165 I want grandma to hear the sound of the sea.
We still need to make some preparations before going to the capital to display our products.
Su Taotao rushed out a brief introduction of the factory and products last night, adding several products that have not yet been launched on the market. She also drew a brochure with the first product for product promotion and asked Xiao Lu to send it to the printing factory as soon as possible, and it must be delivered to the train station before 5 pm.
The factory's affairs have also been explained. Xia Zhiqiu and Aunt Zhong will temporarily act as the factory director. They can be consulted for any matters. In fact, as long as the production is normal and quality control is done well, it will be fine. Now the team leader of each group has been selected and will be responsible for the products of each group. Ensuring safe production is the most important thing.
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu helped cut hundreds of coconuts in the factory, and their hands were numb. In the end, Su Taotao gave each of them fifty cents, which made them very happy.
An ordinary worker only gets about one yuan a day, excluding rest days. Fifty cents for two half-grown children for half a day is really a lot.
Mumu went to the capital for such a big thing, but Aunt Zhong, who was struggling to make ends meet, only gave him one yuan as a reserve fund. Aunt
Zhong said that food, accommodation and travel expenses were provided, and he didn't have to spend a penny. The one yuan was for emergencies, and he had to pay it back if he didn't use it.
Mumu wanted to find an emergency right away to spend the money.
Engineer Mo was better off, with ten yuan, but it was also reserve funds, and he had to pay it back if he didn't use it.
When Mo Gong touched the big reunion note, he sighed that he hadn't seen such a large amount of money in his pocket for a long time.
Both father and son were in dire straits. The sum of their small coffers was not as much as Fu Yuanhang's, because Fu Yuanhang received another month's pocket money, plus the royalties for drawing the cover and the pocket money saved last month, which was a few cents more than Mo Gong and his son combined.
In short, this was Mu Mu's sad thing, so it was better not to mention it.
However, Aunt Zhong secretly gave Su Taotao a hundred yuan: "My husband is always losing things. No matter how much money he has, he never has any left. Please hold this for me. You can spend money on the way and pay for Mumu's share from here. Don't pay for it yourself. I will give you more when I come back."
Aunt Zhong usually doesn't care about Mo Gong when she doesn't take the children out. He is such a big man and can always solve problems. If he needs to spend a lot of money, the company can also help pay for it. Just make up for it when you come back. No matter how much money Mo Gong has, it will not be enough to make up for what he loses.
Su Taotao knew Aunt Zhong's character and didn't be polite to her. She held the money for her and could return it to her when she came back if she didn't need it.
Su Taotao arranged the factory affairs, and went to the Yuhong class with Fu Yuanhang to pick up Fu Haochen and take him to the cafeteria for lunch, then went home to pack up.
Going on a long trip and returning to your hometown, there are really a lot of things to pack.
Before packing, Su Taotao called two little gentlemen to a meeting:
"Children, you must control the size of your packages. Chenchen, apart from a change of clothes, only take things that you can carry. We will not help you carry them. Once your bag is full, you can't carry any more.
Xiaohang, you need to pack all the things you may need, including a change of clothes and toiletries. You must also pack as much as you can carry. Do you understand?"
The two children saluted Su Taotao tacitly: "Report to Mommy/Sister-in-law~~I understand~~"
Su Taotao clapped her hands: "Then start packing now, let's go!"
"That's great~~Mom/Sister-in-law~~"
The two children went to the bathroom to pack their toiletries first.
In this day and age, you need a ticket to buy a towel, and the guesthouse doesn't even have disposable items. You have to bring everything you need when you go out, except for the quilt and pillow.
Fortunately, it's summer, so not many clothes are needed. The clothes of the two children are almost all bought according to the brothers' outfits. The white shirt and the green military uniform are their favorites, and these two sets must be brought.
The two children tacitly agreed to only bring these two sets of clothes for changing.
Considering that clothes will be wrinkled when sleeping, Fu Yuanhang and Chenchen discussed: "Or, let's take another set of old clothes as pajamas."
Chenchen nodded: "That's nice~~ Uncle~~"
So the two children went to find the oldest set of clothes to take with them.
Chenchen was in a dilemma when packing the "treasures". He wanted to take this one and that one, and the small schoolbag couldn't fit them all.
"Uncle, can you bring me something?" Chenchen handed the conch to Fu Yuanhang.
Fu Yuanhang frowned and negotiated with him: "This is too heavy, it's not convenient to take it out, is it okay not to take it?"
Chenchen puffed up his cheeks and said: "Yes, yes, I want grandma to hear the sound of the sea, that's where grandpa works."
Chenchen knew that grandma had never seen the sea, nor the lighthouse guarded by grandpa, because since he could remember, grandma had never been far away, and Qinglian County could not see the sea.
Fu Yuanhang almost broke down when Chenchen said this.
In fact, Su Taotao once told Chenchen that her father was a martyr and was buried in the Martyrs Cemetery. However, Chenchen at that time was completely different from now. He was a little closed to himself and didn't care about the outside world, so he didn't listen.
In the end, Fu Yuanhang said nothing, took the conch from Chenchen's hand, and put it in his schoolbag.
Chenchen clapped his little paws happily, stood on tiptoe, took out a paintbrush from Fu Yuanhang's schoolbag, and put it in his own schoolbag: "Uncle, help Chenchen carry the conch~~Chenchen, help uncle carry this~~"
Fu Yuanhang: "..." You really know how to pick, you pick the lightest and least space-consuming one.
Fu Yuanhang took the paintbrush back: "No need, there's still room in uncle's schoolbag, you can take your own painting supplies."
After hearing this, Chenchen ran to get his own painting supplies and stuffed them into Fu Yuanhang's schoolbag.
Fu Yuanhang: “???”
Chen Chen blinked his big eyes, with an innocent look, looking at him as a matter of course: “There’s still room~~”
Fu Yuanhang: “…” Okay, it’s pronounced with an erhua sound, I’ll recite it for you.
After the two children packed up their things, Su Taotao was almost done packing her things. In fact, it was Fu Zhengtu who packed it up last night, and she just checked and supplemented some things.
In addition, she brought some special products back to Zhou Linglan, but it was not easy for her to stay for long with the children. Fortunately, she had sent a lot back before, and she didn’t lack anything, so she just brought it back as a token of her appreciation.
Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu also took some of their special products and asked Su Taotao to take them back for Zhou Linglan to try. There were a few things here and there, and it didn’t look like much, but it was actually not a small amount after packing up.
This was still in the summer, and Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu only brought enough clothes to change. It would be even more serious if it was winter.
Su Taotao did not help the children check their luggage, but repeatedly emphasized that they had to be responsible for the things they packed. If they found that something was missing when they arrived in the capital, they could not buy it again, but had to check it themselves.
So the two children took turns checking each other's luggage, and only went downstairs after confirming that everything was correct.
Baibai had to be sent to Aunt Zhong's house, and Mo Jiazhe would help take care of it for a few days.
In fact, sending it to Xia Zhiqiu's house could allow Dongdong to play for a few days, but Aunt Zhong's family had Dahei as a companion. Chenchen "asked" Baibai's opinion before deciding to send it to Aunt Zhong's house. Their family is also very "democratic" in treating dogs.
Everything was arranged, Fu Zhengtu and Mo Gong also came back from work early to prepare, and then they would take the base's shuttle bus to leave the island and catch the train.
