The fact that Li Yue'e and her two companions went out to work caused quite a stir in the family compound. However, everyone could only envy them and dared not say anything.

Of course, they dared not say that the quota was given to Lin Ying by the Second Machinery Factory.

Everyone knows that Li Yue'e and Lin Ying are the closest. As for Gao Chunhua, they really didn't expect it.

Of course, it wasn't unexpected; Gao Chunhua couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about Lin Ying. If you said she was rude, she could just laugh it off.

If you say anything about Lin Ying, she'll argue with you about it.

But Gao Chunhua never tried to get close to Lin Ying.

It can only be said that Lin Ying is perfectly clear-headed; she knows exactly who is good and who is bad.

Regarding Wang Zhen's spot, the Logistics Department and the Women's Federation jointly issued a notice stating that it was the result of a vote. Any objections? Sure. Come talk to them.

Therefore, all they can do is envy them.

After everything was settled, Lin Ying planned to take her child to the city.

One task was to send money to Zhao Qinghuai's parents. Because of work, Zhao Qinghuai couldn't send money regularly every month. This task was entrusted to Lin Ying.

Another reason she wanted to save the money was to buy formula for her child.

After learning that Lin Ying had a child, Lin Ying added milk powder coupons to her salary. Combined with those from Zhao Qinghuai, she could buy two packs of milk powder a month. It was enough to get by.

Of course, this is because both children eat other foods.

Last time Lin Ying went to town, the milk powder was out of stock, so she had to go to the city.

Early in the morning, Lin Ying carried a basket on her back, which contained the sable fur coat that Anba had given her, as well as a thick overcoat.

In addition, I also brought Er Ya a clean set of clothes. I also brought a lot of toilet paper.

Now that there are no thermos flasks, they'll be squeezing onto the bus later, and they can't exactly bring a thermos. They might as well wait and go to the state-run restaurant to eat.

Lin Ying dressed both children warmly, then dressed herself, picked up a basket, and headed to the gate of the compound.

When Lin Ying arrived with her child, there were already several people waiting. Many of these children were very close to Lin Ying, and they started calling out to her from afar when they saw her coming.

Upon seeing Lin Ying, Li Yue'e couldn't help but ask, "Girl, it's so cold, where are you planning to go?"

Li Yue'e has been back at work for a few days now. She doesn't seem to be very busy and looks quite energetic.

"I need to go to the city because we're running low on baby formula. I also need to send money to the baby's grandmother."

"Oh dear, it's so cold here. Let's go on a nicer day."

Lin Ying smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It'll get cold no matter how nice the weather is. The sooner we go, the better."

"That's true."

As they were talking, Gao Chunhua and Wang Zhen arrived. Wang Zhen was followed by several children. They looked quite imposing.

Around three o'clock, the car finally arrived.

They were all big kids, and they all went up by themselves without anyone's help.

Gao Chunhua helped wrap the sash up. After Li Yue'e got on the bus, she helped carry Er Ya, and Lin Ying also climbed onto the bus.

Because it was so cold, all the cars had been covered with canopies. There were also seats on both sides.

However, because Lin Ying arrived late, there were no seats left.

Seeing Lin Ying come up, several children stood up to give her their seats. Li Yue'e, who was standing to the side, said irritably, "I was wondering why these older kids are so polite and let the younger ones go first. What's wrong with them today? Turns out they're trying to grab seats for you."

Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, of course, after all, we have a very good relationship."

Despite saying that, Lin Ying didn't sit down. "You guys sit down, I have some things with me."

As she spoke, Lin Ying took a small stool out of her basket and placed it in the middle.

The roads are covered in snow, and everyone's feet are soaked. Cars are also wet from being stepped on, so it's impossible to sit directly on the ground.

Seeing that Lin Ying had indeed brought things, the older children sat back down. Of course, a few gave their seats to the younger children.

After Lin Ying sat down, she put on the sable fur coat, Er Ya sat in the basket on her back, and Shuanzi sat on her lap. Then she brought out the steamed buns.

The road was icy, and the car wasn't going fast, so she was fine sitting there even without holding onto the handrail.

"Look how thoughtful your aunt is, she's really well-equipped for this trip."

Lin Ying smiled and said, "The child is too young to withstand the cold."

The driver got out of the car, checked to make sure everyone was seated properly, and then pulled up the curtain at the back. Soon, the car slowly started moving.
