At the same time, it's time for supply and marketing cooperatives to take stock of their inventory before the Lunar New Year.
It's already the 1990s. Xu Guiying heard from Brother Ding that the supply and marketing cooperative might have to be restructured this year, and the wholesale department below is expected to be restructured into a company. According to Brother Ding's revelation... there might be a slight chance that he might be transferred.
As for whether it's a promotion or a lateral transfer.
Xu Guiying couldn't say for sure, but looking at Brother Ding's beaming, sly smile, it couldn't possibly be bad.
In her previous life, Xu Guiying sold her job and moved away from Heping Lane. Later, she only knew about the restructuring of the supply and marketing cooperative, but not about the specific personnel changes.
The supply and marketing cooperative had a lot of inventory, and by the time all the accounts were cleared and the quantities were counted, it was already January 27th, seven days before the Chinese New Year.
Xu Guiying bought some pastries at the supply and marketing cooperative and also bought a few bolts of cloth. She then went to a tailor to have some new clothes made for her and Song Xinfu and his grandparents.
She didn't care about the second son and his wife; the young people liked to buy clothes in stores and shopping malls, so Xu Guiying gave them money for the New Year to manage as they pleased.
It was past six o'clock when we came out of the tailor shop.
The snow was still falling outside, and the dark clouds were thick and heavy.
The thought that the two owners of the Hunan restaurant had not yet been caught made Xu Guiying feel uneasy. She even dreamed of Phoenix Pavilion closing down and selling off its goods at night, which frightened her so much that she kicked her feet in the middle of the night and almost kicked Song Xinfu off the bed.
Just as I wished for it, it came true.
After Xu Guiying rode her bicycle away from the tailor shop, she was about to buy some more meat when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Tan Rongguo's figure flashing past on the street ahead.
Xu Guiying cursed inwardly.
She didn't even take the meat; she just pedaled her bike and sped off!
It only took a minute or two.
Tan Rongguo got into a van parked on the side of the road and disappeared in a flash! Just then, a motorcycle blocked the van's license plate, and because of the snow and poor visibility, he couldn't see anything!
Xu Guiying couldn't help but swear.
The butcher chased after them.
"Hey lady! Do you still want this meat?! You haven't paid!"
Xu Guiying took the meat, paid for it, and said, "I had something urgent to attend to earlier, thanks."
Seeing that Xu Guiying's expression didn't seem to be lying, the butcher, with a look of schadenfreude, asked curiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Guiying: "It's nothing, I just saw an old acquaintance."
The butcher shivered from the cold.
"Hey lady, it's almost Chinese New Year, be careful on the road, there are plenty of... you know what I mean."
Xu Guiying packed the meat, smiled, and said, "Okay, thanks for reminding me."
Xu Guiying quickly rode away.
The butcher stared at Xu Guiying's back and muttered that she seemed to be in good health.
When Xu Guiying returned to Heping Lane, Grandma Song had already prepared dinner.
"Guiying, why are you so late today?"
Xu Guiying took the things out of the car and said as she went inside:
"He took the cloth to the tailor shop. Oh, and I just saw Tan Rongguo when I came back! That bastard, he's fast. He got into the van and disappeared in a flash."
Song Xinfu's expression changed. "How many of them are there?"
Xu Guiying: Anyway, Rongguo got into the car by himself, but we don't know how many people were in the van.
Upon hearing this, Xu Guiying's expression changed slightly.
Song Xinfu's eyes widened. "They wouldn't be targeting you, would they?"
Grandpa Song glared at the big dog and said, "Say something nice."
Xu Guiying thought this made sense and advised everyone to be more careful when going out.
"Yu'an, if your time is right in the morning, you should go to school with Lao Wu (Chen Zhou)."
The Song family members are all very energetic and athletic, and Grandma Song is in excellent health. It's just that Qian Yu'an is young, thin, and frail. To put it bluntly, what if those two beasts, Tan Rongguo, kidnapped her...?
Qian Yu'an's face turned pale. "Okay."
Now that the twins are almost six months old, Qian Yu'an has lost a lot of weight, and her body and face are almost the same size as before she had the babies.
Tonight we're having pickled cabbage and pig's trotter soup, stir-fried garlic sprouts with meat, fried meatballs, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Song Yangmin will be back tomorrow. He will take a two-day break and won't be back until New Year's Eve. After that two-day break, the holiday will start on the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Half an hour later, Song Rongrong returned from get off work.
"I'm exhausted, I had to work overtime today."
Grandma Song clicked her tongue, "Rongrong, speak properly."
Older people are used to prophecies and can't stand hearing things like death or illness.
Song Rongrong chuckled and sat up, "I'm so tired."
Xu Guiying: Stop joking around, hurry up and go to the kitchen to get the dishes, it's time to eat.
In December, Song Rongrong would leave work half an hour or an hour late almost every day. Almost every company was busy at the end of the year, and the same was true for Lao San and Lao Wu's factories.
Song Rongrong suddenly thought of Song Guomin and looked up to glance at the expressions of her parents and grandparents.
Never mind, I'm not going to say anything more...
A few days ago, Song Rongrong went to the countryside and unexpectedly ran into Song Guomin with his two children in the town.
Song Guomin looked much better than before. He was still thin, but he was more energetic, and his two children had grown taller.
Song Rongrong harbored resentment towards Song Guomin in the past, and now more than three years have passed, during which time Song Guomin even underwent surgery...
She doesn't dislike Song Guomin as much as she used to.
But I can't say anything else.
That's fine as it is. It's good as it is now.
Xu Guiying glanced at Song Rongrong, who was burying her face in her food, and said, "Song Rongrong, your eyes are practically popping out of your bowl."
Song Rongrong coughed lightly and sat up straight. "By the way, when is Yingying coming back?"
Winter break should be starting soon.
"Probably in the next day or two."
The Song family had just finished eating when they heard the third and fifth sons arguing outside.
