Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 83
Cheng Tianyuan went downstairs.

Xue Ling sorted out his emotions, lifted the quilt, and put on his coat.

Just now Ouyang Mei said that she heard the movement here in the afternoon, which proved that the series of footprints turning from the alley earlier belonged to my sister-in-law.

It's freezing cold, and it's her first time in the county. Where can she go?
Yesterday she heard quietly that she was asking her brother for money, saying that she had no money on her.

Cheng Tianyuan gave her five yuan with a sullen face, told her not to spend money without making money, and didn't ask her specifically what she was going to do.

Xue Ling just gave her 30 yuan a few days ago, and she went shopping with Ouyang Mei the next day.

Now I have no money, but I still run out alone-it's so wrong!
That guy Lin Cong is still in the county seat, and he lives in Taolin Lane not far from the entrance of the big alley.

When she called home last month, her mother asked her if she had visited her distant cousin.

Xue Ling didn't want to say too much, but explained that she was young and the county had changed a lot, so she couldn't recognize many places.

My mother didn't take it seriously after hearing it, saying that she just met by chance back then, so forget it if she can't find it.

On the contrary, Brother Yuan knew a little bit more, and quietly told her that after Lin Cong left the cooperative in Chengjia Village, he worked as an accountant in the cooperative in the county town.

I heard that he asked for leave every three days and his whereabouts were uncertain. The president of the cooperative had a lot of opinions on him.

Cheng Tianyuan has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for many years and knows many people in this line. He once secretly asked for information about Lin Cong, so he knew this.

Xue Ling didn't need to guess to know that that guy was idle and only wanted to be romantic, so he was not willing to sit in a cooperative and earn a hundred yuan a month.

My sister-in-law ran out one after another in the past few days, probably looking for him again.

Xue Ling had no choice but to remind Cheng Tianyuan to take care of his younger sister.If it doesn't work, send her back to Chengjia Village as soon as possible. After all, the road is inconvenient and the communication is not developed at this time, so it will be fine if they are separated.

It was quiet downstairs, only the slight sound of Cheng Tianyuan kneading his dough.

Xue Ling went down, and found that sister-in-law and Ouyang Mei were gone, only Cheng Tianyuan was making ramen, and the bone broth was being boiled in the pot, which smelled delicious.

Cheng Tianyuan seemed to guess her doubts, and explained in a low voice: "I drove them to the next door, so as not to be upset just looking at them."

Xue Ling nodded.

Thinking of what they scolded her just now, she felt angry.It must be very unappetizing to have the two of them around.

Cheng Tianyuan said: "I said, since you are here to work, and Ouyang Mei recruited you personally, then your employer has to settle your food and accommodation. Since you don't listen to your family and want to work independently, then you You have to learn to be independent. As an older brother, I can’t always be in charge of your three meals.”

Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "So...they went next door to cook?"

"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan said angrily: "We're just acquaintances, eating and drinking at our house all day long - that's outrageous!"

Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I told you about my sister-in-law just now, so you still have to take it to heart."

Cheng Tianyuan nodded and replied: "It's snowing again outside, the road must not be cleared yet. I plan to find a donkey cart or a tricycle and take her back. When the snow stops, I will start immediately."

He frowned and said in a low voice, "I have to go to work, and you have to go to work. It's impossible to watch her 24 hours a day. She doesn't know how to love herself, and we can't help it. The only way is to send her back, don't stay in the county. "

Xue Ling smiled wryly: "That's the only way!"

Cheng Tianyuan made the noodles and they were cooked quickly.

The two drank the hot noodle soup and took a rest early.

The next morning, Cheng Tianyuan made breakfast for the two of them, packed up after eating, and drove Xue Ling to work.

The snow last night was a bit heavy, and there was a lot of snow on the ground, and the bicycles stopped and went.

When Xue Ling arrived at the office, it was exactly eight o'clock and found that many colleagues had not arrived yet.Director Liu rubbed his hands, stamped his feet, and quickly ordered the heater to be lit.

"The weather is really cold! There is a lot of snow on the road. Colleagues must pay attention to safety when commuting to and from get off work. It doesn't matter if you are a little late. You can arrive before 08:30. Of course, you have to finish your job before you can leave work."

Everyone responded well and praised Director Liu for being considerate of the people.

The old aunt in the kitchen came in to pour water, and said with a smile: "The weather is too cold, there is no heater outside, everyone can eat in the office from now on! Director Liu agreed to put an extra table in the middle, and let me cook more for everyone." A hot soup, drinking it will also keep you warm.”

Colleagues all cheered and said yes!

In the winter, you can drink some hot soup-that would be great!

The old aunt smiled and said: "Then let's have some seaweed soup first, okay? Put some meatballs in it, I'm sure you like it."

Colleagues arrived one after another, shivering from the cold, and ran to the heater to rub their hands to warm up.

Xue Lingnuan was enough, she quickly gave up her seat and started working.

Deputy Director Zhen came, stomped his feet and looked around the office, couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why hasn't Wang Qing come yet? You're late!"

Liu Xing muffled: "The director said, from now on, you can arrive before 08:30, and there will be long delays on the road in winter."

Xue Ling smiled and explained: "Wang Qing's home is a little far away, maybe there is too much snow and the bus can't go fast."

Deputy Director Zhen stared at them coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Did I ask you something? Talk too much!"

After saying that, she walked quickly back to the office.

Liu Xing rolled his eyes and cursed a few times.

Xue Ling shrugged and didn't take it seriously.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Wang Qing finally came. His little face was red from the cold, and his shoes were wet. He said he had walked all the way because the bus was not running.

Xue Ling clicked tut twice, quickly helped her take off her shoes and socks, pulled her to the stove to warm up, and chatted casually.

Deputy Director Zhen happened to come out to pour water. Seeing the situation of the two of them, he couldn't help shouting: "Xue Ling, are you lazy?! Wang Qing, you are almost an hour late, and you dare to chat with your colleagues ?!"

The office suddenly fell silent, and everyone raised their heads and looked at them.

Wang Qing was timid and hurriedly lowered his head.

"……I'm sorry!"

Xue Ling was a little angry, and couldn't help but said: "Deputy Director, isn't it okay to chat with colleagues about work? Why do you always find fault?!"

Deputy Director Zhen is usually like a gun. Except for Director Liu, everyone else is spared.

She has long disliked Xue Ling, always thinking that she is too bright, married early, and is a person who does not put her career first.

And because Xue Ling asked for leave last time, she was scolded by Director Liu, which made her lose face, and she always hated Xue Ling in her heart.

However, Xue Ling is usually rigorous in doing things, never has any problems at get off work, and commutes on time, so she never finds a chance to punish Xue Ling.

This time, Xue Ling dared to speak back against him in public, so he was so angry that he walked over quickly.

"You are lazy at work, and you dare to say that I am picky?! What is your attitude?! Ah?"
