Chapter 079
The time before my visit always flies by very quickly. Yangchuan Road became extremely lively, and the Seventh Department Store at the intersection had already put up two red lanterns. The lantern was bright red, and it looked like the new equipment purchased this year.
The mother-in-law sitting across the door sat at the door and put out a large bamboo plaque. There were about ten pairs of tiger-head shoes in the bamboo plaque. They were all handmade by the mother-in-law in her spare time. She boldly displayed them during the year. They were red and red. The green color is very cute.
A large Jiefang truck drove into Yangchuan Road, with the words "Jinling Brewery Factory" spray-painted on the door.
"The barber shop is just ahead." Lin Siwei sat in the cab, majestic.
The driver is naturally Jiang Xinquan, the captain of the brewery. It was almost Chinese New Year, and the factory gave each person five kilograms of pork, two kilograms of sugar, two kilograms of soy sauce, and a box of Jinling liquor.
There were no interns originally, but was Lin Siwei an ordinary intern? Of course not.
The employees all received the items happily and pretended to be worried about how to take them home in a big way. This fanfare is very technical. It must not only show modesty and not take it seriously, but also let the neighbors know that our factory is awesome, our factory benefits are good, and our factory has been delivering goods for many years.
There were two young men in the workshop who patted their bicycle seats and showed courtesy to Lin Siwei with a look of disdain: "Comrade Xiaolin, it's hard to take it, I will send it back for you!"
Jiang Xinquan squeezed through the crowd and said loudly: "Siwei!" , Uncle will help you send it back. "
Who doesn't know that Jiang Xinquan is the boss of the brewery? When he calls himself uncle, he knows that Lin Siwei has many backers in the factory. The two young men are with the bicycle. He shrank back into the crowd.
Then Jiang Xinquan drove his large truck that could pull dozens of tons of cargo and helped Lin Siwei deliver more than ten kilograms of goods.
All you need is style.
Sure enough, the big truck stopped at the door of No. 281. The mother-in-law making tiger-toe shoes opposite was first shocked. She immediately stopped what she was doing and looked directly over her reading glasses.
I saw Lin Siwei moving large and small boxes from the cab, and my mother-in-law shouted from across the street: "Girl, the factory is giving out new year's goods." With
this shout, heads stuck out of several door windows.
"Yes!" Lin Siwei shouted loudly.
"What good things are they?" asked the uncle next door.
"Five pounds of meat, sugar, soy sauce, and liquor from our factory."
There were envious voices around. If nothing else happens, tomorrow half of Yangchuan Road will know what new year goods the General Brewery Factory has sent out.
This is what happens in small towns these days. Well-known state-owned manufacturers compete openly and covertly to see who has better profits and better employee benefits.
From the window on the second floor, Hu Qiaoyue heard her granddaughter's voice and opened the window.
"Siwei, is this the driver master from the factory?" She heard Lin Siwei mention that the team captain in the factory wanted to use his uncle's business license from Shaping County to open a stowage point, and she thought that this must be the driver named Chiang Kai-shek's convoy captain.
Jiang Xinquan was about to leave when he heard the old man's voice and poked his head out of the cab: "Hello, mother-in-law. There are so many things that are difficult to carry. I'll bring them back to Siwei."
"Thank you, come up and sit down and have a drink of water. "
Jiang Xinquan was not willing, he was polite in a loud voice, and finally said goodbye, driving away in his impressive big truck under the envious eyes of the neighbors.
...
Hu Qiaoyue felt at ease with the fact that Lin Siwei, an intern in the factory, also distributed new year's goods.
"My granddaughter has contributed to the factory. Not to mention New Year's goods, she deserves to be given bonuses."
Lin Siwei didn't care much. She was not in a hurry to make money at this moment. After coming here for nearly half a year, she has slowly gained a foothold, with the warmth of relatives, gradually clearer dreams, and people who care about her. She has integrated into this world, and even feels like she is a person of this world.
"Grandma, do you want to marinate this meat?" Lin Siwei asked.
"This is the hip meat. It's lean and lean. I'll cut some off and make braised pork for you tomorrow. Marinate the rest and you can send some to Fish Bone Alley." After Hu Qiaoyue finished speaking, she added, "I mean the Gu family in Fish Bone Lane."
Lin Siwei's heart moved. She still didn't know what kind of entanglement the Gu family had with her grandma. During this period, she went to Gu's house and spent time with her grandma. She felt that there was no resentment between the two parties and there was a tacit understanding.
It's really strange.
"Okay grandma, you can marinate it tomorrow and I will send it over after dinner."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone knocking on the door downstairs.
"Who is it?"
"Are you looking at it?" Hu Qiaoyue said.
Lin Siwei was curious and opened the window and looked down. I saw a familiar car parked on the street, and a man was moving things out of the car, one sack, another sack.
She knew this man, he was Gu Nianshen's driver.
So the person knocking on the door was Gu Nianshen? When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
"Who is it?" Hu Qiaoyue couldn't help but ask when she saw her hesitation.
Lin Siwei closed the window: "It's Uncle Gu, Gu Mingde's son."
Hu Qiaoyue was stunned.
There was another knock on the door, accompanied by Gu Nianshen's voice: "Is there anyone at home?"
"Shall I open the door?" Lin Siwei asked.
Hu Qiaoyue took a deep breath and nodded as if she had made up her mind.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Siwei shouted happily: "Uncle Gu, why are you here? I'm planning to go to Fishbone Lane tomorrow."
Gu Nianshen was very worried at first, but seeing Lin Siwei's appearance of no grudge, he felt more at ease. Moreover, when Lin Siwei said that he was going to Fishbone Lane, he must be going to the Gu family, not the Lin family.
He said, "Then I'm lucky enough to be here. It's the Chinese New Year, and I'm here to give you...and your grandma some New Year's goods."
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and the driver carried two big sacks to the door, but there was no one there. Didn't come in, just stayed far away.
Seeing that Gu Nianshen had no intention of leaving after delivering the things, Lin Siwei said, "Uncle Gu, could you please help me carry it up?"
"Okay." Gu Nianshen picked up a large sack in one hand and walked upstairs.
The sack looked dirty, and Lin Siwei could smell the smell of chicken, duck, and fish through the sack. At this moment, he was rubbing it against Gu Nianshen's clean and decent tunic without hesitation.
"Don't bring it up." Hu Qiaoyue was already standing at the entrance of the corridor at some point, looking at Gu Nianshen expressionlessly across the long stairs.
Gu Nianshen said: "Mr. Hu, it's just some New Year's goods, not valuable."
In fact, these New Year's goods are very valuable these days, but Gu Nianshen was afraid that Hu Qiaoyue would refuse again. This was not the first time he had been rejected, so he was already familiar with this dark corridor.
Hearing Gu Nianshen call his grandma "Teacher Hu," Lin Siwei felt that this fog would be lifted today.
But why did grandma let him in but not let him send things upstairs?
Hu Qiaoyue said calmly: "You can smell chicken shit and duck shit from a long way away. Don't take it upstairs. You have to take it to the market tomorrow and ask someone to kill it."
This meant that she was willing to accept the new year's goods. Gu Nianshen was overjoyed. He said loudly: "Okay, Teacher Hu. Let me carry the dry goods up for you."
As if by magic, he took out two more boxes of dry goods from the north and the south from behind, and happily went upstairs.
