"That's just the way it is, but a lot of outstanding gay men and women from the neighborhood will be attending that day, so I think it's a pity. Sister-in-law, don't even think about it. Only single gays can go to the social gathering. You don't have a chance, sister-in-law."
Song Tanglan was disappointed when she heard this. She really wanted to see how people go on blind dates nowadays, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have the opportunity to get in.
"Sister-in-law, don't make that expression. If the boss knew that you wanted to go to the social gathering because of what I said, he would definitely skin me alive."
Xiao Zhu was frightened by Song Tanglan's expression and quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"No, I'm just curious about how young people go on blind dates these days. But if you want to go, ask Brother Xu to give you a day off. Work is important, but so is future happiness. There are a lot of single men and women in the factory! Is this social gathering a big one?"
"It's huge. I heard a lot of girls from the neighborhood have signed up. The organizers must have put a lot of thought into this social!"
Song Tanglan became thoughtful when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something and said this.
"Then I'll talk to your boss and try to give you half a day off so you can both find your other half."
"Okay, okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiao Zhu was very happy to hear this. He had already thought about what kind of clothes he would wear with his brothers that day so as to attract the attention of female comrades.
Song Tanglan sat in an empty office for a long time. As soon as they got off work, she came to their workstations.
"Second sister. Taotao."
"Lanlan, why are you here at the factory today?" The two were a little surprised by her sudden arrival.
"I was bored at home so I came to see you guys. Are you guys going to eat? Come find me after you get your food and we'll eat together!"
"Okay, then you wait for us for a while, we'll go get some food first." Su Tao was very happy to see her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a few days. She thought about getting her food quickly and then chatting with her about how she had been doing during this period.
She really wanted to know about her friend's married life and tease her a little. After all, she had gone through the same thing in the past. How could she miss such a good opportunity now?
The two of them quickly prepared the meal and came to Song Tanglan's office.
Song Tanglan had already tidied up the mess on the table and was now placing the dishes she had packed from the state-owned restaurant, waiting for the two to arrive.
As soon as Song Tangcheng came in, he saw the food on the table and said in disbelief.
"Did you go to the state-owned restaurant specifically to pack up your food?"
"Yeah, the food I cooked myself didn't suit your appetite, so I just happened to be passing by and packed some extra. Second sister, Taotao, why are you still standing there? Come on, sit down, or the food will get cold."
Upon hearing this, Su Tao didn't bother to be polite with her friend. She opened her two lunch boxes and sat down.
The food in the lunch box was simple sorghum rice with stir-fried vegetables and spicy and sour potato shreds. This kind of food was considered very rich in an ordinary factory.
Other factories might not be able to enjoy such good facilities, but most of the people in their factory are people they know, so they are not stingy when it comes to food.
