Chapter 36: Tight Leather (2 / 2)



Now every household is short of food rations. Five or six steamed buns made of whole grains are fine, but my future aunt-in-law will only give me big white steamed buns. This is unacceptable.

"Of course it was Grandma Guo who installed it." Wen Jianguo answered frankly.

"You idiot, you are such a disgrace to yourself. Is there not enough food or drink for you at home?" Cui Yulan was so angry that she cursed without thinking.

Wen Jianguo explained aggrievedly, "Mom, it wasn't me who wanted to take it. Grandma Guo forced me to take it. If I didn't take it, she would have given it to me." He felt like he was being treated like a nobody.

Seeing Cui Yulan's disbelief, Wen Jianguo got a little angry and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to Grandma Guo's house to ask her after work tonight."

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the hoe and started digging the ground.

"We'll have steamed buns for lunch. You can go back and tell Xiaocao about it later." Cui Yulan felt uncomfortable all over. She knew she was wrong, but as a mother she couldn't just apologize.

Wen Wan, who was helping Li Yumei roll a ball of yarn in the supply and marketing cooperative, had no idea that Liu Xiaoling was so angry that she vomited blood after learning about her latest situation.

Otherwise, I would definitely explain it to Liu Xiaoling in person.

"Xiao Wan, you wrapped the ball of yarn so tightly." Li Yumei took the ball of yarn wrapped by Wen Wan.

Wen Wan asked in a low voice with curiosity in his tone, "Sister Yumei, I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative is very busy. How come the morning is almost over and there are not many people coming in to buy things?"

She looked for the whole morning, and except for the first few people who came to buy glutinous rice noodles and sugar, no one came in to look at other cloths or other things.

"Xiao Wan, think about it, no one has money. Who goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things every day? There will only be many people during the New Year and other festivals, or when everyone gets their salary." Li Yumei said casually.

After saying that, she took out two knitting needles from the wooden cabinet below and chatted while knitting.

Wen Wan smiled and glanced at each counter. The best-selling items were still food, and everyone was short of them.

In the blink of an eye, it's time for lunch.

"Xiao Wan, did you bring lunch?" Li Yumei stood up and stretched her arms and legs.

Wen Wan paused, "Sister Yumei, I came in such a hurry today that I forgot." She just took a quick look and found that everyone was starting to take out their lunch boxes.

"Xiao Wan, I can give you some of the fried noodles I brought." Li Yumei hesitated for a few seconds and spoke tentatively.

Wen Guan shook her head without hesitation, "Sister Yumei, I'll go out and buy some later." She was not a fool who didn't understand this.

"Okay then, there's an alley to the right of our supply and marketing cooperative. There are a lot of things for sale in it." Li Yumei breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to a place to Wen Wan with a slightly blushing face.

Wen Wan asked to confirm, "Sister Yumei, we have an hour break at noon, except for our shifts, so we don't have to work at the counter at other times, right?"

"Yes, one hour is arbitrary. We bring our own meals because we want to rest more," Li Yumei admitted.

Wen Wan nodded to show that he understood, raised his wrist to check the time, which was two minutes before twelve o'clock, and then stood up and walked to the office in the back.

As a mature worker, she still said hello to Wu Sen.

"Xiao Wan, how do you feel? Have you adapted?" Wu Sen expressed his concern politely after hearing Wen Wan's words. After all, she is his brother's future partner and they are considered family, so as the eldest brother he should care more about her.

Wen Wan smiled and nodded, and said calmly and naturally: "It's good. With Sister Yumei's guidance, I am almost familiar with the work content."
