Chapter 128 Like a Hungry Wolf
Chapter 128 Like a Hungry Wolf
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Zhao Zhengang could only choose Qiao An now. "Qiao An, this time our machine tool factory is really at a critical moment of life and death. We really have to rely on you."
Qiao An nodded solemnly, then held out her hand, "Who's going to settle today's bill?"
Zhao Zhengang: "..."
Yu Linzhou: "..."
Huo Jiyun: My wife works so hard to earn money.
When it was time to go home, Zhao Zhengang also got into the car.
He and Qiao An talked about the guide rail installer the whole way, and Huo Jiyun couldn't get a word in edgewise.
I was feeling a bit down.
Perhaps he needs to study more, otherwise he and his wife won't have anything in common to talk about.
By the time I got home, it was almost dark.
Qiao An invited Zhao Zhengang and Qi Guoqiang to stay for dinner at her home.
She cooked dozens of frozen dumplings.
During dinner, Zhao Zhengang brought up the workers' exam.
"Qiao An, you are now a specially appointed expert in our factory, but Wei Xiangjun and Xu Zhengqiang both saw you today. I'm afraid Wei Xiangjun will cause trouble for you later."
"It would be much easier if you got a certificate."
Joanne wasn't very clear about the worker ranks in the novel for that era; she only knew that the eighth-grade worker was the highest level.
"Should I take the Level 8 worker exam?" Qiao An asked.
Zhao Zhengang shook his head. "I'm a level eight worker, far inferior to you. I suggest you take the special worker certificate exam directly, which is a level higher than level eight. It's just not open to the public, and not many people know about it."
There are only about a dozen people like that in the whole country right now.
"Even if Wei Xiangjun and I couldn't pass the exam."
As Qiao An ate her dumplings, she pondered the feasibility of obtaining a special worker's certificate.
"What are the benefits of getting accepted?" Joan asked again.
Zhao Zhengang laughed, "If you pass the exam, what do you need a car for? Countless people will be eager to give you one."
Joan raised an eyebrow. "That's good! How do we test it?"
"There's an exam in March. I'll write you a letter of recommendation so you can take it in Pyeongkyo."
Pingjing is the capital of the Xia Kingdom in the novel. Qiao An has never been there before, so it would be good to go and broaden her horizons while she is taking the exam.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After seeing Zhao Zhengang and Qi Guoqiang off.
As Qiao An turned around, she found that Huo Jiyun had already gone to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Honey, do you think I should take the special worker certification exam?" Qiao An leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching Huo Jiyun's back.
"If you can take the exam, of course you should. It shows you're capable." Huo Jiyun said without hesitation.
"That's true. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can still go to Pyeongkyo for a visit."
Huo Jiyun straightened up, her expression very serious. "You will definitely pass the exam. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met."
Qiao An chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand.
After finishing their chores, they returned to the kang (heated brick bed) in the side room, where Qiao An told Huo Chen and Huo Ning a story.
Huo Fang was reviewing her lessons on the side.
Huo Jiyun, meanwhile, silently hugged the mattress and blanket.
"Dad, why did you take the mattress away?" Huo Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't Dad fix the kang (heated brick bed) in the side room? Mom and I will sleep there for a few days to see if it's sturdy and warm enough."
"Oh." Huo Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Huo Chen, on the other hand, found it a bit strange. He looked up and asked, "Dad, if you want to test how sturdy the kang (heated brick bed) is, why don't you just put those pieces of wood from outside on top?"
"If the wood is warm tomorrow, the kang (heated brick bed) will definitely be warm."
Huo Jiyun was speechless for a moment, unable to think of any rebuttal.
Qiao An found his embarrassed expression amusing.
After a few seconds, she came to Huo Jiyun's rescue, "The wooden boards can't be heated, they'll break if you put them on the kang (heated brick bed). Dad bought those with his money, we have to keep them safe."
"Oh, I see." Huo Chen seemed to understand, but not quite. "Mom and Dad, how long are you going to sleep in that room?"
Qiao An looked at Huo Jiyun, "It shouldn't take more than a few days."
She felt that Huo Jiyun's injury had just healed, and that he had been drinking too much yesterday, which was why he had been talking non-stop all night.
I estimate he'll calm down in a few days.
After putting the child to sleep, Huo Jiyun took Qiao An's hand and tiptoed to the side room.
As soon as he locked the door, Huo Jiyun stared intently at Qiao An with eyes like a wild wolf.
Before Qiao An could speak, he started to act.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Qiao An quickly called for a stop.
Huo Jiyun was a little confused. "What's wrong? You...you don't want to?"
What do you mean by that?
She did consider it, but she had only recently been reborn and was still so young; she didn't want to be a mother.
Therefore, preventative measures must be taken.
Joan took a square plastic package out of her pocket.
Huo Jiyun took it and examined it for a long time. "What is this?"
"condom."
Huo Jiyun felt as if he were holding a ball of fire in his hand, and quickly let go.
"What are you afraid of?" Joan picked it up and stuffed it back into his hand. "I don't want to get pregnant or have children right now. If you're a man, you can't hurt me just for your own enjoyment."
This was the first time Huo Jiyun had heard this theory, but he found it surprisingly reasonable.
He's happy now; he'll go back to work in the Northwest next month.
But if Joan gets pregnant, there will be no one to protect her at home in the future. She will have to take care of three children and go to work in town.
Just thinking about it makes me feel like it's not a life for a human being.
Moreover, childbirth is a very dangerous thing for women. Last time Joan gave birth, he was like a ghost, completely useless.
I still feel guilty when I think about it now; this must never happen again.
Huo Jiyun stared at the square plastic bag in his hand and asked solemnly, "How do I use this?"
Joan blushed and told him how to use a condom.
Huo Jiyun listened very attentively.
The lights in the side room went out, and Huo Jiyun had everything ready as Qiao An had instructed.
Joan began to drift at sea again.
But this time she was fully conscious, and they were not in that space.
So Joan tried her best to suppress it and control herself from shouting.
Only when she reached the highest point of the wave did she utter a few broken murmurs.
But Huo Jiyun quickly covered his mouth with hers.
All night long, the water in the enamel mug by the bedside kept going up and down.
However, the biggest surprise of the night was Huo Jiyun.
Under Joanne's guidance, he unlocked many moves he was unaware of before.
Each breakthrough brought him a completely new experience, a feeling that captivated him.
For him, Joan was like a treasure trove that could never be fully explored.
The morning light, carrying a chill, seeped in through the cracks in the window, and Joan lifted her heavy eyelids.
She was held in Huo Jiyun's arms, and the two snuggled close together.
Huo Jiyun's heart was pounding strongly behind her.
Joan regretted it.
She underestimated Huo Jiyun's physical strength and his learning ability.
Yesterday, Joan just felt that one position was too tiring and wanted to change it.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jiyun applied what he learned to other situations and even started exploring them.
Joan is now experiencing aches and pains all over her body.
No, I absolutely cannot let Huo Jiyun touch her tonight.
This man is like a ravenous wolf; the moment he gets into bed with her, he wants to devour her alive.
too frightening.
Lost in thought, Joan fell asleep again.
When Huo Jiyun woke up, he saw Qiao An lying on her side with her face still a little red.
The marks he left on my neck yesterday were still there.
