Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng took the train at four o’clock in the afternoon. The next morning, they arrived at the train station in City H at seven o’clock. After changing trains a few times, they got off at the town’s bus station at twelve-thirty.
Yu Bing bought a bunch of local specialties and even Xiao Sheng, despite being injured, carried a few bags of light things. Just as they were wondering how to go back, they saw Wu Qing, who was already waiting at the exit with the tractor.
Wu Qing hurriedly went forward and took the things from Yu Bing as he said with a smile, “Yu Bing, Brother Sheng, you guys are finally back. My father had to take care of everything these few days. He’s been spread out pretty thin.”
Yu Bing smiled and said, “The Village Chief is very capable.”
Wu Qing looked at Xiao Sheng and asked with concern, “Brother Sheng, are you alright now?”
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
At that moment, Xiao Lin had already placed the things into the back of the car and helped Xiao Li into the car.
No matter how prosperous the city was, Xiao Lin only wanted to satisfy his curiosity. At this moment, after returning to this familiar place, he couldn’t wait to rush home.
After all, east or west, home was the best!
As soon as the tractor arrived at the end of the village, Yu Bing saw Little Tiger waiting at the door obediently.
When Little Tiger saw them, it immediately turned to look at the house and barked a few times. Then, it ran forward happily and circled the tractor.
“Little Tiger!” Xiao Li had just gotten out of the car when she heard the sound. After she squatted down and spread her arms, Little Tiger jumped forward happily.
Yu Bing whispered to Xiao Sheng, “I think you might as well find someone to buy a puppy and leave it at home. It can guard the home and accompany Xiao Li. Although she acts like she doesn’t care about that surgery on the surface, she must feel upset. A puppy can divert her attention.”
In the past, it was difficult for Xiao Sheng to earn money, so he saved every cent he had. Although he was still short of money now, since he had more connections, things were much easier than before. He had enough money to feed another mouth.
Xiao Sheng also agreed with Yu Bing’s suggestion. “That’s a good idea. I’ll find someone who has a puppy.”
After Wu Jin sent them back, he went home.
At this moment, Jiang Chun, who was in the house, had just finished cooking and placed the food on the table. When she heard the tractor and Little Tiger’s cries, she smiled and quickly walked out of the door. “Your timing is just right. You three don’t have to go back. I thought that you guys probably wouldn’t be able to eat until very late if you guys returned home to cook, so I cooked your portions. Come in and eat!”
Xiao Sheng didn’t refuse when he heard this. Everyone was quite familiar with each other, so he didn’t say those pleasantries. However, he still had to return the favor. “Then we won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll get Xiao Lin to bring the rice and vegetables over later.”
Xiao Li also smiled and said, “I can help wash the dishes!”
Jiang Chun accepted this suggestion happily. Then, she put her arm around Xiao Li’s shoulder and brought her into the house as she said with a smile, “Alright! With your help, I can quit after eating.”
Previously, Yu Bing had specifically told Jiang Chun that people with disabilities often cared a lot about other people differentiating them from ordinary people. Therefore, if Xiao Li wanted to show off, she should not stop her. If she kept acting worried that Xiao Li wouldn’t be able to complete it, it would only make Xiao Li feel even more insecure.
Jiang Chun cooked steamed grass carp with chopped peppers, tomatoes and scrambled eggs, tofu with onions, stir-fried zucchini, and vegetable soup. The few of them finished their meal with relish.
After sending the Xiao family’s three siblings away, Yu Bing asked Jiang Chun about the situation in the factory for the past two weeks. Previously, there were many things that she couldn’t explain over the phone. Although Yu Bing was in S City, she had been worrying about the matters over here.
Jiang Chun looked at Yu Bing helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. You worry too much. When you weren’t in the factory, Feng Cai went to City Z and got two companies’ employee benefits orders for next month.”
Yu Bing praised with a smile, “Not bad. You guys don’t need anyone to urge you guys to work. You’re all good employees!”
Then, she asked, “Have they mastered how to use the machine? Is it handy?”
Jiang Chun could only continue to report, “The workers are all familiar with it now. With the machine, the efficiency will increase exponentially!”
Yu Bing nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, did you get a cat for the warehouse?”
Jiang Chun paused. “Um… I bought a bag of rat poison. It’s very useful. After rats eat it, they’ll be thirsty and run out to find water to drink. Once they drink water, that poison produces toxins, so there’s not a single rat in the warehouse now.”
