Chapter 33: Sending Clothes (Happy Chinese New Year)
In the morning, Changsheng got up at almost 6 o'clock, it was still dark, and the surroundings were quiet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info used to wake up early in the morning at home, so it's not difficult for him to get him up early now.
I turned on the stove, boiled some rice and sweet potatoes, and then went to wash. The water for cooking rice started boiling before going to bed last night, and it was boiled just in the morning, so when Changsheng washed up, the rice was cooked.
At this time, the dawn gradually broke, the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray, and the eastern sky was floating with a white belly, and the sky gradually brightened.
Changsheng walked into the bedroom, saw the fragrance of Mulan's sleep, and was reluctant to wake her up and let her sleep more. After eating the meal simply and quickly, turn off the stove and put the rice by the stove to warm it, so that the rice will not be cold, and you can eat it directly when Mulan gets up, so you don't have to trouble reheating it.
Changsheng quickly cleaned up and was about to go out, he was going to catch the early train, Mulan was still asleep when he left, and after Changsheng gently left a kiss on her forehead, he walked out and closed the courtyard door to walk to the station.
When I passed the hotel in front, it was still very quiet inside, and I couldn't see the shadow of Haiyang, so I guess I hadn't gotten up yet.
In the early morning, the streets are quiet. At this time, everything in the street was shrouded in soft morning light, and the willow trees beside the road lowered their heads and showered softly in the morning light; The tall poplar tree is like the stretched arms of a sturdy youth, what a beautiful summer morning.
The silvery dawn gradually showed a brown red, and the morning glow reflected on the window sticks of thousands of households. There aren't many people on the morning bus, and they're all in a hurry to get to work or maybe have something urgent to get on the bus.
There are not many people in the morning, the road is not blocked, the car is faster than last night, Changsheng only took an hour to get to the factory, half an hour ahead of schedule, but at this time the factory has begun to come in one after another.
Changsheng didn't come to their carpentry group first, Lao Song came earlier, he lived around here, he didn't have to catch a car, he walked slowly in the morning. Seeing Changsheng come in, both of them greeted each other. Because they haven't gone to work yet, the two of them are chatting there.
During the chat, Changsheng learned that Lao Song is forty years old this year and has been working here for ten years. His family lives near the factory, so it is very convenient to come to work. He has two children at home and his wife works on a farm. So Changsheng asked him if there was any house to rent in the vicinity, and Lao Song readily agreed to help Changsheng inquire.
The two chatted for a while, and the others came one after another, so Changsheng greeted them one by one, and slowly picked up their tools to go to work.
Today, I heard Lao Guan say in the chatter that Boss Dong is leaving again recently and is not here, and they went to the market to see the timber, and they obviously relaxed a lot.
However, Lao Guan said that the boss's daughter will come in the next two days and will stay here to work in the future.
Everyone was surprised to hear it, but Lao Guan didn't joke. It doesn't matter if Changsheng hears it, who is here doesn't affect him, he is a small person, he doesn't understand anything when he first comes, he can just gossip about the boss's family.
A few of them were still talking about the boss's daughter, but Changsheng ignored it and did things silently alone. He is still thinking about how to improve his carving skills, Lao Guan's craftsmanship he also saw yesterday, sighing to himself, sad that he can be the head of this, it is said that Lao Guan can get the highest salary in the whole factory, he has to learn from him. Don't waste time from now on, and study harder than others.
When Mulan woke up in the morning, she found that Changsheng was no longer in the house, thinking that she must have gone to work.
When he got up, he saw that the rice was cooked and put it by the stove, and he suddenly felt very guilty about Changsheng, he worked very hard, and he had to get up early and help him cook the rice. Mulan doesn't know why she has been sleeping so hard lately, she rarely slept late and couldn't sleep in the past, it seems that she really has to go to see her body in a few days.
Mulan had breakfast, washed the pots and bowls, and then took the vegetable basket alone and planned to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Now she is familiar with the vegetable market, and it is no problem to go alone. When she arrived at the vegetable market, she also had a luxury today, and bought a small piece of meat, but this month's meat ticket ran out, but fortunately, at the end of the month, it was not two days before the next month, and it is said that the Changsheng factory will also issue meat tickets when the time comes. Then I went and bought a few eggs. Changsheng has just come to work, and he must have been working hard these days, and he wants to make up for him.
I bought a few more cheap dishes, and went straight back after buying them. When I got home, I put the vegetable basket away, and took out the clothes that Changsheng had changed yesterday and washed them in the yard. After drying, she took out the soles of her shoes that had not been stored yesterday and hurried them, and in the afternoon she had to go to the hotel in front to help with the work.
Although Aunt Lin and Li Haiyang both said that they didn't need to go, after all, they lived in other people's houses, and they refused to ask for any rent, and if they didn't go to the hotel to help, she and Changsheng would not be at ease. Changsheng said it last night. The factory is more remote, there are not as many houses here, and it may take a while to find the right house. So they're going to stay here for a while.
Mulan also likes to live here, after all, this is in the city, it is very convenient to buy things, and she is also familiar with Aunt Lin, and she gets along with them very well, and she will be reluctant to leave her.
Mulan came to the front hotel, Lin Xiangmei was the only one at the counter, Haiyang was generally not in the hotel during the day, either to buy goods or to go to the market to look around.
Mulan originally said hello to Lin Xiangmei and wanted to go upstairs directly to help Sister-in-law Tian work, but was stopped by Lin Xiangmei.
"Mulan, you come to help every day, and the two of you refuse to get paid, Aunt Lin doesn't want to go, this bag of clothes is some clothes that Aunt Lin and the neighbors can't wear, give it to you to wear, otherwise Auntie will be embarrassed to let you help again."
Lin Xiangmei took out a package and said that there was a set of clothes she wore when she was young, and her figure when she was young was about the same as the current Mulan, plus a few days ago, there was a neighbor who was about the same age as Mulan, and he bought a few clothes but couldn't wear them, and he felt that they didn't look good, so he gave Aunt Lin a set and asked her to take them to Mulan.
Mulan didn't want to take it, but she couldn't resist Aunt Lin's kindness and push, so she accepted the burden.
Lin Xiangmei asked Changsheng how his work was, Mulan nodded and said, Lin Xiangmei knew that Changsheng could adapt to the work there, she knew that Mulan couldn't speak, and she couldn't ask too many words, so she asked her to take the clothes to the backyard first and then come to help with the work.
After Mulan took the package to the backyard, she untied it and looked at the clothes inside the package, there were two pieces of clothing inside, and both pants were very new, which was the style that everyone wears now. Mulan took one and tried it, it seemed to be a little wider, but she was good at needlework and could wear it, these clothes were much better than the ones she was wearing, Aunt Lin must have thought she was not wearing well and gave her a few clothes, Mulan thanked her very much, put the clothes away, and went to the front to help with the work.
Lin Xiangmei just shook her head when she saw her, these two people are really kind people, and they don't want to take advantage of others. didn't charge them rent, Mulan came over to help with the work every day when she was free, and said that she didn't have to do it a few times, but Mulan insisted on doing so, and later told Haiyang that Haiyang told her not to think too much, they did it for peace of mind, and owing others favors made them even more embarrassed. When they arrived, they compensated Mulan elsewhere, so Lin Xiangmei thought that Mulan wore those very old and patched clothes every day, so she wanted to buy two for her, afraid that she would know that she was buying and would not want them, so she took a set of clothes that she couldn't wear before, and bought another set and put them inside.
Lin Xiangmei is now more and more fond of Mulan, and she now hopes that Haiyang can also find such a wife, then their Li family will be blessed.
