At noon, Xie Yun stewed chicken, fried bacon, and made a seafood soup with kimchi and heated up the steamed buns left over from the morning.
This morning everyone in the steel plant was talking about the fact that their director had a fiancée, and that the fiancée had come. She was so beautiful, like a fairy.
Some people even went to ask about the woman they saw yesterday, and the woman who pretended to fall yesterday also became famous. Originally, the woman was also beautiful and could have found a good husband if she was healthy.
After what happened at the door yesterday, everyone in the steel plant and the residential compound is scolding her, saying she is shameless. Some say she hooked up with a man, and some even say she hooked up with a married man.
The more she talked about it, the more outrageous it became. Some people even said that she had affairs with many men.
The men who used to be so attentive to her are gone now. Some men from poor families who cannot get married and some second-rate guys have set their sights on her.
Qin Minghao was in a good mood all morning. He walked home quickly after get off work at noon. When he got home and saw his wife, he felt so happy.
It's good to have a wife at home. The house is clean and tidy, and when you come home you can eat hot meals and see your beautiful wife. This is what those comrades-in-arms said about a wife, children and a warm bed.
After washing his hands, he served the dishes to his wife and ate together. After the meal, he didn't let his wife do anything and cleaned up the kitchen himself.
After finishing cleaning, he came out and sat with his wife in his arms. Seeing him like this, Xie Yun asked him to go and have a rest. Qin Minghao immediately carried Xie Yun back to the house and insisted on taking a nap together. Xie Yun refused. Qin Minghao said, "Be good, don't move. I'll just do nothing and take a nap."
Xie Yun...
When Qin Minghao woke up, Xie Yun was still sleeping. Qin Minghao got up gently, went out of the house to wash his face, locked the door, jumped over the wall and went out to work.
It was already 1 o'clock when Xie Yun woke up. He got up, packed up, and went out. When he opened the door, he saw that it was locked from the inside. The corners of his mouth twitched. What he had learned in the army was finally put to good use.
I went to the sack factory and bought a batch of sacks. Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some food. I saw they had tofu and bought a strip of tofu, planning to make Mapo tofu at home. I bought a bundle of dried kelp and went home.
After returning home, she took some bean sprouts from the space. Even if Qin Minghao saw it, he thought she bought it.
Qin Minghao came back in the evening and saw that Xie Yun had already prepared dinner. He asked, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back and cook for you? Did you go out this afternoon? Are you tired?"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I went out for a walk this afternoon and also went to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I didn't do anything, I'm not tired at all. Hurry up and wash your hands so you can sit down and eat."
Qin Minghao went to wash his hands and came back to sit down to eat. After the meal, Qin Minghao cleaned up and Xie Yun washed two apples as fruit after the meal.
Xie Yun didn't dare take anything else out in the winter. This wasn't like the later era, where all kinds of fruit were available and money could buy anything. In this era, even if you had money, you couldn't buy anything. Better to be honest. Even what she sold to Brother Qiang was not out of the ordinary; she didn't want to be sliced.
The two of them went back to the house, lit the lamp, sat on the chair and read. The scene looked very warm. There was no entertainment in those days. Apart from watching movies and visiting parks, I don’t know what to do. Fortunately, there were electric lights, but they were not as bright as modern ones.
After reading for a while, Qin Minghao put his arm around Xie Yun's waist and kissed her for a while before leaving, even jumping over the wall.
The next morning, after they finished their meal, Qin Minghao went to work, and Xie Yun packed up and went out. Today they went to the scrap collection station.
Arriving at the scrap collection station, Xie Yun saw an old man sitting at the door. She walked over and said, "Uncle, can I pick up some textbooks?"
The old man opened his eyelids and glanced at Xie Yun, then closed his eyes again and said, "Go in, don't make a mess."
Xie Yun agreed, "Okay."
Xie Yun went in and saw that it should be an abandoned factory. There was a lot of space inside and the waste paper was divided into several piles. Xie Yun walked to where the waste paper was placed and started picking it up.
Xie Yun was now an experienced hand, moving very quickly while keeping an eye on the situation. She browsed around a few places, picked up some textbooks and three wooden boxes, and left. The old man took a look and weighed the textbooks. He collected 50 cents in total.
After Xie Yun returned home, she started to sort things out in the space. This time the harvest was pretty good, with a few gold bars.
Xie Yun bought the three wooden boxes mainly because they looked nice. She left the space, took out a basin and a rag, and began to wipe them carefully. There were some hollow carvings on the wooden boxes, so she had to wipe them carefully bit by bit.
When she was wiping the last one, a small tip in the box scratched her hand. Xie Yun quickly checked her hand. Fortunately, there was no bleeding, just a scratch.
Xie Yun looked at the small tip. It shouldn't be there. It was obvious that this box was not carved by an ordinary carpenter. The workmanship was very fine.
Xie Yun thought about what she had read in a novel before, and she knew there must be a secret compartment in this situation. Xie Yun poked at the box for a long time but couldn't get it open, and she didn't want to damage it.
I looked at the time and it was time to cook, so I put the box on the table and started cooking.
At noon, Qin Minghao came back on time for lunch. After finishing his meal and cleaning up, he took his wife back to the house for a nap. Passing by the main room, he saw the box on the table and asked, "Do you like this wooden box?"
Xie Yun said, "It looks pretty good. I found it at a scrap yard."
Qin Minghao said: "If you like it, grandma has it at home. I will get it for you when the time comes."
"No need, I have three which are enough. I just think it looks good." After Xie Yun said that, she remembered that something was wrong with the wooden box and told Qin Minghao.
"See if there's anything in there. I can't get it open."
Qin Minghao became curious after hearing what Xie Yun said. He put Xie Yun on a chair and reached out to pick up the wooden box to study it.
After a while, he still didn't find any mechanism, so he said to Xie Yun: "I'll pry it open to see if there is anything inside, and then I'll install it for you."
Xie Yun nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and do it. I'm also curious if there's anything there."
Seeing that Xie Yun agreed, Qin Minghao went out to find a small knife and pried open the bottom along the seam bit by bit.
When he pried open one end, he saw something wrapped in oil paper. After Qin Minghao pried it open, he took out the oil paper package, which contained a thin layer of paper.
Xie Yun asked Qin Minghao to open it quickly to see what was inside. Qin Minghao opened it and saw a map painted on some unknown leather, with some small words written on the back of the map.
It turned out that these were the things that the people from the other side of the sea did not have time to transport away when they retreated, and they hid them in the mountains. They were afraid that they would not be able to find them later, so they drew this picture. Unexpectedly, it was obtained by Xie Yun by chance.
Qin Minghao looked at Xie Yun and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Yun thought for a while and said, "I want to hand it over." Xie Yun didn't think about keeping it for herself, as she had more money than she could spend now.
