Chapter 92 Li Fang
As for their master, the three of them still followed Zhao Yi's arrangements. Meat didn't have to be sent every month, and gifts such as cakes were also acceptable. There was no need to make it so high-profile in the factory.
As for sending meat to the leader, you don’t have to deliver it in the factory. Just send it directly to his home after work.
After cleaning, the three of them said some auspicious words to their master and received a red envelope. Then they happily went back to the dormitory. After tidying up in the dormitory for a while, Li Fang and Peng Yiju came out wearing brand new work clothes. The two of them, one on each side, held Zhang Jing's arm and walked towards the department store.
"Brother Yi hasn't finished get off work yet?"
Li Fang is no longer as shy when she sees Zhao Yi. In the past, Li Fang was rather shy when she saw anyone and seldom took the initiative to say hello. But now, after working in the factory for more than two months, she has become much more outgoing.
"Will you two take the bus back or walk?"
Zhao Yi asked as he looked at the two men's attire. Both of them were carrying bags in their hands.
There are no buses returning to Shanyang County at this point, and there is only one bus a day.
"We won't be back until tomorrow. We are going to Master's house to pay New Year's greetings. Master just gave us red envelopes."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Although the red envelope was not much, only 1.2 yuan, it made the three of them happy for a while.
The three of them came to Master Peng Yiju's house together. They originally thought that their master had lost her husband and it would be difficult for her to support four children at home with only her salary. But when they got here, Peng Yiju found that she was overthinking.
The conditions here are much better than at home.
The steel plant gives subsidies to the four children every month. They have city household registration and a fixed food ration, and their schooling at the steel plant’s primary school is free, so there is basically no pressure on the family.
Then we went to the homes of Zhang Jing and Li Fang's masters.
After visiting a circle, the three of them returned to Zhao Yi's home. After having dinner, Zhao Yi sent the two back to the garment factory dormitory.
There is no holiday at the department store, only half a day off on New Year's Eve. However, everyone can take turns to take the day off, after all, every family has a few relatives who need to be visited.
There is no one at the repair shop who takes shifts with Zhao Yi, but as long as he doesn't receive any complaints, Zhao Yi can arrange his rest time reasonably. Generally, no one sends home appliances for repair during the Spring Festival and before the Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar year.
People at that time were still somewhat superstitious and felt that they needed to repair their bodies at the beginning of the year and throughout the year.
early morning.
Li Fang and her sister-in-law got up early and went to the state-owned restaurant they had been longing for to have breakfast. They were so excited because they would not have been willing to spend money to treat themselves like this before.
The two men came to Zhao Yi's house carrying two big meat buns.
"What are you two doing up so early? There are no trains leaving the station right now."
Zhao Yi joked with a smile.
"You may not know this Brother Yi, but we are afraid that there will be too many people going back and we won't be able to buy tickets, so we will treat you to some meat buns while we catch the bus first."
After putting down the meat bun, he went back into the room and chatted with Zhang Jing for a few words, and then the two of them hurried back to the station.
Two people in work clothes walked into Wangou Village carrying large and small bags.
But a group of little kids at the entrance of the village were stunned. The blue work clothes had no patches on them and looked particularly good, which was very rare in rural areas nowadays.
However, some older children recognized the two.
He ran quickly to Li Dequan's house to report the news.
"This is Xiaofang from the captain's family, and Peng Yiju. I almost didn't recognize them after they changed their clothes."
"I heard that they went to work in the region. I thought it was a joke and that they must be working as nannies for their relatives. I didn't expect it to be true."
Everyone was discussing in low voices.
After all, Li Fang had just gotten engaged when the man had an accident at the reservoir. He was working at the reservoir, and during his break he went to the mountains to pick mountain products and fell to his death. In the countryside, people would basically blame the woman for this, thinking that Li Fang went out to avoid rumors.
After all, in everyone's impression, why should workers who go out to work need their families to send food to them from time to time?
I didn't expect that he really went to work as a worker.
Li Dequan would ask Li Chao to send some food over, but Zhao Yi had no idea who Li Fang and Peng Yiju would send it to. They didn't need their families to send food over now, as their household registration was no longer in Wangou Village.
Instead, their household registration is registered with the garment factory’s street office. The two are not formal employees yet, so naturally they have not been allocated a house. However, their food supply is under the jurisdiction of the garment factory, and they are already on food supply.
"ah!"
Wu Lan hurried towards the village entrance and exclaimed when she saw the two people.
He walked quickly forward, took Peng Yiju and turned around to look at her, then he looked at Li Fang.
"They look different in their work clothes. They look much more energetic, especially your sister-in-law. I almost didn't recognize her. I thought she was a girl from the city who came to the countryside."
On the surface, Wu Lan seems to care more about Peng Yiju, but in her heart she is on the side of her own daughter. However, she cannot neglect her daughter-in-law, so she can only care about her daughter-in-law first. Her daughter can lie in the same bed with her at night and talk to her heart's content, so she doesn't need to show too much concern.
After all, I will live with my daughter-in-law for the rest of my life, and when I get old and can't move, it will be my daughter-in-law who will take care of me.
Otherwise, if Li Dequan had only prepared a spot for Li Fang, Wu Lan would have felt that it was inappropriate. Although it would be good for her daughter, she couldn't let her daughter-in-law down. If there was only one spot, Wu Lan was going to let her daughter-in-law go.
My nieces and daughters can just find ways to subsidize them themselves.
Once Peng Yiju becomes a worker, her grandchildren will also be able to become city dwellers, and she won't have to worry too much about their studies and schooling. If she can get two places, of course she will let her aunt and sister-in-law go together.
The three of them returned home chatting and laughing.
The villagers can no longer sit still.
Especially those unmarried young men, seeing Li Fang coming back in her work clothes, wanted their families to go to Li Dequan's house to propose marriage.
Li De's family.
Li Fang and Peng Yiju were sitting in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and chattering non-stop.
"I asked Zhao Yi to help take care of you. Did he give you any advice?"
Li Dequan looked at his daughter and asked.
"Brother Yi would prepare some meat for us to send to the workshop director and the director of the general department every month. He would invite us to his home when he made something delicious and told us to try to get along well with our colleagues in the factory."
Li Fang said immediately that she was still very grateful to Zhao Yi.
"If it weren't for Brother Zhao Yi's help, we as temporary workers wouldn't be able to get work clothes. My master has worked in the factory for five or six years, and she is still a temporary worker. The logistics department has no quota for these things for her."
Peng Yiju also took over the conversation.
After hearing this, Li Dequan felt relieved and his gratitude towards Zhao Yi increased even more.
"Xiaoyi is a sentimental kid. He would have done this even without our instructions. You will know a person's character after a few interactions."
Wu Lan looked at everyone and said.
