After parking the car, Yang Jun was walking towards the stairs with Meimei's shoulder on one hand, when he suddenly had a strange feeling - as if someone was following him.

While going up the stairs, he suddenly turned back to check.

Not far away, the young man who had blocked the road at the factory that night was hiding in a corner, his eyes bloodshot and his look gloomy.

Realizing that he had been exposed, the young man immediately retracted his head and disappeared.

Yang Jun realized that being the focus of so much attention was definitely not a good thing, so he decided to investigate thoroughly during this busy period of time to find out the intentions behind this young man.

Just as he stepped onto the second floor staircase platform, a group of people came down from the third floor, and Yang Jun quickly took shelter aside.

Someone asked: "Yang Jun, who is she?"

Yang Jun looked up and saw Yi Qiu Shui standing in front of him, with his familiar team behind him.

The leader was the elder whom I met at the evening banquet in the villa.

Faced with this scene, Yang Jun felt mixed emotions.

Meimei is indeed a beautiful girl, but compared to the rational and moving Yi Qiu Shui, her image may cause some misunderstandings.

Because at this moment he was holding her shoulders.

There are many ways to deal with misunderstandings. There is a way that can not only save the emotional face of both parties, but also eliminate misunderstandings.

Yang said to Meimei, "Meimei, this is your sister-in-law."

Meimei was startled when she heard this, and looked at the girl who was more outstanding than herself. Then she understood the situation, smiled brightly, and respectfully called out, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Yi Qiu Shui looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a puzzled look, and recalled Meimei that Yang Jun had mentioned.

After looking carefully, she found that the woman in front of her had surprisingly similar eyebrows and eyes to Yang Jun.

Sighing at the strong genes of the Yang family, Yi Qiushui walked forward, shook Meimei's hand, and said enthusiastically:

"You must be Meimei, right? My brother often mentions you, saying that you are smart and capable."

Meimei was a little shy after being praised, and responded: "Brother always says something excessive, sister-in-law, you are the most beautiful I have ever seen."

The two then began to talk quietly aside.

At this time, an elderly man wearing glasses came over to check, examined Yang Jun's right leg, then bent down and lifted up his trouser leg.

Everyone screamed in surprise and stepped back.

There was a scar on Yang Jun's leg that was as big as a ravine, extending from the knee to the thigh. The wound was still bright and looked as if it had just healed, which was shocking.

The old man with glasses helped Yang Jun put down his trouser legs, then looked at him deeply and said, "Is this the mark left after your last mission?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from these seniors who were familiar with the files, Yang Jun answered truthfully: "Yes, sir."

Having received his approval, the elder nodded with satisfaction, and his hunched back suddenly straightened up, and he saluted Yang Jun in a standard manner.

Seeing this, despite the severe pain in his right leg, Yang Jun quickly straightened his legs and responded with a firm and powerful military salute: "You are the real hero!"

The senior took his salute and a warm smile appeared on his face, "Okay, we don't have to flatter each other anymore.

You are called a hero, and that is a well-deserved honor.

I am already this old, and I have worked hard all my life but have not received a first-class merit, but you have received two (first-class merits).”

With emotion, the senior turned to Yang Jianguo, the factory director, and said, "Xiao Yang, I'll leave Qiu Shui to you.

You have to take care of her like your own sister. If I knew that she had been wronged, I, an old man, would have no way to get along with you."

After hearing this, Yang Jianguo quickly promised: "Don't worry, I will treat Comrade Yi Qiushui with all my heart and will never let her feel uncomfortable."

Li Huaide at the side also smiled and expressed his support to him on behalf of the entire steel plant management. "We also promise that we will ensure that Yi Qiushui will not suffer any injustice."

Hearing his senior's nickname for Yang Jianguo, "Xiao Yang", Yang Jun recalled the plot in the TV series and realized that Jianguo's backer should be the superior of "Sha Zhu" who is good at cooking.

He looked at the elder carefully and felt that he seemed to have seen this old man's face somewhere before, and he vaguely looked similar to the one on TV.

After careful confirmation, it was indeed him.

At this moment, Yang Jun understood why the senior brought Yi Qiu Shui to the steel plant. It turned out that she was from the senior's territory.

-----------------------------------

Director Yang personally led Yi Qiu Shui to report to the medical department.

With some help and his degree and professional background from a prestigious university, Yi Qiu Shui naturally became the new head of the Medical Department and enjoyed the same treatment as Yang Jun - a monthly salary of 87.5 yuan.

As for the housing issue, Yi Qiu Shui is temporarily living in the home of an old veteran in the military family compound.

As soon as he returned to the office, Yang Jun put his injured leg on the desk and tried his best to relieve the pain.

A fierce battle last night caused his old wound to relapse, and the pain was as unbearable as a broken bone. The cold wind penetrated deep into his bones, making him feel heartbroken.

Not long after, Deputy Director Li arrived.

Seeing Yang Jun preparing to stand up to greet him, he quickly stopped him.

He first comforted her, and then inquired about Yi Qiu Shui's relationship with him in a roundabout way.

Faced with Deputy Director Li's curiosity, Yang Jun did not deliberately keep it secret and directly informed him of all the circumstances.

The purpose was just to tell Li Huaide that Yi Qiu Shui was backed by a group of senior forces whom he could not challenge, and he hoped that he would not have any unnecessary fantasies.

More than half an hour later, Li Huaide left.

Checking the time, Yang Jun told Yang Mei, "Go to the cafeteria and ask Sha Zhu to personally cook a few dishes for you."

He pointed to the banknotes and porcelain jar on the table and said.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is so pretty." After taking the money and property, Yang Mei said with envy, "I'm so envious. You and your wife are both cadres, and your monthly salary is nearly 200 yuan. You eat white steamed buns and big pieces of meat every day, and you can't spend it all.

Oh, how enviable. "

Yangmei's expression looked a little gloomy.

"It's not that easy, and besides...that's it, I'm going to get the food."

Looking at Yang Mei's leaving figure, Yang Jun felt emotional and sensed a hint of pessimism about future life from her words.

Yang Mei is not young anymore. She will be 23 years old next year. Her friends of the same age have already got married.

If they hadn't considered this family, perhaps they would have had children long ago.

Feeling that Yang Mei might have something hidden in her heart, Yang Jun decided to find time to have a deep talk with her.

An hour later, the dishes that Yangmei brought from the cafeteria were placed on the table.

Yang Jun understood that when there was no guest reception, the canteen would generally not prepare extra ingredients.

And these three things are definitely the result of Sha Zhu's secret efforts during the collective meals.

As soon as the dishes were laid out, Yi Qiu Shui walked in.

Seeing this, Yang Mei took the initiative to make room for them and went back to the cafeteria to eat alone.

Yi Qiu Shui refilled Yang Jun's cup with water, and the two began to eat.

Looking at Yang Jun's injured leg leaning against the sofa, Yi Qiushui said with concern and apology:

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that you got hurt."

Yang Jun pretended to be nonchalant and responded: "What does it have to do with me? As long as the weather changes, my legs will not obey me. I think it will snow again."

Yi Qiu Shui knew that Yang Jun said this intentionally, and she gently stroked his cheek with a chuckle.

Yang Jun asked: "How do you feel about your first day at your new job?"

"Everything is going quite well. The working environment here is much more relaxed, not as busy as in the hospital... However, the deputy chief of the Medical Department, Zhang Daoquan, is not very friendly to me." Yi Qiu Shui answered while holding chopsticks, recalling his feelings in the morning.

"Hehe, you're in his way.

Don't worry about it. If he interferes with your work, just kick him out."

Before Yi Qiu Shui came, the Medical Department already had a chief and a deputy chief. Mr. Lin, the original chief, chose to retire after the new employee took office.

Mr. Lin is old and in poor health, so he does not reject this decision.

The former deputy section chief Zhang Daoquan was in his forties. He had hoped that he would be promoted to the position after Mr. Lin retired, but the arrival of Yi Qiu Shui shattered his dream.

What's more, Yi Qiu graduated from an excellent school with strong professional qualities, so Zhang Daoquan also believed that he had no chance of becoming the section chief.

So naturally the look he showed to Yi Qiu Shui was not very good.

Yi Qiushui pinched his earlobe with her fingers, massaging it slowly with her thumb and index finger, and scolded him in a delicate voice: "Don't let him leave so easily. Without this job, how can the whole family survive?"

"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let him leave. I should have let him clean the toilets." Yang Jun quickly admitted his mistake.

Yi Qiu Shui is kind by nature and doesn't want to trouble others because of his own affairs.

When she was in the hospital before, she would work overtime silently no matter how hard it was. If Yang Jun had not requested a transfer, those seniors would not have been dragged into this chaos.

"That's good."

When Yi Qiu Shui was enjoying the food, she suddenly stopped, her face flushed slightly, as if she had something on her mind.

After taking a deep breath, he mustered up his courage and whispered to Yang Jun:

“Now we can talk about moving to the next stage.”

"What? Which stage are you talking about?" Yang Jun, who was immersed in eating, didn't react for a moment.

Hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui's face turned even redder. Seeing his confused expression, she poked his chest lightly with the back of her hand a few times in displeasure.

"Just... let's talk about the next step."

"Yeah, I understand." Yang Jun woke up as if from a dream.

Driven by excitement, Yang Jun suddenly stood up to move his injured leg, but had to sit down quickly, frowning and smiling:

"Could it be... time to propose marriage?"

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said with a hint of anger: "My parents must meet, but my uncles hope to settle the matter before the New Year, so that the wedding can be held early next year."

"Wow, so urgent?"

Yang Jun was surprised to hear the speed. He originally thought that proposing marriage was just the first step. He never expected that Yi Qiu Shui would go straight to the final stage - getting engaged before the New Year and getting married after the New Year.

It's too hasty.

Yi Qiushui pretended to be angry and said, "You don't want to?"

"I am willing. If I don't agree, would I still be considered to have a brain?" Yang Jun argued.

Yi Qiushui examined Yang Jun and said, "Last night, the elders in our family discussed our marriage until the early morning. They all thought that the sooner the better... Besides, we are all grown up and we can't waste time."

When Yi Qiu Shui finished speaking, her cheeks flushed like apples and her voice gradually became softer until it was barely audible.

It seemed that she wanted to convey the conclusion of her uncles' discussion, which probably also included her selfish motives.

The little girl may be eager to marry someone here as soon as possible.

No matter how open-minded women are, they cannot escape the shackles of traditional female thinking.

They may be obsessed with certain things, but they are also flesh-and-blood individuals who are often influenced by social opinions.

-----------------------

Just as Yi Qiu Shui said, they are indeed not young anymore, and it is a fact that they are over the marriageable age.

It doesn't matter if a man gets married later, but once a woman crosses this threshold, she will always be surrounded by gossip about others, and even prepare excuses for her unmarried life in advance.

In this world, no one can stay out of it.

The same is true for Yi Qiushui.

"Well, that's great, it's exactly what I was thinking, I really hope you can become a member of the family as soon as possible.

"

Looking at her expression, Yang Jun was very happy.

Of course, he hoped that Yi Qiu Shui could get started as soon as possible.

Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can. We only have about 20,000 to 10,000 days to live. If you spend those days with the woman you love, the regrets in your life will be reduced accordingly.

“Disgusting.

"Yi Qiushui responded with the shy little woman's attitude.

At that moment, Yi Qiushui's calm side made Yang Jun discover that in addition to her rationality, she also had an emotional side.

A woman should not always be sad. The bright sunshine and happiness in life should fill her life. This is the true value of life.

After dinner, Yi Qiu Shui returned to the clinic to work.

Yang Jun moved a stool and placed it next to the heater to keep warm. Soon after he put his legs on it, he felt much more comfortable.
