Director Wang called Hu Xiaoman to his office alone. This was her first business trip, so he had to remind her of some things that needed to be said.
"You're going to the south alone this time. It's hard for you. There are too many tasks this time and no one is free." Director Wang said with some helplessness in his tone.
In fact, it was Hu Xiaoman's own idea to go to the south, and no one forced her.
But what needs to be said is that this is a task that no one is willing to take on. If someone is willing to go, it will save him a lot of trouble.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Director Wang, it's okay. I've never been to the South before, so I should get out more while I'm still young!"
She really thought so and wanted to see what the South was like now.
She has already informed the school that she will study at home and go back home when it is time for the exam.
Now everyone in night school basically knows that this is the situation. Everyone is working and sometimes has no time to study.
Director Wang was actually quite happy when he heard this. After all, no matter what kind of work it is, it is still work and cannot be treated differently.
Although he understood that everyone was reluctant to travel far, someone had to do the work, right?
But Hu Xiaoman was willing to go, even though he was still a child. These people were not as sensible as children!
"Okay, I'm counting on you." His expression revealed satisfaction, and then he nodded and let her go back.
Hu Xiaoman felt relaxed. To her, this was just like traveling.
The leaders have already arranged all the work matters, so there is no need to busy yourself with other things.
I go to a place to handle work, and then I head back home when I'm done. It's basically a trip.
On the 28th, Hu Xiaoman prepared New Year's goods and prepared to have a happy New Year.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Shen came to see her early in the morning.
"Xiao Hu, where are you going to celebrate the New Year?" She smiled and sat beside him, drinking hot water.
Hu Xiaoman poured her some water and sat next to her.
She replied: "It's meaningless to celebrate it alone, celebrating it every year."
This is the truth. I used to celebrate the New Year alone, which was boring.
It’s the same now, I’m still alone.
In her eyes, whether it is the New Year or not is just one day, it doesn’t matter.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulan felt that this child was too pitiful. The New Year was meaningless in her eyes.
Which girl of this age doesn’t like the Chinese New Year?
Who wouldn’t like delicious food and new clothes?
But Hu Xiaoman said it was boring. It seemed that there was nothing good to look forward to during the Chinese New Year in the past, so he said that.
Look, there is no expression of loss or sadness.
Hu Xiaoman saw that her expression was not right and felt a little confused.
What's going on?
Shen Yulan sighed and said, "If you don't mind, you can spend the New Year at my house, right?"
In fact, she likes this child very much. He is independent and has a good personality.
It's just so pitiful. It's hard for her to have such a family.
Hu Xiaoman refused directly without even thinking about it.
"No, Aunt Shen, you and Brother Lu always take good care of me. I can't disturb you again." She said, shaking her head in disagreement.
It's okay to visit someone's home during normal times if they are not relatives or friends, but it is really rude to visit them during the Chinese New Year.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulan did not force it. After all, sometimes she thought it was for the good of others, but she also had to respect other people's opinions.
The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Yulan went home.
She gave another piece of advice before leaving.
"Xiao Hu, my family is also celebrating the New Year. If you feel bored, you can come to my house."
Hu Xiaoman smiled and refused, "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. Just enjoy the New Year. I'm fine. I have everything I need at home."
Shen Yulan said no more, nodded and went back.
She returned home and remained depressed.
After Lu Jianghe finished cleaning the roof, he saw that her expression was not right, so he asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
How come I feel bad after going out?
Shen Yulan glanced at him and said, "I just went next door and wanted Xiao Hu to celebrate the New Year with us, but the child disagreed."
disagree?
When Lu Jianghe thought about spending the New Year with Hu Xiaoman, he felt a little excited.
But they refused.
This is understandable. After all, who would go to their neighbor's house to celebrate the New Year? They're only neighbors for a few days.
"Mom, it's not convenient for her, don't think too much about it." He advised, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
In fact, during this period of time together, he could see that Hu Xiaoman was a very opinionated person.
But she is not an ordinary girl who only knows how to eat, drink and dress up every day.
She is also very motivated, sunny and lovely.
Lu Jianghe felt warm in his heart when he thought of that pretty girl.
I can eat two more bowls of rice at night!
Hu Xiaoman was eating fruit and watching TV series in the space.
The fruit is out of season and not very tasty, but it is better than not eating it.
She is a little bit carried away now. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in her hands, how can she not be carried away?
But the Chinese New Year is almost over, and I will have to go on a business trip again.
Hu Xiaoman was looking forward to it and hoped it would be a pleasant journey!
She ate the fruit happily, imagining herself going shopping in the south.
By the way, you need coupons for shopping!
She doesn't have a national ticket, so she has to prepare it in advance.
Apart from the national tickets allocated by the unit, she didn't have any extra ones.
Besides, those are for food and accommodation, it is impossible for people to prepare more.
Hu Xiaoman quickly put on his clothes and went to the black market.
When Liu Jie heard about the national votes, he actually had them.
"But the price is indeed high. Have you thought about it?" He said without hiding anything: "One and a half kilograms of ordinary tickets can be exchanged for one kilogram of national food tickets, and the prices of other tickets have also increased."
If Hu Xiaoman went to the unit to exchange it, it would be one pound and two ounces of coupons, which could be exchanged for one pound of national food coupons.
But she can't change more than that, the units are all rationed.
And she didn't have any extra tickets.
After some bargaining, Hu Xiaoman spent money to buy a roll of national tickets, which contained all kinds of tickets.
You can use this ticket to exchange for more local tickets, but you still have to rely on luck.
When Hu Xiaoman returned home and before entering the house, he saw a person standing at the door.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Hu Qinghai!
Seeing Hu Xiaoman coming back, Hu Qinghai smiled.
"Xiaoman is back. I knocked on the door just now and no one opened it, so I knew you weren't home." He was shivering from the cold.
In fact, he came over as soon as Hu Xiaoman left and had been waiting for an hour.
It was freezing cold, and he thought the person would be back soon, so he didn't go home.
Who knew that after waiting for so long, my legs were numb from the cold.
Hu Xiaoman also noticed it, so he opened the door and let him in.
The room wasn't very warm because the stove wasn't burning very well, at most it was just a little warmer than outside.
Hu Qinghai noticed the stove and felt a little sad.
He knew the child must be having a hard time, but he didn't expect him to be so sad...
