Xu Ning looked at the time and saw that there was still some time before the afternoon class, so he prepared to go to the workshop to take a look.
"Erquan, I'm going to take a look around the workshop."
Wang Erquan said, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I'll just take a look, you go and do your work!" After saying that, he walked out of the door and went straight to the workshop.
The inside was very clean and the workers were all wearing uniform robes and hats.
When the busy workers saw her come in, they all respectfully called out, "Sister-in-law."
Xu Ning smiled and nodded at them, looking at the freshly-cooked snacks on the large chopping board. The brown sugar steamed cake was cut into diamond shapes, and each piece was cut neatly.
On the chopping board next to them were freshly baked egg cakes, red bean cakes, and mung bean cakes.
These were delivered to the shop in the afternoon. Now Red Memories is very famous in Beijing.
The factory delivers goods to each store twice a day, at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each store has a limited supply of goods and closes when all the goods are sold out.
Because the food tastes good and the service is great, every time the food is restocked, there are always many people standing outside the door waiting to buy.
She plans to add another variety, peanut crisps, in the future. This was suggested by Grandma Wang.
She said she had learned it from the cook at home when she was young, but now she had forgotten the steps. She was currently studying the method and was almost successful.
Several family members of the workers who had just arrived were skillfully kneading dough and making snacks. They did not look very old.
Most of them are young wives in their twenties, with only one who is a little older, looking around thirty years old.
They were all dressed like simple country wives, wearing a work gown on the upper body, coarse cloth pants and handmade cloth shoes on the lower body.
Seeing her come in, no one dared to speak and just smiled shyly.
The older one, seeing that none of them spoke, plucked up the courage to speak:
"Sister-in-law, we are not well educated and don't know how to express our gratitude. We will work hard in the future.
When we first arrived here, the men in the family told us that my sister-in-law was everyone's benefactor, and if anyone dared to do anything bad here, they would drive us back home.
Don't worry, sister-in-law. We will do our best here and will not hold you and the battalion commander back. ”
Xu Ning smiled and said, “The men in your family are all good brothers of my wife, and we will be good sisters in the future.
I promise you here that as long as the factory is profitable, I will never treat you unfairly.
The factory is now preparing to build dormitories! If nothing goes wrong, you will be able to move in in June, and both husband and wife can have a single room.
The factory will build a nursery in a while, and you can bring your children there then.
When you are at work, you can put the younger children in a nursery, and the factory will pay for it.
Older children can also study in Beijing, and the factory will subsidize part of the expenses. ”
Everyone in the workshop heard her words, and for a moment, the workshop was silent.
The older woman choked up and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xu Ning was about to say you're welcome when he heard everyone shouting, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The sound was so loud that it almost blew the roof off, and it scared her so much that if it weren't for the large chopping board behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.
She exhaled lightly, smiled and said to everyone: "From now on, we are a family, don't be polite, you guys go to work, I also have to go back to school."
After coming out of the workshop, Xu Ning secretly patted her chest. Oh my god, the loud noise just now scared her to death.
If it weren't for that chopping board, she would have made a huge fool of herself in front of Lu Xiaotang and his brothers today.
There was still half an hour before class started, so she went to the office to say hello to Zhang Sheng and rode her bike back to school.
Zhao Yafei was sitting and talking to a classmate in the front row. When she saw her come in, she nodded to her with a slightly red face.
She regretted asking that question in the morning. What if Xu An was not interested in her? It would be so embarrassing to meet Xu Ning in the future.
She liked Xu Ning very much and didn't want to lose this good friend, but now she didn't know how to face it.
Oh, it’s so annoying. Why bother asking others if they have a partner? Why are you, a girl, so proactive? Really.
Xu Ning didn't know about her dilemma. He smiled and nodded at her, then quickly walked back to his seat because class was about to start.
She arrives at the classroom on time every day. Not only her classmates know it, but even her teachers know that she is not active in class and runs away faster than anyone else after class.
Finally, when I found out that she had three children and had to go home to take care of them after school every day, I stopped arguing with her.
If Niupitang knew that mom used them as an excuse to be late or leave early, she would definitely laugh at her and say that we are so well-behaved that we don’t need mom to take care of us.
My mother goes to school so late because she likes to sleep in. She runs home after class to deliver goods to the uncles who set up stalls. She wants to earn money, not to go home to take care of the children.
