Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Very Hot
Song Guanshu remained calm and joined Jiang Ling in condemning Xu Youlan.
After dinner, he took out the dividends he received during the day, a thick stack of money.
Jiang Ling estimated with her naked eyes that there were at least a hundred of them.
Seeing the colorful banknotes, Jiang Ling's expression suddenly became very colorful, like a little miser, "Ask me to keep it for you."
"no."
"Then what are you doing for me?" Her face suddenly fell and she threw the money to Song Guanshu.
"The New Year is coming soon, go buy some new clothes."
With a smile on his lips, he quietly watched her counting the money.
"Comrade Song Guanshu, you are truly the most generous man in the world!"
Jiang Ling is never stingy with her praise for those around her, and always gives them plenty of emotional value.
Song Guanshu tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips, "Buy a few more."
"Okay, I just feel like I don't have enough new clothes." Jiang Ling said, "My second sister said she's going to the south to buy some clothes in a few days, so I asked her to bring me two nice clothes."
Seeing that Song Guanshu had given her a lot of money, Jiang Ling said, "Ask her to bring you two pieces as well. You are a small business owner after all, you can't always wear the same two sets of clothes."
In fact, what Jiang Ling wanted to say was that with such a good figure, it would be a pity not to wear nice clothes.
Song Guanshu originally wanted to say that he had enough clothes to wear, but he was afraid that this would dampen Jiang Ling's enthusiasm and he would not buy him clothes in the future.
He smiled very contentedly, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome." It's all your money anyway.
As the year draws to a close, there is a lot of work to do in the factory.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were both very busy.
Workers haven't received their wages for several months in a row. We can't not pay them during the Chinese New Year. How can we celebrate the Chinese New Year?
The Finance Department has to pay wages to workers and do year-end inventory.
Jiang Ling is very busy at work, and when she gets home she still has to write articles for the North City Evening News. Fortunately, she only has to write one article every week and the number of words is not large, otherwise she would really be exhausted.
Song Guanshu is busier than Jiang Ling. After a year of hard work, ordinary people would choose to reward themselves at the end of the year by buying some things that they would not have been willing to spend before, such as new clothes, new shoes, and even Hengjiu factory's moisturizing cream.
The sales volume of facial cream reached a small climax, and the factory urgently recruited workers. All the workers who were previously fired by Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory now work at Hengjiu.
Although Hengjiu is not a public unit, it pays high wages and charges on a piece-rate basis. The more you work, the more you earn, and the less you work, the less you earn. The workers are highly motivated to produce, and all the problems that existed when I worked at the Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory have been completely cured.
Based on Jiang Ling’s suggestion, the factory also launched New Year gift boxes for the Chinese New Year, which are suitable for personal use or as gifts for visiting relatives and friends.
The packaging design of the box is high-end, which makes you feel very proud when giving it as a gift to others. Although the price is not cheap, it sells very well.
Initially, there were only four supply and marketing cooperatives in Beicheng selling the products of Hengjiu Daily Chemical Factory. Now there are more than ten of them. Most of them saw the good sales of Hengjiu facial cream and took the initiative to negotiate to be the agent.
Now that sales are good, the product is not limited to the North City.
Li Gui and Song Guanshu went on several business trips to the counties and cities near Beicheng to promote sales. When the other party heard that the people in Beicheng were all using this facial cream, they agreed without thinking.
Beicheng is the provincial capital, and the surrounding counties and cities tend to imitate and learn from the provincial capital.
After showing the other party his own sales volume, Song Guanshu also brought a copy of the Beicheng Evening News to show the other party his own advertisement.
The market in the counties and cities surrounding Beicheng is vast, the facial cream produced by Hengjiu Factory sells better, and Song Guanshu is also busier.
Song Guanshu was busy with factory affairs, and Chen Xiangyang was not idle either. He was running around and was also very busy.
"I just don't understand. Chen Xiangyang is not idle either. How can he have the time to meddle in other people's business?"
No one knew how Chen Xiangyang persuaded her, but Sun Min's biological mother, the female comrade named Cui'er, actually went to work as a worker in Hengjiu Factory.
Sister Juxiang said that although Cui'er was not lazy in the past, she was not a hard-working woman in the traditional sense.
I don’t know what Chen Xiangyang said to influence her, but she not only went out to make money, but also had a good relationship with Sun Min, who bought her a hairpin book from time to time.
Although she didn’t love her children as much as other mothers did, Sun Min’s life became much better after Cui’er came back.
When Cui'er first came back, many neighbors were muttering behind her back, saying that Old Man Sun's house was going to become lively, and it would probably be like Section Chief Liu's house in the front yard, with fights all day long.
Who would have thought that there would be no fight.
What made Jiang Ling feel even more incredible was that Chen Xiangyang persuaded Han Ruixue to go out to work.
Han Ruixue is too delicate to be a worker on the production line, but she has advantages that some people don't have. She is good-looking and loves beauty, and she knows the advantages and disadvantages of every brand of skin care products on the market by heart.
Han Ruixue didn't go out to look for a job before because there were no suitable jobs. She was a delicate person and couldn't endure hardship. She couldn't do a job that was too hard, too tiring, or too dirty, nor a job that was not decent. After she got picky, after marrying Liu Jianshe, she had someone to support her, so she didn't have such a strong desire to go out to work.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to work, it’s just that it’s very boring to stay at home every day, especially now that she has to face her mother-in-law’s old face.
Han Ruixue was immediately attracted by the idea of making money and using skin care products every day.
Old Mrs. Liu kept complaining behind her son's back that Han Ruixue didn't go out to work and was eating and using her son's money. When Han Ruixue went out to make money, she became suspicious and worried that Han Ruixue was cheating on her son.
Among the neighbors nearby, the two people who were least likely to go out to work were dragged out to work by Chen Xiangyang.
Jiang Ling was so shocked that she couldn't help but sigh to Song Guanshu: "It's a waste of talent for Chen Xiangyang to work with you. He likes to meddle in other people's affairs and has appeal. He should go to work in the Women's Federation."
"Let him be."
The two were chatting when they heard a noise coming from behind. Jiang Ling lay on the glass of the back door of her house and looked out.
In order to protect privacy, a piece of cloth is hung on the glass so that people outside cannot see inside. If people inside want to see outside, they have to lift the cloth and look out through the gap.
I thought there was a fight between two people?
Not at all, it’s just that Old Mrs. Fang is about to give birth.
Although Old Man Sun was stingy, he took his son very seriously and planned to take Old Lady Fang to the hospital to give birth. However, who would have thought that plans could not keep up with changes.
Perhaps it is because older mothers are more likely to give birth prematurely. Before Mrs. Fang's due date, the baby was already eager to see the world.
None of the four members of Old Man Sun's family are capable of doing anything. Old Mrs. Fang is about to give birth, so Old Man Sun hurried to find Cui'er.
Although Cui'er had given birth to a child, that was many years ago. At that time, there were people taking care of the family, so she only had to focus on giving birth and didn't have to worry about anything else.
How could she know what to do?
In a panic, she went to the west wing to call Chen Xiangyang.
Chen Xiangyang was even more confused because he was a bachelor without a wife.
Jiang Ling was leaning on the window to watch the fun, but she didn't expect Chen Xiangyang to knock on the door.
The man was extremely panicked after entering the room, "Ling, Brother Song, what should we do!"
What to do? "What did you do again?" Song Guanshu asked bluntly.
"It's not me, it's Aunt Fang. She's about to give birth. What should I do?"
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you panicking when she gives birth? It's not like she's giving birth to a child for you."
"I dare not say that. If it gets out, it will be hard to explain."
Song Guanshu: "It can't be spread out. There are three people in the room. Jiang Ling and I won't tell anyone, unless you tell everyone."
"How could I possibly tell this to anyone else!"
Chen Xiangyang was so anxious that the couple was still joking here.
"What does her having a baby have to do with you?"
"No..." Chen Xiangyang tried to explain to them, "We are neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other."
Jiang Ling was so stupid that she wanted to slap her head, "I beg you to use your brain. You can't just meddle in other people's affairs. You are an unmarried young man. Why are you meddling in other people's births?"
"Giving birth is a life-threatening experience. If I don't help, what will happen to Aunt Fang?"
"You are not the only neighbor in their family. You have never given birth to a child, so what can you do even if you go to help?" She instructed in an unquestionable tone, "Now, go back immediately and find Aunt Miao and the Miao sisters-in-law. Tell them that Aunt Sun is about to give birth and Cui'er asked you for help. You don't know what to do."
He wanted to say more, but Jiang Ling glared at him, "Go!"
It was so cold, and it was better for Aunt Sun to give birth at home than to ride a tricycle to go to the hospital.
The aunts and sisters next door have given birth to many children and have experience in delivering babies for their own daughters-in-law, so it would be most appropriate to ask them for help.
After driving Chen Xiangyang away, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu no longer worried about this matter. At night, they both went to bed, and someone knocked on the door again.
Jiang Ling asked him mysteriously: "Do you believe it was Chen Xiangyang?"
"Well, I guess she gave birth."
Jiang Ling quickly got into bed, "I'm already lying down, go open the door."
If he didn't open the door, Chen Xiangyang would probably keep knocking, so Song Guanshu went downstairs to open the door.
Jiang Ling was lying in bed, hearing their conversation.
Chen Xiangyang was very excited, "Brother, I am here to tell you the good news. Aunt Fang gave birth to a son, and both mother and child are safe."
"Good thing." Song Guanshu's voice was calm.
Seeing only Song Guanshu but not Jiang Ling, he asked in confusion:
"Where's Jiang Ling?"
Song Guanshu stopped at the door and said, "She has gone to bed. I will tell her the good news tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiangyang was a little disappointed that he couldn't convey the good news to her in person, but Jiang Ling had already fallen asleep and he didn't want to disturb her.
He left reluctantly, "Brother, don't forget to tell Jiang Ling."
“I won’t forget it.”
After closing the door, Song Guanshu returned to the bedroom and saw a little head popping out from under the quilt, looking at him with big round eyes.
"Comrade Song Guanshu, you are not sincere at all. You even lied to him and said I fell asleep."
The bedroom at night is a private space belonging to him and Jiang Ling alone. He doesn't want outsiders to set foot there, no matter how good their friends are.
"I'm not sincere. Next time, someone who is sincere will open the door himself."
Jiang Ling quickly slid to her knees, "What a coincidence! I am also a very insincere person."
Song Guanshu nodded, "Two insincere people."
"Yes, they are a perfect match."
This mouth always seemed to say words that made him ecstatic.
However, before he could find the right words to respond to the question of a perfect match, Jiang Ling had already thought of something else, "Ah, Aunt Fang gave birth to several Zhaodi, and finally gave birth to Yaozu. Aunt Fang and Grandpa Sun should be very happy."
The opportunity was missed, and Song Guanshu hated himself for being so stupid.
Jiang Ling didn't notice his abnormality and continued to talk happily, "But the concubines of the Fang family probably won't be very happy."
Originally, the three daughters in the family could still get the family property.
Now that Old Mrs. Fang has given birth to a son, there is no way she will give her property to her daughter.
Without waiting for his response, Jiang Ling pushed him in dissatisfaction, "What do you think?"
Song Guanshu replied to her calmly, "You are right."
A perfunctory answer.
"I will go to Qingcheng with Chen Xiangyang tomorrow and will be back in the evening. The time of return is uncertain. You must lock the door immediately after you get home from get off work. I will bring the key."
Jiang Ling didn't ask him what he was going to do, but it seemed like he was discussing packaging matters with the packaging factory.
She hummed, "Bring the letter of introduction. If you can't come back at night, you can stay outside for one night."
The next day, Jiang Ling still remembered Song Guanshu's instructions and locked the door immediately after returning home.
She thought Song Guanshu would not come home until at least midnight, or even not come back at all.
Unexpectedly, he returned home after her. Hearing some noise at the door, Jiang Ling stuck her head out and saw Song Guanshu, who looked like a drowned rat.
"What happened?" He didn't know why he was soaked. It was the coldest time of the year and wearing wet clothes was not only cold but also likely to cause freezing.
His coat had frozen into a stiff shell, his hair was covered with a thin layer of ice, and his long hands were frozen purple.
Song Guanshu's face was uglier than ever before. Of course, anyone who encountered this situation would be in a bad mood.
"The river was not frozen, and a child fell into an ice hole. Chen Xiangyang went to rescue him, but the child grabbed his neck and he nearly drowned."
"So you went down and fished them out."
He hummed and took off his frozen clothes layer by layer.
"There's hot water in the kettle. Go wash up first and change your wet clothes. I'll go heat up the kang."
Song Guanshu took off his ice clothes, fearing that he would have a fever. Jiang Ling cooked a bowl of ginger soup according to her own ideas.
I don’t know if it tastes good, but it definitely helps to drive away the cold, so she cut a whole root of ginger into it.
"Drink it quickly."
Song Guanshu drank the ginger soup without changing his expression. Perhaps because he had stayed outside for too long in his cold clothes, Song Guanshu soon developed a fever.
Jiang Ling reached out and wiped his forehead, it was very hot.
She also took a look at the special parts and said, "This time it's a real fever, not Chinese medicine."
He thought with regret in his heart.
If I had known...
