Ding Qiunan's words made Li Chu smile proudly: "That's right, if my child doesn't look for me, who will look for him?"
"Hey, the child is just used to it. You try to come back every day. Otherwise, the child won't come to you in two days."
"You're telling me, how could I come back so late every day?" Li Chu took a sip of hot water poured by his wife and let out a pleasant sound.
Seeing her husband's comfortable look, Ding Qiunan pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to push his arm: "Okay, go wash up quickly, I've boiled the hot water."
Li Chu didn't rush to wash himself and asked: "Are the children good tonight?"
"It's still the same, but Huihui is a little too naughty. She can't even stay on the bed. She will crawl under the bed if she doesn't pay attention. Even Xuanxuan also imitates her."
"Aren't all children like that?" Li Chu put down the cup in his hand, stood up and went to the bedroom.
Ding Qiunan also followed him into the bedroom.
Li Chu sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the two sleeping children. He reached out and gently touched the children's faces, then leaned over and kissed the children's faces. Wen Hui had not made any movement, but Wen Xuan seemed to feel it.
He turned his head impatiently.
Ding Qiunan leaned against the door frame and looked at her husband and children with tenderness in her eyes.
"Go and wash it quickly, Li Chu, and shave your beard. Don't wake the child up."
Li Chu then got off the bed and reached out to touch his chin: "It's not pricked."
Ding Qiunan gave him a look: "I don't know if it's pricked or not!"
"Hehe" Li Chu smiled and reached out to touch his wife's face again: "Okay, you go and lie down on the bed, I'll go wash up."
After saying that, he walked to the living room, turned off the lights in the courtyard, took off his shirt, and walked into the bathroom naked.
The next morning, just as he was about to go to work with his wife, the call from the ministry came home and asked him to come directly.
Li Chu knew it was done when he received the call.
Yes, it was so obvious last night. If you still can't see it, you'd be a fool.
I got on my bicycle and took my wife to the hospital first, and then went to the ministry.
After arriving, he first went to Director Cheng and then to Director Zhang's office.
The fourth quarter of each year is the busiest time for the review committee, and they should get busy after the National Day.
As long as there are applicants across the country who apply for high-level assessments, they will go through.
However, in view of the fact that Li Chu's two children are still young, the leader arranged for him to travel around the 49th city.
For example, some groups go out for a month or two, which makes it much more convenient for them.
Although the other three people who participated in the review yesterday were running with me, it was not without benefits. Their technical level was improved by one level.
What Li Chu didn't expect was that he was actually promoted to one level.
Director Zhang said that this was decided through everyone's vote, and the minister also approved it on the spot.
This time, his technical level was upgraded to level six, which can be regarded as officially entering the advanced ranks.
After coming out of Director Zhang's office, he submitted the promotion documents to the back-office payroll office. Starting from next month, he will receive a monthly salary of 177.5 yuan.
Of course, the salary is not that much, and he still needs to pay organizational fees.
There is another document that needs to be submitted to the hospital when I return.
Starting from next month, his salary alone will be higher than that of his sister and brother-in-law.
After completing the procedures, Li Chu rode his bicycle back to the hospital.
If there is a need for his team to come forward for an assessment in the future, someone will notify him in advance.
When I returned to the hospital and handed the upgrade documents to the logistics department, the people in the logistics department were all surprised.
The time soon came to September 30th, and both Li Chu and Ding Qiunan took a day off today.
When Li Chu got up in the morning, he cleaned the house and yard thoroughly.
Don't let your guests come tomorrow and see that your courtyard is not clean. How can you have the appetite to eat?
When it was almost noon, Li Chu rushed to the hospital cafeteria and took home all the ingredients he helped purchase.
Not only did I borrow plates and bowls from the canteen, I also borrowed a round table and some chairs.
After lunch, He Yuzhu came over with a person he had hired to help with the cooking.
Aunt Wang and Wang Jun also came over to help in the afternoon.
Uncle Wang's other two sons cannot come back.
The stall in the kitchen was given to He Yuzhu, and there was nothing else.
He Yuzhu was very satisfied with the ingredients he bought, and he and the cook started working in the kitchen.
They need to pre-process some ingredients.
There is a refrigerator here in Li Chu. Many things can be put in the refrigerator without fear of damage.
To say that this refrigerator is indeed a good thing, Ding Qiunan feels a little distressed to pay the monthly electricity bill.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Uncle Wang also came over.
Not long after, Li Qin and Wang Ziwen came over with their family members.
Wang Jiayuan was obviously depressed during this period because her brother was serving in the army. After she came here and pushed the two children in the stroller to play, she could see a smile reappearing on her face.
This made Li Qin feel relieved. Jia Yuan made a small face every day, and she and Wang Ziwen also felt uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, He Yuzhu prepared a table of dishes and brought them out. Li Chu also asked him to set aside a portion of what he wanted to take home in advance.
He Yuzhu's craftsmanship has been praised by everyone.
Li Chu was also full of praise for his food. No wonder he later became the chef squad leader, responsible for leading Xiao Zao. He even cooked for the big boss many times on TV. This guy's skills are indeed beyond boasting.
Aunt Wang was relieved because of He Yuzhu's age.
Because of Uncle Wang, she couldn't entertain her in-laws and family in the restaurant. Aunt Wang already felt a little embarrassed. If the food didn't taste good, she wouldn't know how to tell her in-laws.
Fortunately, the chef Li Chu found is very skilled.
He Yuzhu and the cook didn't eat here either. Li Chu sent them back after the food was ready.
When sending him out, Li Chu stuffed five yuan into He Yuzhu's pocket.
I hadn't thought about cooking a meal this afternoon. Since they've prepared a large table of dishes, I can't give less.
He Yuzhu kept refusing, and he had already taken a lot of food. He was really embarrassed to charge for it one more time, and finally Li Chu stuffed it into his pocket before giving up.
The kitchen helper He Yuzhu hired was a temporary worker in their factory canteen. We usually had a good relationship with him, and he also took him to cook for other people's homes a few times.
"Master He, you have a good friend. What does he do?" The cook looked at the lunch box in his hand with joy.
He Yuzhu glanced at him sideways: "Why do you ask so many questions? Let's just do our own thing."
He has a bad mouth, but he never asks around.
Today at Li Chu's house, his sister and brother-in-law are both leaders. He Yuzhu knows this.
There is also an older man who has a car and a driver, so he must be a big leader.
