The gatekeeper passed the message on behalf of Jiang Rui. Fang Ning asked him to wait there for a while and she would be out soon.
Jiang Rui was delighted and quickly stood up and waited for Fang Ning under the sign of the meat processing factory.
After a while, Fang Ning came out.
She was wearing work clothes and a pair of light blue sleeves on her arms. Her hair was combed neatly. When she saw Jiang Rui standing under the sign of the meat processing factory waiting for her, she hurried over.
"You're looking for me?"
Jiang Rui turned around with a smile on his face: "Hello, Comrade Fang Ning, I am Jiang Rui. We met yesterday. Do you still remember me?"
Seeing Jiang Rui's face, Fang Ning was slightly stunned, and yesterday's situation emerged in his mind.
When she walked into the yard, she vaguely remembered... there seemed to be such a face.
"Who are you?" To be on the safe side, she asked for confirmation, "Who are you to Ye Li?"
...
...
"Ye Li is my sister-in-law, and I am his brother-in-law."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Fang Ning nodded, "What is it that brings you to me?"
Jiang Rui scratched his head in embarrassment, revealing a silly expression: "Actually, it's nothing... Well... our factory is on holiday, aren't you on holiday too? I thought our factory was the last to go on holiday."
Seeing that he had nothing to say but seemed to be trying to find something to talk about, Fang Ning was a little confused.
But because he is Ye Li's family, she still respects Jiang Rui very much.
"Yes, our meat processing plant has a heavy task. The superiors asked us to supply as much meat as possible this year. We also hope to supply enough pork so that every household can have meat on the New Year's Eve dinner table."
"Oh, that's good. My sister-in-law told me that your job is in logistics, so it's not too tiring, right? You don't want to do the butchering work in the workshop, right?"
"No, I just help with shopping and running errands. Sometimes the factory needs to do the accounting and I'll go over to help out if I'm too busy!"
"You're pretty awesome!"
Fang Ning pursed her lips and smiled.
Jiang Rui continued, "This job is pretty good for girls. The female workers in our factory don't have as much free time as you do. Most of them have to tighten screws in the workshop..."
He mentioned the words "our factory" several times in his words, which caught Fang Ning's attention.
"Which unit do you work for?" Fang Ning asked politely.
"Me? I'm in the machinery factory! My brother and I work in the same unit!"
Machinery factory?
These three words made Fang Ning take notice.
Yesterday her mother asked Ye Li to introduce her to some suitable people in the machinery factory, and Ye Li readily agreed. Could it be that this person was introduced by Ye Li?
This... this is really fast!
Could it be that Ye Li wants to introduce her brother-in-law to her?
"The machinery factory is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. Your job is still a good one." Fang Ning replied.
"It's OK. Our factory is indeed a large one with 10,000 employees. There are many people in the factory, but fortunately the welfare is pretty good. When there is a chance, I will take you to visit our factory?"
"Then let's talk about it when we have the chance."
"OK."
"Um... Jiang Rui, I'm still working. Is there something that Ye Li asked you to come to me for today?" Fang Ning wanted to understand Jiang Rui's purpose.
Jiang Rui didn't say it directly, but hesitated: "I don't have anything to do, I just came to see you. By the way, isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? My sister-in-law said that the family is busy, and I may have to go back to work after the Chinese New Year to see you again."
"Okay, then I understand what Li Li means."
"Don't worry, she will definitely contact you after the New Year. My sister Jiang Sui has been away for four years. This is her first time coming back. My family members attach great importance to this matter. Maybe they will accompany her during the New Year..."
Fang Ning curved his lips and said, "Tell Ye Li that I know about your family situation. Tell her not to worry and take her time to deal with the family affairs. It won't be too late for us to meet again when we have time."
"Okay, okay, you are really considerate."
"It's human nature to want to spend more time with your loved ones after they return. Jiang Rui, please give Ye Li a message for me. Thank you for your hard work. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work."
Seeing Fang Ning was about to leave, Jiang Rui hurriedly called her: "Um... do you have time at noon? Can we have lunch together? I see that noodle shop near your factory is still open, if you are willing..."
Fang Ning thought about it briefly and decided to decline his invitation: "I'm busy today, let's talk about it later. We can talk about it later if we have time!"
Jiang Rui's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly put away the emotion and turned it into a smile: "Okay, then you go to work."
"goodbye!"
"Wait a moment." Jiang Rui stopped her again, "Um... can I leave you a contact number? If there is something I need to notify you in the future, it may be more convenient to have an address. If you don't want to give me the address, can you leave me a phone number?"
Fang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll leave you my phone number."
“That’s great.”
Fang Ning didn't have any paper or pen, so Jiang Rui immediately took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to Fang Ning with both hands: "Sorry, I don't have any paper. If possible, you can write the phone number on my wrist, okay with that?"
"good."
Fang Ning used a pen to write a string of numbers on the back of Jiang Rui's hand: "This is the phone number of the security guard in our courtyard. When you call, just say you are looking for Fang Ning at 302."
"Okay." Jiang Rui showed a happy expression, "I've written it all down. I won't bother you anymore, go to work. I'll call you when I have time!"
"Um."
Jiang Rui took the phone number and left in a good mood.
When he reached the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, he stopped, looked around at the door, and then walked in.
There were a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative before the New Year. He walked around inside and pointed at two hairpins on the counter and said, "Comrade, pack those two hairpins for me. I want both."
…
Fang Ning got off work shortly after noon.
The slaughterhouse has been busy until today and it is almost time for the holiday. Today is the 29th and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Fang Ning went home only after receiving this month's salary and bonus.
Her family lives in a staff housing estate.
Many families of drivers and conductors lived in this family compound, which belonged to the family compound of the transportation company. She lived on the third floor. When she opened the door with the key and returned home, she saw her mother kneading dough and steaming buns in the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm back! Guess who I met today?" Fang Ning said to Aunt Xue as soon as he entered the door.
