"Uncle Zhuang, the people at the textile factory are so nice. They even sent a car to help us take it back. You can meet them there."
"Oh, okay, I'll bring Liu Song to pick you up."
The two men talked and Zhuang Xiangnan almost jumped up in excitement.
The problem of fabrics was temporarily solved. Zhuang Xiangnan hung up the phone and went to eat. He put his hands on his waist and walked to the door and shouted, "Liu Song, quickly clean up the warehouse in the backyard. Make sure to clean up everything inside.
There is still half a bag of cement in the corner of the wall. Hurry up and seal up the holes. Don’t let the rats eat up the fabric.”
Liu Song was praising the big meat bun.
Although 놛 returned to the tailor shop to work, no one came into the shop all day. 놛꺗 was a free person, so he simply came to the clothing shop to help.
Zhuang Xiangnan also bought lunch from the state-owned hotel, four big meat buns for each person.
It is big in size, full of fillings, and filled with sizzling meat soup. It tastes so good.
I had just eaten two and was not yet full. I was about to eat the third when I received instructions from Manager Zhuang.
"Uncle Zhuang, has the fabric problem been solved?"
"Well, it's solved. We have more cloth than last time. It should last at least a month." Zhuang Xiangnan smiled so much that his eyes were exposed, and an extra wrinkle appeared on his face.
Hey! How did Cheng Yunan do it?
I paid back half of the money in the past, and not only was I not kicked out of the factory, I also got back a large amount of fabric. This person is really good to you, Manager Zhuang.
놛I really want to go to the clothing store and follow Cheng Yunan, what should I do?
"Okay, Uncle Zhuang, I'll be right there."
After quickly finishing the meat buns in the bag, I went to the warehouse in the backyard and started cleaning up.
There were a lot of miscellaneous things in it, and it was too much for one person to carry, so he went to the back and asked his childhood friend Liuzi to come over and help.
The warehouse was big and it was cleaned up in half an hour. I took a rag and water and mopped it all over. I poured cement slurry into all the holes in the four corners and sealed the rat holes.
The windows and door panels also needed to be repaired. Fortunately, I knew some simple carpentry work, so I fixed it all with a few clangs.
Huang Ying took advantage of the break to drink some water and learned that Cheng Yunan had dealt with the fabric issue. She came out and explained everything to Lu Xiaoyue and the others. Originally, they were still worried that the store would close, but now they were completely relieved.
The place was already prepared to receive the goods. When Cheng Yunan came out after finishing her call, a small truck was already parked at the door.
Two men were moving goods on the truck with their bare chests.
Cheng Yunan didn't go near. Although the delivery was arranged by the factory, she didn't want to pay a penny.
It is very necessary to build good relationships with these truck drivers.
After rummaging around in the space, I finally pulled out two tea boxes from the storage room.
However, the packaging was too exquisite and it was definitely not from this era. Cheng Yunan thought about it and wrapped it with two pieces of old newspapers.
Well, it’s a bit ugly, not as round as the tea cakes of later generations, but it’s just barely acceptable.
These drivers are on the road all day long. Although they drive at night, they are still tired and sleepy after driving all day. The two most important things to help them stay awake are tea and cigarettes.
The cigarettes she had stockpiled were gone, so she served tea instead.
These two things are very impressive.
The goods had already been loaded onto the truck. Cheng Yunan said, "Uncles, you are so nice to let you come along for a trip during the lunch break."
"What's the big deal? We'll just do whatever our superiors tell us to do."
Besides, there is no such thing as a break.
Cheng Yunan smiled and took out the prepared tea from her small bag and handed it to him: "This is the wild tea my family found in the wild. Have a cup and drink it to refresh yourself."
"Yeah, it tastes really good. I, Old Zhang, will be polite to you then." Zhang Qiang didn't even refuse. He put it under his nose and smelled it. The faint tea fragrance immediately made him feel more energetic.
Zhang Qiang's eyes lit up. This was a good thing, so he accepted it immediately.
This stuff is really not easy to handle. The two bottles of tea our factory distributed were old tea from last year, and the tea leaves were stuck in my throat.
This little girl is quite grown up, and she knows how to deal with people in a proper way.
Seeing Zhang Qiang's expression, Lao Lu knew that the tea was wrong, so he quickly put it away. "Girl, push your bike over here and put it on the cart. Lao Zhang and I will give you a ride."
"Yes, there's room in the back. It's much faster than your bike."
There is such a good thing!
Cheng Yunan thanked him quickly, grabbed the handle and jumped into the car.
"Hey little girl, you're not right!"
Zhang Qiang sat in the driver's seat and Lao Lu jumped in as well.
The car started, and Cheng Yunan blushed, "Uncle Zhang, was your truck driver's handling wrong?"
Lao Lu sighed, "How should I put it? If compared with ordinary workers, the salary is not bad, but our transport team is divided into two types, one is long-distance and the other is short-distance. The long-distance workers have higher wages and allowances, so they earn more. For short-distance workers like me and Lao Zhang, there is no future, so it is just like that."
Cheng Yunan understands this.
The long ones will have a gray harvest.
For example, smuggling contraband.
This gray income may be higher than the salary, so long-distance driver is a lucrative job.
A short trip is fine.
Under the leader's watchful eyes, I work hard but earn less than others, which makes me feel awkward.
Cheng Yunan smiled and said: "There are pros and cons. Long-distance earning is more, but you can spend less time with your family. No matter what happens, you can always find someone to help.
But you are different. You spend the whole day with your family, eat hot meals, and sleep well. This kind of family happiness is also available to long-distance drivers. "
"That's true. We had hit a dead end before."
The journey was long, but the three of them chatted and laughed until they arrived in front of the clothing store.
"Hey! When did this clothing store open here? Business is pretty good!"
"I know about this. When I went home yesterday, my wife mentioned it to me. The clothes here are better looking than the ones I bought for her in the provincial capital before. They are also on sale at the opening. My wife is thinking about it at home and wants to come over to buy some."
"Is it really that good? Then I'll go back later and ask my wife to bring my sister over to have a look."
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Lu, we just opened this clothing store. Just ask the ladies to come. I'll give them the cost price."
"Oh, I didn't realize that this clothing store is actually owned by you guys. Tsk, tsk! It's really bad. The business is worse than the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital."
"Hehe! Uncle Zhang, please bring your aunt to show your support in the future."
"That's no problem. I'll call my wife over when I get back."
The two men drove the car to the back yard. The warehouse was right there, so they could unload the goods directly from there.
Liu Song called Lu Jianshe to come over and help, and the four of them finished the unloading in about half an hour.
Before leaving, Zhang Qiang patted his chest and said, "Xiao Cheng, if you have any problems in the future, just let me know. I have nothing else to do, so it's no problem for me to help you with some private work."
"Okay, thank you so much, Uncle Zhang!" After saying goodbye to the two people, everyone smiled as they looked at the fabrics piled up in the warehouse.
