Chapter 362 The Secret to Longevity: Stay out of Other People’s Business
Seven o'clock in the evening
Since Bai Ling wanted to rest early, the group did not continue chatting after the meal.
After Tian Zao thanked Lin Chen and Bai Ling again, she helped Bai Ling get into the car.
"Goodbye, Sister Bai Ling, goodbye Director Lin. I'll come to the steel mill to see you after the New Year, and we'll discuss recruiting."
"Goodbye Comrade Tian Zao, I'll be waiting for you at the steel mill after the New Year."
Lin Chen and Bai Ling waved to Duo Ye and drove away.
Tian Zao let out a long sigh after watching the car drive away.
"It's done. Thank you, Master Duo, for introducing me to this important official."
"No need to thank me, Director Lin, I'm not going to say anything more! We are all doing this for the needy... It's my duty to do my part for Xicheng."
Tian Zao nodded and got on Duo Ye’s bicycle.
"Mr. Duo, what is the relationship between Director Lin and Sister Bai Ling? I saw Director Lin helping Sister Bai Ling cook just now, and it seemed like he knew what she liked to eat."
During the meal, Lin Chen cooked for Bai Ling several times, and Tian Zao saw it clearly. Now he is a little curious...
The reason why Lin Chen did not avoid them was to deliberately arouse Tian Zao's curiosity...
"Little girl, don't ask around. They are just comrades. Director Bai was seriously injured in the south before, and it was Director Lin who saved him... They became good friends, and Director Lin's wife became sworn sisters with Director Bai. So Director Bai is his sister-in-law... They are relatives."
Duo Ye knows everything, but he never talks nonsense. His secret to longevity is never to meddle in other people's business...
Tian Zao came over after he understood what he heard.
"It turns out to be my lifesaver and my sister-in-law!"
"Director Lin got married so early! I'm one year older than him."
Duo Ye thought, this is bad, Tian Zao might also like him! What is Sun Tiedan doing every day?
"Their child is already several months old! Don't ask...By the way, why haven't you and Tiedan made any progress yet?"
When Duo Ye mentioned Tiedan, Tian Zao remembered that guy.
"That's it! He hasn't said anything, and he can't ask me to say it! He said he's busy with work right now, and I was thinking of waiting a little longer!"
Duo Ye is an old hand. When he heard what the little girl said, he immediately felt that something bad was going to happen...
Tian Zao is now thinking about going back to report the good news. She wants to inform Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu and the others of the good news.
Moreover, a branch of the steel rolling mill will be put into operation in Xicheng next year, which will solve the food problem for many people in the area.
Tian Zao was in a good mood along the way. She didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Less than two minutes passed
Tian Zao couldn't help but ask again about Lin Chen's work at the steel mill. This time she asked only about work issues.
Duo Ye told the other party everything he knew...what were his amazing medical skills and his outstanding abilities.
Anyway, the task assigned to him by Li Hongying has been completed, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with him.
……
Bai Ling looked at Lin Chen who was concentrating on driving and smiled.
"How about your hands, young lady? They are so tender! You shook hands with me three times when we first met. You are really amazing."
Lin Chen laughed out loud: "Unfair! I feel more wronged than Dou E. She took the initiative to shake hands with me three times, as you saw. But her hands are very rough, she must have suffered a lot."
Bai Ling lightly hit the girl and said with a smile: "What? Are you feeling sorry for the girl who has had to endure hardships growing up? Do you want to bring her back to warm your bed... and feed her with delicacies from land and sea every day?"
Listening to Bai Ling's deliberate teasing, Lin Chen did not refute. Anyway, his charm value had been released and he just had to wait for the fish to take the bait.
"Just a few of you are enough..."
ten minutes later
The car stopped outside Xiajia Hutong
Lin Chen carried Bai Ling horizontally and walked into the alley.
"Put me down! Otherwise they will laugh at me."
Lin Chen shook his head: "That's not how you brought it back. Who would laugh at you?"
After Bai Ling reached out and knocked on the door, Liu Lan followed Xiao Li and ran to open the door.
It was also thanks to Xiaoli's sensitive ears, otherwise the people in the house would not be able to hear such a light knock on the door.
After Liu Lan opened the door, she saw that her sister Bai Ling was carried back, so she lowered her head and smiled secretly.
Bai Ling noticed Lan Zi laughing secretly, so she defended herself: "I...my legs are numb from riding in the car, why are you laughing? Haven't you ever been hugged before?"
Liu Lan laughed even harder: "I'm not laughing! Everyone is waiting for you. We just had dinner. Xiao'e and Qiuye are here to join in the fun..."
Lin Chen looked at the main room which was full of people, and slowly put Bai Ling down.
"We'll move after the Chinese New Year and live in Guanhuyuan. We don't mind if there are too many courtyards in a three-story building... we just have too many rooms."
Qin Huairu had already taken everyone there... a beautiful big house by the lake. The environment was nice and quiet... very suitable for pregnant women to rest.
What’s more, Wenli, Liang Ladi and the others have even chosen which room they will live in!
……
The courtyard was especially lively after the holiday, and most of the residents were still chatting at around seven in the evening.
What they discussed most was the difficulty in buying supplies. Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu and a few others had already discussed going to the grain station to queue up at five o'clock tomorrow morning.
Just when a few people were about to go home to sleep, Lin Chen pushed his bicycle into the central courtyard.
Although I'm not sleeping at home, I'll put my bike at the door just to make it look like...
"You guys haven't slept yet, aren't you afraid of the cold?"
Yan Bugui laughed cheerfully and said, "Brother Lin, you don't know how hard it is to buy firewood and rice until you run a household. It's the end of the year and the grain and oil on the market are already in short supply. Let's go to the grain station early tomorrow morning to line up. Otherwise, we won't have any flour for making dumplings..."
After listening to a few people complaining... Lin Chen expressed his sympathy and walked back to his home...
My family eats Jingyang rice and Wannian tribute rice, so there is no need to worry about flour for making dumplings.
I came back just for show, I don't have time to chat with them...Liu Lan and An Jie are still waiting for me.
……
West City
After Tian Zao returned home, she felt relieved that she had completed her mission. She could also spend a happy new year with peace of mind...
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about the scenes at Donglaishun.
"He helped me so much, I should treat him to a meal! Today's meal was all paid for by Director Duo... I should show my appreciation."
After making up her mind, she couldn't help laughing again.
Li Xiulan, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Sister Zao, why are you laughing so late at night when you're not sleeping?"
Tian Zao argued: "No...did I laugh?"
"You laughed out loud but you still say you didn't laugh. Did Brother Tiedan come looking for you?"
Tian Zao hurriedly denied: "No, go to sleep. Why would he look for me..."
The two of them were laughing and couldn't feel sleepy.
Tian Zao told the other party about going to Dongcheng in the evening...
"Xiu Lan, you said Director Lin helped me so much. Should I treat him to a meal?"
Li Xiulan said, "You said Director Lin is so handsome, so of course we should go and treat him back."
Tian Zao laughed and said, "What's the use of being handsome? He already has children. I don't know what these young people are thinking. Why do they get married so early? You should learn from me..."
Li Xiulan bit her lip after hearing this...
