After lunch, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly went to the post office.
This was a letter to Qiao Jingyi. She really thought Yao Shimin was a good person.
Seeing that it was still early, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find She Xiaoyun.
"Xinyu? What brings you here?"
"I went to mail a letter. Ca by to see you. Has the sweet flour sauce arrived yet?"
"It’ll be delivered on Wednesday. Ordered forty pounds."
"Not much, with so many of us, everyone needs to get a share. I still need Brother Ding to help order more chili and garlic."
"That’s Brother Ding’s specialty. On Wednesday, I’ll have it delivered directly to your ho."
"Great, saves so effort."
"Wait a mont, there are peaches and apples here for you to take ho for the kids."
"Master Shang already bought so. There’s no ti to make peach preserves this year."
"There are, there’s still autumn peaches. They’ll be delivered tomorrow. I’ll have him send them to you."
"Great, we all have children. Make so to satisfy their cravings co winter."
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"One or two hundred pounds is fine. But you all need to help in the evening. I can’t do it alone; just peeling the peaches is a big job."
"No problem, I’ll co over after work to help."
"Alright, I’m leaving then."
"Wait, do you know Qian Jun has been coming here often these days?"
"Really? I’m not particularly sure, but I heard at lunch today that he quite likes a young girl here?"
"Qian Jun is not young anymore, it’s ti for him to find soone. But that young girl is quite cunning."
"There’s no fool in the world. It’s just that so people are willing to play tricks or not."
"True, with Qian Jun’s cunning, how could he be fooled by a young girl?"
"That’s their business. I’m heading back. If you help with the work, you can have more peaches, and think of a way to get fifty pounds of white sugar and twenty pounds of rock sugar."
"Alright, I’ll figure sothing out."
Just as Jiang Xinyu ca out, she bumped into Gao Ruyun, and they both smiled at each other.
"Secretary She, did Director Jiang co to see you?"
"Yes, why aren’t you resting?"
"I got up to drink so water and saw Director Jiang, so I wanted to say hello."
"Oh, she was in a hurry to get back to work." She Xiaoyun didn’t say much else; this Xiao Gao was too cunning.
anwhile, Wang Dajiang bought at today. There were pig’s feet at ho, and he was specially waiting for Kong nglin.
He humd a song, feeling delighted. Having a woman often made him think maybe he should find a wife.
Given his current position, finding a wife should be quite simple. The young girl at the restaurant is quite pretty.
Just as he was fantasizing, he heard noise outside.
Kong nglin ca in, closed the door behind her, "nglin, today there’s pig’s feet and a piece of pig head at, hurry and have a taste."
"Okay, it slls delicious."
The two sat down to eat. Wang Dajiang didn’t eat at at all, just the food Kong nglin brought from the canteen.
"Why aren’t you eating?"
"You eat. There’s not much of it, I’m afraid you won’t have enough."
Kong nglin was quite pleased hearing this. Did he really care about her that much?
So she generously picked a few pieces of pig head at into Wang Dajiang’s bowl.
"Hurry and eat, I have enough."
"No need, you eat more, it’s better to be a bit chubbier."
Looking at the sleazy man across from her, she felt he wasn’t that unattractive.
Wang Dajiang watched Kong nglin finish eating and quickly fetched her water to wash her hands, then offered her rice. This wasn’t sothing the canteen made; it was brought from the restaurant.
After eating her fill, Kong nglin was about to wash her al box when Wang Dajiang stopped her, "You don’t need to, I’ll do it. nglin, are you going ho or back to the dormitory?"
"I’ll rest here."
"Alright, let lay out the bedding for you first."
Kong nglin followed Wang Dajiang into the room. She saw him take out new bedding from the cupboard and lay it out.
"nglin, co up here."
The two sohow ended up embracing, like dry wood catching fire. Especially since Kong nglin hadn’t been with a man after coming out of the hospital and marrying Cheng Changsheng.
Wang Dajiang, too, as no one wanted to be with him due to his unattractive looks, ended up with nglin, how could they not be excited?
Both did not go to work that afternoon. Wang Dajiang held Kong nglin, "nglin, why are you so good?"
"Good? I can’t even have children anymore?"
"Doesn’t Cheng Changsheng have two sons?"
"They aren’t reliable; I’m just waiting for a suitable chance to adopt a little girl, so I won’t be left alone in my old age."
"Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you. If there’s a suitable one, I’ll bring her to you.
nglin, my cousin is with your second brother. She’s due to give birth soon. If it’s not a boy, you can take her and raise her?"
Kong nglin shook her head, "I don’t want to. I’d rather have a stranger’s child. You keep an eye out for outside. The one just born is better, easier to raise.
By the way, I heard that you liked your cousin and wanted to marry her?"
Wang Dajiang turned and pinned down Kong nglin, "Jealous? I used to like her, but now I have you."
"Hmph! Don’t try to fool ."
"Ha-ha, am I fooling you like this?"
The two tangled together once more. It wasn’t until five in the afternoon that Kong nglin lazily got up. Wang Dajiang had already heated the bathwater. She took a simple wash, then left with her al box.
Instead of going ho, she went to her second brother’s house.
When she was younger, she didn’t know what was going on, but now she knew about her second brother and his mother-in-law.
Used to respect ng Xiu Fen, but now she had all sorts of disdain for her.
A little girl opened the door. "Who are you looking for?"
"I’m Kong Demin’s sister, Kong nglin."
Seeing the girl’s puzzled look, she asked, "Is Zheng Xiuxiang here?"
"Yes, she’s inside."
Zheng Xiuxiang heard the commotion outside and recognized Kong nglin’s voice. She ca out supporting her belly.
"nglin, you ca over, staying for dinner at ho?"
"Uh, Zheng Xiuxiang, when are you due?"
"In September, it should be soon."
"Oh, when will my second brother and the others return?"
"I don’t know when Director Kong will be back, but Aunt ng should be returning soon."
Today, Kong nglin didn’t feel like going ho, wanting to stay out for a bit longer. Now seeing Cheng Changsheng and his three sons just made her feel blocked. She wondered what she was thinking at the ti? Why did she insist on marrying him?
Kong nglin sat in the main room, watching the fool cautiously look at her. This child should be her second brother’s, resembling her family by three points, though a fool.
Could it be actual divine retribution? Their wrongdoing punished by having it fall upon the child?
"Changjun, co over, let play with you."
