Chapter 64 Play hard to get
Dormitory for female workers in steel mill
Liang Ladi took advantage of the fact that her roommate went out to get hot water and there was no one in the room, and quietly took out the egg that Lin Chen gave her yesterday... After peeling it, she began to eat it in small bites.
"Why on earth is he helping me like this? When we first met, he gave me eggs and sugar tea, and now he's even assigned me a job. This is no small matter. No one would believe in his benevolent heart as a doctor. If he is kind-hearted, why doesn't he help others? There are so many people who are more pitiful than himself..."
Liang Ladi thought about it and walked to the mirror to look at herself...
"He must have seen the girl's passive steps. Don't think you can succumb to me just because you are handsome. You have to see if he is a liar... It is impossible for him to deceive you so easily."

eight pm
Courtyard house
After Lin Chen and Qin Huairu had a delicious meal, they simply washed up and went to bed.
"Lin Chen, please check my pulse! I've been working so hard this month, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?"
Lin Chen kissed her forehead gently and said with a smile: "Huai Ru, let me tell you, you are very normal. I can get pregnant next month if I want to, but I just want us to spend more time together as a couple..."
Qin Huairu in his arms raised her little head and looked at her man.
"Really? You can get pregnant at any time?"
"Really? You're relieved now! There's no rush to have children. The best childbearing age for girls is after 20, so that the offspring they raise will be smarter and healthier. I'm a doctor and I know all this very well... You're only 19 now, don't be in a hurry. Just explain this to our mother when you go back to the countryside. We call this eugenics..."
Qin Huairu suddenly became cheerful after hearing Lin Chen's explanation, and she lightly patted her man's strong chest.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you hate it? I was wondering why my stomach wasn't moving. It turns out you were just greedy for the bed! Then I'll play with you for a year, and when the time is right, we'll have another big fat boy."
The two started joking again...
"Actually! This courtyard is not peaceful. Just imagine how you would have jumped up and down to fight with Jia Zhang last night if you were pregnant now. It will be safer after I have a handle on all the little braids in the courtyard..."
"Well, I'll listen to you. As long as I'm healthy, that's fine... Next time I go back, I'll tell my mom and sister-in-law that we're doing eugenics, so they can rest assured."
Lin Chen thought that if he got the system, there would be more women, and more women would have more children. There was no need to rush now... Nowadays, young girls are giving birth to children. Wouldn't it be nice to have two more years of crazy time?
……
Time passed slowly and it was Sunday in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Liang Ladi never met Lin Chen again, as if the two had never known each other and had no intersection at all.
Liang Ladi originally wanted to go to the medical department to find him, but after hesitating for a few times, she didn't go. He is the head of the department, so why should she go to him...
But Peng Jizhong encountered her sooner or later these days... He even took advantage of the lunch break to go to Warehouse No. 8, but Liang Ladi's attitude was lukewarm, so he stopped going.
Outside the dormitory gate of the steel mill
Peng Jizhong waited for Liang Ladi. Today was the time they agreed to go into the city.
Having not been to the city for several days, Liang Ladi wanted to invite Peng Jizhong for a drink as soon as possible to fulfill her promise...
On the way into the city
"Comrade Liang Ladi, where should we go to have fun? I heard from people in the workshop that there are many parks in Sijiu City. Should we take the bus to Beihai Park?"
Liang Ladi hadn't seen Lin Chen in the past few days, so she had no mood to go out with him...
When Lin Chen's opposite sex charm value is 80, it means love at first sight, and when it is 90, it means you can't forget him. Every point above 90 is a fatal attraction, and Liang Ladi's heart has been entangled by Section Chief Lin without realizing it.
Lin Chen had been deliberately not seeing her these past few days, just to play hard to get and make her feel uneasy. How could a girl of eighteen or nineteen be a match for Lin Chen...
"Let's go to Wangfujing Street! There are many restaurants there. I'm mainly here to fulfill my promise to treat you to a drink... I also want to do some shopping."
After hearing this, Peng Jizhong thought to himself, who cares about your meal? I arranged a place for you because I miss you...
Although it was arranged from the beginning to create opportunities, the two did agree that Liang Ladi would treat him to a drink to express her gratitude after arriving in Sijiu City.
So the two of them didn't take the bus, but asked for directions and walked to Wangfujing. On the way, when they passed by Chaoyang Post Office, they each sent a telegram home...
Liang Ladi informed her parents that she was safe and sound and that she was working in a warehouse. Finally, she asked her parents to send back the cornmeal that Peng Jizhong had brought with him.
Peng Jizhong was going to pay the 20 cents telegram fee for Liang Ladi, but she refused...
……
Courtyard house
Lin Chen took Qin Huairu out with him. They did not ride bicycles but chose to walk to Wangfujing.
"Lin Chen, we don't need anything at home, just buy some small things and bring them back. The road is full of ice chips, so it's more convenient to walk than ride a bicycle..."
Qin Huairu also wanted to walk around with Lin Chen...
"Well, let's buy a radio today so you can entertain yourself while I'm at work."
Qin Huairu was very happy when she heard that Lin Chen wanted to buy her a radio to relieve her boredom.
"Is it expensive? I don't have much money with me. Do you want me to go home and get some?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "I brought it! You can bring it back later..."
"Hey, there's opera on the radio! I like listening to it..."
In this way, Lin Chen took Qin Huairu and rushed to Wangfujing, because Lin Chen had seen Liang Ladi and Peng Jizhong were about to go to Wangfujing.
……
half an hour later
Wangfujing Street
Under Lin Chen's deliberate leadership, the four of them soon met each other.
"Hey, Comrade Liang Ladi, what a coincidence that you are here shopping too. Isn't this your fellow countryman, Comrade Peng Jizhong?"
Liang Ladi didn't expect to meet Lin Chen, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, here...but Qin Huairu beside Lin Chen made her nervous.
The relationship between me and Peng Jizhong has been explained clearly long ago...but who is this person with Lin Chen?
In the warehouse, I was afraid of exposing myself as someone I didn’t know well enough to be familiar with Lin Chen, so I never dared to ask around about him…
"Yes, Chief Lin, what a coincidence, you are here shopping too."
Lin Chen smiled at Peng Jizhong and said, "Let me introduce you to my wife, Comrade Qin Huairu. Huairu and these two are workers in our factory. Comrade Peng Jizhong had a high fever a few days ago and was sent to our medical department..."
Qin Huairu was surprised when she heard that he was a worker at a steel mill.
"Hello, I'm Qin Huairu."
Liang Ladi was already stunned. She suddenly felt uncomfortable for no apparent reason. The man already had a family. And they were both talented and pretty...
Seeing that Liang Ladi didn't respond, Peng Jizhong quickly replied: "Hello, hello, I'm Peng Jizhong. Thank you, Chief Lin, for treating me that day. I didn't expect to meet you here today."
"No need to thank me, it's my duty. You are a worker and I am the factory doctor. This is my job!"
