Gao Yongde escorted Liang Guiying all the way to the alley entrance and only returned after she had ridden away in her tricycle.
It got dark, the chess game was over, and a familiar neighbor asked, "Ade, who was that woman? Why did you have to deliver her yourself?"
Gao Yongde feigned mystery: "Don't ask, in short, we can't afford to offend them."
Gao Yongde acted quickly; two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, he arrived with a young girl.
After Zhou Yue finished signing all the documents, Gao Yongde took out two red envelopes from his briefcase and said with a smile, "Zhou Yue, these are red envelopes for your daughter. I hope she grows up quickly."
Zhou Yue subconsciously looked at Liang Guiying.
Liang Guiying smiled and said, "It is an honor to receive such a gift from an elder. Zhou Yue, please thank Director Gao on behalf of Niannian."
After finishing his business, Gao Yongde took his leave. From beginning to end, the girl named Xiao Ya who had come with him never uttered a word.
Liang Guiying closed the door, pulled Zhou Yue back into the hall, and asked Zhou Yue to open the two red envelopes and take a look.
The two red envelopes were very thin. Zhou Yue thought they would contain at most five or ten yuan. Unexpectedly, when she took them out, they were actually deposit slips. One deposit slip had a face value of five thousand yuan, and the other also had a face value of five thousand yuan!
"So much?!" Zhou Yue exclaimed in shock. "Grandma Niannian, why did the factory manager give Niannian so much money?"
"Silly girl, this five thousand yuan is for your job, and the other five thousand is a thank-you fee."
"That's too much!"
“For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money, but for some people, it’s just the price of two or three bottles of wine,” Liang Guiying said. “That Xiao Ya seems to be from an official family. If I’m not mistaken, she bought your position just to gain experience. Once the term is up, she will be transferred and promoted. She’s giving you this money to buy peace of mind.”
Zhou Yue was relieved and handed the deposit slip to Liang Guiying: "Grandma Niannian, you can use this money."
Liang Guiying took the deposit slip and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"
"You won't."
Despite the fact that the two were not related by blood, and strictly speaking, Liang Guiying should have been his enemy, Zhou Yue trusted her nonetheless.
Liang Guiying raised her hand and patted her head: "Silly girl, I will not run away with the money, but you must be more careful no matter where you go in the future."
"Uh-huh."
"Take your household registration book and carry your annual pass with you, let's go to the bank."
Liang Guiying took her savings book and rode her tricycle straight to the bank.
She had 12,000 yuan in her own account, which she transferred to Zhou Yue's account. She also opened two separate passbooks for the two banknotes that Director Gao had given her and deposited the money into them.
It was noon when they came out of the bank. Liang Guiying smiled and said, "Zhou Yue, I haven't had tea at the restaurant before. How about we have some tea today?"
"good."
It was Zhou Xiaonian's first time at a teahouse, and she was curious about everything. Seeing the items on the trolley, she pointed with her little finger, saying, "Mommy, I want this! Grandma, I want this too! I want that too!"
After the family of three finished their tea, they went shopping at the department store.
The department store has four floors. The family of three started shopping from the fourth floor, not missing a single corner. By the time they came out, it was already evening, and Zhou Xiaonian had fallen asleep on Liang Guiying's back.
Zhou Yue suggested that they just eat something casually outside for dinner, but Liang Guiying insisted on going home to kill a chicken and make soup. Zhou Yue couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to go home.
A gentle evening breeze blew as Liang Guiying rode her bicycle steadily, while Zhou Yue leaned back in the cargo bed, dozing off.
After an unknown amount of time, a furious roar suddenly rang in his ears: "Zhou Yue, I'll kill you!"
