Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 490 Family and Relatives

After Niu Xiaoqiang walked out of the office, he found Fang Dongping and told him that he was going out to do some errands and asked Fang Dongping to take care of the factory.

Fang Dongping trusted Niu Xiaoqiang very much, he didn't ask Niu Xiaoqiang what he wanted to do, and he nodded in agreement.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simi walked towards the barren hills north of Aoshan Town with a basket on their backs and a medicine shovel in their hands.

This direction was just facing the Hope Farm. Niu Xiaoqiang was very familiar with the road. He took Yu Simeiyang along the path and came to the mountain in the shortest distance.The two laughed and chatted on the road, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Sister Yu, can you describe to me what the herbs you are looking for look like? I can help you find them."

Hearing this, Yu Simi showed a disturbed expression, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally told the truth: "Actually, this medicinal material is not difficult to find. The reason why I called you up is to give you a chance to relax." ,take a break."

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little dumbfounded: "Then...the birthday thing is also fake?"

Yu Simei shook her head: "That's true, today is indeed my birthday."

Niu Xiaoqiang was angry and funny, but at the same time felt very helpless.Even if he knew that Yu Simei had lied to him, he couldn't lose his temper.Because Yu Simei's character is very sensitive, if she said something too harsh, Yu Simi would definitely find it difficult to accept it.

Yu Simei knew that Niu Xiaoqiang was a little angry, so she quickly explained: "Xiaoqiang, you have worked too hard these days, if you continue like this, you will definitely have problems with your body, if you don't believe me, go look in the mirror yourself, you will have black spots Eye circles."

Niu Xiaoqiang scratched his head, "So I still have to thank you?"

Yu Simei shook her head seriously: "Do you think I'm telling you nonsense? I'm telling you the truth. You may not have noticed that you've been laughing less and less these days. You always look dignified and preoccupied, if you ask me, you don’t need to work so hard, you’re just a secretary, and the factory doesn’t belong to you, why do you work so hard for your master?”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't say that the factory was his own, so he could only nod with a wry smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I will take care of my body in the future, but I really have a heavy responsibility during this period, and I don't have time to rest, let's talk about it after I finish my work .”

Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was about to go back to work, Yu Simi reached out and grabbed his arm: "Since we've already come out, don't be in a hurry, why don't you accompany me to collect the medicine before going back."

Niu Xiaoqiang also thought about it: "Okay, let's continue to collect herbs."

There is a fork ahead, the left is the path leading to Hope Farm, and the right is the road leading to Niujia Village.Naturally, Niu Xiaoqiang would not lead Yu Simei down the mountain, so he immediately took Yu Simmei on the road to Hope Farm.

Unfortunately, the hole that Niu Xiaoqiang dug by catching wild boars was right in front of him. The two of them walked more than 100 meters, and Yu Simei saw the hole.She couldn't help showing a curious look, "Xiaoqiang, do you know what this is for?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained with a smile, and the more Yu Simi listened, the more she wanted to laugh, until finally she couldn't hold it back, and she kept smiling coquettishly while covering her small mouth.

Niu Xiaoqiang touched his nose: "Sister Yu, is this so funny?"

Yu Simei restrained her smile a little: "I didn't expect you to bring out all your sows in order to eat pork. Fortunately, you didn't lose them, otherwise your father would have beaten you to death."

Niu Xiaoqiang showed embarrassment on his face: "How could I think so much at that time? I only had the idea of ​​eating pork in my mind, and I didn't think deeply about other things. Okay, let's go, don't dawdle here."

Yu Simei nodded and continued walking with Niu Xiaoqiang.

The more you go up, the more desolate, the weeds on the roadside are all withered and yellow, only the pine trees are green.If an ordinary woman came to such a place, she would definitely feel uneasy and even fearful.But Yu Simei was different, she felt that staying with Niu Xiaoqiang was very solid and safe.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's back struggling to move forward, Yu Simei hesitated for a moment and asked the biggest question in her heart: "Xiaoqiang, you... have you had any problems with me recently?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback for a moment, then stopped and looked at Yu Simei: "Sister Yu, why do you think so?"

"This...I feel like you've been avoiding me on purpose recently, and you don't even talk to me, Xiaoqiang, is there something I did wrong that made you unhappy?"

Niu Xiaoqiang is indeed deliberately alienating Simei recently, and the reason is very simple: he doesn't want others to misunderstand the relationship between him and Yu Simei.

This incident has troubled Niu Xiaoqiang for a long time, and almost everyone felt that his relationship with Yu Simei was abnormal.Niu Xiaoqiang felt aggrieved in his heart, and after thinking about it, he thought of a way to alienate the relationship between the two.

At this moment, after listening to Yu Simei's face-to-face questioning, Niu Xiaoqiang felt a little guilty and guilty: "Sister Yu, there is no such thing, I have recently shifted my work focus to the Asian Machinery Factory, because I am busy with work, I rarely have the opportunity to talk to you. Those who spoke did not mean to alienate you on purpose."

Yu Simei half-believingly said: "Really?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded against his will: "Of course it is true. If I deliberately alienate you, why would I go out with you to collect herbs?"

Yu Simi stared at Niu Xiaoqiang for a while, then suddenly asked such a question: "Xiaoqiang, is there someone gossiping about us?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stared at Yu Simei in a daze: "This... how do you know?"

Yu Simei turned her head aside and whispered, "I'm not blind, can I still not see it?"

"Then how do you feel about it?"

Yu Simei lowered her head and said nothing, she reached out and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: What do you mean?Why don't you speak?Is this question difficult to answer?
"Sister Yu, there's no need to hide between the two of us. If you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, is there a third person here? What are you worried about?"

Yu Simei still didn't speak, which made Niu Xiaoqiang quite embarrassed.In desperation, he could only smile wryly: "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask, and let's go gather medicine."

Yu Simei followed Niu Xiaoqiang with her head down, and suddenly said after walking not far: "Xiaoqiang, my sister treats you as the only family member in the world."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded first, and soon realized something was wrong, thinking to himself: Why use the word family instead of relatives?

Is there a difference between family and relatives?Of course there is.In terms of close and distant relationships, family members go further than relatives.
