Chapter 148 Going Out to Play

When Chen Yi heard her mention this, she understood what she meant.

In fact, when she was talking to Ma Li just now, she knew what this man meant.

But she couldn't say it first, so she could only wait for Wu Mei to say it herself.

She replied calmly: "Yes, every family is like this now. It's not easy."

Wu Mei felt a little anxious when she saw that she didn't say anything, but then she thought again and realized that she was the one who was confused.

It's normal for people not to respond. If you tell others about it, it will be considered speculation and profiteering. How can they just say it out loud?

Thinking of this, she said, "Secretary Chen, can you also prepare two poultry for me? One will do!"

Wu Mei was afraid that Chen Yi would not be happy, so she would be fine with just one. Their family was not short of money, but they just did not have that much supply.

There is nothing we can do about it. This is how it is this year. Every household has the same supply, and even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.

The prices of meat products on the black market have skyrocketed. Even if you grit your teeth and buy them, you still feel it’s a loss. It’s better not to eat them.

When Chen Yi heard her say that, she smiled and nodded, "Of course you can, but I have to say this first, you can't tell anyone else about this."

After spending so much time together, she has come to know Wu Mei to some extent. She is not a bad person and is diligent, otherwise she would not have agreed.

Wu Mei nodded quickly and assured, "Don't worry, Secretary Chen, I'm very tight-lipped!"

Whether it was strict or not would only be known later. Chen Yi told her the price, and then they agreed to do the transaction after get off work.

Don't let her ask for money later and she thinks it's too expensive, then all her work will be in vain.

Because it gets dark early in the winter, the factory takes care of everyone and lets us get off work at four in the afternoon.

It was dark by 4:30 and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

Chen Yi put on a scarf and followed everyone out of the factory.

When she reached the door, she saw Ma Li and Wu Mei were waiting for her.

The three of them came to the entrance of a sparsely populated alley and asked them to wait there and watch the bicycles.

They didn't dare to follow, so they could only wait here. In case someone came, they could notify Chen Yi in advance and everyone could run away.

But it was obvious that the two of them were overthinking it. Now everyone was walking back and no one was paying attention to this side.

Chen Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, then took out the poultry and put them into sacks.

After finishing all this, she walked out, put the two bags on the ground and said, "The contents of these two bags are the same, but you can choose what you choose.

Because we can't guarantee that every one of them will be the same weight, we let them choose for themselves.

Don't argue about who is bigger and who is smaller then, that would be too boring.

When they heard this, the two people on the opposite side already understood. They looked at each other and neither of them took action.

Because once you get your hands on it, you’ll know how heavy this thing is.

"Take whatever you want, what do you think, Comrade Wu?" Ma Li asked with a smile.

Wu Mei nodded. It wouldn’t make much difference anyway, so she could trust Chen Yi.

The money had already been given before, so the two of them just picked up the sack and tied it to the bicycle.

As soon as they started, they both realized that it was not a loss at all.

There are about twelve or thirteen pounds in the bag. Even if you go to the market to buy it, you can't buy such heavy poultry at this price.

After saying goodbye to the two, Chen Yi rode her bike home.

Because the weather was cold, she didn't dare to delay and rode very fast.

When I got home, He Mingcheng had already prepared dinner.

He originally wanted to pick up Chen Yi, but he was not allowed to go after trying twice.

Chen Yi felt that being picked up and dropped off all the time was not good and would form a habit, so it would be better for her to go home and face it.

When He Mingcheng goes on a business trip, how will she survive?

"The New Year is coming soon. I'll take you out to play during the holidays. Recently, the lake in the park has been converted into an ice rink." He Mingcheng said as he served the meal.

Chen Yi was a little surprised when she heard this. How could there be any entertainment these days? She thought that there was nothing to do at this time, and at most she could go for a walk in the park.

She didn't know much before, so she didn't know this.

However, when the factory held basketball and table tennis competitions in the summer, she thought that was entertainment.

"Really? That's great. Now that you tell me, I start to think about it." Chen Yi began to wonder what the ice rink looks like now.

He Mingcheng smiled but said nothing. He felt that his wife was like a little child, so cute and still thinking about playing.

Time flies, and it's time for vacation in a blink of an eye.

The factory gave Chen Yi ten days off, mainly because she was not working on the front line, nor in logistics.

The front-line workers had the first day of the Chinese New Year off and had to return to work on the second day.

Although the workload is not large now, but after a long time, these tasks are still here and they still need to be completed in the end.

Chen Yi said goodbye to Ma Li and left under her resentful gaze.

There is also Fang Xiaoli, who works in the accounting office and works the same hours as the front-line workers on holidays.

There is no way, they also need to cooperate with the work, so they can't take a holiday early.

After returning home, Chen Yi was completely liberated. Although it was only ten days, it was much better than a two or three-day vacation.

He Mingcheng didn't take a holiday, but he asked for leave directly. Because his work only lasted two days, how could it be used?

The two of them slept until they woke up naturally at home and did not go out until ten o'clock the next morning, which was the warmest time of the day.

The temperature didn't drop until after three in the afternoon.

So if you want to play, of course you should take advantage of this time to go out.

Chen Yi was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, and it was not easy for her to put her hands around his waist, so she could only pull at his clothes.

The supervision is more strict at this time. If they start hugging each other, someone will come and meddle in their affairs.

Although they were a legal couple, she did not do so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When they arrived, Chen Yi looked at the many people on the lake and said in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"

It's still working hours now, and at first glance, there are indeed more teenagers here.

Most of them are in school or are just graduating and sitting at home.

Those who are unemployed after the Chinese New Year have to go to the countryside.

He Mingcheng didn't expect so many people to come, but since he was already here, he might as well play for a while before leaving.

Otherwise, it would be so boring to ride a bike for more than half an hour and then just go back like this.

The two of them went to rent skates, rented some shoes, and then changed into them.

But there were so many people that they could only stroll around the edge.

There were too many people inside and the young people were playing too hard, so they were knocked down easily.

If she really wanted to get angry with these young people, she felt it was not worth it, so she just stayed away from them and tried not to disturb each other.

He Mingcheng also knows how to play, and the two of them have a lot of fun playing together.

This is their second time hanging out together. After working long hours, it’s fun to hang out occasionally.

Thanks to Xiaomi, Yisi Bingxuan for the reward
