Chapter 40 Xiaoyun, Something is Wrong with You

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?"

"I..." Ye Xiaoyun calmed down and said:

"Nothing, I just have a lot of material to write these past two days, and I'm a little confused."

Hearing her say this, Lin Ping said with concern:

"Although work is important, you should also pay more attention to rest."

"Ah."

Ye Xiaoyun nodded.

Lin Ping is five or six years older than her and has been taking good care of her since she started working at the institute.

"By the way, Sister Lin."

"I just saw your Section Chief Xu looking for Jiang Bo. Do you know what it is about?"

Lin Ping smiled slyly, "Guess?"

Ye Xiaoyun gently pushed her and said, "You're here again. How could I have guessed that?"

Lin Ping restrained her smile and said,

"It's not a secret, I can tell you."

"Jiang Bo may come to work in our institute."

"What? Is this true?!"

Lin Ping nodded.

"Yes, the purchasing department."

"I heard that it was Lao Zhao who wanted this person personally, and Director Chen has already given his nod."

Ye Xiaoyun bit her lower lip.

Wouldn't that mean I could get along with Jiang Bo for a long time?

As he thought about this, the expression on his face changed.

There was a hint of surprise, and also some shyness and charm.

Lin Ping observed the changes in Ye Xiaoyun's expression:

"Xiao Yun, something's wrong with you!"

Lin Ping is almost thirty years old. She has been married and has children for a long time, so she can be considered an experienced person.

As soon as he saw Ye Xiaoyun's expression, his gossip radar immediately started to work.

"Tell me the truth, do you have any idea?"

"Sister Lin, what are you talking about!"

Ye Xiaoyun was terrified.

She looked around in panic, and was relieved when she saw that the corridor was empty with only her and Lin Ping.

Lin Ping chuckled.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"But you know what, our department takes Jiang Bo's case very seriously. Our Section Chief Xu went to handle it personally."

"The formalities will be quick, and we'll be busy with the background check. He'll be able to report in within the next two or three days."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go get busy."

Ye Xiaoyun nodded.

As soon as she turned around, Lin Ping called her from behind.

"By the way, Xiaoyun, wait for me after get off work in the evening. I'll go with you."

"I have something to ask you."

"it is good."

After Ye Xiaoyun responded, she went back to her office to work.

She was writing materials in the office and looked for Jiang Bo several times during that time.

But when he saw Jiang Bo and Section Chief Xu were still talking in the conference room, he went back.

When it was time to get off work, she and Lin Ping went together, each pushing a bicycle, and walked slowly on the road.

The two chatted all the way until they reached a fork in the road.

Lin Ping took out a patched cloth bag from her bag, handed it to Ye Xiaoyun and said.

"My mother-in-law brought some dried sweet potatoes from her hometown and asked me to bring them to you and your aunt."

Ye Xiaoyun waved her hands quickly.

"No need, Sister Lin, you guys can keep it for yourself."

"You always think of me and my mom when you have something. Your family has a lot of people and life is not easy..."

Ye Xiaoyun knew,

Lin Ping stuffed the cloth bag into Ye Xiaoyun's arms.

"Oh, there's still some at home, enough to eat."

"This is what my mother-in-law wanted, so don't be polite to me."

Ye Xiaoyun bit her lower lip and said, "Well, thank you, Sister Lin."

"Okay, go ahead."

In the courtyard of the Indigo Factory, Ye Xiaoyun walked towards her house.

There was a dim light in the room. Ye Xiaoyun pushed the door open and put the cloth bag with several patches on it on the table.

"I'm back, Xiaoyun."

Inside the room was a woman in her forties.

She looks very similar to Ye Xiaoyun, but her temperament is more gentle.

Bai Wei was born into a scholarly family, studied at Yenching University, and was also a progressive young man when he was young.

She met her classmate Ye Feng when she was in college. But later Ye Feng joined the army and participated in the revolution.

After getting married, the two of them lived a very happy life.

Bai Wei comes from a good family and has a good education.

And her husband is a police officer at the police station.

The two of them also had a lovely daughter who was as pretty as ice and snow.

just.

During the movement in the past few years, some things happened in Bai Wei's mother's family and the elders in the family suffered. Fortunately, she had married Ye Feng, so she was spared.

However, Ye Feng's work was still slightly affected, and her own work was also suspended.

Live in fear every day.

However, fate did not intend to let this poor woman off so easily.

Soon after.

Something very unfortunate happened.

During an encirclement and suppression campaign against enemy spies, Ye Feng was unfortunately hit in the heart by an enemy spy's bullet and died on the spot.

At that time, Bai Wei felt like the sky was falling.

The successive blows almost caused her spirit to collapse.

The happy life she once had is gone forever, and she and her daughter are the only ones left at home to depend on each other.

Considering her status as a martyr's survivor, the organization once considered letting her return to work. However, under the continuous blows, Bai Wei cried so much that her eyesight deteriorated severely and she could no longer work.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaoyun is very competitive.

She was still in middle school when the accident happened.

As a relative of a martyr, Ye Xiaoyun was admitted to the police academy and after graduation was assigned to work at the Xicheng Police Station where Chen Dalong worked.

Chen Dalong is Ye Feng’s old comrade-in-arms and is very caring towards the mother and daughter.

However, the experiences of the past few years still left a deep shadow in Bai Wei's heart.

Most of the time, she was in a trance.

Plus, I can’t see clearly, so doing housework is a bit difficult for me.

now.

She was fumbling to cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and put them into the porridge on the coal stove.

"Mom, be careful with your hands."

Ye Xiaoyun rushed forward in two steps at a time.

He took the kitchen knife from Bai Wei, cut it in two or three strokes, and threw it into the porridge pot.

She said with some anger and heartache:

"Mom, I've told you so many times, wait for me to come back and do these."

"Just take care of yourself at home."
