End of August.
A total of ten of Xie Zhengchuan's comrades came to Shanghe Village. Pang Wei and Zhang Lai also happened to know some of them. Su Li thought that Xie Zhengchuan might not have seen them for a long time, so she simply cooked two tables of meals at home to make them all happy.
The garment factory's factory building is relatively large. Currently, there are two factory buildings, and another one is used as a meeting room and a study place for workers. During this period, Tao Ren and his team are also building the dormitory first. After it is built, it can be dried and lived in.
There are still four empty rooms in the men's dormitory, and they have been drying for half a month. After these people go to work, Su Li wants to help Tao Ren and others build the factory first. She was not in a hurry originally, but it is not possible now, and the furniture factory in the county also needs to be cleaned up.
That day, Xia Xiuzhi, Pan Yumei, and Su Li were all busy in the kitchen. The three of them prepared two large tables of food and there was also a small table for the children to eat. Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang served the dishes and arranged the chopsticks together.
Su Li wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, there are three boxes of juice under the big table in the main room. After dinner, ask brother and brother to bring one box home each and give it to the children. It was sent by Mr. Chen from the provincial capital."
Su Li said calmly, of course it wasn't Mr. Chen, she took it from the space herself.
Moreover, Pan Yumei and Xia Xiuzhi seldom asked about business matters; they usually only took care of matters at the garment factory.
"Okay, after dinner, I'll ask your eldest brother to move a box."
Now, no matter what Su Li asked them to give, they would not refuse. Their family conditions had improved, and this month each of them would receive a salary of 120 yuan. No one would believe it if they told others about it. Even Pan Yumei almost couldn't sleep all night when she got her salary and went home.
Think about a year ago, I was sick in bed and thought I was going to die. I never thought that today would be a good day.
However, no matter what their younger siblings give them, they will accept it. Anyway, they will focus their attention on the third brother's children.
"Then sister-in-law, please help the children put down their cups. I'll go get two bottles of juice so that the children can drink regularly."
Xia Xiuzhi put down her rolled-up sleeves, walked to the stroller nearby, and picked up Ping An.
"Of course I don't like it. These little ones can't even walk when they see delicious food. Look at what I made for them today: fried chicken legs, big chicken chops, milk tea, fried bananas, candied apples, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised pork, etc. There are so many dishes. They will be so happy when they come over later that they will jump for joy."
"Haha, yes. Xiaodong and Laifu had eaten it once before. I thought about it for a long time and pestered me to make it. I did make it once, but didn't my sister-in-law say that I couldn't eat too much? So I didn't dare to make it again. I'm going to satisfy my craving this time."
"Isn't it? Xiaoqin and Xiaofang always want to eat spicy noodles. Oh, how would I know where to buy those seasonings? I just happened to make a pot of it today. I won't serve it to them yet. I'll serve the spicy noodles to them when they come, so that they can all be happy."
"yes!"
Su Li just took four bottles of wine and gave them to Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang. Anyway, there was nothing to do today, and Xie Zhengchuan was also resting today. Pang Wei and Zhang Lai in the dormitory had also been arranged, so it was okay even if he got drunk.
As for Su Li and the others, they also set up a small table. Su Li took a pot of fruit wine. This stuff is just for tasting, it is not intoxicating, and it is okay to drink a little, and it is slightly sweet.
After cleaning up here, we waited for Xie Zhengchuan and his men to come over. Not long after, the sound of a tractor was heard at the door.
Pang Wei and Zhang Lai have now learned to drive a tractor, especially Zhang Lai, who is now the only one who delivers goods.
Xie Zhengchuan also told her that the people who came today had all seen blood and been on the battlefield. To be honest, Su Li was very satisfied. After all, she knew that batches of rich people would be born under the market economy, and there would inevitably be obstacles.
The goods must be delivered, but she cares more about the safety of people. Some of them are more skilled, but a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and nothing is more important than life. This is what Su Li especially emphasized to Xie Zhengchuan.
Xie Zhengchuan was so moved at that time that he held her in his arms and squeezed her into a ball.
After the tractor was turned off, Xie Yu and his whole family came to greet people at the door.
Ten adults followed a half-grown boy. Xie Zhengchuan opened the iron door of the tractor and the people on the tractor began to jump off one by one.
Someone wanted to pull the snakeskin bag luggage on the car, but was stopped by Xie Zhengchuan.
"Don't take it yet. After dinner, take your luggage and go to the factory dormitory."
"Hey, ok, thanks, captain." The man rubbed his hands stiffly.
Xie Yu knocked the pipe in his hand against the wall and said, "Everyone must be tired. Come into the house, wash your hands, and drink some tea. The food is ready. Hehehe..."
Everyone looked at Xie Zhengchuan, and Xie Zhengchuan quickly accepted it and said, "This is my father, this is my eldest brother and his wife, my second brother and his wife, this is my wife, my mother-in-law and my mother, these are all children in our family."
Everyone followed suit and called out, "Uncle, Auntie, Brother, Sister-in-law..."
Shouted around.
Su Li looked at them and found that these people were no different from Pang Wei and Zhang Lai when they first arrived. Some of them were even older and looked like they had been through a lot.
But Su Li didn't say anything and entertained them warmly.
Pang Wei and Zhang Lai were already very familiar with Xie Zhengchuan's family. They went to the well and helped everyone fetch water.
Zhang Lai held up the wash basin and said, "Hurry up and wash yourself. You must be exhausted after sitting in the car for a whole day and a night!"
"How can that be possible? Why should I be tired? It's not like we're fighting a war. It's just sitting in a car. How can I be tired?"
"Isn't it? We never complained about the hardship during the military training before, so why is this so hard?"
Pang Wei handed over the soap, "Wash quickly and drink some water first. The sisters-in-law have prepared the meal. Let's eat first and talk later."
"Hey, I said we can just make do with a bite. How can we go to Captain Xie's house to eat? Food is so precious. How much food will it take for so many of us to eat?"
"Yeah, I just said that if Captain Xie doesn't agree, then forget it, but why are you two still silent?"
Pang Wei poured the water and said, "You don't know, the sisters-in-law have been busy since early morning. If you don't eat, their work will be in vain. Besides, the meals cooked by the sisters-in-law are delicious."
"You little brat, do you know how precious food is now? Even in our village, the crops this year don't look good. I don't know how much food we'll get during the autumn harvest. I'm afraid many people will go hungry again."
"It's the same in our village! We are so worried!"
Everyone washed another basin of water, and Zhang said, "Don't worry, we will work hard in the garment factory and try to make more money, so that our family can live better. Besides, my sister-in-law's garment factory is doing very well, and she will not treat us badly."
"That's right. When Captain Xie asked me to come here, I thought that since I was disliked at home, I might be able to have a full meal if I followed Captain Xie. After all, Captain Xie would not lie to me. Look at my work clothes, they are made of such good material. I also have new beddings, a new dormitory to live in, and a salary to get paid. My life now is like a dream." Pang Wei said with emotion.
Everyone looked at the two people and said that they were so good, and they also yearned for them very much in their hearts.
Just then, Xie Zhengchuan came over to call them to eat, so they hurried over. Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang helped pass water, but everyone held the water cup in their hands and looked straight at the dining table.
Look at what is all there, big white flour buns, braised pork, steamed fish, pork belly stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli, three fresh vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber with garlic, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat with peppers, and a big pot of braised meat. Su Li cut the braised meat into pieces and mixed it with chili oil and garlic juice. It is very fragrant and you can almost swallow your tongue after taking a bite.
There was also a large bowl of loofah and egg soup with a few drops of sesame oil, which also smelled delicious.
Everyone stared at the boss, my goodness, how come the food in Captain Xie's house is so good? They turned to look at Pang Wei and Zhang Lai, there was no shock in their eyes, instead they just looked so greedy that they were about to drool.
Everyone understood what Pang Wei and Zhang Lai said. Captain Xie's family's clothing factory was really prosperous. The other adults could tolerate it, but the half-grown boy kept swallowing his saliva. It seemed that he was starving.
Seeing this, Xie's mother couldn't bear it and hurriedly arranged for everyone to sit down.
"Hurry up and sit down and eat. If you have anything to say, wait until you are full. Your sister-in-law has prepared two kilograms of white wine for you. You and your Captain Xie haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a good time to drink some and relieve your fatigue."
"Hey, thank you, Auntie. Please sit down."
"Auntie, please sit down."
