With things settled here, Lin Xiaoxiao took Wang Lijuan and another bag of local specialties to the factory workshop.
There are far more people here than in the office, and they're all women. When they start eating and chatting, it feels like they're going to blow the roof off.
Whenever people couldn't help but ask Lin Xiaoxiao about the cultural and historical sites in Beijing, they would say, "That's the capital city, after all. Everyone longs to go there and is very curious about the unknown."
During the chat, Lin Xiaoxiao mentioned Wang Lijuan's situation. Most people congratulated Wang Lijuan upon hearing this, while only a few remained silent.
Most people accepted Wang Lijuan because of her previous annulment of the engagement, and also because they had been colleagues for a while and knew she had some skills. She was smart enough to succeed in this area, so she deserved to be rewarded.
Many of those who were unhappy that Wang Lijuan was earning an extra salary were simply jealous. Lin Xiaoxiao noticed these looks but didn't say anything; it was Wang Lijuan's own business.
I believe Wang Lijuan can handle things on her own. If these small things hold her back and hinder her career development, then Lin Xiaoxiao will be better able to replace her once she sees her true abilities.
After chatting and laughing, everyone got down to business. Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Lijuan brought the design styles and discussed making patterns. Seeing that Wang Lijuan was quite knowledgeable about pattern making, she completely entrusted the task to Wang Lijuan and went to discuss the issue of this live-streaming sales with the cadres.
Lin Xiaoxiao and everyone else went to the warehouse and inventoried all the goods in it. After recording the data, Lin Xiaoxiao said that she would take all the goods in the entire warehouse.
It's not just about taking the goods away; all sorts of details need to be agreed upon, such as how to handle accounts, how to coordinate the goods, and who the contact person is. Lin Xiaoxiao listed everything out in detail, so that any problems could be clarified now to avoid a bunch of unresolved issues later on.
After discussing these issues, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh that everyone was really hardworking and dedicated, and they were able to take away quite a lot of goods this time.
The goods were all produced by the young women and aunties working overtime. The more they produced, the more their income increased. From the conversation, you could tell that the money the women earned greatly improved their living conditions and gave them boundless courage and confidence.
I heard that while everyone was staying home for the Lunar New Year, they received orders with profits of over a thousand.
People are placing orders one after another, and the factory is hiring more and more people. It is estimated that the village will start to expand the factory by the spring.
With more and more orders coming in from the surrounding area, and sometimes needing to take care of things in the capital as well, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that constantly communicating by telegram or letter was too inefficient.
She wanted to install a telephone in the village so that she could communicate with Wangjia Village and Wang Lijuan in a timely manner.
Lin Xiaoxiao had this thought in mind: whether it could still work out or not, she needed to go to the Kong family and wait until it was confirmed before she could tell everyone.
On the way home with Lightning, Lin Xiaoxiao smelled odors coming from other houses and realized that they had been talking for so long that it was past lunchtime. Finally relaxing, she realized she was really hungry.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to take Lightning home to cook something, she heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Wang Chunhua.
"Xiaoxiao, don't go back yet. Your family has already cooked dinner. I came here to ask you and Dad to come home for dinner together."
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for two seconds, then agreed without any hesitation. By the time she got home and started preparing a delicious meal, she would probably be starving.
Soon, Wang Chunhua went over and called out to Captain Wang. The three of them, along with the wolf grandmother, headed towards Captain Wang's house.
Lin Xiaoxiao was quite familiar with Captain Wang's family, so she didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the kitchen. Aunt Li was still busy by the stove. Lin Xiaoxiao went over to take a look and saw that she was frying eggs.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the dining table and saw that there were already three dishes. She quickly said, "Aunt Li, there's enough food on the table. Don't make any more."
"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and sit down. Are you hungry? I'll be done soon."
"Hey." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony. After washing her hands, she sat down at the table. You could tell from the dishes on the table that Aunt Li had put a lot of thought into cooking this meal. The main dish was white steamed buns, a pork stew with vermicelli, a braised tofu dish, a spicy stir-fried cabbage dish, and finally, a stir-fried egg with pickled vegetables.
Lin Xiaoxiao had a good relationship with them and was familiar with them. They would chat while eating, with Aunt Li and the others asking questions and Lin Xiaoxiao answering. They would ask if her mother-in-law was easy to get along with and whether she lived alone or with her parents-in-law.
With Han Qiushi's family being so well-off, are they worried about being bullied? Who makes the decisions at home? Lin Xiaoxiao patiently answered their questions.
After the meal, Captain Wang wanted to rummage through his family's treasured tea, but Lin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him and asked him to arrange a sled for her. She was pressed for time and had to go to the county town that afternoon, and she needed to coordinate the phone and train arrangements.
When Captain Wang heard that Lin Xiaoxiao had something to do, he immediately picked up the coat hanging on the wall and put it on: "Okay, you go to the village entrance first, I'll go and call Uncle Ganzi now."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao put on the military overcoat next to her and left the lightning bolt with Wang Chunhua so that she could take it with her.
Winters in Heilongjiang Province are long, and there is still a lot of snow on the roads. Now, the only way to get around is by sled. Otherwise, the team has a tractor, which can drive directly to the county town, so there is no need to trouble them to come along and suffer from the cold wind and freezing temperatures.
What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know was that the people of Wangjia Village were now very willing to do things for her. Anyway, it wasn't anything hard or tiring, and compared to the things she was doing to help everyone develop the village, it was nothing.
The sled was no slower than the oxcart, and soon we arrived in town to catch a bus to the county seat.
Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the family compound with ease, carrying the things Bai Hehua had prepared for the Kong family, and knocked on the door.
Hearing the sound from inside, Du Juan responded loudly. When she opened the door and saw Lin Xiaoxiao, she was overjoyed: "Xiaoxiao, you're back? Where's Qiushi? Didn't he come back with you?"
Kong Xi, who was inside the house, was also very happy to see Lin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao is here, come in and sit down quickly."
Lin Xiaoxiao handed the things she was carrying directly to Du Juan, saying, "These are things Mom prepared. When she came over, she specifically told me to bring them to you."
While Bai Hehua was preparing, Lin Xiaoxiao was also watching. The food inside was mostly food, probably because she was worried that the Kong family wouldn't have much to eat while they were hibernating here.
Upon hearing this, Du Juan smiled and took the two bags of things, saying, "I never thought I would be fed by my good sister one day."
"Xiaoxiao, did you just arrive? Are you resting at home tonight?"
