Cheng Tianyuan went downstairs.

Xue Ling calmed down his emotions, lifted the quilt, and put on his coat.

Just now, Ouyang Mei said that she heard the movement here in the afternoon, proving that the footprints that had turned from the alley earlier were from my sister-in-law.

It was cold and the ground was cold, and it was her first time in the county town. Where can I go?

Yesterday she quietly heard her asking her brother for money and said that she had no money on her.

Cheng Tianyuan gave her five dollars with a calm face, told her that she could not spend money indiscriminately without making money, and did not ask her what she was going to do.

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

Now that I have no money, I still run out alone - something is wrong!

Lin Cong was still in the county town and lived in Taolin Lane not far from the entrance of the big Hutong.

When she called home last month, her mother asked her if she had visited her cousin in the distance.

Xue Ling didn't want to say too much, but only explained that she was young and had great changes in the county town, so many places could not recognize her.

My mother didn't take it seriously after hearing this, saying that she just happened to meet her and she couldn't find her.

Brother Yuan knew a little 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.

I heard that I took leave every few days and my whereabouts were uncertain, so the president of the cooperative had a lot of opinions about him.

Cheng Tianyuan has been in the supply and marketing cooperative for many years. He has known many people on this line and has secretly asked Lin Cong about news, so he knows this.

Xue Ling didn't have to guess that guy was idle and was determined to be romantic, so he would not be willing to sit in the cooperative to earn about a hundred yuan a month.

My sister-in-law has run out one after another these days, and most likely she has gone to find him again.

Xue Ling had no choice but to remind Cheng Tianyuan to let him take care of this sister. If it really didn't work, he quickly sent her back to Chengjia Village. After all, the journey was inconvenient at this time and the communication was not well developed. It would be fine if separated.

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

Xue Ling walked down and found that his sister-in-law and Ouyang Mei were gone. Only Cheng Tianyuan was making ramen and was making bone soup in the pot, which smelled very fragrant.

Cheng Tianyuan seemed to guess her doubts and explained indifferently: "I'll drive them to the next door so that I won't feel upset if I look at it."

Xue Ling nodded.

When she remembered the words they scolded her just now, she was still angry. With them both, she would definitely be disgusted.

Cheng Tianyuan said: "I said, since you are here to work and Ouyang Mei personally recruited you, your food and accommodation will be solved by your employer. Since you don't listen to your family and want to work and work and be independent, you have to learn to be independent. My brother, I cannot always be responsible for your three meals."

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

"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said angrily: "It's just acquaintance. He eats and drinks all day long at our house - it's too unreasonable!"

Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and she whispered in a low voice: "You still have to take it to your heart when I told you about my sister-in-law just now."

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

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have to go to work, and you have to go to work. It is impossible to watch her twenty-four hours a day. She doesn't know how to love herself, and we can't do anything. The only way is to send her back and not stay in the county."

Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "That's all!"

Cheng Tianyuan made the noodles and cooked them quickly.

The two of them drank the noodle soup warmly and took a break early.

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

The snow last night was a bit heavy, the ground was covered with snow, and the bicycles stopped and stopped.

When Xue Ling arrived at the office, it happened to be eight o'clock and found that many of his colleagues had not arrived yet.

Director Liu rubbed his hands, stamped his feet, and quickly ordered the stove to light up.

"The weather is really cold! There is a lot of snow on the road, so colleagues should pay attention to safety when going to and from get off work. It doesn't matter if it's late. You can arrive before 8:30. Of course, your job must be completed before you get off work."

Everyone responded one after another and praised Director Liu for his consideration of the people's sentiment.

The old aunt in the kitchen came in to pour water and smiled: "The weather is too cold, there is no heating stove outside, so everyone will eat in the office in the future! Director Liu agreed to put an extra table in the middle and asked me to make more hot soup for everyone, so that they can warm up their bodies as they drink."

My colleagues all cheered and said yes!

You can drink some hot soup in the middle of winter - that would be better!

The old aunt smiled and said, "Then let's have some seaweed soup first, okay? Put some meatballs in it, so you can enjoy it."

My colleagues arrived one after another, and they were so cold that they were trembling. They ran to the stove to rub their hands and warm up.

Xue Lingnuan had enough, so he quickly gave up his seat and started working.

Deputy Director Zhen came, stomped his feet and looked at the office, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why haven't Wang Qing come yet? He's all late!"

Liu Xing said in a muffled voice: "The director said that we should arrive before 8:30 in the future, and it will take a long time to go on the road in winter."

Xue Ling smiled and explained: "Wang Qing's home is a bit far away. Maybe it's because there's too much snow and the bus can't walk fast."

Deputy Director Zhen glared at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I asked you something? Talking too much!"

After speaking, she quickly walked back to the office.

Liu Xing rolled his eyes and cursed a few times.

Xue Ling shrugged and didn't take it seriously.

At almost nine o'clock, Wang Qing finally arrived. His face was red with cold and his shoes were wet. He said that the bus had not driven and he walked all the way.

Xue Ling tsked twice, helped her take off her shoes and socks, pulled her to the stove to keep warm, and chatted for a few casual words.

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

The office suddenly became quiet, and everyone raised their heads and looked at them.

Wang Qing was timid and hurriedly lowered his head.

“…I…I’m sorry!”

Xue Ling was a little angry and couldn't help but say, "Deputy Director, can you talk to your colleagues about work? Why are you always nitpicking?!"

Deputy Director Zhen is usually like guns and cannons, and no one else except Director Liu was spared.

She had long disliked Xue Ling, and always felt that she was too bright and got married early, and she was a person who did not put her career first.

Because of Xue Ling's leave last time, she was scolded by Director Liu, which made her lose face and kept resentful of Xue Ling.

However, Xue Ling is usually rigorous in her work, never has any problems at work, and she goes to and from get off work on time, so she always can't find the opportunity to mess with Xue Ling.

This time, when Xue Ling dared to respond to him in public, he was so angry that he walked over quickly.

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