Kang Xiaoqiao's heart warmed when she heard this. She hugged Kang Daqiao's arm and only said after a long while, "I'm not a child anymore. I'm not afraid of the dark."
Actually, Kang Xiaoqiao was most afraid of the dark. As her elder sister who had been with her for so long, how could she not know?
Kang Daqiao sighed. She was both reluctant and helpless.
Fortunately, they arrived at the provincial capital very quickly. Both of them were in a much better mood.
Kang Tianhai had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the car, he smiled.
Kang Xiaoqiao opened the car door and greeted Kang Tianhai. "Second brother, why are you waiting at the door again? It's so cold."
Kang Tianhai did not feel any pain from before. He did not take it seriously at all and said, "It's not cold. Come, come. Hurry up and enter the house. Are you guys cold?"
"Especially you, little sister. You always grimace when it's winter. Your cold-sensitive body is fine, but why are you hanging around? Big sister can come over herself. You're already so old. It's not like you haven't been here before. Why are you giving me a gift?"
Eh--
As the daughter of the Kang family, the treatment was so different. However, Kang Xiaoqiao was also used to it. Kang Tianhai had treated her like this since she was young. Other than her, there was almost no one else in his eyes. Even Mother Kang did not look at her.
"Second brother, I came here on my own accord. Don't blame big sister, I still have many things to deal with."
After a round of work, Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the thriving new factory and was in a good mood.
Although Kang Tianhai was a bit of a hooligan, he was still quite efficient in handling things.
As a result, the new factory had already attracted quite a number of employees. These people were going in and out, and it seemed like they were very busy.
Most of them were doing construction because the factory had yet to enter the production stage, so all they were doing was preparing.
Now, there was already a batch of stock in the warehouse. This time, Kang Xiaoqiao did not look for others to turn the medicinal herbs into powder. Instead, she tried to use people from her own factory. Therefore, the first job of these new employees was to turn the medicinal herbs into powder.
Kang Xiaoqiao paid great attention to the sanitary conditions in the workshop. Almost every employee had a uniform. When they entered the workshop, they had to change their shoes and wear shoe covers, not to mention masks and masks.
Almost all of them were fully armed. Kang Xiaoqiao's requirements were very high, and she was not afraid of spending money.
Moreover, the treatment in the new factory was very good. Although it was not an establishment, not an iron rice bowl, and it was a contract system, it had found a good home for these temporary workers who could not enter the establishment. Everyone cherished this job very much.
Currently, the output was not particularly large, so the core technology was in Kang Xiaoqiao's hands. Therefore, she had to come to the provincial capital every once in a while to finish the product before she could go home.
This time, apart from sending Kang Daqiao, she was also making the finished product with the prepared materials.
After a few more days, Kang Xiaoqiao had to return to the ministry when it was almost the 15th of the first lunar month.
Every year on the 15th of the first lunar month, the ministry would have a performance. Of course, what made Kang Xiaoqiao even more excited was that Lu Yichen was coming back. He had promised to spend the 15th of the first lunar month with her.
Early in the morning, Kang Xiaoqiao got up. Kang Daqiao just happened to come in from outside the door. She rubbed her hands and said, "Little sister, why are you up so early?"
"Oh my god, it's really super cold today. I'm freezing to death."
Kang Xiaoqiao also felt it, so she put on her clothes super fast. As she put on her clothes, she said, "It's really a cold winter today. I'm freezing to death."
Kang Daqiao put her hands into the quilt, warmed her hands on the kang and said, "Little sister, it's so cold today. Don't go, okay? Let's go tomorrow."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately shook her head and said, "No, tomorrow is the Fifteenth Day of the first lunar month. The department has a performance. Yichen will be back almost today. I have to go home quickly."
Kang Daqiao looked at Kang Xiaoqiao unwillingly and said, "Oh!"
However, Kang Xiaoqiao did not take it seriously at all. She was eager to return home.
She happily put on her clothes and dressed herself up beautifully. Then, she put on some light makeup. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror and blinked. "Sis, sis, do you think my makeup looks good? Does it look good?"
Kang Xiaoqiao had a pair of big eyes. Her eyelashes were long. When she put on eyeliner, she looked even more bright and spirited. One look at her and her soul would be hooked.
When Kang Daqiao heard this, she immediately said, "You looks good. My little sister is the best."
"But, why do these eyes seem to have gotten bigger again--"
Kang Daqiao was still very curious about this. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "This is the art of makeup. Alright, sis, when you're free in the future, I'll teach you properly."
"This time, you can't be as stubborn as before. Makeup is a compulsory course for women."
After saying that, she twirled her hair, closed the mirror, and put it into her bag. "Let's go, sis. Let's eat. I'm starving."
Kang Daqiao obediently followed behind her. The two of them pushed the door open and entered the house. As soon as they entered the house, they hurriedly rubbed their hands together. It was too cold, and as soon as they left the house, their hands were completely frozen.
They had only walked a few steps, and there was frost on their eyelashes. When Kang Tianhai saw them, he quickly handed Kang Xiaoqiao a large teapot filled with hot water.
"Quickly hug the warm water. The water temperature isn't particularly hot. Take a sip to warm your stomach or something."
"It's such a Cold Day. Why are you dressed like this? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? "
After saying that, Kang Xiaoqiao turned to look at Kang Daqiao and said with a sullen face, "Big sister, little sister isn't sensible. Aren't you sensible too? You let her go out wearing so little? How did you take care of her?"
Kang Daqiao's face was unusually ugly. She could only lower her head and admit her mistake. "That, second brother, don't be angry. I, I will definitely persuade little sister to not go out wearing so little next time."
...
At the same time, she was the daughter of the Kang family. However, the difference was so big. It was the same since she was young. Kang Daqiao's kindness was also reflected in this.
Kang Tianhai reprimanded her because Kang Xiaoqiao was disobedient. Logically speaking, no matter if it was jealousy or other reasons, a normal person would definitely be very angry.
It was fine if you cared about Kang Xiaoqiao since she was young, but every time she was worried, she would be scolded by him. Being in this kind of environment all year round, it was inevitable that you would develop hostility towards Kang Xiaoqiao. At the very least, your relationship would not be good, and you would have many prejudices towards Kang Xiaoqiao.
However, Kang Daqiao did not have such thoughts. After Kang Tianhai's lesson, she immediately felt guilty towards Kang Xiaoqiao. It was all her fault for not taking good care of her little sister, causing her to be cold. What if she caught a cold?
Thus, she immediately added, "I'll go get some ginger soup for little sister. Don't really get cold. She still has to go home."
After saying that, she ran to the kitchen. Before Kang Xiaoqiao could say anything, she really did not want to drink the ginger soup. Kang Tianhai frowned at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "You're going back today? It's cold outside today. How are you going to pass the journey? Can't you pass the fifteenth here?"
