Chapter 214: Then I'll take the trouble to make the trip
When Kong Wenhui came back, she no longer had the things she brought with her. She couldn't hide her excitement on her face, and her hands were shaking. When Shen Meng looked up at her, he saw that the muscles at the corners of her mouth were twitching.
"Xiao Meng, our factory director said that he can find you alone... and buy it from your friend. When will that friend have the goods?"
"Sister Kong, what are you talking about, your factory director? No, no, I'm not familiar with that person. He knew Qianqian was in confinement through other people, so he wanted to send some gifts to build relationships. No one in the Li family knows him at all, and I just heard about it."
Kong Wenhui was just concerned with solving her own internal affairs and forgot to ask Shen Meng in detail what the situation was. Now she has already told the factory director. If she can't solve this matter properly, how can she stay in the factory in the future.
"Xiao Meng, you must help me. If you can get us some fine grains and other supplies, I'll apply for a bonus for you. Our non-staple food factory didn't make much profit last year. If it's okay this year, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay the wages." Things
are different now. In the past, everyone was confined to their own little piece of land. Now, goods are circulated very quickly. Things produced in one's own county are not rare at all, and even the dirt and clods outside are considered rare goods.
Shen Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I will go and ask, but this matter must not be known to anyone, especially the people of the Li family. And I will not participate in this matter. I don't care about bonuses. Sister, just pretend that I have never been here today, okay?"
"Okay, okay, you are right. If Secretary Li's family are all upright people, not only they can't know, but my family and my eldest brother's family can't know either, otherwise they will definitely blame me. Xiao Meng, I'm waiting for your letter. The price can be negotiated."
"Okay, Sister Kong, you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave. I'll go and run around. If there is a letter, I'll come to you directly. But the price may be a little more expensive. You should have an idea of this."
Kong Wenhui nodded. This is obvious. If the food is really good, the price will definitely be high.
When Shen Meng was about to go out, Kong Wenhui called her again.
"Xiaomeng, you just said that the pastry was made by your sister-in-law. Can you use the recipe... Our factory director just thinks that this pastry is good and thinks that if it can be mass-produced, wouldn't it be possible for more people to eat it?"
"Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law later!"
Kong Wenhui sent Shen Meng all the way to the gate. No one was there anymore, and she waved vigorously at her back. When the guard saw this, he immediately took off the cigarette from his ear and quietly hid it in his pocket.
Soon it was time to get off work, and Shen Meng hurriedly arrived at the intersection. Uncle Guai was guarding the bullock cart and squatted down to rest. After seeing Shen Meng, he quickly took out a kettle from the box under his seat.
"Xiao Meng, your aunt made you some brown sugar ginger water to ward off cold. I put it in this box wrapped in thick clothes. It's warm!"
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Guai. Hehehe, your aunt is so nice. But we two mothers really have a tacit understanding. The Lantern Festival is coming soon. A friend in the city brought me some food, and we can't finish it at home, so I divided a bag in advance. Uncle, put it in the box, and you can eat it with my aunt and Xiangxiang later."
Uncle Guai took it hurriedly, looking left and right.
"That's not possible. If you can't finish it, ask Xiaobin to take it back to your parents' home. We don't need it."
"Of course, of course, take it and eat it. Look at how much is in my bag. I have to give Jing some more later. These things can't be kept for too long, otherwise they will go bad."
Uncle Guai wanted to refuse, but Shen Meng coughed twice. Uncle Guai turned around and saw Wu Xianglan running over with a smile. She waved at the two of them.
He quickly put a bag of things in the box.
"Sister-in-law, Uncle Guai, you've been waiting for a long time. It's very cold. Let's go now!"
"Why are you going? Daya Niang hasn't arrived yet. Wait a minute!"
Wu Xianglan smiled embarrassedly, hesitated for a while, and took out two apples from the bag she was carrying.
"Sister-in-law, I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bag of apples. Take them back and cut them for Mingyang and the others to eat!"
Shen Meng smiled and took them directly and put them in her bag. When Wu Xianglan opened the bag just now, she clearly saw brown sugar and peach cakes inside, but she only took out two green and yellow apples.
"Xianglan, how is your work? Are your co-workers treating you well?"
Wu Xianglan was in high spirits when she said this. Maybe it was because Hu Biao greeted her, or maybe it was because the handful of candies Shen Meng left for her worked. She was particularly happy at the textile factory today. Working was indeed different from working in the fields to earn money. She didn't feel tired at all.
"How could it be worse? I used to think that people in this city had high standards, but now I know that they are all good people!"
"That's good. Get along well with everyone and work hard. After a year or so, I can ask the leader to promote you to a regular employee. Regular employees are different from temporary employees. Not to mention the benefits during the holidays, the salary alone is nearly half more than that of temporary employees. You have to work hard. All of this depends on connections and favors."
"Hey, hey, I get it, sister-in-law. Look at my memory. I bought a pound of milk candy at the supply and marketing cooperative. You can grab a handful and take it back to Mingyang and the others!"
Shen Mengru grabbed a handful, but did not put them in her pocket. Instead, she gave a few to Uncle Guai and passed the rest in the other direction. Wu Xianglan turned around and saw Yu Shirley, who had come over at some point, standing behind her.
"There is no shortage of candy in my house, but you take Uncle Guai's car every day, and the eldest girl also works in the county town. If I am not there at any time, or if you have to go out for something, you have to help each other. Otherwise, if something happens to you in the county town, there will be no one to help you."
Wu Xianglan's heart skipped a beat. Her sister-in-law is so thoughtful, isn't this the reason?
After all, Yu Shirley works in the county hospital, and she knows all capable people. Not to mention what happened to her, just the fact that she has connections in the county hospital has made her co-workers envious. People eat all kinds of food, so it's inevitable that they will get sick. If she has a minor illness or accident, she can ask Yu Shirley to take care of her. If she can curry favor with her leader, then maybe she can get a permanent job without her sister-in-law having to ask someone to say something!
"Yes, what the sister-in-law is saying is, sister Shirley, just take it. We are all from the same village. If anything happens, we can help each other. I am a very talkative person. If you have something to do, just take care of me. I will definitely help you as much as I can. Uncle Guai, wait until Xiangxiang gets married. , I will add something good to my makeup, our relationship must be better than others!"
After Wu Xianglan finished speaking, she was very satisfied with her performance. She felt that she was becoming more and more like her sister-in-law. She said this smoothly and with style.
