Chapter 142 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner
Chen Qing widened his eyes in shock.
Tian Mengya was amused by her: "Aren't you going to pick them up that day? Dress up nicely, you will definitely outshine the others."
"I should wear my work clothes properly when I'm at work. As the head of the factory committee, I have to take the lead."
"Then what will you do? Will you always be laughed at?" Tian Mengya pursed her lips.
She likes Chen Qing very much now. She is bright and lively and has strong working ability. Even if Chen Qing looks ordinary, she would like him very much.
Chen Qing leaned back in his chair with a smile: "It's okay, let the workers in the machinery factory talk about it. Who told me to be so famous?"
Chen Qing put two fingers to his forehead and said helplessly: "It's too red, there's nothing I can do."
Tian Mengya had never seen such a shameless person: "By the way, what is your relationship with Researcher He?"
“I don’t know.”
Are being ambiguous.
Just for the time being, right?
Chen Qing patted Tian Mengya's hair and said, "Little comrade, don't worry about me. Strengthen your faith from some time ago and work hard on your career."
"I was too serious and got scolded by my parents."
Some time ago, Tian Mengya had the idea of starting her own business and even wanted to transfer to other departments, but was severely scolded by her parents.
"It's great to be a factory committee member. There's less work, more pay, and better benefits. It will be convenient for me to take care of my children in the future."
"The most important thing for a girl is to find a suitable man. You are not young anymore. After you get married, you will know how comfortable it is to have an easy job."
…
Her parents always said that, and over time, she couldn't muster the mentality to pursue a career.
Because she will get married sooner or later.
To serve the whole family.
It would indeed be much easier if I stayed in the factory committee.
Tian Mengya pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled at Chen Qing, "I'll go get busy first."
Chen Qing withdrew his hand calmly.
With his elbows resting on the table, Chen Qing held his face with his right hand, squeezing the soft flesh on his cheek with his palm, and frowned slightly.
What's a snack for tonight?
Today is Friday!
In order to welcome the wonderful weekend, Chen Qing wanted to eat something delicious.
Does the state-owned restaurant have braised pork?
Maomao has been here for two days, so the child needs to be fed something good. For Maomao, Chen Qing decided to go to the state-owned restaurant after get off work.
As for Tian Mengya's marriage? Chen Qing had advised her, but Tian Mengya didn't make any changes, so she wouldn't advise her again.
Everyone has their own life choices and she has no right to interfere.
And the girls in the art troupe competed with her in beauty...
Chen Qing didn't take it to heart.
Others are just jealous.
What does it have to do with her current life?
If you dare to say bad things about her in front of her, just slap her twice.
Chen Qing looked at her Mid-Autumn Festival benefits and went to find Director Liu: "Do you have a big bag?"
Director Liu glanced at her hand and went to another office to get her a cloth bag: "I borrowed it. Remember to return it tomorrow."
"knew."
Chen Qing packed his things, got off work, and headed straight to the state-owned restaurant.
There were fewer dishes in the state-owned restaurant in the afternoon, and there was no braised pork, but there was a surprise in the form of oyster omelette!
Chen Qing curiously asked the waiter: "Sister, why is there oyster omelette?"
The waitress was still the bossy lady. She replied impatiently, "We have oysters. Send a bunch of them over. What else can we do but omelette them? Grill them for you. Do you want to order? Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Thirty cents a portion, right? I want five."
Chen Qing gave her the money and ticket.
After the waiter wrote down the order and handed it to her, he glanced at the bag she was carrying and asked, "Did the machinery factory give out benefits?"
"yes."
"Do you have mooncakes in an iron box?"
"Yeah."
"How about I switch with you?"
"Change what?"
Chen Qing blinked innocently.
It was definitely her luck to be favored by the waiter in the state-owned restaurant. Even though she was reluctant to give up the mooncakes, she still asked in a good-tempered manner.
The waitress waved to her.
Chen Qing came to her side in a servile manner.
When I was waiting in line to buy something, the waitress urged me frantically: "Hurry up! I have something to do!"
The diners quickly placed their orders.
When the line was empty, the waitress said, "I'll trade you a can of malted milk and three pounds of Fuqiang flour, okay?"
"OK."
Chen Qing agreed immediately.
Iron sheet mooncakes are not sold on a large scale in the market. Supply and marketing cooperatives supply them in limited quantities and they are extremely difficult to get. The price of one piece is about 1 to 5 yuan.
Chen Qing is a cadre of the factory committee. Her mooncake box is a little bigger, and it contains ten mooncakes, which cost about three yuan. So in exchange for a can of malted milk at two yuan and fifty cents, and three pounds of flour at thirty cents, she makes a small profit.
"Then wait a minute, I'll get it for you when I get home."
"Okay."
Chen Qing waited obediently.
The waitress came back soon, and Chen Qing just took away her five servings of oyster omelettes, and then went home with malted milk and flour.
Finally, he had a little relationship with the waitress. Chen Qing felt that the mooncakes had fulfilled their value as gifts!
When Chen Qing returned to the entrance of the alley, all the uncles and aunts wanted to see her mooncakes.
Don't underestimate Chen Qing because of his lowly position.
But he is also an official!
You can get mooncakes in an iron box.
Maomao: "Auntie~~~"
He rushed over and took the bag for her while shouting: "Aunt, you must be tired. Let's go home quickly."
Xiaoyu ran up on her short legs and held her aunt's hand, her cheeks puffed with anger: "Aunt, I poured you some water!"
Maomao: "I prepared a flower."
Xiaoyu corrected his wording: "It's wild flowers!"
“That’s a flower, too.”
Maomao adapted very well to this home. There was no transition period at all. He moved in smoothly and acted like a real host.
Chen Qing was walking back surrounded by two children, and the old men and women all felt very sorry.
"The benefits at the machinery factory are really good. I heard that Chen Qing is a cadre and received an extra pound of meat coupons."
"She's having a really good time."
"Of course I did. Didn't I see you go to the state-owned restaurant to buy food again?"
…
The old men and women were so envious that their eyes were red.
The old man stood up, patted his thighs with his fan, and walked towards Chen Qing's house.
He knocked on the door.
Chen Qing saw that it was him and hurried forward to ask, "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the compound will have a meal together. See if you want to join. If you do, give us the food coupons for three people, and we will all pay to buy food and vegetables."
Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year.
At noon on these three festivals, everyone in the slum would have a small gathering for a meal.
This is also the only way for a manager to make money. Otherwise, he has to take care of this and that every day, and the street office doesn't give him money. He works like a fool, which is a big loss!
Chen Qing nodded quickly: "Yes."
According to the previous rules, she gave four kilograms of food coupons and two yuan.
The old man was surprised: "Maomao is here to join in the fun too?"
Chen Qing looked at Maomao.
Maomao nodded frantically!
He likes to be lively and he wants to join in the fun.
Chen Qing asked, "Is it okay?"
The uncle nodded: "What's wrong with that? It's just a way for me to make some extra money."
Maomao smiled so hard that all sixteen teeth were visible.
