Zhang Weifang packed the remaining cloth into a sack and returned to Haojia Village with Zhang Jiuyi.
There are not many people in the village, only a few dozen households and more than a hundred people, young and old.
Zhang Weifang put the cloth in the brigade office, and the villagers rushed to exchange the cloth.
The people in the village have always been self-sufficient and rarely go out of the mountains, so they are in great need of these cloths.
Zhang Weifang secretly exchanged some brown sugar in the system mall, which also became a hot commodity among the villagers.
This time, the goods Zhang Weifang and his team received included not only cornmeal, but also some red dates, walnuts, dried pears, dried apricots, and some furs, all of which were scarce supplies.
Both parties were very satisfied with the exchange and agreed to exchange items again next year.
Zhang Weifang asked someone to exchange a pair of rabbit leather gloves and a pair of short boots for her. They were very soft and comfortable to wear.
Zhang Weifang was very happy. He felt that he had made the right decision to come this time. He had not expected that the people in the mountains were so wealthy.
Zhang Jiuyi exchanged two hens and prepared to take them home to lay eggs. Zhang Weifang also exchanged two each for her parents' and husband's families.
There is a famine in the country now, and people outside cannot get enough to eat, so no one raises chickens. Almost every household in the mountains raises chickens. These chickens go to the mountains to dig for food every day and do not need to be specially raised, which is very worry-free.
After exchanging things, everyone was eager to go home. Several people returned with full loads and were in a good mood.
The mule cart entered the city and drove directly to the entrance of the textile factory. The security personnel at the entrance quickly called Li Hongru over.
Li Hongru felt extremely happy when he saw his relatives returning home exhausted from the journey.
Soon, the mule cart rushed to the warehouse of the logistics department. Li Hongru had already issued the approval slip, and the warehouse manager put the grain directly into the warehouse after checking it.
This time, the old cloths were exchanged for more than 2,500 kilograms of food. The logistics department was overjoyed and everyone expressed their gratitude to Li Hongru.
The logistics director had a cheerful face, and when he saw Li Hongru, his eyes sparkled:
"Xiao Li, you're really young and promising. Would you like to work in our logistics department? We'll give you a raise in salary and benefits."
Li Hongru was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be noticed by the logistics department.
But before the matter was concluded, he still answered cautiously:
"Thank you, Minister Liu. I will follow your instructions."
Minister Liu was overjoyed after hearing this. This meant that he agreed, and he understood.
Minister Liu happily went back to submit his transfer report.
At this time, Li Hongru had been brought to the factory director's office by Ling Tianming, who also had a smile on his face:
"Xiao Li, you've really made a great contribution this time. Congratulations."
"Thank you for your trust, Director. If you hadn't given me the opportunity, everything would have been in vain."
"Haha, it's a good thing for young people to make progress. The factory will fully support them." Ling Tianming said, then changed the subject:
"Xiao Li, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Hongru blurted out without thinking:
"Work hard and get promoted soon."
Ling Tianming looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him and felt relieved. He took off his glasses and looked directly at Li Hongru:
"Xiao Li, I want to transfer you to the factory secretariat. Are you willing?"
Li Hongru's pupils shrank nervously, afraid that he had heard it wrong, and he stared at Ling Tianming intently.
"Haha, you heard me right. I want to transfer you over here. Do you have the confidence?"
"I have it!" Li Hongru shouted these two words loudly, full of confidence.
"Very good, go back and wait for notification!"
Li Hongru exchanged for food and became famous again. This time, except for Ma Changzheng who said congratulations, everyone else ignored him and didn't even bother to put on a show.
Li Hongru didn't care. He was about to be transferred to the secretariat anyway, and these people were just passing clouds to him.
Li Hongru packed up his things and left work. He was so excited that he wanted to sing a song and dance.
The three remaining people in the office gnashed their teeth, and Du Yanan cursed directly:
"You're becoming more and more arrogant. Aren't you afraid of falling from the sky one day?"
Zhang Weifang was cooking for her relatives at home at the time. After unloading the car, she took her relatives back home to let them have a rest and get to know the place.
After a week of traveling, no one had a good meal. This time, Zhang Weifang made hand-rolled noodles with more white flour and less corn flour, so that everyone could eat and drink well.
There was sauerkraut, potato slices and臊子, and each person was served with a boiled egg. There were also two plates of pickles, a plate of pickled radish, and a plate of fried peanuts on the table.
There is a square table in Zhang Weifang's room, and everyone can sit at the table to eat, which is very convenient.
The square table was bought by Zhang Weifang in the system mall. It is a maroon dining table that can be used for eating and writing.
The villagers usually eat with bowls in their hands and rarely use tables. Even if there are tables, they are low floor tables. Zhang Weifang is not used to this, so she bought one that suits her.
White flour noodles with eggs and peanuts are a delicious meal that is not always available during Chinese New Year. The four grown men each ate two large bowls, and Li Hongru also ate a lot after he came back.
After dinner, Zhang Weifang washed the dishes while Li Hongru chatted with relatives and expressed his gratitude.
Not long after, everyone said goodbye one after another. They mainly came to see the situation at Li Hongru's home. They found that it was better than they had imagined, so everyone felt relieved.
Before leaving, Li Hongru gave each person ten yuan, a few pieces of cloth, and a pound of red dates.
The gifts were thoughtful and everyone felt very comfortable, thinking that the days of running around were worth it.
Zhang Weifang also asked his uncle to bring some things to her mother's home, but it was freezing cold, so she was too lazy to make a trip.
After the guests left, Li Hongru also went to work. Zhang Weifang was so tired that his back and waist ached and he wanted to take a shower and have a good sleep.
There is not enough hot water at home, so she has to boil water again. Zhang Weifang is very annoyed. She now misses the water heater and tap water very much.
Although there is a well in her yard, she is afraid every time she draws water, for fear that she might accidentally fall into the well, so usually it is the men in her family who draw water.
Zhang Weifang thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't want to move, so she directly asked the Yue Lao system:
"Qiqi, can you help me configure a bathroom with a shower room?"
"Host, yes, I can expand the previous folding space and equip it with a washbasin, dressing mirror, shower, toilet, and fully automatic washing machine. It will cost 250 points in total. Hot water will be available 24 hours a day, which is very convenient. Do you want to buy it?"
When Zhang Weifang heard that it would cost 250 points, his distressed face twisted for a moment. Finally, he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and said loudly:
"I bought it. Money is a bastard. If it's gone, I'll make more."
Ten seconds later, a brand new bathroom appeared in the folding space.
