Chapter 165 Set out again for the capital
"In our group, Sister Ou is the most well-informed. Nothing is hidden from you." Everyone is a gossiper, so it's comfortable to hear that, so naturally some people will compliment her.
"That's right. Nothing that happens in our workshop goes unnoticed by me." Sister Ou raised her chin confidently, with complacency in her eyes.
When it was almost time to get off work, Team Leader Zhang told her the decision of the workshop, "The foreman has approved the holiday. It will be exactly one week from tomorrow. You will be back to work next Monday."
"Okay, thank you, Team Leader." Dai Qing didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"The vacation has been approved, but as a little girl, you should be more careful when doing anything." Team Leader Zhang looked at her and whispered.
"Thank you for your concern, Team Leader. I will be careful."
Dai Qing smiled gently, and when she looked up she noticed that the forehead of Team Leader Zhang was pale. She was stunned and looked at his face carefully.
A person's face is divided into three parts: the upper, middle and lower parts. The parent palace is located at the sun corner and moon corner of the upper part, representing the father and mother respectively. Team leader Zhang's sun corner is sunken and the moon corner is light white, indicating that he only has an old mother left in his family.
If the tip of the nose and the crescent corner turn white, it indicates that the mother will have a disaster and the owner will lose money.
"Team leader, if you trust me, please pay more attention to our old mother at home these few days. Don't let her act alone to avoid accidents." This reminder was a way to repay the team leader for his care for her.
Team Leader Zhang: “…”
What do you mean? What happened to his mother?
Looking at the girl's back as she left, Team Leader Zhang subconsciously wanted to chase her, but after taking two steps he stopped and couldn't help laughing. He was almost fooled by a little girl.
His mother is in good health, can eat, drink and dance, what could go wrong?
Dai Qing returned home, took a hot shower, washed her work clothes, and then went to bed.
The next day, I opened my eyes at 8:30 in the morning, after breakfast, I went to the information stand outside to call Yan Biao and told him that I would take a day off today and asked him to arrange his schedule.
Less than three minutes after the pager call was made, the call came back, "Hey, Sister Dai, you are so efficient."
"Of course, you can make the arrangements next."
"No problem. Leave the rest to me. I'll start booking the tickets as soon as possible." Dai Qing could hear the levity in Yan Biao's tone through the phone.
Without paying much attention, they cooperated and each got what they needed.
After paying the phone bill, Dai Qing simply packed a change of clothes, took her dog, a few bowls and ten eggs, and went to Aunt Wang's house.
"Xiao Qing is here." Zhang Dui saw Dai Qing coming with the dog and immediately knew what she meant. "What's going on? Are you going out?"
"Aunt Zhang, I have to go out for a week because of something unexpected. I have already asked for leave from the factory. I have to leave Xiao Hei with you for a few days."
Dai Qing looked at Xiao Hei and suddenly felt a little guilty. If she had to run around every day in the future, Xiao Hei would have to stay in other people's homes all the time.
Given her conditions, perhaps she is not suitable for raising a dog. It was also her fault that she was too impulsive. When she saw Xiao Hei, she wanted to take him home.
Now when I go out, I have to ask someone to look after me.
Zhang Dove looked at what Dai Qing was carrying and agreed without hesitation.
"Oh, it's okay. You can leave Xiao Hei here without worry. Xiao Hua is playing with him and he's having a lot of fun." Zhang Pigeon wiped her hands on her apron and took the bag from Dai Qing.
"Is this all for Xiao Hei?"
"Ahem, no, these are some New Year's gifts for Mom and Aunt Zhang. They have been kept in the refrigerator. Aunt Zhang, please don't reject them. As for Xiao Hei, just let him eat it with Xiao Hua."
The last time I sent food to him, it was because Xiao Hei was so young. Now he is half a year old and just needs to eat anything. It’s only for a few days, so I can’t treat him specially, otherwise people will complain about him.
"Hey, you are just being polite, girl. We are neighbors, shouldn't we look out for each other? Why are you sending me gifts specially? How awkward is that?"
She liked the fact that the child was sensible and could not be faulted.
"Ever since Juanzi came back from dinner at your house last time, she has been talking about how the New Year's goods you prepared were rich and delicious, unlike ours, which always have the same old things and never change the taste, and we are tired of them."
"Now, Auntie, try it too. What's the difference between your New Year's goods and mine?"
"It's almost the same. Juanzi was teasing you on purpose." Dai Qing smiled softly, hung Xiao Hei's rope on the pomegranate tree branch, and stroked its head. "Be good and listen to me. Wait for me to come back and pick you up. Don't bite anything."
Xiao Hei lowered his head, resting his head on her hand, and looked a little depressed.
"Hey, Xiao Hei is very human. It's hard to bear to see him. Don't worry, dogs are just like children. If you leave for a while, he will be fine. He will be happy in half a day."
Zhang Pigeon looked at their reluctant expressions and smiled.
After returning from Aunt Wang's house, Dai Qing had just sat at home for a while when Secretary Yang drove over. "Sister Dai, the boss asked me to pick you up. He's already waiting at the train station. The train is at 12 noon, an express train, and will arrive at 9:30 pm."
"Okay, let's go."
Dai Qing carried her small black bag, locked the door, got in a van, and went directly to the train station.
The trains at that time were not yet speeded up, and even the express trains still took nearly ten hours.
At the entrance to the station, Yan Biao, Hu Zi and Xin Wa were already waiting.
"Sister Dai, here."
"Sister Dai, let me help you carry your bag." Xinwa stepped forward smartly, took Dai Qing's backpack, checked his ticket and entered the station.
"I specially used my connections to buy a few soft sleeper beds, so there's no crowding between four of us." Yan Biao walked beside Dai Qing and explained with a smile.
Dai Qing was surprised. Not everyone could sit in a soft sleeper at that time?
There are identity restrictions for people who ride in soft sleeper cars. They must have a letter of introduction issued by a unit and be at the municipal level or above with a senior professional title to be eligible.
If you don't meet the conditions, you can only buy a hard sleeper.
This regulation was not abolished until 1995. As soon as the news came out, it was immediately reported in the newspapers and caused a lot of discussion. She remembers it very clearly.
Seeing Dai Qing's questioning look, Yan Biao did not hide it.
"Hehe... This is all a convenience given by Boss Dong. He must have been touched when he saw me specially running over to wish him a happy new year, so he specially asked someone to prepare a letter of introduction. It's valid for one month, and I just caught up with it."
Dai Qing understood. No wonder this guy was licking other people's butt cracks like a servile grandson. He saw the rights of the other party.
The soft sleeper is a four-person room with a sliding door and independent space. Hot water and meals are also provided. You can eat in the dining car with a ticket, or have meals delivered to your door.
This is the superiority of soft sleeping.
Dai Qing leaned on the quilt with her coat on her legs. She either slept or read during the whole journey. Yan Biao and the others did not dare to make any noise. They just lay down on their beds obediently and even ate the snacks they brought with them in the aisle.
At 9:30 in the evening, the train arrived at Capital West Station on time.
