Chapter 233 Even eating became a problem
Although they were all from the countryside, they were not completely ignorant.
When they went to the city, they also saw a few people wearing coats made of this material, and they looked very energetic.
At the same time, I also know that this material must not be cheap.
Liu Xiaocui is different from the two team captains. Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang have been working in the team for many years, and many people usually give them gifts to please them.
She had not been a warehouse manager in the production team for long, and the person she had the most contact with was Shang Ruoting. As for other people, she had basically no close friends with them.
Seeing that someone gave him such an expensive gift, he was obviously embarrassed to accept it.
Liu Xiaocui was also anxious and pushed the material to Shang Ruoting in front of the two captains.
"Ruoting, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Although Zhao Fa received many gifts, they were mostly cigarettes, alcohol and the like. It was the first time in his many years as the team leader that Shang Ruoting gave him something as valuable as this.
Although he longed to look proud in a woolen coat, he was still too embarrassed to accept it.
"Ruoting, Tan Chen, Comrade Xiao Cui is right. This thing is too valuable, and I can't accept it."
Deputy Captain Wang has different ideas from Zhao Fa and Liu Xiaocui. He is usually responsible for the production distribution of the team, and half of the families in the village have given him gifts.
Although the gift from Shang Ruoting was a bit expensive, he didn't feel any burden when he accepted it. At the same time, he had already imagined how elegant he would look wearing a woolen coat.
However, Zhao Fa and Liu Xiaocui were trying to refuse. If they didn't accept the material, it would be difficult for him to accept it openly.
Vice Captain Wang rolled his eyes and said, "Oh... This is a thoughtful gift from Ruoting and Tan Chen. Although it's a bit expensive, it's not good to offend them."
As he spoke, he had a smile on his face. He reached out and stuffed the cloth that Liu Xiaocui had pushed out back in. The same thing happened to Zhao Fa. Deputy Captain Wang directly pulled the man behind him.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were no longer surprised by Deputy Captain Wang's behavior. Although this kind of person was a bit greedy, it was still pleasant to ask him to do things.
For example, last time I asked him to get a marriage certificate for Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan, he did it quite promptly.
Who wouldn’t like such good material?
Zhao Fa and Liu Xiaocui also liked it very much. When they returned the material to Shang Ruoting, they were struggling in their hearts.
Now that Deputy Captain Wang was there to act as an example, he no longer refused.
The tractor was returned and the cloth given as a New Year gift was given out. Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen exchanged greetings with a few people for a while and then left together.
When the two returned home, they received meticulous care from Grandma Shang as before. As the family happily gathered around the table to enjoy the delicious dishes cooked by Grandma Shang, Shang Ruolian and others, who were so cold that they were unconscious, also returned to Sihe Village.
Logically speaking, Qiao Yuan could have taken the car from the city back early this morning, but because of Shang Ruolian's matter, he was delayed until now. The car to pick him up could not wait for him here all the time. If he wanted to go back, he could only find a way himself.
Although he hated Shang Ruolian from the bottom of his heart, Shang Ruolian was pregnant with his child after all.
If nothing else, even for the sake of having a root in his life, he could not torture Shang Ruolian anymore. At least he had to take good care of her before she gave birth.
Therefore, he did not arrange to return to the city immediately. His home was not close to Sihe Village. If he wanted to go back, he would have to cross the entire Zhuang City and pass through several counties to get there.
If you don't get on the bus to pick up the educated youth returning to the city, you will have to walk a long way. Even if you can take a car or train, you still need money in your pocket.
Qiao Yuan's pockets are now cleaner than his face. Not to mention taking a bus, even eating has become a problem.
The same thing happened to Zhang Lanxiang. All the money she earned from the production team with her work points was snatched away by Shang Lichun on the pretext of preventing her from hiding her own money.
Now she is also very short of money.
If those educated youth had not returned to the city, Qiao Yuan would have been shameless enough to borrow money from them. Even if it was a small amount, it would have been enough to keep him going for a few days.
However, those few people who had a better relationship with him had left, and he didn't know what to do now.
Zhang Lanxiang was also aware of these problems, and she also hoped that Qiao Yuan could take Shang Ruolian back to the city as soon as possible. No matter how difficult it was, returning to the city was always better than living in the countryside.
However, now she doesn't even have the ability to raise some travel expenses for the two of them.
"Qiao Yuan, I've given the little money I hid to the hospital. You'll have to figure out how to get back to the city yourself."
Qiao Yuan squatted dejectedly at the gate, with his hands stretched out and inserted in his hair, looking bitter and resentful. No matter what Zhang Lanxiang said, he didn't say a word.
