Chapter 186186 (Catching Bugs) Daily Work
Yu Shaofen was wearing a grey plaid coat with a blue sweater underneath, a pair of black leather shoes, and a thermos lunch box in her hands. She came in clacking to the beat of her voice: "I came to see you!"
Ding Guo had just changed her work environment. Yu Shaofen had been worried about her the whole morning and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt, so she came to check on her during her lunch break.
Ding Guo hurriedly introduced her to Li Shumei: "This is an elder in my family, my Aunt Yu!"
Then he introduced her to Yu Shaofen: "This is my colleague Li Shumei, Sister Shumei!"
"Hello, Comrade Yu!"
"Hello, Comrade Li!"
The two of them smiled and shook hands and greeted each other. Yu Shaofen opened the lunch box she had brought with her. She provided the ingredients herself and asked the chef in the company cafeteria to make chicken soup for her.
As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of chicken soup wafted out.
Li Shumei could only pretend that she didn't see it, but the fragrance kept drilling into her nose.
Yu Shaofen was also worried that Ding Guo's food was too good and other people would say something irresponsible, so she also emphasized: "You are pregnant, drink more chicken soup to replenish your body."
Li Shumei interrupted and said, "Your family is so lucky to have twins at once."
Yu Shaofen looked at Ding Guo with a smile and agreed with her decision to publicly announce her pregnancy with twins.
Knowing that she is pregnant with two babies, she doesn't have to compromise on food to please others. Others will give in to you when there is heavy lifting at work.
You can do more after the baby is born. Don't try to be stubborn now.
The lid of the lunch box is equivalent to a small bowl. Yu Shaofen poured a lid for Li Shumei and said a few polite words with a smile, which were nothing more than asking her to take care of her children more often.
"We should take care of each other. Comrade Yu is too polite."
Li Shumei became more and more certain that Ding Guo was pregnant with two children, and not only her parents-in-law were happy, but even her husband's relatives treated her like a treasure.
Comrade Yu dresses in a capable and fashionable way, and I don’t know what his family does.
"Aunt Yu, have you eaten?"
Yu Shaofen smiled and said, "I've eaten. I just came to see how you've adapted to your new environment. Okay, hurry up and eat. I have to go back to work. I'll come to see you after work in the evening."
Ding Guo went out to see her off, and Yu Shaofen whispered to her about the new colleague's personality and whether she was compatible with him.
Although Ding Guo hadn't drunk the hot chicken soup yet, her heart was already warm. She took Yu Shaofen's arm and whispered, "Sister Shumei is very nice and cheerful. We get along very well."
Yu Shaofen felt relieved, and gave Ding Guo a few more reminders, asking him to be careful when working and not to try to be stubborn.
After watching Yu Shaofen leave, Ding Guo went back to continue eating.
Li Shumei couldn't help but ask curiously who this relative from her husband's side was. Just then a customer came to pay the bill, so Ding Guo answered vaguely without elaborating.
At around 2 p.m., a young man came in with a stack of books in each hand and said, "Sister Li, the restock you requested last time has arrived. Click..."
The man put the book on the cashier counter, took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Li Shumei, asking her to check it against it.
Li Shumei took it and called inside: "Ding Guo, come here——"
Zhou Dong listened with confusion: "A newcomer? Where's Sister Zhao?"
Li Shumei said: "Her husband was transferred to another place, and she followed him."
Zhou Dong was surprised and asked, "When was he transferred? Why didn't you tell me?"
Last week he passed by here and came in to say hello to Li Shumei and the others, but he hadn't heard about this. Unexpectedly, when he came here today, the new employees had already started working.
This arrangement was too quick. I didn't hear any news about it before. If I had known earlier, I would have made arrangements in advance to let his sister come here to work.
His sister was being urged by the street office to go to the countryside, but the family had been dragging it out. His parents were being talked to by the street office and the unit every day, and the family was worried about arranging a job for his sister.
"Relatives of Sister Zhao?" Zhou Dong asked again.
The successor was taken over so quickly and the news was kept secret. Either the person was a relative of Sister Zhao or a relative of a leader in the office, otherwise he would not have heard any news of the recruitment.
Ding Guo was choosing a book to read at the counter inside. When she heard Sister Shumei calling her, she quickly put the book back and turned to walk out.
Li Shumei did not respond to whether Ding Guo was a relative of "Sister Zhao", but talked about the arrangement of her former colleague: "He was transferred two days ago, and the arrangement was quite urgent!"
A figure appeared in the corner of Zhou Dong's eye. He subconsciously turned his head to look over, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
Li Shumei was greeting Ding Guo: "I'll tell you how to count the goods we ordered two days ago." She pointed at Zhou Dong and said, "This is Zhou Dong, the deliveryman from the head office. We'll have to deal with each other in the future. You two should get to know each other."
He also introduced Ding Guo to Zhou Dong.
Zhou Dong came back to his senses with a start and said hurriedly, "Hello, Comrade Ding Guo, my name is Zhou Dong."
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Zhou Dong. Please take care of me in the future."
“Take care of each other!” Zhou Dong felt his face getting hot. He scratched his head uncomfortably and said with a smile.
The new store clerk is so pretty. I wonder if she has found a partner.
Li Shumei saw Zhou Dong's expression when she spoke. She couldn't help curling her lips and said to Ding Guo very deliberately: "Just check the goods on the table. Don't move them. You are pregnant."
Zhou Dong: ...
The little pang in my heart disappeared in an instant.
"Okay Sister Shumei!"
Li Shumei ignored Zhou Dong and told Ding Guo about the inventory process: "Check the order, if the quantity is correct, put a check mark at the end... Finally, sign here to confirm that there is no problem... After that, we will register it into the warehouse. The inventory book is this..."
Li Shumei opened the drawer, took out another book, and said, "Don't worry, count first and come back to register later."
"good!"
Ding Guo started to check the goods on the list. Li Shumei was watching beside him. She glanced at the titles of the books on the list and asked, "Zhou Dong, you didn't give us this issue of Children's Literature?"
Zhou Dong hurriedly said, "Not only is Children's Literature out of stock, but Shanghai Youth is also out of stock. We are also urging you to send it to you when it arrives." He then said, "You asked for five dictionaries last time, and there are not many left. I will send you three first and make up for it later."
Li Shumei nodded and continued to watch Ding Guo order the goods.
After checking the list, Ding Guo asked Li Shumei to check it again, and finally signed on the list. There were two copies of the list, and Zhou Dong took one of them and left.
Li Shumei began to teach Ding Guo how to register for inventory.
"Your handwriting is so beautiful." Li Shumei's own handwriting is average, but when she saw Ding Guo writing in a flamboyant style in the notebook, she couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
Ding Guo smiled modestly: "It's OK!"
After registering, Ding Guo asked, "Sister Shumei, do you want to put it on the cabinet?"
"Put it together. Don't put this comic book set aside for now. I'm saving it for my friend."
Li Shumei openly put away a set of comic books.
Ding Guo took a quick look and saw that it was called "Shashiyu". She had never seen this series before and this was the first time she had seen it.
Because she had just registered, Ding Guo knew that there was only one set of this comic book. She asked, "Sister Shumei, is this comic book also out of stock?"
"It's out of stock. This is a new comic book published this year. It's out of stock. My relative asked me to order it for his child. It's been almost half a month and it was finally delivered to me." Li Shumei emphasized again, "I ordered this set."
Ding Guo asked her son Haozi: "Haozi, do we have this comic book in our bookstore?"
Although there is a bookstore in her mall, she has not taken a close look at what books are available because it is not free. Ding Guo does not have the hobby of looking at book titles.
System: “…No!”
After saying this, he was afraid of being criticized, so he quickly explained: "It should be that the relevant information of this set of books was not scanned during the upgrade."
Ding Guo went to Li Shumei to find out more information: "Sister Shumei, when was this set of books published? I will order a set for my brother later."
Li Shumei said: "The first printing will be in September. Let Zhou Dong know when he comes to restock our stock. But we may have to wait for a while, so it's hard to decide!"
Ding Guo silently calculated the time. Oh, the mall seemed to be still being upgraded at that time. No wonder this set of books was not synchronized.
She had previously planned to use the bookstore in the mall to find books outside to fill in the gaps, but now it seems that her system is not omnipotent enough, and she has to find other books to fill in the gaps.
Someone came to pay, and Ding Guo took the initiative to collect the money and give the change in order to become familiar with the business.
Li Shumei went to restock the shelves first, and Ding Guo followed her after he finished his work.
The work in the bookstore was not very busy, just a lot of small things. At the end of the day, Ding Guo followed and learned how to hand over the accounts, close the doors and windows, check the doors and windows, and then lock the door and go home.
Not long after Ding Guo got home, Yu Shaofen came over.
At noon, Ding Guo told her to come directly and not to buy anything, but Yu Shaofen still bought a few apples.
There was more rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables, and a piece of meat in the kitchen, weighing about two pounds.
Aunt Zhang also steamed a pot of steamed buns for her, covered them with a cloth and put them in the cupboard.
Yu Shaofen rolled up her sleeves to cook. Ding Guo went back to the house, filled a pot of well water, brought it out and put it on the stove to boil, and then helped Yu Shaofen.
Yu Shaofen asked about her work that day, and Ding Guo gave a brief account, saying, "It was pretty easy."
Yu Shaofen also felt that working in a bookstore was good. She had time to sit down and rest, as well as to get up and move around in the spacious hall, and she could also read books for free.
Pei Yu came over in the evening, also to show concern for whether Ding Guo was adapting to his new job.
"It's quite adaptable, but we don't have a fixed weekend off. We can only take shifts and try to avoid weekends." Ding Guo said regretfully, "Sister, I'll go shopping by myself when I have time. I'll slowly add furniture."
Pei Yu is just the opposite of Ding Guo. She normally takes weekends off unless she has a performance.
However, there is no compensatory leave on weekends when there are performances, unless you are on a business trip.
After the performance outside, you can take a day off when you come back.
If you want to rest on weekdays, you have to ask for leave.
Ding Guo knew that his elder sister-in-law had asked for leave for him several times, so there was no need for her to take leave specifically to accompany him for something like shopping.
In fact, furniture is delivered to the door, so Ding Guo doesn't need to do it herself. Pei Yu is not too worried. She is afraid that Ding Guo will go shopping alone and choose things without anyone to discuss with. Since their schedules don't match, she can only let her sister-in-law choose by herself.
But he also suggested to her: "If it doesn't work, call Aunt Zhang."
Ding Guo agreed, but she didn't plan to call Aunt Zhang. She went back to the department store to look at the styles and then buy from the system mall.
If you don't like the style, ask around to find a skilled carpenter and have one custom made for you.
Pei Yu didn't stay long. He talked to Yu Shaofen for a while and then rode away on his bike.
Yu Shaofen once again lamented that Ding Guo did not have good parents, but had a good in-law family.
When he learned that the old man was looking for someone to take care of Ding Guo's diet and daily life, he said, "I will come to accompany you during this period, and let your grandfather take his time to choose. In the future, I can help take care of you during the confinement period and take care of the child."
Ding Guo is pregnant with twins, and it will be difficult for one nanny to take care of the children, so she will have to find another one in the future.
The two talked for a while and went to bed before nine o'clock. When they woke up the next morning, Yu Shaofen had already prepared breakfast and the food that Ding Guo was going to bring.
Yesterday Aunt Zhang bought eggplants, cabbages, beans and white radishes for the family.
Knowing that Ding Guo liked fried radish meatballs, Yu Shaofen got up this morning and fried a small basket of them for her. She also made fried eggplant and meat for her to take to the office. She didn't make fried eggs, but scrambled eggs with soy sauce.
The two of them had fried cabbage, millet porridge, and big steamed buns for breakfast.
After eating, they both went out at the same time, riding their bikes in different directions.
There are more people in the store today than yesterday. Ding Guo witnessed Li Shumei's true strength. Her howling voice can cover the entire bookstore, reminding customers not to damage books.
Although Ding Guo worked as a bookstore clerk in the 1970s, her attitude had not yet been assimilated by the sales clerks of that era. She could not command people by shouting, so she would just give reminders in a gentle manner.
At noon, a little boy came in and asked if there was a fourth-grade math textbook because his textbook was lost.
Although Ding Guo did not look at the list of books in the system mall, she memorized the names of the books at her workplace yesterday and regretfully told the elementary school student that their store did not have a fourth-grade math textbook.
Not to mention math textbooks, there are no other textbooks either.
The little boy left wiping his tears.
Ding Guo sighed silently.
In a year or so, the variety of books in bookstores will not be so thin.
Li Shumei took care of Ding Guo for three days and then prepared to take a day off.
Ding Guo suddenly became nervous: "Sister Shumei, are you too confident in me?"
She has only been on the job for three days, and already you're letting her take on the responsibilities alone?
Li Shumei was indeed very relieved. She had seen Ding Guo's performance during the past three days. She had also learned all the procedures and could handle all the work content. If she really couldn't handle it, she would go to the back door and call Accountant Sun.
Accountant Sun originally also did odd jobs in the store.
When it is not busy, let him stay behind, and when it is busy, let him come over to help.
So, the next day Ding Guo worked alone for a day.
Accountant Sun obviously knew about this and would come over from time to time, fearing that the new comrade Xiao Ding would be in a mess.
Ding Guo met Director Liu again, who had helped her to join the company that day.
This is the first time I have seen Director Liu since I started working.
Director Liu also came over for a walk, asked Ding Guo about her adaptation to the new job, and told her to contact the organization if she had any difficulties. He did not stay long and went back.
Ding Guo was a little nervous when she first came in the morning, but as she slowly realized that she could indeed handle it, she gradually relaxed and worked in an orderly manner.
The only unexpected incident was that at around 3:00 p.m., someone from the store on Wangfujing Street came to take two books. Accountant Sun brought some people over and taught Ding Guo how to go through the process to take the two books off the shelves.
Ding Guo did as he was told and Accountant Sun signed.
However, Li Shumei was a little unhappy when she found out the next day.
She was unhappy not because Ding Guo asked Wangfujing to transfer the books. After all, Ding Guo had just arrived and it was the first time he encountered such a situation, so of course he would choose to cooperate.
She was unhappy about Accountant Sun's 'rebellion'.
"I went to Wangfujing to get some books before, but they were reluctant to cooperate. I know that, but they let their people take our books. I'm going to settle the score with them."
Li Shumei went to the back to argue with Accountant Sun.
Ding Guo: ...Did Sister Shumei really not vent her anger on her?
