Ding! Ding!
The bells of the textile workshops rang at noon.
The workers came out of the textile room one after another.
Most of the employees rushed to the canteen.
There were also a small number of people who lived near the factory and went home to eat.
Chu Mengxi walked out of the textile room and, as usual, walked towards the cafeteria.
"Eh, Chu Mengxi, where's your lunch?”
a female employee asked.
"Ah?"
Chu Mengxi lowered her head to take a look and realized that her hands were empty.
Today was the first time she did not bring lunch.
After breakfast in the morning, Chu Mengxi wanted to bring lunch, but Li Xia stopped her.
He would prepare lunch and send it over, but he didn't allow her to eat cornbread.
Chu Mengxi did not want to trouble him. The village was quite far from the textile factory.
However, Li Xia insisted on giving it to her. Chu Mengxi could not persuade him, so she could only let him be.
"Lunch…someone will send it to you. I'll get it from the entrance. You guys go to the cafeteria first.”
Chu Mengxi was a little flustered as she turned around and walked towards the main door.
A few female employees who were familiar with Chu Mengxi looked at each other with strange expressions.
Could it be that…Chu Mengxi's husband, who was a hooligan, had come to deliver lunch to her again?
No way!
……
At the entrance.
Li Xia heard the crisp ringing of a bell.
Uncle Yang took a puff of his cigarette and said,
"Yo! It's lunchtime. Xiao Li, your wife is coming out.”
"Yes."
Li Xia nodded and looked into the factory.
After a while.
A slim and graceful figure gradually approached from the crowd.
Chu Mengxi walked towards the main entrance with a perturbed heart.
It was only when she saw the man with a faint smile on his face that she heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Mengxi was a little worried.
She was afraid that Li Xia would only act one way in front of her and another behind her back.
If he didn't bring her food, she would have to go home hungry.
If that was the case, it meant that the man was still a disappointing street punk. Nothing had changed.
Everything that happened before was just an illusion.
When Li Xia handed the net to Chu Mengxi, her anxious heart finally calmed down.
As promised, he brought lunch over.
Perhaps, he had really changed.
He became…someone she could trust and rely on.
In that case…very good.
Chu Mengxi frowned and said," The lunchbox…is so heavy."”
The heavy lunchbox shocked Chu Mengxi.
Was there a lot of food inside?
How could one person finish it?
It was not like a man's stomach had such a big appetite.
"The dishes are all freshly made and warm. I only have one request. Finish them all and don't waste them.”
Li Xia said with a gentle smile.
Uncle Yang said enviously," Chu girl, you're so lucky. Look at how much your husband dotes on you. Listen to Xiao Li and eat more! Haha!"
Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Chu Mengxi immediately blushed.
She glanced at the man and saw that his forehead was wet, and his neck and back were covered in sweat.
This meant that he had sped up on his way here.
Was he afraid that he would…starve?
Chu Mengxi's heart trembled, and she was deeply moved.
"You…you haven't eaten yet, right? Come to the cafeteria with me. I can't finish so much!”
Chu Mengxi said softly.
The two lunchboxes were heavy. They were probably filled with food.
How could he finish it?
It was really…
There was also a big bowl of eel noodles in the morning.
Li Xia was afraid that Chu Mengxi wouldn't be full, so he didn't forget to give her the eel slices in his bowl.
Chu Mengxi's stomach was full from eating breakfast.
Now, he had brought so much food over. He was…feeding himself like a pig!
Chu Mengxi could not help but roll her eyes at Li Xia.
"I won't eat. There's still a lot of food at home. When you go out, leave the two little ones to eat by themselves. I have to go back and see them. I'm a little worried.”
Li Xia explained.
Moreover, in his eyes, the food in Chu Mengxi's hands was not enough for the two of them to share.
"Don't worry about the two little fellows. They can eat by themselves. As long as they have something to eat, they won't starve themselves.”
Chu Mengxi was certain of this.
It had always been like this. The two little fellows were very obedient. As long as they said something once, they would basically remember it and do it.
Duoduo and Nuannuan didn't need to worry about eating.
"I'm just worried that they'll eat too much and burst their bellies.”
Li Xia smiled bitterly.
His culinary skills were no joke.
Otherwise, how could he make the two little fellows stick to him and like him so much in such a short period of time?!
Even her mother's status was shaken.
The main reason was the temptation of delicious food!
Chu Mengxi was speechless.
Are you full?
In Chu Mengxi's mind, the image of two gluttonous cats working hard to cook appeared.
Since that was the case, Chu Mengxi didn't waste any more time. She had to go eat. After a busy morning, she was really a little hungry.
She wondered what he was cooking in the lunch box.
……
……
Li Xia and Chu Mengxi parted ways at the entrance.
Not long after leaving the textile factory, Li Xia bumped into Yang Guiru.
Yang Guiru recognized Li Xia first. Wasn't this person the fishmonger from this morning?
"Eh, it's you. What a coincidence."
Yang Guiru greeted Li Xia.
"Hmm? Hello, what a coincidence!"
Li Xia was stunned.
He still remembered the woman in front of him. She was the last customer who came to buy fish in the morning.
"Are you an employee of this textile mill?" Li Xia asked.
"Oh, no. I'm a middle school teacher. My friend works in this factory. I came to see her. Then you…"
Yang Guiru glanced at Li Xia, not knowing what he was doing at the textile factory.
"Oh, my wife works here. I'll bring her some lunch at noon.”Li Xia said truthfully.
"Yo! Then you're so considerate!" Yang Guiru praised. Thinking about it, her husband had never sent her food once.
Yang Guiru had a new understanding of the man in front of her.
Hmm…this young man is really not bad!
Not only did he know how to do business, but he was also a good person.
Chu Mengxi would only be happy if she married such a man.
Unfortunately, the young man in front of him was married.
Otherwise, the male colleague she was going to introduce to him would not even be as good as this young man!
Li Xia didn't have time to chat with Yang Guiru. He said goodbye and continued to rush home.
……
Yang Guiru was carrying a net bag in her hand. She had brought her own cooking from home and was prepared to let Chu Mengxi taste her cooking.
She knew that Chu Mengxi ate cornbread every day.
As good sisters, her heart ached sometimes.
They were both married, but how could the difference between the two of them be so big?
She lived in a small apartment in the county town. She ate well and slept soundly every day. Her life was very comfortable.
On the other hand, Chu Mengxi could not even guarantee three basic meals a day...
In addition, she still had to raise the two children alone.
The husband of that street gangster would not care about their lives.
These days…just thinking about it was hard.
Yang Guiru shook her head. This time, she had to persuade Chu Mengxi to get a divorce.
" Chu Mengxi!"
Yang Guiru found Chu Mengxi in the canteen of the University of Industry.
Chu Mengxi had just sat down and had yet to open her lunch box when she was called out by Yang Guiru.
The two of them found a quiet place and sat down.
"Mengxi, it's been a long time since we've had a meal together.”
Yang Guiru sighed.
"It's been a long time…"
Chu Mengxi smiled.
After getting married, their lives had changed greatly.
They couldn't be together as often as before.
"Ha, you're in luck today. I made two dishes for you to try.”
Yang Guiru untied the net bag she brought and opened the lunch box. There were braised fish and cucumber slices inside.
The staple food was four steamed buns made of fine flour. They looked delicate and soft.
"How is it? Isn't it sumptuous?"
Yang Guiru smiled proudly.
Normally, she would not eat so well for every meal. Today, she mainly wanted to let Chu Mengxi have a good meal.
As a good sister, she could only do this.
After all, distant water couldn't quench immediate thirst. Yang Guiru had her own family.
