Deputy Director Zhen gave a faint "hmm" and raised her chin proudly.
"Very good. You don't forget to study during lunch break. It deserves praise."
Then, she looked at Wang Qing and Liu Xing.
"Don't think that you can be lazy during your lunch break. When you are taking a step back, others are learning. Don't think that you are just taking one step back. You are taking two full steps back!"
Wang Qing quickly lowered his head and responded softly.
Liu Xing buried his head and rolled his eyes secretly.
Xue Ling was holding back her laughter, biting her lower lip, and almost laughed out loud!
…
After get off work that day, Xue Ling took the bus back home.
The bus was still the same as before, there were no people around, it went around most of the city, and it went very slowly.
By the time she arrived at the door of the rental house, the sky had darkened.
After Cheng Tianyuan got off work, he went to the station and brought back the two large gauze bags he had left today.
Xue Ling just arrived home and quickly helped clean up.
"Brother Yuan, are you exhausted? You go and have a rest, I will pack your things."
Cheng Tianyuan was sweating profusely, so he went into the kitchen to light a fire, lit the briquette stove, and filled some water to boil.
"It's getting dark faster! Are you hungry? After the fire starts, cook some porridge and steam some big buns."
Before going home that day, he was afraid that too much stuff in the kitchen would get moldy, so he packed up all the dry goods and packed the rest home.
The festival has just ended and the sky is getting dark again. There should be nothing to buy in the market.
The two of them will just eat something tonight and make other plans tomorrow.
Xue Ling tried to persuade Liu Xing to eat at noon, but he didn't eat much. At this time, the sky had darkened, and he realized that he was hungry for a long time.
"Okay! Let's eat the big buns!"
My mother-in-law Liu Ying's cooking skills are really good, especially those big and fragrant braised pork buns, which are even more delicious than those sold by hawkers outside.
After eating it in the morning, she already started to miss it.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly when he heard what she said.
She was never picky about food, and she always ate whatever he did.
The two of them moved out the cabbage and radishes, and found that the mother-in-law had picked the best and biggest ones.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Let's put it by the window first, where it's ventilated and cool. I'll wash some and cut it tonight, and put it outside to dry tomorrow."
Xue Ling didn't know how to make side dishes, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you can arrange it. I'm only responsible for eating."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes flashed with fondness, and the work in his hands did not drop at all.
"This is my first time cooking side dishes outside, and I don't know if they taste good."
"It must be delicious!" Xue Ling picked up a big radish and smiled excitedly: "Brother Yuan, look! This is the radish I pulled out myself! I recognize it!"
Cheng Tianyuan was amused by her and couldn't help asking: "Don't all radishes look the same? How do you know you pulled them yourself?"
Xue Ling raised the big radish high and explained: "Look! This one is very different! This little tail is a little crooked and the head is particularly round. When I pulled it out yesterday, it took a lot of effort, so I
Memorize it firmly.”
Cheng Tianyuan teased: "You have to remember when you pull out a radish. Fortunately, you didn't pull out too many. Otherwise, how many could you remember with such a small brain like yours?"
Xue Ling laughed.
The atmosphere in the small kitchen was warm and there was constant laughter.
The two of them helped together and quickly packed up the things they had brought.
When the water boiled, Cheng Tianyuan took out two clean large bowls and filled them with water.
"The briquettes are burning. I'll put down some rice to make porridge. You also brought some clothes back, right? Go up and tidy up, then come back and have dinner."
Xue Ling responded and went upstairs holding her winter coat.
Before leaving, Cheng Tianyuan closed the doors and windows tightly. Xue Ling turned on the light first, then walked to the small living room and opened the small window a small crack.
She glanced at it and was about to walk away when she stopped suddenly!
There seems to be a figure sneaking around outside the yard downstairs!
She quickly lay down and stared carefully - she saw a short, fat figure squatting at the door in the night, looking into the yard.
The yard next door was closed, with only a few old potted plants. And their yard here only had a few pots of orchids planted, nothing else.
What on earth is that person looking at?
Ah! The bicycle is still in the yard!
Xue Ling threw off the clothes in her arms and ran downstairs in a panic.
She didn't dare to say anything. After rushing into the kitchen, she hugged Cheng Tianyuan's arm.
Cheng Tianyuan was about to steam the buns when he was hugged by her so suddenly. His handsome face turned a little surprised, and he saw that her face didn't look right, and her big eyes were panicked.
"What's wrong?"
Xue Ling swallowed secretly and trembled: "There... there are thieves outside!"
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes widened, and he jumped out of the kitchen like a rabbit, fast and fierce!
Before Xue Ling could react, she heard him suddenly yell: "Let go! You thief!"
Then there was the sound of the courtyard gate being thrown shut!
Xue Ling was frightened and rushed out!
——The yard is empty, the gate is wide open, the bicycle is gone, and Cheng Tianyuan is missing!
Xue Ling ran out in a panic. Someone seemed to be fighting in the dark alley, and the bicycle was thrown in the corner.
She ignored the bicycle and was worried that Brother Yuan would be injured, so she rushed over with her head burning.
"Come here! Thief! Catch the thief!"
When the thief heard someone shouting, he was so frightened that he pushed Cheng Tianyuan away and ran away!
Cheng Tianyuan gasped and rushed into the night on crutches!
Xue Ling was frightened when she saw him limping around, and wanted to catch up - but stopped dead in his tracks!
There is no one in this alley, so it is not safe to leave a bicycle here. Don’t let the thief get back to you and let the guy succeed!
She ran back quickly and helped the car up.
Except for the handrail being a little dirty, nothing else seems to be broken.
The surroundings were a little dark, so Xue Ling didn't care to look carefully, jumped up on his horse, and rode toward the alley where Cheng Tianyuan was chasing.
She hadn't ridden a bicycle for a long time, and because she was a little nervous and panicked, she was wobbling at first when she got on it. It took her a while to finally maintain her balance.
She hurriedly stepped faster and went straight forward.
The alley was a bit long, and when I reached the other side of the alley, I saw Cheng Tianyuan squatting on the ground, seemingly rubbing his ankles.
"Brother Yuan!" she shouted in panic.
Cheng Tianyuan looked up in surprise and saw her jumping off the bicycle nervously and rushing towards him. He asked immediately: "Are you injured? How are you? Where are you injured?"
Cheng Tianyuan looked unhappy and cursed in a low voice.
"When the little thief saw me chasing him, he jumped over the wall and threw the bicycle towards me. I was afraid that the bicycle would be damaged, so I reached out to fish it out, but my calf was hit by the pedal! I didn't feel much pain at first, and I chased him all the way.
The more pain you get when you run..."
Xue Ling hurriedly stopped the bicycle and squatted in front of him.
"Quick! Let me see!"
I saw a bright spot on his right calf - Oh my God! He was obviously bleeding!
