Seven o'clock in the morning.
Yan Ning was woken up by the alarm clock.
She stayed in bed for a while before getting up to wash.
I had a bowl of rice noodles in the kitchen for breakfast.
After packing up, he left the space, opened the door and walked out.
Everyone in the family went to work.
She went to the kitchen and put the breakfast that Old Lady Yan had left for her into the space.
Then I rode my bike out.
When passing by the gate of Yan Sumei's yard, Yan Ning stopped and called out, "Sister Sumei, are you home?"
"Sister Ning, I'm here!"
Then Yan Sumei's voice was heard from the yard.
After a few seconds, Yan Sumei opened the gate and walked out, "Sister Ning, what's wrong?"
Yan Ning told her what happened on the phone yesterday, "I have to go to the mine now. Sister Su Mei, do you want to go to the county town with me?"
Yan Sumei thought about it and agreed, "Okay, I came back in a hurry yesterday.
I still have a lot of things to buy, Sister Ning, please wait for me, I'll go get a bag."
Yan Sumei turned around and ran back to get her things.
Yan Ning stood at the door and waited for a few minutes.
Yan Sumei left the yard and locked the door.
The two of them took their bicycles to Qinghe County.
It was only around 9:30 when we arrived at the mine gate.
Yan Ning pushed his bicycle to the guard room and said, "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for Director Qin from your logistics department.
My last name is Yan, and I have an appointment with her. Could you please call her for me?"
When the security guard heard that the person was looking for the head of the logistics department, he didn't delay and called the logistics department.
"Hello! Minister Qin? There's a girl at the gate looking for you.
Yes, yes, it’s Yan. Okay, I get it.”
The old man hung up the phone and asked Yan Ning and the other man to wait at the door.
After four or five minutes, Shan Zhijun's mother Qin Shuang walked out of the gate.
Looking at Yan Sumei who was standing at the gate, "Sumei, you are here too!"
Yan Sumei smiled and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Qin!"
Qin Shuang looked at Yan Ning again with a smile on his face, "This must be Comrade Yan Ning, he's really good-looking."
Yan Ning smiled politely, "Aunt Qin, you can just call me Yan Ning."
Qin Shuang nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to the office. Our accountant is here too."
Yan Ning parked his bicycle in the mine's special parking area.
Qin Shuang took the two of them to the mine office building.
When I entered the office, I saw a woman sitting on the sofa to the left of the door.
Qin Shuang introduced the woman to several people. She was the accountant of the mine and was there to issue receipts.
After the introduction, the few people returned to the topic.
"Yan Ning, the order receipt for our mine's soap gift box has been written. Please take a look and sign it if you think it's okay."
After Qin Shuang finished speaking, he handed a receipt to Yan Ning.
Yan Ning looked through it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed his name with a pen.
After seeing her sign, Qin Shuang handed her an envelope.
"There's a total of 1,375 yuan in this envelope. It's the deposit for this batch of soap gift boxes. I'll pay the rest after the goods arrive."
Yan Ning took the envelope, took out the money and counted it.
One thousand three hundred and seventy-five dollars, that's right.
She put the money into her bag and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qin. I'll let you know as soon as the goods arrive."
After a few people exchanged a few pleasantries.
Yan Ning and Yan Sumei said goodbye to the few people and walked out of the mine gate.
Yan Ning rode his bicycle and took Yan Sumei to the department store.
Yan Sumei planned to buy some fabric and make her own clothes.
The two went directly to the fabric area on the second floor.
The four-meter-long counter is filled with fabrics, but there aren't many colors.
There are only a few colors of fabrics, including black, dark gray, light gray, dark blue, light blue, army green, grass green, white, goose yellow, pink, and red.
Compared with the colorful and various floral fabrics in the department stores in big cities like Beijing.
The fabrics in Qinghe County's department stores appear much more monotonous.
Yan Sumei was carefully selecting the color of fabric at the counter.
Yan Ning looked around and found nothing good to choose from. None of the colors looked good.
Yan Ning: "Sister Sumei, these colors don't suit you. I'll ask my eldest brother to bring you a piece of floral fabric from the Spring Market someday!"
Yan Sumei hesitated for a moment and put down the pink cloth in her hand. "Will this be too much trouble for you?"
She really doesn't like these colors, they are either too bright or too plain.
Yan Ning: "It's not a big deal, it's easy. Let's go over to the clothing store and take a look.
See if there are any nice designs, so you can try them out when you make your own clothes later."
The department stores in Qinghe County only started selling ready-made clothes a month ago.
Although these ready-made clothes do not require cloth coupons, they are very expensive.
A bragi sells for around twenty.
A cotton coat costs about thirty yuan.
It is one or two times cheaper than ready-made clothes in big cities, and the styles are not as fashionable, but it is enough in this small city.
The consumer group of this garment area is all women, and most of the clothes sold are braids and women's clothes.
There were only five or six men's items hanging alone in the corner.
When Yan Ning and Yan Sumei walked into the garment area, Yan Sumei paused.
Yan Ning followed her gaze.
A young man and a somewhat attractive girl were looking at clothes in the garment section.
Yan Ning: "What's wrong, Sister Sumei?"
Yan Sumei frowned, "Did you see the man and woman in front? The man is Liu Zhiqing from our team,
He has been in contact with Qingqing for some time, and Qingqing told me that they are dating.
I didn’t expect that this Liu Zhiqing was actually playing both sides.”
"Sister Sumei, who is Qingqing?"
Yan Sumei explained: "Qingqing is the daughter of Aunt Wang next door to my house. Her name is Yan Qingqing. She is seventeen years old this year. According to seniority, she should call me "little aunt."
Yan Ning understood, "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to tell Qingqing?"
"Of course we have to tell her. We can't let her be deceived by this Liu Zhiqing again." Yan Sumei's pretty face was full of indignation.
As they were talking, the two people at the counter suddenly turned around.
When Liu Zhiqing saw Yan Sumei standing not far away, his eyes became panicked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
The two left the garment area and went downstairs.
Yan Sumei snorted coldly, "A thief has a guilty conscience."
She didn't even look at the clothes, and pulled Yan Ning downstairs and out of the department store.
Yan Ning rode his bicycle and took Yan Sumei for a stroll on the street.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, and the two decided to have lunch before returning to the big willow tree.
When they arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Yan Ning deposited his bicycle in the parking lot.
The two entered the restaurant. It had just opened and there were not many people in the lobby.
I looked at the menu on the blackboard.
Yan Ning ordered sweet and sour pork ribs, and Yan Sumei ordered potato, cabbage and vermicelli stew.
Add two more bowls of rice.
Yan Ning rushed to pay for the ticket.
The two found a seat by the window and sat down to wait.
