I don't know why, even though they weren't talking about anything shameful.
But when they heard Chen Zhaodi ask that question, Huang Eryuan and the others felt inexplicably guilty.
"N-nothing much was discussed..."
Chen Zhaodi was anxious to know what was going on with the order, so she didn't bother to ask them any further questions.
She handed the form to Huang Jianguo and the others, looking at them very seriously: "Eldest brother, second brother, what's going on here?"
Huang Jianguo and the others had already told Huang Eryuan what had happened, so they honestly recounted the whole story to Chen Zhaodi.
After hearing this, Chen Zhaodi was not angry at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's what it was. You guys, why did you have to hide this from us?"
Huang Jianjun chuckled and said, "My brother and I aren't afraid because you'll think we're not doing our proper work and are just engaging in speculation."
Chen Zhaodi waved her hand: "What are you afraid of? Your father and I are not unreasonable people."
"Besides, all your watches and radios are very expensive. Even if you've been making them for over a month, you must have needed capital at the beginning."
“You didn’t borrow from me or your dad. There are just the two of you, so you definitely don’t have that much money.”
"Where did you get your initial capital for the goods?"
After a pause, Chen Zhaodi continued with an all-knowing expression, "I guess you can only borrow it from Qinqin and Junhui. Am I right?"
Huang Jianguo couldn't help but smile and nodded to Chen Zhaodi, thinking to himself: Indeed, no one knows a son better than his mother; nothing can be hidden from her.
Huang Jianjun grinned and gave Chen Zhaodi a thumbs up: "You guessed it all right, Mom, you're amazing!"
Chen Zhaodi proudly held her head high and said, "Don't you know who I am? Do you think I don't know you?"
"However, you should also be careful not to go too far."
"Although the factory does turn a blind eye to these things, if someone reports it and your actions are too drastic, then it's hard to say."
Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun nodded. They also knew that the transaction amount should not be too large. Although there were many items on this order, there was a reason for it.
Huang Jianguo explained to them, "We know that this is an order from workers in several factories combined."
"In reality, if we divide the orders among each factory, only a few people from each factory place orders with us. We don't dare to help too many people carry our goods."
"As long as you know what's going on, we won't interfere."
After finishing that, Chen Zhaodi brought up another matter: "By the way, Shengnan's parents said they hope we can find two 'bed-pressing boys' to do it."
"And ideally it would be a boy and a girl. I'm planning to have Dun Dun come as the boy, but do you have any suitable candidates for the girl?"
Chen Zhaodi also had a bit of a headache thinking about this.
When Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianguo got married, they didn't hire a "bed-pressing boy" (a male or female spirit who brings good fortune to a wedding). Now they need to find a man and a woman, and they don't know where to find anyone for the time being.
It's not that they don't value Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianguo, but rather that the village doesn't have many customs and rules.
When couples get married, both the groom's and bride's families hold a banquet and the newlyweds wear red wedding attire, which is considered a very grand occasion.
Moreover, the child chosen for this "bed-pressing child" not only needs to be under 10 years old, but also must be the child of a close relative or friend of their family.
Strangely enough, there isn't a single girl among the younger generation in the Huang family, not even one they're distantly related to.
So now the pressure is on Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi, who don't know where to find a girl to help with bed pacification.
There are many little girls in the family compound, but nowadays most people generally prefer boys to girls, so their daughters usually look timid and very thin.
The best child to be a "bed-pressing boy" (a child who brings joy to someone's bed) is someone who is fair-skinned, chubby, and good-looking.
They believe that this will bring good fortune. After all, everyone hopes their child will grow up to be healthy, chubby, and good-looking.
Upon hearing Chen Zhaodi's words, Huang Jianjun suddenly remembered someone he felt would definitely satisfy them.
"Dad, Mom, I have someone in mind. Do you remember Nuonuo?"
"Nuonuo?"
When Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan heard the name, it seemed familiar, but they couldn't quite place where they had heard it before.
Seeing their blank expressions, Huang Jianjun knew they had forgotten, so he explained, "Nuonuo is the little girl I saved before."
"She's especially pretty, fair-skinned and very well-behaved. Director Fang even brought Nuonuo to our house before."
Upon hearing Huang Jianjun's words, Chen Zhaodi and the others remembered.
Chen Zhaodi clapped her hands and said happily, "I remember now! If it's Nuonuo, that would be perfect!"
"But we're not familiar with Director Fang. Would he be willing to let Nuonuo come over and help press down on the bed?"
Huang Jianjun scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I'm not sure if Director Fang is willing, but I only know one pretty little girl named Nuonuo."
"I'll go ask about it tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."
"This is the only way."
......
The next morning, Huang Jianjun went to the Revolutionary Committee to find Fang Hui.
After he went inside, he found that there weren't many people there, so he found a man who looked relatively friendly and asked him some questions.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if Director Fang is at work today?"
The man looked up at Huang Jianjun, realized he was a stranger, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Director Fang doesn't work on Saturdays and Sundays, didn't you know that? Ask, ask, what's the point of asking?"
"Besides, does Director Fang think he can just meet any Tom, Dick, or Harry? If you have nothing else to do, then get lost!"
Everyone else could have been resting at home, but these two or three people were unlucky enough to have to come back to work, which already put them in a bad mood.
Now he's encountered someone who doesn't understand social cues, coming up to him with all sorts of questions. The man felt he had been quite patient, not even going so far as to hit him.
Seeing that the man's expression visibly worsened after he finished speaking, and that he even looked like he wanted to hit someone, Huang Jianjun quickly left.
But Huang Jianjun felt speechless. He only asked one question: Is Director Fang here? Does he need to react so strongly?
Although Huang Jianjun knew that the Revolutionary Committee members were always so arrogant, he still felt particularly uncomfortable when he actually encountered them.
Huang Jianjun looked back at the man and decided that when he found Director Fang, he would definitely report him for his misdeeds!
