Aunt Xu didn't come today, saying she had something to do at home.
Jiang Wanwan thanked the aunt, but felt a little embarrassed because the place Aunt Xu took her to last time was her son's home.
She knew that the things must have been found by Aunt Xu's son, but Aunt Xu was not at home, so she was still a little scared to go alone.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Wanwan finally walked towards the textile factory’s staff quarters.
In this day and age, wool is harder to get than cotton. If she doesn't go today, and someone else buys it, then asking for help will be a piece of cake, but she will regret it if she can't get it.
Arriving at the gate of the family compound, Jiang Wanwan took two deep breaths and knocked on the door.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the yard, and a man said in a low voice, "Here they come."
When the gate opened, the man in the yard was seen to be Aunt Xu's son. He seemed to be resting at home. He was not wearing a coat, only a light gray sweater.
Seeing Jiang Wanwan at the door, Chen Hai's expression eased a little, and he obviously knew why she came.
"Come in, I'll get you something."
He turned around and went into the house without saying a word, which made Jiang Wanwan secretly relieved.
Because it was an unfair transaction, Jiang Wanwan closed the door.
Chen Hai came out with the wool and glanced at the door behind her, then looked at the woman standing by the door, ready to escape at any time, and a smile flashed quickly in his eyes.
"This is one jin. I'll get the remaining jin for you next week. Two jins should be enough for one set of clothing."
Chen Hai got her medium-thick yarn, which would be enough for an adult man at most two kilograms. If she was a girl, she could knit a scarf and a hat in addition to a sweater.
Jiang Wanwan looked at the color of the wool, maroon?
It was also her fault for not explaining it clearly to Aunt Xu at the beginning, but it was good enough to get the thread now, so the color didn't matter.
The woolen sweater taken out from the two-bedroom apartment was black. Jiang Wanwan wanted to knit a pair of woolen trousers and a scarf for Lu Xiao. The maroon color was not too bright, and it was okay for a young man to wear, not to mention the woolen trousers and scarf, so they were not conspicuous.
"Thank you and Aunt Xu."
Jiang Wanwan took the wool and paid for it, then took out a few big meat buns from the basket.
"This is for Aunt Xu. I made it myself."
Last time I gave Aunt Xu a meat bun, and she praised it highly. I promised to bring her a few this time, but I didn’t expect Aunt Xu to have something urgent to do.
You can't go back on your word. I think if it's given to Aunt Xu's son, he will pass it on to Aunt Xu.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Hai's eyes, but he didn't refuse and thanked his mother on his behalf.
After finishing the work, Jiang Wanwan quickly stuffed the wool into the basket and left the family compound.
She still had to go to the black market. It was getting late and the black market would be closed if she was any later.
As I reached the corner, I didn't notice who was coming and bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.
"Oh my god, be careful when you walk..." Before he could even say "ah", Li Le saw that the other person was a beautiful woman and immediately stopped talking.
I bent down to help her pick up the things, but the things on the ground had already been picked up by her.
He changed his tone again, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now. Did I bump into anything? Do you need to go to the clinic? That's the clinic at the textile factory over there. I know someone there."
Jiang Wanwan's arm was just a little sore from the collision, but she didn't feel like going to the clinic yet. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. I wasn't paying attention to the road. It's fine."
"You look unfamiliar to me. Are you from this residential compound?" Li Le hangs around here all day long, and he knows everyone's family and how many people are in each family.
Jiang Wanwan didn't want to bother with a stranger any more. Since the other party was fine, she nodded politely and turned to leave.
Li Le touched his chin and continued walking humming a tune until the figure walked away.
On the other side, Chen Hai entered the house with buns.
I don’t know how this bun was brought here, it’s still hot. I just put it on the table. My mother will definitely come over soon, so I’ll let her take it away then.
There was another knock on the door. Chen Hai raised his head immediately and saw Li Le pushing the door in. He then lowered his eyes lightly.
"Chen Hai, is there a new person living in this alley?"
Li Le was gesticulating as he walked.
"Just now, when I came here, I bumped into a woman at your door. She was very pretty, tall and slender, and fair and pretty. Is she a worker at your textile factory? Or is she someone's family member? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Chen Hai raised his eyebrows. From his description, he knew that this guy had bumped into that woman.
You didn’t recognize me?
He didn't explain much, and looked disgusted.
"Are you here to check the household registration? You need to know all the female workers in the textile factory."
"Aren't we good brothers? As the saying goes, those who are close to water get the moon first. I think that girl is quite suitable for my eyes. If she is really the new female worker in your textile factory, you can introduce her to me if you have the chance. We can get to know each other and then my mother will stop nagging you all the time when I find a partner."
"There are no new female workers in our factory, and I don't know the person you are talking about."
Chen Hai picked up the thermos and poured himself a glass of water, then replied calmly.
Li Le was a little disappointed. He turned his head and saw the big meat bun on the table, which immediately diverted his attention.
"Your cafeteria is steaming buns today? I haven't had lunch yet."
He and Chen Hai have always been close friends, having grown up wearing the same pants. Without waiting for Chen Hai to reply, he took one out.
Chen Hai wanted to say that it was for his mother, but when he saw Li Le had already picked up the bun and taken a bite, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Just eat it. His mother doesn’t need a few meat buns. Just tell her about her kindness when the time comes.
