The bathroom looks brand new. Although there are only 6 bungalows, it is fully equipped and Zhang Weifang is very satisfied.
She took off her clothes and threw them directly into the washing machine. She stood under the shower head and took a shower. The warm water washed away her fatigue and the dirt on her body.
After taking a shower, Zhang Weifang felt comfortable all over and fell asleep in her pajamas.
Before going to bed, she was still thinking that having hot water was convenient and she didn't have to boil water every day.
It is also very difficult to wash clothes in winter. If you use cold water, your hands will freeze. If you use hot water, you have to boil two pots at a time, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Wet clothes hung outside can easily freeze, and it sometimes takes two or three days to dry the clothes.
The weather is very cold in winter. In those days, people's conditions did not allow them to wash clothes or take baths in winter. If they did, they would only wash their inner clothes. They would wear their outer cotton-padded jackets all winter and would only take them off and wash them in spring.
Many people wonder why they don’t wear an outer coat over their cotton-padded jacket so that it is easier to change and wash it when it gets dirty. It’s not that people don’t think of it, but that they can’t afford the cloth.
Farmers could not even get two cloth coupons a year, so how could they have extra cloth to make clothes?
At this time, cotton-padded clothes were worn for several years or even more than ten years, and the same was true for cloth.
Some people really just patch things up, black cloth and blue cloth, and they don't care about their appearance, as long as they can keep warm.
There are also families who don’t have cotton-padded jackets in winter, so they can only rely on their own luck to keep warm.
In the warm bed, Zhang Weifang became more and more sleepy, and when he woke up, it was already dark.
She lazily put on her clothes and sat on the kang in a daze, not wanting to move at all.
When Li Hongru came back, he saw that the room was pitch black. He began to wonder if he was overthinking it. Was everything that happened at noon just his imagination?
"Weifang, are you home?"
"Yes, I'm here." A lazy voice sounded, and Li Hongru was sure that Zhang Weifang was really at home.
He lifted the curtain and entered the house. He hugged the person on the kang with both hands, and then he felt that everything was real.
"Weifang, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just didn't wake up."
"Then you lie down, I'll go cook." Li Hongru knew that she had been exhausted in the past few days and felt very distressed.
Zhang Weifang grabbed Li Hongru's hand, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said sullenly:
"Don't leave, stay with me."
Li Hongru held the man in his arms and smiled gently:
"What's wrong? Did you miss me?"
The two familiar people soon stuck together, and the warm breath wrapped them up, just like taking a hot spring bath.
The small boat was swaying, rising and falling, up and down, back and forth, wave after wave, rushing forward in the river.
Forty minutes later, the boat stopped. After having fun, the two people washed themselves and lay back on the kang.
Zhang Weifang fell asleep again in a daze. She felt a little dizzy while half asleep and half awake, and then some water was fed into her mouth.
It was already midnight when Zhang Weifang woke up again. Her throat was a little sore and her voice was hoarse.
"Hongru, I want to drink some water."
The person next to her didn't respond, so she immediately pushed him with her hand, and Li Hongru, who had just fallen asleep, woke up immediately:
"Weifang, how do you feel? Do you have a headache?"
"I want to drink water." Zhang Weifang shook his head and said this forcefully.
Soon, Li Hongru came over with a teacup. Zhang Weifang struggled to sit up and drank the whole cup of water in gulps.
She touched her head and her hair was wet and she was sweating from the heat.
"I'm dying of heat. How many blankets have you covered me with?"
"Don't worry, you had a fever just now. I gave you some water and then covered you with a blanket to keep you warm."
"Oh, but I'm soaked and feel uncomfortable." Zhang Weifang was unhappy and sat there motionless.
Li Hongru touched her head and found that it was not so hot anymore, then he said:
"I'll get a towel to wipe your sweat off. Wait for me."
That night, Zhang Weifang had a recurring fever. Li Hongru took care of him all night. When he woke up in the morning, there were blue spots under his eyes.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Li Hongru received a transfer order from the secretariat. Ma Changzheng had already received the news. He patted Li Hongru on the shoulder and said:
"Come on, Xiao Li. Come back and visit us when you have time."
"I will. Thank you for your training, Minister." Even though he was about to leave, he still had to say the polite words.
Cui Hongyuan also came over with a smile:
"Xiao Li, congratulations on your promotion."
"Thank you, Vice Minister Cui. I will continue to work hard."
Du Yanan gave Li Hongru a rare good look this time:
"Congratulations."
Ling Yan followed the crowd and said, "Congratulations."
In short, the scene was that the entire Propaganda Department saw him off.
Li Hongru packed up his things and went to the logistics department to exchange his work badge. Minister Liu expressed his love for talent with a disappointed look.
In the new office, Li Hongru met his new colleagues. In addition to the chief secretary Guo Yongan, there was also an elegant middle-aged woman Zheng Yating and a cheerful boy Wang Yang who was about his age.
The secretariat's office was large and neat, with four metal filing cabinets against the wall, all locked.
Li Hongru's desk is located against the wall at the door. It is in a low-key position, which is very suitable for newcomers.
The seat facing the door and next to the window is Guo Yongan's, and opposite Guo Yongan is Zheng Yating's seat.
Wang Yang was in the same position as him, on the other side of the door.
From this position, we can see the qualifications and status of these people.
On the first day after arriving, everyone got to know each other and then went about their business. Li Hongru was also learning some basic information and work content.
Li Hongru had a good impression of his office colleagues when he first met them, and no one stood out. He was very satisfied.
Zhang Weifang knew that she might have caught a cold, and her throat was still uncomfortable. After getting up in the morning, she took an anti-inflammatory pill, took a shower, and lay down again.
Feeling lazy and not wanting to move, Zhang Weifang didn't make things difficult for herself and just lay down again without eating.
When she closed her eyes to rest, she heard the sound of "Ding Dong Ding Dong" in her mind, and then she heard the exaggerated voice of the Yue Lao system:
"Host, mission completed. 1,200 points earned."
"Ah? What? Mission accomplished!" Zhang Weifang took a while to react. It seemed that Li Hongqin and Wang Chunfeng were completely disappointed. He didn't know how Master Li did it.
"Qiqi, why are the points so high this time?"
"Because you saved two people. The compatibility between Li Hongqin and Wang Chunfeng is zero."
"What? With such a high degree of compatibility, how could two people like each other? Are they both blind?"
"Host, I don't understand human emotions. Maybe they are just blind!"
"It's a good thing that the two of them didn't get together, otherwise who knows what would have happened." Zhang Weifang still feels scared when he thinks of the Wang family.
