Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 131 Lan Qimei's Secret
"Crack, click."

After talking with Xu Jichang, Lan Qimei picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables on the chopping board, the scenes from the previous time with him still appeared in her mind from time to time.

Cut the vegetables, light the fire, pour the oil, boil the pot, and put the vegetables into the pot.

Lan Qimei held a large spoon and started to stir fry in the pot.

This spoon is used for cooking large pots of vegetables, and it hits a lot compared to ordinary spoons, Lan Qimei struggled to hold it.

However, after a short period of adaptation, Lan Qimei finally managed to master the spoon, resumed her skillful stir-frying movements in the past, and entered the state.

After a while, the two vegetarian dishes were ready, and Lan Qimei brought the dishes to Xu Jichang and the others, asking them to taste them.

The leaders of the logistics department each took a chopstick dish and were very satisfied after tasting it.

"The taste is very good, and the heat is well controlled."

"That's right, she's much better than Yu Xianglian, and she's the best chef I've ever seen."

"This lesbian cooks very well. I think we can recruit her."

The people in the logistics department were full of praise. After hearing this, Lan Qimei had a happy smile on her face and turned her attention to Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang also smiled slightly, and nodded to her to show his approval.

Next to it, the leaders of the logistics department exchanged opinions, and finally agreed to recruit Lan Qimei, whose rank is tenth-level cook, and the post is the chef of the cafeteria.

At present, cooks are relatively well-paid jobs. Even the tenth-level cooks who are just starting out have a basic salary of 30 yuan a month.

Adding in the two yuan subsidy for the position of chef, Lan Qimei can earn 32 yuan a month, which is higher than many workers who have worked for two or three years.

Before the great happiness, Lan Qimei felt overwhelmed. When Xu Jichang took her through the recruitment procedures, she still couldn't believe that all this was true.

"More than 30 yuan a month... the cadres in our hometown commune can't get so much in a month."

In a secluded place in the factory area, Lan Qimei muttered to herself, "I'm not dreaming..."

"of course not."

Xu Jichang said, "The recruitment notice is covered with a bright red stamp."

"Well, thank you so much..."

Lan Qimei wiped her tears of gratitude and said, "After meeting you, I feel like I have come from the ground to the sky."

"Do it well, with your cooking skills, the future will get better and better."

Xu Jichang encouraged.

"Thank you for being so fond of me. I will definitely do a good job and won't embarrass you."

Lan Qimei couldn't leave her mouth open to thank her, she said with trembling red lips, "You are my savior, I will always remember your kindness."

……

The head chef is related to the meal matters of all the cadres and workers in the factory, so after completing the recruitment procedures and expressing her gratitude to Xu Jichang, Lan Qimei went directly to the cafeteria to cook.

After finishing the meals in the cafeteria, Lan Qimei hurriedly took care of two meals by herself. Seeing the off-duty time, she hurriedly left the unit, returned to Xu Jichang's house, took out the key and opened Shen Danrui's courtyard door.

After confirming that she and Shen Danrui lived together this morning, Xu Jichang led Lan Qimei to the key distribution place, and gave her the keys to the courtyard gate and Shen Danrui's house.

Entering the courtyard, Lan Qimei did not go back to Shen Danrui's room, but came to Xu Jichang's side through the door on the courtyard wall, and went into the kitchen to cook for him.

Not just talking about it, Lan Qimei will repay Xu Jichang's life-saving grace with practical actions.

She had already made up her mind that from now on, as long as Xu Jichang didn't dislike her, she would contract out the cooking for Xu Jichang's family.

Work like sweeping the floor and tidying up the house is all hers.

Just when Lan Qimei was busy, Xu Jichang had already reached the door of the house.

When he took out the key to open the door, Xu Jichang heard the sound of the kitchen, thinking that Du Xiaojing and the others were borrowing the kitchen.

But when he walked to the kitchen, he found that the person inside was Lan Qimei.

He understood that Lan Qimei wanted to repay her by cooking for herself.

"Leader, you are back."

Hearing Xu Jichang's movement, Lan Qimei turned around and said, still holding the cooking spatula in her hand.

"I said, you don't need to call the leader in private."

Xu Jichang said that he understood that Lan Qimei hadn't changed for a while.

"Sorry, I just forgot..."

Lan Qimei turned her face sideways, showing an embarrassed smile, "I'll make you the best dish later, I hope you like it."

"It doesn't have to be too complicated, you're tired of making a big pot of rice."

Xu Jichang said, turned and went back to the house.

After a while, Lan Qimei put on the apron and brought out all the cooked dishes.

Twice-cooked pork, roasted trotters, fried cabbage, fried fungus with celery.

"Why don't you try twice-cooked pork first, this is my best dish."

Lan Qimei stood at the side with her hands down, and said with gentle eyes, a little eager to get Xu Jichang's evaluation in her heart.

Xu Jichang picked up a chopstick of twice-cooked pork, and after tasting it, he thought it was very good: "It's very delicious, it's the best twice-cooked pork I've ever eaten."

"Sit down and eat too, don't be too restrained."

Lan Qimei shook her head: "I ate in the cafeteria."

"Eat some more, you come back so early, how can you have time to have a serious meal?"

Xu Jichang said.

He came home as soon as he got off work, and Lan Qimei was already cooking in the kitchen.

No matter how fast she walks, it is impossible to spare much time for eating.

Feeling Xu Jichang's concern and consideration, Lan Qimei was moved in her heart, bit her lip lightly, went outside to fill a bowl of rice, and picked up some vegetarian dishes to go to the kitchen.

"Sit down and eat."

Xu Jichang said hello.

"Okay... okay."

Lan Qimei listened to his words and obediently sat beside him, feeling her nose sore.

In the past, when she was at Chen Lie's house, she was never qualified to eat at the table. Chen Lie's mother and son always sat at the table eating white steamed buns, and she hid in the corner alone eating steamed buns.

Today Xu Jichang respects her so much, she can't help but feel flattered, and she has a lot of thoughts in her heart.

While eating, Xu Jichang asked about Lan Qimei's performance since she started working today.

As soon as this was mentioned, Lan Qimei was very happy, saying that everyone loved her food, and several colleagues in the cafeteria also praised her.

"Very good, you are standing in the unit."

Xu Jichang laughed, and asked Lan Qimei another question,
"By the way, if Chen Lie finds you later, what are you going to do?"

"I... I haven't figured it out yet."

Speaking of this, Lan Qimei shook her head and said hesitantly, "But I don't think he will come to see me in the near future."

"Because his mother is very superstitious, she always thinks that I have restrained him and wants him to stay away from me, and he especially believes in what his mother says."

"So I can at least be clean for a while."

"That's it."

Hearing what Lan Qimei said, Xu Jichang understood that she didn't intend to go back.

Thinking about it, Chen Lie even used a kitchen knife, and if he went back, he might lose his life.

"If he dares to trouble you later, you can come to our security office."

Xu Jichang thought for a while, and added while eating, "You are now an employee of our Dongfang Chemical Fertilizer Factory, and we will not sit idly by."

In these years when a couple fights, outsiders generally don't intervene, but if one of them uses a knife, it's a different matter.

Not to mention that Chen Lie was also a former criminal who was expelled from the factory for beating someone and causing an accident.

If such a person dares to threaten the on-the-job workers in the factory again, it will be justifiable for the security department to clean him up, and everyone will applaud at that time.

Beside, Lan Qimei heard Xu Jichang's promise, and she felt a sense of security in her heart: "Okay, I will tell you as soon as I encounter the situation."

Xu Jichang nodded, and picked up two chopsticks for her: "Eat some meat to supplement nutrition."

Lan Qimei said hello in a low voice, and her heart was once again surrounded by warmth.

After dinner, Lan Qimei went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Xu Jichang went back to the bedroom to sleep.

When he fell into a drowsy sleep, he felt as if there was a woman sweeping the floor beside him.

Xu Jichang reckoned that it should be Shen Danrui, so he stretched out his hand and patted the other person's buttocks.

"Ah...Jichang you..."

As soon as the applause fell, Lan Qimei's coquettish cry came from beside her ears.

Well, wrong person.

No, it seems that it can't be wrong.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

At this time, Xu Jichang saw Lan Qimei beside the bed blushing as if she was about to drip blood, holding the broom with both hands nervously and not saying a word, her eyes were on the ground and she felt embarrassed to look at him.

It's interesting to just call and not run.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, and simply hugged Lan Qimei from behind.

A slap in the face is called embarrassment and misunderstanding, and a step further is a beautiful thing.

"me……"

Compared to Xu Jichang's calmness, Lan Qimei was a little flustered, twisting her body slightly, not knowing what to do.

Xu Jichang was not in a hurry, just hugged Lan Qimei until she relaxed, then unbuttoned her coat, and moved a pair of big hands up her slender waist...

"You have a really good figure."

Xu Jichang clung to Lan Qimei's perky buttocks, and whispered in her ear, his hands resting for a moment.

"You, you...you don't say it...you're so ashamed..."

When Lan Qimei said this, she didn't use her hands to push Xu Jichang away, but covered her flushed face.

……

After a long time, Xu Jichang let go of the flushed Lan Qimei, and sat on the bedside with her.

"Your waist is really thin and soft."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around Lan Qimei's waist again, and reached into the hem of her sweater with one hand.

Lan Qimei was powerless to stop her, she put one hand on Xu Jichang's arm, and leaned against his arms powerlessly

"I... when I was not married, those... those aunts all said that I... ah... said I was a willow waist."

Speaking of this, her breathing became heavy again, thinking how could she say such embarrassing things.

In addition to being shy at this time, Lan Qimei also showed a bit of hesitation on her face, as if she was planning to say something.

After thinking and thinking, she finally whispered into Xu Jichang's ear, telling her biggest secret,

"I'm actually... Actually, I'm still a girl with yellow flowers..."

"Chen Lie's mother is so superstitious... After I got married, she repeatedly said that the life was wrong and wouldn't allow me to have sex with him. We have always had separate beds..."

Ah, there is this situation.

Xu Jichang felt astonished for a while, and then felt joyful.

It's not that the day is wrong, it's that the place is wrong. The place Lan Qimei should stay is not Chen Lie's house, but her own.

Thinking of this, he gradually increased the strength in his hands.

Lan Qimei didn't stop her, she limply leaned against his arms, whimpering from time to time.

……

That night, Xu Jichang stayed in the office and did not go home because he was on duty.

The cold wind blows hard outside the door, and there are still scattered snowflakes in the sky, and the temperature in the office is quite low.

Xu Ji often covered his body with a mattress made of wolf skin to resist the low temperature.

After being dried and tanned, this wolf fur quilt is light and comfortable to cover the body, and its warmth retention effect is particularly good, stronger than the down jackets of later generations.

Xu Jichang covered himself, and finally fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sky outside was already dawning.

After the shift was over, Xu Jichang rolled up the wolfskin mattress and walked out of the office with his arms in his arms, intending to go home and have breakfast.

The temperature in the past two days has been very low, and the snow on the road has been frozen so hard that people will make creaking sounds when they step on it.

Xu Jichang walked very slowly along the way to avoid slipping.

When he was about to go to the place where Xiao Daiyu was rescued that day, Xu Jichang saw a large group of people gathered on and off the bridge, as if something serious had happened.

When I came to the bridge, I saw that someone had fished out two corpses from the river.

The crowd of onlookers looked and feared, and whispered constantly.

"These two look like a mother and son, does anyone know them?"

"I... I know each other. They are my neighbors. The man's name is Chen Lie, and the woman's mother..."

"What's going on here? Is it a river that you can't survive?"

"No way. I heard from the salvagers that they found two wine bottles by the river. It is estimated that Chen Lie fell into the river after being drunk, and his mother also fell into the water to save him."

"I can testify to this point. I usually see Chen Lie drinking at home, and when he gets drunk, he beats his wife, and finally beats her away..."

……

Oh, Chen Lie and his mother are dead.

Xu Jichang still passed the bridge slowly, neither speeding up deliberately nor stopping.

It's just two dead people, what's there to see.

Back home, he told Lan Qimei the news.

After hearing this, Lan Qimei was surprised, but quickly calmed down: "Chen Lie's family has few relatives, and the relatives are not well-connected. No one will hold a funeral for them."

"I can see it. I beat up the leader on the first day of work. How can I have a good popularity."

Xu Jichang said, throwing the mattress on the chair in the living room.

Lan Qimei turned around and went to the kitchen to cook for him. The breakfast consisted of wolf porridge.

Because Xu Jichang had mentioned to her that wolf meat could keep out the cold, Lan Qimei thought of making this.

Soon, smoke rose from the kitchen, and the rice porridge was bubbling on the stove. Lan Qimei took out two pieces of wolf meat from the yard, thawed and chopped them into pieces and threw them into the pot.

Inside the house, Xu Jichang washed up and sat in the living room waiting for breakfast.

At this time, a shout came from outside: "Come to receive the letter, the letter from the capital, if there is no one, I will throw it in the mailbox."
