Chapter 58 I hope you pass smoothly
After lunch.
Chen Jinyue went to the factory.
According to the construction schedule, all the sleeping bags can be delivered today.
After counting the quantity, we found a fleet to transport it to another place.
She sat bored in the warehouse waiting for delivery, and from time to time she checked her phone to see if there was any new news online.
But I am very disappointed, every time I see fresh insults.
After a while, she was too lazy to watch and lay in the rocking chair, taking a nap with a small fan in front of her.
I don’t know how long it took.
Chen Jinyue was awakened by the subtle sound of wheels rolling on the ground.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure pushing a cart in.
Jiang Qian'an came to pick up things several times, but he always came back empty-handed because the money had been paid but the goods had not yet been delivered.
This time another large box was pushed in.
Chen Jinyue's sleepiness had all gone. "Are you here? Is there anything new you want?"
She paused and muttered quietly, "If it's not too much trouble, I'll help you with the shopping. The factory is closed for the time being."
The impact of public opinion this time was far greater than she had imagined.
Although her orders will not be affected, the factory may not be unaffected.
It would be fine if the workers talked about her behind her back, but if they retaliated against the products, she would have nowhere to seek justice.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Qian'an didn't hear what she muttered and asked subconsciously.
Chen Jinyue shook his head and stood up. "Do you need anything new?"
Jiang Qi'an also hurriedly shook his head and handed the box to her, "This is a gift from General Xiao, General Xiao, and the soldiers outside the door as a thank you for the milk tea."
Chen Jinyue, “???”
It’s just a cup of milk tea, what gift should I give in return?
While she was confused, Jiang Qian'an had already opened the box and started introducing it from the top.
"This is something General Xiao gave you. It belonged to Madam Xiao," Jiang Qian'an relayed. "General Xiao heard you were short of money and guessed you were facing a difficult situation. He said he was being presumptuous, considering himself an elder, and gave it back to Miss Chen, hoping you'd be able to get through this."
Chen Jinyue stared blankly at the nanmu comb inlaid with hollow silver and gold threads.
I didn't realize how priceless this thing was, I was just suddenly struck by the phrase 'passed smoothly'.
Seeing Chen Jinyue's silence, Jiang Qi'an hurriedly continued to explain, "In our place, elders give combs as gifts to express encouragement and hope. It may not be expensive, but it's a token of General Xiao's heart..."
"I know." Chen Jinyue interrupted him, pursed his lips and took it, "Thank General Xiao for me."
Jiang Qian'an felt relieved when he saw her accept it.
He was also worried that she would dislike the things and look down on them.
General Xiao’s gift was easy to come by, but Jiang Qian’an was a little embarrassed to present other people’s gifts.
The border is really barren.
A piece of stone with a strange shape became a treasure collected by the soldiers.
Although he was embarrassed, it was the soldiers' good intentions after all, so he still gritted his teeth and conveyed the message to them.
"I'm sorry, we don't have anything valuable. The clothes we wear and the food we eat are all from you, girl. These are the only things we can offer to express our gratitude."
“…”
Chen Jinyue didn't say anything, but just lowered his eyes and stared at the box.
The solid ball of snow, which looked like something unknown, was placed crookedly in the box.
There was also a wooden box that was ugly in workmanship but clumsily cute.
A copy of the Thousand Character Classic with the edges curled up.
Among all the strange-shaped things, there was a broken winter plum blossom.
The winter plum blossom was pink, with only one petal open, still stained with water droplets from melted snow. Several other buds had turned black, clearly frostbitten and unlikely to bloom again.
This might be the only touch of color at the border, but they gave it to her without hesitation...
There was an indescribable feeling in my heart, swelling and full, spreading to every part of my body, dispelling the chill brought by the rumors.
"If the girl finds it an eyesore, she can deal with it herself. We..."
"I love it, thank them for me!"
Chen Jinyue raised his eyes and smiled relaxedly.
Jiang Qian'an looked at that smile and felt that it was even brighter and more dazzling than a plum blossom blooming in the snow.
He also laughed, "As long as the girls like it, they will be very happy."
"Have you gone to reconcile with General Xiao and the others?" Chen Jinyue suddenly interrupted, rarely asking about their progress. "Have you won the battle yet? Are you resting?"
"We are waiting for this batch of sleeping bags and military boots. The further north we go, the colder it gets. The tents are old and the soldiers can't bear it." Jiang Qian'an explained.
Chen Jinyue thought about the tents that were being trial-produced in the factory. "Then wait a minute. Next time, come and get your military boots. I'll show you something good that's perfect for your march!"
Jiang Qian'an looked delighted. "Thank you very much, young lady. If it's useful, you can name the price!"
They had just taken over Yanmen County and looted a group of wealthy barbarian merchants, so they still had a lot of exquisite items.
It can be exchanged for a lot of food and supplies.
"The price is negotiable. Thank you for your gifts today. I don't have anything prepared. I will treat you to delicious food next time!" Chen Jinyue smiled.
Jiang Qi'an was a little embarrassed, "Miss, you don't have to be so polite."
…
After sending out the sleeping bag and the compressed biscuits that had been produced for a long time, Chen Jinyue sorted out her gifts again.
She put the snowball in a container so that the water would not be lost even if it melted.
She found a small vase to put the plum blossom in.
This was not the first time she received items from their border, but before she had always quickly put them away in the courtyard after checking them. This was the first time she held them in her hands for a long time.
The temperature of that strange-shaped stone was colder than iron.
This gave her a more concrete understanding of the extreme cold over there.
Chen Jinyue held the stone and thought for a while, then decided to go to the countryside again, buy more vegetables and meat, and treat them to a hot pot.
When she took out her phone to order hot pot base, she found that there were many unread messages from when she was asleep.
Greetings from college roommates.
Encouragement from the mentor.
Another thing is that Old Man Qian’s comfort was very direct.
[Girl, don't bother with those people online. They're just idle and comment on other people's affairs without knowing the whole story! You've already bought a shop in the provincial capital, so why not start your own business there?]
[By the way, your shop has completed all the paperwork. When do you think you can come and open it?]
Perhaps thinking that he would eventually settle in that antique street, Mr. Qian added her to a group after sending the message.
Several people in the group are acquaintances who have bought things from her.
I gave Chen Jinyue my business card, but I never received any contact from him.
Now that people have been pulled in, everyone quickly clicked to add friends, and then when they saw that it was not approved, they started chatting in the group -
