Chapter 96 Are You Moved?
Chang Ying looked down at her clothes. She was wearing a black hooded jacket on top and jeans on the bottom. The sneakers on her feet looked only 50% new. Yes, this was how she dressed as usual.
Chang Ying smiled. Yes, no money to buy clothes? Since she started working, she has been living and eating at home, but the money she spends is basically her salary. She is just like her father's clerk, with an ordinary salary. How much good clothes can she afford?
Zheng Yuehong was good at pretending, and she would often say with concern at the dinner table, "Xiaoying, tell auntie if you need anything, and I will buy it for you."
It turned out that Chang Ying was too shy to say anything, so she just said "I have nothing to lack", and that was all.
When she went out to play in the past, some people laughed at her privately, saying that she was the rich girl who looked the least like a rich lady.
Thinking of Cui Changjia whom he met last night, Chang Yuanliang felt more and more displeased with Chang Ying.
"If you have something to say, just tell me."
"You and Jiajia are close, so if there is anything happening with her, please let me know immediately."
Chang Ying smiled.
"Chang Ying, what's your attitude!"
"Didn't you forbid me to have any contact with her?"
Chang Ying's words were sarcastic, which annoyed Chang Yuanliang. Thinking of what happened before, Chang Yuanliang frowned and said, "I didn't ask you to stop communicating with me. I just wanted you to know what to say and not to say what you shouldn't say!"
"Then I'd better not get along with you, so as not to upset you. That's it. I have to go to work."
After saying this, Chang Ying turned around and left.
Zheng Yuehong walked out from behind Chang Yuanliang and called out, "Xiaoying, have breakfast before you leave."
Chang Ying didn't say anything and just walked out the door without stopping.
Zheng Yuehong sighed helplessly, "This child still has the same temper after so many years."
Chang Yuanliang pretended not to hear her words, "Chang Ying has grown up, buy her some decent clothes, look at how she dresses up!"
Zheng Yuehong felt aggrieved, "I just bought her a scarf from a certain Baoli brand two days ago, but she didn't even wear it."
Chang Yuanliang said nothing and turned and went into the house.
Zheng Yuehong looked at Chang Ying's figure going away, and a sneer flashed across her eyes. Buy it for her? What a joke, how can she spend the money her husband earns?
It’s better to find a husband for her as soon as possible so that she doesn’t have to look at her gloomy face!
When Cui Changjia got up, everyone was having breakfast in the cafeteria. The staple food was the fried pancakes she brought back, and the soup was hot and sour soup.
Aunt Zhang heated up the fried pancakes again, making them even more golden and crispy. She added crispy pork and pepper to the hot and sour soup, and the frangipani floated in the thick soup. It made people drool before they even started eating!
Aunt Zhang was afraid that there wouldn't be enough sesame cakes, so she took advantage of the oil pan to fry half a basin of steamed bread slices and mixed half a basin of pickles.
The combination of these is comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Everyone is a big eater, and the group of people devoured the food in no time at all in the cafeteria!
The Cui family is in financial difficulty now, but they never mistreat the workers when it comes to food!
When Cui Changjia entered the cafeteria, everyone greeted her. Aunt Zhang wanted to get up to serve her soup, but she held her down. The Qing Dynasty had fallen long ago, and everyone was equal. People came here to work, not to be maids and servants.
"Jia Jia, I left two sesame cakes for you. If they're not enough, you can eat steamed bread slices." Aunt Zhang said.
Aunt Zhang was especially kind to Cui Changjia, not only because they both worked for Cui Changjia, but also because she really loved this girl. She had lived for decades and had never seen such a good girl, who was always smiling to everyone but "hard" to herself, a girl who often ran hundreds of kilometers back and forth a day by herself.
Her room was next to the one Cui Changjia lived in, and she could often hear her gasping for breath as she turned over in the middle of the night. It wasn't a machine, so how could she not be tired?
Cui Changjia smiled and said, "I'll just eat the steamed bread slices, you guys can have the sesame cakes, I've eaten them twice in Sucheng."
As Cui Changjia picked up a bowl of soup, he thought to himself that if Aunt Zhang hadn't been intercepted halfway, she probably wouldn't have to fry the steamed bread slices anymore.
At breakfast today, Cui Changjia suddenly discovered that there were two more people in the cafeteria.
Zhang Fengming called her, "Jia Jia, let me introduce you. This is my apprentice Qingfeng, and this is Qingyun, who is from the same village as him."
Brothers Xing Qingfeng and Xing Qingyun are both in their thirties.
Cui Changjia had known that Xing Qingfeng was coming. As soon as Zhang Fengming introduced him, she went over to greet them. It seemed that Zhang Fengming had already told them about her. The two of them stood up and were very polite to Cui Changjia.
Zhang Fengming's craftsmanship is impeccable, and the people he brings out must be good too. Besides, Cui Xiuyuan knows all of them. Since he is willing to let them come, then they must be right. Cui Changjia has nothing to worry about.
With the addition of two new employees to the factory, Cui Changjia felt more at ease.
Cui Wenquan was not there, so Cui Changjia brought some soup and went to find his brother to sit down. Cui Wenquan had already finished eating and went out for exercise.
Cui Changjia asked, "When Uncle Chang mentioned giving us 500,000 yesterday, was Dad tempted?"
Cui Xiuyuan asked her back, "Are you moved?"
"What a heart-throb!" Cui Changjia took a bite of the fried dough cake and sneered, "Our dad was in the ICU for so long, and he didn't show up. Now that dad has woken up, you're well, and the factory is in good shape, he's here again."
Cui Xiuyuan sighed, "Jia Jia, don't think like that. Uncle Chang is already very good."
"I know, and I am grateful to him, but one thing is for another, I don't want any favors that would just add icing on the cake!"
Indeed, Cui Xiuyuan said, "My father is very conflicted. He wants to be strong, but he doesn't want you to suffer so much."
"Brother, I never felt tired!" Cui Changjia said seriously, "The reason why I don't use it, in addition to the reason just now, the most important thing is that it is not the right time for our family to make furniture. Not only because you and Dad haven't recovered yet, but also there are still a lot of rumors about our family outside."
Cui Changjia then told him about Niu Zhian’s decision to buy some furniture when he went to Yu Tang, and then said, “So we have to wait another year or so before we decide, but I want to do it in a different way.”
"Change the way? How?"
“Let’s create our own brand.”
“What we did before was our own brand.”
"No, I'm talking about building our own brand store." Cui Changjia has a plan for every step in the future. "We'll talk about how to run it later. Brother, how many boards are left in the warehouse?"
"We finished the batch of goods from Suzhou yesterday, and less than a quarter of it is left."
Cao Kun gave goods worth 100,000 yuan. In fact, according to the price given by Ding Xinglin, the goods were worth only 60,000 or 70,000 yuan at most.
Cui Changjia and his team’s turnover has exceeded 100,000, so it is normal that less than one-third of the boards are left in the warehouse.
After dinner, Cui Changjia, Cui Xiuyuan and Zhang Fengming went to see the goods brought back from Ding Xinglin.
