Chapter 41 Leaving
On the second night, the two of them were familiar with the place.
They were no longer the newbies.
I thought I could have a good sleep after this one time, but Song Jinglin kept working until the middle of the night.
Liu Qingqing was sleepy, and she couldn't say what would happen tomorrow: "Can you let me go to work later?"
Song Jinglin's voice was hoarse and low: "I will be able to go to work soon."
"You have been there several times." Liu Qingqing complained.
"I have to leave the day after tomorrow..."
Although he had used bad words, Liu Qingqing still let him do what he wanted.
The main thing was that this person's eyes flickered as he looked at you, and he was still moving when you didn't move.
Before leaving, he still had to go back to Taoshan Village. Song Jinglin took advantage of Liu Qingqing's work time to go back to the village.
Knowing that her son was leaving, Song's mother took the cakes and canned food from Song Jinglin's hand with reluctance: "Son, when will you come back next time?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on the team's arrangement." Sometimes the family leave is around the New Year, and sometimes it depends on the mission.
Song's mother patted her second son on the shoulder: "Take good care of yourself when you go back. You only have a few days a year, when can you have your own baby."
"Don't say those useless things, hurry up and prepare some delicious food for the second child." Song's father interrupted her. This old woman, the older she gets, the less she can speak.
"I know, I know." Song's mother went into the kitchen impatiently.
This damn old man, she found out that the reason for the separation was to have good food and drink, and he hid it for half a lifetime.
————————————————
After dinner, Liu Qingqing prepared some food for Song Jinglin on the road.
First, she baked a pot of sugar cakes for him, and then steamed a pot of steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Of course, she couldn't bring so much, so she had to keep some for herself.
She also boiled a few eggs.
"Put this bottle of sauce in your pocket, too, and put it in the steamed buns when you eat it, or dip it in boiled eggs, it's delicious." Liu Qingqing took out a can of chili sauce, which she made in a hurry. There was a little meat in it, but not much.
Song Jinglin watched his wife prepare this and mutter that, his eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness.
"No need to bring these, you can keep the pastry for yourself. Just bring the steamed buns, I'm used to taking the bus."
"How can that be? I wasn't there before, but it's different now." Liu Qingqing looked proud and flirted with Song Jinglin.
The little talk was soothing and the look was so seductive that it made his heart soft.
Song Jinglin hugged her from behind: "Wife, I will go back and try hard to let you go as soon as possible."
Liu Qingqing smiled and said: "I believe you, but you have to take your body into consideration, otherwise I won't serve you if you tire yourself out."
"I'll serve you."
...
Liu Qingqing rolled her eyelids and said nothing but dirty words.
"If there are children and old ladies around, you can eat steamed bread. If you are young, you can eat eggs and sugar cakes."
Young people are thin-skinned, and few of them will lose face. Of course, there are exceptions.
"Yes."
"And don't wear your clothes yet, just wear this one you wear at home to get on the train." Wearing green clothes, someone opened his mouth and stretched out his hand, so he had to show his style.
"Okay."
Liu Qingqing put the things into the big bag he brought one by one, clapped his hands and stood up.
"Okay, rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." The train seat is also hard, and it may be very tiring to sit for three consecutive days.
Liu Qingqing felt that she had done a perfect job, and the standard good wife and mother could give herself a high score of 9.5.
After all, it is said that all love at first sight is based on lust.
She felt that her lust was not that bad.
So she used the contrast to make him remember her deeply.
The only time they spent together was spent on getting to know each other.
Now they get along more harmoniously.
This is also a good start.
The couple chatted until late at night, doing nothing but hugging each other and telling each other some instructions.
When Song Jinglin got on the train, Liu Qingqing was still at work.
So there was no such touching scene as being reluctant to leave, chasing the train to say goodbye, or shedding tears on the platform.
The two left the house together in the morning, one heading east and the other heading north.
Liu Qingqing waved and left briskly.
Song Jinglin stared at her from behind for a while. The biggest difference this time might be her.
After the others left, Liu Qingqing returned to her normal life and released the spider to work.
After the two of them cleaned the house for a few days, it was still clean, but it was not as good as technology.
It can handle corners and gaps, as well as stains that cannot be removed by human tools.
She didn't dare to release it before because she was afraid that Song Jinglin would crush it with a sweep.
The spider looks ugly, but it lives well.
Liu Qingqing had to drag it out from time to time and let it walk around the house.
——————————————————————
"Qingqing, help me analyze whether this Lu Fangnan is suitable."
She sternly refused Fu Meili's invitation to dinner.
She didn't want to owe anyone a favor for a meal in the cafeteria.
However, due to the other party's determination to invite her for dinner.
Liu Qingqing decided to invite her to her home for dinner in the evening.
People should know the current situation. This is the eldest daughter of the director of the cotton spinning factory. The family relatives should at least start as sales clerks.
Since Song Jinglin left, she smuggled her bicycle out of the empty alley that had nothing to do with the fertilizer factory.
Ride back from outside to the yard.
There was no way, it was impossible for her to ride out from this side of the house.
Since she settled here, everyone around must have heard about her and Song Jinglin.
If someone farts in the yard, someone will smell it and find the source.
Maybe someone will notice that a bicycle that didn't ride in before suddenly rides out.
Although there was no confrontation in this matter, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Fortunately, Song Jinglin and her delivered a steamed bun made of two layers of flour to each family, and also revealed the news that the troops were on duty and had a good relationship with Zhou Renyi's family.
The neighbors were also very kind when they met.
If a girl lived here alone...
Liu Qingqing needed to get on the bike, so Fu Meili had to wait for her to ride out and then chase her and jump on it.
Fu Meili rushed up, Liu Qingqing was a little shaky, and she was riding crookedly with Fu Meili on the back seat, and Fu Meili was scared to death.
Screaming and calling her to get off.
"You're almost throwing me off, get off, get off, I'll ride."
Liu Qingqing slowed down: "You jump off, I have to pull my legs back."
Fu Meili rolled her eyes, how easy is it to go to eat a meal.
"What kind of skills are you, you swing your legs back when you get off the bike, you really can't catch it in time." Then he lifted his legs and got on the bike: "You should learn from this."
As a result, Liu Qingqing jumped up, and the bike moved like a snake again.
"You're not that good either."
Fu Meili puffed up her cheeks: "I haven't ridden for a long time. Just watch me. I'm definitely better than you when I ride."
"Okay, you ride, let me see how good you are." Liu Qingqing didn't argue with her.
Chapter 42 Change again
"Your house is really clean." Fu Meili looked around after entering the house. The house was ordinary, but it was really clean.
Liu Qingqing smiled. It was indeed much brighter than before.
She changed her coat and went into the kitchen to start cooking.
Fu Meili also hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and followed in: "I'll clean the vegetables."
"Let's stir-fry some shredded potatoes. You peel them." Liu Qingqing didn't bother to be polite with her and handed over two potatoes.
She took out the oil residue from the previous frying and used it to stir-fry the shredded potatoes. It was fragrant and not eye-catching.
She also cooked a shredded cabbage soup, scooped a little oil, poured the shredded cabbage in and fried it until fragrant, added water and sprinkled a pinch of shrimp skin in, boiled it, and then added salt.
In fact, the taste is just like boiled cabbage, but with the addition of shrimp skin to enhance the freshness.
Take out a few sugar-coated crispy cakes, and the meal will be complete.
"It tastes so refreshing." Fu Meili took a sip from the bowl.
Liu Qingqing nodded: "I think so too, in fact, only a little shrimp skin was added."
"This thing is rare in Wuning, it's a rare thing." Fu Meili took the crispy cake and took a bite: "So much sugar?"
This meal is too burdensome to eat, white flour crispy cake, but sugar is added.
In addition, the oil residue is also meat.
"Just make something to eat. It's so good, I don't know how to eat it."
"I didn't make it specially for you. The pastry is for my lover to eat on the road. He didn't bring many." Liu Qingqing handed her another one: "Eat it. Why are you being polite when you are at my house?"
Fu Meili took it. Even if it was not made specially, it was given to her willingly.
Otherwise, it would be better to keep it for yourself. Why give it to an outsider who is so big-mouthed?
"Qingqing, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned hotel tomorrow."
Liu Qingqing laughed: "Okay, okay, let's wait for a while, you can see me off when I leave."
Fu Meili paused: "Yes, I forgot again, where are you going? Otherwise, I'll ask my uncle for you, maybe I can get in at the cotton spinning factory."
Liu Qingqing shook her head: "No, I might go to the supply and marketing cooperative." Although it was still a substitute, it was still not feasible to follow Fu Meili's way. She was simple, and there was no stupid person in her family. What kind of relationship do you have with her to take such a big advantage? Now temporary workers are all big favors. Even if Fu Meili is sincere, her family will never let others treat her as a fool.
Fu Meili's eyes widened, and the bull nose ruined this one.
After leaving the grain station, I turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's even better than her family.
Liu Qingqing didn't say much. After the two of them finished their meal, Liu Qingqing ignored Fu Meili's refusal and sent her home.
As soon as she entered the house, Fu Meili slapped her thigh: she was only concerned with eating and forgot about the business.
"Xiao Liu, you're back."
"Hey, has Auntie Song eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Liu, I won't queue up next time I go to the grain station, I'll come directly to you."
"Okay, Auntie, what are you talking about with me?"
"Oh, then Auntie, thank you very much."
"Look at you, Auntie, you're so polite. Once you say thank you, won't it distance our relationship?" Liu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite with you."
As soon as she entered the intersection, she had to say a few words to the neighbors she met.
Liu Qingqing smiled and greeted everyone along the way, but her expression immediately changed when she entered the yard.
After pushing the bicycle into the yard, she went into the house and turned on the light.
It was not yet dark, and it was not time to go to bed. Every family did not lock their doors, so she had to follow the crowd.
Zhou Dasao from next door would occasionally come to visit with her eldest daughter.
Before, the grain station distributed Guoguang apples, and she took two seeds and stuffed them into the space to plant.
Fruit trees grow very slowly in the space. It has been a month since they were planted before they started to bear fruit.
Other food crops mature very quickly.
She wanted to eat some other fruits, but unfortunately, none of them were sold in the market, let alone seeds.
She had already eaten all the power pills and fitness pills.
She had drawn prizes several times during this period, but none of them won.
She probably wouldn't give them out.
She guessed that her physical fitness had reached her limit.
She cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen that had just been used.
As for the stove and the floor, she left them to the spider.
She got used to it after using it many times.
Her mood after releasing the spider was calm.
She was now a mature woman.
The job of cashier in the supply and marketing cooperative has basically been decided, but no one can guarantee what will happen before she starts working.
She also prepared a second plan. If the supply and marketing cooperative fails, she will have to work harder in the processing plant.
With her current body, she can handle it easily.
Not going to work is not an option.
She is not a city resident, so she can't move now.
If she doesn't have a temporary job and stays in Wuning, the street will have to visit her every day.
——————————————
"Auntie Zhao."
"Hey, it's Comrade Xiao Liu." Auntie Zhao moved the newspaper down and showed her eyes.
Liu Qingqing handed the net bag over: "Aunt Zhao, I really want to learn from you. Young people nowadays don't follow current affairs as closely as you do. I have to read newspapers every day when I go back to improve my revolutionary thinking." Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "Comrade Xiao Liu, you are here just for the sake of being here. What are you carrying?" "The Guoguang apples distributed by the grain station are not rare. I know Aunt Zhao's family must have enough, but this is my gift, right?" "This little mouth is really good at talking. Let's go inside and talk to Aunt." Liu Qingqing quickly reached out and helped the person up from the recliner. The two sat on the old-fashioned wooden chairs in the living room, which were somewhat similar to the prototype of a sofa. The furnishings in the house were also more exquisite than those in other houses. "To be honest, I'm not afraid of assigning this job to someone else. After all, they are all formal employees. At most, they can go back to work as salespersons." Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "But my daughter-in-law is confused. She wants to ask her brother from her mother's family to take over, which is like throwing meat buns at dogs."
Liu Qingqing listened with a smile and didn't say much. This person's daughter-in-law said it was okay, so she, an outsider, shouldn't say anything.
"But as soon as you mentioned it to me, I took it to heart. I will make the final decision on this matter. You will go to hand over at the end of the month. What I say is absolutely counted."
"Thank you so much, Aunt Zhao. Thanks to your help, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Aunt Zhao laughed.
She just met a neighbor at the grain station and chatted for a few words, and this person stared at her and took the initiative to show his goodwill.
She didn't believe that she had no plans.
As for this daughter-in-law.
After the old lady retired, she gave the job to the young daughter-in-law.
This young daughter-in-law's family had nothing. If her son hadn't been a classmate of hers and hadn't insisted on getting married before graduating, she wouldn't have agreed to let him enter the house like this.
What could she do if she didn't agree? She couldn't persuade her child. Besides, Liu Lizhi's mother would always go and sue her son for being a hooligan to her daughter.
After gritting her teeth and accepting it, she held on to the money tightly. Although the job was taken by the daughter-in-law, she still had to collect the salary.
If she didn't have something in her hand, she would probably have to move back to the Liu family.
This time she didn't want to care about it anymore, but after Liu Qingqing recommended herself, she also thought about it.
Liu Qingqing began to change the topic and talked about the business scope of the cashiers in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Such old technicians know much more than ordinary people.
At the grain station, Liu Qingqing has been working for a month, and Liu Gaihong is in a hurry to return to the unit as soon as the time comes.
When Liu Qingqing handed over to her, she handed her a net bag of Guoguang apples: "Sister Gaihong, look, this is what the unit distributed last month. My brother-in-law didn't come to get it in time, so it's just right to give it to you this time."
She cut out one of the apples that were distributed at the time to take out the seeds and planted it, but the rest were left intact.
The apples in her space were ripe, and she was given one more.
She added: "I didn't touch any of them. There are 12 in total. Please count them, Sister Gaihong."
Liu Gaihong was embarrassed: "Hey, sister, you are too polite. Just take them and eat them yourself."
Liu Qingqing smiled embarrassedly: "How can I do that? We agreed that I can't take any of these benefits."
Liu Gaihong pretended to refuse twice, then waved goodbye, signaling Liu Qingqing to leave quickly.
Fu Meili pouted. She knew that Liu Gaihong was this kind of person.
Chapter 43 On the job
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Hello, Director Li."
Director Li looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.
This can be turned into a professional. As far as he knows, this is the third one, right?
Liu Qingqing smiled shyly: "It's all because the elder sisters see that I have a hard time and want to help me."
No one else said much.
Director Li didn't take it seriously. Whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
It's not easy for anyone these days.
"Do you still know Director Li?" Liu Lizhi squinted her eyes.
She really didn't like the person who said he was going to take over her class. I heard that he was from the village.
If her mother-in-law hadn't insisted on letting this person take over her job, she wouldn't do it. She also has a younger brother who is about to graduate and is worried about where to go.
There was no other way. Who asked her to take over this job from her mother-in-law? She was used to pretending to be obedient and capable in front of her mother-in-law, and she couldn't offend her when she was about to give birth.
Director Li smiled and said, "We are old acquaintances. How are you doing at the grain station? I have praised you to Lao Shao."
The latter question was asked by Liu Qingqing.
"Thanks to Director Li, otherwise Director Shao wouldn't have taken such good care of me. I was also taken care of by you during the time I worked under you. This time I am working under your leadership again. I will definitely work hard to live up to your trust in me."
Liu Qingqing followed the conversation and praised him.
Liu Lizhi looked at the two people chatting enthusiastically, and her heart was churning. She originally planned to hand over casually and let Liu Qingqing make some mistakes. If she couldn't do it at that time, it would not be her problem, and her mother-in-law would naturally not blame her.
Seeing that she was more familiar with the other person than herself, what else could she do? Just be honest.
Liu Lizhi gradually extinguished other thoughts.
After completing the temporary work procedures in a familiar way, Liu Qingqing glanced at Liu Lizhi beside her and saw that she had already put away her contemptuous expression.
She also smiled faintly. Although she was not afraid of her, she still had to borrow the power she could.
Liu Lizhi walked forward with her hands on her belly: "Sister Liu, I'll take you to the workstation and ask me if you have any questions."
Liu Qingqing smiled, and she changed from "that person" to "Sister Liu".
Liu Lizhi's mother-in-law is Aunt Zhao.
At that time, the supply and marketing cooperative was as enviable as the grain station. Thanks to the state's unified planning and marketing, their wages were stable and they could make money regardless of drought.
The two walked to the workstation one after the other. The cashier desk was a bit like a school podium, but it was one step higher than the podium.
When she went up the steps, Liu Qingqing hurriedly supported her, although Liu Lizhi had been going to and from get off work here during this period.
But you still have to look out for good people under your nose.
Don't get yourself into trouble when something goes wrong.
There are many iron wires hanging above the cashier, which are connected to the counters below.
During the time of going through the formalities, several salesmen have already issued bills.
But there was no one at the cashier just now, and they were all waiting slowly.
Liu Lizhi supported her big belly and sat down slowly: "Sister Liu, I'll settle one first, and you can learn while I'm here."
"Then I'll trouble Sister Liu."
Liu Qingqing stood beside her and looked around. It seemed that she could overlook the entire supply and marketing cooperative from this position.
The customers who had been issued with tickets and paid did not dare to rush and waited patiently.
A salesperson saw Liu Lizhi coming, called out, and then clamped the written ticket and money to the iron clip under the pulley and threw it hard.
The ticket that slid up along the wire by inertia was caught steadily by Liu Lizhi.
Liu Lizhi took down the money and tickets, and counted on the abacus. After collecting the money, she counted the change, took down the ticket, stamped the ticket, and finally put the change and the stamped small ticket on it, and threw it along the wire to the counter just now.
This set of operations of throwing tickets back and forth is dazzling.
After finishing this one, Liu Lizhi stood up: "You try the next one."
Liu Qingqing nodded and sat over. She was familiar with collecting money and counting tickets. The only thing she needed to practice was throwing tickets.
Fortunately, the design of throwing tickets from the cash register is from high to low, so there will be no problem of backflow.
As long as the strength is used properly, it is easy to return the tickets to the salesperson.
She has plenty of strength.
As for the salespersons below, it is purely a matter of skill. Some people will kick their legs backwards when throwing tickets, which looks quite funny.
The handover here is almost done, and Liu Qingqing is officially on the job.
Liu Lizhi patted her butt and left cleanly.
There are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, but the salespersons are all selling goods slowly, so Liu Qingqing is not busy.
If you have nothing to do, you can still look around and see the hustle and bustle.
"Little grandson, your clip is stuck."
The iron clip was stuck in the middle of the road, and the receipt was dangling in the air.
"Oh, why is it stuck?" Sun Yingxia ran under the clip and jumped up, but she couldn't reach it.
"Take the pole, give you the pole." Sister Yu, who sells ready-made clothes, handed out a clothes pole.
Sun Yingxia poked it and pulled the stuck pulley, and the pulley slowly slid back to its original place.
She threw the clip hard again, and Liu Qingqing raised her hand to catch it.
Sun Yingxia grinned at her and continued to write orders for customers.
Liu Qingqing sat high at the cashier.
Ah! Lonely!
I thought this job was good, just need to sit and look for money and stamp.
But it's lonely at the top, when no one is around, others can chat and gossip.
She is done, she can't reach anywhere, and can only look down on the officials.
Before leaving get off work, Liu Qingqing took the bill to Director Li to settle accounts.
Just then, I saw Director Li holding a teacup, and he spit out the tea leaves in his mouth.
"Director Li."
"Hey, it's Xiao Liu." Director Li closed the teacup.
He took the money and various bills in Liu Qingqing's hand and glanced at the account book.
"Okay, no problem, go back."
Although the account is checked for a while every few days, the money must be handed in every day.
Except for the fifty yuan and a few dimes left as change, the rest cannot be kept in your hands.
This is also because there was a case of embezzlement a few years ago.
Since then, the policy has been changed.
"Director Li, my wife brought back a box of tea last time. I heard that it was produced in Wuyi. I am not used to drinking tea. This good tea is not as good as sugar water in my mouth. I see that you like tea very much. I will give it to you to taste."
Director Li waved his hand: "I am so sorry, no, no, I just said I had nothing to do and had a sip."
"It's settled. You must be an expert, otherwise this good tea will be wasted in my hands." Liu Qingqing said, without waiting for him to refuse again, and took the account book out of the office.
Chapter 44 Black Market Legend
Liu Qingqing hummed an unknown tune and rode her bicycle home.
She was about to reach home.
A person suddenly appeared from the alley next to her and almost knocked her over.
She threw her bicycle down in excitement and jumped off.
The bicycle made a loud clang.
Then several people wearing red armbands rushed out.
They were very fast and soon caught up with the one who knocked her down.
A person wearing a red armband reached out and grabbed, but didn't catch the person but grabbed the hair.
The person's original hair was revealed - it was a woman.
The person wearing the red armband was startled and saw that it was a wig. She threw it to the ground angrily and rushed to chase.
After a few steps, several red armbands pressed the man to the ground.
The basket carried by the woman who was pressed rolled to the ground, and some plastic bags of rice, flour, and some golden monkeys spilled out of the basket.
Two red armbands pressed his two arms, and the others picked up the basket and food on the ground and walked out.
Liu Qingqing blinked and looked at the entrance of the alley. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
She looked back at those people and they were also walking away.
She picked up the bicycle that was still lying on the ground.
She pushed it two steps and saw that the chain was not off.
She calmed down and prepared to run and kick again.
Two of the red armbands came back: "What do you do?"
Liu Qingqing turned around and looked at the words on the red armband.
"Just got off work, what's up comrade?"
The red armband woman continued: "What are you doing here?"
Liu Qingqing pointed at the car: "Just now that guy rushed out and knocked me down. If I hadn't jumped fast, I would have fallen with the car. I just fixed the car, it's so wicked. Look at my car, it's all scratched."
The two of them took a closer look, and the red armband woman asked: "Where do you work?"
"The supply and marketing cooperative." Liu Qingqing answered honestly.
The red armband woman waved her hand: "Okay, comrade, you can go quickly, we are in a public office."
Liu Qingqing nodded in response and continued to push the car.
After returning home, Liu Qingqing felt uneasy.
After dinner, she went to talk to Zhou Dasao next door.
"Sister-in-law, do you know what happened? Why did they come to our place to arrest people?"
Liu Qingqing told her about the things in the alley, and Zhou Dasao immediately became mysterious.
"Sister, you asked the right person. I know. I heard that the market has moved to the alley behind the fertilizer factory. The street patrol team believes that they will arrest people in the next few days." The market is the private name of the black market. This is also a private chat, for fear that others will hear it and cause trouble.
Liu Qingqing had been walking back and forth for so long that she didn't know there was a black market nearby: "Why didn't I hear about it before?"
"They hide it tightly. Usually there is no insider to lead it, and no one knows where it is. How can they notify others in a big way?" Zhou Dasao lowered her voice.
"Sister-in-law, why are you talking more and more quietly? It's so creepy." It seems like she is telling a ghost story.
Zhou Dasao coughed and said embarrassedly: "I want to keep my voice down unconsciously."
"Do we have to change places now?" It's already so noisy.
"Change every two or three days, we definitely can't come here anymore."
"Sister-in-law, what do you think? The person who is staying is a woman. How should we deal with it?" She remembered that someone said that the best way to kill her was by shooting, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.
"First, they will be approved for a period of time, and then they will go to jail." Mrs. Zhou was not very clear about the details.
Liu Qingqing nodded.
This frightening thing should not happen in front of her.
As for the matter of catching speculators, no one in their alley mentioned it again after only one day.
The black market moves from place to place, and the patrol team sets out fishing lines to catch people every day.
It is not a fresh bargaining chip.
Liu Qingqing became more determined in her idea that she could not go to this place.
She had food and drink, why did she do such a deadly thing.
But now she has to be careful about eating and drinking.
Meat and other things have a smell when they are cooked, so she basically cooks them once in the space and saves them for later consumption.
After returning home, all the doors inside and outside were locked.
The curtains were drawn tight, and people entered the space.
She piled the tea leaves for Director Li in the utility room.
All the things that are usually not used are here, and she has to look for them carefully.
Speaking of which, she was not lying about the tea leaves.
It is indeed from Wuyi.
"Wuyi Tea from Jianyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative"
She won a lot of them in the lottery, and the name is written like this.
Fortunately, these things are no different from those on the market.
They have a source and a name.
The only things that are different are sanitary napkins and big spiders.
She never took them out.
She only used sanitary napkins for the first two days.
She never took out spare towels.
Later, when the amount was low, she would use the toilet paper at this time.
Be careful and you will be safe.
If the boat capsizes, there will be no fun.
She hasn't been in the space much recently. Occasionally, she would look inside with her consciousness, harvest some land, grow some vegetables, and draw prizes.
Last month's salary was issued, and she put in a draw.
"Internal special needs special cigarettes * 10"
...
Ten yuan lost again.
—————————————
Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning, Liu Qingqing put a box of tea leaves on Director Li's desk.
She didn't show up again.
Since it was already said yesterday, she delivered it today, and Director Li also knew who took it.
There was no need to show up and say a few polite words to take credit.
This can easily make people feel disgusted.
After leaving Director Li's office, Liu Qingqing returned to her workstation.
"Comrade Liu, you're here."
It was Sun Yingxia who was stuck with the bill yesterday.
"Hey, Comrade Sun, you're here early too." Liu Qingqing nodded.
She walked up to her platform and took a deep breath.
Every day she felt like she was going to court.
There was a "bang" in her ear, and Liu Qingqing subconsciously reached out her hand.
She grabbed the bill...
Chapter 45 Workplace Normality
There is no break at noon in the supply and marketing cooperative. It is basically the salespersons who take turns to eat in the canteen.
The canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative is the same as the canteen of the grain station. You can have a meal with a few cents and two taels of meal tickets.
The dishes are similar, all random.
Generally, the chef will make whatever the canteen has purchased.
"Sister, Sister Liu."
Liu Qingqing looked back and saw an acquaintance.
This is Sister Lu, who made her first pot of gold.
"Sister Lu, let's go eat."
"Isn't it, Sister Liu, you are really good. You have entered our supply and marketing cooperative." Sister Lu was proud and complacent when she said "our supply and marketing cooperative".
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Yes, and I have become a comrade with Sister Lu. We should talk more in the future."
"Sister, I see that you are a capable person. Do you have anything else in your hand?" She rubbed her fingers.
"Sister, don't mention it. My husband came back some time ago and saw that I didn't buy a car. He had a big quarrel with me. Now, he doesn't give me money anymore." Liu Qingqing looked annoyed.
Sister Lu twitched her lips. I have never seen such a woman. How can she still be afraid of men?
"Sister, you can't do this. The house is managed by the old women. How can we let the old men take our jobs? We should be tough."
"What are you eating for lunch?" Liu Qingqing didn't want to say more and looked out the window.
"Comrade Liu, come quickly, there are dumplings today." Sun Yingxia waved her arms excitedly.
"Really? Then I have to hurry." Liu Qingqing quickened her pace and shook off Sister Lu who kept talking.
She came closer with her lunch box, paid for a full box of dumplings.
She saw that there were actually many kinds of dipping sauces.
She decisively made a garlic vinegar one.
Sun Yingxia called her: "Come and sit here."
Liu Qingqing responded and moved over.
There were four of them sitting at this table.
Xu Hui and Yu Cailian at the same table were about the same age as her.
It is estimated that these are the new successors.
These years are the time when people are forced to go to the countryside to support rural construction.
Many children who have reached the age of aging are either arranged to get married immediately by their families, or they have to step down and let their children take over.
Some people get married to avoid going to the countryside, but it is not that they can get married immediately.
"Comrade Liu, why are you still eating garlic paste? Aren't you afraid of the smell?" Sun Yingxia is a lively person, and she is straightforward in her words and deeds.
Liu Qingqing looked at the vinegar or soy sauce that they all ate and smiled: "My position is too far away and no one can smell it."
Sun Yingxia laughed: "Haha, it's true, I also want to eat garlic paste, but I'm afraid that my mouth will smear the customers' faces."
Xu Hui listened to the two people talking and looked at Liu Qingqing.
Why is this person's hair so smooth and smooth, and his face is also smooth, without any pimples.
Then she looked at her two brush heads, which were dry, yellow and prickly.
She looked at the other person's skin again, which was really fine and white.
Liu Qingqing noticed the gaze coming over and looked up.
She smiled at the person opposite her.
Xu Hui was startled, then she lowered her head and continued to eat.
Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. Did she meet someone she didn't like?
This is a normal phenomenon. After all, everyone is not RMB, so how can you get along with everyone?
Even if you are RMB, there are people you don't like.
After leaving the cafeteria, Liu Qingqing quickly went to work.
There are many salespeople, but she is the only cashier.
Yu Cailian walked behind and nudged Xu Hui with her elbow: "What happened to you when you were eating?"
She raised her chin and pointed in the direction of Liu Qingqing.
"A farmer who dresses himself up like this doesn't look like a good person." Xu Hui made excuses sourly.
Yu Cailian thought she was a bit weird. Looking along her line of sight, everyone was dressed similarly.
She saw that the other person didn't do anything with his face, but his hair was longer than theirs and was braided.
They used to braid their hair, but it suddenly changed in the past two years. Everyone has a brush-like hairstyle.
If you like, grow it longer.
Sun Yingxia poked her head out from behind: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that she used to work at the grain station."
Xu Hui turned her head: "Is it true? Who told you that?"
"Director Li said that. I passed by and heard them talking that day." Sun Yingxia added: "I heard that she is also very close to Director Li."
Yu Cailian understood. No wonder she was so enthusiastic today.
Xu Hui glanced in the direction of Liu Qingqing and said nothing more.
Liu Qingqing hasn't put anything on her face for a long time.
She works at the grain station and the supply and marketing cooperative class. She must be taking care of herself.
The good complexion that has been "gradually" restored is excessive, and everyone around has witnessed it.
Those things on the face will affect the skin quality too much.
The skin is not breathable, which will cause acne.
Her current dress style is consistent with everyone else's.
As long as it matches the image of the current status, there is no problem.
Besides, she is not a peerless beauty who attracts people's attention.
If she is good-looking, it will definitely make people look at her more, but other things, not so much.
If she is not a disaster to the country and the people, or is loved by everyone, what is there to be afraid of.
Director Li drank the tea given by Liu Qingqing, and put his legs on the table very comfortably, in a good mood.
The tea in their supply and marketing cooperative is not very good, there are many broken pieces, and it always floats up when brewed in a large teapot, and it is a mouthful when you drink it.
No wonder Xiao Liu can find a job all the time, just look at this gift-giving skill.
Director Li's attitude is visible to the naked eye, and he is getting gentler and gentler towards Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing understood that this was a thoughtful gift.
With Director Li's occasional care, Liu Qingqing's work life went smoothly.
Chapter 46 Procurement
The supply and marketing cooperative has been working for nearly a month.
It was not until she saw the familiar villagers of Taoshan Village coming to sell eggs that Liu Qingqing remembered that the supply and marketing cooperative had the right to purchase independently.
The agricultural and sideline products purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative are not only eggs, but also various vegetables, dried vegetables, vermicelli and rice noodles.
The eggs of the supply and marketing cooperative are the most scarce things, although the villages of the several brigades below will bring eggs to sell.
It still cannot solve the problem of shortage.
Private things can only be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The agricultural and sideline products collected by the supply and marketing cooperative will also be sold to other units.
They can even sell local products all over the country. This is all legal and compliant.
But the supply and marketing cooperatives here basically go out of town to buy and sell, and there are very few products for export.
After discovering this problem, Liu Qingqing felt that her eggs had a market, but of course it was impossible to sell grain and meat.
Grain is a public grain that the village pays for, and pigs are also handed in.
Selling privately is a crime.
She didn't think about this privately. When she was settling accounts in the evening, Liu Qingqing pretended to be casual and mentioned the matter.
"Director, I think we don't have enough eggs to sell."
Director Li nodded: "Yes, many people buy them."
Liu Qingqing pretended to be sorry: "Today, an aunt from our village came to sell eggs. As a result, she walked for too long and lost her balance. Most of them fell down. When she came to us, there were only a few left. She kept wiping tears when she left."
"Indeed, eggs are afraid of bumps."
Seeing that Director Li was not interested in chatting, she hurriedly changed the topic: "Director, what do you think, if our supply and marketing cooperative arranges a car to go to the village to purchase eggs, and goes there once every half a month, can we get more than now?"
Director Li looked up at her and realized that she had an idea.
"Xiao Liu, if we go to the village to purchase, we will have to bear the losses caused by damage during the journey. In addition, there are labor costs and travel expenses, which must be included in the cost."
Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "Director, I understand. In fact, this can be solved in the total purchase cost. For example, now we purchase eggs for four cents each. If we go to the village to purchase in large quantities, it will save the villagers' time and cost. , we can buy them for three cents each. In addition, our village not only has eggs, but also vermicelli that is delicious. In autumn, when pine nuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts come down from the mountains, we can let the villagers pick them and we can collect them collectively. It is easy to transport, and it is a rare thing, and the cost is low. "
Due to the heavy weight of wild nuts in the mountains, there were not many picked and sold in previous years, and the transportation was too strenuous.
Director Li was also tempted when he heard it. He didn't care much about eggs. The vermicelli that Xiao Liu mentioned was not only easy to transport, but also had a low cost. It would be easier to sell to other areas at that time.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Liu Qingqing retreated readily. This matter was not something she could decide with just a few words.
Although she thought it was highly feasible, the final decision was in the hands of the leader.
She had done everything she could, and the next step was to wait for the leader.
On the one hand, she wanted to export the products legally, and on the other hand, she saw that her job was about to expire, and she couldn't look for the next buyer every few days.
If she kept looking, she would be exhausted sooner or later.
It would be better to create a position for herself.
A few days later, Director Li smiled at Liu Qingqing who was delivering the account and said, "Your suggestion that day was not bad. I studied it and it is feasible to acquire it, but the transportation is a problem."
The transportation team of their supply and marketing cooperative was very busy. They had to go to other places to purchase things every few days, so how could they go to the village to do this job.
"What do you think, Director Li?" Since he said so, he must have his own ideas.
"Why don't you go and do this, and let the production team organize the manpower and vehicles to deliver it themselves, or use donkey carts, which we have in all branches." This is the headquarters of Wuning Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the other cooperatives are not far from here, so donkey carts can be used to replenish goods.
Liu Qingqing was speechless, isn't it the same? Let's take Taoshan Village as an example, how far is the road, and there are even many villages farther away than Taoshan Village. How much can a donkey cart or ox cart carry? The speed is slow and the road is not stable.
"Director, I see that the vehicles of our supply and marketing cooperative transportation team are often parked at the back." It means that they are idle.
"Xiao Liu, the truck is idle, but the people are not. All the employees in our truck team work overtime to transport materials. Once the truck is out, it takes several days. People can't stand it if they don't rest when they come back." Director Li tapped the table rhythmically.
"Director Li, I have a suggestion. I don't know what you think. I will first negotiate the purchase with the brigade below, and then you send a truck driver to go with me. I will try to learn how to drive in one trip. In the future, we won't bother these drivers. When the truck is idle, we will let the brigade prepare things to collect." Liu Qingqing said tentatively.
Director Li suddenly laughed after listening: "Xiao Liu, you think driving is easy. It takes a long time for a grown man to learn. You still want to learn it in one trip. Don't crash our supply and marketing cooperative's truck." The car is much more precious than people.
Liu Qingqing...
If all actions had not been justified, she would have wanted to give him a slap right away.
"Director Li, don't look down on me. I'm very good at memorizing everything I see. Let alone asking me to learn from you once, even if you find someone to teach me right now, I can learn it in one go." Liu Qingqing pretended to be unconvinced.
Director Li...
A toad yawns - what a big mouth.
I wanted to send her away, but when I lowered my head, I saw another jar of tea on the table.
Oh, forget it.
Xiao Liu is usually very tactful.
He almost finished his tea, and he secretly sent him another box two days ago.
"After get off work tomorrow, I'll let Li Jun teach you. You can talk about it after you learn it in one go."
Li Jun is his nephew, and it's easy to call someone from his family.
Just consider it as a reward for drinking tea.
Chapter 47 Master
Li Jun was assigned by his uncle to teach people how to drive during his break, and he was reluctant in his heart.
In their line of work, as long as they are not short of people, they will not teach their skills to others, so as to avoid teaching the apprentice and starving the master.
"Uncle, I just finished a trip, working day and night, and I am still exhausted. Can you tell me what the background of this newcomer you are going to bring is?"
Li Jun sat across from the desk and asked Director Li with a smile.
Director Li is the youngest in the family, and he and the nephew of the eldest brother's family can be said to have grown up together.
The real relationship is probably closer than the relationship between father and son and brothers with the eldest brother.
"You don't have any background, so don't worry too much. Just teach him and he will learn it. If not, forget it." Director Li waved his hand carelessly, took a big teacup and poured him a cup of tea: "Try my new tea."
Li Jun took it and took a sip, grinning: "I don't like this stuff, it's bitter, only you like it."
"You are young and don't understand the benefits of tea." Director Li smacked his lips.
Li Jun rolled his eyes. He was only seven years older than him, but his uncle started drinking tea seven or eight years ago. What does age have to do with it?
Liu Qingqing went to Director Li's office as usual after get off work.
Director Li smiled and said: "I have arranged someone for you, go and try it."
Liu Qingqing nodded and followed him to the back.
There are only two Jiefang trucks stationed at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When it is really busy, we have to rely on the fleet of the transport company to dispatch.
Generally, each truck is equipped with two drivers, so that they can take turns and rush back day and night.
Each of these Jiefang trucks can pull more than five tons of goods. At this time, no matter whether it is overloaded or not, they will try their best to load more in one trip.
When we arrived in front of the car, Li Jun was already sitting in the driver's seat and started the car.
Liu Qingqing opened the door of the co-pilot's seat and climbed up in two steps.
After closing the door, Director Li shook his head and went back to the office to get off work.
He was not prepared to wait for these two people. He might make Li Jun cry. If he didn't care about it here, it would be bad. He might as well go home.
Liu Qingqing looked up at Director Li's nephew.
He looked to be in his fifties, a few years older than Director Li.
Li Jun didn't expect that the one who came to learn to drive was a little girl. He was even more perfunctory.
Liu Qingqing didn't say much. He simply introduced his name and took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag.
"Master Li, take it to refresh yourself."
Li Jun chuckled slightly. What good things had he not seen? What good cigarettes had he not smoked? Usually, when he went out to drive, the person he received invited him to dinner and gave him a gift. That was the minimum standard.
How else can you say: holding the steering wheel, you won't change it even if you give it to a county governor?
He lowered his eyelids and saw the white cigarette box in Liu Qingqing's hand.
The words "internal supply" were facing him.
Li Jun took it, flipped through it, and put it in his pocket with a smile.
I have never smoked this cigarette before.
"Haha, you are too polite, comrade. Where did you buy this cigarette?" Li Jun asked tentatively.
Liu Qingqing kept smiling: "I didn't buy it. My wife brought it back when she went home to visit relatives some time ago. Master Li, do you not like this kind of cigarette? I heard from my wife that their leaders like it very much. I thought it was quite popular."
Li Jun laughed and said: "No, no, I like it too."
Liu Qingqing nodded happily: "It's great that you like it. Then when we finish learning, I will go home and get it for you. I still have a pack at home."
Li Jun's eyes flashed: "You learn What's the use of this? We are all men who work in pairs. You, a woman..."
Liu Qingqing waved her hands: "Master Li, you misunderstood. It was Director Li who said that we could buy agricultural and sideline products from several brigades under us. He also said that Master Li, you guys are too hard-working, so I volunteered to take this job. Master Li, you may not know that I came from the village and want the village to make more money and fill their stomachs."
Li Jun suddenly realized why his uncle didn't care so much.
How much money can you make from buying those things?
Since it didn't affect him much, he put some thought into it.
Liu Qingqing found that she was overconfident. When she got the hang of it, she found that the big cars at that time were different from those in the future.
First, there is no power steering, and it is almost impossible to turn on the spot. To turn 90 degrees, you need to use both hands to turn the steering wheel.
It requires a lot of strength, but Liu Qingqing is no problem when she uses her strength thanks to the powerful pills.
Li Jun praised it after watching it, and he was not so relaxed when he pulled the rudder.
Another thing is gear shifting. Because there is no synchronizer, when downshifting, you need to disengage the gear and release the clutch, then add a foot of oil, increase the speed of the unloaded engine, and then step on the clutch to shift into a low gear, commonly known as two-foot clutch.
If not, the gears are not synchronized, and the friction between the gears will make a sound similar to tearing cloth by hand, which will not only fail to shift gears, but also damage the gearbox.
Li Jun said this very seriously. Don't learn to break the car again, and cause trouble for him in vain.
Their driving master colleagues also have the ability to repair cars.
When they go out to deal with emergencies, they are all guided by the old master for a year, and then they accumulate many years of experience.
It is impossible to expect Liu Qingqing to learn to repair a car all at once.
Liu Qingqing has always driven a manual gear in her previous life, and the basics are still there. Now she just needs to focus on practicing the way to engage the gear of a large vehicle.
"Don't mention it, you are quite smart, you learn quickly." Li Jun sat in the co-pilot seat and saw that although she drove slowly, she drove steadily and without any confusion.
Liu Qingqing looked straight ahead and smiled, "Master Li taught me well."
Li Jun smiled and stroked the cigarette box in his pocket.
The two of them went around the streets and returned to the supply and marketing cooperative. Liu Qingqing did not delay Li Jun any longer.
He climbed up the ladder very quickly now. He had already dropped Li and called him "Master".
Li Jun thought about another pack of cigarettes, thought for a while and said, "Little comrade, come and touch the steering wheel again tomorrow morning, don't forget it after sleeping all night."
Liu Qingqing nodded repeatedly and flattered him without asking for money.
Chapter 48 Writing a Letter
Director Li did not expect that his nephew could teach his "apprentice" with all his heart, and he said that there was no problem in one day.
"Are you and your uncle joking?" Director Li stared.
"No, that comrade Xiao Liu is really good. I saw her driving a circle this morning, and her hands are stable. If you don't believe me, sit next to her and see."
Li Jun touched the two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, and wanted to give one to his uncle, but hesitated and gave up.
Forget it!
His uncle doesn't like this, don't waste this good thing.
He can't bear to smoke this, and he will take it out when he encounters a situation, so that he can show his face.
Director Li shook his head repeatedly: "I won't sit."
He can't be trusted, and if he is not careful, he will send him to the ditch again.
Director Li waved his hand and drove his nephew away.
The others disappeared in the office.
He sipped the tea. He would not give this good thing to his nephew. It would be a waste of this good thing.
He lowered his head and thought for a while.
It is not impossible to have one more person.
It is not for no reason. A purchaser of agricultural and sideline products is also fine.
This little Liu is very careful in his work.
He is also reliable in his work.
Director Li talked with Liu Qingqing after get off work.
Including how much the monthly purchase volume needs to be reached, the purchase plan and price, Liu Qingqing should prepare a report in advance.
After Liu Qingqing agreed, there was a solution for the next month.
...
Received two letters from Song Jinglin in a row.
Liu Qingqing looked at the letter in her hand, which was no different from the previous one.
Daily life and singing about the motherland throughout the whole article.
The only thing that is more is that she has not replied to the letter many times.
At the end, it has to be added: "Looking forward to your reply."
This ancient way of communication was a little awkward for her when she first came into contact with it.
Except for the composition topic of "A letter to **" when she was in school.
Other than this kind of topic.
She has never written a letter.
Searching her memory, she did not find that she had written a letter to Song Jinglin before.
He did not pick on this before. Of course, at that time, Song Jinglin sent family letters every few months. The so-called "family letters" were written to everyone in the family, and there were not many places mentioning her.
He would not ask her to reply.
Now he picked it.
This also proves that in Song Jinglin's heart, the relationship between the two is different.
It would be a shame if she didn't write back. If only one of the two people is passionate about each other, it will eventually fade away.
Relationships are not just about instant acquaintance, they also need to be cultivated slowly.
She spread the letter paper flat and smoothed it out again.
Okay, just copy it as it is.
I still know how to copy homework.
I have to prepare well before writing. I went to the post office to buy letter paper, envelopes and stamps.
I suddenly remembered when I was buying stamps.
I have never bought "The Whole Country is Red" issued on November 25, 1968.
I heard that it will be worth a lot of money later.
It is so cheap now, but it is a 100,000-fold increase.
What kind of thing can increase so much?
"Why do you have to choose the year when writing a letter?"
The staff at the post office slowly flipped through the stamps, and his tone was not very good.
"Our comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative asked me to help bring them, I don't know." Liu Qingqing smiled and waited for the other party to look for them.
"I don't know if there are any more. There are a lot of them for sale. Someone even asked to buy them a few days ago."
When the other party heard that she was from the supply and marketing cooperative, his attitude became much better, and his impatient hands began to pick carefully.
Liu Qingqing suddenly realized that yes, she was not the only one.
She knew of two people, and this place was like a sieve.
Everyone will have a copy by then.
What's the value of it?
These things are valuable because they are rare.
Forget it, let's just go with the flow.
"Then give me something else, all of which are for sticking on envelopes."
"I found one, do you want more?"
"Yes, I want some of the others as well." Liu Qingqing pointed to a few patterns.
Whether it's worth the money, you can't buy a loss with eight cents, and you can't buy a scam with eight cents.
Comrade Song Jinglin, hello!
I have received your letter, and I am relieved to see that you are doing well.
Great leader, the red sun in our hearts, Chairman Mao taught us to strengthen the people's physique and defend the motherland.
The daily exercise habits you wrote in your letter are very good.
I have decided to learn from you.
Improve your physical fitness and get up early every day to exercise.
At the same time, under the same sky.
We can exercise together and respond to the Chairman's call.
I feel very happy.
The great leader Chairman Mao also taught us: Man is iron, rice is steel, and you will be hungry if you don't eat a meal!
I go to the canteen with my comrades every day to get food.
The food in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative is very good, and the craftsmanship of the old teacher in the canteen of the grain station you went to last time is the same level.
By the way, my job has been changed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Like the salesperson at the grain station, it is a profession to serve the people.
The body is the capital of the revolution, you must take good care of your capital.
Try to eat on time.
Sincerely
A revolutionary salute
...
After Liu Qingqing wrote her name and time.
She looked at this thin piece of paper and felt a little guilty.
She folded the letter and quickly stuffed it into the envelope, and she became righteous again.
The letter was written almost like this, and there was nothing wrong with her replying according to it, except that there were a few words missing.
The letters at that time were so subtle, except for one or two words of concern from the quotations.
There were no other words of missing.
It can be seen from the signature.
The full name must also include comrade.
But this is enough, in the innocent era, she was so innocent.
After putting the stamp on it, she just had to throw it into the mailbox when she passed by after get off work.
After the letter was put in, she patted her forehead.
I forgot to write down the supply and marketing cooperative's phone number.
It's rare to have a phone number, even though it's in Director Li's office.
But if it's really urgent, he won't refuse to let anyone answer the phone.
Maybe next time, I have to remember to write it down next time.
Chapter 49 Liu Cai, the buyer
The day Liu Lizhi came back to work.
Liu Cai, the buyer, officially took up the post. Of course, it was impossible for him to drive around in a Liberation.
After Director Li explained the work content, he leaned back in his chair: "This is the situation. Xiao Liu, you do it first, and I will observe."
Liu Qingqing twitched her lips: "Director Li, is there any subsidy for this work of contacting villages? I rely on my legs to run."
"Don't you have a bicycle?" Director Li laughed.
Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Then you have to at least give me a work certificate as a purchasing clerk. No one will believe me if I go there without any words."
"That's no problem." Director Li calmly took out his work permit: "Okay, go ahead."
Liu Qingqing gave him a smile that was uglier than crying, put away her work permit and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Riding out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Qingqing put away her expression.
This job is good. I punch in in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time is up to me.
Without saying anything, the first stop is to go back to Taoshan Village.
But I haven't been there for a while.
She brought some special products of the supply and marketing cooperative to the old lady - dyed cotton cloth and some broken trough cakes.
Ride your own carriage that only consumes one steamed bun in a hundred kilometers.
Stroll to Taoshan Village.
There is no time limit for her task, so why should she be in such a hurry?
After entering the village and passing by the field, the sharp-eyed Liu Mu shouted "Ah".
The people working in the fields around were frightened: "Old Liu, what are you going to do? You've been bitten by a dog."
Liu Mu ignored her and pointed excitedly in the direction of Liu Qingqing: "Help me see, is that my old lady back?"
"She looks a bit like her."
"I don't think so. Look at what she's wearing. She looks like she's doing something."
Liu Mu stared at the figure in the distance. If she wasn't sure, could she still shout it out?
When Liu Qingqing rode closer, Liu Mu had already rushed to the side of the road first: "Old lady, I miss you so much. You've been away for so many days, why don't you come back so I can take a look."
Liu Qingqing grinned. This damn familiar melody.
"Mom, are you getting off work?"
"Not bad, but you're on the side of the road now, otherwise I can't see you. Let me see, is this bike yours?" Liu's mother was very proud. She was just looking around and saw such a big bike.
Liu Qingqing shook her head and lied: "No."
Liu's mother patted the handlebars of the bike: "Don't worry about it, being able to ride back is a skill. Can you take me?" She looked up at Liu Qingqing hopefully.
"Why not? But you have to wait for me to ride before you jump, right?"
"Yes, I can." Liu's mother nodded repeatedly.
Liu Qingqing ran up to get on the bike again. Liu's mother rubbed her hands nervously. When the bike started running, she ran after it. When she jumped on it, she almost jumped crooked and fell to the ground.
"Oh my god, you scared me." Mother Liu patted her chest and cried.
"Mom, you go home directly?" What if you run away in the middle of the work?
"That's impossible. I'll go down now and do it once." This is enough to show off.
Liu Qingqing pointed to the things on the handlebars: "Look, I also brought you trough cakes and cloth. I'll go home and put them in your house."
"Hey, my old lady is promising. You wait for me at home for a while. I'll go back and sell egg pancakes for you."
This is a rare invitation to dinner from Mother Liu.
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation.
...
Mother Liu walked leisurely to the fields.
Her attitude was very arrogant.
"Mrs. Liu, did your Qingcao come back on a bicycle?"
"Did you feel comfortable riding it?"
"I heard it wasn't comfortable. The back seat was so stiff."
Mrs. Liu smiled until her back teeth were exposed: "Is it uncomfortable to ride a bicycle? How shameless can you say that? What's wrong? There's a car!"
"Isn't your Qingcao working in the city? Why did you come back?"
"Come back to see me, old woman, bring me some trough cakes, oh, and a big piece of cloth, torn for me to make new clothes. Tell me, what new clothes do we need when we work in the fields every day?" She said so, but her smile didn't fade at all.
Some people beside her turned around and went back to their own fields, not wanting to see her like this.
Mother Liu waved her hands: "No, no, I'm going to talk to the captain. I have to go home to see what color cloth my daughter bought."
After showing off, Mother Liu left with her hands behind her back.
"Aunt, I miss you so much." Liu Lili ran home as soon as people around her mentioned that Liu Qingqing was back.
She didn't waste any time and finally won the first place in the old Liu family.
Liu Qingqing knew the child's temper. He was a powerful person who could beg for food from her nanny.
His little mouth was sweet.
"Here, you can't eat it when you go to bed at night. You should rinse your mouth after eating it, otherwise your teeth will rot into big black holes."
After scaring the child, Liu Qingqing took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her hand, and took out a paper bag from another pocket, in which a row of small biscuits were neatly arranged.
"Thank you, aunt, you know a lot, I will definitely listen to you. Whatever aunt tells me to do, I will do it." The little flatterer rushed into the house with the things in his arms.
This child also has a hobby of hiding things.
Liu's mother walked home in small steps, and the first thing she did when she entered the door was to collect things.
After taking the things handed over by Liu Qingqing, Caozigao didn't even look at them, her attention was all on the fabric.
The fabric is light grey, but a few pieces are dark grey.
"Why is the color uneven? Have you been cheated?"
Liu Qingqing: "The defective products from the supply and marketing cooperative all have some small defects."
Liu's mother thought quickly: "How can you buy defective products?"
I have only heard of that thing in legends.
Liu Qingqing grinned, "I'm working in the supply and marketing cooperative now."
Liu's mother's eyes were as big as light bulbs: "Oh my dear mother, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of my Liu family."
"It's hard to say, mother, go and have a look when you have time."
Liu's mother slapped her thigh: "Don't talk nonsense."
Liu Qingqing...
"Are you tired of riding so far? Go to my room and lie down for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready." Liu's mother was tired of the cloth, folded it up and stuffed it into the cabinet.
She looked at the trough cake, broke off a bite and put it in her mouth: "Old lady, eat something first."
"Mom, you eat, I'll lie down for a while." She was not tired, but her butt was a little sore from riding a bike.
Chapter 50 Proud
Besides Liu Qingqing who enjoyed the egg-spreading treatment from her mother, the other person at the dinner table was Zhang Dani.
Second sister-in-law Zhang Dani and Liu Dongyuan got married for four years before they got pregnant.
Liu's mother was often bullied by the "enemy" because of this.
Although she didn't care much about grandchildren, that was not something she should worry about.
But if people always said that, she would not be very happy, mainly because she said it didn't matter, but I didn't believe others' words.
This made her very angry.
So Liu's mother was particularly concerned about this baby, no matter what it was, just give birth.
Liu Qingqing didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Dani, and she always kept her head down and didn't say anything.
This time, she noticed a big difference.
Not only was her back straight, but there was also a sense of pride on her face.
Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at her not-so-big belly.
I said this was something worth celebrating, but why are you looking at me with such smugness?
Thinking carefully, not only myself, but even the original body had never offended this second sister-in-law.
The main reason was that the original body only fought with her own mother, and she didn't care about other minions.
After dinner, Zhang Dani pushed the bowl and chopsticks away, and her tone was the loudest that Liu Qingqing had never heard before: "Mom, I'm going to rest in the room for a while. I'm tired this morning and my stomach hurts a little."
Ping Xianghong rolled his eyelids, as if he had never done anything wrong.
Liu Qingqing saw that the eldest sister-in-law's face was red with anger.
Liu's mother was also very upset. It was enough for her to see the look of her second daughter-in-law now. This child is not hers, and she is so pretentious every day.
The three of them quickly cleaned up the table, and the eldest sister-in-law took over the job of washing dishes with a smile: "Qingcao, it's not easy for you to come back, go and talk to your mother for a while."
Liu Qingqing: "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
"Oh, what's the hard work, just a handful of water."
Ping Xianghong has a good impression of her sister-in-law simply because she is good to the child, and she has to give the child some food in private every time she comes back.
Giving in person is different from giving in private.
Giving in private is not for the return gift from them, but for the real intention to be good to the child.
She has to appreciate this.
Liu Qingqing and her mother entered Liu's mother's room.
The two of them lay side by side on the bed for a nap: "Mom, what's wrong with my second sister-in-law?"
"What's wrong? She thinks she can be proud of herself when she gives birth. She hasn't given birth yet, but she's been making trouble for me every day. Who knows what she will be like after the birth." Liu's mother sighed.
"..." Liu Qingqing was speechless. She didn't understand what the other person was thinking.
"Sometimes I think, just like your father-in-law, let them divide the family." The life of the old Song couple is obviously better when they divide the family, but she will be too lonely after the division.
If they live with the old family, then the second daughter-in-law will be very upset, which is equivalent to dividing them alone.
"Then just divide it, let her torment my second brother." Anyway, she thinks that the second brother feels that someone is holding him back, and he is quite free.
Liu Qingqing thought for a while and said, "Why don't you stay with me for a while? You are so old, and you don't expect to earn a few work points at work."
Liu's mother's eyes sparkled: "Okay, old girl, mother also wants to experience city life."
It seems that this idea has been in her mind for a long time.
"Well, I have to go see my mother-in-law and others, I'm leaving first."
"Why don't you sleep for a while before going?" Liu's mother called.
Liu Qingqing shook her head: "If I don't go, the old couple will be waiting anxiously." They are from the same village, and they must go when they know she is back. They have to wait for her at noon.
She carried the gift belonging to the old couple of the Song family and went out of the door with Liu's mother's eyes following her.
...
"Dad and mom, you are in good health recently, right?" As soon as Liu Qingqing entered the yard, the old couple were waiting in the main hall.
Father Song said with a smile: "Very good, very good."
Mother Song silently glared at the old man, but it was very good, and she didn't intend to keep any money.
She also smiled and took the things Liu Qingqing handed over: "It's not easy to come back, why do you bring things?"
Mother Song loves face, and usually she can maintain a relatively friendly level as long as she can't stand it.
"I brought some defective cloth, the material is enough for you and my father to make a new set of clothes. Mother, you have good craftsmanship, and you will definitely be able to make this problem go away." Liu Qingqing shook the cloth and pointed it out to her.
"Oh, there is nothing to see in such a small place. It's very good, the color is also good." Mother Song looked back and forth curiously.
Father Song was satisfied, look, look, life will be much more comfortable.
The old woman didn't know what a good life was at all.
After a brief conversation, Liu Qingqing stood up.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here on official business this time. I have to talk to the village chief later, so I won't stay any longer."
Mother Song was surprised and said, "What official business do you have with the village chief?"
Liu Qingqing smiled slightly and said, "Don't tell me before the deal is done. Dad, I'm leaving first."
"Okay, ride slowly on the way."
She was already familiar with the way to the village chief's house, so she didn't bring anything this time.
She came here on behalf of the supply and marketing cooperative this time, and brought benefits to the village. If she gave gifts, people would look down on her.
She had to be more polite.
After greeting the village chief, Liu Qingqing immediately showed her ID as a buyer of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The village chief's eyes flickered. He thought she was going to ask him for a certificate again, but he didn't expect that she had one this time.
When Liu Qingqing told the village chief about the agricultural and sideline products that the supply and marketing cooperative wanted to purchase, the village chief immediately smiled.
"But uncle, our village alone can't meet the supply and marketing cooperative's volume. Please introduce me to the captain of our West Brigade."
She didn't plan to go to each village by herself.
There were many teams under the West Brigade, and it would take a long time to discuss with each one.
It would be better to go directly to the captain, and he would communicate with other teams.
The village chief nodded repeatedly: "This is a good thing, let's go now."
When he saw the bicycle in the yard when he went out, he stopped.
His eldest son did have one, and he rode it every time he came back from the city.
But can he just ask for a ride on a bicycle?
That would be a big deal.
But today it is not embarrassing, he is on official business.
Liu Qingqing pushed the bicycle and turned around and said, "Village Chief, let me take you."
"Okay, we can go faster by riding a bicycle." The village chief quickly agreed.
