With many production tasks, some small problems often arise. Generally, the maintenance masters in the factory can handle these small problems themselves. If they encounter some difficult problems, they have to send someone to send a message to ask Jiang Sui to go over.
As for Xiang Baiwei, after the grain workshop's business became slow, she asked her youngest brother, who had the least busy life in her family, to keep an eye on the workshop, to ensure that there would be no one in the workshop when someone occasionally came to do processing.
She picked out two large bags of peanuts, and when she had free time every day, she would sit in the house shelling the peanut seeds, preparing to plant them after the wheat was harvested.
Time passes in space half as fast as in the real world. The crops in the real world are still growing, but the wheat in space has already grown tall, and it will probably be harvested soon.
During the Chinese New Year, Xiang Baiwei had pretty good luck. When the space gave out New Year gifts, she was lucky enough to draw an acre of land and some fish fry.
Last year, she sold fat fish and peanuts for more than 2,000 yuan. With considerable profits ahead, Xiang Baiwei was full of enthusiasm to take care of the fish pond.
That day, she had just left the space and was sitting in the yard peeling peanuts when the yard door was knocked, causing the big black dog sleeping in the doghouse to howl wildly.
Xiang Baiwei scolded the big black dog that jumped up and barked, then walked to the door and asked who the other person was.
When she opened the door, she found that it was Zhang Guangcan, whom she had gone on a blind date with before but whom she didn't like very much.
Zhang Guangcan relied on the fact that he was a regular worker in the rubber factory, and when he was choosing a wife, he had a condescending attitude, as if he was an emperor choosing a concubine.
Because of his attitude, Xiang Baiwei always kept her distance from him, fearing that she would give him any wrong information.
But why is he here at this time? Yesterday, Jiang Sui said that since it was just the beginning of spring, every factory had many new production tasks and was very busy. As a worker in the rubber factory, Zhang Guangcan should be working in the factory now.
Xiang Baiwei, who was constantly wondering in her heart, gave a polite smile: "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a while. Why didn't you go to work at the factory today?"
Zhang Guangcan smiled and walked into the yard without any hesitation: "I'm off duty today, and I passed by your house, so I thought of coming to see you."
They were not related in any way and their relationship was just average, so Xiang Baiwei didn't believe what Zhang Guangcan said at all.
No one comes to you for no reason. It's obvious on his face that he has something to ask for.
Xiang Baiwei was not in a hurry either. She took out the enamel mug specially used for guests and poured him a glass of water. She sat on the small stool and continued to peel peanuts, waiting patiently for Zhang Guangcan to express his intention.
For some unknown reason, Zhang Guangcan talked about this and that for nearly twenty minutes before he hesitantly talked about the real purpose of his visit to Xiang Baiwei today.
"I heard that your grain workshop is doing well? People in the East and West Villages are praising you, saying that you are hardworking and capable. You can bring in intellectuals to open a workshop that is praised by the office. You have brought great honor to Xiangjia Village."
Zhang Guangcan held the enamel pot and poured out flattering words one after another.
He smiled faintly at Bai Wei and did not respond.
What exactly does Zhang Guangcan want to say by going through so much trouble? After thinking about it, the only place that Xiang Baiwei could be remembered for is probably the grain workshop.
When the workshop business was booming a few years ago, many people came to her to seek out her as a relative. As for their purpose, they basically wanted to get a hand in the profitable workshop.
If I guessed correctly, Zhang Guangcan probably came here for the grain workshop.
After listening to the nonsense for twenty minutes, Xiang Baiwei's patience was running out, and the smile on her face faded a little: "Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, just speak up. Your ramblings are making my head spin. I really can't figure out why you came to see me today."
Zhang Guangcan rubbed the handle of the enamel pot with his thumb with thick calluses, then grinned and smiled shyly: "It's nothing, it's just that your grain workshop is doing very well. I really didn't expect you to be such a great person, so I thought..."
Xiang Baiwei was not surprised at all.
"Brother Zhang, you have a formal job and a stable job. You can't be so desperate. Do you want to run this workshop with me? My workshop can't compare to your stable job."
She actually had a reason for saying that.
When they were dating, Zhang Guangcan kept talking about his iron rice bowl. When he got excited, he even mocked Xiang Baiwei's three brothers, saying that none of them were good enough.
It was just because Xiang Baiwei's three brothers had also gone to the rubber factory to look for jobs, but unfortunately they were not hired.
Because Zhang Guangcan knew this, he had a subtle sense of superiority in front of Xiang Baiwei.
Xiang Baiwei remembered this incident in her heart. Although Zhang Guangcan was a good person, Xiang Baiwei hated his condescending attitude.
"Hey, it's not me. I'm doing a good job and I can't bear to quit. If I really quit, my parents will definitely beat me with a stick."
It seemed that Zhang Guangcan had forgotten that he had once mocked Xiang Baiwei's three brothers during the blind date.
"Then why did you come to me today and talk about the grain workshop every other sentence? I thought you wanted to cooperate with me too." Xiang Baiwei was curious and wanted to know why Zhang Guangcan came to her.
"I have a relative who also wants to do this, and asked me how to do it. I thought your workshop is doing well, so I came to learn from you."
Zhang Guangcan said as he took out a bag of fruit candies from his arms. "This is what my relative bought from a department store in the city. It's so rare. I've never seen such a big bag of candies in my life."
Xiang Baiwei looked away from the bag of fruit candy in front of her and looked at Zhang Guangcan with a half-smile: "Is it really your relative who wants to open a workshop? Why do I feel like it's you who wants to do it?"
Zhang Guangcan, whose secret was exposed, smiled awkwardly: "I still have work to do in the factory, so I can't take care of it."
This excuse couldn't fool Bai Wei.
Jiang Sui worked in both school and factory, and he also opened a workshop in partnership.
She suspected that Zhang Guangcan wanted to open a workshop and get a piece of the pie because of this.
If I remember correctly, Zhang Guangcan's family had repeatedly inquired about how much money Xiang Baiwei's workshop made.
"Brother Zhang..."
"Oh, are there guests at home?" Jiang Sui pushed open the door and pushed his bicycle into the yard. He nodded to Zhang Guangcan who stood up immediately and smiled, "Who is this?"
Zhang Guangcan awkwardly extended his hand: "I'm Zhang Guangcan from Licun, a worker at the rubber factory. We sat together and chatted while watching a movie before."
Today, a new peripheral arrived. It is the thermos cup that I am most satisfied with. I like things with good looks! Find an opportunity to draw a prize. I hope you are the lucky one!
