"Baozhu, you are already helping me."
The smile in Shen Xiao's eyes rippled because of Qiao Baozhu's words. His throat moved slightly, and his hand unconsciously reached across the table and lifted up the loose hair on Qiao Baozhu's temples.
Qiao Baozhu's ears felt hot, and Shen Xiao's increasingly intimate behavior made her feel sweet.
But her reason kept telling her that she had physical defects and could not accept Shen Xiao's love. She has indirectly ruined Shen Xiao's life. Is she going to harm him again in this life?
Seeing that Qiao Baozhu's pretty face was as red as a cooked river shrimp, Shen Xiao knew that she was shy and timid. He was afraid that he would scare her, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Forget it, life is so long, they can take their time. One day, he will untie Baozhu's knot and truly enter her heart.
When Qiao Baozhu saw Shen Xiao sitting back opposite her, she felt relieved and felt that there was a lot more air around her.
Shen Xiao had been too close to her just now, and she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. But when Shen Xiao let go, Qiao Baozhu felt a little disappointed.
"What a jerk..."
Qiao Baozhu cursed herself inwardly. She had never felt this way in her two lives and couldn't understand why she felt lost.
Before Qiao Baozhu could think about it, Shen Xiao's teasing voice sounded above her head.
"Tell me, how are you going to help me get information? How can you be sure that your source of information is better than mine?"
Shen Xiao didn't mean to look down on Qiao Baozhu. He was a scout and had his own ways of gathering information.
He really wanted to know why Qiao Baozhu was so sure that her source of information would be faster than his.
"Your investigative methods are rigorous and scientific, and you have your own dedicated insiders. I don't need any interrogation methods. I just need to provide a warm and bright place and automatically establish an information collection center."
Shen Xiao's brows tightened, trying to understand the meaning of Qiao Baozhu's words, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
He looked at Qiao Baozhu lovingly and praised her proudly, "You are such a smart guy."
Seeing Shen Xiao happy, Qiao Baozhu also laughed: "When we get together to work, we like to talk about family matters. As long as we guide them properly, we can collect the information we want."
“There are no secrets on the farm.”
Just like the matter of Manager Tong reselling private grain, anyone can find out if they pay attention.
Those who know the situation don’t dare to speak out because they know that the senior leaders of the farm must have been involved.
No one will cause trouble to themselves unless their own interests are affected.
“That’s a good idea.”
Shen Xiao nodded: "The place you are talking about is our home?"
His home environment is very good. He is willing to burn coal to heat the kang and light lamps, and the house is kept clean and tidy.
He had no objection to Qiao Baozhu's desire to turn her home into a lively place for communication. At worst, he can come back and clean up after work.
"Our home? That won't do. It's so dirty with so many people coming and going."
Qiao Baozhu looked disgusted, and before Shen Xiao could object, she started to get annoyed.
"I plan to ask Director Zhang for a warehouse tomorrow to store my handicrafts. I'll also find a few old tables and benches. Please help me run an electric line to the mutual aid society."
"There's free lighting, someone to light the stove, and people who like to gossip and chat will definitely like to come here."
Qiao Baozhu thought about it and realized that although she earned the same salary, her working hours were half that of others, which would sooner or later cause dissatisfaction among the employees.
Since the site office allowed her to use the mutual aid society's venue to collect shoe soles, Qiao Baozhu had to show her attitude.
She would not use the public space in vain, and could just pay the electricity bill of the cooperative. The key is that once everyone likes to come to the mutual aid society to borrow money to do work, it will also be convenient for Qiao Baozhu to do some small business.
The end of the year is approaching, and people in the city and the country need to buy things.
Qiao Baozhu wanted to make some money by taking advantage of the convenient delivery conditions.
Shen Xiao's execution ability is really strong. The electrical wires of the mutual aid society were installed by noon the next day.
The process for Qiao Baozhu to apply for the old tables from the field office had not yet reached the logistics department, but two old square tables and eight long benches were already in the mutual aid house.
"Baozhu, Captain Shen and his men installed an electric meter in our office. You see, we use a 40-watt light bulb in our room."
"He also brought this table and stools, saying they were specially for us to use."
"There are two baskets of bamboo shoots at the foot of the wall. They were also brought by him."
Gao Liman was as excited as a little child, showing off all the new things she had added to her office.
"Has the application for the warehouse been approved as well?"
Qiao Baozhu thought about going to Zhang Cuilian to ask during the afternoon working hours. Approval for the warehouse requires layers of approval and signatures, and it is not something that can be obtained just because you want it.
"It was Captain Shen who called the headquarters, and Secretary Yang came to inform them personally."
Gao Liman shook the warehouse key in her hand, her face full of joy and excitement.
Ji Hehua was also happy and praised Shen Xiao for being open-minded, supporting family members' work and supporting women's cause.
Seeing that there was someone else in the room, Qiao Baozhu pulled at Gao Liman's clothes a little embarrassedly.
"There are so many people here, you're almost there."
Gao Liman laughed and said, "Oh my, you are embarrassed."
It is said that people in this era are conservative, but in private, married women's jokes are extremely obscene.
Qiao Baozhu was afraid that Gao Liman didn't know what to say, so she quickly reminded her: "Be careful during working hours."
Gao Liman looked around and then closed her mouth in disappointment.
The three of them sat together and chatted for a while. More and more people came to ask about handicrafts and to ask Qiao Baozhu about the specifications of recycled handmade soles.
The three of them sat in their respective offices and began to work.
When Qiao Xifeng came in, what she saw was such a simple, warm yet professional scene.
At the two square tables in the east half of the room, women were sewing shoe soles and young mothers were learning handicrafts with their children.
Qiao Baozhu, Gao Liman and Ji Hehua were sitting at three tables on the west side, talking to people. Behind the three men was a warehouse separated by wooden boards, filled with sacks.
"Hey, get me some boxes."
Qiao Xifeng wore a hat and wrapped her head tightly with a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Standing in front of Ji Hehua, Qiao Xifeng looked arrogant, as if she was the leader.
Ji Hehua raised her head, met Qiao Xifeng's contemptuous gaze, and said lightly: "Comrade, what kind of paper box do you want?"
"Pill box or paper bag?"
"Have you ever pasted medicine boxes before? If you haven't, and you don't know the method well, you will be fined if you can't hand in the boxes."
Qiao Xifeng growled impatiently, "What's so special about a broken medicine box? Give me two hundred medicine boxes. No, give me five hundred."
He asked for five hundred right away. This was the first big business the mutual aid society had encountered since its opening.
"Comrade, five hundred is too many. Are you doing it alone or with your whole family? Are you an employee of our farm or a member of a cooperative? Please show me your ID card or letter of introduction so that I can register."
Qiao Xifeng didn't expect that pasting a medicine box would require a letter of introduction so much trouble. She felt that Ji Hehua was deliberately causing trouble for her and glared at her with angry eyes.
"My neighbor came to get the box without any ID. Why are you asking me for it?"
"You are treating me differently. I want to find your leader!"
