Hu Xiaoman didn’t know what happened afterwards, she only knew a little bit.
That means the Hu family will definitely let her turn everything upside down.
In the next few days, Zhang Chunxia did not come to the house and there was no news at all.
She also enjoys the peace and quiet and does whatever she wants.
However, on the agreed day, Hu Xiaoman went to see Director Zhang.
It is really inconvenient that there is not even a phone call at this time.
If you need anything, you have to go find them. It all depends on luck whether they are at home or not.
Fortunately, the two people had agreed to meet today, so Hu Xiaoman met Director Zhang directly.
"Director Zhang, long time no see. How have you been lately?" She greeted him with a smile and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Director Zhang nodded and replied, "Not bad. The work has been finalized. I'll report to the food factory after New Year's Day."
Food factory?
"Okay, thank you, Director Zhang." Hu Xiaoman didn't expect that the person he was talking about was in the food business again.
But she thinks it's pretty good, at least the benefits are good.
Director Zhang told her who to report to and explain everything else clearly.
Leaving here, Hu Xiaoman sighed.
You must work. You can't stop contacting the outside world just because you have enough food and drink.
This time when she went to the food factory, her job was purchasing. Although it was tiring, she had free time.
This job pays a bit more than the previous one, which is pretty good.
When he returned home, Hu Xiaoman saw Shen Yulan sitting outside, so he went over to say hello.
"Aunt Shen, have you eaten yet?"
It's only 4pm now, but it's almost dark. Most people eat at this time, so it's a waste of electricity to light a lamp while eating too late.
Shen Yulan smiled and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Xiao Hu, don't cook tonight. Come to my house for dinner."
"Today, my relatives in the countryside sent some pork and made some pig-killing dishes. It was quite a lot."
Hu Xiaoman quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, Aunt Shen. I can make something to eat myself."
She couldn't always go to other people's homes for dinner. At that time, the fixed amount of food was fixed, and it was not easy to eat her fill.
And if she ate it, they might have to eat less at one meal.
Shen Yulan walked over, took her hand and said, "You don't give me face, do you? Just look at how much you can eat. You don't have to be polite when eating here."
Looking at her smiling face, Hu Xiaoman could only let herself be dragged away.
It’s great that someone even dragged me out to eat.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a fragrance, the smell of sauerkraut stewed with pork.
Maybe it was stewed for quite a long time, so the flavor is very rich.
The two of them sat on the stools, and Aunt Shen went to make a bowl of malted milk and brought it over.
"Drink something hot to warm yourself up first. Girls need to keep warm. Drink more hot drinks in winter."
Hu Xiaoman looked at her puzzledly, not understanding what this meant and why she was so enthusiastic.
Of course, Aunt Shen was also very enthusiastic towards her before, but she felt something strange today.
"Auntie Shen, you drink it. I'll just drink hot water." She pushed the teacup away and didn't drink it.
Not only does a can of malted milk cost several dollars, it also requires a ticket.
Most families use hot water or sugar water to entertain guests, and no one uses malted milk.
Most people are reluctant to take this thing out, and keep it for their family members to nourish their bodies.
"Xiao Hu, don't be polite with me. I like you very much. It's like home here. Don't be shy. Eat and drink!" Shen Yulan pushed the cup over to her, asking her to drink.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying and they had been together for such a long time, Hu Xiaoman nodded.
"Aunt Shen, I'm so lucky to be your neighbor. From now on, I'll treat you as my own aunt!"
Not to mention that they were so nice to her, even the Hu family never showed any concern for her.
Sometimes outsiders are closer to her than her family, which she really can't understand.
The two sat together and chatted, mostly Shen Yulan asked questions and Hu Xiaoman answered.
The questions were all about work and life, nothing too sensitive.
She would not hide anything that could be said.
At this time, the door outside was opened, and when Lu Jianghe entered the room, he saw two people chatting.
It seems like they are having a happy chat.
"Jiang He is back. Go wash your hands and have dinner." Shen Yulan got ready and went to serve the food.
Of course, Hu Xiaoman couldn't just sit and wait for food, but he could still lend a hand and help.
The three of them sat together with pig-killing dishes on the table.
The pig-killing dish is pork stewed with sauerkraut, some blood sausage and pig offal.
Hu Xiaoman swallowed his saliva. The pork was really delicious, much more delicious than the pork in later generations.
"Xiao Hu, come and eat. Don't be polite." Shen Yulan served her a full bowl of rice.
Hu Xiaoman took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt Shen. I'm definitely not shy about it."
You know what, she really wasn't polite at all.
The soup was scooped up with a spoon and soaked with rice. It tasted particularly delicious. Although the pork was a bit fatty, it was neutralized by the sauerkraut and was not greasy at all.
Seeing how delicious she was eating, Lu Jianghe, who usually doesn't eat fatty meat, also took a bite.
The pork belly is indeed not that greasy, and it tastes great when soaked in soup with rice.
But he knew that this was bad for the body and difficult to digest.
Just this once...
Hu Xiaoman wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Auntie Shen, your cooking skills are amazing. I usually can't eat so much, but the food is so delicious today that I couldn't help but eat so much."
She wasn't just complimenting him, she was speaking from the heart.
The pork belly is fat but not greasy, and the sauerkraut is full of the aroma of gravy.
For this dish, it would be disrespectful to the sauerkraut if you don’t eat it with rice.
Shen Yulan certainly liked to hear others say that her cooking was delicious, so she smiled and said, "Then Xiao Hu will often come to Auntie's house for dinner in the future."
Do you eat here often?
Hu Xiaoman smiled awkwardly and thought, forget it, both meals were wasted.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and Lu Jianghe watched from the side.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Hu Xiaoman also noticed it and wondered if he was too talkative.
"Brother Lu. How was your work today? Are there many patients?" She took the initiative to talk to Lu Jianghe.
After all, this is someone else's family. I'm just an outsider who comes here to eat and drink for free. I can't ignore them, right?
Lu Jianghe glanced at her and said, "There aren't many patients. It's almost the New Year and no one likes to go there."
People nowadays are still very superstitious and think that going to the hospital during the New Year is bringing bad luck.
People usually wait until after the Chinese New Year before going to see a doctor.
Even when I’m sick, I have to put off seeing a doctor. I don’t know whether life is more important or superstition is more important.
Hu Xiaoman didn't understand these things either. In the past, when he was sick, he was always kept away from work.
Otherwise, it is common to work during the Chinese New Year while receiving an IV drip.
In my previous life, I was busy making money and ended up getting sick. What was the point?
Now she cares more about her health, and money can be earned slowly.
