Chapter 317: Chapter 317: He Misses His Wife
"Uh..."
Lin Chuxia had indeed considered that, and she could understand.
Without any substantial incident, it was usually minor punishment as a major warning, which won’t hurt the bones but serves to sound an alarm.
However, after this incident, the Old Food Factory would have to think twice before taking on Xiyang Food Factory again.
After talking about the food factory, Lin Chuxia’s eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Qin Yang, "Why have you come back now? Is it because there’s a result regarding the job transfer?"
Qin Yang’s expression softened a bit, "Yes, I’ve returned this time for reporting in. I planned to first come home to see, then report to the unit. After spending Mid-Autumn Festival at home, I’ll start working at the new unit."
The main thing was to come back and inform his wife to get ready, so she could move to the city with him.
Lin Chuxia’s smile on her face became brighter and more charming, "Oh right, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten it’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival. After the festival, I’ll arrange the company’s affairs and then go to the city to find you."
"Okay."
Qin Yang couldn’t take his eyes off her brows and eyes; he missed his wife.
Yet, looking at his wife busy with work all day long, she probably didn’t have time to think about him.
But thinking about living together in the future and being able to see each other every day filled Qin Yang with great satisfaction.
When they returned home, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were slaughtering a chicken. With the food factory conflict resolved and with Qin Yang’s return, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin felt they needed to celebrate.
Seeing the pair enter the house together, Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "Tonight I’ll make the chicken stew with mushrooms that Xiaxia likes to eat. Do you have any other requests? Tell me, and I’ll go buy groceries."
Mr. Qin wanted to ask about the food factory matter but was stopped by Mrs. Qin.
"The kids have been busy all day, let them go back to the room and rest first. Everything’s resolved in the end. You can ask later."
Then, she eagerly looked at the two, waiting for them to say what they wanted to eat.
Lin Chuxia looked towards Qin Yang, "I’m okay with anything, what do you want to eat?"
Qin Yang wasn’t particularly picky about food. Moreover, his mother’s cooking was just so-so. He was keener on eating what his wife cooked.
But thinking his wife must have been overwhelmed these days, and considering they would live together and he could eat her cooking every day, there was no rush.
So he said, "Mom, you decide. I’m good with anything."
Mrs. Qin was not pleased, "What do you mean, anything is fine? How am I supposed to do the grocery shopping?"
"How about braised pork?"
Lin Chuxia knew that Qin Yang loved braised pork, and besides, who didn’t love it nowadays?
"That works."
Now Mrs. Qin was satisfied.
A fluffy touch brushed against his thigh, and there was Yuan Bao, wedging in between the two with its stainless steel food bowl, looking up at Qin Yang with a face full of expectation.
Qin Yang, when he had just come back, was enthusiastically circled by Yuan Bao, who after a couple of rounds, ran back to its kennel.
Because he was so eager to find Lin Chuxia, he hadn’t even pet Yuan Bao.
Seeing Yuan Bao now, he reassuringly rubbed the dog’s head, "Yuan Bao."
After patting the dog’s head, he looked towards Lin Chuxia again, "Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the room and rest?"
Before Lin Chuxia could reply, Yuan Bao squeezed in between them again and nudged, pushing its stainless steel bowl across the floor toward Qin Yang.
Qin Yang glanced at the half-plucked chicken that his parents were handling, and as if by telepathy understood, "Yuan Bao, we can’t eat this chicken now. Wait until it’s cooked, and the chicken feet are yours."
Yuan Bao seemed dissatisfied, snorting and shaking its head, then it pushed its food bowl toward Qin Yang, right up to his feet.
Qin Yang had no choice but to negotiate with it, "How about I give you a raw chicken head to eat?"
Lin Chuxia was almost laughing herself rich. Yuan Bao wasn’t wanting to eat chicken at all, it clearly wanted Qin Yang to notice its award.
Afraid that the misunderstanding would continue and that Yuan Bao would hold a grudge against Qin Yang.
She tugged at his sleeve, and Qin Yang looked over, puzzled.
At this point, he truly didn’t understand what Yuan Bao was up to.
Lin Chuxia pointed at her chin, "That’s the award from the police station for Yuan Bao. It helped the police solve a case, so they made this specially for it."
Qin Yang suddenly realized, squatting down to hug Yuan Bao’s head and spoke with a very exaggerated tone, "Is that so, Yuan Bao? You’re truly amazing, truly a hero."
At that moment, he also realized what pet’s food bowl was this brand-new stainless steel one, with the word "Hero" engraved on it.
Even if his wife was great at making money, she surely hadn’t been this extravagant before.
So, it turns out that Yuan Bao had won it itself.
Now that the male master finally understood, Yuan Bao wagged its tail and carried its food bowl, turning around twice on the spot.
Lin Chuxia: "..."
Qin Yang: "..."
The two were shooed back to their room by Mrs. Qin to rest. Noticing the luggage on the floor, Lin Chuxia asked casually, "You said you’re coming back this time to report to the city, when is your report due? Are you going before or after the Mid-Autumn Festival? It seems like Mid-Autumn is just four or five days away."
After prattling on for a while without hearing the man behind her reply, Lin Chuxia turned her head to see him looking at her with deep, lingering eyes.
"What’s wrong?"
Lin Chuxia thought Qin Yang might still be upset that she hadn’t told him about the food factory in advance and smiled as she went to pull his hand.
Qin Yang pulled her hand in turn and sat on the bed, his voice indifferent, "What’s this about Yuan Bao solving a case? Aren’t you planning to tell me the details?"
The smile at Lin Chuxia’s lips stiffened for a moment - was this man too perceptive?
She glanced up at the ceiling unconsciously, "There’s not much to say, it’s just that Yuan Bao’s sense of smell seems to be very keen. Officer Sun found it smart and borrowed it for a bit, and who knew it really helped solve a case."
"Is that really so?"
Lin Chuxia really wanted to nod and say yes when she heard the man speak again, "Then what about your title for the act of righteous bravery? I really hadn’t expected that my wife is already a hero for acts of bravery."
Lin Chuxia: "..."
Why does this sentence give me the creeps?
Lin Chuxia stood up, wrapped her arms around Qin Yang’s neck, her voice soft and sweet, "Qin Yang, I didn’t feel anything when we lived in different places in the past, but lately, when I rest by myself, I always feel lonely, I miss you so much. I’m so glad you’ll be transferred back here soon, I’m truly happy."
"Lin Chuxia," Qin Yang pulled apart Lin Chuxia’s arms, "Sugar-coated bullets don’t work on me, tell me what’s really going on?"
Heaven knows what he felt when he walked past the Bun Shop at the train station, casually picked up a newspaper, and saw the information on it.
His heart skipped a beat in that instant.
Honors for acts of bravery are supremely glorious, but for loved ones, it means that the person closest to you has faced a life or death danger.
The world admires heroes, but for family, life safety and health are the most important.
He doesn’t want Lin Chuxia to be a hero, he just wants his wife to be his only.
Knowing she couldn’t avoid it any longer, Lin Chuxia had to tell Qin Yang about the rescue of Chen Ping.
