"Brother, I've eaten a lot. I had a meal at home this morning. The buns smell so good..." Lingling didn't mind the man's nagging at all, and she happily agreed.
"Brother Dongzi, Brother Mingliang, this little girl is looking for you." As the man spoke, he saw Dongzi and Mingliang approaching the door.
Lingling looked back when she heard this, and Dongzi also saw the person coming. "Hey, are you the little girl from Fusheng?"
Lingdang nodded and said, "Brother Dongzi, Sister Qiao asked me to come to you and need help with something."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I have a batch of cloth that I need your help to transport to my home, which is in a village near Shanghai," Lingdang explained.
"Is it the batch that was delivered to Fusheng yesterday?" Mingliang asked from the side.
Lingdang nodded. Sister Qiao said that it had been transported to the warehouse.
"That's great. You guys should go. If it's inconvenient, drive the truck opposite the warehouse. That truck will be able to unload the goods this morning and won't leave today or tomorrow." Dongzi thought about it. Mingliang said yesterday that it took four trucks to pull the goods away slowly. It's okay to ride a tricycle in the city, but it's still a bit difficult to pull so much goods in the village.
"Okay, I'll drive to Fusheng after unloading the goods," Mingliang said.
"Okay, you decide," Dongzi said, patting Mingliang's shoulder.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zhenzhu also said, "Then Brother Mingliang, I will go back to Fusheng and wait for you. When the time comes, you can drive around to the back door. The warehouse is over there, and it is closer to the back door."
"I'll be there after lunch, you can go back and do your own thing."
"Okay, brother. Thank you for your hard work." Lingling's little mouth was very sweet. She kept calling him "brother", which made Dongzi and the others feel embarrassed.
Lingling said hello and happily rode her bicycle back to Fusheng. She strolled around the store and asked about yesterday's business situation. After confirming that everything was correct, she took the key to the warehouse and counted the cloth delivered yesterday. Based on the information on the paper given by Nanqiao, she calculated how many pieces of cloth could be cut and how much it would cost in total. Then she went to the cashier to pay the fee.
This was the job that Sister Qiao had assigned to her, and she had to do it well. However, her mother was just an ordinary village woman, and she was worried that her mother might miss something, so she did the preliminary work very carefully.
After counting everything and talking to the person in charge at the front office, I went back to the office to sort out the ordering plan and the revenue for the past week.
After putting everything in order, Lingling stretched and took the cold rice that had been placed aside and started to eat. After finishing the rice, she took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, then watered the flowers and took care of the green plants in the yard, waiting for Brother Mingliang to come.
"Lingdang, someone from Chaoyang just passed by the front door and asked us to open the back door," a little girl ran in from the front yard and said to Lingdang.
"Here?" Lingling said subconsciously, and ran to open the door. When the girl saw the news, she went to the front to do her own thing.
As soon as "Brother Mingliang" Lingling opened the door, he saw the car parked outside and Mingliang jumping off the truck.
"Just do your work, we'll be quick, we'll call you when we're done," Mingliang said, and started working quickly, padding the truck with a large piece of cloth and stacking the batches of cloth neatly in the back.
Seeing that she could not help much, Lingling nodded and went to the kitchen to pour water for everyone. She also placed cakes and tea neatly on the stone table in the yard. She watched Mingliang and the others busying themselves. When she saw that they could lift ten pieces of cloth with one hand and it looked very easy, Lingling was so surprised that she wanted to applaud them.
For the first time, I had a practical understanding of the disparity in strength between men and women. Looking at my own body, I realized that I had indeed lost some weight. I felt that Mingliang could lift me up with just one finger.
After Mingliang and the others had packed up their things, Lingling asked someone to lock the back door from the inside, and then followed them towards home.
The truck caused quite a stir when it entered the village. Many children followed the truck closely, cheering and shouting excitedly. The villagers who were working in the village also turned their heads to look at the truck and chatted with each other in whispers.
The road in the village was not easy to walk on. The truck swayed all the way to the door of Lingdang's house. There were some old earthenware recipes, but they were clean and tidy.
Lingling got out of the car, opened the door, led a few people into the house, and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm back."
Lingdang's mother came out of the house after hearing the noise. When she saw Lingdang coming back with several people, she froze and walked towards Lingdang in fear. She pulled Lingdang and whispered, "Lingdang, who are these?"
"Mom, they are friends of my boss' husband. They are here to help deliver the fabrics. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I plan to keep the fabrics at our house first? During this period, everyone can come to you to settle the bills. Is that okay?"
Lingling looked at her mother expectantly. Before she was sent down to the countryside, her mother was also a financial worker. It was not difficult for her to do these things. The only difficulty was in her heart.
"Can I do this?" Mother Lingdang hesitated. In recent years, she has not touched anything other than farming and sowing seeds. She is not sure if she can do this.
"You can, mom. Look, this is what our boss has planned. Just collect the cloth according to this requirement. If anyone is not satisfied, we won't settle with them. If anyone dares not to return our cloth, I will ask a few brothers to come to the village to settle accounts with them, right?" Lingling said, winking at Mingliang.
Mingliang, who received the signal, immediately agreed, "Don't worry, auntie, what we have the most here is people. We are brothers. If you need us, I will arrange a few people to guard tomorrow. I don't see who dares to make trouble." Mingliang said with a dark face and looked at the people watching the excitement outside the yard, as if if you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will beat you so hard that your parents can't recognize you...
