The next morning when he went to work, Xue Ling went straight to Director Liu's office.

Both directors' offices have separate stoves to keep heating, and Director Liu is wearing reading glasses and squints his eyes to review documents.

When Director Liu saw her in, he was a little surprised.

"Xiao Xue, is there anything wrong?"

Xue Ling grinned and said, "You are really aware of things! I really have something to ask you for."

Director Liu put the pen in his hand and said warmly: "Sit down. Please come to my office less. Every time you come, there must be something wrong. Could it be that you come to chat with me? You can chat. Come on a few more times during lunch break, so that I won't be able to nap and yawn alone and have nothing to do."

Xue Ling laughed and said, "We are young and I wish we could sleep a few more hours a day! We won't come to chat after lunch."

Director Liu glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Do you go to bed for lunch? I don't know!"

According to his observation, although Xue Ling didn't have much content in the column, she either read books or wrote during lunch break. Even if she didn't do her job, she did not waste her time.

She read mainly English books, and he couldn't understand them, but he knew that this young man was very hardworking.

Young people of her age are mostly still with a little bit of childlike character or an angry young man, but she doesn't know how to do things calmly and cautiously, behave well, and get along well with colleagues.

Xue Ling was not afraid at all when he heard what he said.

"Wow! I didn't expect you to observe us secretly in private! Then I have to be careful next time and dare not be a waste!"

Lunch break is everyone’s free time. Director Liu is not that harsh even when he works, so he naturally won’t be able to take care of his lunch break.

After hearing this, Director Liu laughed.

"What? If you have something to do, please help me?"

His eyes fell on several manuscripts in her hand and said, "I may not be able to help you! I can't recognize all the twenty-six English letters."

Xue Ling said seriously: "Director, I actually want to ask you for a long vacation. My father-in-law is in poor health and has been tortured by illness all year round. After discussing with my wife, I planned to take him to the First Hospital of the Provincial Capital to see a doctor. I had consulted with the doctor before and said that my father-in-law might have to undergo surgery in such a situation. To estimate, it will take about half a month to check and surgery. So, I have to take a leave."

Director Liu frowned in embarrassment and thought for a while.

"Xiao Xue, it is necessary to be filial to the elderly as a child. I also like you to have such filial piety to your family. The people are filial to you first. If I don't approve of such a holiday, it will make me feel dissatisfied."

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "But... you should know that you are the only one in charge of the English column in our newspaper. You are not here for several weeks, so what should you do with the column? I don't know where to find someone to replace you!"

Xue Ling smiled and shook her head, and handed him the final copy in her hand.

"Director, don't worry, I know the situation of our newspaper. Look, look! These are the new manuscripts of the following columns I made last week by squeezing time to stay up late. I was afraid that the time to come back would be uncertain, so I made several issues in a row, which was enough to cope with the next three weeks."

She added: "Don't worry, I didn't deal with it carelessly. I checked it twice yesterday and it was confirmed. Looking back, I asked Editor Lin to help me pass it over again to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Director Liu took it, glanced at it for a few times, and finally laughed.

"Very good! This way the work will not be delayed, I will approve you a leave immediately."

Xue Ling said again: "As for salary and bonuses, you should deduct it if you should, and according to the regulations of our newspaper."

Director Liu smiled and his chin signaled the final draft she had brought.

"You have completed your work ahead of time, why are you deducting you? Our newspaper is a regular unit, and every employee has the right to ask for leave and take leave. Everyone has a family, and there are old and young people at home, and sometimes something will inevitably happen. I am a person who has experienced it, and I understand. If you deduct a little full attendance bonus, the rest will be as usual."

"Thank you, Director!" Xue Ling quickly thanked.

Director Liu said gently: "Take good care of the elderly. The weather is cold, so take good care of yourself. Don't fall ill after coming back!"

Xue Ling bowed slightly: "I understand! Thank you, Director!"

The leave was very smooth.

After get off work, Xue Ling went home with Cheng Tianyuan to pack his luggage.

The two old men had already packed up and explained that they had brought all three sets of clothes that Xue Ling bought for them, which was enough to wear.

Then, they went downstairs to prepare supper.

Xue Ling took out the money and handed it to Cheng Tianyuan for 1,500 yuan.

"Brother Yuan, you can't put the money in one place. You carry half of it, and I also carry half of it."

Cheng Tianyuan hesitated and asked again: "Don't bring too much, right?"

The doctor said about 1,700 or eight, why did she bring a full 3,000?

Xue Ling said: "When you go out, you should take more money and take care of both food and accommodation. The weather is too cold. Don't make yourself sick, but it will become a burden."

She smiled and blinked: "Also, we are not at home, and it is not safe to spend money in the house for more than ten or twenty days."

Cheng Tianyuan felt it made sense and whispered: "Then you leave some spare corners and bring the rest with you."

"Okay!" Xue Ling said.

Cheng Tianyuan didn't know what he thought of, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Wife, do you know? You should be the richest man in our village."

Richest man?!

Xue Ling laughed as soon as he heard this.

"Is it possible? It's only about three thousand yuan!"

Cheng Tianyuan nodded seriously and explained: "In our place, we either farm or raise fish, and the biggest profit is only more than 1,000 yuan in a year. Last year, I heard from the village chief that the richest person in the village is Cheng Biao and his family, who have more than 2,000 yuan."

Xue Ling smiled and said, "If I counted that way, then I am indeed the richest man now!"

The county town will develop vigorously tomorrow, and soon, Chengjia Village will rise with the flow.

If she does not seize this good opportunity, relying solely on translation, she will soon be left behind by everyone in their village, including the man in front of her.

In the last life, although she did not dare to see him, she kept paying attention to him silently.

He followed the trend of great development to run factories and build houses, and later entered the real estate industry. In more than ten years, he became a veritable rich man.

Although he only has more than 300 deposits around him now...

Cheng Tianyuan stacked his jacket and stuffed it into a large yarn bag.

"I'm already done. Wife, please bring one more long coat and a few more pairs of socks."

Xue Ling looked at the fan heater beside him and couldn't help but say, "Brother Yuan, let's... bring a heater over here!"

Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and whispered: "No, right? The hospital should have a stove, right?"

Xue Ling replied: "I'd better bring it with me. According to the weather forecast, there will be a great cold wave in the next few days, so I'd better bring it with me for convenience."

"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan said: "I'll go and get the packaging box and put it on. I'm very strong, so I'll just pick it up."
