Unlike the leaders of the purchasing department, ordinary employees of department stores are quite welcoming of all kinds of defective products. Who doesn’t like to exchange them for scarce items outside at a low price?
In addition to the materials specified in the documents, unplanned materials are naturally indispensable. Basically, all stores and factory purchasing departments have similar situations, which are customary rules.
There are generally two types. One is a private form, which does not involve accounting. Factories make adjustments to each other as a benefit for employees.
The second is that when the goods are insufficient, the buyer has to find a way on his own. He is not given an invoice, but only money. How much he can purchase depends entirely on his ability. If he can complete the target ahead of time, he doesn't have to come to work.
It is not easy to be a buyer. Everyone has their own connections and ways. When the supply is really insufficient, they will use their connections to get a batch of things to balance the accounts. Occasionally, there will be excess items, which will also be sold at the purchase price and digested internally.
In the morning, He Ruixue got to know most of her colleagues. Most of the colleagues in the three groups were male. As they worked in purchasing, they often needed to communicate with people. Each of them was more eloquent than the other and would not offend anyone easily. They were all kind and warm to her.
A few young boys, seeing how pretty she was, immediately offered to treat her to a meal and rushed to help her sweep the floor and pour water. Their enthusiasm was annoying, but she didn't want to show a bad face on the first day. Xia Lingqing noticed that she was uncomfortable, so she scolded them with a smile and drove them away.
At noon, Xia Lingqing took her to the cafeteria for lunch. There was only one cafeteria in the unit, and the sales department and other departments had their meals separately. The cafeteria was divided into several stalls, and all the dishes were the same.
She walked forward with the crowd, holding the meal ticket, first made two fist-sized steamed buns made of two-grain flour, and handed over the lunch box to the aunt to serve the dishes.
Today's dishes are good. There is one dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes and one dish of stewed radish with big bones. The bones are shaved cleanly without a trace of meat, but the big bone soup is also very delicious. There is also a dish of pickled cabbage with red chilies added in it, which looks very appetizing.
No wonder everyone wants to eat at a collective restaurant at work now, it’s much better than at home.
Xia Lingqing put down his lunch box and sat across from her. "You came at an unlucky time today. We only have meat three times a week in the cafeteria. Yesterday we had pork belly stewed with potatoes. It was a huge portion. I couldn't finish it all. I took the remaining half home and added some potatoes to make another meat dish."
He Ruixue learned that she was a local, but was unsure about her marital status. She asked, "Sister Xia, when did you get married?"
"I got married within two years of working. My husband works in the railway construction department. He's out all day, building roads and mountains, and he's rarely home. My mother-in-law helps me take care of the children."
"Ah? Sister Xia, you already have a child. It doesn't look like it."
Being called young, Xia Lingqing's lips curled up. "My child is almost two years old, a chubby girl. I'll bring her over to you someday... Actually, our company has a nursery, but my daughter is shy. Once I bring her over, she cries non-stop, and no one can comfort her. So I had to ask my mother-in-law to come and help take care of her. I give her ten yuan a month, and she's happy to save for her retirement."
From Xia Lingqing's dress and work style, it can be seen that her family is well-off. Her husband is probably a leader with a good salary. Her father-in-law has a job and lives somewhere else with her mother-in-law. He usually doesn't come to disturb the young couple and they live a very comfortable life.
"My eldest sister-in-law is a childcare worker and is very good at taking care of children. She gave birth to four children and raised them well."
"Really? Then she's pretty amazing. Just having her is enough for me to worry about."
After chatting for a while, the two returned to work. He Ruixue spent the whole afternoon reading documents. Xia Lingqing was indeed a nice person. Seeing that she had just reported in and there was really not much work to deal with, he reminded her that she could leave early around three o'clock in the afternoon.
"You just arrived and are still in the adaptation stage. Just work for half a day. Remember to go to the street office to finalize your household registration and get your food and non-staple food books as soon as possible."
He Ruixue readily accepted the offer, thanked her for her kindness, and returned to the dormitory with a smile, simply packed her things, and rode her bike back.
Her household registration is in the countryside, and if she wants to transfer it, she needs to find the village team leader and write a statement.
Qingshan Brigade is not remote. As a village near a prefecture-level city, it takes about 40 minutes by bus and about half an hour to walk to the village. It is not as prosperous as the county, but its conditions are better than other communes.
After returning to the yard, He Ruixue realized that her life experience was far inferior to that of her elder brother and sister-in-law. It turned out that they had thought of this a long time ago. They called the commune last night and asked someone to tell her parents in the village about this happy event. They also asked them to get all the relevant certificates so as not to delay her business.
So early this morning, the two old people couldn't help but take a bus to the city with their household registration information and documents issued by the brigade, and they couldn't wait to see their lovely daughter.
As soon as she entered the yard and before she parked the car, two people came out quickly. The man silently helped her push the cart, and the woman touched her hand and kept saying that she had lost weight.
Her mother, Zhao Meiya, is a head shorter than her. Even though she is about to have a great-grandson, she is actually only in her fifties.
He Ruixue lowered her head slightly and looked down. She could see her black and white hair. She was so afraid of the cold that she wrapped her head with a black headscarf. The skin on her face became shriveled and dry like the peel of an orange that had been through a lot of vicissitudes of life.
But from the distribution of her facial features, it can still be seen that she was a beautiful girl when she was young.
The bones and blue veins on her hands were very obvious, with occasional light brown age spots. Her palms were covered with thin calluses, and she kept rubbing her face, as gently as if she were treating a treasure, afraid of hurting her.
He Ruixue felt complicated when she saw the person in her memory. The mother came with anticipation and joy, but she would never see her most beloved daughter again. If she knew the truth, she would definitely hate her as an outsider who occupied her daughter's body.
But she couldn't control all this. She also wanted to go back to the modern era, enjoy air conditioning, mobile phones and games, and go out for a trip occasionally, instead of staying in an era with no entertainment and insufficient food and clothing.
Could it be that she had been too lazy in her previous life and that God came to punish her?
Thinking of this, she blinked slightly sadly, hid her feelings in her throat, and called out softly, "Mom."
"Hey! Mom is here, Dongbao, you've been wronged. I heard your sister-in-law is not a good person. She won't even give you an egg to eat. Your brother is also heartless. He won't help his sister. I must give them a hard time!
And that Lu Lan, not only is she dishonest but she's blaming my grandson for her own misconduct, but it's useless. She can't even control her family. I didn't even dare to ask the villagers about her dowry. How could she have the nerve to snatch your eggs!"
He Ruixue raised her eyes and saw a familiar face sitting in the corner of the yard pasting matchboxes. She realized that it must be those idle people who instigated it again.
