Chapter 96: Calculation
Nowadays, when people eat at state-owned restaurants, there are very few leftovers.
Chu Hong and the others drank up even the noodle soup before putting down their bowls and chopsticks.
Uncle Song wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I'm full. Dad, you drive the ox cart back first. Chu Hong and I will deliver the rice to the factory."
He was particularly willing to come here because he could interact with the factory leaders, broaden his horizons, and learn a few tips on how to behave.
Grandpa Song gave a few worried instructions before driving the ox cart away.
Uncle Song also went to the enamel factory with Chu Hong.
Director Xiao didn't expect Chu Hong to be so fast, so he asked someone to bring a scale to weigh the bags one by one.
Chu Hong was also counting with a pen and paper. She looked up at Director Xiao who was also counting and said with a smile, "Director, there are 32 bags in total, which is 3,178 kilograms."
Director Xiao nodded, but still carefully calculated it again. After confirming that it was correct, he said with satisfaction: "Comrade Chu Hong, you are quite fast, right?"
Chu Hong said modestly: "The main reason is that many villagers have long wanted to buy the enamel washbasins from your factory, but they were reluctant to spend the money. Now that they have come across a good product at a low price, they will definitely want to change it."
"But now I have already bought what I wanted to buy, and I will have to go to each village to slowly exchange for the rest."
She certainly couldn't let her boss think that this would be easy to accomplish.
Otherwise, if such a good thing happens again in the future, it will not be my turn.
This is also thanks to the leaders, who all directly buy processed rice and do not understand the tricks involved.
Another thing is that the leaders all have salaries and tickets, so even now they would not be reduced to eating rice bran.
Director Xiao thought so too, gave a few words of encouragement and prepared to leave.
Chu Hong called him and said, "Director, we have to take these bags away."
"How about you change the rice bag? You can also take the opportunity to check this batch of rice?"
Thanks to Secretary Song for being thoughtful and buying thirty sacks yesterday.
This is not enough. The rest are from home and borrowed from my second uncle's family.
She must be frugal and stop wasting money on sacks.
Director Xiao was tempted. This batch of defective enamel washbasins had caused them and other leaders to be criticized by the head factory.
If anything goes wrong with the rice again, I, who am in charge of this matter, will be in trouble.
He didn't want to lose his stable job, so he immediately agreed: "I'll have someone buy some sacks right away."
He has decided that not only this time, but every time they deliver rice, he will change the grain bags himself and take the opportunity to check it.
When they returned, there were only empty bags left on their ox cart. Uncle Song drove the ox cart and looked back with a longing look on his face: "I heard from your father that the town is going to be abolished and a city will be established? I envy them for having household registration and grain certificates."
Chu Hong smiled and said, "Uncle, when you buy a house in town, you can move your household registration here."
"What are you talking about in your sleep?" Uncle Song laughed at her, "Nowadays, private transactions of houses are not allowed. They are all allocated by the Housing Authority."
Chu Hong also rolled her eyes at him: "Then why don't you think about it, it's only been a few years since private transactions were prohibited?"
"After a few years, the wind direction will definitely change."
Uncle Song was half-believing and half-doubting: "What you said makes sense."
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, he recalled the past ten years ago, and sighed: "Your mother was also a lady from a wealthy family. She went out either in a sedan or a rickshaw."
"You eat all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but you still think pork is not tasty?"
"The clothes are more exquisite..."
Chu Hong told the truth: "Uncle, with your smart brain, in a dozen years, you can live the good life you said."
Encountering the good times of reform and opening up is like a pig standing on the wind, which can be blown into the sky.
Uncle Song would definitely not believe what she said: "You are quite good at comforting people, right?"
I also sighed: "You are really getting better at talking now. I think we have the same temper."
You have to know that at this time last year, Chu Hong knew that he went to the black market and was afraid that he would implicate her, so she asked Secretary Song and Grandpa Song to discipline him.
Chu Hong couldn't slap Song Chu Hong, so she could only sigh heavily: "Didn't going to Shencheng open your eyes? You will understand more."
Uncle Song suspected that she was fooling him: "Can these few days make you so smart?"
But I was very tempted: "How about I take Xiaowei with me?"
If possible, he would like to be smarter.
And I need it even more since I have my own stupid son.
Chu Hong couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, you are already very smart. People who are too smart are likely to be extremely smart."
"You damn girl..."
After a while, I saw a few villagers walking in front of me.
It turned out that the children who were hospitalized in the village would be discharged in the next two days.
Children nowadays are well-fed. When the doctor says the fever has subsided, they will be discharged from the hospital immediately, even if they are still coughing and having a runny nose.
Moreover, the adults and children from the other two families came back earlier yesterday afternoon, so today only one adult came back with the children.
In addition, Gu Ci and Chu Yan also went back with them.
Uncle Song warmly invited them to get in the car.
Nowadays, there is still a strong sense of human connection in the village. Not only will people from our own village, but even people from the neighboring village will be given a ride when they see them.
When Chu Hong saw Gu Ci smiling at her, she thought that this seemed to be her new lover, so how could she have forgotten about him?
However, in front of her uncle, she didn't dare to say much and just smiled back at him.
He did not treat Chu Yan differently, but started to tell the children about those accidents that are likely to happen, so as to prevent these kids from being too bold.
Family planning has not yet been implemented, and some families have many children, and they are all raised freely.
However, perhaps because of the famine in previous years, which damaged the foundation of many people, there are no families in Lingxia Village who have five or six children in a row.
It is also possible that the baby was born but not taken care of.
Chu Hong was already thinking about how to explain to her children the importance of safety and health.
The four children in the car, having experienced it themselves, all felt afraid.
We immediately made promises: "Sister, I will never go to the river to play on rainy or snowy days again."
In fact, they all have a phobia about the river now and want to stay away from it. Choking and suffocating in the water is too terrible.
Chu patted his tender and thin shoulders: "He corrects his mistakes as soon as he knows them, and he is a sensible little man."
"Aunt, I won't dare to do it again."
Chu Hong was very glad that she was of a higher generation than the little brat who called her by her name. She touched his head and acted like an elder: "I'm glad you're okay. You should be more careful next time."
"Sister Chu Hong, I was wrong."
Chu Hong scratched his nose and said in a friendly tone: "Next time I see you dare to go to the river, be careful I will beat your butt."
After hearing what they said, Chu Yan also wanted to apologize: "Sister Chu Hong, I will..."
Before he could finish, he saw Chu Hong winking at him. He looked at the uncle again.
