"It's no problem. Sister-in-law will buy it for you. Buy as much as you want, enough!" Qin Man pinched her face.
But Jiang Lian still felt that she had suffered a great loss.
After a while, Xiao Cheng actually came back with a smile on his face, a very sunny type.
He has a short buzz cut and looks like the captain of a college basketball team. He is also tall, about 1.80 meters.
"Sister Peng asked me to bring you some meat dumplings. She just remembered it when she left the building, so she asked me to buy it and bring it to you!"
Xiao Cheng raised the warm and fragrant meat bun in his hand.
In his other hand, he was holding a bottle of soda in a glass bottle.
Jiang Lian's mood immediately became joyful. She took the meat bun easily and gave one to Qin Man and Meng Meng respectively.
There is a lot of meat inside, and it is very satisfying in one bite. ..
"Second sister-in-law, I remember what you said, the only thing you can't miss is delicious food!"
"You're such a foodie. You eat snacks like this every day. Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Qin Man smiled helplessly.
"No way, I'm so thin, it doesn't matter if I gain some weight. I'll just eat less when I feel like I've had enough!"
Jiang Lian still spoke with confidence, fortunately she was optimistic.
She was not short, about 1.63 meters tall. When she first came, she weighed only 90 kilograms, which was indeed too thin. During this period of time, she followed Qin Man to work, eating steamed buns and fried dough sticks every morning, two meat dishes and one vegetable fast food for lunch, and occasionally ate ramen at night. During the holidays, she would stay in her second brother's rented house and eat and drink for free. She gained five kilograms in a short time.
However, with her height, it would be fine for her to gain another five kilograms to reach the standard weight, which would make her more well-proportioned.
"Being able to eat is a blessing. When you are full, you won't miss home. Look, I gain weight even if I drink a little water. I am out here alone, so I have nothing to miss for my son!"
Sister Mengmeng envies those who are willing to eat as much as they want.
She is a divorcee and has to raise a child by herself. Gaining weight easily is one reason, but the main reason is that she has to raise the child. Her mother helps to take care of the child. She sets aside some living expenses from her salary every month and sends the rest back home.
So, generally speaking, Qin Man would treat her to snacks, such as pancakes, from time to time. Qin Man could understand her, she was easy to get along with, and her situation was that, it was not easy for women to understand each other, so even if she didn't reciprocate, no one would say anything to her.
However, Sister Mengmeng will still take the initiative to treat someone once every time after receiving her salary. This is how people get along with each other. Everyone has a sense of propriety. Only when friends have a good sense of propriety can they feel comfortable with each other.
"I'll treat you to a soda. You've worked hard coming with me just now!" Jiang Lian was halfway through her meal when Xiao Cheng handed her a Coke with the lid already opened and a straw inserted inside.
Jiang Lian was just about to say something to refuse, saying that there was no reward without merit, but who knew that Xiao Cheng just waved his hand and left.
"No thanks, I'm leaving!"
No, where did he get the confidence to think Jiang Lian wanted to thank him?
"No, I..."
In the time it took to say two sentences, the person had already walked far away. The long legs really came in handy.
"Oh, little girl, you're in a good situation. Someone even buys soda for you!" Sister Mengmeng joked in real time, being at the forefront of the gossip.
"Sister Mengmeng, what are you talking about? It's the first day I met him and we haven't even said a few words!" Jiang Lian was so embarrassed.
"Also, I remember that this bottle seems to be returned!"
Qin Man had invited her to drink this soda several times before, and every time she finished it, she had to recycle the bottle.
If you recycle it, you will get a refund for the bottle.
Moreover, the place where the bottles are collected is quite far away, and she will have to go there specially to deliver a bottle. Isn't that annoying?
That would be fine, Jiang Lian felt that this boy was too strong. He didn't even ask if the other person was willing, but just forced it on you, and in the end he said, "You're welcome."
"Let's take a break at noon and then go back. I'll go with you!" Qin Man took the initiative to say.
"Don't you like this drink? I mean well of you!"
"I know, let's go have some sliced noodles for lunch!"
Jiang Lian is also a carefree person. Her emotions come and go quickly. Even while eating, she has already started thinking about what to eat for lunch.
A real foodie.
During the lunch break, the aunt and sister-in-law took the bottles to return the money, planning to return it to Xiao Cheng the next time he came.
A drink of this soda costs 20 cents, and you can get 10 cents back if you return the bottle.
This bottle will be reused. Even in later generations, this marketing method has always existed. Those soy milk, cola soda and glass bottles will be recycled.
Following Jiang Lian's advice, I went to eat knife-cut noodles at noon, but ran into an acquaintance again at the door.
This person is Wu Li, who was fired by Manager Peng last year for being too clever.
The feud between the two of them had grown long and neither of them looked very happy when they met each other.
Wu Li rolled her eyes at her and lined up in front of them to order food.
"Give me a bowl of sliced noodles with some meat and a poached egg!"
After she ordered, she snorted at the two of them with disdain.
That look was so artificial, Qin Man thought, how unlucky it was that I had to meet her just for a meal.
I deliberately found a place far away from her so that I wouldn't have to see her and be bothered.
On the way back, the three of them walked one after the other, and Qin Man saw with her own eyes that they walked into Sanyuan's store opposite.
"So she works there now! No wonder I run into her even when I'm having dinner!"
Qin Man also rolled her eyes. This woman not only enriched herself, but also liked to take commissions and was lazy. It was bad luck to hire her as an employee. I don't know how many people will be squeezed out.
"Second sister-in-law, who is she? It seems like you two are not getting along!"
Jiang Lian watched along the way and felt that the woman was obviously not a kind person.
"No, she used to work in our store, but she liked to bully new employees and was lazy. Most importantly, she liked to change commission lists and change other people's commissions to her own. Later, Manager Peng caught her and fired her!"
"There are people like this? This is too blatant!" Jiang Lian sighed.
"There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, so when you go out, you should keep your eyes open and be more careful, because if you are not careful, others may think you are easy to bully and let you suffer in secret!
No matter where you work, you are competitive. We are doing well now. Sister Mengmeng and we get along well!"
When everyone has business, they usually share it equally. Qin Man won't deliberately try to grab it. Sometimes she will even take the initiative to give it up.
Those who cannot live in drought should die of drought, and those who cannot live in floods should die of floods. If you take all the credit for yourself, it will be difficult for others not to have opinions.
