The next morning, Chen Xingling poured a pot of soy milk from the fully automatic soy milk machine in the supermarket space, and took out a few bags of buns and put them into the steamer.
Zhao Xiaoxing woke up and ran into the kitchen to help.
"Sister-in-law, what do I need to do?"
Chen Xingling smiled and shook his head: "No, just wait for the buns to be steamed. These were made by my mother yesterday, and we can eat them just by steaming them until they are hot."
"Oh oh." Zhao Xiaoxing thought of the big snakeskin bag she twisted before leaving, and couldn't help but envy: "Sister-in-law, your parents really love you."
After saying this, she went to sweep and mop the floor.
Gu Yi also got up, and originally wanted to wait for his mother to get up to eat together, but Chen Xingling said no.
"There are many people at home now. Some have to go to work and some have to go to school. There are no rules to wait until everyone is together before eating. The most important thing is not to delay work and study. Whoever wakes up eats, and do whatever you need to do after you are full."
Gu Yi was worried about being late, so he ate his fill and went to work in a hurry.
Chen Xingling waited for Xiaohu to wake up and eat, then sent him to kindergarten.
Then, she took advantage of this opportunity to walk around, hide in the stairwell, quietly took out a large piece of roasted meat, a few handfuls of vegetables, and a dozen tomatoes and potatoes from the space, put them one by one in the net bag, and slowly went upstairs.
Li Ying and Qin Tiantian were having breakfast. Seeing that she bought so many things to bring home, they couldn't help complaining that she didn't know how to be frugal and wasted all day long.
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "There's no meat or vegetables at home. What will we eat if we don't buy some? Is that a waste of money? I'm usually quite frugal. Didn't I buy some to entertain you and Tiantian?"
Li Ying was speechless for a moment and dared not say anything more.
Qin Tiantian's eyes flickered slightly. She ate silently without saying a word, then put her arm around Li Ying and said she wanted to go out for a walk.
Chen Xingling did not stop them, but only told them to be careful when going out, and then pretended to casually ask about the two sisters-in-law at home.
Li Ying said "Oh" and couldn't help but worry about her hometown.
"They both have to go to school, and Xuan is busy preparing for the college entrance exam. Later, Miao wanted to come with us, but I was afraid that she would be affected in her studies, so I let her stay to keep her sister company. They are not very good at cooking... Oh! I don't know how they are doing these days. I can't stay here for too long, because I'm worried that they won't have enough food to eat."
She doted on her two precious daughters and raised them up. She was reluctant to let them do any housework.
Although I asked the neighbors to help make some steamed buns and steamed bread, I didn't know whether they would have enough food and clothes when I was away for a few days.
I don't want to think about it, but when I think about it, I can't help but worry.
Chen Xingling said calmly: "Mom, when are you going to leave, remember to tell me in advance so that I can book train tickets for you first. It's a holiday now, so there are fewer trains. You may not be able to buy tickets at the ticket office at short notice, so you have to book in advance."
Li Ying nodded: "Okay, we'll be there in two or three days. It's quite spacious here now, I'll bring Xuan and Miao here to play when they're on summer vacation. My two sons are here now, I'll definitely come here often in the future."
Chen Xingling pretended not to hear and cleaned the kitchen.
"When will Brother Qi come?" Qin Tiantian asked hurriedly, pushing Li Ying: "Auntie, didn't you say that you should wait for Brother Qi to come back from his business trip?"
Chen Xingling replied with a fake smile: "He said before he left that it would take at least half a month, at most one or two months, or even less than half a month. There is no way to determine the time."
"How long has he been waiting?" Li Ying frowned and asked, "I can't wait that long."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "It's been more than ten days, and there has been no news so far. Judging from the situation, it will probably take several months."
Li Ying was worried when she heard this: "That won't work... It's too long, we can't wait."
Qin Tiantian was secretly anxious, but she knew she couldn't change Li Ying's heart that was worried about her daughter, so she quickly pulled Li Ying downstairs.
Chen Xingling watched them leave, guessing in his heart that Qin Tiantian was probably going to act up again.
But she still had to review her books, so she really had no time to deal with an irrelevant woman. After she put away the ingredients in the kitchen, she went to the master bedroom to study.
…
At noon, the bell for the end of get off work rang!
Li Nishang put away her pen, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, then hummed a cheerful tune and prepared to go home from get off work.
"I'm talking to you, our factory beauty!" A female colleague beside her knocked on her aluminum lunch box and teased, "Have you cleaned up yet? I'm starving!"
There were relatively few female comrades in the factory, and they were all wives or maids of male workers, so it was impossible to select a few beautiful "factory beauties" like in other factories.
Ever since Li Nishang started working in the factory, this situation has finally been broken!
She was famous for her beauty and wisdom and was immediately named the "flower of the shipyard". She was unique and there was only one of her.
Li Nishang glared at her tenderly and snorted, "You've been hungry for a long time, so you can't blame me. It'll only take a minute or two, why are you in such a hurry?"
Several colleagues laughed.
"Of course I'm in a hurry!" The female colleague joked, "If I'm a little slower, I won't be able to buy the food I like. If I could be like you, there would be a lot of men waiting to serve me food and dishes every day, and I would just sit here with my legs crossed and wait for the food."
Li Nishang smiled softly, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
"I don't want to bother with them. How many dishes in the cafeteria are edible? I don't like any of them!"
The female colleague giggled and asked, "Do you dislike the food in the cafeteria? Or do you dislike those people who are eagerly waiting to serve you food?"
Li Nishang smiled and said, "I don't like any of them."
Several colleagues laughed.
"It's not that easy to pick the most beautiful girl in our factory! There are so many young men in the factory, why can't any of them catch her eye?"
"That's right! Section Chief Guo comes to pick her up every few days, but she doesn't seem to be very happy! That's Section Chief Guo! The factory director's son-in-law! You should know that the factory director has only one son and one daughter. His daughter married far away, and now he only has this precious son by his side!"
A female colleague came up to me and asked with a giggle, "Nichang, what kind of person do you like? Tell me! You should know how many women in Yucheng are waiting for Chief Guo. Don't be too picky and miss the most attractive one!"
"Yes! Who else can compare to Section Chief Guo? He has a good family background, a good appearance and a good figure, and a bright future - marrying him is like being half the wife of a factory director!"
Li Nishang played with the cute pink silk flower on her chest and smiled sweetly: "He is quite handsome. But... he still doesn't meet all the requirements in my mind."
"Really? You still can't achieve it? What on earth do you want?"
"Xiao Li, I think no one is perfect. Look! For example, Mr. Gu, who looks like a master and has a lot of experience, his family background is not so good, right? I heard that his hometown is very ordinary, and his parents died a long time ago. There is no comparison between his family background and that of Section Chief Guo."
"Yes, yes! And Gu Qi got married a few months ago. I heard that his child is already attending the kindergarten in our factory."
"Engineer Gu's professional title has been rising rapidly. He was also rewarded and promoted because of the 'Yuanhang'. He was promoted to deputy section chief and even got an administrative position!"
"There will definitely be more in the future! I heard that the province specially asked him to participate in some kind of learning exchange this time, and the province provided special transportation for him! I knew it was a big task! As long as he succeeds, how could the province not promote him? Activities like this are all top talents selected from thousands of miles away, and they can at least be promoted by one or two levels in the future!"
"Wow! That's so lucky!"
"Hey! Those are all based on true stories. The pictures he drew - even his two-year-old apprentices can't understand them! If you have that experience, you can also be a craftsman!"
"Hahaha!"
"Nichang, you like the type of person like Gu Gongshi, right?"
