The Pharmaceutical Plant

Lu Dudu's being so understanding made Lin Nannan's heart ache, but since Lu Hang wasn’t around, she had no choice but to rely on others.

Hu Zhaoxia was overjoyed at Lu Dudu’s arrival. She had been feeling quite bored on her own and didn’t care for small talk with others, so she had been staying at home all the time.

By bringing Lu Dudu to her, Lin Nannan not only trusted her but also gave her some company.

Besides, Lu Dudu was so adorable that Hu Zhaoxia was utterly charmed by her and was naturally happy to help.

After settling Lu Dudu in, Lin Nannan headed to the pharmaceutical plant.

She was still familiar with the lay of the land, so she didn’t bother asking anyone for directions. She just focused on finding Lu Jianan to resolve the matter so she could return to take care of Lu Dudu.

Along the way, she encountered quite a few people. She noticed many of them pointing her out, their eyes filled with scorn and ridicule, which made her frown involuntarily.

However, since she had things to attend to, she didn’t ask. The resentful expressions on their faces made her feel that drama would come her way even if she did nothing, so she ignored them.

The pharmaceutical plant was built on newly cleared land by the military and was quite large compared to ordinary buildings.

This was Lin Nannan’s first time seeing the finished pharmaceutical plant, and she felt quite emotional.

If she hadn’t left back then, she would’ve been part of all this.

As she stood at the entrance of the pharmaceutical plant looking around, Lu Jianan personally came out to greet her.

"I thought you weren’t coming and was about to go to Political Commissar Chen’s house to fetch you," Lu Jianan said directly upon seeing her.

Lin Nannan said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "There’s no need to be so impatient. I’m not leaving!"

"Heh, then tell me, when are you leaving in a few days?" Lu Jianan’s expression clearly showed he didn’t believe her, making Lin Nannan press a hand to her forehead.

"That’s really hard to say!" Lin Nannan didn’t dare make any promises.

Lu Jianan snorted coldly and then led her into the pharmaceutical plant. He gave her a tour, introducing their current output and the main drugs they produced...

It was common knowledge in the unit that Lu Jianan was in charge of the pharmaceutical plant, so when he personally guided and introduced her, it surprised everyone...

Most of the army wives recognized Lin Nannan and couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

"Xiao Pei, did you see that? It’s Lin Nannan. When did she come back? We hadn’t heard anything about it."

Those who had already settled near the pharmaceutical plant grew excited upon seeing Lin Nannan and immediately asked.

Xiao Pei tugged at her slightly rumpled clothes and explained in a low voice, "She got back yesterday. I haven’t had a chance to tell you all yet."

Mainly, she had instinctively kept Lin Nannan’s matters confidential and didn’t want to discuss them with others.

"I really didn’t expect Nan Nan to be away for so long this time. Let’s go see her after we finish work!" someone suggested.

"Sure! Did she come back alone? What about her daughter? Who’s taking care of her?" Remembering the child born at the base, someone asked Xiao Pei.

Xiao Pei quickly replied, "She brought her daughter back. She’s probably at Political Commissar Chen’s house now."

Only Political Commissar Chen’s wife was at home; the others Nan Nan knew were all busy working here.

"Oh, that little chubby girl is back too? Then I’ll have to go home later and rummage around to see what I have that’s suitable for the child." Grateful that Lin Nannan had changed her fate, the army wife, who had previously been stingy with food and clothes, now became generous, eager to give the child the best.

As they discussed, Xiao Pei listened on the side and couldn’t help but smile.

The former housing area hadn’t been this harmonious. Back then, they would argue fiercely over the smallest patch of land or a stray rock, often to the point of not speaking to each other.
