Chapter 239 If You Hadn’t Reminded Me



The next day,

Shu Miao slept until noon, curled up lazily in the quilt and didn't want to move.

It seemed that as long as she didn't get up, the pile of unfinished work in the office didn't belong to her.

Just when she was thinking of staying in bed a little longer, her stomach started to growl at an inopportune time.

Shu Miao sighed helplessly and had to struggle to sit up and get out of bed.

The moment the curtains were opened, sunlight poured into the house unreservedly, covering a large area.

In an instant, the whole house was awakened by the warm sunlight, and the room was full of vitality and comfort.

It’s great, it’s another energetic day!

After a quick wash, Shu Miao decided to treat himself.

He happily devoured the only remaining portion of rice noodle rolls in the space.

After giving it a little grounding, he opened the door and went out.

At first glance, I was attracted by the gorgeous camellia in the vase on the table.

Its flowers are full and round, with petals overlapping each other, like a gorgeous dance dress.

Unlike the rich red of yesterday's roses, the camellia's red is of varying shades, just the right shade, as if gently expressing its own unique beauty.

Shu Miao leaned close to the camellia and smelled it. The elegant fragrance lingered around her nose, and her mood became even happier.

Only then did she have time to check the insulated lunch box on the dining table in the corner. The moment she opened the lid, a strong and delicious smell rushed towards her.

Seeing that it was the dish she had been thinking about for a long time, she couldn't help but smile...

Time flies, and the winter solstice has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The first snow of winter also arrived quietly.

Shu Miao ran outside excitedly and reached out to catch the falling snowflakes.

The snowflakes quickly melted into small drops of water in her palms, and the cold touch made her feel the breath of winter more vividly.

Unfortunately, the employees who stayed in the company were too diligent and the snow in the factory had already been cleared away.

Even if you want to play in the snow, you have to go outside the factory.

Fortunately, all the company's matters have been dealt with, and she had planned to return to the village in the next two days.

It’s better to come back today than to wait for another day!

But before going back, she had to symbolically purchase some New Year's goods, otherwise how could she explain why she hadn't cooked for a month?

Moreover, most of the cooked food in the space is left over, so it is better to replenish it quickly.

He immediately turned around and went back to the office, taking out a three-piece set of hat, scarf and gloves.

He pinched the furry pink bear ears on the hat, made up his mind, closed his eyes, and put it on his head.

And I silently greeted He Li in my heart, can't you buy something normal or practical?

Look at this bunch of fancy things. If you wear them alone without a companion, you will feel a little embarrassed. What should you do?

Then he picked up the thermos bucket that was more than one meter high and left through his own side door.

The first stop is naturally the state-owned hotel.

We had mutton soup, braised pork, meat buns, dumplings, and wontons. We had everything we wanted.

As for why she is so skilled, of course it is because she is an old customer.

Whenever a factory in the town is put into use, it is the most tiring time for the villagers. For the sake of their physical and mental health, she directly contacts the manager of the state-owned restaurant to place an order and order a delicious meal to reward them.

For state-owned restaurants, they have long been accustomed to large orders popping up from time to time.

Because the distance is close enough, they even offer door-to-door delivery service.

In fact, it wasn't that Shu Miao had to choose the state-owned restaurant. It was just that his family was the only one in the whole town that cooked.

The others are either small desserts or snacks, which are not filling at all, so you can only choose a restaurant.

As the space's inventory was replenished, Shu Miao began her next move.

Her White Rabbit candy!

Because there were no high-quality dairy cows in China in the early years and milk sources were scarce, White Rabbit milk candy was basically not sold overseas and was not available except in a few well-developed cities.

It was not until recent years that it was supplied in small quantities in city-level cities.

Nowadays, it is even available in this small town, but of course, the quantity is very small.

It was thanks to the chef from the state-owned restaurant who told her, otherwise she wouldn’t know about it!

In fact, when she was in Beijing, although almost all stores sold milk candy, she had limited candy coupons and could not buy much.

Now that the company was established, I gradually found some ways that ordinary people didn’t know about and got a lot of bills.

In addition to distributing it to employees as benefits, she naturally kept some as well.

Considering that the supply and marketing cooperative was at the other end of the town, Shu Miao rode his bicycle there at full speed this time.

As soon as I entered the door, I asked for ten kilograms of White Rabbit.

The salesperson's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He glanced furtively outside the door and said reluctantly,

"Only five pounds..."

As for whether it was really only five kilograms, Shu Miao didn't care. After all, scarce things would always be wanted by people everywhere.

Looking at the salesperson's expression, you can tell that if the chef hadn't said that to her, all the White Rabbit milk candies would have been sold out by the staff inside.

"I want them all." Shu Miao put the money on the counter.

"Please pack it into packages of one pound each."

Seeing that she really took out the candy coupons, the salesperson finally gave up hope.

His hands moved faster instantly, hoping to get this annoying customer away quickly, so that she wouldn't have to take another look at those candies and feel even more sad and regretful.

Shu Miao had just walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative with the candy in her hand when a figure passed by her quickly.

She didn't think anything of it until the familiar voice reached her ears, causing her to subconsciously stop and look back.

"How is that possible! I just went home and the Kung Fu Candy is gone?"

Perhaps the man's questioning tone was too obvious, and the salesperson, who was already in a bad mood, immediately exploded.

"If you say no, then no. Who do you think you are? How dare you question me like that? Do you really think you're that important?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Shu Miao immediately shouted, "I have some sugar here. I'll even it out for you."

The man might be really worried about the candy, and he immediately turned around to look when he heard this.

When he saw Shu Miao wearing a pink hat, he didn't recognize her at first, but just hurriedly came forward to thank her.

"Thank you so much, little girl. I'm so sorry, I can give you an extra 10% on the money."

Instead, Shu Miao was stunned by him calling her "little girl" all the time.

Thinking of something, he quickly took off his hat, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"No way? Brother Zheng? You didn't recognize me."

Zheng Yuan was obviously stunned. He looked at the hat, then at the girl, and started laughing too.

"Hi, it's you. I was wondering why you looked so familiar!"

Shu Miao glanced at the salesperson who was staring at them and motioned him to go out and talk.

The two of them stopped by the roadside, and Shu Miao immediately handed him two bags of candy. "Congratulations, Brother Zheng."

Zheng Yuan thought about the frequency of this girl's sending and receiving letters, and he probably knew about his resignation a long time ago. He did not try to hide it, but took it with a smile.

"Thanks."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I'd probably still be working diligently as a temporary worker who could be laid off at any time..."
