Chapter 197: What Else Would I Be Looking At If Not Documents?

When he had captured the wrong soul, Hei Wuchang had promised Lin Xiangnan that he would never let her suffer any hardship in this life and that she would live in peace and safety until old age.

And indeed, although there were many messy things in the Lin family, they were fundamentally good, with three generations of ancestors who were either poor peasants or workers. In this era, this identity was stronger than anything else.

Even leaders were not as stable as workers.

Although Lin Xiangnan felt in her heart that Gu Zhenhua would not be in danger, she couldn’t help but worry.

“You know you might be busy in the next few days, and you don’t even care about your own health.” Lin Xiangnan used hot water to make a cup of cold medicine and handed it to Gu Zhenhua. “Drink it quickly.”

Lin Xiangnan’s tone was harsh, Gu Zhenhua glanced at her expression and didn’t dare say much, obediently drinking the medicine.

After finishing the medicine, he hugged Lin Xiangnan and coaxed her, “Don’t be angry. I just miss you and wanted to see you.”

Lin Xiangnan snorted, couldn’t help but rub his face fiercely, and urged, “Be careful when you’re out alone.”

“Yes, I know.” Gu Zhenhua said, “I’m not some reckless young man, I have my limits.”

While worried, Lin Xiangnan wouldn’t keep Gu Zhenhua in the room sighing, instead pulling him to the entertainment room to play and relax.

“Can you dance?” Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, “Should we go dance?”

Gu Zhenhua humbly said, “A little.”

Dance halls and nightclubs were the favorite places for young people in the factory, and they brought together many couples.

Lin Xiangnan was young and fashionable, and you couldn’t tell she was married.

This time she brought Gu Zhenhua here, shocking many people, and everyone looked at Gu Zhenhua with suggestive glances.

When he received these looks, Gu Zhenhua knew he had come to the right place. He kept a cold face and used his eyes to warn many young people.

They couldn’t be close outside, so Lin Xiangnan poked his back, “Why are you making a face? Not fun?”

“Smiling affects my rebellious aura, making me less intimidating.” Gu Zhenhua said in a low voice.

Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but laugh, “Who are you threatening? I’m just here to join the fun at the dance hall, I don’t know the people here.”

“Doesn’t matter. Just threaten them first.” Gu Zhenhua’s expression didn’t change.

The weather was bad these days, sometimes the rain was heavy, and the sky was dark. Lin Xiangnan didn’t dare keep Gu Zhenhua for long, seeing that it was almost time, she sent him back.

Although wearing raincoats and rain boots, raindrops still hit his face when he rode his bike.

When Gu Zhenhua got home, his clothes were half wet.

Seeing him, Hu Meili asked, “How is Xiao Nan? Nothing wrong?”

“Nothing. She’s fine.”

“Is she working these days?” Hu Meili continued to ask.

Gu Zhenhua was stunned, “I forgot to ask.”

In such bad weather, when living in the family housing area, Lin Xiangnan would definitely not be willing to get up early for work, but now she lives in the factory dormitory, and the commute is only two minutes.

She could force herself to go to work.

“Did you tell Xiao Nan about your mission?” Hu Meili continued to ask.

“I did.” Gu Zhenhua said calmly, “Xiao Nan needs to know about things at home.”

The necessary words had already been said, Hu Meili nodded and quickly went to help Gu Zhenhua boil water.

This was a military mission, and since he wore this uniform, there were some things he couldn’t avoid.

Hu Meili just hoped that after Lin Xiangnan knew about things at home, she would focus more on her work.

Of course, she didn’t want Gu Zhenhua to be in danger. But if Gu Zhenhua did happen to be in danger, the salary Lin Xiangnan was currently earning by slacking off wouldn’t be enough for the family.

There were now two children in the family, and not much savings.

“That heartless Lin Xiangnan. I’m the one who’s been worrying about her.”

After finishing her work, Hu Meili went back to her room to secretly pray, “Please, Buddha, let the rain stop…”

Of course, prayer was useless. The rain continued to fall intermittently, without any sunshine, so the predicted flood came.

Worried about Gu Zhenhua’s safety, Lin Xiangnan’s face was black all day.

Even when Jin Baoguang praised her, he had to watch her expression, “You’re really fast, you found a solution in just a few days.”

Because of her intelligence, Lin Xiangnan had a strong ability to learn by herself. As long as she had a little idea, she could learn on the fly and solve the problem.

She had finally overcome a new challenge, and Lin Xiangnan should have been excited, but now she couldn’t be happy.

Hearing Jin Baoguang’s nonsense, she couldn’t help but frown and ‘tsk’ a sound.

Visible impatience.

Hearing this tone, Jin Baoguang quickly said, “You’ve been tired lately. I won’t assign you any tasks for now, just assist Sun Yi. You’re old partners, I won’t say much.”

“Got it.” Lin Xiangnan nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing her like that, Jin Baoguang couldn’t help but frown and curse at the window, “You damn rain, you just keep falling. You’re falling at the worst time. I’ve lost another good soldier.”

Jin Baoguang wasn’t ignorant, and he had good connections. He knew that Gu Zhenhua and the others were on the front line of flood control.

With their family’s lives hanging in the balance, it was no wonder Lin Xiangnan couldn’t focus on her work.

With Lin Xiangnan’s temper, Jin Baoguang was already grateful that she was still working, and wouldn’t dare to criticize whether she was doing much or little.

If he dared to criticize, Lin Xiangnan would dare to flip the table and quit.

Not to mention Lin Xiangnan, the whole factory’s atmosphere was restless.

After all, it was an important factory, and the location was carefully chosen during construction. The flood shouldn’t reach here, but looking at the news in the newspapers, everyone couldn’t help but worry.

Sun Yi never competed with Lin Xiangnan for the daily newspaper, always letting her read it first before taking it over.

“The rain stopped today, I wonder if the flood has receded.” Sun Yi looked for flood-related news in the newspaper.

Lin Xiangnan was listless, “Definitely not. If Gu Zhenhua and the others came back, they would have called our office. I told him to do that in advance.”

“I know you’re worried… huh?” Sun Yi originally wanted to comfort her, but seeing Lin Xiangnan flipping through the documents in her hand again, he couldn’t help but stare at her for a few seconds and asked in surprise, “Were you actually reading the documents just now?”

“I finished reading today’s newspaper, what else would I be looking at if not documents?” Lin Xiangnan said dejectedly, “I don’t have anything else to look at.”

Sun Yi continued to comfort her verbally, but secretly placed two more documents on Lin Xiangnan’s desk.
