Chapter 127 Gossip
early morning.
Zhao Yi came to the repair shop to work as usual. He didn't know why more home appliances were sent for repair from neighboring areas during this period, about six or seven per day.
Zhao Yi started to get busy as soon as he opened the door.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A group of salesmen came to the repair shop and sat at the door of the shop to prepare for lunch.
The department store also has a cafeteria, but most people bring food from home, so the cafeteria is in name only.
Zhao Yi looked up at the clock on the wall and prepared to go home to cook.
"Did Master Zhao and Hong Mei invite you to dinner?"
A salesperson looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"I haven't heard of it. What's the matter?"
Zhao Yi asked in confusion, not even realizing who they were talking about. He had never had any contact with this person.
"Zhang Jing should have received an invitation. After all, they came to give you a gift for your baby's full moon."
"Hong Mei works at the garment factory and should be your wife's co-worker, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Zhao Peng's one-month celebration."
Everyone was talking at once, but Zhao Yi still couldn't remember who it was.
"Liu Wentao, the guy who made the braised pork for our department store during the Chinese New Year, is getting married to Hong Mei. I don't know why he's showing off by marrying a second-married woman, and he's not even ashamed to even hold a wedding banquet."
"Who cares what others like?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yi finally remembered who it was.
Zhao Yi had no impression of Peng Yiju's master Hong Mei. After all, they had no contact with her. The only contact they had was with Zhang Jing.
Zhao Yi didn't respond. He closed the door of the repair shop, went home and started preparing lunch.
As soon as lunch was ready, Zhang Jing came back carrying Zhao Peng on her back.
"Is someone in the workshop inviting me to a wedding banquet?"
Zhao Yi asked.
"Master Hong is getting married. I probably won't be able to drink the wedding wine, but the gifts are real."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
When they first came, they were not seated at the table, and it would probably be the same if they went there now. No family is that wealthy, and they can't save much from the fixed food rations to hold a banquet, especially since Hong Mei has parents-in-law above her and three children below her.
I couldn't save any food at all, and I didn't think I could get married again.
The reason they went to the banquet this time was definitely to give gifts to Hong Mei's in-laws. Since they were not familiar with Liu Wentao, it was naturally impossible for them to go to the man's side to give gifts.
"when?"
Zhao Yi asked.
"The day after tomorrow morning, I just notified you today that they have already received their marriage certificate."
Zhang Jing said.
"Why so fast?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused.
Generally, the wedding date is set several months in advance so that relatives and friends have time to prepare. If there are relatives in the countryside who will not have time to prepare in two or three days, they will have to rush over.
"How would I know? Master Hong gave our family one dollar, so we just need to give one dollar. As for other matters, they have nothing to do with us and we can't control them."
Zhang Jing said after handing Zhao Peng to Zhao Yi.
After saying that, he sat down at the dining table and started eating lunch.
Zhao Yi went to make milk for the little one, and Zhang Jing would bring the bottle over at noon when she went to work.
"Let's go to my cousin's house tonight. My cousin's wife and her family have been here for a few days, so we should go for a walk."
After finishing her meal, Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
“It should be.”
Zhao Yi nodded.
After a short rest at noon, Zhang Jing carried Zhao Peng to the garment factory, while Zhao Yi returned to the repair shop.
evening.
After Zhang Jing got home from get off work, she took out some things from the box as gifts, tied Zhao Peng to Zhao Yi's back, and walked towards Park Hutong.
Li Baoguo.
Saw Zhao Yi and his wife.
Li Baoguo immediately had a smile on his face.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaojing, and Dabao are here too. We just finished preparing dinner."
"Tiedan, call someone."
Wang Fang pushed her son and said.
"Uncle, aunt."
The little guy looked at Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing with his round eyes and shouted.
"Tiedan is so good, auntie will give you some candy."
Zhang Jing took out two candies from the gift bag and handed them to Tiedan.
This little guy was often sick when he was young, and the old man was worried that he couldn't keep him alive, so he gave him a stronger name, such as Shitou and Goudan. These cheap names were not strong enough, so he named him Tiedan.
Seeing the little sugar boy's eyes light up, he then looked at his father, and when his father nodded, he reached out to take it.
"How's sister-in-law? Are you used to it?"
After Zhang Jing put the gift on the table, she looked at Wang Fang and asked.
Naturally, the first question was whether Wang Fang was used to making matchboxes.
The match factory is not far from the garment factory, so workers passing by can naturally see the posters of the outsourced garment factory. Some workers will also take some of the work home for their children to do, especially during holidays. Teenage girls will take such work home, and the few cents they earn a day can be considered their pocket money.
Zhang Jing didn't think about it that way. After all, if nothing was solved, it would be inconvenient for relatives to eat and stay in the city. It would be a bit inconvenient for them to live in her own home.
"I'm not very skilled yet, and it takes me two days to make a thousand."
Wang Fang said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Not bad. I can make forty-five cents a day."
Zhang Jing comforted.
Food was only seven cents a pound, so earning forty-five cents a day was already pretty good.
"Where is Tiedan studying now?"
Zhao Yi smiled and touched Tiedan's head as he spoke.
Zhao Yi knew that the food factory did not have a kindergarten, but it did have a nursery, which seemed to be a collaboration with the general department of the department store.
"It's just across the park not far ahead. It's close here and Xiaofang knows the way. If it's too far, I'm afraid they'll get lost."
Li Baoguo joked.
But it is true that Wang Fang has only been in the area for a short time and has not been to many places. If she goes too far, she will not know the way and it will be troublesome to come back.
"It's more convenient near the garment factory. The kindergarten and primary school are next to each other. I can send my child to work and pick him up on the way home after get off work."
Li Baoguo said.
In fact, Zhao Peng can not only go to the garment factory, but also go to the same kindergarten with Tiedan. However, this guy definitely can't go now, so for convenience it is better for him to follow his mother.
After dinner, they chatted for a while and then Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing said goodbye, carrying the little one on their backs.
Li Baoguo accompanied the three people all the way out of the alley before returning.
"Boss, Xiaoyi is really nice to us. Look at how much stuff he sent us. We still owe him hundreds of dollars."
Wang Fang was still very moved when she said these words.
"Just remember the favor in your heart, and do your best to help us if we need your help in the future."
Li Baoguo looked at Wang Fang and said.
I have always remembered all the kindness Zhao Yi has shown me, and there is no need for Zhao Yi to tell me if I can be of any use to me.
The little guy, who had just returned home, started howling on Zhao Yi's back.
"You bastard, you don't cry when you go out, but you cry when you come home. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."
Zhao Yi untied the straps and put the little guy down.
He checked the diaper and patted the little guy's butt gently.
"You little bastard, you cry when you peed. Why are you so delicate?"
Zhao Yi quickly changed him into a clean diaper and scolded with a smile.
