Chapter 85 Discovery
Lunch in the cafeteria.
Ye Qian asked Li Manyu, who was sitting next to her, "Do you know where to buy a pot? A big pot?"
Li Manyu wondered why Ye Qian asked this: "Do you want to buy it? The department store has it."
Ye Qian was puzzled: "I've been to the department store several times, but I didn't see any pots."
Li Manyu replied: "Did you only see the small pot? Just ask the salesperson, they didn't put it out."
Ye Qian understood: "Is that right? Then I'll go ask."
After the two finished their meal, Ye Qian returned to the dormitory and continued typing.
It was almost time to go to work, and Ye Qian hurried back to work. She lived in a hurry every day, but Ye Qian liked this kind of life very much. She was not yet young, so there was no need to live in a comfortable retirement state every day. Only by being busy could she feel energetic.
In her previous life, Ye Qian's working status was in retirement mode. From graduation until she was 30 years old, she was completely exhausted. She felt that she might not be able to do many things before she even started, so she gave up. Now that she finally had the chance to start over, Ye Qian also wanted to try her best and see if she could do it.
In the afternoon, Ye Qian wrote the content of the blackboard newspaper and gave it to Xu Yaoyao for review.
In the past, Xu Yaoyao had prejudices against Ye Qian and didn't like her very much, but now she has put aside these prejudices and sees that Ye Qian is indeed a little different. She feels that Ye Qian is really talented. After reading the manuscript, she returned it to her and asked Li Manyu to cooperate with Ye Qian to complete the blackboard newspaper.
The two went to the bulletin board. Ye Qian first wiped off the content with a cloth, leaving a place for writing. She designed the other areas in her mind and started drawing. Li Manyu helped Ye Qian copy the text.
Li Manyu saw Ye Qian pointing at the blackboard and shaking her head, and thought that Ye Qian couldn't draw. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, Ye Qian had arranged the work.
Li Manyu didn't think much about it and started writing the manuscript. Ye Qian had already thought of the idea when Li Manyu felt that she was shaking her head.
The place where Ye Qian wanted to draw the blackboard was not big, only half the size of the blackboard in later generations, so there was no need to draw a lot of pictures on it.
It is summer now. Ye Qian left some space above the words and drew a few leaves. Next to the words, she drew a tree. Under the tree, there was a child with a round face and chubby hands. It seemed that the child wanted to climb up the tree and catch the insects on it. The child was only drawn in silhouette, and the smile at the corners of his mouth and eyes could not be seen.
There was an empty space next to it, so Ye Qian thoughtfully wrote down some tips on how to prevent heatstroke.
Don't expect to be able to write any great tips. Not every household has a refrigerator these days. I just want to remind everyone to drink more water, wear a hat when going out, and avoid sunburn.
Ye Qian had finished drawing, and Li Manyu had also finished. Li Manyu put down the chalk in her hand, took a few steps back and looked at the blackboard newspaper again, her eyes lit up.
The style of the blackboard newspaper is completely different from the previous one. The previous blackboard newspaper did have some colors added and some paintings on it, but the result was dull.
But what I saw today was completely different. The child was wearing red shorts and white clothes, and he was stretching out his hands to catch the bugs on the screen, as if they were about to jump out. It was very vivid and beautiful. And there were some thoughtful little tips over there. It turned out that this bulletin board could be made this way.
Li Manyu looked back at Ye Qian and couldn't help but sigh at what kind of brain Ye Qian had.
Ye Qian didn't know what Li Manyu was thinking. Even if she knew, Ye Qian would just want to wave her hand and tell everyone, don't praise me, really don't praise me, I will really crawl into a hole in the ground.
These things are very basic in later generations, but they are ahead of their time. It’s not that Ye Qian is smart, but that you are ignorant.
Isn't that just ignorance? No one in this era has ever seen these things.
Finally, Li Manyu added the attribute name Ye Qian below. Ye Qian refused to just write her own name and insisted on adding Li Manyu's name as well.
Li Manyu felt that she was just helping out and there was no need to write her own name.
But Ye Qian thought differently. What's the point of helping out? This was something that everyone did together, so it was normal to write the name on it. Li Manyu couldn't argue with Ye Qian, so in the end, she added her name as Ye Qian said.
After completing the task, the two returned to the union and reported to Xu Yaoyao.
Xu Yaoyao didn't expect the two to come back so soon, so she planned to go and check. After Xu Yaoyao went out, she found that there were several people surrounding the bulletin board. Her heart started pounding, wondering if something had gone wrong.
After walking over and squeezing through the crowd to see the bulletin board, I saw the scene in front of me. It wasn't that shocking, but it was very novel and attractive, making people want to take a second look.
After Xu Yaoyao returned to the office, she praised Ye Qian a few words and asked everyone to go and watch and learn. After hearing this, Ye Qian wanted to dig a hole in the ground again.
There are not many people in the Grain Bureau, but each position is fully staffed. Everyone in each department does a little bit of work, so it is not busy every day.
Ye Qian also had no work to do after she finished drawing the blackboard newspaper on Monday.
Day after day passed, and soon it was the weekend. Ye Qian sent the letter, saved the money, and went to the department store.
After entering the department store, Ye Qian took a look around and saw the place where pots were sold, but there were still no big pots outside.
Ye Qian walked over and asked the salesperson with a try-it attitude: "Excuse me, do you have any large pots for sale?"
The salesperson glanced at Ye Qian and said, "Yes."
Ye Qian's eyes lit up. What Li Manyu said was right. Sure enough, there were some. "I want two. How much?"
The salesperson gave me a scornful look. "A large pot costs 18.80 yuan, and you need 16 industrial coupons."
Ye Qian smacked her lips in amazement. The price wasn't expensive, but the amount of industrial coupons required was really high. Our company only issued two industrial coupons a month, which were enough to buy a towel, toothbrush, and toothpaste. If she wanted to buy other things, she would need to borrow them. The key was that she had to pay them back, so she would have to save every month from now on.
The industrial coupons that Ye Qian had after she started working were of no use. After saving them for so long, they were enough to buy a pot, but Ye Qian still felt the pain.
There's nothing I can do even if it hurts, I still have to buy it.
Ye Qian took out money and tickets to buy two, but the salesperson refused to sell her two and she could only buy one.
Later, Ye Qian took out her work ID, and the salesperson let her buy two.
Ye Qian walked out of the department store carrying the big pot. She definitely couldn't carry the pot back with her on her back. So she went to the alley on the side, put the pot into her space, then came out of the alley, took the bus home with a relaxed look on her face.
Gu Jinyan watched the whole process. Ye Qian came out of the department store after buying a pot. Gu Jinyan was going to go over and get it for her, but Ye Qian turned and went into the alley. When she came out a while later, the pot was gone.
