Zhao Xuemei's sudden appearance surprised Wu Zhangbing very much.

I saw Zhao Xuemei wearing a thick coat, with a scarf around her neck and some unwoven snowflakes on her hair, and her face was very pale. She probably stood downstairs for some time.

"Xuemei, hurry up and follow me into the house. It's too cold outside and the room is warm." Wu Zhangbing was worried that Zhao Xuemei would be frozen.

"No need, I want to explain some things to you clearly, so I'll say it here." Zhao Xuemei's expression was as arrogant and indifferent as ever.

Seeing Zhao Xuemei's expression, Wu Zhangbing felt a chill in his heart, as if he had already felt what Zhao Xuemei would say next.

"My dad has come to you, right?"

"Yes, I just had a meal together, and now he and your elder brother have gone back." Speaking of Zhao Dashun, Wu Zhangbing said, "Your father still cares about you very much."

"He is a bastard, and he will always care about himself."

"Xuemei, it's not good to say that your father..."

Zhao Xuemei sneered: "What did he say to you? Did you pat your chest and promise that you will do your best to help match us together?"

Wu Zhangbing didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed.

"What he cares about is not who I am with. But he knows that you are the director of the credit union and thinks that he can get along with you, and his family will have reached a high point from now on."

"Xuemei, are there any misunderstandings here? I don't think my uncle is like the kind of person you said."

"I will say that to my father and my brother. I would like to remind you that no matter what excuse he uses to borrow money from you, it is best to do business."

Wu Zhangbing felt a little surprised, and did not expect that the relationship between Zhao Xuemei and her family would be so bad.

In fact, when I was at the dinner table just now, Wu Zhangbing vaguely felt that Zhao Dashun had some problems, but he couldn't say it too much.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Since you've all been downstairs, you'd better go up and have a hot tea."

"Director Wu, thank you for your kindness. There is no need to drink tea. I have said everything I should say, and now I should leave too."

After saying this, Zhao Xuemei did not stop downstairs and left in the wind and snow.

Wu Zhangbing looked at Zhao Xuemei's departure back, and the beautiful figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that emotional matters are really unforced. Wu Zhangbing likes Zhao Xuemei, but Zhao Xuemei doesn't have any feelings for him.

...

As the Chinese New Year is getting closer, the rice noodle factory is also preparing to stop work and take holidays.

On that day, Li Shaoan gathered everyone and made a summary speech over the past year.

Everyone gathered together and listened carefully to Li Shaoan summarizing his work over the past six months and looking forward to the future of the rice noodle factory next year.

The rice noodle factory now includes him, with a total of five employees. Since the boiler incident, it has been shut down for a while, and later it has struggled to maintain the operation of the factory by relying on the small boiler he secretly got.

Later, by selling dry noodles to surrounding townships, the rice noodle factory improved slightly.

On the surface, a rice noodle factory was opened, and Li Shaoan, the director, was very glorious. In fact, only Li Shaoan himself knew what the rice noodle factory was like.

When Li Shaoan finished speaking, he took out the red envelope that had been prepared from the drawer and stuffed one into each person's hand.

"Everyone is busy with me, thank you for your hard work. The New Year is coming soon. This is the care given to everyone by the factory. I hope everyone can have a good New Year."

When I touched the thick red envelope, the money inside would not be less.

Zhang Jinkui and Huang Xiang took the red envelopes and bowed to Li Shaoan to thank him.

Wang Fang even smiled and said softly: "Boss, you are so nice to us!"

Li Shaoan smiled and said, "There is nothing else to do now. Clean what needs to be cleaned, sort out what needs to be organized, and after tidying up the factory, it will be on holiday."

Huang Xiang suddenly said, "Manager, can Jinkui and I stay in the factory?"

Li Shaoan asked, "Don't you go home for the New Year?"

Huang Xiang said a little embarrassedly: "We just ran out of the village to make a living. Now the rice noodle factory is our home, and we want to stay."

Li Shaoan thought that during the Chinese New Year, he had to arrange personnel to be on duty in the factory to prevent thieves or something from coming in. If Zhang Jinkui and Huang Xiang could stay, it would be a good solution.

"That's fine. Then I'll calculate your salary these days. I'll trouble you both in the supervision and maintenance of the factory."

"Manager, we don't need salary. I'm grateful for you if you can let us stay."

Facing the simplicity of Zhang Jinkui and Huang Xiang, Li Shaoan was very moved. It was a blessing that the rice noodle factory could get the couple.

After arranging the holiday, everyone started to do a big cleaning. When they thought that the holiday was about to be held for the New Year, everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

As a member of the rice noodle factory, Li Shaoan naturally could not stand by and follow everyone to make hygiene.

During the break, Li Shaoan couldn't help but smile from the heart when he stopped and looked at everyone's enthusiasm.

This small rice noodle factory has long become a big family, and every employee has long become a member of this big family.

After so many ups and downs, the rice noodle factory is still firmly here, relying on everyone's concerted efforts, thinking in one direction, and working in the same direction.

Although there are many problems subjectively and objectively, it is not without hope, which is exactly the same as the saying: the road is tortuous and the future is bright.

...

After several consecutive days of sleet, the sky finally cleared.

There are faint white clouds floating above the blue sky, and the bright sunshine shines on the ground. Although it is a bit dazzling, it is not vicious at all, but it is particularly warm.

The winters in Nanxiang are mostly cloudy, rainy, wet and cold, and it is rare to have such good weather. The thin snow on the mountain road is melted by the sun, and the mountain road is no longer slippery and dangerous.

Before the next wave of cold air arrives, Li Shaoan must take Zhao Xuemei into the mountain quickly, otherwise the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow and will have to walk in.

On that day, Li Shaoan rode a tricycle to Zhao Xuemei's residence.

As soon as I arrived, I parked my car in the yard, and saw that the door was open and Zhao Xuemei was busy in the room.

Seeing Li Shaoan coming, Zhao Xuemei was very happy and waved to her, "Come and help me quickly."

Li Shaoan got out of the car and walked into the house. He was shocked. There were large and small bags of things piled up on the table and chairs.

"My God, why did I do so much?"

"The first time I'm going home with you, I can't just go empty-handed." Zhao Xuemei smiled and said, "I think my elder brother and sister-in-law live in the mountains. It's not easy to buy New Year's goods. I've bought everything I should buy."

Li Shaoan felt a warm current passing by in his heart. He held Zhao Xuemei's hand, not knowing what to say.

When Li Shaoan brought all these things into the car, Zhao Xuemei walked down from the second floor and changed into a snow-white cotton coat. She couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes and came to Li Shaoan with a brisk step.

"How about it, will I be a little too plain to wear this dress?"

Zhao Xuemei walked around in front of Li Shaoan. She bought this dress specially to go to Li Shaoan's house. She had never taken it out to wear it before. This was the first time she had changed it.

A white dress sets off the fair skin on his neck, and Zhao Xuemei's natural cold temperament gives people the feeling of a cold plum blossom blooming in the heavy snow.

Li Shaoan could see it for a moment and muttered something:

Several plum branches in the corner of the wall bloom alone in the cold.

I know it is not snow, but because there is a faint fragrance.

"What are you muttering about? Let's leave soon!"

Zhao Xuemei had already gotten into the car. When she heard Li Shaoan's praise, two red clouds could not help but fly on her cheeks.
