Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 238 The Tears of the Widow
"Sorry, it's almost cleared over there."

Xu Jichang sat next to Fang Runsu and comforted him in a low voice.

Fang Runsu nodded without saying a word.

Xu Jichang glanced outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then got to the point: "Guard your family's property."

"Don't let others have a chance."

The so-called condolences are just clichés.The most important thing now is to prevent relatives of the Wei family from bullying Fang Runsu and getting involved in the inheritance.

"Several relatives of the Wei family... seem to have ideas about inheritance."

Fang Runsu said with a complicated expression.

"Don't be afraid, since his parents gave you both the money and the house before they left."

"Then it's all yours and his. Once he's gone, it's all yours."

Xu Jichang gave her a moral education, "If anyone dares to cause trouble, just tell me and I will seek justice for you."

"Um……"

Fang Runsu nodded and said nothing.

"Go out and take a last look."

Xu Jichang felt that the two of them stayed together talking for too long, so he said.

After saying that, he and Fang Runsu stood up together and walked to the next room, with Yu Yingzi supporting her.

In the room next door, all traces of filth had been cleaned up by relatives of the Wei family, and Wei Shulin's body was covered with a thick white cloth.

After Fang Runsu came over, everyone present stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Fang Runsu trembled all over, not out of sadness, but out of fear.

In the middle of the night, the whole room was filled with the smell of blood, coupled with the dim lights and the pale white shroud, it made everyone feel frightened.

Besides, she is a woman.

"Let's take another look at the woods."

Wei Shulin's sister said, pulling Fang Runsu to the bedside and lifting up the white cloth.

Fang Runsu burst into tears: she was so frightened that she cried.

At this time, someone whispered something nearby, meaning that Fang Runsu was pregnant with the child, so don't make her feel uncomfortable.

Wei Shulin's sister nodded and whispered a few words in Fang Runsu's ear.

This probably means that considering that she is pregnant with a child, who is the last remaining member of the Wei family, she doesn't have to be busy these days. They are responsible for all the funeral arrangements.

Fang Runsu said thank you and was helped away.

Xu Jichang stepped forward to comfort Wei Shulin's sister and said that the factory would send condolence money later.

When an employee of a state-owned factory dies these days, his or her employer will send some money as funeral expenses.

The same is true for the death of an employee's immediate family member, but the corresponding costs will be less.

Relatives of Wei Shulin's family expressed their gratitude to Xu Jichang and said that it was not easy for him to come over in the middle of the night.

Xu Jichang said a few more words to the Wei family before leading Yu Yingzi away together.

"Fang Runsu has become a widow..."

Not long after leaving the house, Yu Yingzi whispered.

"Be careful if the Wei family hears it and beat you up."

Xu Jichang laughed.

Yu Yingzi curled her lips: "It's not possible to hear it."

"It feels like his family isn't that sad either."

"That's for sure. Who would like it if he loses his temper?"

Xu Jichang whispered in the same low voice and hurried home with Yu Yingzi.

At this moment, the fish belly white has appeared in the east.

Yu Yingzi ran back to her room to sleep in her cage, but Xu Jichang tossed and turned after returning to the bedroom, unable to fall asleep.

Wei Shulin actually died like that.

It was a bit surprising, but nothing surprising.

With his physical condition, it wouldn't make any difference whether he died or not.

"Fell asleep?"

Just when Xu Jichang was staring at the ceiling in a daze, Lan Qimei's voice came from the bedroom door.

"Didn't sleep."

Xu Jichang stood up, leaned on the bed and looked at her and said, "Why are you awake so early?"

"I didn't sleep."

Lan Qimei walked to the bed and sat down, "Do you want to have breakfast?"

"Later, I'm not hungry yet."

Xu Jichang took Lan Qimei's little hand and said, "Get in bed quickly, your hands are cold."

Lan Qimei blushed and smiled, took off her jacket and pajamas, and got into bed.

Xu Jichang hugged her: "I'll keep you warm."

"Tell you something."

Lan Qimei raised her face, looked at Xu Jichang and said, "There is a vacant position for the cooking class monitor in the cafeteria, and the leader wants me to take it."

"How should I refuse?"

Xu Jichang patted her peach butt through her shorts: "Why do you refuse?"

"It's the right thing to say."

Lan Qimei's face felt hot, and she quickly took his hand away, "I feel like I'm not in charge of people, so I can just finish the dishes with peace of mind."

"I'm asked to be the squad leader. I'm afraid that I won't be able to manage people well."

"Try it. You have cooking skills and can convince people. You will definitely be able to do well in this position."

Xu Jichang said seriously, "You don't have to refuse."

"Really? Then... let me try."

Lan Qimei said with a determined expression on her face.

Xu Jichang was pressed against her warm body for a while, his whole body became warm, and he felt a little sleepy.

"Get some sleep."

Xu Jichang hugged Lan Qimei, whose face was still hot, and said, "Get up in a minute."

Unexpectedly, Lan Qimei shook her head.

Xu Jichang understood immediately and immediately hugged Lan Qimei and started kissing her, his big hand becoming dishonest again...

……

……

At noon, the chairman of the factory union came to Xu Jichang and said that he had learned about the death of Fang Runsu's husband, and entrusted Xu Jichang to bring the condolence money and funeral expenses.

Xu Jichang took the thick envelope from the other party's hand and said that he would look for her later.

Enterprises run society. These days, large state-owned factories take care of the life, old age, illness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation of their employees and even their families.

This is the treatment for any immediate family member of a regular employee who dies.

After the chairman of the factory union left, Xu Jichang went to the parking shed and rode his bicycle home. On the way, he thought about the scene last night and actually wanted to laugh.

The last bit of the old Wei family's flesh and blood...

It's obviously his own child, right?

Thinking back to the way the Wei family pretended to cry and cry, Xu Jichang felt very funny in his heart.

Back home, Xu Ji saw Lan Qimei busy in the kitchen instead of preparing the meals in advance as usual. He knew that she came back late because she had too many things to do as the kitchen leader.

"Seventh sister, you don't have to come back to cook for me next time."

"You have to mind your own business."

When pushing the bicycle through the kitchen, Xu Jichang said to Lan Qimei's back.

"Don't hinder me, I can make it in time."

Lan Qimei didn't even look back.

"That's too tiring."

"No, I feel very happy when I think of you eating the food I cooked."

At this time, Lan Qimei put the lid on the pot, turned around and spoke to Xu Jichang seriously.

Well, since she has this awareness, let her do it.

Xu Jichang was very happy with Lan Qimei's statement and pushed the car into the house and parked it.

There are three dishes of two meat and one vegetable at noon today, and the content is very suitable to Xu Jichang's taste.

After dinner, Xu Jichang did not take a lunch break as usual, but went directly to Fang Runsu's house, handed over the condolence money and funeral expenses to Fang Runsu, and comforted her.

In the afternoon, Xu Jichang went to the production office to see if the fertilizer was loaded onto the truck.He had no hope at first, but found out that half of the car was actually loaded, and he couldn't help but feel better.

Back in the office, Chen Xiaoen and Yu Yingzi were busy with the matter at hand.

Xu Jichang felt that this room was a bit lively with three people, so he planned to send Yu Yingzi to the sales department.

Fang Runsu from the sales department had just lost her husband and was about to take maternity leave. It was the right time to recruit people.

Chen Xiaoen is more suitable to go out with him to discuss business, and stay with him so that he can give orders at any time.

But there is no need to rush into implementing this.

As soon as Chen Xiaoen arrived, he asked Yu Yingzi to go to the sales department. It looked like she was being squeezed out, which was not conducive to the relationship between the two.

After Xu Jichang sat in his seat for a while, Du Xiaojing came to see him again carrying a satchel and fruit.

"bought?"

Xu Jichang asked a little surprised when he saw the big red apple in Du Xiaojing's hand.

It's not that easy to get fresh fruit in the Northeast this season, and she doesn't have the space on the shelves like she does.

"The people from the oil field came here on a business trip and brought them to me."

"Oh, that."

Xu Jichang accepted two apples: "Take the rest back, I have enough."

"I still have some left. I sent several to the Heavy Health Department."

After Du Xiaojing finished speaking, he stuffed the apples in front of Xu Jichang, then magically took out two more from his bag, turned around and handed them to Chen Xiaoen and Yu Yingzi.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Miss Jing."

The two took the apples and said to Du Xiaojing.

Yu Yingzi looked very happy, but Chen Xiaoen was just a little bit different from her.

After putting away Du Xiaojing's apples, Xu Jichang stood up and walked twice outside with her.

"Have the people in the oil field sent a message for your father?"

After going out, Xu Jichang asked Du Xiaojing.

"What's your dad? Let's call him our dad."

Du Xiaojing glanced at him and couldn't help but scolded him.

"Okay, then did our dad say anything to you?"

Xu Jichang naturally changed his words.

"I didn't say anything, just letting others take a look at me."

Du Xiaojing said calmly, "Also, the country is going to establish a new central enterprise, and my father may need to be transferred back to Beijing to work."

"That's pretty good."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "This way the family can be reunited."

There were two climaxes in the establishment of central SOEs in China. The first was in the early 50s, and the second was in the late 70s and early 80s.

Mr. Du's return to the capital at this time can be regarded as in line with the trend of the times.

"No. Our mother is worried every day that he won't be able to eat well or drink well in other places."

"As soon as he comes back, our mother will feel relieved."

Du Xiaojing said thoughtfully.

"That's not the case. For someone like our father, there will naturally be someone to take care of his life."

Xu Jichang said in relief.

"Hey, I can't help my mother thinking like that."

Du Xiaojing shook his head and said, then made a face at Xu Jichang, "But don't worry, as long as you are here today, I will not leave."

"I haven't thought about this level yet."

Xu Jichang spread his hands and said frankly.

"Humph, then you just don't care about me."

Du Xiaojing pouted and pretended to be unhappy.

"No way. Besides your parents, who else cares about you more than me?"

Xu Jichang quickly coaxed him, and Du Xiaojing's face looked better now.

Speaking of which, it is still easier to coax women these days than in later generations.

Even a girl with an extraordinary background like Du Xiaojing can make her smile again with just a few words.

"Hmph, trust you for now."

"By the way, what's the name of the lesbian who woke up in your office?"

"My name is Chen Xiaoen, from an overseas Chinese family. What's wrong?"

"Hmph, let me tell you. He is so arrogant, he turns out to be a fake foreign devil."

"Hey, why is she so arrogant? Why are you describing her like this?"

"You protect her."

"That's not true. I am seeking truth from facts."

"Pfft, you're in a hurry. I was just kidding."

"Oh, are you kidding me?"

"Oh, don't mind. I'm really joking. By the way, it's been cold these two days, so remember to put on some clothes and don't freeze."

"You're still talking about me. I see that you are wearing quite thin clothes now."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Xu Jichang laughed wantonly with Du Xiaojing and even held her hand.

Du Xiaojing was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand. After looking around to make sure no one saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop talking, Ang, there is still work waiting for me in our department."

She was worried that Xu Jichang would have further intimacy, so she said goodbye somewhat hastily, "By the way, the thief you helped catch last time has been sentenced."

"Has it been handed over to the local government?"

"Yes, he was sentenced to two years. He was sent to the south to do a labor camp."

……

Du Xiaojing stopped talking verbally, and finally talked to Xu Jichang for a long time before they went back to their offices.

Speaking of which, Xu Jichang still misses his time in the security office.

Although it is not his specialty, there are many people who cannot handle it.What man doesn't like the feeling of commanding a large army?
After get off work in the evening, two more waves of people came to order goods. They were the leaders of the material supply unit that Ding Xiawei introduced last time.

Xu Jichang took the order at once and said that he would have the goods ready as soon as possible. They were welcome to come and inspect the goods in ten days.

This order brought another profit of more than 3000 yuan.

Xu Jichang calculated in his mind while talking to the two of them.

"Seventh sister, cook two more dishes tonight."

After the other party politely declined his offer to stay and left, Xu Jichang happily said to Lan Qimei.

It doesn't matter if there are no guests, he can eat happily by himself.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and Xu Jichang's appetite improves as he receives another large order.

"okay."

When Lan Qimei was busy in the kitchen just now, she had vaguely heard some of the conversation between the two parties. She knew why Xu Jichang was so happy, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Stir-fried beef lobster leaves, spicy chicken cubes, steamed pork ribs, and a sauced pork elbow.

When Lan Qimei served the four dishes, the entire living room was immediately filled with aroma.

"Seventh sister, I have a task for you."

Xu Jichang picked up the chopsticks and said to Lan Qimei who was sitting down.

"Say."

"Hire a nanny for Fang Runsu. In what name, you decide. In short, you must avoid suspicion."

"It would be more appropriate for you to come and invite me."

"Huh? That's what you said. The company cares about its female employees, so it's natural to tell them."

"Seventh sister is good, you have become smarter."

After Xu Jichang thought about it, he smiled and praised.

"It means I wasn't smart before."

Lan Qimei pursed her lips, holding back a smile and looked at Xu Jichang.

"No, no, I don't mean that. You've always been smart."

Xu Jichang said with a smile, "It's just the first time you gave me an idea today and it helped me."
