Volume 1 Chapter 36 Keep a Low Profile
"Okay, you should get some rest. You have to go to the station early tomorrow morning."
Sheng's mother left his room, and the family prepared a lot of things for Sheng Wanze.
The next morning, Sheng's mother got up early and boiled all the eggs at home for him to eat on the train journey.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, the food can't be kept for long, so I only prepared two meals of rice and fried eggs for him.
The rest are some things that can be stored, such as cakes and steamed buns.
As a younger sister, Sheng Wanyan had to express her gratitude in some way, so she made five bottles of chili sauce for him to take away.
Sheng Wanze has a strong taste and has a special liking for chili sauce.
Sheng Wanyan hurried to work after finishing her work. She had just started working and couldn't take leave frequently.
Both Sheng's father and mother asked for leave to go to the train station. They could only sigh as they watched him leave.
"Go back."
Mother Sheng nodded. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to leave, especially since she would be back in October.
There are still five months left, and she has to prepare things for her son's wedding, as the situation is so tense now.
Since her family lives in the city, it is impossible to hold a wedding banquet. The only way is for the relatives to get together for a meal and get to know each other.
Since we can’t hold a wedding banquet, we can only provide for Pan Yue in other ways, so that she won’t feel disappointed as soon as she gets married.
As soon as Sheng Wanyan got to work, she received a wink from Wu Jiaxiu, and Sheng Wanyan blinked.
Wu Jiaxiu understood immediately, it seemed that the fabric had been found.
When she went to the bathroom, she saw Wu Jiaxiu following her out, and Sheng Wanyan whispered something to her.
"I have one piece of defective cloth. The price is the same as last time."
"real?"
Wu Jiaxiu grabbed her arm and Sheng Wanyan nodded.
Wu Jiaxiu was excited when she heard this. She would take the cloth back to see how much her sister-in-law wanted. If they didn't need so much, she could keep the rest to make clothes.
"Yes, I'll bring it to you tomorrow at the same time as last time."
"Okay, Wanyan, thank you so much."
Sheng Wanyan helped her a lot. As a new daughter-in-law, if she didn't have some abilities that other sisters-in-law didn't have, she would be easily bullied.
Although she has a salary, her husband is the second child in the family. This middle position makes him most vulnerable to grievances.
Although the husband is a worker, everyone in the family is smiling on the surface.
But you don’t know what ideas anyone in the family has.
So if she wasn't more assertive and capable, their family would be bullied to death in the future.
"You're welcome."
Sheng Wanyan has a lot of supplies in her space, but she doesn't intend to sell a large amount of supplies on the black market like the heroine in the novel.
She has been in this era for a month, and she has also witnessed the wisdom of the people of this era.
None of them is stupid, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is a typical example.
In this age of severe material shortage, how could others not suspect you when you take out so many materials to sell every time!
Who will allow you to disrupt the market rhythm and prices?
Besides, can people in the black market be stupid?
If you are really stupid, how can you survive in the black market in this strict era?
She never does anything without confidence, and it's okay for her to do some small things to make life better at home.
Just save some starting capital for yourself in the future.
But she can't sell supplies in large quantities and establish connections with the black market.
Who knows what might go wrong and end up getting yourself into trouble.
If you have such a huge treasure, you should be low-key and cautious, instead of acting in a high-profile manner.
With her own abilities, as long as she is given the opportunity, she can seize it and build a Shengshi Group.
There is no need to take risks during such a sensitive period. It’s not like the whole family is destitute and about to starve to death.
What's more, she didn't intend to live in the cage of the Sheng family like she did in her previous life.
She wants to be a free bird, do what she wants, and live for herself in this life.
As long as her family is healthy and well, she will have no regrets even if there is no wealth and glory in the afterlife.
Sheng Wanyan returned home and took out ten eggs from the space. All the meat and eggs in the house were gone.
Even if their family can't eat meat now, they can eat some eggs to supplement nutrition.
The steamed eggs don’t have a strong smell and the neighbors can’t smell it either.
As soon as I got back, I saw that Sheng's mother was not in a good mood. It must be because Sheng Wanze had returned to the army and she was reluctant to let him go.
"Let's eat."
There was a bowl of steamed corn bread, a bowl of egg custard, and a bowl of cold vegetables and chili sauce pickled by grandma on the table.
The whole family was not picky at all. The chili sauce was fragrant enough and tasted much better when eaten with the steamed buns.
The steamed corn bread of that era was really rough. It was difficult to swallow and it would hurt my throat when it got stuck in my throat.
No matter how bad the food tastes, it is better than starving. The Sheng family has been through hard times, so how could they complain?
Sheng Wanyan rode a bicycle to wait for Wu Jiaxiu near the cotton mill early in the morning, but Wu Jiaxiu still came with her lover.
A piece of cloth was 30 feet long and cost fifty cents per foot. Wu Jiaxiu gave her 15 yuan.
Wu Jiaxiu still wanted to take Sheng Wanyan to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, but this time Sheng Wanyan really didn't want to go.
Nowadays, a food coupon is very valuable, and Wu Jiaxiu is a married woman, so she feels embarrassed to take advantage of others.
Seeing that she was determined not to go, Wu Jiaxiu could only go to the cafeteria at noon and get her a bowl of mung bean soup.
The weather is very stuffy now, rainy and humid, and it is really comfortable to drink a bowl of mung bean soup.
This mung bean soup is really sweet, very sweet. Sheng Wanyan just feels that the food of this era is very real.
Everyone was a little curious when they saw Wu Jiaxiu specially bring back a portion of mung bean soup for Sheng Wanyan.
But this is someone else's business and it doesn't affect work, so there's nothing to ask.
It’s just that Niu Fangli was a little curious, and she thought of something and looked at Sheng Wanyan with some enthusiasm.
It’s just that I’m in the office now, so it’s not convenient to ask. I can ask after get off work.
Sheng Wanyan has been knitting a sweater for several days. She is not very fast, but her knitting is very neat.
The top is now half finished. This one is for Grandma Sheng, and she made it bigger specially so that Grandma Sheng wouldn't have to worry about it being tight around her body and interfering with her daily behavior. She would feel uncomfortable even raising her hand.
Sheng Wanyan was knitting a sweater leisurely, while Wu Jiaxiu was cracking melon seeds stealthily and looking outside from time to time, fearing that Director Li would come in suddenly.
“Dear colleagues…”
Sheng Wanyan immediately put the sweater into the drawer, and Wu Jiaxiu put the melon seeds back into her pocket.
The others also hid what they had in their hands. It really was as if whatever you wished for came true.
Director Li walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. Everyone sat very straight and looked at him.
"A new month has arrived. We need a new copy of the slogans for the notice board in the factory. Each of you should write one."
"Okay, Director Li."
Director Li nodded with satisfaction. He was going to have a meeting with the factory leaders later.
I put the bag under my arm on my desk, took out my notebook and pen and went to the meeting room.
Everyone stopped being lazy and took out paper and pen to start writing new promotional slogans. After all, the work assignment had come and they had to complete it well, right?
