351 Grandpa is here, inside, inside the lighthouse...

The class time of the red-raising class is synchronized with that of the food factory.

Once the food factory is on holiday, the red breeding class will also be on holiday.

Little Chenchen has been very respectful recently and has been attending classes every day and having a lot of fun playing with his classmates.

Su Taotao and Zhou Linglan arrived at school almost at the same time.

"Mom, I can just pick you up on my way home from get off work. It's so cold, you don't have to go out."

Su Taotao has been very busy recently, and Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang are in charge of picking her up at noon.

If Su Taotao was not available to go home for dinner, Zhou Linglan would deliver it to her when she picked up the dust.

"Chenchen has his last day of school today, so I thought I'd pick him up. I don't have much to do at home anyway. I'm stewing some soup, and we can just stir-fry some vegetables and have dinner when we get home."

Zhou Linglan is a good housewife. After she came, she took care of all the affairs inside and outside the house and kept everything in order. Su Taotao felt much more relaxed.

With a mother-in-law like Zhou Linglan, is there any problem of tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

"Mom~~ Grandma~~ Come and pick me up from school~~"

Zhou Linglan bent down and picked up her little grandson: "Yeah, Chenchen, are you tired from school today?"

Chenchen hugged grandma's neck and shook his head: "It's not tiring, it's fun~~"

Then he turned his head to look at Su Taotao: "Mom, why did you get off work so early today~~"

Su Taotao: "Because..."

"Director Su!"

Su Taotao had just started talking when the assistant who had caught up with her called out, "Slow down, what's the hurry?"

The assistant gasped, "Yes, there's a call from you. The other party's attitude was not very good. I said we were already on holiday and you just left work, and he scolded me, saying he was some big boss and asked me to find you and answer the phone immediately, otherwise he told me not to come to work after the New Year."

Su Taotao raised her eyebrows: "Which leader has such great authority?"

The assistant calmed down and shook his head: "I don't know. I asked him his name, and he said I was not worthy of knowing."

Su Taotao: "Then he is not worthy of me going back to answer his call."

The young assistant was about to cry: "Director Su..."

Su Taotao: "He hasn't hung up yet?"

The assistant nodded: "He said he couldn't hear your voice, so he kept calling."

Su Taotao laughed angrily: "He is quite good at wasting national resources. How can he waste it so much if he doesn't have to pay for the phone himself? Okay, I'll go meet him."

"Chenchen, go back with grandma first. Mom, we can cook when we get home. Fu Zhengtu won't be back so soon today, so we'll eat first and save some for him."

Zhou Linglan nodded: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Every minute of delay would cost the country one minute of phone bills. In order not to waste national resources, Su Taotao walked very fast, and the young assistant even had to jog to keep up.

Back in the office, Su Taotao picked up the phone and said "Hello".

——"Hey, Director Su, what's wrong with you? Mr. Birmingham said that you haven't contacted him yet. Didn't you promise me last time that you would contact him?

I have already transferred the money to you, how can you go back on your word?"

"Who are you?" Su Taotao asked calmly.

The other party almost couldn't catch his breath:

——"I, Wei Hai, Director Wei! Didn't you say that you are interested in any business? What's wrong with you?"

"Oh," Su Taotao said, understandingly, "The one who asked me for a commission before we even started talking about business?"

——"You!" Wei Hai was almost vomiting blood because of her anger, "So are you still going to do this business?"

Su Taotao: "Didn't I tell you at the time? I don't do business with people who don't have a spirit of contract."

——"I have transferred all the payment to you!" Wei Hai was furious.

Su Taotao spoke slowly, wrapping her slender fingers around the phone line:

"I really wonder how you got to be the director with your intelligence? I've already sent you my stuff a long time ago. It's only natural to pay back debts. What? Did you want to shirk your debt?"

——"You! Su Taotao! Don't be so shameless..."

Su Taotao interrupted him: "I have never met someone as shameless as you. Don't call me again in the future. If you call me again, I will write a letter to your unit to complain about you and report you for accepting bribes and kickbacks!"

——"You are simply unreasonable. When did I ever take kickbacks from you?"

Su Taotao: "Director Wei, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it. What you have done will always leave traces.

As for me, I don't like to cause trouble, and I don't like to waste energy on other people's affairs. I always take care of my own little piece of land, and I will never do anything to undermine the walls of socialism.

Let’s part ways amicably. I will pretend I didn’t answer the phone call today.”

After Su Taotao finished speaking, she hung up the phone without caring about the other party's reaction.

The young assistant stood at the door, not daring to breathe.

Su Taotao looked at her and said, "Do you know what to do if you receive a call like this again?"

The assistant nodded woodenly: "Got it, got it."

Su Taotao asked: "Tell me about it."

The assistant stammered, "Let the other party leave his contact number and wait for Director Su to reply to him."

Su Taotao looked at her.

The assistant said, "First, hang up the phone."

Su Taotao nodded: "Very good, the more shameless they are, the less you should pay attention to them.

After the new factory is put into operation, we will meet more diverse types of people.

If that's the case, I'll just be answering the phone all day and won't have anything else to do."

Assistant: "I'm sorry, Director Su, I..."

Su Taotao stood up and walked to the door, patting her on the shoulder: "You don't have to apologize, it's none of your business, don't take the other person's fault on yourself, go back, and have a good New Year."

The young assistant looked at Su Taotao's back with admiration on his face.

…

The day when the family portrait was posted was already New Year's Eve.

Zhou Zheng and Zhou Weining were going back to City S to celebrate the New Year, and they sent the photos over before leaving.

Fu Zhengtu is still struggling on the work front, and is rarely seen all day.

Dongdong and his family have already boarded the train to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Most cities in the south do not have the custom of celebrating New Year's Eve. This is not the case here, and neither is Qinglian Village.

Aunt Zhong and her family are from the north and attach great importance to the New Year's Eve. They started making dumplings at noon and sent over a large plate.

We won’t comment on how good Aunt Zhong is at making other dishes, but her skills in making dumplings are first-rate, and a southerner like Su Taotao can’t compare to her.

Chenchen also likes to eat them very much. For such a big dumpling, Su Taotao is full after eating seven or eight, while the little kid eats ten in one go.

Su Taotao flipped through the photos with satisfaction: "Zhou Zheng's photography skills are very good. When we buy New Year's goods, we will take them to be laminated and then buy a few photo frames to display some of them."

Zhou Linglan touched the photo carefully and couldn't help saying, "It would be great if Grandpa Chenchen was here too."

As he spoke, his eyes were moist.

Chenchen had just finished his dumplings and was running after Baibai to help digest his food. When he heard Zhou Linglan's words, he ran over, picked up a stack of photos, and started flipping through them. He pointed at one of them and said,

"Grandpa is here, inside, inside the lighthouse..."

…

Chapter 165 added a little plot. As a treasure said, a poor family can become rich on the road, so Aunt Zhong added a plot that she put a hundred yuan with Su Taotao for Mo Gong and Mu Mu to use. Because Mo Gong is careless and always loses money, Aunt Zhong will not leave a lot of money in his hands. Mu Mu follows his father and is not as well-funded as Fu Yuanhang. No wonder Aunt Zhong is stingy. Aunt Zhong is stingy, but she is not unreasonable.

11.15 I have something to do temporarily, so this is the only update tonight. I will try to make up for it tomorrow. Good night.

12.1 I'm not in good condition today. Don't wait any longer. Good night.
