Gu Nan put his things into his bag and left the office.
Jiang Zhigang has returned from saving money and is now sitting in Mr. Lu's reception room.
"Xiaoyue didn't come over? Let's go home early."
"Xiaoyue went out just now, saying she was going to buy a bottle of shampoo from the city for her mother."
The workers have all gone home for the holidays, and there are only a few migrant workers left in the factory who have not yet bought tickets. But Mr. Lu still does not want to go home. He said that he would wait until all the workers in the factory have left and the door is locked.
Only then can I take a complete vacation.
Gu Nan persuaded him to go home for a meal and come back later with Jiang Zhigang.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Xiaoyue walked in from the factory gate empty-handed.
Gu Nan asked, "Where's the shampoo you bought?"
Lu Xiaoyue's eyes flashed slightly as she explained, "I didn't buy the right ones. I'll buy them again when I return to the county. There are too many things and I can't carry them."
Gu Nan didn't care much about her affairs, so she responded, "Let's go home."
After arriving home and putting down his things, Gu Nan planned to take Lu Xiaoyue out to buy groceries and cook.
At the door, I met Wang Cuiping coming with her son, saying that she was looking for Gu Nan to tell him a math problem.
"You go in first and let my brother see if he can tutor you. If not, wait until I come back."
Jiang Zhigang graduated from elementary school, so it shouldn't be a problem in his second grade.
"Okay, let's go in first."
Wang Cuiping walked into Gu Nan's house with Tiedan.
When Gu Nan and Lu Xiaoyue went downstairs, she asked Gu Nan in confusion, "Sister-in-law, that Wang Cuiping is uneducated and talks too much, why are you so nice to her?"
Gu Nan was already the boss, so Lu Xiaoyue couldn't understand why he was so close to a divorced woman like Wang Cuiping.
Gu Nan said in an unhappy tone, "People who are not educated rely on their own skills to make money to support their families, and they don't take advantage of me at all. Besides, she and I are neighbors, and they always take care of me. It's her who cares about me."
Well, it’s not that I’m nice to her.”
Gu Nan walked in front, not wanting to talk to Lu Xiaoyue anymore.
Lu Xiaoyue's meanness and petty attitude are probably engraved in her bones.
Her parents didn't educate her well, and as a sister-in-law, she didn't even have that ability. It was better to waste less time and make trouble for herself.
When the two came back from shopping for groceries, Wang Cuiping and Tiedan were still there, and Jiang Zhigang was still helping Tiedan with homework.
Wang Cuiping saw Gu Nan coming back and hurriedly took the food from her hand.
"Sister Cuiping, we finally have a holiday. Please stay at my house for dinner today. Everyone is busy. The factory is busy during this time and everyone has worked hard."
"Okay, I still have two kilograms of meat at home, so I brought it over and cooked it together." Wang Cuiping is not a picky person. Her own cooking is not very delicious, and she likes to be lively. She is eager to bring the ingredients to join Gu Nan.
Before Gu Nan could refuse, Wang Cuiping walked out of the door and quickly brought the meat over.
She helped Gu Nan cook the meal very quickly.
When the vegetables were cooked, Lu Hao came back from get off work.
Today he finally got off a regular shift.
When he went upstairs, he heard the house was very lively. He originally thought it was his mother coming over.
Even now, Lu Xiaoyue would still feel awkward and nervous when she saw Lu Hao, "Brother, are you off work?"
Lu Hao nodded, "Well, are you on holiday?"
"Yes, it's a holiday."
"Are you back? Just in time for dinner." Gu Nan asked Lu Hao to wash his hands and put it on the table.
Lu Xiaoyue was watching TV. As soon as Lu Hao came back, she hurried to the kitchen to serve food.
Gu Nan said to Lu Hao, "It's a holiday in the factory. After everyone finishes this meal today, Xiaoyue will go back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year."
"Xiaoyue, will you still come to work in the factory next year?" Lu Hao asked.
Lu Xiaoyue smiled and replied, "We'll see what happens next year."
While Wang Cuiping was eating, she glanced at Lu Xiaoyue and said something extra, "Xiaoyue, I heard that you have a good relationship with the apprentice at the barber shop outside the factory."
Lu Xiaoyue didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, but she retorted irritably, "Who did you listen to? I just had my hair done once. It's a good relationship. Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Xiaoyue had a bad temper. She was Lu Hao's sister after all. Wang Cuiping glanced at her mouth and shut her mouth knowingly.
Lu Hao and Gu Nan didn't ask much about Lu Xiaoyue's personal affairs.
Lu Xiaoyue and Lu Hao have been estranged from each other since childhood. Even if they appear to be harmonious now, they are not very willing to ask more questions about Lu Xiaoyue.
It's useless to ask.
They only hope that Lu Xiaoyue can return to her hometown safely.
Lu Hao still had something very important to talk about. He looked at Jiang Zhigang and said, "Brother, you happen to be here. I want to tell you something."
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" Jiang Zhigang asked in a kind tone.
Lu Hao replied, "Experts from Kyoto are coming to our hospital for inspection."
Gu Nan on the side heard this and looked at Lu Hao in surprise, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, why are the experts coming at this time?"
"There are relatively few patients in Kyoto Hospital at the end of the year, because patients from other places generally do not choose to come to Beijing at this time, so they only have time now. This time they came here mainly to inspect and exchange the application of medical consumables in our hospital. Director Ye knows that
An orthopedic surgeon happens to be one of them."
Lu Hao continued, "Director Ye said that if it is convenient for the patient, he can apply for the procedure in advance and wait for the experts to come and perform the surgery."
Jiang Zhigang responded without thinking, "It's convenient for me."
