After Lin Yongnian stayed in the hospital and rested at home for two days, he returned to the factory to work.

He had lost a lot of weight, wasn't as energetic as before, and looked depressed.

His fellow workers in the factory looked at him with sympathy.

Of course, there were also people who didn't get along with him and made fun of him to his face by using the incident of him kneeling down to admit his mistakes to Li Shuping.

"Mr. Lin, will you hit women again in the future?"

Lin Yongnian: “…”

"Beat him? Of course he does. He not only beats women, he also beats men. Do you want to try?" Lin Guodong clenched his fists and beat his father.

"Guodong, look at yourself. It was just a joke. Your dad didn't take it seriously, but you took it seriously."

Lam Kwok Tung: "If you make such a joke again, I will beat you up."

As a father, he was made a joke like this, and as a son working in a factory, he felt ashamed.

Lin Yongnian: Guodong is a good boy.

But this class is really terrible.

"Shuping." Zhao Wenjuan walked into the dumpling shop holding a porcelain bowl with a lid.

It is only 11:30 in the morning and no customers have come to the store yet. Li Shuping and Qin Rong are sitting in the store making dumplings.

"Sister Zhao!" Li Shuping stood up, "Are you back from the hospital?"

Zhao Wenjuan nodded, "Dayan is now in the hospital. Lao Gu and I took her home to recuperate after giving birth."

Although the daughter-in-law was a little unhappy, she couldn't care less.

Li Shuping said: "After what happened, it would be better for Dayan to go back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth."

"Ah..." Zhao Wenjuan sighed, "Our Dayan has such a miserable life. She married such a bastard."

"He looks like an honest and motivated person, but his heart is rotten. It really proves what you said, you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."

"It's also thanks to you that I was persuaded to go back and guard Dayan, otherwise my Dayan would be gone."

"Thank you, Shuping." Zhao Wenjuan said to Li Shuping with gratitude.

Li Shuping: "We have been sisters for decades. Why are we talking about this? As long as Dayan is fine, that's all."

Zhao Wenjuan smiled and said, "Dayan wants to eat the dumplings made by her Aunt Li. I'll buy some for her."

"Why bother buying it? Just take some and eat it. Just think of it as an aunt of mine giving it to her out of pity."

"OK."

Zhao Wenjuan didn't bother to be polite with her. She packed about thirty dumplings, chatted with Li Shuping for a few minutes, and then left.

After she left, Li Shuping felt like there was something in her apron pocket. She reached in and saw, wow, it was a red envelope with a brand new big Unity banknote inside.

Li Shuping smiled helplessly. Why did Sister Zhao give red envelopes secretly?

Zhao Wenjuan knew that if she gave the red envelope to her in person, she would definitely not accept it, so she secretly stuffed it into her apron pocket when she was not paying attention while packing dumplings.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Ye, who went to the countryside to pick vegetables, came back.

"Xiao Ye came back early today." Qin Rong said while peeling garlic.

Qin Ye picked up a basket of eggs and moved it to the kitchen.

"When I go to the village to collect, the villagers have already prepared the goods, and I leave right after I collect them, so it's fast."

Li Shuping took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and handed it to him, "You must be thirsty, drink a soda."

Qin Ye took it, bit open the lid with his teeth, then tilted his head back and drank half the bottle. He was really thirsty.

It's really refreshing to drink a bottle of iced soda when you're thirsty.

"Aunt Li, I went to the Honglian Brigade to collect the goods today. The captain of their brigade found me and said that he wanted us to collect the goods directly through their brigade. Instead of looking for villagers to collect them individually, they can deliver the goods to our door before 7 o'clock every morning."

“The vegetables are freshly picked every morning.”

Li Shuping: "Does that cost extra?"

If there is a fixed source of goods, it would be great if they could deliver the goods to your door, and it is also acceptable to add some delivery fees.

Qin Ye shook his head, "No."

Li Shuping looked surprised. "No extra money? Such a good thing?"

Qin Ye nodded. "We bought it from the villagers at the same price as before. The brigade just collected it and sent it to us."

"The captain also said that if you need any goods or quantities, you can call their brigade office one day in advance to make an order. He gave me the phone number."

Qin Ye handed the note with the phone number on it to Li Shuping.

"What does the captain of the Red Lotus Brigade want?" Li Shuping didn't quite understand.

Qin Ye said: "To achieve harmony in the team."

"?" Li Shuping's face was full of question marks.

Qin Ye explained: "Every time I go to the village to collect goods, I basically look for villagers who I have collected goods from before, because I have dealt with them several times, so it is more convenient to collect goods."

"But those villagers who made money by selling vegetables and eggs were envied by some villagers. Two families' chickens were poisoned to death, and all the vegetables were stolen overnight."

"So the team leader came up with this idea, asking us to connect directly with the team. Their team cadres will be responsible for finding villagers to collect the goods and then send them to me."

"The captain of the Red Lotus Brigade also said that we need to make a schedule. We will collect money from these households today and those households tomorrow. We will try to make sure that every household can make a little money. That way, no one will get jealous of those who make money and start trouble under the lamp."

Qin Rong was shocked. "It's really a red-eye disease that makes people hate others and laugh at others. They are jealous of people who make a few dollars selling vegetables and eggs."

It is not easy for a farmer to raise a chicken until it lays eggs and grow vegetables until they can be harvested. This is really heartless.

Li Shuping shook her head after hearing this. The captain of the Honglian Brigade really wanted harmony within the team. He was also a good cadre who worked hard for the villagers.

"Sure, this saves us a lot of trouble. The vegetables are picked and delivered every day, so they are fresher."

Thanks to the Honglian Brigade's door-to-door delivery, Qin Ye only had to go to the meat processing factory once in the morning to get the meat.

Although he also helped in the store in the afternoon, he felt that he was too idle. He felt embarrassed to take the monthly salary of 25 yuan.

So he found Li Shuping and asked for a pay cut.

"Aunt Li, I don't have to go to collect goods in the afternoon now, so I have a lot of free time. Should I reduce my salary?"

"What's the reduction?" Li Shuping asked, "You didn't go to receive the goods this afternoon, so you didn't work in the store this afternoon?"

"Yes, but the work is too light." In the afternoon in the store, they just sweep the floor, wipe the tables, and make dumplings. Aunt Li also lets them take a nap during lunch break.

Li Shuping smiled. This kid looked smart, but he was really honest. He was not happy with the easy work and wanted a pay cut.

In her entire life, she had only seen people complain about the high pay for the work, but she had never seen anyone complain about the low pay for the work and ask for a pay cut.

"No matter how light it is, it's still work. If you can work in the store in the afternoon, I can also have less work to do. Forget about reducing your salary."

After saying that, Li Shuping went into the kitchen.

On this day, the take-out box that Li Shuping ordered was finally delivered, with the four big words "Li's Dumplings" engraved on the lid of the box.

This way people can tell at a glance that it’s from their Li Ji Dumpling Shop.
