Chapter 088 It's not easy for an orphan and a widow
Liu Feifei calmly leaned forward to block the man's sight.
The director coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Yes, but let's be fair. Even if you are the niece of Deputy Factory Manager Li, the price should be what it is. Don't dare to be a parasite of the country."
"Okay, then I'll charge you the price of your nephew moving things. Don't worry, I promise that I won't deduct a penny from your canteen."
Liu Feifei also responded with a smile.
The director's face was not good.
Few people in the factory knew that his nephew got married and took a lot of intact tables, chairs and benches from the canteen, saying that he would return them after the wedding banquet. As a result, the stinky boy sold the tables, chairs and benches to neighbors at a discount without his knowledge.
By the time he knew about it, the couple had almost spent all their money.
He was so angry that he had no choice but to ask his nephew to make up the money. The couple had just gotten married and didn't have much money. It would also cause a quarrel between the couple. He had no choice but to deal with the broken tables and chairs secretly. Because they were relatives, he only spent five yuan on more than 20 sets of tables and chairs.
Liu Feifei stared at him. The director's face changed several times, and finally he smiled and said.
"Uncle is joking with you. If you want one or two sets, it will be considered as a gift from uncle. If you want more than five sets, you really have to pay, otherwise I can't report to the factory."
He laughed, and Liu Feifei also laughed.
"My uncle still loves me. My second uncle asked me to pay for it, but he is not as generous as my uncle."
The girl's long black hair was tied into a high ponytail. Fan Qingyi just watched the ponytail swinging back and forth, full of vigor and vitality.
She was extremely jealous.
The director was coaxed by Liu Feifei's words. Although he knew that the girl had something else to say, he could only bite the bullet and go ahead.
"Haha, girl, go ahead and pick it."
Liu Feifei thanked her and pulled Fan Qingyi to the back of the cafeteria.
The director looked at Fan Qingyi's back, frowned again, and murmured in a low voice, "She's pretty, but she doesn't look like a little girl. I'll ask her when I have a chance."
The two picked out three sets in the canteen warehouse, planning to put one under the shade of the tree in the yard, so that they can sit and eat in the cool, and it can also be used as a study desk for the two children. The other two will
be placed in the house, so that they can eat in the house when it's cold.
The remaining one will be used when the stall is set up, because it's not good for people to stand when they come to eat.
It's really missing some limbs. After searching for a long time, the two only found one intact table and two intact benches, and the others were all missing legs.
Liu Feifei comforted Fan Qingyi, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll call my brother over later and ask him to fix these table legs to ensure that they can be used without delay."
"Feifei, no need. It's too much of a bother for you."
Fan Qingyi thought she could try to repair it. Brother Wenfeng had repaired the tables, chairs and benches at home. She had seen it and it didn't look that difficult... right?
Liu Feifei waved her hand, "What kind of trouble is this? That kid can't do other things, but he can definitely give a thumbs up to repairing things."
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Fan Qingyi.
"Sister-in-law, are you worried that it's inconvenient for him to go to the courtyard
alone?" Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, and Liu Feifei had already explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely go with him, and then we will go together. With just these few guys, we can definitely get it done before dark."
She was so enthusiastic that Fan Qingyi couldn't refuse.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Then... wait until I clean up the yard, I will treat you to dinner."
"Okay, the food cooked by sister-in-law is delicious, I've been thinking about it. By the way, sister-in-law, have you thought about what food to sell?"
"I have thought about it, let's try scallion pancakes first..."
The two chatted and laughed, put the selected tables, chairs and benches together, counted the legs of the benches, and stopped only after making sure there were no missing ones.
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some more things you need for cooking. By the way, second sister-in-law, don't you also have to buy chopping boards and racks?"
Fan Qing nodded.
Liu Feifei clasped her hands together and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place where you can definitely find these things, and the price will definitely be much cheaper than if you buy new ones."
Liu Feifei pulled Fan Qing away in a hurry.
"Feifei..."
Fan Qing felt sore and soft in his heart.
No wonder the youngest daughter said that Liu Feifei was pure and kind at heart and was the person who helped them the most.
It's hard not to like a girl like this.
Liu Feifei took Fan Qingyi to the farms and breeding farms opened by the town government for the benefit of civil servants.
The rack trucks that were damaged and replaced based on their age were all thrown into the warehouse.
Most civil servants are paid by the government, and no one really works in the fields, so these things are just left here, unless they have some poor relatives in the countryside, and they will try to buy them back home.
But many people don't want others to know that they have some poor relatives in the countryside, so these carts are accumulated.
After the tractor and agricultural tricycle were introduced, these carts were even less popular.
When Liu Feifei said she wanted them, the eyes of the people in charge of managing the warehouse lit up.
"Let's make it clear first. Although the cart is broken and retired, it still has basic functions. The frame is only five dollars, and the wheels are twenty dollars each, which is ten cents cheaper."
"It's a broken one that no one wants, and you want twenty-five?"
Liu Feifei shook her head, "The frame and wheels together, twenty."
The man glared.
"Why don't you go and grab it? At least twenty-three, it can't be cheaper."
Liu Feifei put her hands on her hips, "Your tires are rotten like honeycomb coal, and I still need to buy tires. You have to give me the money for the tires. A good tire costs a lot of money, twenty!"
"Hey, you little girl..."
"Or let's go buy new ones. The ones we can't want are so expensive. It's better to buy new ones."
She pulled Fan Qingyi and was about to leave.
The second sister-in-law had three children to take care of. It was not easy for an orphan and a widow. She would do whatever it took to help the second sister-in-law save some money.
The man laughed in anger, "Go out and take a look. A new cart costs at least a hundred. I'm giving you a very cheap price..."
"Twenty."
Liu Feifei turned her head and chuckled at the man.
The man waved his hand, "Let's go."
Liu Feifei didn't leave, "However, you can do this for my uncle's sake. No one wants this broken tire. If you deal with it, won't the higher-ups think highly of you? I'll raise the price a little more, to twenty-one, and you can let us tinker with it and find a tire that's not completely rotten to replace it.
" The man, "...Does your uncle know about this?"
Liu Feifei's eyes rolled, "My uncle asked us to come. He saw that my sister was short of money, and he said you would definitely give us a bargain..."
The man looked at her for a long time, and then looked at Fan Qingyi who had been silent.
Fan Qingyi was a little nervous, raised his eyes and quickly grinned at him.
The man, "..."
Is he that scary?
"Okay, since your uncle has spoken, I will definitely give you this favor. Go ahead and pick one. Twenty-two, no more bargaining allowed."
Liu Feifei sighed and pulled Fan Qingyi inside.
Soon they picked a 60% new cart, and the tires only had two or three holes.
He whispered to Fan Qingyi, "Just go back and ask my brother to fix it."
