Hearing Uncle Niu's voice, Zhang Xing stopped.

He looked towards the guard room, curious about who was looking for him.

"Here, I've been waiting at the gate since dawn, saying he's your relative."

"If I hadn't discovered it early, I would have been out of the cold!"

Uncle Niu welcomed Zhang Xing into the room and pointed to the chair aside for Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing originally thought that Xu Tian or Kuang Aimin were looking for him, but it was really strange to hear Uncle Niu say that they were his relatives.

When Zhang Xing walked into the guard room, he was stunned for a moment when he saw clearly the person huddled in the chair.

"Qin Huairu?"

Qin Huairu was huddled on the chair, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand and wearing a shabby cotton coat.

"It's not cold yet, and I haven't prepared any thick clothes in this room. Fortunately, this girl doesn't mind it."

Seeing Zhang Xing recognize this woman, Uncle Niu said from the side.

Zhang Xing nodded at Uncle Niu, then walked over and looked at Qin Huairu, who was curled up and shivering on the chair.

It's autumn now, although the temperature has not dropped to the point of freezing. But in this northern morning, wearing a single coat is really uncomfortable.

"Xiao Zhang, who is this?"

Uncle Niu, who was standing aside, came over, looked at Qin Huairu, and asked Zhang Xing.

As for Zhang Xing's life experience, Uncle Niu, who is an old employee of the steel rolling mill, naturally has heard about it.

So when he heard Qin Huairu say that she was a relative of Zhang Xing, Uncle Niu immediately felt that this woman was lying.

But he saw that this woman was wearing thin clothes and was freezing outside the gate. He must have been waiting for a long time.

"This is a new employee of our farm, and he is also a relative of mine. He probably just came from the countryside and is a bit afraid of strangers."

Zhang Xing explained to Uncle Niu, groped around on his body, and took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket.

"Uncle Niu, I've caused you trouble. I'll take him away."

"Okay, okay, look at you, you are so polite to me."

Uncle Niu smiled and stretched out his hand to hand Zhang Xing the two packs of cigarettes, his eyes narrowed.

"Xiao Zhang, don't let your uncle and I see each other like this next time!"

That's what he said, but what Uncle Niu put the cigarette into his pocket completely betrayed his heart.

Zhang Xingkang just smiled at Uncle Niu's words and actions, just a few packs of the most ordinary cigarettes.

In his view, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Although people like Uncle Niu are not in high positions, they often have unexpected effects in some key positions.

Qin Huairu was wearing thin clothes, holding hot tea in her hands, and wearing a cotton coat, which finally made her feel warm.

When she saw Zhang Xing come in, her eyes lit up.

Qin Huairu was even more excited after hearing Zhang Xing say that she was an employee of the breeding farm and that she was his relative and that he wanted to take her away.

Qin Huairu stood up from the chair staggeringly, maybe because she had been curled up motionless for too long.

She stood up suddenly, her legs went weak, and she was about to fall to the ground.

"Hey, be careful!"

Zhang Xing stepped forward and supported Qin Huairu.

Feeling the thinness of Qin Huairu's clothes, Zhang Xing helped her stand firm. It took a while before her feet regained consciousness.

Zhang Xing led Qin Huairu out of the guard room and walked on the road to the factory.

Qin Huairu followed Zhang Xing and looked at the surrounding scene curiously.

This is not the first time Qin Huairu has come to the steel rolling mill, but the last time he followed He Yuzhu to the steel rolling mill to watch a movie was at night.

It was dark, there were no street lights on the road, and most of the buildings in the factory area had lights turned off, so Qin Huairu didn't see clearly what it was like inside the steel rolling mill.

After following Zhang Xing for a long distance, Qin Huairu was still immersed in the shock of the scale of the steel rolling mill.

She secretly thought to herself that if she could work in a factory like this in her life, it would really be like smoke rising from her ancestral graves.

"Section Chief Zhang!"

"Brother Xing!"

"Director Zhang!"

"Brother Zhang!"

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Zhang Xing as they passed by Zhang Xing and Qin Huairu.

According to each person's position and status, Zhang Xing is called differently.

However, regardless of his position, he was very respectful when meeting Zhang Xing.

Even Qin Huairu, who was following Zhang Xing, gave her a polite smile even though the others didn't know her identity.

This shocked Qin Huairu, who had always been following Zhang Xing and felt inferior, and suddenly felt a sense of pride and pride.

Qin Huairu looked down at her thin and shabby clothes. An inconspicuous patch on the leg of her trousers was so eye-catching.

She knew that people who worked in factories could not be so polite to a country bumpkin like her, and it was not because of Zhang Xing's influence.

Unknowingly, Qin Huairu followed Zhang Xing's pace a little faster, as if she was afraid of losing this light.

In this way, Qin Huairu followed Zhang Xing for who knows how long.

Suddenly, Zhang Xing stopped. Qin Huairu almost bumped into Zhang Xing's back because she was following too close.

Qin Huairu looked at the building in front of him curiously. There were two big words hanging on it - canteen.

"Brother Xing..."

Qin Huairu muttered in a low voice, but she was afraid that only she could hear her cowardly voice.

Didn't you say that she should go to work in the breeding farm? Why bring her to the cafeteria?

Do you want her to work in the cafeteria?

Qin Huairu was very confused, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of making Zhang Xing unhappy and kicking her out.

After all, it was quite rare to have a job in the city, and Qin Huairu didn't complain much.

Just because she originally thought that she would go to work at the breeding farm and be able to follow Zhang Xing from now on.

Zhang Xing turned around, looked at Qin Huairu's confused expression, and said with a smile.

"I heard from Uncle Niu that you were waiting outside before dawn. I guess you must not have eaten yet. Eat a full meal first, and then I will take you to the breeding farm."

Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Qin Huairu didn't know what to say for a moment.

In an instant, tears filled her eyes, and they were about to fall.

"Don't cry yet. You will have the strength to cry after eating it later."

Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, Zhang Xing couldn't help but joke.

"what?"

Qin Huairu never expected that Zhang Xing would say this, so she didn't react for a while and was stunned.
