Marrying a Cook in the 1960s

Chapter 89

Views:

The Zhao Jun at this moment is very different from the Zhao Jun in Wang Ying's memory.

Wang Ying still remembers the last time the two met face to face, and Zhao Jun's expression was clearly remembered by her.

Although they were both untidy and unkempt, Zhao Jun at that time had a sense of superiority towards Wang Ying that he himself was not aware of.

Wang Ying later thought about the meeting with Zhao Jun. Logically speaking, she didn't need to admit in front of Zhao Jun that she was not the original Wang Ying just like him. As long as she made a few false statements, the matter would be over.

It seems that Zhao Jun is not the kind of person who would persist in pursuing his opponent.

But Wang Ying couldn't help it.

When thinking back, Wang Ying attributed the problem to the fact that there seemed to be some remnants of the original owner remaining in her body.

He has a deep resentment towards the Zhao army.

This resentment reached its peak when Zhao Jun showed an arrogance that he himself was not aware of.

But Wang Ying didn't regret it at all. She felt that the original owner was right to complain. She had been unlucky all her life. Outsiders thought she was glamorous and married a good man. In fact, her efforts were despised and her achievements were erased.

How can being a stepmother be that easy? Driven by interests, Wang Lingling couldn't even bear the identity of Zhao Jun's child's stepmother. One can imagine the plight of the original owner in her previous life.

Wang Ying looked at Zhao Jun, who was not far away and had stained clothes and messy hair, and was still maintaining order at the door after get off work.

Haha, it’s easy to imagine that without a woman who can stay at home and devote herself to him, the other person’s life doesn’t seem to be very good.

I feel relieved knowing that you are not doing well.jpg

Wang Ying hummed a little tune, got on her bicycle, and rode all the way to the state-owned hotel.

The sugar factory and the restaurant were not far apart. It took twenty minutes to walk there, or six or seven minutes to ride a bike. Wang Ying rode to the restaurant, parked the bike at the door, and went in.

Or you could say it is the biggest restaurant in the county. Compared to the two or three tables at dinner time in Xipo Town, the restaurant in the county becomes extremely lively at night.

A few bachelors got together to drink, a family seemed to be celebrating, and there was a cadre-like person who was talking to someone face to face...

The occupancy rate must be around 70% to 80%.

Wang Ying used to come to the restaurant often, so someone greeted her as soon as she entered the door.

"Sister-in-law, right? Are you here to see Chef Xu?"

Wang Ying twisted her neck. Wow, no one called her sister-in-law in the village, but as soon as she entered the city, people started calling her sister-in-law.

"Yes, is he in the kitchen?"

"Yes, I'll call you."

Wang Ying: "No, no, he's busy first, I'll sit for a while."

Waiter: "That won't work. Chef Xu has told me to call him when my sister-in-law comes."

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen. After a while, Wang Ying saw Xu Shuang coming over.

"Are you off work? Are you tired? What would you like to eat?"

Wang Ying: "I'm fine, you go ahead and do your work, we'll talk later when there are fewer people."

She thought that with so many people in the store, the kitchen must be extremely busy.

Xu Shuang simply sat down opposite her and said, "It's my first day at work today. The menu hasn't been changed yet, so it's not my turn."

It must be said that a bigger store is good. At least there are several chefs, so there is no need to worry about not being able to hire a new chef if he leaves.

Wang Ying finally felt relieved: "I'm fine, and my colleagues are all very friendly. Well, I want to eat steamed noodles."

After a day's work, she was already hungry.

Xu Shuang stood up and asked: "Do you want chili?"

Wang Ying: “Yes!”

Compared with the town, the county town has more kinds of dishes, especially steamed noodles, which are popular with people in the town.

A big bowl of steamed noodles, made from fine wet noodles with a sauce-colored sauce, topped with beans, pork belly and bean sprouts, it's so fragrant!

After Wang Ying finished her steamed noodles, she waited for Xu Shuang to get off work.

On the first day of work, she wanted to go and come back together.

Xu Shuang didn't let her wait too long. She packed up and left at around 8:30.

The two walked on the road and talked in detail about what they had seen and heard at work today.

Things couldn't be smoother on Xu Shuang's side. He was a master chef, and although he had less experience, with Chen Dong around, naturally no one dared to say no.

Xu Shuang: "When I got off work, my master stuffed me with half a lunch box of steamed noodles, saying that we should have it for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Wang Ying: "... Is this possible?"

Xu Shuang: "Master said it's always like this. The restaurant is big, and the leftover steamed noodles and dumplings are there every day. If the chef wants to take some, he can take some."

Wang Ying thought about it and understood. After all, it wasn't a town. There were few things left in the town, and Xu Shuang could basically control how much to prepare every day. There was only not enough to sell, not too much left.

But the county town is quite different.

There were dozens of people in front and behind the restaurant, and there were special people responsible for buying food. It was hard to control the quantity, and the leftovers were not strictly controlled, so they simply turned a blind eye.

Anyway, few of the people who can come to work in the hotel come from families with particularly tight financial situation, so they won’t be so short-sighted as to take a lot of money.

"Okay then, let's make some porridge tomorrow morning, steamed noodles with corn porridge."

Xu Shuang nodded and asked about Wang Ying's situation.

Wang Ying was immediately inspired: "The sugar factory is really big. There are nine people in our office, including me. There are four doctors with one intern, two nurses, and two support staff. We all get along well..."

Wang Ying also talked a lot about Dr. Jiang the lighter, omitting today's dispute and only talking about a person with a relationship in the office who was difficult to deal with.

Xu Shuang: "If you are upset, you must tell me. No matter what kind of connections you have, if we really talk about the relationship with the sugar factory, we are not bad."

Wang Ying: “Ah?”

Xu Shuang: "The sugar factory used to belong to Master. Master and the current factory director are also friends. Every New Year, the sugar factory gives Master a gift. There are two deputy factory directors who were former workers in the factory and they all know Master."

Wang Ying:!!!

Wow, it turns out that I’m the one with connections.

The young couple returned home in the cold wind. As soon as they arrived home, they were startled by a figure standing at the door. Xu Shuang almost kicked him.

Looking closely, it was Aunt Xu.

Wang Ying patted her chest and said, "Aunt Xu, what are you doing here? I thought you were a thief."

Aunt Xu cursed her in her heart for not being able to spit out ivory, but she asked in a warm manner, "I'm waiting for Xiaoyun here. Comrade Xiaowang, where have you been today? Why haven't you been home yet?"

God knows how long she waited and knocked on the door several times, but the person was not at home and she didn't know where he went.

Aunt Xu looked down on Wang Ying. As a young wife, instead of staying at home to do housework and take care of the baby, she ran around all day long. How was this supposed to be a way of living

She secretly rubbed her eyes, hoping that the couple would have a quarrel.

Wang Ying: "Aunt Xu, you really care about me. You know I haven't been home for a day. You said Sister Yun is working hard, but I think you are so idle. If you are not busy, you can help Sister Yun. She works during the day and cooks at night. You should feel sorry for her."

Aunt Xu: …

She could hardly keep the smile on her face, and covered it up by saying, "Alas, I have done a lot, but I am not in good health, so I can't do much. I have caused trouble for Xiaoyun..."

Wang Ying shrugged and said nothing.

Aunt Xu was still not giving up. She stared at her and asked, "Where did you go today? Did you go shopping or eat at a restaurant? You spent a lot of money, didn't you? Everyone is having a hard time. I see Xiao Xu is also busy. It would be great if you could come back a little earlier to cook for people. Xiao Xu can also have a ready-made meal when he comes back. You don't look very old, but you don't know that you can live in poverty if you don't plan well. Don't you think so?"

She acted like an enthusiastic auntie, but every word she said was provocative.

Wang Ying: "Auntie, you are really a bit of a fool. There is an old saying, a dog catches a mouse, what's the last word? Anyway, it means the same thing. My husband and I are both busy with work, isn't it normal that we can't come back?"

Aunt Xu's eyes widened: "What? You have a job?"

Damn it, didn't she just follow the man into the city? Is it so easy to find a job now

Take another look at the two people who look so well matched standing together, carrying a net lunch box in their hands and pushing a bicycle, both working people with no children, they look so relaxed and comfortable, Aunt Xu felt extremely jealous.

All of them were better off than her family. It was all Zhang Yun's fault for not working hard enough. She only earned so little a month. If she had earned more, her family wouldn't be at the bottom of the class!

Wang Ying was impatient to stand at the door with her in the wind, so she said, "If you're okay, we'll go home first," and took Xu Shuang back home.

After returning home and closing the door, Wang Ying saw through the window that Aunt Xu was blowing the flute at the door for a while before she turned around, stepped to the door of her house, and went to the Ma family.

Wang Ying: "Tsk tsk, luckily we both have classes to go to. If you asked me to stay in the yard all day, it would be so uncomfortable."

Every neighbor is a worry.

Xu Shuang pursed his lips and decided that he would cook meat again during his break this week!

The kid from the Xu family is crying with envy!

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Zhao Jun got off work. He looked at the watch and knew something was wrong, so he quickly changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

The head of the security department stopped him and said, "Zhao Jun, aren't you on duty today?"

The work of the security department is special. Although most of them follow the normal working hours, for the safety of the factory, two people are still arranged to be on night duty every day. The work of night duty is to look around and patrol twice in the middle of the night. Although it is hard, fortunately the time is not changed frequently, and all the security department members can take turns every half a month without repeating.

Unfortunately, today is the day that Zhao Jun is on duty.

Zhao Jun was stunned at first, then his face was full of annoyance: "Look at me, I forgot. Well, Brother Shi, I really have something urgent today... Can you change the time for me? I have two children at home and no one is taking care of them..."

The section chief wanted to say something, but when he heard him talking about the child, he could only sigh, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhao, I understand your situation, it is indeed quite difficult. If you ask me, you should find a wife as soon as possible, otherwise this chaos will also delay your work. Our work may not seem conspicuous, but the safety of so many people in the factory is hanging here, and it is the responsibility of thousands of people in the factory. If you can't handle your family affairs well, how can you concentrate on your work? And it may not be a good thing for the children. Your sister-in-law told me a few days ago that she has a distant relative whose husband is gone. She has a hard life with a child, and now she makes a living by pasting matchboxes for the street. If you are interested, I will ask your sister-in-law to arrange it for you? Don't worry, the woman is a very good person. Although she doesn't have a job, she has a city hukou and can follow you to get the grain certificate. It won't be too hard to raise three children."

Zhao Jun was upset, but he knew he shouldn't vent his anger on his boss, so he said with a smile, "Boss, you're right. I did that today... The girl is probably already waiting."

The head of the security department slapped his thigh and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Go now! Don't keep people waiting. It's better to settle it sooner so that you can live peacefully in the future."

Zhao Jun quickly responded, packed up and went out.

As soon as Zhao Jun left, someone murmured, "This is the first time, I guess Deputy Captain Zhao won't be able to succeed this time. His two kids are not easy to fool."

"That's right. Last time I heard that Sister Ma from our Women's Federation introduced a girl to me. She's from the countryside. I think she's a nice girl. She's a first-time bride. She looks dignified and generous. But she showed up and arranged to meet at Sister Ma's house. But the two kids showed up and cried, making a fuss and driving her away."

"Not only that, last time, Sister Tian from the logistics department also said she would introduce them to each other and arranged to meet at a restaurant. The two children couldn't find their father, so they sat on the windowsill of their house and refused to come down no matter how much we persuaded them. Well, the girl was scared away again."

"Don't just talk about the children. Deputy Captain Zhao is actually quite picky himself... He has dated dozens of people in the past year. Most of them were the ones he didn't want."

"Is that true? Deputy Captain Zhao doesn't look like a picky person."

"You came late. When Deputy Captain Zhao was first assigned here last year, he didn't even want to meet the ones I introduced to him. He only started to do so later, but most of them were unwilling to meet him... It was only this year that he lowered his standards."

"… I haven't even found a wife yet, but she has already been chosen. It's really different fates for different people."

The head of the security department looked disgusted and said, "Why do you guys talk like cotton pants? You keep nagging about everything! Hurry up, go on duty when you should, go home when you should, and check the factory area before you leave, don't leave any blind spots. So, Xiao Jin, are you okay today? If you're okay, take over Deputy Captain Zhao's shift, and ask him to take over for you when it's your turn."

The head of the security department felt worried after he yelled. When Zhao Jun was first assigned to the department, he was quite optimistic about Zhao Jun. One reason was that Zhao Jun had the spirit of a leader and looked better than others. The other reason was that Zhao Jun, like him, was a retired soldier who had changed his job.

So it is natural that the section chief wanted to train Zhao Jun. He would retire in a few years, and by then, as long as Zhao Jun was diligent and hardworking, he would be able to shoulder the burden of the security department.

But the good seedling he liked was good in other aspects but couldn't handle the things at home.

His two children made him anxious and worried, and he often left early or came to work late. After a year, he couldn't even make friends with his colleagues in the security department. He was the deputy captain, but he didn't do anything to demonstrate his leadership ability. Naturally, others didn't respect him.

The section chief lit a cigarette. He didn't have much time left, and he couldn't rely on one person to train a successor. If Zhao Jun's family problems were not resolved, he would have to choose someone else.

When Zhao Jun arrived at the agreed place, it was already dark. There was only a matchmaker at the scene, and the woman's shadow could not be seen, not even a hair.

When the matchmaker saw Zhao Jun, he said, "Comrade Zhao, you asked me to introduce you to someone, and I did. But you can't play tricks on me like this, can you? Look at the time now. We agreed to come at 6:30 and you came at 7:30. Are you here to meet someone or to embarrass the girl?"

Zhao Jun quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I forgot that I was on duty today, so it took me some time to hand over. How about we make another appointment tomorrow? It depends on what the woman wants. It doesn't matter where we meet. I will be there on time."

The matchmaker saw sweat on his forehead and thought that he was not trying to trick him. He probably really came all the way here at a trot. His anger subsided a little. But he still said, "No, it's not going to work. If you don't make it the first time, it's usually hard to make it the second time. The girl has already been embarrassed, so it won't be good to come again."

Zhao Jun was annoyed for a while, and said to the matchmaker: "Then please take a look again, and let me know if there is a suitable one."

After saying that, he touched his pocket and thought to himself that his luck today was really bad. There was no banknote in his pocket, and the smallest one was a one-dollar bill that was not torn.

He gritted his teeth, took out a dollar and handed it to the matchmaker: "Everyone says you are the best at introductions and most of them are successful. You also understand the situation in my family, so thank you for your attention."

The matchmaker was delighted when she saw the one dollar. After taking it, she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry. Everyone in this area knows our reputation as a matchmaker. I promise to introduce you to a good one."

Zhao Jun thanked the matchmaker and paid the bill for the tea stall before sending him out. The matchmaker was still flattering him.

"Actually, Comrade Zhao, you are not bad. Although you have a child, there are many widows without husbands in the city. I have several of them. Their husbands died early, and they have to raise their children by themselves. Life is hard. Oh, I know what you want. We will definitely give priority to first-time marriages without children. But let's be honest, if there is no suitable one, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet those with children together, don't you think..."

Zhao Jun sent the matchmaker away with a smile and went home.

When I got to the factory gate, I remembered that I had not eaten dinner. I rummaged through my pockets, found two meal tickets for mixed-flour steamed buns, bought two steamed buns at the window of the small canteen, and took them home.

Zhao Jun could smell the aroma from a distance. The building was noisy. Children were fighting and playing, and many families were cooking in the corridors. From time to time, he could hear people scolding their children.

"Little monkey! Go out and play, don't make trouble here!"

"Dashun! Come back for dinner!"

"Yingzi! Don't go crazy outside, you little girl. Come back and wash your hands and eat!"

Zhao Jun walked through the corridor, greeting people from time to time. Nowadays, people live close to each other and the corridors are not very wide. Zhao Jun could only walk very carefully and was annoyed by the noises around him.

After a lot of effort, I arrived at my own door. Compared to the noisy and bustling other houses in the corridor, the Zhao family's house was empty and deserted.

Zhao Jun only bought a stove and placed it at home. The "cooking place" in the corridor that originally belonged to his family had been occupied by his neighbors.

When the neighbor saw Zhao Jun coming back, he greeted him awkwardly: "Deputy Captain Zhao, are you back? Have you eaten yet? If not, why don't you join us for a bite?"

That's what he said, but Zhao Jun knew it was just a common greeting.

"I've eaten, no need."

The neighbor breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll vacate the space for you after I finish cooking."

Zhao Jun nodded and walked into his house.

The room was a mess, with children's shoes scattered all over the room, a schoolbag on the table, and a cup overturned on the table. Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi, a brother and sister, were sleeping at the foot of the bed, holding a picture book in their hands. The house was in a mess with no place to step, and the lunch boxes were thrown on the floor...

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhao Dong looked up, saw it was him, turned his back without even saying hello.

Instead, Zhao Xi rubbed his eyes and called out "Dad" softly.

Zhao Jun rubbed his eyebrows and told himself for the millionth time that he must not lose his temper.

He left in a hurry and had no choice but to leave his child at a relative's home in the countryside. It was six months later when he returned after completing the formalities in the army and handling all matters.

These six months were enough to make Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi very different.

The family Zhao Jun found was his uncle's family. They had agreed to pay him fifteen yuan a month and take care of the child until he was discharged from the army. Before leaving, Zhao Jun even spoke softly to his brothers, saying that adults could discuss anything, and that the child was their nephew after all, so they would take care of him.

But Zhao Jun never expected that his brothers would just let it go without asking any questions.

And his uncle's family was not as peaceful as he imagined. The two children were fifteen days old each month, which was more than enough even if they were placed in the city. Zhao Jun also felt that he had made a good arrangement. After all, as long as the money was enough, wouldn't it be simple to take care of the children

But when he came back, he saw that Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi, although not thinner or anything like that, had evasive eyes and were far from being as lively and playful as before.

His uncle said that the child was shy, but Zhao Jun found out after asking around in the village that he gave his uncle 15 yuan. Although his uncle didn't deduct much, he kept the money and didn't give it to his cousins. This caused his cousins to quarrel. After all, they had two extra mouths to feed, and they were the ones who suffered, while the money was in the hands of the old couple.

It would be normal for the money to remain in the hands of the elderly since the family has not been divided.

But that's fifteen dollars!

Fifteen dollars a month!

Zhao Jun never expected that the extra money he gave would cause a lot of quarrels in his uncle's family. Several cousins' wives were quarreling all day long, one of them went back to her parents' home, and the next two of them quarreled again.

In such an environment, Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi heard words like their stepmother ate peanuts and their father didn't want them anymore, and they became more silent all day long.

In just six months, Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi suddenly became gloomy and depressed, and they didn't even call Zhao Jun "Dad" when they saw him.

Zhao Jun wanted to blame someone, but he didn't know where to blame.

Fifteen dollars was his own price. The brothers had already fallen out, so they had no obligation to intervene. Although my uncle's family was noisy, they didn't skimp on food or clothing.

How can we seek justice in this matter

Zhao Jun recalled that in his previous life, he was too busy with work to take care of his children's education. But he didn't ignore them. Every time he returned home, he would talk to his children. At that time, Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi were so well-behaved.

When she saw him, she would call him dad. She also knew that he worked hard in the city, so she would bring him tea when she got home and would talk about what she learned in school. Occasionally, when the child made a mistake, he would remind Wang Ying to remember to correct the child.

Zhao Jun always thought that raising a child was so simple. How difficult could it be to take care of food and clothing? He set the key educational concepts and directions, and his partner only had to follow his pace and take care of the child's material conditions.

When Zhaodong University graduated, Zhao Jun once spoke on stage as a representative of outstanding students' parents, confidently talking about his parenting ideas. He was also interviewed by many media and became the entrepreneur who "best educates children" in the eyes of parents.

Zhao Jun never thought that one day he would doubt the educational method that he was so proud of.

After Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi came to the city, he spent a lot of time trying to please the two children. Zhao Xi was fine, she was only five or six years old and didn't remember much. But Zhao Dong was not so good, he was already eight years old, and this year he would be nine, which was the most troublesome time.

No matter how Zhao Jun tried to coax him, he couldn't get a good look.

Zhao Jun couldn't figure it out when he was free. Zhao Dong was so sensible and easy to take care of in his previous life. None of the successful entrepreneurs around him had sons who were as ambitious as Zhao Jun. Most of them were second-generation rich kids, or poor people who became rich and didn't think about making progress. Only his two children were very ambitious. Zhao Dong not only inherited the family business but also expanded the territory. Zhao Xi became famous and became a star at an early age.

It was obviously fine if he had followed the way he did in his previous life, so why is this child so stubborn in this life

Zhao Jun tidied up the room roughly, poured himself some warm water, and ate steamed buns with the warm water.

Suddenly, I heard Zhao Dong's hateful voice: "You went on a blind date again."

Zhao Jun didn't say anything. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would not be able to control his temper and would beat Zhao Dong again.

Zhao Dong didn't pay any attention to his father's expression. He got up from the bed and shouted at him, "If you find me a stepmother again, I will never come back!"

The Zhao army endured and endured, and finally broke through the defense during the last period of the day.

"Zhao Dong! Who are you threatening? Why would you interfere in your father's affairs?"

Zhao Dong's eyes seemed to be covered with mist: "I don't care! If you find a stepmother, I will leave! You don't love me and my sister at all, you just want to find a woman to marry! Then get married! After you get married, you are not my father anymore!"

Zhao Jun couldn't believe it and felt a pain in his chest: "Why am I looking for a woman? It's for you two!"

Zhao Dong: "You are not! You are doing it for yourself! The stepmother you found for me was for you! You never asked me at all! The stepmother you found pissed off my grandma to death, I don't want a stepmother, I want my grandma, wow wow wow..."

When the deceased old lady Zhao was mentioned, Zhao Jun's anger suddenly subsided from the peak, and he felt cold all over.

Zhao Dong was still crying, but it was quiet outside. Zhao Jun knew that there must be a lot of ears eavesdropping.

He said weakly: "You don't understand, this is an adult matter."

Zhao Dong didn't know anything at this moment, he just wanted to cry! He closed his eyes and cried heartbreakingly.

Zhao Jun was extremely depressed. He couldn't persuade his son, and his daughter was crying with him. He couldn't keep his promise not to find a wife. He knew the root of the family's problems: it was the lack of a woman who could be his wife.

Zhao Jun rubbed his hair. It had been more than a year since he came to the city, but the career he had expected had not taken off at all.

In his previous life, he was discharged from the army a year late and went to work in a supply and marketing cooperative. In this life, he was discharged a year early, but the only positions the army offered him were the security department of a sugar factory and the logistics department of a small factory.

Zhao Jun asked, and his battalion commander told him very vaguely that Wang Lingling's incident had a certain impact on him. It was impossible for him to get a good unit again.

However, the battalion commander also secured housing benefits for him. As long as he retires and returns to the local area, he can convert his military service into working years, which will be enough for the unit to allocate him a small house.

Zhao Jun knew that there was no hope for the situation, so he had no choice but to choose the sugar factory security department out of the two positions.

The logistics department of the small factory was of course idle, but Zhao Jun knew that when the policy was relaxed in the future, those small factories would go bankrupt, but the large factories would be able to remain after the restructuring. Especially the sugar factory in Nanshao, which was successfully restructured after more than 20 years and was successfully retained.

The platform is important.

Zhao Jun thought that if he couldn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative, he could still seize the opportunity at the sugar factory based on what he knew in his previous life.

He had thought it through. The first step was to build good relationships with his colleagues and become the head of the security department. Once he reached the level of head, he would be able to meet the leaders of the sugar factory. Then he could build good relationships with these leaders like he did in his previous life. Then he could be transferred to a department with real power.

He should accumulate some connections in powerful departments so that when the economy opens up, he can be among the first to go into business and rise to the top with the help of his connections.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

He has been here for more than a year, but he has been tied up in family affairs and has no time to rest. What good relationship with colleagues, what promotion to section chief

Zhao Jun knew very well that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later be dragged down and die in this position of deputy captain of the security department.

So he urgently needed to find a woman.

Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi cried for a while, and soon a neighbor came and knocked on the door.

"Deputy Captain Zhao? Why are Dongdong and Xixi crying? Did you hit the children? Don't get physical over such a small matter. Just coax the children..."

Zhao Jun opened the door, forced a smile and thanked his neighbor: "I'm sorry, I'll comfort you right away. Sorry to bother you."

"Why are you disturbing me? I'm just worried that the child will hurt his throat from crying. He has to go to school tomorrow, and it will be painful if he gets sick from crying. Give the child some ginger and sugar water, and don't hit him again."

Zhao Jun responded with a "hmm" and sent the person away in a nice manner.

"Zhao Dong, I'm telling you for the last time, if you make trouble like this again, I will definitely beat you up next time."

Zhao Jun said something harsh. He had endured it for so long, and he had finally had enough. He warned his son and tidied up the house. He wiped the table casually and threw the dirty clothes into the basket, planning to wash them when he had some free time on the weekend.

Zhao Dong was frightened by Zhao Jun's rare serious warning and stopped crying. Zhao Xi was so frightened that he dared not speak. The two children barely washed their faces and feet and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Zhao Jun also washed his feet casually and lay down.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Zhao Jun felt hotter and hotter, so he opened his eyes.

Zhao Dong had already burned everyone to the point of being confused.

Zhao Jun was shocked and quickly got up to knock on his neighbor's door.

When the neighbor came out and took a look, he exclaimed: "My goodness, the temperature must be 39 degrees. Did you not feed the child ginger sugar water? Hurry up, take him to the hospital!"

Zhao Jun wrapped himself in a coat and took Zhao Dong to the hospital. The neighbor was also enthusiastic: "Go quickly, Old Ji! Old Ji! Accompany Deputy Captain Zhao to drive our bicycles!"

Zhao Jun quickly thanked him, left Zhao Xi to the neighbor, and took Zhao Dong to the hospital.

After the person left, the neighbor sighed and closed the door.

The Zhao family's life is really miserable!

Ever since Wang Ying confronted Jiang Lin, her days in the infirmary have become more and more comfortable.

Generally speaking, it's always like this when you arrive in a new environment. You have to fit in, but also let people know that you are not someone to be trifled with.

Wang Ying successfully achieved her goal and lived a good life where she could see a doctor when she was sick and relax when she was not.

Zhang Na was extremely envious: "It's better to be a doctor."

Being a nurse is okay, but many people in the factory like to get their medicines from the county hospital and bring them here. So the two nurses in the infirmary seem to be working around the clock. Doctors are very different. All the employees in the sugar factory know that minor illnesses should be treated in the infirmary, while serious illnesses should be sent directly to the county hospital. So the four doctors in the infirmary are idle most of the time. Even if they see a doctor, they are mostly for headaches, colds, fevers, etc.

For example, recently it is the peak season for colds, and many people come in for injections, so the doctors above can relax and just prescribe medicine and leave it to their own devices. On the contrary, she and Xiao Yang have to hang IV drips and give injections to people, and it is rare for them to sit down.

Wang Ying laughed with Zhang Na for a while, and then stuffed Zhang Na with a handful of five-spice fish skin peanuts made by Xu Shuang, which successfully made Zhang Na feel refreshed and full of energy.

"Sister Ying, you are so nice!"

After spending some time together, Zhang Na has now learned to call her Sister Ying without any instruction.

Wang Ying accepted the title with a smile, and noticed from the corner of her eye that Xiao Yang seemed very unhappy.

Now that the office is familiar, Wang Ying is familiar with everyone. The only one she is not familiar with is nurse Xiao Yang. This girl doesn't like to talk, and her expression is scary sometimes.

"Doctor Wang Ying, come here! There's a patient with a fever coming in for a follow-up visit!"

Wang Ying responded and went over. Over the past few days, Dr. Yang has also seen her professional excellence. So now he is very satisfied with her, and whenever a patient comes, he always calls her first.

Wang Ying didn't care. Since it was work and her job, she would just work. She couldn't lie down in the office anyway. Chatting was the same as working.

As soon as she came out, she saw someone she knew.

Zhao Jun appeared in the clinic with his child.

Because she had seen Zhao Jun at the door a long time ago, Wang Ying was mentally prepared to meet him again.

So she ignored Zhao Jun's eyes that were about to fall out of their sockets and calmly took the medical record from Dr. Yang.

"Comrade, can you tell me about your condition?"

Zhao Jun was completely shocked. He had asked about Wang Ying when he was in the countryside before, and knew that she was a barefoot doctor. After all, his mother-in-law who had passed away in the previous life was also a barefoot doctor, so it was not a big deal for a daughter to follow in her mother's footsteps.

But why is Wang Ying here

How did she get into the city? And how did she end up in the same factory as me

"Wang Ying you..."

"Comrade," Wang Ying said seriously, "don't try to make connections. We doctors treat patients equally. Come on, tell us about your condition."

Last time, it was a little bit of the original owner's consciousness in her body that caused trouble. This time, Wang Ying didn't intend to be controlled by the original owner's consciousness again.

Because she knew without having to confront him that Zhao Jun was obviously having a hard time.

People say that when exes meet, you can tell who lost with just one look.

Wang Ying felt that even if she said nothing now, Zhao Jun's self-esteem, which had once reached its peak and then suddenly plummeted, had probably been shattered into pieces.

Haha, you deserve it!
