After getting married, buying new clothes became an even rarer thing, and people would only go out to have cloth specially cut during the Chinese New Year.
Now we have to mend our clothes for another three years!
"But I think all the wives in our team live like this. Oh, no, except for you, there are very few who love people as much as Captain Lu."
Sister Li was familiar with her and was not afraid of being laughed at by her, so she would just ask directly if she had any questions.
Xu Niannian burst out laughing:
"In fact, part of what I spent was my own royalties. Think about it, do the workers in the city and the teachers in our team have more new clothes? That's because they can make money!"
Mrs. Li thought about it and realized that it was better to make money so that they could buy new clothes and their children would be proud of it.
She worked hard to raise her two sons, and when they were young, they stuck to her every day.
When I grew up and started to be sensible, although I didn't look down on myself, I still expressed envy when I talked about someone in my class whose mother was fashionable and had a job.
Even she herself felt that she should spend less money, after all, it was not her own money.
But in this situation, it is not easy for me to go out to work:
"But here, military dependents have to wait in line to get jobs. It's hard to get a job like sweeping the floor."
Xu Niannian smiled:
"When the greenhouse opens next year, sister-in-law will come over to help."
He added:
"Of course I'm not saying that raising children at home has no merit. It's all very hard work, and every job deserves respect. It's just that maybe not everyone can realize the importance of this job."
Sister Li slapped her thigh:
"I'm good at farming. If you need me, I'll be there anytime."
She also wants to try earning her own money and see what changes will happen at home.
Fortunately, the children are all grown up.
She doesn't have to worry too much.
The next day, Xu Niannian helped her pick out the things she wanted to take and directed Lu Aichen to pack them.
Lu Huaijin took a day off to accompany them.
The last time Xu Niannian went out he encountered danger he was already terrified, so this time he didn’t dare to leave even a step.
When Zhang Liang heard about it, he was determined to follow him no matter what. He was not stupid. He knew that once this man went to the city, he didn't know how long it would take for him to come back.
So I must go this time.
Lu Aicheng was surprised to see Zhang Liang following her at the door:
"Brother Zhang, why are you here? We don't have much to take today."
Zhang Liang looked at Lu Aichen, who was even more beautiful than before, and felt his ears getting hot again. He fanned the air a few times with his hands.
But this mouth is harder than a dead duck:
"Last time...didn't my sister-in-law run into danger when she went out? We can't take it lightly this time!"
Lu Aicheng nodded. That was true, but her brother alone was enough.
When getting in the car, because Xu Niannian was prone to motion sickness, she sat in the passenger seat.
Zhang Liang watched Xu Niannian get on the passenger seat and knew that his chance to show his affection had come, so he walked a little unsteadily.
A light cough shows seriousness.
Quickly open the rear door:
"Come in, this car is cool."
Lu Aicheng looked down at her gloved hands and Zhang Liang's slightly red hands.
It seems that I am more resistant to cold?
But the door had already been opened for her, so she went straight in:
"Thank you, Brother Zhang."
Looking at Lu Aicheng's smiling face, Zhang Liang walked to the other side, opened the door himself and sat down.
This time, Lu Aicheng not only found that his hands were red, but his face was also red.
"Is Brother Zhang hot?"
Zhang Liang unbuttoned the two buttons on his military coat immediately after hearing this:
"It's a little hot."
How can he not be excited when the person he likes is right next to him!
Xu Niannian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard the conversation between the two elementary school kids and tried hard not to laugh.
Along the way, Zhang Liang's back was straight with tension.
It would have been too conspicuous for the jeep to drive into the food factory, so Lu Huaijin stopped outside the factory.
The food factory is large and formal, divided into different departments.
Lu Aicheng nervously pulled her sister-in-law's hand.
Xu Niannian patted her hands:
"Don't worry, I'll stay here for two more days with you. I'll leave after you get familiar with me."
It's not enough to just give the recipe, she also has to teach it to the master chef in the factory, which will take at least one or two days.
Lu Aicheng finally felt relieved:
"Sister-in-law, you are so nice, better than my brother."
Zhang Liang had already opened the trunk and directly put Lu Aichen's package on his back.
In order to show his respect to them, Master Cao brought two apprentices to wait at the door early in the morning.
I didn't expect that the other party would bring two men with him in such a grand manner.
Master Cao first took people to the girls' dormitory and gave Xu Niannian two keys:
"Go to the dormitory and put your things down first."
Xu Niannian looked at the two rooms. Both were double rooms, and there was an empty seat in each of them.
The room is simple, with a bed above and a desk below, but it looks clean.
After a quick cleanup, she put the bedding on the bed, locked up everything else, and went downstairs.
When I walked downstairs, I saw Zhang Liang already chatting with Master Cao, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing someone coming down, Lu Huaijin immediately stepped forward:
"Are you tired?"
Xu Niannian shook her head.
Men are not allowed to go to the girls’ dormitory. Just now, Lu Huaijin gave fifty cents to the auntie in the dormitory and asked her to help Xu Niannian carry the luggage upstairs.
The old lady was so happy. Most people would not be willing to spend fifty cents to move such a short distance.
After everyone came down, Master Cao arranged an apprentice:
"Go and take Xiao Cheng to report to the logistics department."
Then he said to Xu Niannian:
"Follow me to the dim sum section."
Zhang Liang looked at the young apprentice arranged by Master Cao, who was only about twenty years old, and immediately followed Lu Aicheng and walked with her.
Let the little apprentice go to the front.
Lu Aicheng whispered to Zhang Liang:
"Isn't Brother Zhang here to protect my sister-in-law?"
"We've already entered the factory, and Lu Huaijin is all we need. You're unfamiliar with the place, so I'll give you some courage."
Lu Aicheng thought this was the case.
After a while, they arrived at the logistics department. The young apprentice took the person directly to the director as instructed before. Zhang Liang stood at the door of the office but did not go in.
When the young apprentice opened the door, he saw a middle-aged woman chatting with the director inside.
Seeing Lu Aicheng coming, he didn't leave and looked her up and down:
"Are you the new one?"
Lu Aicheng was a little nervous when she met her superiors when she first entered the workplace. But when she heard the question, she nodded immediately:
"Hello, my name is Lu Aicheng."
The middle-aged woman didn't reply, and Lu Aicheng felt her heart tighten.
