Chapter 214 Then I'll Make a Hard Trip

When Kong Wenhui came back, she no longer had the things she brought with her. She couldn't hide the excitement on her face and her hands were shaking. When Shen Meng looked up at her, he saw that the muscles at the corners of her mouth were twitching.

"Xiao Meng, our factory manager said that he can contact you individually and buy from your friend. When will that friend have the goods?"

"Sister Kong, what are you talking about? Your factory director, no, no, I'm not familiar with that person. He knew Qianqian was in confinement through others, so he wanted to give her some gifts to build a relationship. No one in the Li family knows him at all. I just heard about him."

Kong Wenhui was so focused on solving her own internal problems that she forgot to ask Shen Meng what was going on. Now she has already told the factory director that if she can't solve this matter properly, how can she stay in the factory in the future?

"Xiao Meng, you must help me. If you can get a batch of fine grains and other materials, I will apply for a bonus for you. Our non-staple food factory didn't make much money last year. If it's okay this year, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay the salaries."

Things are different now. In the past, everyone stayed in their own small piece of land. Now, goods are circulated very quickly. Things produced in the county are not rare at all, and even the dirt and stones outside are considered rare goods.

Shen Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I will go and ask, but this matter must not be known to anyone, especially the people of the Li family. Besides, I will not participate in this matter. I don't care about bonuses or not. Sister, just pretend that I have never been here today, okay?"

"Okay, okay, you're right. If Secretary Li's family are all upright people, not only should they not know about it, but my family and my eldest brother's family should not know about it either. Otherwise, they will definitely blame me. Xiao Meng, I'll wait for your letter. The price and everything else can be negotiated."

"Okay, Sister Kong, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving now. I'll go run around. If there's any letter, I'll come straight to you. But the price might be a little higher, so you guys should have an idea of ​​it."

Kong Wenhui nodded. This was obvious. If the other person’s food was really good, the price would definitely be high.

When Shen Meng was about to go out, Kong Wenhui called her again.

"Xiao Meng, you just said that the cake was made by your sister-in-law. Can I have the recipe? Our factory director thinks that this cake is well made, and if we can produce it in batches, won't more people be able to eat it?"

"Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law later!"

Kong Wenhui accompanied Shen Meng all the way to the gate. She was no longer visible, but she was still waving at her from behind. When the security guard saw this, he immediately took the cigarette from his ear and quietly hid it in his pocket.

Soon it was time to get off work, and Shen Meng hurried to the intersection. Uncle Guai was guarding the ox cart and squatting on the side to rest. After seeing Shen Meng, he hurriedly took out a kettle from the box under his seat.

"Xiao Meng, your aunt made you some brown sugar ginger water to ward off the cold. I put it in this box wrapped in thick clothes. It's warm!"

"Hey, thank you, Uncle Guai. Hehehe, Auntie is so nice. But my mother and I are really in tune with each other. The Lantern Festival is coming soon. A friend in the city brought me some food. We can't finish it at home, so I divided a bag in advance. Uncle, you put it in the box, and you can eat it with my aunt and Xiangxiang later."

Uncle Guai took it hurriedly and looked at it from left to right.

"You can't do that. If you can't finish it, ask Xiaobin to take it back to your parents' home. We don't need it."

"It's necessary, it's necessary. Take it and eat it. Look at how much is in my bag. You have to give some to Jing later. These things can't be kept for too long, otherwise they will go bad." Uncle Guai wanted to refuse, but Shen Meng quickly coughed twice. Uncle Guai turned around and saw Wu Xianglan running towards him with a smile. She waved to them.

He quickly put a bag of things in the box.

"Sister-in-law, Uncle Guai, you've been waiting for a long time. It's very cold. Let's go now!"

"Why are you walking? Daya Niang hasn't arrived yet. Wait a moment!"

Wu Xianglan smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a while, and took out two apples from the bag she was carrying.

"Sister-in-law, I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bag of apples. Take them back and cut them for Mingyang and the others to eat!"

Shen Meng smiled and took it and put it in her bag. When Wu Xianglan opened the bag just now, she clearly saw brown sugar and peach cakes inside, but she only took out two green and yellow apples.

"Xianglan, how is your work going? Are your coworkers treating you well?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xianglan was in high spirits, perhaps because Hu Biao had greeted her, or perhaps because the handful of candies Shen Meng had left for her had taken effect. She was particularly happy in the textile factory today. Going to work was indeed different from working in the fields to earn work points. She didn't feel tired at all while working.

"It couldn't be worse. I used to think that people in this city had high standards, but now I know that they are all good people!"

"That's good. Get along well with everyone and work hard. After a year or so, I can talk to the boss and promote you to a regular employee. Regular employees are different from temporary employees. Not to mention the benefits during the holidays, the salary alone is nearly half more than that of temporary employees. You have to work hard. All of this depends on connections and favors."

"Hey, I understand, sister-in-law. Look at my memory. I bought a pound of milk candy at the supply and marketing cooperative. You can grab a handful and take it back to Mingyang and the others!"

Shen Mengru grabbed a handful, but did not put them in her own pocket. Instead, she gave a few to Uncle Guai and handed the others in another direction. When Wu Xianglan turned around, she saw Yu Xueli, who had come over at some point, standing behind her.

"My family doesn't lack candy, but you take Uncle Guai's car every day, and Daya Niang also works in the county town. If I'm not here at some point, or if I have to go out for something, you have to help each other. Otherwise, if something happens to you in the county town, you won't have anyone to help you."

Wu Xianglan's heart skipped a beat. She had a stupid brain, but her sister-in-law was more thoughtful. Isn't that the truth?

After all, Yu Xueli works in the county hospital, and all the people she knows are capable. Not to mention what happened to her, just the fact that she has connections in the county hospital has made her co-workers envious. People eat all kinds of grains, so how can they not get sick? If they have a minor illness or disaster, they can ask Yu Xueli to take care of them. If they can curry favor with their leader, then maybe they can get a regular job without their sister-in-law asking someone to say something!

"Yes, that's what my sister-in-law said. Sister Shirley, just take it. We are all from the same village. We need to help each other if there is anything. I am a very easy-going person. Just tell me what you need. I will definitely help you in any way I can. Uncle Guai, when Xiangxiang gets married, I will add some good things to her dowry. Our relationship must be better than others!"

After Wu Xianglan finished speaking, she was very satisfied with her performance. She felt that she was learning more and more from her elder sister-in-law. She spoke fluently and in style.
