Recently, her mother, Song Qinglian, has been busy cooking and grocery shopping, and with Yun Daqing's help, they're almost overwhelmed.
Because the factory has grown to include more and more people, including tailors, odd jobs, and managers like Yun Duoduo, there are now about thirty people.
If there are two people, it's just right for them to buy groceries, cook, and clean.
However, because Yun Duoduo is pregnant, Song Qinglian and the other woman need to take care of her more, so the factory needs to hire two more people.
Li Dongxiu is quite good at housework, and she is determined to support herself. Since Yun Duoduo always has to hire someone, it's better to let her give it a try.
She told Li Dongxiu, "Auntie, our basic monthly salary is 60 yuan, which includes room and board, and there are some extra bonuses. It's not much, but it's enough to support ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Li Dongxiu immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll go to Duoduo's place. There are many people there, and they need help with the work."
Li Dongyun also felt that it was suitable for Li Dongxiu to go to Duoduo's place, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you can go to whoever you want, as long as you can support yourself and don't think about Wang Weiguo."
This time, Li Dongxiu was determined. "Don't worry, I had the courage to come out, so I have no intention of going back."
But then she sighed, "I wonder how Shuangshuang is doing."
“She’s an adult, she has a job, and the hospital has dormitories. She won’t starve.” Li Dongyun thought for a moment and then added, “If she doesn’t want to stay in the dormitory, she can stay at my house.”
Li Dongxiu nodded. She had no other choice. She had done everything she could. She wasn't the one who made the mistake, and if anyone was to apologize to Wang Shuangshuang, it wasn't her.
Li Dongxiu then settled down and worked peacefully at Yun Duoduo's place.
It just so happens that there are still a few days until the New Year, so she will treat it as an adjustment period and work with Song Qinglian to familiarize herself with all the procedures.
After that, it was almost Chinese New Year, and no one bothered to inquire about Li Sijie and Wang Weiguo's situation.
However, since Wang Shuangshuang had gone back to the Wang family and came to see Li Dongxiu, she did mention it briefly.
It was confirmed by Wang Weiguo's workplace that he had engaged in illicit sexual relationships, and the workplace disciplined him accordingly.
I don't know what went wrong, but the company couldn't fire him, so they demoted him instead.
He used to be a workshop director, but now he's been transferred to do cleaning, and his salary has been reduced.
After all, when I was the director, I received a considerable monthly bonus and various benefits, but that's all gone now.
I estimate I can earn a few dozen yuan a month.
These few dozen yuan wouldn't be a big problem supporting a family of three, but the problem is that Li Sijie is pregnant and keeps causing trouble every day.
Today we'll eat meat, tomorrow we'll eat fish, and the day after tomorrow we'll eat chicken.
There was also an old lady who needed to take medicine every day, which cost a lot of money, so life was naturally difficult for her.
Anyway, the old lady and Li Sijie argued every day, and several times, the old lady was so angry that she fainted.
The old lady is now filled with regret; she should have treated Li Dongxiu better in the past.
As for Li Sijie, she probably didn't really intend to live with Wang Weiguo. Anyway, she spends money lavishly, and at the slightest disagreement, she says she's going to have an abortion.
Yun Duoduo and the others just listened to these gossips casually and didn't care about them, since they wouldn't have anything to do with them in the future anyway.
Before we knew it, it was Lunar New Year's Eve.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, all workplaces began to close for the holidays, and even Yan Junting had a few days off.
Because everyone had agreed to spend the Lunar New Year together, the Li family all came over early on Lunar New Year's Eve.
Ye Wenyue and the others got out of the car, and Li Yunfeng and Li Yunjun carried two large sacks into the yard.
Ye Wenyue followed her in and shouted, "Duoduo's mother, what should we do with this pork and offal? We need to get rid of them quickly."
Song Qinglian, Yun Duoduo, and Yan Junting were discussing in the kitchen what to cook for dinner, trying to cater to the tastes of several families.
Hearing the shouts, Yun Duoduo and the others immediately came out.
Upon seeing those things, Song Qinglian immediately went over and used a basin to empty the contents of the sack.
It's estimated to be about 50 pounds of pork, plus a lot of pork offal.
Pig kidneys, pig intestines, pig liver, and four pig feet.
The Li family didn't eat these things before because they didn't know how to cook them.
But ever since Song Qinglian made them stir-fried pork intestines and braised pig's trotters last time, they have fallen in love with them.
Song Qinglian looked at the several large basins of things and didn't know what to do.
The idea was that everyone would celebrate the New Year together and contribute money together.
But the Li family spent a lot of money, and they would often send over a lot of food, all of which were valuable items.
Putting everything else aside, this pork alone is enough to feed them for the entire first month of the lunar calendar.
Song Qinglian said helplessly, "Duoduo's mom, didn't I tell you yesterday that all these things are prepared? We have enough for the New Year, so there's no need to buy any more. Don't spend any money."
Ye Wenyue smiled and waved her hand, "It wasn't bought, it was delivered by Zheng Yang's subordinates."
“After his subordinate was discharged from the army, he was assigned to work at the meat processing plant in our area. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the meat processing plant would distribute these things non-stop, and he would send them to our family every year.”
"I don't know how to make them either, but I thought that the cured pork and sausages you make all require meat, so I got them all."
After a slight pause, Ye Wenyue continued, "Besides, isn't your eldest son planning to get married and have a banquet after the New Year? We'll use it to entertain guests, and everyone will definitely enjoy it."
After hearing Ye Wenyue's suggestion, Song Qinglian thought it was a good idea. Since the things had already been brought over, there was no point in being polite.
She had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll prepare it after the family reunion dinner tonight while they stay up late to welcome the New Year. When you visit relatives during the New Year, just bring these cured meats as gifts, and you won't need to buy any other New Year's presents."
Ye Wenyue agreed, thinking that it would be impressive to give these cured meats as gifts.
She smiled and said she would help Ye Wenyue with it that night.
After saying that, Ye Wenyue saw that the Yan family hadn't come over yet, so she asked Yan Junting, "By the way, Junting, what about your parents? Will they be able to come back for the New Year?"
Yan Junting said, "I'll go ask. If it really doesn't work, how about we bring him back for the New Year first, and then go to the hospital tomorrow? Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Ye Wenyue said to Yun Duoduo, "Go find your third brother and have him sign something. There shouldn't be any problem."
Speaking of Li Yungang, Yun Duoduo asked with some concern, "How's Third Brother doing lately? Does he go to work every day?"
Since the incident with Li Sijie a few days ago, Yun Duoduo hasn't seen Li Yungang.
She worried that Li Yungang would become despondent.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wenyue nodded and said, "He goes every day without fail, and he's even more diligent than before. We wanted to persuade him, but before we could even open our mouths, he talked more than we did."
