Volume 1 Chapter 16 Cotton Factory Welfare

Director Li posted these words on the bulletin board, and everyone went to take a look at it as soon as they got off work to encourage themselves.

Director Li returned to the office with a smile on his face, and looked at Sheng Wanyan with admiration in his eyes.

Sheng Wanyan's name left a good impression on her superiors.

Director Li also received praise from his superiors.

"You guys can also go get some fruit and sugar later. This time we are all thanks to Comrade Sheng Wanyan.

Originally, each person in our Propaganda Department only had two apples. The superiors were very satisfied with the work done this time and specially rewarded each person in our Propaganda Department with three more apples. ”

Director Li was so happy. This was recognition of the Propaganda Department’s work by their superiors.

Several people in the office applauded. Fruits are expensive nowadays, so how could they not be happy with three more?

"Okay, keep up the good work and create more value for our country and the Propaganda Department."

Director Li has a lot of words to say. Today's leaders always say "contribute to the country."

If you don't say this and someone finds out, your position will be over.

Sheng Wanyan went home from get off work carrying fruits and sugar. She thought her family could buy two bicycles. It was really inconvenient to wait for the tram every day.

By then, she and Sheng's mother will each have one, which will be convenient for commuting to and from get off work.

When her family saw her coming back with the fruit, they asked her a few questions. After learning that the treatment at the cotton mill was so good, they told her to work hard.

"Dad, Mom, shall we buy two bicycles?"

When Sheng's father heard her words, he thought it was a great idea. Their family lived in the tube building of the steel plant, which was close to his workplace.

But my wife and daughter have to take the tram to go to work, and the tram is crowded and the time is not accurate.

As long as I get off work early, I will pick up my wife from get off work. But now my daughter is also working and we are not short of money, so it would be nice to buy two cars.

Even when my daughter gets married, she can have one as a dowry.

The other one can be used at home or for my son’s wedding.

Since he couldn't take his son with him to the military area, he could just give him some money to make up for it. At least he wouldn't lose out.

"Sure, but I have to think of a way to get the bicycle ticket."

Mother Sheng had no objection to spending a lot of money. She knew what was important and she was thrifty with money when managing the household.

But as long as you take good care of this bicycle, it won't be a problem to use it for ten or eight years.

"Go to work tomorrow and ask your coworkers, or send a letter to Ozawa to see if he can exchange with his comrades."

Mr. Sheng had already made up his mind, and no one had any objections.

"OK."

Sheng's mother went to mail the letter early the next morning. However, what they didn't know was that after Sheng Wanze heard that Sheng Wanyan was going to have a blind date, he immediately applied for leave and was now on his way home.

Sheng Wanyan went to work and started knitting sweaters when she had nothing to do. She always felt that she could do some small business secretly.

"Alas~"

Wu Jiaxiu sighed, and Sheng Wanyan looked over in confusion.

"Sister Jiaxiu, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Jiaxiu glanced at her and began to complain about the scene of buying meat early this morning.

"It's so hard to buy meat now. I went to queue up early in the morning, but I only bought two bones. Food is so scarce now."

When Niu Fangli heard her words, she quickly agreed.

"Who says it's not true? I went shopping for groceries today and couldn't even buy eggs."

Sheng Wanyan glanced at the two of them. Was this a good opportunity?

But I was a little hesitant, afraid that I might be careless.

Sheng Wanyan thought about it and still didn't say anything. She had just arrived and it was better not to take any risks.

It would be better to wait for a while and establish a good relationship with everyone before doing business.

Sheng Wanyan is very cautious. Although she has the memories of the original owner, she often cannot adapt to this era and can easily get herself into trouble if she is not careful.

She was sure that the original owner was really gone. At first, her body still had some of the original owner's habits, but later they became less and less, and now they have gradually disappeared.

She was very sure that the people of the Sheng family were her own family, but the original owner still could not find a breakthrough for her to find the reason.

Perhaps, they are the same person, otherwise why would grandpa say that?

Grandpa said that their family would meet in another place. If it is true as Grandpa said, maybe she and the original owner are really the same person.

Whatever happens, now that things are settled, she doesn't want to dwell on it anymore.

Now that you are here, live a good life. The health of your family is better than anything else.

After work, Sheng Wanyan found a deserted place near her home and took out a piece of pork, which weighed about one pound.

There has been little oil and water at home recently, and the bacon pickled for the New Year has been almost eaten.

Every household is cooking now, and the workers in the tube buildings are basically working in the steel mills, and everyone has returned home long ago.

This was convenient for Sheng Wanyan, otherwise everyone would definitely gossip about her if they saw her taking the meat home.

Nowadays, eating meat has to be done secretly.

When Sheng Wanyan returned home, Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng had already prepared the meal. When they saw her holding the meat, what else could they not understand?

"Going to the black market again?"

Grandpa Sheng had a gloomy face. He was most against her going to the black market, so he decided to let Father Sheng do it.

If a girl always runs to dangerous places, she will be in danger of losing her life if something really happens.

"No, I just got off work and there happened to be an old lady at the door with a basket, so I went over and asked her."

Grandpa Sheng relaxed his frown upon hearing this. Nowadays, many people would carry a basket and wait at the factory gate.

Everyone in the factory knows what is going on and is happy to see it happen, so they won't report it.

After all, who doesn’t want to eat meat and eat something good? When good things are delivered to your door, why be so stupid?

Hello, I'm fine, hello everyone.

It’s because of the food shortage now. The workers are not stupid enough to refuse food to the workers.

Sheng Wanyan made up a random excuse, saying that she had never seen the old lady, but it was Wu Jiaxiu who told her about it.

There are indeed middle-aged ladies carrying baskets and often hanging around the entrances of various factories.

Anyway, he keeps saying he's coming to see relatives, but it remains to be confirmed who those relatives are.

"How much did you spend on the meat? Ask your mother to give you the reimbursement later."

"No, my parents gave me 10 yuan from work, so I have money to spend."

Grandma Sheng was unhappy when she heard her words. She believed that the meat was definitely bought at the black market price.

My granddaughter has to pay for the tram ride every day, and she also has to pay for a nice meal in the cafeteria occasionally.

What's more, the meat was not for her to eat alone, although it was her duty as a daughter to respect her parents.

But it depends on the situation. The granddaughter has just started working and hasn't received her salary yet. How can she pay for the meat?

"Listen to your grandma."

Grandpa Sheng has spoken, and Sheng Wanyan doesn't dare to say anything. In this family, no one dares to refute what Grandpa Sheng says.

After dinner, Sheng's mother gave five dollars to Sheng Wanyan, but Sheng Wanyan quickly refused.
