Chapter 107 He Returns
After talking for a long time, Xu Gang finally figured out that Xu Yao wanted to buy a factory in the name of Xu Gang.
No wonder Xu Yao asked him that.
An employee can only buy one house.
Xu Yao was worried that he would blame her for taking up the quota for buying a house.
Not to mention that he only has about 300 yuan on hand, which is not enough to buy a house.
Even if it is enough, it doesn't matter. He is willing to give it up. We are the closest family members by blood, so why should we distinguish between you and me?
The sun was growing higher, and even though I was sitting in the main room, the sweat was pouring down my body.
Liu Mei knew that her daughter was delicate, so she turned on the fan and blew it towards her, and also took out the sour plum soup she had made to cool her down.
While drinking the sour and sweet plum soup, Xu Yao glanced at Liu Mei's busy figure, pulled her and asked her to take a break and stop working.
"I just cook and do housework at home. How can it be considered hard work? If I were in the countryside, I would still be weeding in the fields right now."
As Liu Mei spoke, Xu Weidong quickly climbed up the pole.
"This is all thanks to me. If I were a worker, how could you and your two children have such a comfortable life? Quickly move the fan closer to me."
Xu Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "According to what you said, the fan was brought back by me, so please stop fanning it."
After a pause, he continued.
"You work in a textile factory, so it shouldn't be hard for you to get a piece of cloth, right? Even if you are not asked to take back the good cloth, you can always get a piece of defective cloth, right?"
Just like working in a winery, employees can enjoy internal discounts when buying wine and soda. I can bring a few bottles of soda home tomorrow.
"You think too simply. There are so many people in the factory, how can there be enough defective cloth to share?" Xu Weidong looked alert.
"How do you know you can't do it if you don't try? Your warehouse reports damage and loss every month. Why don't you give the warehouse manager money and ask him to make up for the loss? As for why he helped you, give him a pack of red-shelled peonies and try."
"If it works, we'll all be happy, and I can even make you some clothes with the defective cloth. If it doesn't work, you can keep it for yourself."
The last time she and Liu Mei went to the textile factory to look for personnel, they waited for a while. Xu Yao stuffed a few cigarettes to other staff members in the office and asked them how they dealt with defective cloth.
Although their explanation was vague, Xu Yao, who had experience in company management, guessed it almost right.
There must be quite a few termites in the textile factory, otherwise such a large factory would not have collapsed so quickly.
Xu Weidong would not lose anything whether it succeeded or not, so he agreed.
Xu Yao smiled and said, "I want cyan or blue, not too fancy colors, and thicker material, not too thin."
When the time comes, I will make some clothes for Liu Mei and Ji's mother, and start preparing autumn clothes and cotton-padded clothes. Xu Gang’s quilt cover is almost worn out, and Ji’s mother’s bedding is not new either.
A piece of cloth is about forty or fifty meters long, so if you calculate it this way, a piece of cloth is not much.
Xu Yao drank some chicken soup at home at noon and stayed there until the afternoon. When the sun got a little smaller, she opened her umbrella and went home.
Before going out, Sun Daying came over to sit with him.
She had just returned from her parents' home, and her forehead was covered in sweat, which she wiped away casually.
"Guess what happened when I went back this time? Zhang Hongzhi's mother asked me to introduce a date to her daughter Hongzhi."
"I said Hongzhi is in such a bad state that not only the city people but also the country people look down on her. No matter how old or ugly she is, her family only has one request, which is to marry her far away."
"Remember the paralytic I mentioned when I first went on a blind date? Their two families agreed to meet."
The paralytic...
He was originally an honest worker, but his two legs were caught in the machine and became disabled.
Not to mention that he needs his wife to take care of his pee and poop.
He has a very bad temper and is prone to smashing things and hitting people.
Xu Yao sighed for a while, "Your family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"They asked me for money, but I didn't give them any." Sun Daying pursed her lips, "I sent them two bottles of wine and three rice dumplings, which was good enough. By the way, Sister Xu Yao, Xu Qiang went to your place to make trouble, did you guys do anything?"
Liu Mei and Xu Gang, who were sitting nearby, stood up suddenly upon hearing what happened and asked quickly.
Xu Weidong frowned.
I didn't tell them because I didn't want to make them worry. Xu Yao glanced at Sun Daying, who knew he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head.
"It's okay. I have nothing to fear. He found a couple from Zhoukou Commune to be witnesses. They took my side, and Xu Qiang didn't get any benefit at all."
"Next time I see him, I will beat him to death." Xu Gang pounded the wall.
Sun Daying listened to the noise, shrank his neck, and made an excuse to leave.
When Xu Yao returned to her husband's home, Xu Gang brought her a chicken and a large sack of mountain products.
The things were too heavy for her to carry, so Xu Gang took her back to the city.
The cold widow who was guarding the door saw them, stared at the sky and looked away.
It was still early, so Xu Gang stayed for dinner.
After Xu Yao sent the people away, He Yin came impatiently.
He asked them eagerly what good things they had brought from the countryside.
It might not be so easy to eat chicken in the future, so Xu Yao planned to keep it for herself and gave her five kilograms of chestnuts.
"They were all picked from the mountains. I didn't spend any money on them. Consider them as a gift to you."
"No, I won't be able to do that. I'll be embarrassed to ask you to carry things for me in the future. You know I don't need this little money."
He Yin insisted on giving money, so Xu Yao had to go with her.
She wanted to ask Deng Dawen what was going on, but he didn't talk about that topic, so she knew better than to ask any more questions.
When I came out of He Yin's house, I happened to meet Fang Yinzhang who came to talk to He Yin.
Xu Yao smiled at the other party but didn't say anything about giving it as a gift.
They have already sent quite a bit, enough to cover two exam places and review papers.
Giving more gifts would only whet their appetites and make them feel like she owed them a huge favor.
Xu Yao took Xu Jiaan for a stroll in the yard.
Seeing Zhu Zhongju washing dishes by the sink, the two greeted each other.
Zhu Zhongju called them.
"I saw An An coming back from class at the Children's Palace. My son Chen Chen also wanted to go. You know a lot about that place. Can you tell me what courses are there?"
Xu Yao was naturally happy to help with such a small matter and explained the course in detail.
"All those things are useless. The motorcycle model sounds intimidating at first, but can a child really build a motorcycle? I think Sanda is only useful, so that you can fight back if you are bullied."
Xu Yao felt that she was mirroring herself and asking Xu Jiaan to learn car models, and she had no desire to talk any more.
"We don't expect children to learn anything, the main thing is to cultivate their interests and hobbies."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhu Zhongju suddenly murmured.
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder if Brother Peng can come back to celebrate the festival."
"They should be on leave. If not, you can go see him. It's only a few stops away."
Zhu Zhongju looked at Xu Yao and suddenly laughed.
"You're right. No matter what, I can always see someone tomorrow."
On the Dragon Boat Festival.
Ji's mother steamed some rice dumplings in the morning and asked Ji Yanyu to bring two to Ji Bai.
There are less than two weeks left before the college entrance examination, and there is no holiday for senior high school students.
They had roasted chestnut chicken for lunch, and in the afternoon, Ji Bai and Ji Yanyu went home together to celebrate the festival.
As the family was having a sumptuous dinner, Ji Yanyu muttered to herself, "It would be nice if my eldest brother was at home."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yao cautiously.
Ji's mother subconsciously looked at Xu Yao, and seeing a trace of disappointment flash across the latter's face, she quietly raised the corner of her lips.
"An An, do you miss your daddy?"
Xu Jiaan lowered his head and concentrated on eating when he suddenly heard a male voice. He wondered who was missing him. He wished he would never come back.
Suddenly realizing that the voice was familiar, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Another blink.
The tall figure at the door had already strode to Xu Yao's side, looking at them with a smile in his black eyes.
"Are you stupid?"
