A few days after Su Xiaqiu heard the news, Han Meili was taken away by the person who bought her.
Na Su Xieqiu got up early and went to the village to buy tofu, and happened to meet him.
The man who came to pick up Han Meili was in his 40s, and looked not much younger than Han Baoguo.
At that time, Han Meili was holding two pieces of dessert in her hands. She was eating while grinning foolishly. Her saliva flowed onto her clothes, making her look a little sloppy.
The man held her tightly with one hand and held a bundle in the other hand, which should be Han Meili's clothes.
Su Xieqiu heard from the villagers that it was the old bachelor who bought her for 66 yuan.
She came back and told Grandma Du about it. The old lady sighed.
"That woman is really cruel. For that little bit of money, she actually sold her daughter to someone else to have a child. If it were me, I would rather raise her for the rest of her life than let anyone abuse her. When I die, I'll take her with me. We can go to the underworld together. At least I won't leave her to suffer in this world."
Su Xieqiu put the tofu in a bowl, added chopped green onions, some salt and sesame oil, and it became a plate of green onion tofu.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, if Yang Lanhua was as sensible as you, that family wouldn't have ended up like this."
Grandma Du was so pleased with her praise that she took out some pancakes from the pot and asked, "Zhenyu's wife, will Zhenyu be back soon?"
"According to the time, it should be within these two days." Su Xieqiu wiped his hands and said, "Grandma, I'll go tell them to wash their hands and eat."
"Go ahead, I'll fry some eggs with soybean paste." Grandma Du said.
The children also got up very early, and Chenchen took them to pull weeds in the private plot in the backyard.
In this season, not only do crops grow fast, but weeds also grow wildly. Even if you pull them out, they will grow again in a few days.
………
Han Zhenyu went on a business trip to Yangquan, which is by the sea. They brought back several trucks of dried fish and shrimps.
A few drivers kept some for themselves and sent the rest to the factory's supply and marketing cooperative.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the factory.
When it’s time to get off work, many people rush to the supply and marketing cooperatives, fearing that if they go too late, the goods will be gone.
These things don't require tickets, they are on a first-come, first-served basis. Although there are limited quantities each time, there are not enough for thousands of people.
So at this time, it depends on who runs faster.
Han Zhenyu left a bag of salted fish and dried shrimps. It was time to get off work and the factory was full of people, so it was not convenient for him to take so much back.
Han Zhenyu stopped at the Transportation Department for a while, and waited until most people who were leaving get off work had left. He took half of the bag and tied it to his bicycle, and then sent the remaining half bag to his cousin.
His cousin Du Yuejuan became a regular employee in the second year after joining the factory, and she fell in love with Li Huazhang from the transportation team two years ago.
The two dated for a year and got married last year.
Li Huazhang had made contributions in the army before, so the factory took care of him and allocated a suite to him.
This time Li Huazhang did not go to Yangquan. He went to Haishi with Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang.
Han Zhenyu went to the big kitchen first. Du Yuejuan had not yet finished get off work and was getting food at the window.
Han Zhenyu didn't disturb her. He sat in the kitchen and exchanged a few words with Li Shaohua's father-in-law.
He pointed to the pocket on the car outside the door and whispered, "Uncle Zhou, I brought you some dried octopus and a bag of high-quality shrimp this time. I'll have my sister deliver it to you in the evening."
Chef Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted Han Zhenyu on the shoulder, "Good boy, you really understand your uncle."
"Uncle Zhou, I know you like this, so I went to the fishermen to get it for you. The quality is better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative."
Han Zhenyu did not lie. He always selected the gifts he bought for others.
If you want to do a favor, there is no need to be stingy, so as to avoid spending money and not getting any benefit.
Besides, these things are not expensive to buy locally.
"Okay, okay, your sister and I live in the same building. If she's not available, I can go get it." Chef Zhou didn't bother to be polite.
He knew that Han Zhenyu and his son-in-law got along like brothers, so he didn't make it a formality.
Han Zhenyu saw how anxious he was and thought the old man was cute, but it was inconvenient to give it to him here, so he could only smile and say, "Okay, I'll put the things at my cousin's place later, and you can just go and get them."
When Han Zhenyu just came in, Du Yuejuan saw him, called a colleague to come and get her lunch, and then hurried over.
"Brother, you're back?"
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded, "Is it almost time to get off work?"
Before Du Yuejuan could answer, Chef Zhou waved at her and said, "The kitchen is almost done. If you have anything else to do, go back first."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you for your hard work here. I will come early tomorrow." Du Yuejuan said as she took off her apron.
Han Zhenyu greeted Chef Zhou and left the kitchen with Du Yuejuan.
The brother and sister came to the downstairs of the family building where Du Yuejuan lived. Han Zhenyu lowered his voice and said, "I brought back some dried fish from the south this time. Can you help me deliver it tonight?"
Du Yuejuan took it and looked at it: "Brother, who are you giving it to this time?"
"Keep a portion for your family, and give all the dried squid to your master. Give him a dried fish and a pound of dried shrimp. The rest are Director Bai, Chairman Xie of the labor union, Chief Liu of the personnel department, and Chen Donglai of the security department. Each family should get two salted fish and a pound of dried shrimp. Oh, and Li Chong."
The people Han Zhenyu mentioned all had some friendship with him. If he went to send them off, it would be too conspicuous and it would not be good if seen by others.
So he asked his cousin to do all these things. Du Yuejuan had become eloquent and perceptive after working in the factory for the past few years.
Han Zhenyu felt relieved to leave this matter to her.
Du Yuejuan nodded: "I see, brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go get you some food."
"No, I have to visit a friend and will eat at his house later." Han Zhenyu said.
He helped Du Yuejuan deliver the things upstairs, and before leaving, he reminded her, "Go deliver them later, and try to avoid people."
"Okay, I know, brother, you should go back early."
Han Zhenyu waved at her and went to Yuan Liyong's house.
This time he went to Yangquan to discuss a business deal, but he couldn't handle it alone, so he planned to find Yuan Liyong to partner with him.
Han Zhenyu and Yuan Liyong have known each other for almost ten years. They have similar personalities and are friends and good buddies who can trust each other.
Yuan Liyong's family had just put the food on the table. Seeing him coming, Yuan Liyong's wife greeted him and hurried to the kitchen to prepare the food. His eldest son also followed to help light the fire.
"Today is really rare. In the past, I would rush home before it got dark. How could you bear to come out so late at night?" Yuan Liyong glanced at Han Zhenyu and went to the cupboard to get a bottle of Moutai.
Han Zhenyu ignored his teasing, took a few salted fish and two kilograms of dried shrimps and put them on the table, took two packets of milk candy for Yuan Liyong's children, and sat down on the sofa in his house.
He ordered like a master: "Pour me a glass of water."
