Gu Qinghan went on the test flight this time for a full month and a half.
Wen Nuan didn't expect that he actually brought back several large bags of fruits, as well as some vanishing cream and shampoo. He didn't buy clothes for her and Lele this time. It was probably because Gu Qinglan said that the clothes he bought were ugly last time, which hit his confidence.
Wen Nuan walked over to take a look. The fruits were very fresh and looked like they had been picked just in the past two days.
Moreover, these fruits are basically from the southern region, including longan, lychee, kumquat, peach, mango and several big round watermelons!
The farm behind their kitchen also grows some fruits, which are all supplied to the soldiers in the army.
However, the fruits of this era are not very big, especially watermelon, which is about the size of a football.
Because there are so many people in the army, everyone probably eats it only twice a summer, and each person gets a small piece.
Lele's favorite fruit is watermelon, but since he only gets a few, he can't eat enough every time and almost eats off the skin.
At this moment, the little girl saw the big watermelons that Gu Qinghan brought back, and she rushed over directly, then squatted down, stretched out her hands to hug one of the watermelons that was bigger than her little head, and put her face on the watermelon, grinning and saying: "Wow, big watermelons, I love big watermelons the most, they are sweet!"
Seeing the little girl so happy, Gu Qinghan peeled a longan, took out the core, and handed it to her: "This is also delicious, try it and see if it's sweet."
When the little guy saw that there was something delicious, he let go of the big watermelon, opened his little mouth, and ate the white longan in one bite.
After chewing it for a few times, Lele happily lay on her father's lap and said happily: "It's delicious, so delicious."
"Dad, you are so nice!"
Gu Qinghan curled his lips, then rubbed Lele's soft hair, "Then Daddy will peel another one for you."
"Okay, I want to eat. I want to eat a hundred!" Lele stretched out his ten melon seeds and spread them in front of Gu Qinghan, thinking that his ten little hands meant a hundred.
Gu Qinghan's eyes softened and he began to peel longan for Lele. He also peeled two lychees and put them in a bowl for her to eat.
After peeling a few lychees for Lele, Gu Qinghan peeled another lychee and brought it to Wen Nuan's mouth, saying softly, "Wife, try one too."
Wen Nuan was not polite and directly ate the lychees that the man had peeled. The crystal clear flesh was sweet, juicy and tender. The small part on the branch was still white. When she took a bite, the sweet juice filled her mouth and she felt completely satisfied.
Gu Qinghan looked at his wife's satisfied expression and asked her softly, "Do you want more?"
Wen Nuan pointed at the longan over there and said with a smile: "Peel one for me."
"Okay, no problem, I'll peel it for you, you don't have to get your hands dirty." Gu Qinghan took out a large piece of food directly from the snakeskin bag and started peeling some food for Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan ate these long-lost fruits and peeled one for Gu Qinghan, feeding him: "Try it too."
The family happily ate some fruits at home. Lele was still not satisfied and wanted Gu Qinghan to open a big watermelon for her. However, Wen Nuan touched the child's round belly and didn't let her eat any more, and the little girl had just eaten lunch not long ago.
Lele pouted and looked at her mother, "Then I'll eat later."
Speaking of which, after she had eaten and drunk her fill, she started playing her own game of pretending to be a house.
I ate a lot of Wen Nuan. In this hot summer, it would be better if it could be chilled.
After thinking for a while, Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan who was taking a shower and asked him, "Didn't you go to Factory 112? Where did you bring these fruits back from?"
But longan and lychee are obviously not fruits that can be grown in the north. Gu Qinghan must have gone to the south.
Gu Qinghan wiped his hair with a towel, then sat on the sofa, hugged Wen Nuan directly to his legs, and said slowly: "No, I happened to go to southern Xinjiang for a mission later, and landed at the military airport on Qiongzhou Island. I thought you like to eat fruits, so I brought some back."
Wen Nuan looked at the pile of fruits with a surprised expression. This is called... a little
Gu Qinghan thought that since he was flying back and forth anyway, he went to buy some fruits from the local farmers. He heard that many of the fruits there were grown by themselves and they didn't need to be taken care of. Especially the mangoes, each one was bigger than the other. If he was not afraid that they could not be stored for long, he would have thought of buying some more.
Anyway, his wife and children love to eat it.
Wen Nuan brushed the man's slightly wet short hair, smelled the refreshing scent of soapberry on him, then looked at his handsome profile and smiled, saying: "That's too much, there are several watermelons alone."
No wonder the military wives in the family compound all wanted to marry pilots. Every time Gu Qinghan went on a mission, he would bring back some food and drinks from various places.
Before she went to work in the kitchen, every time Gu Qinghan came back, the military wives would love to come over to join in the fun, wanting to see what good things their family had brought back.
Previously in the compound in Beijing, Wen Nuan heard Commander Lu say that in recent years, the motherland has been actively establishing diplomatic relations with different countries, and many pilots have the opportunity to go abroad and buy some foreign things.
Gu Qinghan would buy her some clothes, scarves and hats at first, but after buying her two awful skirts, he stopped buying her clothes and mostly bought her food.
Gu Qinghan hugged the warm waist and said with a smile: "You don't need a ticket anyway. If you can't finish it, give some to the comrades in the family compound."
The man's fingers rubbed her waist a few times. The unique hot temperature penetrated the thin fabric, making Wen Nuan twist uncomfortably.
Wen Nuan originally wanted to make some preserved fruits, but the fruits here were not too much, but not too little either, so it was probably not too little if they were made into preserved fruits.
And among all these, only mangoes are suitable for making preserved fruits, while longans and lychees should be eaten while they are still fresh.
She had also thought about canning fruit, but the cost was too high. Not only did they have no natural advantages in North City, but the bottles and jars needed to make the canned fruit were also a problem.
But it is such a blessing to be able to eat fresh fruit occasionally.
It can be considered as a reward for myself for the busy work in the past six months.
After thinking for a while, Wen Nuan asked the man next to her: "Do you want to send some fruit to the research institute?"
It would be better if the comrades in the institute could eat fresh fruits instead of canned fruits.
Gu Qinghan had already thought of this. He sniffed at the warm neck and said in a hoarse voice, "I've prepared some. I'll send it over later."
"So urgent?" Hearing this, Wen Nuan looked at the man in surprise. He had just returned, and he was busy again
Gu Qinghan didn't show any anxiety. He glanced at Lele who was playing by himself and said, "No hurry. I'll take a nap before going. I should be back before lights out tonight."
Before Wen Nuan could react, Gu Qinghan said, "I'll put the child to sleep first."
Wen Nuan knew that he had just come back and must be a little tired. Seeing that he was really ready to take a nap, she planned to clean up the fruits.
Lele was playing when her father suddenly carried her to the kang in the room. She didn't quite understand what was going on. When she realized that her father wanted her to take a nap, she was unwilling to do so: "I don't want to sleep!"
Gu Qinghan directly pressed the child down on the kang, and patiently smiled and said to her: "After you have a good sleep, you can have some watermelon."
"Really?" Lele's eyes widened, looking very cute. "Then I'll sleep with Daddy, and eat watermelon after I wake up."
"Dad won't lie to you." Gu Qinghan brushed the child's sweaty hair, then took her own quilt, covered the child's belly, and said, "Go to sleep quickly."
Wen Nuan foolishly thought that the man really wanted the child to take a nap, but just as Lele fell asleep, Gu Qinghan walked out of the room and looked at her with something strange in his eyes.
…
After sleeping for half an hour, Gu Qinghan prepared some seasonal vegetables and fruits and set off for the research institute.
Wen Nuan and her child slept until four in the afternoon because it was the weekend and she had a day off. Summer nights come late.
After dinner in the evening, Wen Nuan took Le Le to Sister Gui Hua's house and brought some fruits, a little of each kind.
Wen Nuan plans to save some mangoes to make preserved fruits so that Le Le can have something to eat in the winter.
There were still quite a few peaches left, so Wen Nuan planned to can some so that they could be eaten in the winter, and the rest would be distributed to everyone.
As soon as I walked over, Aunt Liang and Sister Guihua were ready to go out for a walk.
In order to prepare for pregnancy, Sister Guihua followed Mr. Zhao's advice and lost weight. However, after she became pregnant, she ate and drank well, and now she has gained a lot of weight again.
Last week she went to see Mr. Zhao for a check-up, and he told her to control her weight again, otherwise being too heavy in the late pregnancy would make it more difficult to give birth, and she might also develop gestational diabetes.
Sister Guihua didn't understand what diabetes was, but she trusted the old man very much since she got pregnant, so recently she would go out for a walk every morning and evening.
When Sister Guihua saw Wen Nuan coming over, she held her round belly with both hands and said with a smile: "Sister Nuan, Le Le, are you guys going to go for a walk too?"
Then Sister Guihua smiled and said, "Did Deputy Head Gu come back at noon? I seemed to hear his voice."
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded, and told Gu Qinghan about the fruits he brought back from southern Xinjiang: "Well, he is back, but he is on a mission again. I thought it is not so hot now, so I went out to get you some fruits."
After waking up from a nap, the little guy Lele immediately asked her to open a big watermelon. Originally, Wen Nuan had been thinking of giving everyone some fruit after eating the watermelon, but Lele felt too hot and got angry and didn't want to go out.
Fortunately, after six o'clock, the weather was not so hot and humid, and Lele was ready to go out to bring some fruit to his aunt.
As soon as Wen Nuan finished speaking, Lele took the bag from Wen Nuan's hands with both hands.
Seeing this, Wen Nuan reminded: "Le Le is very heavy, Mom will help you lift it."
Then the two of them carried a big bag of fruits and walked to Sister Guihua and gave them to her.
Lele smiled and said: "Aunt, this is for you, it's so sweet."
Sister Guihua saw that Lele was having a hard time lifting it and was thinking of not wanting it, but Lele just stuffed it into her hands.
Sister Osmanthus will say later: "Then I won't be polite."
Then Zhang Guihua saw that there was a watermelon in the bag and couldn't help but praise: "Wow, there's still a watermelon. Lele is so strong."
Lele smiled even more happily, holding his head high and saying, "Watermelon is the most delicious!"
"Yes, watermelon is the most delicious. Auntie likes it, too." Zhang Guihua gave the fruit to Aunt Liang beside her and asked her mother to put the fruit back home and eat it after returning from a walk.
Afterwards, Sister Guihua took Lele and Wen Nuan to Sister Juxiang's house.
Sister Juxiang had just finished her meal. When she saw Wen Nuan and the others coming, she put down her bowl, kicked her husband, and said to him, "Old Zhao, you wash the dishes tonight. I'll chat with Gui Hua and Xiao Nuan."
Zhao Yongfu curled his lips. He didn't want to wash it at first, but ever since Deng Juxiang started working in the kitchen, she has been very particular about fairness. They like to divide the work and cooperate when eating dishes and wiping the table.
However, despite this, Zhao Yongfu felt that Deng Juxiang was becoming happier and happier. Although the work in the kitchen was quite tiring, she felt more fulfilled.
Under the gaze of several female comrades, Zhao Yongfu cleaned up the table and then took the bowl into the kitchen.
On the sofa in the living room, Lele was reading picture books with Xiaodong, Xiaomei and others. Lele was young and preferred to play with older children, so they could take care of her.
Her two sisters also liked her. When they saw Lele coming, they pulled her over to read picture books and tell her stories.
When Wen Nuan gave the fruit to Deng Juxiang, she pushed it away awkwardly, "There are so many things, how can I feel comfortable with that? Sister Nuan, you take it back!"
Wen Nuan used to share with them whenever she made something delicious. Now she brought so many fruits and a big watermelon. How could she feel comfortable doing this
These should all have been bought by Gu Qinghan and he must have intended to bring them home for Wen Nuan and Lele.
Wen Nuan smiled and joked, "I brought this from home, my hands are sore and I'm sweating, sister-in-law Juxiang, you actually want me to take it back, I won't do it."
They both smiled, and Deng Juxiang said, "Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Sister Xiao Nuan."
Several women sat together, and their favorite topic of conversation was gossip. However, as they were talking, Sister Juxiang looked at Wen Nuan and asked her, "I heard that the approval procedures for the factory have been approved? Do we need to hire more people?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "The quartermaster told me this a few days ago, and two units in Shenyang have also placed orders with us for some things. If we don't hire people, we probably won't be able to handle it."
The scale of the factory is not very large now, but the machines have been moved in and installed, and Wen Nuan is also helping to make the next batch of instant noodles and dried noodles. Now we are already short of manpower, and everyone is busy like a top. If we recruit more people, their kitchen team will not be so busy.
When Sister Guihua heard this, she sighed and said, "It's not the right time yet. The kitchen staff was recruiting before, and now the factory is recruiting too. I didn't even catch up."
She had been idle in the family home for so many years. It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to work. She hadn't had the chance for all these years, and she happened to be preparing for pregnancy, so she had no chance to work at all.
Aunt Liang pinched her and said unhappily, "You'll be busy after the baby is born. I wonder if you'll still want to go to work by then."
Deng Juxiang poured more tea for Zhang Guihua, then smiled and said, "That's all. Why are you in such a hurry? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When the baby is born, there will really be a lot of shit and piss to deal with."
As the conversation went on, the topic turned to children, and everyone talked about the hardships of being pregnant and raising a child.
But after saying that, it doesn’t affect me still hugging the child and kissing him. That’s what warmth is.
Since the beginning of the year, she has taken Lele to the kitchen. Although there are children playing there, there are so many children and there are many bumps and bruises. Lele sometimes has a bad temper and refuses to admit defeat to the older children and always quarrels with them.
But in general, Lele is much less of a worry than other children. When she goes to the kitchen, we know that she will be busy with work. Sometimes she will find things to play with by herself, and sometimes she will help pick up some eggs from the chicken coop.
When I'm busy in the kitchen, the little guy will help pick some vegetables, but he likes to make trouble sometimes.
But it still doesn't stop Wen Nuan from thinking that her daughter is an angel baby!
Lele heard the adults laughing, then came over, hugged her warm thighs, and asked her: "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Wen Nuan touched the child's nose with her finger and said, "They say our Lele is a good kid."
Lele put her hands on her hips, looked at her angrily, and snorted: "Of course, Lele is my mother's good baby!"
Wen Nuan gently touched the child's head and said, "Go and play. We will go home soon."
*
When Gu Qinghan came back, Wen Nuan was already asleep.
The next day, when everyone was having lunch together, the man said that he would have to go to Factory 112 again next month. "I heard that they are preparing to make a documentary about the new fighter jets. They will shoot some test flight videos of the fighter jets next month. I may have to go there again then."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she asked him curiously, "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Gu Qinghan pondered for a moment before saying, "It's mainly because I don't want anyone to interfere."
This is a test flight of a new fighter jet, which is different from the fighter jets that have already been skillfully operated.
After hearing what the man said, Wen Nuan knew that he was not used to facing the camera, and was mainly worried that others would affect his flight.
Even Gu Qinghan, an experienced pilot, was in awe of the new fighter plane.
Wen Nuan comforted him, "It should be an internal documentary, right? Maybe we should preserve this video to witness our first independently developed fighter. Just treat it as your usual training and don't have to worry about anything. I believe you can do it."
This is a big deal, and it's normal to make it into a documentary.
Gu Qinghan probably didn't want to be disturbed when he was flying, so he was a little resistant.
Gu Qinghan was helpless, but this was a decision from above. In fact, some people had gone to the training ground to shoot videos before, but there were many people at that time, and the videos were only taken by their superiors.
Wen Nuan sat beside him and smiled, saying, "I'm just waiting to see the handsome figure of my deputy commander Gu. I haven't seen you fly a fighter jet yet."
Normally, people were not allowed to enter the flight team during training. Wen Nuan had only seen Gu Qinghan flying a fighter jet into the sky, but she had no idea what he looked like. Suddenly, she felt a little excited.
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to accept. "This documentary may not be released so soon. At least we have to wait until the fighter plane is finalized."
Wen Nuan reached out and held the man's warm hand, smiling: "It's okay, I can wait with you, no matter how long it takes."
Just as Gu Qinghan was moved by his wife's words, Lele suddenly came over holding a half-carved watermelon and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm done."
As he said this, he burped.
Only then did Wen Nuan see that the little guy was covered in watermelon juice, his clothes on his chest were completely soaked, and even his chubby face was covered in water. The scene was very spectacular!
"Didn't I tell us to eat it together? Why did you eat all the watermelon? What will mom and dad eat then?" Wen Nuan was dumbfounded when she looked at the watermelon. In fact, it was all eaten, as the little guy dug out the sweetest part in the middle, so there was actually a lot left.
Lele smiled and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then said with a pitiful look on his face: "You guys are talking and not eating."
Then Lele pointed to the other half of the watermelon and said generously, "Mom, you guys eat that half, I left it for you."
Gu Qinghan looked at the child and smiled. He did not blame her, but just said: "Dad will get you a basin of water so you can take a bath."
Now that the weather is hot, put a bowl of warm water in the yard and little Lele can play for a long time.
When Lele heard this, he jumped up with joy and shouted, "That's great! Playing in the water is my favorite thing!"
As he said that, he ran to the small room and dragged out the big wooden basin: "Dad, I want to use this basin to wash."
The little girl had a particularly hard time pulling because the plate was made of wood and was almost as heavy as an iron one, but she still didn't give up.
Wen Nuan glanced at the scorching sun outside, then said, "It's a bit hot now, why don't we let you play later?"
Lele didn't want to go and kept clamoring to play in the water. He especially loves playing in the water in the summer and can play in a basin of water for an hour or two.
Gu Qinghan saw that the child had dragged out the basin, so he boiled some water and filled a large basin with warm water for her. Then he carried it to the shade at the edge of the yard and waved to Lele: "Come on, Dad will carry you in."
The little girl ran over without even taking her slippers. Gu Qinghan washed her and then carried her into the basin.
Gu Qinghan drew a lot of water, and when Lele, the little guy, entered, the water started to flow out. The little guy became even more excited, splashing water everywhere...
Wen Nuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she pretended she saw nothing and handed the task to Gu Qinghan.
But after a while, the child was carried out by Gu Qinghan in a quilt, and his body was already wet.
Wen Nuan took the child over, planning to let her take a nap, and asked the man to take another bath.
When Gu Qinghan came out, Lele was still very excited and clamored for her father to play with her: "Dad, I want to play rock-paper-scissors."
Gu Qinghan glanced at the child, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Then he added: "But if you lose, you have to go to bed."
Lele jumped up from the kang excitedly and nodded: "If Dad loses, he has to play rock-paper-scissors with me 100 times."
Wen Nuan hadn't reacted yet, she glanced in their direction, and then saw Gu Qinghan raised a fist, and the little guy raised a cloth...
Lele jumped up immediately, "Great, Dad wants to play rock-paper-scissors with me!"
The boy looked at Gu Qinghan and added, "Dad, we agreed on a hundred, don't cheat!"
Gu Qinghan frowned: "..."
Wen Nuan smiled at him and said, "You asked for it. I'm going to sleep first."
Later, a tired Wen Nuan curled the corners of her lips, and then fell into a deep sleep amid the laughter of the two.
*
By Friday, the factory's recruitment notice was posted.
The quartermaster called Wen Nuan to his office and said, "Comrade Wen Nuan, why don't you come and interview everyone for this recruitment?"
To be honest, this factory would not be able to operate without Wen Nuan. Many things in the factory are made under the leadership of Wen Nuan, such as the seasoning packets, dehydrated noodles, dried vegetables, and meatballs, which are all prepared by her.
The fact that the factory is now open is largely due to her efforts.
It can be said that without warmth, there would be no factory today.
Wen Nuan thought about it and decided to refuse directly: "Chief Steward, you know that I have to bring Lele to work now, so I really can't take care of other things. I believe that under your leadership, the factory will definitely get better and better."
Wen Nuan doesn't have much time to spend with Lele now. Although she brings her to the kitchen, most of the time everyone else helps take care of her, and sometimes she asks the older children to help.
There is a lot of work to do in the factory, but the key is that there is a shortage of manpower. Wen Nuan has to do many things herself, so she doesn't plan to take on other work.
Besides, the quartermaster is much more familiar with the people in the family compound than Wen Nuan, and he will definitely be more careful in his selection.
Most importantly, Wen Nuan does not want to participate in these management work. The original intention of setting up this factory is for the experts in the research institute.
Now that the formula is available, comrades in the institute can eat better food than before, which is enough.
The quartermaster was still a little unconvinced, and asked again: "Why don't we go back and discuss it with Deputy Commander Gu first?"
She probably doesn't know the importance of this position!
This means that she will have a say in future factory decisions, and can even be promoted to a more important position.
Wen Nuan shook her head and smiled: "No need to discuss, I won't go."
The quartermaster: "Really? Don't you want to consider it for two days?"
Wen Nuan nodded firmly: "Really, I won't consider it."
After hearing what Wen Nuan said, the quartermaster did not force her anymore and just said, "Since you said so, let someone else do this job. I'll see who is more suitable."
Wen Nuan: "Okay, I'll go out first."
The news that the processing plant was going to recruit fifty people spread throughout the family compound.
Except for the first two years when the troops were just taking root here, there has never been an attempt to recruit so many people at one time.
The last time the kitchen squad was open for recruitment, they only recruited two people, but there was still a strong scramble for the position. Now they want to recruit twenty people, and the military families have gone crazy.
Someone asked: "How many people are competing for these fifty positions?"
"Anyway, there are already five or six people from my school who have said they want to go for an interview, so I'm one of them. I must seize this good opportunity."
"Do you know who will be interviewing me? Will it be the quartermaster or..."
Before, everyone in the family compound had heard that it was Wen Nuan who took the lead in setting up the factory, and that Wen Nuan was also said to be Commander Lu's granddaughter. Now seeing the recruitment, everyone regretted not having a good relationship with her.
But it's too late now, cramming at the last minute is useless!
Wen Nuan really didn't intend to interfere with the factory's recruitment affairs. She went to the factory every day to check on the progress of the drying of the dried noodles. The comrades in the kitchen team had already made a lot of them, and now they had a certain amount of stock, as well as staple food for the research institute.
That day, when Wen Nuan returned to the kitchen, she saw Lao Zhong coming in with a tired look on his face. It seemed like he even heard Wen Nuan greeting him.
Wen Nuan thought something had happened to him, so she asked, "Captain Zhong, what's wrong with you?"
Lao Zhong has always been one of the first to come back to the kitchen. Every time Wen Nuan comes back, Lao Zhong has already finished his work and is enjoying the food. But today he is even later than her
When Lao Zhong heard Wen Nuan ask this, he couldn't help but yawn, and it seemed like he could hardly open his eyes.
He said: "Hey, don't talk about it. I don't know what happened to my fellow villagers these past few nights. They all came to drink with me. I think they never came to me before!"
Just as Lao Zhong finished speaking, another comrade from the kitchen squad came back, yawning likewise, and couldn't help but echo: "Isn't this a coincidence? My comrades from the same squad suddenly came to see me these few days..."
Xiao Zhu, who was steaming rice rolls at the side, couldn't help but smile and said, "What else could it be? Don't you know that the military families in the family compound have been discussing the recruitment of workers these days? Maybe they are planning to build relationships with you."
Xiao Zhu was a lonely man, and he didn't know anyone in the family compound, so he had nothing to do these days.
Lao Zhong was puzzled: "That has nothing to do with me? I don't care!"
Another person also responded: "That's right, it's useless to look for us! I'm really fed up with it. I haven't slept well for several nights!"
The quartermaster came in with several large bags in his hands, sighed heavily, and complained, "Don't mention it. Look at me - when I went home yesterday, I thought I had made some mistake and was going to be thrown rotten leafy vegetables by everyone."
"It turned out that they were all vegetables and fruits grown in their own plots, and they wanted to give them to my wife one by one. My wife didn't dare to accept them, so those people threw so many vegetables directly at my doorstep."
Everyone looked at the quartermaster. Old Zhong originally wanted to scold Luo Qingjun for causing such a mess.
However, when he saw a green vegetable leaf stuck in the quartermaster's hair, Lao Zhong felt that he was not so miserable.
Lao Zhong asked: "What about these dishes..."
The quartermaster threw the vegetables in his hand to the ground in annoyance and said, "I'll ask Xiao Fang to post a notice later to thank the anonymous family members for donating so many vegetables and fruits to the kitchen team."
After saying that, the quartermaster looked at Wen Nuan who was eating rice noodle rolls with gusto. At that moment, he finally understood why Wen Nuan was so determined to turn down the interview for the position of commander-in-chief.
The quartermaster couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Wen Nuan, no one has come to see you these days?"
Wen Nuan took a bite of the soft and chewy shrimp rice noodle roll and shook her head: "No."
Everyone looked at Wen Nuan, and the quartermaster wanted to cry but had no tears. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
After all, Wen Nuan is the leader of the processing plant and the granddaughter of Commander Lu. The most important thing is that Wen Nuan seems to be easy to talk to and gentle. Wouldn't everyone want to trample on the threshold of her house
Old Zhong also crossed his arms and snorted, "That's right, you must have never had a good night's sleep either!"
Wen Nuan ate the last rice noodle roll on the plate in one bite, then looked at them with a harmless smile and said, "Maybe... I don't look like someone you can mess with?"
"???"
*
After returning home, Wen Nuan saw Le Le holding a lollipop in her hand. Thinking back to the experiences of her colleagues in the kitchen, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that someone attacked her daughter? !
Wen Nuan walked towards Le Le quickly. Before she could say anything, Le Le ran towards her with a lollipop in her hand, showing off the lollipop in her hand and said, "Mom, look at my lollipop."
Wen Nuan frowned: "Who gave this to you?"
Lele pointed inside the house with a smile and said, "Dad took me to buy it."
Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, took the child's hand and walked towards home, saying with a smile: "Come on, let's go home."
After the family had dinner, Wen Nuan washed her hair early. While sitting in the yard blowing her hair, she told Gu Qinghan about the kitchen team.
Gu Qinghan didn't react much after hearing what Wen Nuan said.
He just asked about Wen Nuan's rejection of the position of interview commander. He asked, "Is it because the work is too tiring?"
Wen Nuan was stunned. She didn't expect that Gu Qinghan's first reaction would be to worry about whether she was tired. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "I simply feel that I am not suitable for doing this kind of thing, and it is easy to offend people. Just look at Lao Zhong and the quartermaster and they will know."
Warmth makes me tired just thinking about it.
Wen Nuan actually doesn't want to get involved in anything related to power. If she goes to the interview by herself, it means that someone might come to her to build relationships, and she might become even busier. She can't be like she is now, where she can go later if something happens and come home later after get off work.
Deep down, she still wanted to spend more time with Lele. Now she had enough money, the work in the kitchen was easy, and the processing plant would soon get on track.
After a few months, the winter in the north city will be cold and windy, so it’s better to spend more time at home and play with Lele.
Wen Nuan leaned on his shoulder and joked, "And I think the higher-ups might want to give Grandpa some face?"
Gu Qinghan smiled, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Believe me, you don't need to rely on your grandfather to sell face. The higher-ups chose you because of your contribution and help to the processing plant."
Gu Qinghan met her sparkling eyes and said seriously: "Wife, you are very good."
If Wen Nuan is willing, it is not impossible for her to take on the position of factory director.
However, what Wen Nuan said just now is also valid. After all, in the eyes of some people, they can only see the interest relationship but not the efforts of the parties involved.
Gu Qinghan also didn't want Wen Nuan to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. She could live a more peaceful life.
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Whatever. I don't want to go anyway. Lele will go to kindergarten next year. If I have that much time, I might as well teach her something."
Because the winters in the north city are long, in winter, except for full-time children, many children are not sent to kindergarten. In the spring, around April and May, a large number of children will go to school. Wen Nuan plans to let Lele attend the spring class, when she will have many friends to play with.
So this winter, Wen Nuan wants to take a break and teach her children more things.
Before, Lele went to sister-in-law Juxiang's house and read picture books with Xiaodong, Xiaomei and others. Then she asked Gu Qinghan to buy some for her. Now Wen Nuan tells her stories every night and teaches her some simple ancient poems.
Then, Wen Nuan hugged the man's waist and said with a smile: "By the way, accompany my Qinghan."
Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment by Wen Nuan's sudden affectionate gesture. Then he hugged her back and said in a deep voice, "Well, thank you, Wen Nuan."
Gu Qinghan seldom called her by her name. Wen Nuan recalled that he seemed to call her like this only when they were doing the most intimate things. Sometimes he would call her like this repeatedly, in a hoarse voice in her ear.
Suddenly hearing him calling her name, Wen Nuan couldn't help but smile sweetly: "You're welcome, who made me love you the most?"
Gu Qinghan stared at her with his dark and deep eyes, a little bit unbelievable, and asked: "The last?"
When Wen Nuan heard this question, she suddenly regretted that she spoke too quickly.
But I still gritted my teeth, looked at him, and nodded seriously: "Of course, I love you the most!"
Gu Qinghan caught the flash of hesitation in the woman's eyes, but at this moment, she was sweet and ecstatic. He hugged her and kissed her hard: "I take it seriously."
The two of them were kissing passionately, not paying any attention to Lele who was eating mango in the other side of the living room.
Until Lele said: "Mom, I want more mango!"
Wen Nuan pushed the man, then looked at Lele and said, "This is the last one."
Because Lele loves mangoes, Wen Nuan left a few for her to eat. Almost half a month later, she had actually finished eating them.
The little guy seemed a little bit unconvinced. He got off the chair and walked over to the place where the fruit had been placed before, only to find that there was really nothing there.
Lele walked to the door with a melancholy look on her face, and suddenly hugged her father from behind. Her little hands were too short and she almost couldn't hold him.
Gu Qinghan originally planned to take the child out and sit together in the yard to watch the stars, but the next second he heard the little guy sigh.
Then Lele said: "Dad, why don't you go."
"???"
Gu Qinghan frowned: "Where do you want dad to go?"
Wen Nuan also looked at the little fellow on Gu Qinghan's back in surprise. Unexpectedly, Lele said in a baby voice, "Every time you come back from a walk, there are always a lot of delicious food."
Wen Nuan burst out laughing.
Gu Qinghan didn't want to say a word.
