyes are different when he looks at the second sister.

Didn't she say at breakfast yesterday that the second sister wanted to eat fried dough sticks when she was a child, but she couldn't eat them once a year at home?

Lin Shu smiled secretly and poked Lin Xia secretly, "Director Jiang bought some fried dough sticks, you can eat one more."

Lin Xia glanced at Jiang Weidong, and he smiled at her.

Old Lady Jiang: "Why are you grinning with your big white teeth? My daughter will be home tomorrow, go buy something for me."

Jiang Weidong stopped smiling, "Buy what?"

Old Lady Jiang: "What's the point of having a son? Nothing you do can touch your heart. Buy me some defective cloth, wool, white gloves, kerosene soap, etc. that I can use in my daily life."

Jiang Weidong: "Okay, if I go out..."

Old Lady Jiang: "When do you not go out? After dinner, send Lin Xia to the power supply bureau, and then go buy it for me."

Jiang Weidong simply shut up. Although he didn't know why, he clearly felt that his mother was particularly displeased with him today. Of

course, he didn't know that Old Lady Jiang was angry with him because of Han Xiaofen's matter.

Last night she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She didn't know why she had a feeling of fear, as if she had almost been cheated because of her son.

In order to find a partner for him, she fell in love with Han Xiaofen, but she turned out to be such a person. Wouldn't there be trouble after marriage?

She almost had a family in turmoil. Who else should she blame

if not him? She

didn't have a partner at her age, and she almost made a mistake when she finally found the right one.

If she had to end up like Han Dasao, rolling around in the family compound complaining and making a fuss, she would rather go back to her hometown.

Jiang Weidong originally wanted to find an excuse to send Lin Xia to work, but now there was no need to look for a ready-made excuse given by Old Lady Jiang.

But he really had to go out today, and it was to the branch factory.

The branch factory mainly produces special parts, and they need to ship them recently, so he and Director Hu go to see it every now and then.

Director Hu sprained his ankle a few days ago, so he went to run more frequently.

When the jeep stopped at the gate of the power supply bureau, Lin Xia opened the door and got out. When she thanked Jiang Weidong, she found that he also opened the door and got out.

She thought he had something to do at the power supply bureau, so she waited for a while.

Jiang Weidong moved a small charcoal stove and a bag of charcoal from the car, and said to Lin Xia: "Add this to the accompanying items when you go to the countryside, so that you can cook some hot meals outside in the future. Don't eat cold food anymore, and don't drink cold water."

Lin Xia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jiang Weidong to say this.

Before, when these engineers went to the countryside, no one specifically took care of their meals. They often forgot to eat when they were busy with work. Sometimes they only had one meal a day, and the rest of the time they just had two mouthfuls of cold food and two sips of cold water.

They suffered a lot especially in June and early spring.

Colleagues fell ill one after another, and she was not spared. It was Jiang Weidong who took her to the hospital that day.

Jiang Weidong also went to the power supply bureau to give advice to the leaders to care about the accommodation and food of the people who went to the countryside. The accommodation safety of female comrades must be guaranteed, and they must be given hot soup and hot meals.

We sent comrades to support your work, how can you not take good care of them?

Because of Jiang Weidong's suggestion, the leaders of the power supply bureau remembered this and asked them to deliver meals to the nearest production team. If the distance was too far to deliver meals, they would bring iron pots and drinking water with them, dig a pit and bury the pot on the spot to cook.

However, it was not so convenient to dig a pit and make a fire outside. It took a long time to boil a little water. Someone also suggested bringing a beehive coal stove, which was not very convenient.

This small charcoal stove is convenient. You don't need such a big iron pot. You can just put a small aluminum pot on it and boil water or cook noodles.

This is convenient!

Lin Xia was very happy, smiling with her eyebrows curved, "Director Jiang, you still have life experience."

Jiang Weidong looked at her helplessly, "Lin Xia, if you need anything in the future, just tell them, don't be embarrassed to ask, we are going to support them, they should do a good job of logistics support."

Lin Xia: "I think they pay more wages, so we should not be too nosy, lest they think we are too nosy."

Jiang Weidong: "Health is the capital of revolution, how much work will be delayed if you are not healthy, rest if you feel uncomfortable in the future, go to the hospital if you need to, don't worry about what the power supply bureau says, I will be responsible for communicating with them."

Lin Xia agreed.

She reached out to move the stove, but Jiang Weidong directly handed it to her.

Shen Meizhi , who was about to introduce a date to Lin Xia, couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw

this. Shen Meizhi wanted to introduce her cousin to Lin Xia, but she didn't tell anyone that her cousin had a genetic disease. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't even want to meet him, she felt a little angry.

After Jiang Weidong left, she couldn't help but tease Lin Xia: "No wonder you look down on my cousin, is there a better candidate?"

Lin Xia: "Sister Shen, this is our Director Jiang, don't you know him?"

Shen Meizhi was about to laugh, "We are not blind, if you are good friends with Director Jiang, just tell everyone, so as not to keep others hanging."

Lin Xia frowned and said unhappily: "Sister Shen, what do you mean? When did I keep anyone hanging? I have been running around in the power supply bureau for the past few months, and I have not been in the power supply bureau for half a month in total?"

If it weren't for May Day, she would not be in the city now.

Seeing her like this, Shen Meizhi was more convinced that she was doing it on purpose. It turned out that she was not only pretending with her, but also keeping Jiang Weidong hanging?

She couldn't help but sneered, "Lin Xia, we are all women, and we all know women's things. You don't have to pretend with me. Who doesn't know that you threw yourself into the arms of Huangxian? Others take leave when they are sick, but you insist on not taking leave. When Director Jiang shows up, you just throw yourself into his arms and let him take you to the hospital."

Lin Xia was amused by her and grabbed her arm, "Shen Meizhi, come with me to the leader and explain what I mean. What do you mean I should go to Jiangchang?" Fell in Chang Huai? You spread rumors just because you saw it? And why didn't you ask for leave? Aren't you just a gossipy woman like you? You haven't forgotten what you said yourself? When a colleague asked for leave, you were so gloomy. Why did you go to the countryside when you are so frivolous? Aren't you here to cause trouble for us? Don't you just want to make money and get benefits? Isn't that what you said? How can I dare to ask for leave if you say that? "

She pulled Shen Meizhi to the leader's office. Shen Meizhi's face changed drastically and she refused to admit it.

At this time, several colleagues from other units who came to support testified: "We did hear Shen Meizhi say this more than once. My colleague drank raw water in the wild and got dysentery. He was bedridden, and Shen Meizhi was weird about him hiding and coming to the power supply bureau to get subsidies."

Although it was only a few months, there were already a lot of conflicts between the comrades who came to support and the employees of the power supply bureau.

The employees of the power supply bureau felt that you are outsiders, and you have to go first if there are subsidies and work! Why do you still want the benefits of our unit?

In addition, they are also afraid that these employees from other units who came to support will set their eyes on the benefits of the power supply bureau, and want to use their connections to stay, and snatch their relatives and friends' potential jobs and their own benefits.

Seeing that someone was supporting Lin Xia, Shen Meizhi was unwilling to give in and only talked about Lin Xia's relationship with men.

"There are so many employees transferred here, why is it that your factory director is the only one who comes to see you off all day? And you said that you didn't hang on to them. If you didn't hang on to them, why should they..."

"Because I admire Comrade Lin Xia and am pursuing her." Jiang Weidong, who had left, suddenly appeared outside the door and looked at Shen Meizhi coldly, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to care about other people's personal problems and make up rumors?"

Lin Xia was confused when she saw Jiang Weidong coming back. Wait, what did he say?

He should have said that to help her out, right?

She didn't want to argue with Shen Meizhi anymore.

Jiang Weidong went to meet the leader of the power supply bureau in person and expressed his dissatisfaction with Shen Meizhi, suggesting that the leader should handle the coordination of personnel in various departments.

In the end, the leader thought Shen Meizhi was looking for trouble, so he did not let her stay in the office to enjoy her life, and sent her to the countryside to be responsible for reconciliation, escorting various materials needed for power supply, etc.

Anyway, don't be idle in the office and talk nonsense to cause trouble!

Lin Xia escorted Jiang Weidong out, "Director Jiang, thank you for helping me out."

Jiang Weidong looked at her seriously, "Lin Xia, I'm not making up an excuse, I'm serious. If I was just helping you out, I wouldn't have to say this."

Lin Xia was stunned, "???"

Jiang Weidong said gently, "It's getting late, go back to work first, and I'll tell you the details when I pick you up in the evening."
