Chapter 43 There is still a way to live
Cheng Hui was very surprised. This was different from what she expected. Would the other party let them go so easily?
"When did they say they would give us the raw materials? And how much would they give us?" Cheng Hui asked.
Guo Dajun blinked and was dumbfounded: "I, I was so excited. You don't know, I talked to them for a whole day! They finally agreed to give us the raw materials... I was so happy and in a hurry to catch the car that I forgot to ask..."
Cheng Hui couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, but then she tried hard to suppress them.
"Director, have you ever negotiated before?" Cheng Hui asked.
You don’t even know such a basic trick?
"No, what's there to talk about?" Guo Dajun looked confused.
The highest position he held before was deputy director of the first workshop. He did not need to negotiate at all in his life and only had to obey the factory's arrangements.
Cheng Hui nodded, no wonder.
Everyone also woke up from their surprise, and Aunt Qiao quickly asked: "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
She is old and if she is fired she will have no pension! In that case, I will really have to depend on my daughter-in-law's mood to live, but how can I live?
Cheng Hui comforted him, "It's okay, no problem. The other party is such a big factory director, and he has promised to give us raw materials. Can he break his promise? That way we will have a reason to make trouble."
"That's true." Aunt Qiao was relieved. When it came to making trouble, she was very experienced! The success rate is just not high! Otherwise I wouldn't be here.
Shen Qiuju came in a hurry, with two people carrying a basket behind her.
"Oh, you're still here. I thought it was too late!" She patted her chest and said, "I've prepared all the materials for you. You must come on time tomorrow morning!"
“Of course, otherwise Sister Shen would go to our factory and smash the door.” Cheng Hui said with a smile.
After saying that, he took out a pen and paper and wrote her a receipt.
I didn’t have time to count the eggs, so I just weighed them. It was 38 kilograms, so I should be right.
"Don't worry, 300 eggs is no more, no less! It should be 305." Shen Qiuju said.
She took the receipt and indeed felt more relieved. The young wife is not very old, but she does things very efficiently.
Only then did Guo Dajun notice the pile of things around everyone.
The five large wicker baskets I brought with me when I came were all full, and that was still not enough, as there were several full triangular bags next to them.
Eggs, meat, and a lot of cloth...how much will this cost?
After Shen Qiuju left, Guo Dajun immediately asked, "How much money is left today?"
Cheng Hui said: "Each person owes me 10 cents for the train ticket."
Guo Dajun:! ! !
He knew this would happen!
Yesterday you said you had spent all the money, and it turns out I wasn’t joking. Did you really spend it all?
"Let's go home and divide our things." Cheng Hui said.
The hidden worries in everyone's hearts were immediately thrown out of the window, and they went home happily.
After getting off the train, everyone at home came to pick me up.
Seeing them buying so many things in big and small bags makes me happier than the Chinese New Year!
Cheng Hui suddenly smiled. Being poor also has its advantages. When you are poor, you can be truly happy for a few days if you get a little bit of the most ordinary material things.
When you are rich, you may not be happy even if you have mountains of gold and silver.
She also laughed. She was so poor now.
After entering the factory, Cheng Hui began to distribute things. The pork belly was divided into 14 portions, one for each person.
Everyone unanimously decided to leave the remaining large bones and pig offal at the factory and let Cheng Hui prepare them.
No one else can make it as good as Cheng Hui when they take it home, so it’s better for them to take it home after Cheng Hui finishes making it…
Cheng Hui began to demand her own privileges: "The pig's trotters will not be divided, they are all mine. I will keep them for making soup during my confinement."
"Okay, okay, all are yours!" everyone said in unison.
"Aunt Qiao, when you buy meat next time, please buy more pig's trotters!" Tao Juan said tactfully.
"Okay, okay!" Aunt Qiao said immediately.
Guo Dajun glanced at the two of them: There is no money left in my pocket, what about the future? What to buy?
But there was still some money left from selling cakes two days ago.
He immediately said to Li Yan: "Li Yan, keep an eye on the money. Don't spend money without a legitimate reason and without my consent."
Li Yan glanced at Cheng Hui first, and when she nodded, he said, "Okay."
Guo Dajun:! ! ! Who are you looking at?
This life is unbearable! Didn’t he manage people as promised? !
"The woolen cloth is probably enough for each person to make a suit. I didn't ask her to cut it. Everyone can cut it according to their own size when the time comes. Don't mind if there's more or less, okay?" Cheng Hui said again.
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Everyone said.
These past two days, Cheng Hui, Gao Zhi and Lao Hei have been working, and the others have been helping with the selling. With just a little bit of effort, the money they earn is like free money. Who dares to complain?
"There are 20 kilograms of sugar, one kilogram for each person, and I suggest giving the rest to Lao Hei first, as his son is getting married, so he doesn't have to buy any more.
"As long as I'm here, you'll have endless candy to eat!"
Cheng Hui asked Lao Hei again: "I just don't know if you mind, after all, they are all defective products. If you mind, I can also buy you good candies."
Lao Hei started wiping tears when she said "his son is getting married"!
Why do I feel so warm inside?
He has been a worker since the founding of the People's Republic of China, 24 years! Who remembered that his son was getting married?
No, his son doesn’t get married every year…
Anyway, no matter how bad he looks, he is a transparent person in the factory! It was just because the factory had bought coal mixed with stones, which resulted in him not being able to control the temperature well and causing several furnaces to burn out.
The factory asked him to take the blame but he refused and argued with the factory director, asking who bought the coal... and then he was sent here!
Guo Dajun also knew that his son was going to get married, but what else did he say except sighing at him? What did you do?
Guo Dajun was rubbing his hands awkwardly beside him, not daring to look at Lao Hei.
Zhang You tried to smooth things over, "I've seen that there are actually quite a few good candies among the 20 kilograms of defective candies. Let's pick them out and give them to Uncle Laohei."
"Thank you, thank you!" Lao Hei thanked repeatedly.
Cheng Hui took a look at Zhang You and thought that he was a good candidate who was willing to lend a hand.
Zhang You smiled back at her, he was still thinking about Cheng Hui's words...
When will he be rich again? Life is so hard without money!
Cheng Hui took out another 28 packs of cigarettes.
"There are cheap and expensive cigarettes. Normally, each person should get one pack. But Gao Zhi and I don't smoke, so we gave ours to Director Guo. He would be embarrassed if he goes out for social events without cigarettes." Cheng Hui said.
Guo Dajun looked at the six packs of cigarettes stuffed into his hands and smiled so hard that only his teeth were visible.
He had never had so many cigarettes at once in his life!
There is still a way to live...
Gao Zhi was a little dissatisfied with the two packs of cigarettes she lost... She knew that it was hard currency and sometimes more useful than money.
Cheng Hui added: "As for the 5 kilograms of cotton, Gao Zhi and I took it. Gao Zhi doesn't have a quilt of her own yet, so she borrowed it from Director Sun's house. I haven't prepared a small quilt or a set of clothes for the child..."
Gao Zhi laughed immediately!
Others almost cried! Including seven or eight old men.
Why is it so miserable?
A grown-up girl of fifteen or sixteen doesn’t even have a bed or quilt!
The baby is about to be born and nothing is prepared!
"My grandson's childhood clothes and bedding are still here. If you don't mind, I'll get them for you!" Aunt Qiao said.
"My children's small clothes are also here, I'll get them for you too!" Tao Juan said, "And my sisters' small clothes, I'll get them for you too!"
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind, but your children must still be using the quilt, so I don't want it. I also don't want too many small clothes, because if I have too many, I won't be able to wear them all. Ten sets will be enough."
Tao Juan and Aunt Qiao looked at each other immediately: their children may not have ten sets of clothes by the time they are five or six years old...
Cheng Hui really forgot this. She only remembered that children in later generations had clothes arranged according to wardrobe.
"Okay, let's talk about the key issue. How do we divide these eggs?" Cheng Hui pointed to two large baskets of eggs.
Everyone was stunned. Isn't this her private job? We actually have to share it with them?
this.....
