Chapter 279: Man is Iron and Rice is Steel

"We followed Director Ma to identify the rooms."

"How wonderful! We're in the county town and have a room to live in. I guess the dormitory building must be better than the mud house at home."

"You don't need to think about it, just use your feet to think, you can know that the dormitory building must be good."

"Nizi, you're doing the right thing to come out. Who will pay you for working at home?"

"That's right, that's right."

"We can leave home, earn money, and live in an apartment."

"Everyone wait for me, I have a lot of packages."

…

Dozens of women gathered together, chattering.

They heard that if they recognized the house, they could have food to eat.

I feel like I am a city dweller and a government employee.

Those who already like to talk will talk even more happily, and those who don’t like to talk can also chat with people they know or don’t know.

Qin Qing looked at their backs carrying umbrellas and walking away, muttering to herself that it was not easy for everyone, and they must overcome the difficulties and make a name for themselves starting from the county textile factory.

Let these sisters who follow me understand that it is better to rely on themselves than on others.

"Qing'er, what are you looking at?"

"The sewing machine has been installed. The motor you customized is good and will increase productivity."

"When I have time, I'll help my second uncle revitalize the decoration company. It's really worrying that they're keeping it dead without any work."

Tang Tianqiao stood behind Qin Qing and said something out of the blue that almost scared Qin Qing to death.

He spoke at length, and Qin Qing calmed down from her shock.

She turned her head and said with a smile.

"Uncle, don't worry. A decoration company is not like a garment factory. They can start work on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

"After the New Year holiday, there will be work."

Qin Qing was talking to her second uncle while looking at the warehouse. She wanted to completely erase the word "warehouse".

What is the name of the factory?

It gave me a lot of trouble for a while.

"You have a point. Who would do renovations during Chinese New Year?"

"I'm free now, can I just help out at the garment factory?"

Tang Tianqiao likes the hustle and bustle and doesn't like staying alone in the decoration company.

He really wanted to stay, help his niece and kill time in loneliness.

Because he has a dark history and has been in jail, he has been single ever since.

At this age, he still doesn't have a wife, which is rare in Dagang Village and even in the mountain city.

"OK."

Qin Qing nodded, welcoming her second uncle to help in the garment factory.

The reason why she nodded so confidently was because her second uncle was already helping.

Look, from Dagang Village to the county town, my second uncle was busy all the way.

Suddenly, she remembered that Ke Jianbin was missing, and hurriedly asked Tang Tianqiao, "Second uncle, where is Boss Ke?"

"Invite him to a meal at noon."

"I brought a lot of chickens, ducks, and geese that Qin Dacheng slaughtered."

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the New Year isn't over yet."

"Boss Ke, he's gone."

"The first day of the Lunar New Year should be spent with family."

"People like us are already abnormal. We don't go home on New Year's Eve, ha ha ha..."

When my second uncle smiled, he looked like a little naughty boy, with his eyes curved into crescents.

The snow-white teeth sparkled in the cool sunshine on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Qin Qing looked at her second uncle and muttered to herself, he had everything he needed except someone to warm his bed.

After I’m done with this busy period, I’ll help my second uncle find a woman.

Her inner thoughts were quite active at this moment.

“Abnormal people will be the best in the future.”

"Uncle, let's not talk about other people anymore. Let's go to the cafeteria and see how Tang Min, the fireman, is doing."

Qin Qing just watched Ma Fangfang and the female workers go to the dormitory building to find their rooms.

She felt that she should go to the kitchen immediately, but her plans were disrupted by her second uncle's sudden appearance.

Only now did I remember what I should do.

When Tang Tianqiao heard his niece say this, he smiled and said.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. No wonder my stomach started growling."

"The sun is almost reaching the center of the sky, hehehe..."

"Where did the dumplings I ate this morning go? Why am I always hungry?"

“Man is iron, and food is steel.”

"I'll be starving if I don't eat a meal."

"We work so hard to make a living because we need to eat. If we didn't need to eat, who would work so hard?"

Qin Qing was only twenty years old, and what she said was very insightful, which left Tang Tianqiao stunned.

He nodded desperately, "Qing'er, that's right."

“People live first to feed their mouths. Once their stomachs are full, they can think about other things.”

"I don't think about anything else now. I just think about how to fill my stomach."

…

Cuckoo...

Tang Tianqiao's stomach was really disappointing. As he was talking to Qin Qing, it started to growl non-stop.

"Uncle, hurry up and go to the cafeteria. And check out the men's dormitory."

"Okay."

Tang Tianqiao took over his niece's words and spoke frankly.

He got up before daybreak and has been busy ever since. He is tired but happy. Hanging out with Qin Qing makes him feel open-minded and in a good mood.

So, the two of them walked from the clothing workshop towards the canteen.

The canteen is not far from the warehouse. It is a side building next to the warehouse. It used to store some miscellaneous things, but now it has been abandoned.

Qin Qing and Tang Tianqiao had just walked a short distance when they smelled the New Year atmosphere.

Tang Tianqiao desperately sucked in a few mouthfuls of the fragrance in the air, "Qing'er, am I a foodie? I'm drooling just by smelling the aroma of this meat."

"That's the instinct for survival. We work so hard just to have delicious food and spicy drinks."

"We took the first step and those who followed us got to eat the meat."

“The deliciousness of life is not just meat. Meat is only the most basic stage.”

…

Qin Qing said some words that Tang Tianqiao couldn't understand, and also said something that tasted better than meat.

He had neither heard nor thought about it.

Listening to his niece talking about the benefits of seafood and fungi to the body, he felt as if he was listening to a foreign language and was completely confused.

In order to avoid a dull moment, he nodded desperately to respond to Qin Qing's talk.

It's only ten minutes from the warehouse to the cafeteria, and it's such a short distance that it takes so long to walk.

It took Qin Qing and Tang Tianqiao five minutes to stand in front of the cafeteria door.

"Qing'er, you're here. It's your first time cooking in a big pot, and it's coal-fired. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Why isn't everyone here? It's a good thing they didn't come. The rice is already steaming, but the dishes will have to wait a while."

"It's not like home here. We've been busy all day, but we still haven't managed to stew the goose properly."

…

Tang Min was a kind-hearted woman who was killed by her evil mother-in-law in her previous life because of her kindness.

In this life, she was saved by her daughter and was able to live like a human being.

Her kindness is well-known.
