Chapter 55
Teach her?
Meng Wanqiu smiled and said, "I didn't make this. I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative. If you want it, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look."
This was written by Pei Xingzhi, so how could she let him spend his time on someone else? And even if Meng Wanqiu could write it herself, she was so busy that she couldn't take the time to teach Wu Guifen.
If you want it, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy it yourself. It just so happens that the mats woven by the young wife of the Hu family are sold there.
Upon hearing this, Wu Guifen let go of the edge of the table and said in disbelief, "I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative. How is that possible? Accountant Meng, didn't you often go out to cut reeds after get off work? How come you still haven't learned it after all this time?"
Meng Wanqiu raised her eyebrows, leaned back, and placed her hands on the table. The smile on her face disappeared, and her whole temperament became cold and particularly oppressive.
"I'm sorry, I just can't."
Wu Guifen felt a little uncomfortable with Meng Wanqiu's sudden change of expression. For so long in the department, Meng Wanqiu always smiled at everyone and had a very gentle attitude.
It even made Wu Guifen forget her own identity. The other party was the pillar of the department, while she was just a clerk who could be replaced at any time.
Wu Guifen recalled some rumors she'd heard. It was said that when Meng Wanqiu first arrived at the 715, she was brought there by car. Furthermore, some people said Meng Wanqiu and her husband had a close relationship with Deputy Director Bai, and that they had been seen dining together several times.
Thinking of this, Wu Guifen's heart was pounding. If Meng Wanqiu went to complain to the section chief, the result would be no surprise. Section Chief Tian would definitely let her leave.
Thinking of her children at home, Wu Guifen instantly came back to her senses and said with a wry smile: "Well, it doesn't matter. Accountant Meng, you are a learned man. You are busy with work. It won't be normal. It's normal."
Meng Wanqiu smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, if you really want it, I can ask for you. I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative anyway."
Seeing Meng Wanqiu's expression ease up, Wu Guifen breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand quickly, "No, no, I can go and see it myself. Thank you, Accountant Meng, don't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Wu Guifen looked at the time hanging on the office wall and said, "Oh, it's getting late. I have to go home and cook. Accountant Meng, you should also go eat early."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Meng Wanqiu also replied politely.
Then, Wu Guifen put the broom and dustpan at the door. Before leaving, she glanced at Meng Wanqiu, who was still sitting at her desk, smiling. She looked exactly the same as before. But Wu Guifen no longer had the impression of Meng Wanqiu as a harmless and easygoing person.
After closing the door, Wu Guifen continued to remind herself to abide by her duties in what she said and did in the future.
After everyone left, Meng Wanqiu was the only one left in the office.
Meng Wanqiu did not take Wu Guifen's offense to heart. She just wanted to scare her so that she would be afraid, so as not to give her the impression that she was easy to bully.
Meng Wanqiu stood up from her chair, revealing her lower body, which was hidden by the table. She wore a thigh-length off-white coat and a loose, half-high collared shirt underneath. A three-finger-wide belt was tied around her waist, highlighting her slender figure.
He wore a pair of wide-leg dark blue jeans and a pair of black leather shoes.
Meng Wanqiu bought this kind of pants recently. She had seen them on Jiang Xiuxiu before and thought the style of the pants was very good.
After seeing it at the supply and marketing cooperative with Sister Gao, we both thought it looked nice and bought one each.
Meng Wanqiu made the clothes herself, which took some time, but she didn't think it was a hassle to make nice clothes for herself.
She also made one for Pei Xingzhi, the style was similar to hers, but the color was black, and Pei Xingzhi also wore it today.
When I came to work this morning, I attracted a lot of people's attention. They all said that they were a very fashionable couple.
He poured the remaining water in the cup into the basin of orchid on the table. His hand, like white jade, tapped the slender leaves, and crystal clear water droplets fell, wetting the table.
"Here we go, sister Xiaowan, let's go eat."
Sister Gao pushed open the door of the accounting department in a hurry, and when she saw Meng Wanqiu inside, her eyes lit up instantly.
He trotted over, pulled Meng Wanqiu's hand away, and looked at her carefully with eyes wide open, without blinking.
Meng Wanqiu also let her do whatever she wanted.
"Oh my goodness, why are you so handsome?"
Sister Gao was so amazed that she broke into her hometown dialect. Since coming to the 715, her accent had become weaker and weaker, but now it has reappeared.
Meng Wanqiu chuckled and thought that Sister Gao's hometown dialect was particularly amusing.
Sister Gao looked from front to back and said, "Oh, I bought this pair of pants a few days ago and my two kids, one big and one small, said they didn't look good. I was so angry. It turns out it's not the pants that are bad, it's the person wearing them that is bad."
Sister Gao was talking about her lover and son.
Meng Wanqiu covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? It should be well matched. Later I will make you a dress like mine, and it will look good when you wear it together."
When Sister Gao heard that Meng Wanqiu wanted to make clothes for her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't bother, you're still pregnant."
So, people are divided into different levels.
Meng Wanqiu and Sister Gao have a good relationship because they get along well with each other, but both of them truly care about each other to maintain this relationship.
Sister Gao wanted nice clothes, and Meng Wanqiu offered to make clothes for her, but Sister Gao remembered that Meng Wanqiu was pregnant and didn't want her to waste her time.
Wu Guifen, who had suddenly appeared earlier, had no personal connection with Meng Wanqiu except as an office colleague. Given this relationship, she had suddenly asked Meng Wanqiu to teach her how to weave mats. If Meng Wanqiu wasn't a fool, she would have definitely refused.
The two walked towards the cafeteria arm in arm, talking about the latest gossip in the factory.
The reason why Meng Wanqiu didn't go out to dinner with Pei Xingzhi was that Pei Xingzhi had become busy recently. The technical department's working hours were not fixed, and a meeting often lasted for several hours, and the meeting would not end until the problem was solved.
After that, Pei Xingzhi told Meng Wanqiu not to wait for him. She was still pregnant and of course he couldn't let her starve.
Pei Xingzhi specifically went to find Sister Gao and asked her to take Meng Wanqiu out for dinner, and asked her to keep an eye on Meng Wanqiu while they were eating.
Because there were many people at dinner time, Pei Xingzhi was worried that someone would bump into Meng Wanqiu.
Sister Gao readily agreed. She had always liked Meng Wanqiu, and besides, Sister Gao was the only woman in the Personnel Department. Her husband was in the kitchen at mealtimes, so she usually ate alone.
Now that she has a companion, Sister Gao is of course willing.
After walking out of the office building, Sister Gao touched Meng Wanqiu's lower abdomen. The originally flat area was now slightly bulging.
"It's almost five months, doesn't your belly look like it?"
Sister Gao compared her appearance when she was pregnant and raised a question.
Meng Wanqiu touched her belly and said, "It's okay. I went to the hospital and it's just a physical problem. I don't gain weight easily."
Since she became pregnant, Meng Wanqiu took her own pulse every day. She went to the county hospital with Pei Xingzhi several times for fear of making mistakes.
"That's good, that's good."
Sister Gao went through her own pregnancy in a daze and didn't dare to give Meng Wanqiu any advice. She was relieved when she knew that Meng Wanqiu was fine.
A few months later, the once dusty July 15th Square had been repaired and paved with cement, leaving it clean and smooth. The Great Hall designed by Pei Xingzhi was also nearing completion, and Meng Wanqiu's department had been incredibly busy lately settling project payments.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, they followed the crowd to line up. When they got to the window, the people inside saw that it was Sister Gao and filled the entire lunch box to the brim, leaving no space at all.
Meng Wanqiu also benefited from this, and her lunch box was also full. After so long, everyone in the cafeteria knew that she had a good relationship with Sister Gao.
Sister Gao’s husband is their immediate superior, so the people in the cafeteria naturally dare not neglect them.
This phenomenon is not recommended at this time. However, not everyone is a saint and can strictly demand themselves.
Where there are people, there is love, and human relationships are inevitable in society.
Even though Gao had never asked the cafeteria staff to take care of her, and her husband had never said such a thing, this situation still happened. In order to avoid wasting food, Gao had no choice but to finish it.
Today's dishes are spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried green beans with eggplant, steamed buns, stir-fried meat, and cabbage and tofu soup.
They were all Meng Wanqiu's favorite dishes. Sister Gao, who finished her meal first, didn't leave in a hurry, but waited for Meng Wanqiu by the side.
However, the two of them arrived late today, and at a glance, the seats were all full.
"Here, Miss Xiaowan, Miss Gao!"
In their sight, an arm was raised high and waved towards the two of them. Looking closely, they found that the person calling them was Su Lili.
Su Lili is the vegetable seller that Meng Wanqiu helps with accounting. Her father is the captain of the transportation department.
Since they met that time, they would greet each other whenever they met at the factory. However, because Su Lili did not often appear at the factory, their relationship did not become closer.
After sitting down, Sister Gao asked Su Lili curiously, "Lili, why are you in the cafeteria today?"
Meng Wanqiu took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded.
Su Lili put down her chopsticks, propped her chin up with her hand, and sighed heavily, "Don't mention it, my dad has assigned me to the Propaganda Department."
"Publicity Department, this is a good thing. You don't have to do miscellaneous work in various departments like before." Sister Gao didn't understand why Su Lili was unhappy.
Meng Wanqiu tilted her head and asked Su Lili, "Don't you like the Propaganda Department?"
Su Lili suddenly slapped the table, put one foot on the stool, and sat in a rather unruly manner, "That's it."
Then Su Lili told the two of them her true thoughts.
It turned out that Su Lili's mother died when she was very young. Because her father was busy with work and was away every day, he had no time to take care of Su Lili, so he sent her to his hometown and asked her grandmother to take care of her.
As a result, Grandma Su favored boys over girls and gave all the things sent by Su's father to the child of Su's father's younger brother, who was Grandma Su's grandson.
When Su Lili was a child, she was dirty and thin. She had to help Grandma Su take care of her younger cousin at home, go outside to collect firewood, and cut bamboo vegetables. Finally, she fainted due to malnutrition.
Fortunately, she was found by the villagers. After sending her back to the Su family, they asked Grandma Su to take good care of Su Lili. However, Grandma Su did not appreciate it at all and even scolded Su Lili for being lazy.
Finally, the neighbor who couldn't bear it any longer wrote a letter to tell Su's father about Su Lili's experience.
Only then did Su's father learn the truth. It turned out that this was how his mother treated his daughter.
He immediately returned home, severed ties with Grandma Su, and brought Su Lili to live with him. Due to the nature of his work, others advised Su's father to put Su Lili in a nursery, but Su's father felt guilty towards his daughter and refused to trust outsiders.
So he gritted his teeth and moved his family to the truck, and raised Su Lili by acting as both father and mother on the truck.
It can be said that Su Lili almost grew up in the car.
"So, the department you really want to work for is the Transportation Department, and you want to be a driver."
Meng Wanqiu bit her chopsticks, tilted her head and looked at Su Lili and said.
