"Uncles, this is the room. I want to lay the floor and paint the walls."

Uncle Wang looked at it and saw that it was over 20 square meters. He smiled and said, "Laying the floor is easy. It can be done in an afternoon. It's also easy to paint. Let's paint first. If we lay the floor first, the paint on top will fall and it will be difficult to clean up."

"Okay, I'll listen to my two uncles."

Uncle Liu looked at what Meng Si Ning had prepared and said, "This is very complete. We can get started right away."

Both uncles came with their sons to join the army.

He doesn't have a formal job, but he knows some bricklaying skills. He usually does some repairs for his neighbors, and his neighbors give him some rice, flour, money, etc.

If things go well, I can earn 20 or 30 yuan a month, but if things go badly, I won't get any work at all.

Meng Si Ning pulled Jiang Tang into the house and asked, "How much money should I give them later?"

"I've made a deal for you. Five dollars. Oh, and if you want them to work in your garden, it'll be an extra dollar."

“So cheap?”

"Sister, it's the seventies now, no less."

"OK."

"What did you just tell me? Where's Xia Qiu?"

"Xia Qiu went to help me make clothes. Look at me. Didn't I tell you about the dinner and tea party before? There was a young comrade named He who asked to help me ask about the tea in their unit.

There's news. He asked you to go to his company when you're free and look for Director Qin from the logistics department." Meng Si Ning said as he went to find the address for her.

"Great! It's a machinery factory."

"I've learned about this machinery factory. It's not an ordinary machinery factory."

"So you're rich?"

Jiang Tang smiled slyly, as if money was already waving to her.

"By the way, I came back today to talk to you about something."

"Didn't you say to order something? What did you order?"

Jiang Tang took out the list she had made and showed it to her: "Necessary medicines for the rabbit, and a waterer. I want the cheap kind, the kind used for chickens and ducks, nothing too conspicuous.

There's still some barbed wire. Tomorrow the villagers will come and help me pull it up."

"I have a little rabbit, too."

Meng Si Ning took her to Lin Xiaodi's room, where Lin Xiaodi was holding the little rabbit and feeding it.

"I found it in the mountains, only about ten days old. I was going to give it to you, but I liked it so I kept it."

"The rabbits we raise have long fur. We don't want this kind of rabbits either. It's fine for you to raise them." Then he whispered in Meng Si Ning's ear, "Be good to Brother Lin."

Lin Siyun gave Jiang Tang a rare smile this time, showing off the rabbit in his arms: "It's called Xiaobai, I named it."

"Well, not bad, not bad, it looks pretty good. It seems to be a lop-eared rabbit."

"Drop ears? How did you tell?"

"After all, I've raised rabbits before."

Little Brother Lin asked curiously, "Did Sister Tangtang also raise rabbits when she was a child?"

"Ahem, oh, ah."

Jiang Tang turned a few blind eyes guiltily and pulled Meng Si Ning out.

The two brothers of the Xia family will leave tomorrow, and so will Jiang Tang’s brother.

Jiang Tang is back today, so it's a good time for the whole family to have a meal together.

Jiang Tang took advantage of this opportunity and rode his bike to the machinery factory.

When I passed by Chen Qingyu's father's supply and marketing cooperative, I went in and observed for a while and found that some people were buying tea, and they were buying their Zhangshan black tea.

Jiangtang felt warm in his heart.

I arrived at the machinery factory with a smile on my face all the way.

"Uncle, I'm a member of Hongguang Commune, and I'm here to see Section Chief Qin from your logistics department."

"Come in, Section Chief Qin is at the very back of the first floor of Building No. 3."

"Thank you, uncle."

After Jiang Tang went in, she still had to ask someone before she found Section Chief Qin's office.

"Come in."

"Hello, Section Chief Qin. I'm Jiang Tang from the Hongguang Commune in Jiangzhou County. Our commune is rich in black tea. Comrade He recommended me here, saying that your unit might need to purchase a batch of tea."

Jiang Tang said as he took out a bag of tea from his pocket and placed it on Director Qin's desk.

Director Qin took the bag of black tea, looked at the pretty young girl in front of him, and laughed: "I was wondering why He Yan was so concerned. So this is what's going on."

Jiang Tang was stunned when he heard this.

"I've tried your black tea before, it tastes good. How's the price?"

Jiang Tang didn't expect Director Qin to be so straightforward, so she quickly said, "Director, we supply the supply and marketing cooperative for 40 cents a bag, and a bag is 200 grams, which is 1.2 yuan per pound."

"Do you also supply the department store? This tea looks really good, but 200 grams is too little. Can you pack it into one-jin bags? We need 300 bags of one-jin bags."

"Three hundred bags, one pound each, haha, no problem."

Director Qin smiled and handed her a contract for her to look over. Then he said with a smile, "He Yan is in the technical department on the third floor of the office building. You can go find him later."

Jiang Tang signed the name of the commune on the contract, stamped it, and nodded with a smile. They had never met each other, but the other party introduced such a big order to her, so she should be grateful.

I have agreed with Director Qin on the delivery time.

Jiang Tang went to the technical department on the third floor.

“Dongdong…”

"Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me...Is Comrade He here?"

A man in his thirties asked, "Are you looking for He Yan?"

It seems to be this name, Jiang Tang smiled and nodded.

"Oh, unfortunately, he just went out with his master."

"Then when will he come back? I can wait for a while."

"It's hard to say. He said there's a problem over there that he needs to solve. He probably won't be back for an hour or two."

Jiangtang didn't feel disappointed, after all, he came again.

She took out a bag of snacks from her pocket and gave it to the male colleague: "I won't wait any longer. Please give this to him and say thank you to him. My name is Jiang Tang."

After Jiang Tang left, a young comrade standing nearby yelled, "That brat He Yan told me yesterday he wasn't looking for a partner, but today he finds one. Who is he trying to fool? He's such a jerk! I'm going to give him a good beating when I get back."

"Why are you killing people? Isn't He Yan that kid attracting enough girls? Maybe this one is just one of them."

When Jiang Tang came back, Meng Si Ning had already finished pushing down the wall.

The two uncles have also started laying tiles.

Meng Si Ning was in the room, holding the little rabbit and feeding it. When she saw her come in, she hurriedly asked, "How is it going? Did you agree?"

"Okay, they want one jin per package, and they want 300 jin."

"That's quite a few. I didn't expect Comrade He to be so helpful."

"I wanted to thank him, but I didn't see him."

"To be honest, he always wore a hat and covered himself up tightly, so I couldn't see him clearly, but his eyes were simple and clear, and he didn't look like a bad guy."

"Yeah. I'm just a tea seller, so I'm not worth being cheated by him. People at this time are simple and warm."

Because he was too excited, Little Brother Lin took care of the little rabbit day and night and would not wake up for two or three hours.

The weather was cool at the moment, so the two of them took the little rabbit to the yard and lay in a rocking chair under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air.
