Chapter 93 Treat (asking for monthly ticket)
After the payment was made, everyone went back home.
Before leaving, the man in charge of collecting grain stopped Chen Yi.
"Comrade, my name is Li Jiang. If there are good things in the future and it is inconvenient for you, please ask Wang Zhongjie to bring them to you."
The man smiled and continued, "Xiao Jie is a good kid and can be trusted. I'll give you a good price when the time comes and save you the trip."
Li Jiang understood Chen Yi. This black market was not like other places, where people would steal things.
After all, this place is not protected. Even if you are robbed, you can only grit your teeth and accept it. The police won't care about you.
So it is understandable that Chen Yi is unwilling to come.
There’s nothing wrong in asking someone you trust to make the trip, so that everyone can feel at ease.
Hearing this, Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
If I come here often, I might run into the Chen family again. It’s better to let someone else run errands.
"Okay, I'll ask him to deliver it next time." She turned to look at Liang Xiaoju and said, "Xiaoju, from now on you and your friends will deliver it together and let me watch over you, okay?"
Her original intention was to help the child. If she skipped Liang Xiaoju and used Wang Zhongjie directly, there would be no hope for the child.
Liang Xiaoju was a little disappointed at first, but when she heard this, her eyes sparkled again.
"Okay, sister, I will definitely keep an eye on it for you!" She nodded heavily, feeling that she was also very useful.
She trusted Wang Zhongjie, but she couldn't trust this man named Li Jiang.
So, I have to keep a close eye on it for my sister.
Chen Yi smiled and took Liang Xiaoju back.
Li Jiang watched them leave, then turned to Wang Zhongjie and said, "Xiao Jie, build a good relationship with him in the future. I think this guy has a lot of connections, and he will be able to sell a lot of things in the future."
He finally realized that, apart from his boss, no one else could be so generous.
The people selling grain in this black market are all small-timers, selling at most a few dozen kilograms of grain. How could anyone sell so much? It's terrifying.
If the boss hadn't wanted to collect the grain and put the money here, he probably wouldn't have been able to come up with so much money.
It was just the beginning of the month and they hadn’t prepared the money yet.
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjie nodded. Even if it was not for himself, he had to think about Liang Xiaoju.
Xiaoju will be able to make money in the future, and life will be better.
Chen Yi took Liang Xiaoju home, and when they passed by a deserted place, she gave her five dollars.
She said, "Xiao Ju, it's not that I don't want to give you more this time, but you took too much and had no place to hide it. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."
She felt that giving things was worse than giving money. For Liang Xiaoju, the most important thing now was to have enough food to eat.
Liang Xiaoju was not stupid. Five dollars was a lot of money. She had never had such a huge sum of money before. She was shocked!
"Sister, I understand what you're thinking. I'll definitely tell you if I need anything in the future."
The two of them walked to the door of their home and went back to their respective homes.
Of course, Chen Yi went back to work, and Liang Xiaoju rushed home with the money.
When I got home from get off work in the evening, He Mingcheng was already waiting for me at home.
When he saw her coming back, he said, "Let's go? Let's go to the state-owned restaurant."
Treating us to dinner at a restaurant?
Chen Yi was a little surprised, "How many people are there? Let's go to the restaurant to eat."
At this time, it is much more appropriate to use tickets to buy meat and vegetables than to eat in a restaurant.
He Mingcheng shook his head. "I don't know, but it should be seven or eight people, right?"
If there are seven or eight people, six dishes must be served, which will cost more than ten yuan.
It's really generous of you to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Chen Yi changed her coat and went cycling with He Mingcheng.
The two men arrived at the restaurant and saw a young man in his twenties standing at the door.
"Chengzi is coming! This way!" He waved his hand.
He Mingcheng walked over and said with a smile: "Zhang Wei, this is my girlfriend, Chen Yi."
Chen Yi nodded politely and said hello, "Hello."
Zhang Wei was stunned when he saw her. He didn't expect that He Mingcheng's girlfriend was so beautiful. No wonder this guy always wanted to run home.
"Hello, hello." He nodded, turned around and called the female comrade in the room to come over.
"This is my wife Wang Jie, and this is He Mingcheng's wife Chen Yi."
Wang Jie was also in her twenties. She was average looking, with a long face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that looked even smaller.
"Oh, hello." Wang Jie nodded, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Are you all here?"
Zhang Wei quickly replied: "There is still one person who hasn't come yet, let's go inside first."
Chen Yi looked at the two people and it was obvious that Wang Jie seemed to have a higher status in the family, while Zhang Wei seemed a little humble.
"It's such a hassle. What time is it?" Wang Jie rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and went into the house.
Zhang Wei said to He Mingcheng embarrassedly: "You guys go in and wait first."
He Mingcheng nodded. Although he disliked Wang Jie, it was other people's business and he couldn't say anything.
After all, I came here today to see Zhang Wei.
The two of them got along quite well when this guy was on a business trip, so he agreed to come.
Two people entered the house and there were two couples inside.
Wang Jie sat in the main seat with his legs crossed, like a big leader.
The others didn't say anything either, seeming a little awkward.
He Mingcheng introduced the two couples to Chen Yi. They were Gao Xiaoling and Lin Liang, and the other couple was Guan Wenjin and Tan Aihua.
They nodded and greeted Chen Yi, and they all knew each other.
While sitting on the chair waiting, Zhang Wei came in with a young man in his twenties.
"Oh, sorry for being late! I've kept you waiting for so long!" The young man greeted everyone with a smile, then looked at He Mingcheng.
"Hey Chengzi, is this your wife? She's so pretty! No wonder she rushes home as soon as she gets off work!"
He Mingcheng frowned and said, "Qian Zhengyang, could you please stop talking nonsense?"
It was obvious that he was unhappy. Of course he knew that his wife was beautiful, but there was no need for him to say that, right?
Qian Zhengyang smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, it's my fault."
"Are you done yet, Zhang Wei? Hurry up and ask the kitchen to serve the food." Wang Jie said this at an inappropriate time. Not only was everyone embarrassed, but Zhang Wei was even more embarrassed.
Zhang Wei looked very unhappy, then he forced a smile and went out.
Originally, he had already discussed it with Wang Jie, that everyone just wanted to be happy to go out for dinner and give him some face.
But now, let alone face, I have lost all my foundation.
This embarrassed his colleagues and they laughed at him!
He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely suffocated.
Chen Yi looked at the four dishes and one soup and suddenly she was no longer hungry.
What are all these?
We went to such a big restaurant and ordered four dishes...
One is stir-fried cabbage and black fungus with vinegar, one is fried dried tofu, one is braised tofu, and one is scrambled eggs with cucumber.
The soup was shredded radish soup, without a single bit of meat.
Awesome!
Why would you go to a restaurant for such cuisine? It’s much richer if you just cook it at home.
But she didn't say anything, just complained in her heart.
