Chapter 467: Hardworking People, Trip to Beijing
Qin Wenjun felt sorry for him and wanted to help him several times, but she had children to take care of, and Zhang Wanwan's bakery also needed someone to stay at home, so she could only keep her worry to herself.
Zhang Baiyan enjoyed it, although he was busy, he earned a lot. Before, he earned tens of thousands of yuan a month for helping Zhang Wanwan, and he would get dividends at the end of the year, but that was Zhang Wanwan's business after all, and he knew his position clearly. But it was different now, the factory was his, at least he was the biggest shareholder, and if he worked hard, he could also have his own business.
Not only he thought so, Li Yongfu felt the same way. He was truly grateful and cherished the good fortune of being able to have such a thing in his middle age. He worked even harder. If he had to rest, he would really like to work on the production line 24 hours a day like a machine.
Lu Cui still sells seafood in the vegetable market as before. With the help of the Zhang family, she becomes more diligent in going to the Zhang family. From time to time, she brings some unsold fresh seafood to the Zhang family, and occasionally chats with Zhang's mother who is holding her grandson.
Seeing her going out in the wind and rain every day, Zhang's mother couldn't help but persuade her: "Now the children are grown up and have their own jobs. They can earn money to support the family. My eldest brother also earns a lot in the factory. Although this is just the beginning, I heard from Bai Yan that there are a lot of orders now and they are all busy. If things continue at this rate, why would your family need you to earn this hard-earned money?"
Lu Cui is now in her fifties or sixties. She has suffered for most of her life and looks much older than her actual age. Zhang's mother really feels sorry for her.
Lu Cui grinned and said, "Don't try to persuade me. I don't know what to do at home. Is there anyone who is idle in every rural household? Even the elderly are doing odd jobs. I can't stand it if you let me stay at home and stare at the TV all day. It's better to go out and make money. People who have something to do won't get sick. Besides, the children's money belongs to the children. Your eldest brother has to wait for the dividends at the end of the year. Don't I have to pay for the usual expenses of the family? It would be so awkward to ask the children for money! Don't underestimate my stall. It's the end of the year now, and the prices of things have increased. I buy goods from the factory and sell them. The price is much cheaper than others. Business is booming! Even though some things have to be bought from the wholesale market, I sell them at the same price as others. There is no advantage, but they sell better than others. I make two or three thousand more than others a month. How can I bear to let it go?"
What Lu Cui said in front of Zhang's mother was completely straightforward, shocking her. "Okay, okay, I won't say any more to you. I have to go back and clean up, cook, and have hot meals for the children when they come back later."
Seeing that she was really enjoying it, Zhang's mother stopped persuading her. Now that her relatives from her mother's side were earning more and more thanks to their family, their lives were getting better and better, so she had nothing to worry about.
Because she was too happy, Zhang's mother teased her grandson in her arms, then carried him downstairs to play with Qin Wenjun. When she entered the door, she was very careful not to disturb the employees who were working on the other side. Only when she entered the baking room did Zhang's mother breathe a sigh of relief.
When Qin Wenjun saw her son coming over, a big smile spread across her face. "Mom, why did you bring Xiao Ning here? I still have to be busy here for a while."
Zhang Chengning kept reaching out to Qin Wenjun for a hug, his big eyes were so watery that no one could resist. Zhang Wanwan smiled with a mask on, "Sister-in-law, hold him for a while and feed him some steamed milk cake, he can eat this."
Qin Wenjun then took her son in. The little baby started to struggle in her arms, babbling with excitement.
Mother Zhang shook her head as she watched, "You heartless little thing, why didn't you look so happy when grandma was taking care of you!"
The little baby seemed not to hear anything and hugged Qin Wenjun's neck tightly, making everyone laugh.
As the twelfth lunar month approached, the temperature in the south dropped sharply. This winter, it has been sunny all the time. Even with a strong north wind, the sky was still high and the clouds were light. Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue also began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave for Beijing.
Before leaving, Zhang's mother specially prepared some local specialties for them to take with them.
Although the Huo family was not short of these things, Zhang Wanwan knew that this was a gift from Zhang's mother, and the people in the Huo family would be very happy to receive them, so she followed Zhang's mother's wishes and took the things along.
When the plane arrived in Beijing, Huo Liang drove over to pick us up.
Zhang Wanwan was a little shocked when she saw the person coming. Huo Liang was Huo Rongwei's only son and the eldest grandson of the Huo family. He was the hope of all the elders of the Huo family, and he did not disappoint his father and grandfather. He joined the army when he was a teenager, and was promoted all the way. He also graduated from a military academy. His current rank is very high, and he has learned the true skills of Huo Rongwei, and even his temperament is very similar. With him, the Huo family has been able to stand for decades. Such a busy man should not have the time to come and pick them up.
The two got in the car, and Leng Ziyue asked first: "Why are you here? Where's the driver?"
Huo Rongwei curled his lips in amusement, "Why? Are you unhappy that I came to pick you up?"
"That's not the case, it's just a few unexpected things!" Leng Ziyue narrowed his eyes lazily.
Huo Liang's face changed drastically, and he said seriously, "You should be fine in Pu City. Since that banquet, the Leng family has been very active, sending three waves of people to Pu City. Fortunately, our people have been keeping an eye on them, and those people all returned empty-handed. But now you are in Jing City, a place where even our powerful hands and eyes can't protect and take care of everything. If you have nothing to do, stay in the old house and don't go out. It's not safe outside."
Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently and silently held Leng Ziyue's hand.
Leng Ziyue, in turn, held her hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look.
Zhang Wanwan received a call just after the car arrived at the Huo family's old house. She was stunned after seeing the caller ID. She glanced at Leng Ziyue before picking up the phone, "Hello, professor."
On the way to Zhiguzhai, Zhang Wanwan said to Leng Ziyue with a wry smile: "I never expected this mistake."
Leng Ziyue was calm, "Since the old professor invited me, I have to go. Besides, it will be good for you to go."
Of course Zhang Wanwan understood what Leng Ziyue meant. If it weren't for this turbulent time, she would have happily gone to the appointment and, by the way, reacquainted herself with those interesting people from her previous life.
When the car passed a club, Leng Ziyue suddenly said, "Wait."
The driver slammed on the brakes. Zhang Wanwan looked outside in confusion and saw a group of unproductive rich second-generations hugging beautiful women outside the club. They had obscene expressions and seemed to be planning to do something bad.
