Chapter 32 Poor Liu Qingqing
To be honest, the food at Yiliang Station looks better than those at other places.
The main thing is that they are willing to use a lot of oil, so every dish looks greasy.
This is also the reason why many employees are willing to spend money to get food in the cafeteria and eat it at home.
It's rich in oil and cheap. It's more cost-effective than buying groceries and cooking them yourself.
However, Liu Qingqing was disgusted by such greasy dishes. She ate slowly and only took a few bites of the vegetables, leaving only the dry steamed buns.
"Eat some more food." Song Jinglin pushed the lunch box towards her.
"No, I'm full."
Liu Qingqing complained in her heart that even state-owned restaurants didn't dare to use so much oil when cooking, which really highlighted the advantage of the grain station.
However, her actions looked different to those who cared.
"This little Liu is not in a clear mind. She works hard to earn some money but is reluctant to spend it on food and drink. She spends it all on her man. She even cooks a good meal for him when he comes home and doesn't eat it herself." Sister Li pulled Fu Meili from the finance office's arm out of the cafeteria and started complaining.
"I really didn't see Xiao Liu like this."
"Meili, you better listen to my elder sister's advice. When you're looking for a partner, don't look for someone who doesn't care about others. And don't be stupid like Xiaoliu, who is so stingy with herself and keeps putting herself on men."
Fu Meili nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Li, I'm not that stupid."
She has both good looks and a good background, so there are many good candidates lining up for her to choose.
But this is also a wake-up call. When looking for a partner, you can't just look at the person's appearance.
Look at this guy in the room. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is well off, but he doesn't love his wife. He is even stingy with her food and drink. This is not acceptable.
She had to keep her eyes open.
"Xiao Liu is quite pitiful too."
Sister Li nodded. "He's from the village, and his conditions aren't great, so he's had to work hard and tighten his belt. But Xiao Liu is okay. He's never talkative, works hard, and is a bit honest. It's not bad to interact with such a person."
"That's right." Fu Meili nodded absentmindedly.
There's no need to bother with such people.
Besides, she would only tear up one of her forms occasionally, and they would quickly replace it.
Boring.
Liu Qingqing is closest to Sister Li, and usually Sister Li pushes some work to her.
She pretended to be good in front of Sister Li, and always revealed her "life" with honest words.
This caused Sister Li to feel that "bullying others" was a serious sin.
After this period of ideological indoctrination, Sister Li observed that Liu Qingqing was a very good person.
People like them can't bully honest people.
Watching Fu Meili leave, she felt that she had done a great deed.

While eating, Liu Qingqing told Song Jinglin about the day off.
After taking the small cloth bag that Liu Qingqing had packed, the two of them headed towards Taoshan Village.
Although he remained calm on the surface when his wife suddenly wanted to come home, his heart was already in turmoil.
I thought for a moment about what he should say when we were alone at night.
Then I thought that the house was poorly built and had no sound insulation at all, so it should be renovated.
The more nervous I was, the faster I walked.
Liu Qingqing glanced at the person next to her who was walking faster and faster with her head down. This must be because she took too many drugs.
Otherwise, few women could keep up.
"What are you thinking about?" It was dark all the way, and the people next to her didn't look good either. She felt uncomfortable without any sound.
"The house needs to be renovated." When asked by Liu Qingqing, Song Jinglin blurted out.
After he finished speaking, he realized it, pursed his lips, and cursed himself in his heart.
"Huh?" Want to renovate the house? Liu Qingqing's mind was full of questions: "Didn't the house just get renovated a few years ago?"
Every house in the village has to be renovated every ten or eight years. If there are any minor problems such as leaks or damage, you can just go up and fix it yourself.
The Song family's house was renovated before Liu Qingqing got married. At that time, the Song family had more and more children, so the old couple gave the two rooms of the Song family to the old lady. They then built two more rooms, one for the old couple and one for their second son's wedding.
Song Jinglin had driven out all the mess in his mind at this moment, and replied calmly: "Yeah, I forgot."
Liu Qingqing curled her lips and said, "Haven't we been staying here for several days?"
It's obvious that the answer is not sincere.
We must live together from now on, so we can’t spoil him: “Then it’s not that you have a bad memory, it’s probably that your eyesight is not good.”
Song Jinglin turned his head to look at her.
She blinked, smiled, and turned back to stare at the road ahead.
If you don't pay attention to the road conditions, you might trip.
Song Jinglin was a little dazed. What she said just now seemed to be a sarcasm towards him, and he thought she was angry.
Looking at it this way, he doesn't look angry.
He thought for a while but still didn't say anything. How could he explain this? He couldn't say those difficult thoughts to her in front of her.
Let’s change the subject.
"How long can we keep working at the grain station?"
Liu Qingqing counted on her fingers: "There are only about thirty days left."
Song Jinglin nodded: "I think the place you live in is not very good. I will ask and find a place for you tomorrow."
The food in the cafeteria is not bad, and he observed that it was not too tiring. It made people look pale, so the only option left was to stay there.
Liu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise: "Where is the place?"
"Let me look for it first."
She nodded vigorously, thinking that it might be dark and she wouldn't be able to see it. "Okay, then you look for it, maybe you can find it."
It is impossible to become a regular employee, but that doesn't stop her from saying so.
She also thought about getting a place to live, which would be better than the current situation.
However, the 1970s was a planned economy, and houses were allocated under the system, and private transactions were not allowed.
Even if she had money, it would be useless.
Seeing her so excited about this, Song Jinglin couldn't help but smile.
