"I understand, Auntie. Don't worry, I promise I won't be late."
After saying this, she shouted to Fang Zhilin, who was sitting there having fun:
"Your sister is going to work, and you're at her house. You have to be obedient and don't cry or make a fuss, okay? Otherwise, if I come home and find out you've been mischievous, I'll punish you."
"Eat well at noon and don't be picky about what you eat. Don't go out for too long. If your clothes get wet, go home and change them. Don't catch a cold, okay?"
"Why do we have to have fun? We can't argue or fight with others, or bully others?"
Fang Zhilin heard her words and ran over to hug his legs. He raised his head and smiled at her and said:
"I understand, sister. I will be obedient, but you have to promise me that you will come pick me up after work."
Fang Zhilin touched his head and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I promise I'll pick you up as soon as I get off work, okay?"
"Okay, let's make a promise. You can't lie to me."
Hearing him say this, Fang Zhiyi made a pinky promise with him like a child, and only then was she let go.
After leaving Niu's house, she went back home again, took her gloves and lunch box, closed all the doors of her house tightly, and then went to work.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, making it impossible to ride a bicycle. Even if he did, it would not be safe, so he chose to walk.
Although walking is slower, it is safe. The only thing is that it is a bit cold on the road, so it is good to put on a military coat, gloves and a hat, so you don’t have to worry about the cold?
Although there are few jobs and the salaries are not high in this era, the management is still quite humane.
In a situation like today, they can arrive later. After all, the road is so difficult to travel on, and those who live far away really can't make it.
And just like they usually come in late and leave early, not many leaders will ask about it, as long as nothing goes wrong.
They just need to find someone to cover for them. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the supply and marketing cooperative at that time, so they can just leave work early.
But this is the case. Even if they go to work, there are not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, the school is so big. Apart from those who go to work, who would be willing to go out?
It's so cold that you shiver when you go out in the morning. Who would be willing to walk so far to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things? Even if you need something very much, it's not too late to buy it after the snow melts.
So with such heavy snow today, there must be very few customers in the store, and even if they go later, it won’t delay anything.
Moreover, the snow on the roads outside has not been cleared, and people may have to get up early overnight, and bicycles are not safe, so most people choose to walk to work.
It is understandable to arrive late. Besides, no one will care about these things. As long as nothing goes wrong, no one will care whether you are late or leave early.
Fang Zhiyi was no longer in a hurry. As she walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative, she thought about the worst thing about her job: it was that she had no holidays.
Although there are four days of holiday in a month, they have to go to work during the Spring Festival and will not have a holiday until the afternoon. They have to take turns to be on duty on the first day of the New Year.
So this might be the only bad thing, I don’t have much time to spend with my family.
Other than that, it's pretty good. At least there aren't too many people here, and there's not a lot of intrigue. When I'm not working, I just knit and chat.
In winter, when the weather was cold and they couldn't show off, they would chat about gossip, gossiping about other people's families. Although Fang Zhiyi didn't know much gossip about others before, he learned a lot from listening to them.
Anyway, their chat was quite interesting. No one gathered together to talk, and the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
Fang Zhiyi was quite satisfied with this. At least there was no intrigue. In this way, the environment was relatively simple and nothing would happen.
On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, I met many people who were rushing to the factory. Most people chose to walk, and even those who rode bicycles were very cautious, and they might not be as fast as walking.
After all, no one knows what's underneath the covering. If someone is not careful enough and rides on a rock, they will definitely fall.
In addition to people going to work, many families in the alley went to sweep the snow spontaneously. At this time, there was no one to arrange for snow sweeping. Most of the time, the surrounding residents swept the snow spontaneously.
Fang Zhiyi will also have to do this job when she arrives at the supply and marketing cooperative. At least she has to clear the snow at the door so that people can enter.
There are people sweeping the snow at the door of almost every household. After all, if they don't sweep the snow, people will just have to come and go, which is inconvenient.
Every household sweeps the floor. If yours isn't, people will definitely gossip about you.
What they fear most is that someone will say that their family is full of lazy people, and if there are girls or boys of marriageable age in the family, it will be difficult to find a partner. No one wants to marry a lazy man, or marry a lazy man.
Even if they are really lazy, they still have to act like this for the sake of their unmarried children and not let others talk about them.
Besides, sweeping the snow is convenient for them. If they don’t sweep the snow, it will be inconvenient for them to travel when the snow melts and freezes again. They might even fall at the door at any time.
So no one would be lazy about this matter, and everyone was quite diligent. Fang Zhiyi looked at this and thought that by tomorrow, they should be able to ride a bicycle on this road.
When I grew up, I felt warm all over. I had walked for such a long time and covered myself so tightly that my face was red.
Is she warm? She is wearing such thick clothes and has walked for such a long time. If she is not warm, then there will be problems.
When she arrived, there was already someone outside with tools. They had gotten up early, so she went back into the house to put down her things, then hurried out with tools to start working.
With everyone working together, the floor was cleaned up quickly. After returning to the house, everyone collapsed on the benches.
After all, these people don't usually do any heavy work, unlike the rural people who have to work in the fields. The heaviest work they have done may be moving things around or cleaning the house.
It would take more than half an hour to do this, so how could they not be tired? Fortunately, no one came and saw them like this.
