The moment Zhao Jun saw Wang Ying, he felt bewildered and then secretly delighted.
—He thought Wang Ying had changed her mind after experiencing the dull days with Xu Shuang. Otherwise, why would she work in the sugar factory? And why wasn't she surprised to see him
Two years ago, Zhao Jun might not have thought this way. Even if Wang Ying came back at that time, he would have to weigh it and might not even agree.
But now, two years later, although Zhao Jun deliberately did not think about it, he could not help but assume in his mind.
That is, Wang Ying's existence is indeed a little important.
If Wang Ying was here, Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi would be able to let go. In his previous life, he hardly cared about how Wang Ying tamed the two children, but in the end, the children were obedient, and there were no major problems in their studies or behavior. If Wang Ying was here, he would definitely be able to devote himself to his work. In just one year, he would be able to quickly get his career off to a good start. If Wang Ying was here, he would definitely be able to eat hot meals every day after get off work and have clean and tidy clothes when he went out. If Wang Ying was here...
So the moment he saw Wang Ying, after being shocked, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, as if he saw the dawn of hope that his life would return to normal.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Ying's cold expression and words brought him back to his original form in an instant.
Wang Ying looked like she had seen something dirty, and she almost wrote an expression of avoidance on her face.
"Comrade, if you don't want to see a doctor, please go out first and don't delay my consultation."
Zhao Jun's mouth was tightly tightened, and after a while he smiled sarcastically: "Wang Ying, are you going to pretend that you don't know me now? Is this necessary?"
It was as if I wanted to get close to her.
Wang Ying sneered: "What you said means that we have no friendship. To be honest, our friendship is that my cousin married you, right? Cousin's husband? How is my cousin doing recently? Is your life going well?"
Madam Yang hadn't left the clinic yet. She stared at Wang Ying's mocking response with her eyes wide open, which made Zhao Jun's face change color due to her sarcasm.
Zhao Jun looked as if he had been punched. He held his breath for a long time before saying, "Take the child to see a doctor. He had a fever a few days ago and was hospitalized for a week. Let's see if he has cleared the root cause and whether he needs an injection."
Wang Ying started talking about Wang Lingling, but he couldn't follow suit. Wang Lingling was in jail after all, and since he came to work at the sugar factory, he had deliberately ignored his second marriage history... A widower with two children can still find a wife, but after losing his wife, he has an ex-wife in jail. After he told others about it, no widow would dare to find him, no matter how poor her conditions were.
Wang Ying defeated Zhao Jun with just a few words, put on a mask and started to examine Zhao Dong, and put a thermometer under Zhao Dong's armpit.
After the examination, he said in a businesslike manner: "There is no problem. No more injections are needed. Eat light food recently and avoid foods that are difficult to digest. Also keep warm and avoid getting cold."
Zhao Jun started examining Zhao Dong from Wang Ying and kept a close eye on Wang Ying.
He wanted to find some love for children on Wang Ying's face.
But unfortunately, Wang Ying acted very normal throughout the whole process and did not show any special concern for Zhao Dong.
Zhao Jun felt cold. In his previous life, Wang Ying was so concerned about the child. After Zhao Dong went to college, Wang Ying sent him meals several times a week, fearing that Zhao Dong didn't have enough food and clothes at school. In the first few years when Zhao Xi was a star, she also followed the crew closely, fearing that the child would be wronged.
Is it possible that all that love is fake
Thinking of Wang Ying's question to him last time, "Do we have to wait until Zhao Xi is 18 to have a child?", Zhao Jun couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
The children were calling her mom, and they were already a family, so why did she still care so much? Was it really that important to have her own child? But if she really had another child, Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi would definitely be hurt. Why was she so selfish that she gave up the established path of her previous life without any basis just for such a ridiculous reason, and gave up her good life to choose a completely different path
After Wang Ying finished the consultation, she washed her hands at the sink and walked out without even looking at Zhao Jun.
Wang Ying walked out of the consulting room, and Doctor Yang followed her and asked in a low voice: "Do you know Deputy Captain Zhao?"
Wang Ying thought about it and found an excuse: "He had some unpleasantness with my cousin before."
Doctor Yang breathed a sigh of relief and did not ask about the unpleasantness. However, after a brief guess, it was probably because Zhao Jun had a blind date with Wang Ying's cousin before? Otherwise, why did Wang Ying just sarcastically call him cousin-in-law
Tsk tsk, it seems that this unpleasantness must be very unpleasant.
God knows the tense atmosphere in the clinic just now almost made her think that Wang Ying and Zhao Jun had some deep hatred.
Wang Ying saw Zhao Jun and Zhao Dong coming out of the clinic from the corner of her eyes, and raised her voice slightly: "Those are things of the past. If it weren't for Deputy Captain Zhao's questioning just now, I almost didn't remember it. You said it's a small world. Hey, I didn't expect that Deputy Captain Zhao would transfer to our sugar factory. Well, Doctor Yang, has Deputy Captain Zhao found a wife now?"
Doctor Yang had his back to Zhao Jun and didn't notice that Zhao Jun hadn't left yet. When he heard Wang Ying's question, he replied, "No, I've met a lot of people since I came here, but... our destiny hasn't arrived yet."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "That's right, fate is hard to come by."
Zhao Jun looked at Wang Ying expressionlessly, until Zhao Dong hummed uncomfortably, Zhao Jun realized that he had hurt the child's wrist.
He sneered, turned around and left with the child.
Zhao Jun is not so despicable as to cling to a woman.
Since Wang Ying wanted to go her separate ways, he would fulfill her wish!
Life is long, and he doesn't believe that he can't find someone better than Wang Ying!
Wang Ying hummed a little tune as she returned to the office. Zhang Na came back from drinking water and asked in surprise, "Sister Ying, what's wrong with you? Are you so happy? Is there something good going on?"
Isn't that a good thing? The annoying arrogant man will no longer bother her. Seeing him having a hard time, she feels as happy as if she has eaten honey.
"Yeah, I heard that the cafeteria has fried white melon and pork at noon, should we go there early?"
Zhang Na immediately came to her senses: "Okay! I won't rest and will go give people acupuncture right away. Let's go early at noon!"
Working days always go by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is late autumn.
Wang Ying struggled to get up in the morning, but her hand retreated as soon as it touched the outside of the quilt. After a long period of mental preparation, she finally stretched out her hand tremblingly to touch the clothes.
Xu Shuang had just bought breakfast and entered the room when she saw a snow-white arm stretching at the head of the bed. She quickly went forward and tucked Wang Ying's hand back into the quilt.
"Aren't you cold? Why are you holding your hand out?"
Wang Ying stared blankly: "I have to go to work."
Xu Shuang sighed: "I think you are confused. Why do you want to work today when you have a day off?"
This sentence made Wang Ying sober up and happy: "Yes, I won't go to work today!"
Xu Shuang: "I'll put the clothes next to the stove. You can put them on when they're warm."
Wang Ying poked her head out from under the quilt, with a tuft of hair standing upright on top of her head.
"Well, it'll be fine if it's a little warmer. I have to get up quickly. I have to go grab some fruit with Aunt Liu today. I heard that the vegetable stand got a batch of pears today, and I also need some oranges."
It was only after moving to the city that I realized why people interact more with their neighbors these days. It’s because of collective living, and being excluded is simply the biggest nightmare.
What rare things have come from the supply and marketing cooperative, what vegetables and fruits will be supplied at the vegetable market, how to find the coal purchase certificate, and the shares that some people have transferred...
This is not something that one person can understand.
We can’t expect the street loudspeakers to notify everyone every time, so we can only rely on neighbors to spread the news by word of mouth.
Wang Ying turned on the camera with difficulty and put on thick clothes: "Go ask Master to bring his ticket over, I'll buy it for him."
Xu Shuang: "Shall I go too? Otherwise it might be hard for you to get it."
Wang Ying: "Don't go! It's Aunt Ma and Aunt Xu who are going this time. If you go, you'll just have to carry the baskets for them!"
Wang Ying was not making this up. Last time, Aunt Liu complained to her, saying that she had taken her son there before, and every time she was ordered by the two aunts to carry things. Carrying things was not a big deal, but the key was that everyone carried the things together, so they were inevitably mixed together. When they came back, they had to argue over the things and it was very annoying.
Wang Ying secretly listened to the old advice to eat enough and directly refused Xu Shuang's offer to follow her.
"Go find Brother Liu at home and ask him how they got the thick curtains. I don't see that Master has any. It's cold this time of year and we can't do without curtains. The heat in the house will be lost. After you find out, we can get the curtains today. Also, the stove I ordered should be available today. You can pick it up, and when I come back, we can clear the kang and light it up today..."
Xu Shuang was not unhappy at all with Wang Ying's arrangement. She just said some "hmm" and then the topic returned to the three most basic questions in life.
"What would you like to eat for lunch today?"
Wang Ying still had the millet porridge stuck in her throat. After thinking for a while, she said, "Ask the master. He will cook whatever we want to eat. Haven't we finished eating the fish we brought back to the brigade a few days ago? Why don't we ask the master if he wants to have a fish pot?"
After arranging the affairs at home, Wang Ying quickly took the basket and the ticket and went out. Their compound may sound quiet, but it is still lively on weekends.
Just like now, there was a grape trellis in the courtyard, with dry branches in winter, and several men were sitting under it. Wang Ying took a quick look and saw that the two men from the Xu family, the two men from the Ma family, and the two men from the Liu family were all there, as well as a few strangers, probably from the next courtyard. They were playing chess excitedly at the moment.
Wang Ying didn't even say hello, and shouted at the door of Liu's house: "Aunt Liu, Aunt Tang, shall we go?"
Aunt Liu responded and brought her eldest daughter-in-law out.
Ma Dalian and Aunt Xu at the door also heard the sound and went out, each carrying a basket.
Wang Ying looked around and found that almost all the women who were free in the compound had come along. Ma Dalian brought her two daughters-in-law, Aunt Xu brought Zhang Yun, and Aunt Liu brought her eldest daughter-in-law.
Wang Ying was a little puzzled: "We don't need so many people to grab some fruit, right?"
Ma Dalian shrank back. To be honest, she had been very well behaved during this period and had never caused trouble for Wang Ying. As for the reason
Of course, it was her second son and youngest son who came home and told her that Wang Ying’s man Xu Shuang was now the chef of the restaurant.
Since Ma Dalian offended Chen Dong, she has kept her distance from the word "Master Chef". When she thought about how Xu Shuang became a Master Chef at such a young age...
Isn't this going to be the home of a state-owned restaurant in the future? I'm afraid I'll be a leader in the future, right
But don't dare to make a fuss, otherwise Xu Shuang will make things difficult for his son just to vent his anger on his wife.
Aunt Xu was unable to provoke Ma Dalian, and she also failed to put maggots in Wang Ying and her husband. Instead, she was jealous of their good life and was almost mad at them.
The most important thing is that every time she said something, the Xu family would cook meat for her on the third day at the latest.
Whenever meat was cooked, the children in the compound would make a scene. The Liu family could still exchange gifts with Wang Ying, but their family was not getting along well with Wang Ying, and even Aunt Xu's request was not accepted.
Aunt Xu thought bitterly, these two people must have done this on purpose!
But this point really caught her attention. Her eldest child was always making a fuss, crying and rolling on the ground, and then she would be beaten by her daughter-in-law Zhang Yun. After a long time, Aunt Xu accepted it and has been very quiet recently.
When Aunt Xu heard Wang Ying's question, she remained silent, but Ma Dalian spoke quickly.
"Oh, isn't it time for the winter cabbage? I asked them to keep an eye on it and come back to inform us when it arrives."
