"Secretary Chen, please help me check Zheng Pingping's recent whereabouts."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
When I arrived at the office, I found Zhen Zhen had already arrived and was making tea.
"Good morning, Orange!"
"Good morning, Zhen Zhen, why are you here so early!"
"The dormitory is nearby. I'll be here after breakfast!"
Sitting down at the desk, he took off his clothes, scarf, and gloves, and took a sip of tea. "Thank you for the tea!"
Zhen Zhen discovered that Ling Ju really loved jasmine tea and drank a pot almost every day. "Ju Ju, I noticed that you really like jasmine tea, but this tea is quite cold, so you should drink less."
"Actually, I only drink it a week before my period every month. Jasmine can regulate qi and relieve pain, promote menstruation, and alleviate the discomfort of menstruation!"
Zhen Zhen's eyes widened, "Really?! I thought it would be cold."
"No, as long as you don't drink too much, it's fine. My period used to be very irregular, so I took some Chinese medicine to regulate it. The doctor who treated me told me this method. If you often feel uncomfortable during your period, you can try it!"
Zhen Zhen nodded solemnly. "I do feel uncomfortable sometimes. It doesn't hurt every time, but when it hurts it's unbearable. I'll have a drink quickly, too."
"Try drinking it for a few days and see if it works when your period comes."
The two chatted for a while and then got down to work.
7,000 sets of goods are about to be delivered. Since the contract terms this time are for one-time delivery, four people sent by the Railway Transport Security Department may not be enough. We have to talk to Hu Wei and add more manpower.
I also checked the status of some small orders, and the shipment was relatively smooth.
Looking at Zhen Zhen across from me, I wondered if we could go to Guangzhou together? We could make some deliveries and then check out Gu Desheng's factory to see if we could find two new clients.
"Zhen Zhen, do you want to go to Yangcheng?"
Zhen Zhen raised his head and asked, "Do we have a chance to get out?"
Ling Ju nodded. "We're delivering 7,000 sets this time, and I'm a little worried. With four people in the security department, I think the two of us can go along and help keep an eye on things along the way. We'll then visit Gu Desheng to solidify our relationship. Finally, we'll see if we can find new clients."
Zhen Zhen's face was filled with excitement. "That's great! I've never been far away before! I heard the winters in the south are quite warm, and there's a lot of delicious food there!"
"Okay, I'll talk to Brother Hu tomorrow. The goods will be shipped out in a week, so we have to hurry up and prepare. With this batch of goods, we can have a good New Year."
Zhen Zhen nodded repeatedly.
When they returned to the family compound in the evening, Ling Ju told Zhen Zhen about her plan to go to the south with her.
"I plan to have Secretary Chen come along, and the remaining four people in the security department are all trusted by Big Brother."
Song Qi was still a little worried. He was a little worried about his young wife going so far away. "Wife, I'm still a little worried. It takes two or three days to get there by train. The journey is very tiring."
"Don't worry, there are so many people here, and Zhen Zhen is here to keep me company."
"Really? I can't resist you!" He scratched her nose and kissed her little face before they started eating.
Today's dinner is millet porridge, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and stewed potatoes with a few pieces of meat in it.
Song Qi picked out all the meat for Ling Ju, who pouted, "You eat it! Don't always give it to me!" Then he picked it back and gave it to him.
"You are too thin now. You have to eat some meat."
"Eating meat doesn't make you fat. On the contrary, eating too much rice, steamed buns, and other staple foods will make you fat! Only eating very fatty meat will make you fat! And I'm not thin at all. I'm 120 pounds now. I think this is fine. It's a relatively normal weight."
Song Qi looked at her. He didn't know why he always felt that she had grown taller recently. "Have you felt that you have grown taller recently?"
Ling Ju smiled foolishly, "I'm almost 20, why am I still growing?" But then she thought, she could still grow taller at 23, so it's not impossible. And she used to reach Song Qi's shoulders, but now she seems to be a little above?
"I'll measure it for you after dinner."
"Alright."
After dinner, Song Qi took out a tape measure and asked, "Wife, how tall were you before?"
"I haven't measured it carefully, but it's either 165cm or 167cm. Now."
Song Qi looked at the 170 cm shown on the ruler and was a little surprised that his wife had grown a lot. "Wife, you are 1.7 meters tall now."
Ling Ju was really surprised this time. No wonder she had eaten so much recently but hadn't gained weight. It turned out that she had grown taller.
"I'm really growing taller! Song Qi, no wonder you said I haven't gained weight despite eating so much lately. So it's because of this!"
Song Qi smiled faintly, "The fact that you can grow taller shows that our family has good nutrition. Others can't grow this tall even if they want to."
"Song Qi, let me measure your height too!"
After saying that, he asked Song Qi to stand up straight, and held a ruler from his feet to the top of his head, and stretched out his hand to take the ruler. "1.845 meters, Song Qi, what did you eat to grow so tall!"
Song Qi put away the ruler, "If I say that I ate coarse grains every day when I was a child and only had eggs occasionally, would you believe it?" Although my mother's family has been in business for generations, there was a real shortage of supplies at that time. In addition, the family did not dare to be too ostentatious, and the food was not very good. They did not dare to spend money even if they had it.
Thinking about it, Song Qi was born in 1954, when the People's Republic of China was just founded, and the living conditions were indeed very difficult. "Husband, that only means that your parents' genes are relatively strong." Suddenly, I thought about 1954. This age in the 21st century is exactly the same as my grandfather's birth year.
"You and your brother are also very tall, which means your parents' genes are also very strong."
Searching her mind for memories of her parents, two faces, both familiar and unfamiliar, emerged. Indeed, her genes were good. Then again, her parents really didn't look like farmers; their looks were truly remarkable. So what was the reason they retired from the military and returned home to farm?
