When Luo Yan woke up, Hua Li was selling goods. Luo Yan obediently sat up, put on her shoes, and picked up her water bottle to drink water.
Because of her height, Luo Yan could only see the legs of adults, and then she noticed that Xiao Yanru, who was next door, had changed from Qu Yingqiu's black pants and white shoes to a floral skirt and leather sandals.
Has the person been changed?
Luo Yan slipped past Hua Li, stepped out of the counter, walked to the bottled wine counter, and looked up at the woman behind the counter...
The woman was in her thirties, had permed hair, had an average appearance, and a clean and neat demeanor.
They really have changed personnel.
Where did Yingqiu from Naqu go?
Luo Yan searched through the counters one by one and finally found Qu Yingqiu, who looked gloomy, at the labor protection counter.
Seeing Qu Yingqiu's resentful expression, Luo Yan decided to come again tomorrow.
After Hua Li finished selling her goods, she looked back and wondered where her child was.
Hearing Hua Li calling her in a terrified voice, Luo Yan hurriedly ran back.
When Hua Li saw Luo Yan, she went up to her and scolded her playfully, "Why did you run out as soon as you woke up? Don't you know your mother will worry?"
Luo Yan smiled at Hua Li, and then remembered her unreliable father.
Judging from Qu Yingqiu's words, Liu Jingqiu's office job was found for her by Luo Shicheng, so even though he's her biological father, she should just get rid of him.
"Daddy, Daddy..."
After you get off work, go to the military base and ask if Dad really went on a mission. If it's not true, just file for divorce.
When Hua Li heard Luo Yan mention Luo Shicheng, she knew that the child missed her father.
But the thought that Liu Jingqiu's job might have been arranged by Luo Shicheng made Hua Li feel suffocated.
However, she and Luo Shicheng now have an agreement that, according to Luo Shicheng's request, they will not divorce. The house will be given to Hua Li and her daughter, and Luo Yan will enjoy all the preferential treatment as Luo Shicheng's biological daughter. At the same time, Luo Shicheng is not allowed to go home unless necessary and can only stay in the dormitory. Furthermore, the two will no longer have a marital relationship.
So let him do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't come back to disgust her, she doesn't care what he does with Liu Jingqiu. She'll just focus on her precious baby and live a good life.
Luo Yan fainted after running away from Liu Jingqiu's house and was unaware of the agreement Hua Li and Luo Shicheng made while she was unconscious. Therefore, the plan was destined to fail, and Hua Li had no intention of going to the army to ask.
The labor protection counter was a bit far from Hua Li's counter, so Luo Yan often took the opportunity to go out and observe. Sure enough, she saw Liu Fengling go to see Qu Yingqiu. The two didn't exchange more than a few words, but there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Qu Yingqiu noticed that Luo Yan was looking in their direction and nodded towards her.
Liu Fengling glanced back and scoffed, "Little brat, ignore her."
Qu Yingqiu muttered to herself, "Mom, I think this little girl is a bit strange... Liu Jingqiu also said that she has suffered at the hands of this brat several times."
Liu Fengling dismissed it, "Bullshit, she's just a little snotty-nosed brat. Only you guys would take her seriously."
Qu Yingqiu lowered her voice, "Mom, how about in a couple of days, until this brat doesn't come..."
Liu Fengling clicked her tongue, "No, if the novice becomes an expert in a few days, it will be difficult to start."
As she spoke, Liu Fengling reached out her hand, and Qu Yingqiu had no choice but to take the key out of her pocket and put it in Liu Fengling's hand.
The mother and daughter whispered a few more words, and Liu Fengling turned to walk back. Suddenly, Luo Yan rushed over and hugged Liu Fengling's leg, which startled Liu Fengling so much that she let go of the key she was holding and it fell to the ground.
"Grandma, Grandma..." Luo Yan glanced at the keys, looked up and called out while blowing bubbles.
Liu Fengling quickly bent down to pick up the keys, tilted her head, and glared fiercely at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan seemed frightened by Liu Fengling, her eyes filled with fear as she took a few steps back, then turned and ran back to Hua Li's side...
When it was time to leave work, thankfully nothing happened, Hua Li began packing her things.
Luo Yan ran to the counter selling daily necessities and pointed to a tin can with a white background and red and white peony flowers printed on it, with the words "Peony Talcum Powder" written in blue.
"It smells so good, so good."
There were two sales clerks at the daily necessities counter. One was arranging the goods and the other was writing notes. Hearing the noise, Tang Yajun peeked at the counter and saw Luo Yan. She called out loudly for Hua Li.
"Your daughter wants some fragrance."
Hua Li heard this and ran over. When she saw Luo Yan pointing at the talcum powder through the glass, she immediately asked how much it cost.
"Oh my, you really spoil the child." Tang Yajun teased with a smile.
In an era of scarcity, every household lived frugally, and few people bought talcum powder, a common but often unnecessary item in daily life.
In the past, Hua Li couldn't afford to buy things even if she wanted to, but since she had money, she bought new clothes for Luo Yan and never lacked meat, eggs, or fruit. In addition, there were plenty of food from Luo Shicheng's purchases before he left, gifts from Chen Yuanshan, and return gifts from Sun Bailing. Hua Li hardly needed to spend money on food, so it was only natural for her to use the money she saved to buy things that Luo Yan liked.
Besides, Hua Li had already decided that she and Luo Shicheng would only be husband and wife in name only for the rest of their lives, and they could not have any more children. As their only daughter, Luo Yan had to be pampered as much as possible. However, there was no need to tell outsiders about these things. Hua Li smiled and said nothing.
Tang Yajun took out some baby powder and placed it on the counter. "Two yuan and fifty cents."
Zhong Fang, who was working at the next counter, said while she was busy, "Oh my god, that's enough to buy several pounds of pork."
As long as she didn't say anything unpleasant, Hua Li didn't mind and handed two one-yuan notes and one five-jiao note to Tang Yajun.
Luo Yan tiptoed to reach for the talcum powder, and Hua Li took it down and gave it to Luo Yan. Luo Yan hugged it with a smile and ran back.
Seeing Luo Yan sitting obediently on the small stool fiddling with the talcum powder, Hua Li continued her work with gentle eyes.
Everything was packed up, and the bell rang to signal the end of the workday. Hua Li looked up and saw that Xiao Yanru had already left the house, so she quickly grabbed her backpack and chased after her.
"Sister Xiao, wait a minute."
Xiao Yanru stopped and turned around. Hua Li caught up and took out an apple and a can of luncheon meat from his backpack, stuffing them into Xiao Yanru's hands.
"Thank you so much for today. I'll take it home for my child."
Fruit and luncheon meat are both good things, but Xiao Yanru was too embarrassed to say a word for them and accept them, so she firmly refused.
On Hua Li's first day here, she was very grateful that someone spoke up for her. She insisted on giving it to him, and the two of them argued for a long time. Then someone called Hua Li from behind.
"The door's about to lock up, hurry up and bring your daughter out."
Hua Li begged for mercy, "Okay, Sister Xiao, please accept it. My daughter is still inside."
Xiao Yanru had no choice but to accept it and urged Hua Li to hurry up.
Hua Li ran back to the counter and saw Luo Yan standing blankly at the entrance, with the entire aisle covered in talcum powder.
Luo Yan looked up at Hua Li, her little mouth trembled and she started to cry. Hua Li quickly comforted her.
"Baby, it's okay, there's still half a tube left, that's enough, don't cry."
"Hua Li, hurry up!" the person in charge of locking the door urged again.
It seems there's no time to clean now. I'll come back earlier tomorrow and deal with it then. Hua Li agreed, picked up Luo Yan, grabbed the coat on the counter, and ran out, immediately locking the door behind her.
