Chapter 142: Chatterbox
"Then I won't be polite. It's getting late, and we have to deliver the finished products to town tomorrow. Let's get busy! Aunts, is it okay for you to come to work today?" Li Meng said to the aunts in a playful manner.
"Li Zhiqing, you make the arrangements! We will all listen to you." Aunt Lu, who was in the lead, answered Li Meng's words in a loud voice, and the other aunts all nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the aunts were so motivated, Li Meng began to assign work. At the beginning, they must be led by people who are familiar with the work. Li Meng asked Wu Ruirui, Liu Huan, and Aunt Ma to help the six aunts get familiar with the work.
In fact, these are all very simple things and you will be able to do them after watching them once. The main thing is to be careful. Cleanliness and hygiene are the most important things, so it would be better to have someone familiar with the work guide you at the beginning.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Zhou Hui and Li Laidi, who were not used, were still standing at the kitchen door, staring at each other with eyes wide open!
"Sister Meng, where is my work? What should I do?" Zhou Hui scratched his head in confusion.
"Yeah, and me too. I'm free too." Li Laidi was also confused. He was used to being busy every day and felt uncomfortable when he was not busy!
"Why are you two in such a hurry? If I don't ask you to work, there must be something more important for you to do, right?" Li Meng said with a smile.
"Hurry up and tell us! Sister Meng, don't keep us in suspense!" Zhou Hui looked anxious!
"We have to deliver goods to the town every day from now on, and we can't do without our own car. Zhou Hui, take some money and go to the surrounding villages to see who has a bullock cart for sale. Buy both the cart and the bullock. Go to a few more villages to see if the price is a little higher!"
"Leave it to me. I'll go now. Just wait for my good news!" Zhou Hui rushed out anxiously after hearing Li Meng finish the task!
"Money! I haven't given you the money yet! Why are you running!" Li Meng stopped Zhou Hui who was about to run away in time, took out the money in his pocket and handed it to Zhou Hui!
"Remember to bargain. Ask about the price first. Don't buy it at a high price. Go to a few more villages. If you don't have an ox cart, a donkey cart will do!" Li Laidi said loudly with a look of distrust on his face towards Zhou Hui.
"I got it. Sister Lai, just wait for my good news!" After saying that, Zhou Hui ran away.
"Sister Lai Di, I've asked the team leader to find someone to clean up my new processing workshop. I want you to help me keep an eye on it. I took the time to draw a layout diagram last night. You can help me arrange it according to it. You are more careful. I will feel at ease only if I leave this to you, hehe."
After Li Meng finished speaking, he handed over a simple layout drawing. Li Laidi took it and looked at it horizontally and vertically. The drawing on it was very simple and he could basically understand its meaning at a glance.
"Okay, then leave this matter to me. I will definitely do it for you and keep it tidy!" Li Laidi said confidently.
"Sister Lai, I definitely trust you to do the job. Bring two packs of cigarettes and scented tea and give cigarettes to the workers. Boil some water to make tea. I see the stove in the kitchen over there can be used after a bit of cleaning. Bring a pot and boil some water for the workers to make tea," Li Meng instructed.
"It's you who are good at doing things! Okay, I got it. Don't worry, the workers will definitely do a good job. I'll go over and take a look. I'll tell you as soon as there's anything!"
After the two of them finished talking, Li Laidi took the things and went to the processing plant to supervise the work.
Under the guidance, the people in the yard were busy picking beans and grinding beans. The small yard looked thriving. Li Meng felt a sense of accomplishment and quickly joined the work.
Pei Yu here had just finished training and was taking a mechanical maintenance class in the army. He listened very carefully, taking notes while listening to the instructor's lecture.
Xie Lei quietly poked Pei Yu's back with a pen and whispered, "Brother Yu, why hasn't your sister-in-law sent you the package yet? Where's the rabbit leg you promised me last time? When will you give it to me?"
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, say something!" Xie Lei, unwilling to give up, was still poking Pei Yu with his pen.
"Xie Lei! What are you talking about! Why don't you come up and tell me!" Before Xie Lei could wait for Pei Yu's response, he was called by the instructor standing in front of the blackboard!
"If you don't want to listen, just get out and don't disturb others from studying! Do you hear me?" The instructor's loud voice rang out again!
Xie Lei could only lower his head and endure the scolding obediently, not daring to say a word. He didn't dare to argue with the instructor. There was another 5-kilometer weight-bearing training next. Who would dare to do that?
After waiting for a long time for the get out of class to end, Xie Lei finally got the chance to talk and quickly went forward to sit opposite Pei Yu.
"Brother Yu, you heard what I said! When will your sister-in-law send you the package? Is your relationship broken? Did you make her angry? Apologize quickly! Don't delay my rabbit leg!"
"Are you done yet? Can you shut your mouth?" Pei Yu didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He quickly collected the notes and books on the table, put them into a cloth bag, turned around and walked out of the classroom without even looking back!
"Hey! Brother Yu, wait for me! Why are you running so fast? Was what I said really right? Your relationship with your sister-in-law has broken down?" Xie Lei yelled, grabbed his books and chased Pei Yu out of the classroom.
Pei Yu didn't care that much at first, but after hearing what Xie Lei said, he felt sad. His girlfriend really hadn't written to him for a long time, and he didn't know whether the letter he sent had arrived in the past few days.
"Brother Yu, I asked you to wait for me, but you didn't. What's wrong? Are you really having a conflict with my sister-in-law?" Xie Lei said rudely.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" Pei Yu took the lunch box and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get food. He really didn't want to bother with this chattering boy!
Several people from Huanglong Village have also started to eat lunch. The results of this morning are quite good. The aunts have done a good job. Li Meng has seen it all. The people that Aunt Ma found are very good!
"Mengmeng! From now on, when you are busy, I will cook for you. Seeing that you are so busy, I will take care of small things like cooking," said Aunt Ma while serving rice to Li Meng!
"Haha, Aunt Ma, I can tell that you are a good cook. We would be in for a real treat if you cooked for us!" Wu Ruirui quickly flattered her.
"Hey! If you don't mind, I'll cook for you. People have to eat at a certain time. There's a saying that goes, 'Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry! Right!"
When several people heard what Aunt Ma said, they all laughed. They didn't expect that Aunt Ma could speak in such a way that was so interesting!
