In the next half month, Xue Ling mainly helped in the factory, and Cheng Tianyuan was also there, helping out on the night shift for three nights.
With the help of their husband and wife, Xue's father and Xue's mother felt much more relaxed, and occasionally they had time to play chess with Zheng Sanyuan.
One day, Xue Ling drove to the branch factory to look for some red threads.
Xue Heng was busy in the office. His hair was long and his face was full of stubble. Xue Ling was startled and he started laughing.
"Oh my god! You just came back from primitive society, right?"
Xue Heng blinked his eyes tiredly and said feebly: "I just got up... I didn't go to bed until three o'clock last night. I've been really tired lately!"
Xue Ling clicked his tongue twice and said: "The main factory has also been busy with three shifts. I have been free recently to come over to help, and I will go back to the construction site next month. When I can't hold it any longer, I will take two days off.
Don’t try too hard.”
"If we can't finish the work, how can we rest?" Xue Heng muttered: "It's also very hard for workers to work shifts. I have to work 24 hours a day, and I don't have to work shifts. I have to work from morning to night. Fortunately, I have nothing to do these nights.
I can squint for hours."
"Alas..." Xue Ling couldn't help but ask, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No!" Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "After eating in the canteen for almost two months, I can't even distinguish the taste in my mouth."
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "My mother-in-law was still talking about you last night, saying that you haven't eaten there for a long time."
"I miss my aunt and brother-in-law so much!" Xue Heng muttered: "The food they cook is my favorite in this life, bar none."
"Let's go!"
"Sister! My biological sister!" Xue Heng shouted.
Xue Lingsili walked out slowly and took out the fresh bread Cheng Tianfang brought home last night from the car.
"My family is tired of eating, and I originally planned to take food to the factory. When encountering refugees, you have to be merciful and help them."
Xue Heng's eyes lit up when he saw the bread. Regardless of her sarcasm, he took it and gnawed it. His appearance was not much different from that of a real refugee.
After eating one for a few bites, he immediately attacked the other.
"Where did you buy the bread? It's so delicious! There aren't many bakeries around here - I heard there's one in the North District, but I don't know where to find it. However, I stay here every day and don't even have to go to the bakery.
I can’t even get rid of my hair, and buying bread has become a luxury!”
Xue Ling explained: "My sister-in-law came back from vacation and followed her teacher. She helped out every afternoon and brought a lot of loot in the evening. We got tired of eating it."
"Give it to me! I'll help you!" Xue Heng mumbled and ate: "The craftsmanship is really good, I can open my own shop."
Xue Ling shook his head: "She has one year left to graduate, and after the new year she should be interning in the Imperial City. She has to work first, and then think about side jobs."
"I don't know that sister-in-law." Xue Heng said, "I've heard of her countless times, and I've eaten the bread she made many times, but I've never had the chance to see her in person."
"Sooner or later, we'll see her." Xue Ling explained: "When she gets an internship here, you can see her every day when you come here to have a meal."
"What does she look like?" Xue Heng asked curiously: "Does she look like my brother-in-law? If she looks like my brother-in-law... I guess she's not very pretty either!"
"Wrong." Xue Ling said: "They brother and sister do look very similar, but my sister-in-law has very soft facial features, fair skin, and a good figure. She is definitely a beauty."
"Bragging!" Xue Heng continued to eat bread.
Xue Ling said: "When you see it in the future, you will know that I am not lying. She is one or two centimeters taller than me, and she does look very good. She used to be chubby and dark, and she didn't think she was good-looking. Who knew that the top ten women
Eight changes: I have grown taller, my skin has become fairer, I have lost weight, and after studying for a few more years, my facial features have become more confident, and my taste in dressing has improved. It is definitely a white swan transformation!"
Xue Heng was secretly moved after hearing this, thinking that he must see what his brother-in-law's sister looked like in the future.
"By the way, as for your sister-in-law...then what should I shout?"
Xue Ling shrugged: "You must call me 'sister-in-law'! If she agrees, then call her by name. You are at least eight or nine years older than her. By the way, Uncle Zhilan and Auntie are coming over for dinner tonight, will you come?"
?”
"No time." Xue Heng muttered: "Don't tempt me. If you really sincerely invite me, then help me take over tonight."
"I'm not sincere." Xue Ling explained: "Unless you can help me with the night shift for my two sons."
That night, Xue Heng went to the workshop for inspection and came back. He found that the phone on his desk was ringing, and he quickly went over to pick it up.
——Ah Heng? Why didn’t you pick up after calling two or three times?
Xue Heng quickly answered with a smile: "I went to the workshop just now. Mom, you don't have to be on duty tonight? Why did you call me when you had time?"
My parents are usually busy at work, and occasionally go to accompany my younger brother when they have free time. They dare not come to the factory to disturb him.
Mrs. Chen chuckled, with an ambiguous tone in her tone.
"I...I have something to tell you."
When Xue Heng heard this, he immediately guessed that he was asked to go on a blind date again. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mom, haven't I already told you? I don't like blind dates... and I'm so busy now that I don't even have time to sleep.
, where can I have time to go on a blind date?"
Mrs. Chen lowered her voice: "Tonight we went to Lingling's house for dinner and met her sister-in-law. Oh! You don't know until you see her, it was love at first sight! That little girl looks like she is in her twenties, she is pretty and has a cheerful face and a sweet mouth.
She also knows how to cook, especially the toast she made, which almost ate your father and I."
Xue Heng gave a low "Oh" and said: "We are relatives, so don't think too much about it. Firstly, there is a big age difference between me and her; secondly, she has not graduated yet! Her daughter is still
Before you graduate, you have to get married - how could your uncle and aunt agree to this?"
When her son said this, Ms. Chen had no choice but to change the topic.
The mother and son chatted for more than ten minutes, until someone came to the office to see Xue Heng and they had to hang up the phone.
Mrs. Chen put down the phone and couldn't help but say "Hey...".
Xue Zhilan was reading a newspaper and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Why are you sighing?"
Mrs. Chen giggled and whispered: "I saw that Ah Fang is really beautiful and virtuous, and I was moved. It's a pity that she is still young and has not graduated yet."
Xue Zhilan twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a half-smile: "I'm still young now, and I'll be twenty next year. I haven't graduated yet. I will prepare for internship at the end of the year, and I will graduate next year. What are you anxious about?"
"Yes, yes!" Ms. Chen said cheerfully: "It's not far away! That child is really cute!"
Xue Zhilan reminded with a smile: "That has to be liked by your son. People like your son."
"I have an intuition - they can definitely see each other right!" Chen boldly asserted.
Xue Zhilan laughed.
To be honest, he also likes the Cheng family very much. It would be great if he could be his in-laws with such a kind, honest and generous family!
