"Third sister-in-law, come in quickly, where is Xiaobao? I thought you brought Xiaobao with you."
Gu Qingmeng had prepared the money. Xiaobao Pei Li had never been home before. Children here had to give red envelopes when they visited relatives for the first time. If they didn't give red envelopes, they had to give a few eggs.
She didn't know what the explanation was. It was Pei Xinghe who told her about this. Gu Qingmeng knew that he was afraid that Zhou Fang would suddenly bring the child to visit and she would not know anything.
"He just fell asleep. I made some Yuanxiao for you. I'm going back now. If you're scared because Lao Si is on a business trip, come find me. I'll stay with you."
After saying that, Zhou Fang walked out. Gu Qingmeng wanted to bring her some salted duck eggs and kimchi, but she couldn't even stop him.
I guess she was worried about leaving Xiaobao alone at home, so she ran back after delivering the Yuanxiao to herself.
Looking at the Yuanxiao in the small winnowing basket, Gu Qingmeng was a little curious. She knew how to make glutinous rice balls, but she didn't know how to make Yuanxiao that was shaken out.
Today is only the fourth day of the New Year, but my third sister-in-law has already prepared Yuanxiao. She also has glutinous rice flour in her space. Should we make some Yuanxiao?
She likes to eat the ones with black sesame filling. She will ask Xiaohua if she can make it when she comes.
Just as Gu Qingmeng thought of Pei Xiaohua, she saw her holding a big bag and supporting Su Xue as they walked into the yard.
"Hehe! I told you that you couldn't sleep in today. Your husband repeatedly told me to come in the afternoon yesterday, but I refused?" Su Xue complained bluntly.
"Sister-in-law, that's fourth brother." Pei Xiaohua was too tired to complain to her sister-in-law, and she just said whatever she thought.
"Sister-in-law, is there any work you need me to do? Brother Si asked me to help with the work, and I will definitely take good care of you two! Brother Si also gave me twenty yuan, so why do you need to pay me?"
Pei Xiaohua originally wanted to return the money to Gu Qingmeng, but then she thought it was not appropriate, so she asked her brother to buy some pork and fine grains. She must take care of her two sisters-in-law and make them fat and healthy this month!
"Just take what your fourth brother gives you. He's rich, so if you need pocket money, just ask him!"
Gu Qingmeng likes Pei Xiaohua very much. The girl is quiet and gentle but has lively eyes. Every time she sees her, she smiles before she speaks.
With Su Xue around, the three of them were so busy all day that they barely ate a bite of dinner because they ate too many snacks!
Sometimes she roasts chestnuts, sometimes she roasts sweet potatoes, sometimes she wants to eat roasted pine nuts, and before evening comes she suddenly wants to eat wolf tooth potatoes!
Gu Qingmeng and Pei Xiaohua also ate, so by the end of the night, no one had eaten much.
"Sister, why do you eat so little? Are you missing your brother-in-law? You have to eat more, otherwise your brother-in-law will be sad when he comes back because you are hungry and thin." Gu Guoliang persuaded Gu Qingmeng.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
If her brother hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that Pei Xinghe was on a business trip.
Ever since Su Xue came, she has been busy preparing food and has long forgotten about Pei Xinghe.
Pei Xinghe was eating dumplings while holding his lunch box! His wife brought him two boxes of dumplings. He ate one box at noon and saved the remaining box for dinner.
I don’t know if he can sleep well without his wife around, but he can’t sleep well. He is not used to sleeping without his wife in his arms. They are sitting on hard seats, and he felt a little uncomfortable after just one day.
Isn’t it true that you can’t suffer?
But he couldn't stand having chickens and ducks on the train. Anyone who smells it knows the smell.
Can’t open windows in winter? Who understands this feeling?
The most uncomfortable thing is that there is someone on the luggage rack. Isn’t this a nuisance?
He wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, and he didn't care what his colleagues thought of him, because he had money.
"Xiao Pei! You young people just don't know how to live. Sleeper tickets are so expensive! I have to make up eleven dollars these few days, which is enough to feed the whole family for a month."
The speaker is Hu, the deputy director of the logistics department of the pharmaceutical factory. He is the leader of this grassland trip. There is really no other fault with this man. He is warm-hearted and kind. Even stingy is not enough to describe him.
Pei Xinghe finished his last bite of dumplings, closed his lunch box, and said, "Deputy Director Hu, my wife is an educated youth from Beijing."
"Ah!... The educated youth are good! They are well-educated." Deputy Director Hu was stunned.
He was talking about wasting money. What did Pei Xinghe mean when he told him that his wife was an educated youth?
"Hahaha! Deputy Director Hu, Xiao Pei means his wife is rich."
Liang Fengshou said with a smile, and did not forget to give Pei Xinghe a thumbs up?
Like Pei Xinghe, he is a clerk in the logistics department. Liang Fengshou's wife is an obstetrician in the municipal hospital, and Pei Xinghe goes to him to buy milk powder.
Almost everyone in their logistics department has a complex network of relationships, and they often travel to purchase things for the factory.
Selling rare items back and forth could bring in a considerable income, so they were not short of money. He also wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, but this time he was accompanied by Deputy Director Hu.
Deputy Director Hu loves to preach and can spend three years on one thing. They don't like to go on business trips with him, they don't eat or sleep well, and they want to spend any travel expenses as much as possible.
Logically speaking, he should be able to buy a sleeper ticket at his level, but he just can't bear to spend the money, even if the money is for the factory to spend. This person is very confused.
The only advantage of going out with him is that you can buy cheap things. He is a master at bargaining and can drive the seller crazy as long as he takes action.
With Liang Fengshou's interruption, Deputy Director Hu stopped talking. He still felt that these young people didn't know how to live. What would happen to the factory when he retired?
No one can save money for the factory. The amount of money the factory gives to workers as welfare is limited. If you save a penny, you can buy more things. At first glance, this little extra thing doesn't matter.
But the more the better, and the more you have, the more you eat.
Alas, they all did not understand his heart.
It was not until midnight that Pei Xinghe finally got a sleeper ticket, and Liang Fengshou followed closely behind. They arrived at the grassland twelve days later. Except for the two of them, everyone else sat in hard seats.
When they arrived at the place, everyone looked pale without exception. Deputy Director Hu was so exhausted that he fell ill and lay in the guesthouse with a high fever.
Fortunately, Pei Xinghe brought some medicine. After taking two fever-reducing pills, the man woke up, but that was all he could do.
Is it impossible to go to the grassland? I can only stay in the guesthouse to recuperate.
Pei Xinghe and his team followed the guide into the grassland. Deputy Director Hu was not there, and they thought that the items purchased this time would be higher than the budget.
Unexpectedly, the final transaction price would be 20% lower than the budget, because Pei Xinghe proposed a barter, exchanging the purchased medicinal materials for the finished medicines in the factory, and the price of the medicines was still compensated according to the market price.
This made the colleagues who were responsible for purchasing medicinal materials very happy. They kept thanking Pei Xinghe along the way and even wanted Pei Xinghe to work in their purchasing department.
Pei Xinghe refused, so the logistics department has nothing to do!
The key is that he can sell goods. The purchase of medicinal materials has come to an end, and their logistics department will go to purchase dried meat to provide benefits to the workers.
