Chapter 367: For Work
Xiaoting and Dongzhe walked out of the school one after another. As usual, Xiaoting walked for a while before getting on Dongzhe's bicycle.
"There are only you and your aunt at home. I guess she asked you to go to Suihualou for dinner. Then I will eat and then go back and bring a portion for my mother. This way we don't have to cook in the evening."
When Dongzhe heard that Xiaoting was going to Suihualou, he decided to see her off and also decided to stay for dinner.
"My mother must want to see if there are many people eating dinner in the evening." Xiaoting replied.
"If I'm really busy, I'll... Hey! Why are you taking this road!" Dongzhe was just about to say he wanted to help with the work when he heard the creaking sound of a bicycle. He thought it was very familiar, so he turned around and saw that it was Pengfei.
"I'll go help!" Pengfei took two quick steps and rode to a position side by side with Dongzhe.
Since school started, Pengfei goes to Suihua Building first every day.
Zhu Xiu Yu would always come home at night. Suihua Building was big, so he could find a place to do his homework and then wait for Zhu Xiu Yu to come home from get off work, which was safer.
The three of them rode to the alley entrance and saw Huang Ling sitting in the front room drinking tea with the gauze curtains hung up.
They parked their bikes in the reserved parking space and went straight to the room.
"Auntie, I want to eat here too." Dongzhe made a request to Huang Ling.
"you......"
"I know, it's not a free meal. I'll go help distribute flyers now!" Dongzhe put down his schoolbag, rolled up his sleeves and went out.
"I'm going too!" Pengfei put down his schoolbag and followed Dongzhe.
"Mom, then... I'll go too." Xiaoting also said.
"Okay, go ahead! Just think of it as exercising your eyes after a day of reading." Huang Ling nodded.
She sat in the room, writing with her notes in hand, and when she looked up she saw her three children busy at work.
After a while, she heard laughter. She looked up and saw three children blocking Song Ying and teasing her.
"Comrade, are you dining alone? We have single set meals. Take a look, they are discounted and very cheap!" Dongzhe came forward to introduce.
"I'm eating with these three naughty monkeys!" Song Ying also joined in the fun.
"Comrade, I have the set meal here. Considering the appetite of these two naughty kids, I suggest you choose this one. It's large in portion and will fill you up!" Xiaoting then handed over the flyer in her hand.
"None of yours is suitable. Looking at this woman's temperament, you can tell she has tried all kinds of delicious food. I think you should choose our special set meal and try our new dishes. You can't get them anywhere else!" The last one was Pengfei.
"Good boy! Pengfei, you are so cruel. This meal will cost me three days' salary!" Song Ying finally took the list from Pengfei's hand, took a look at it, and laughed.
"Come, come, I'll take you in and choose the 'Qingxia' private room for you. How about it suits your temperament!" Dongzhe bowed and made a "please" gesture.
"You little bastard!" Song Ying slapped him on the back.
"Ouch! Beating up a waiter will result in a 10% service charge!"
"Then I'll beat him 100%!" Song Ying raised her hand.
After walking a few steps, she saw Huang Ling leaning against the window watching them play, so she said to Dongzhe:
"No need to deliver it. Don't think I don't know. If I do, I'll have to pay you for it later! Go and send out two more orders. I'll go in by myself."
"Okay, comrade, please slow down and be careful of the steps..." Dongzhe called out from behind Song Ying. After she entered the gate, he turned around and ran back to the entrance of the alley. He stood next to Xiaoting and whispered something to her.
Song Ying came into the house and sat next to Huang Ling, who had already cooled the tea for her.
"These naughty kids have learned all the tricks from you. If I didn't know their background, I would have been sold out by them and would still be happy to help them count their money!" Song Ying sighed as she drank her tea in one gulp.
"What do you mean you learned from me? Let's not talk about the other two. Don't blame me for whether Dongzhe inherited it from you and Lin Gong." Huang Ling bumped her arm.
"Wu Feng and I are so honest!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
"you!"
The two began to play cat and mouse.
"Stop, don't you have something to tell me? You were so angry. Are you calm now?" Huang Ling asked.
"Oh, yes, yes. Let me tell you..." Song Ying remembered the important matter.
"Look, you also said 'yes, yes, yes'. Just now I said, why are you tickling me!!" Huang Ling suddenly asked.
"Tsk! You! Then I won't talk to you anymore. You'll be so anxious."
"If you can hold it in, that's fine."
“…”
After three seconds of silence, Song Ying started to speak: "I'm telling you, I'm really mad..."
Huang Ling listened to her while holding back her laughter.
The story begins last night.
After dinner last night, she was watching silent TV at home.
She was afraid that turning on the volume would affect Dongzhe's studies, but she had nothing to do if not watch TV, so she turned on the TV with the volume down to kill time.
At this time, Wu Jianguo came to her with a watermelon in his hand.
When Song Ying saw this, she knew that something bad was going to happen! She closed Dongzhe's door and talked to Wu Jianguo in the yard.
In fact, Song Ying hadn't seen Wu Jianguo for a few days because he went out early and came back late.
The first thing Wu Jianguo said was Zhang Min's work problems.
The couple originally thought that it was bad enough that Zhang Min couldn't get a job in the cotton mill and had to work as a temporary worker in its branch factory, but they didn't expect that she wouldn't even be able to get a job as a temporary worker in the branch factory.
But the branch was not without students, she was just one of the few who were not kept.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being embarrassed, the couple did not talk about this in the alley. Song Ying heard about it from the people of the branch factory union when the two factory unions were holding a meeting together. Of course, she always pretended not to know.
Anyway, just try not to have any contact with the Wu family.
Song Ying also heard that Zhang A'mei had gone crazy because Zhang Min had completely lost her job, and went to the branch factory to make trouble.
Zhang A'mei said that because Zhang Min missed the opportunity to go to other factories because she went to the branch factory for internship, she had to take responsibility now that the branch factory didn't want Zhang Min.
Of course, the branch factory was not afraid of her making a fuss. The workshop director who had been in charge of Zhang Min enumerated all of Zhang Min's shortcomings in front of the employees who were watching the excitement. He said:
"When the interns came, they said they would hire based on merit. Everyone knows that! Why did the factory keep someone else and not Zhang Min? As a mother, you should know better! Why did you have to ask someone to tell you directly? And you still have the nerve to come to my door."
Zhang A-mei refused to accept the offer: "We are all students, and we are all the same. I think you are accepting benefits from others!"
"What gives you the right to say that? You're relying on conjecture and evidence. You're just talking nonsense. I'm telling you, I know what kind of person you are, Zhang A-mei. I'm not afraid of you! Your daughter is not handy, can't endure hardship, has no sense of responsibility, can't unite with her coworkers, and is a bit of a shrew. Anyone who takes her in is a fool! It's not like we don't have good children!"
"you......"
Zhang A-mei wanted to rush forward and scratch the director's face, but Zhang Min hugged her and cried, "Mom, let's go back! Stop it, stop it, we're so embarrassed."
"I can't let her say that to you!"
Zhang A-mei broke free and went up to scratch the director. The director didn't expect her to do that, and after getting scratched, everyone tried to stop her and said they would report her to the police.
Zhang Min was filled with shame, hatred and fear, so she could only hug her mother tightly. During the struggle, she fell to the ground and her knees were bleeding. Only then did Zhang A'mei stop.
She thought that letting Shanshan do everything would harm her, and that Zhang Min would enjoy herself without having to do anything, but she didn't expect the opposite to happen.
It is definitely impossible to go to the branch factory again.
Huang Ling knew about this a long time ago. She asked, "I just got my diploma, so I wanted to ask you about the current situation at the factory."
Song Ying waved her hand: "No, you don't know. Then going to the branch factory to make trouble is no big deal. Yesterday's big event hasn't reached your ears yet!"
