Chapter 344: Mother's Family
"Erheng, the child's matter is the top priority of our family, you helped us solve it, it is also appropriate to invite you to a meal, I won't say anything about inviting you to dinner now, I will invite you to our house for a drink, what do you think?"
"Today is Friday the second of the two, right?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow is Sunday."
"Okay, you said everything about this, I won't know how to lift it if I don't go, and at noon the day after tomorrow, I'll definitely arrive." Li Heng thought about it and nodded.
"Cheng, it's okay, no regrets."
"I'm sure I'll be able to eat rice."
"You have to bring Xiaoya, and you two will come together."
"That's a must."
Zhang Lianshun's son had already gone to the Agricultural Tax Cadre School in mid-September to officially report to school, and the child was properly arranged, which solved the important matter on the minds of the two of them at once.
For this reason, Lao Zhang wanted to invite Li Heng to dinner several times, but he was rejected for various reasons, and it seems that it is not possible to go this time.
"Okay, then it's decided, you go around slowly, I'll go to the logistics office to have a look."
As soon as Zhang Lianshun left here, Li Heng was about to go to the front hall to have a look, and Zhao Mingxia walked over.
I don't know what the situation is, this old woman who usually speaks very straight, but today she looks a little twisted, as if she is embarrassed to say something.
"Director Mingxia, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm uncomfortable with you doing this."
Seeing that she was talking for a long time and just didn't talk about business, Li Heng said helplessly.
"Ugh...... I'd like to see if you have any extra food stamps here, and if so, can you sell me some."
Hearing him ask like this, Zhao Mingxia bit her teeth and told her purpose.
"Food stamps? What do you want food stamps for?"
I can't help but be curious, this woman is alone in the family, she has a ration of food, and she usually eats three meals on the stove, so she doesn't cook it herself at all, so it is impossible to have food at all.
Although she donated all the shares of the previous department store for free, it seems that there is one less way to get money, but the above actually gave her a lot of rewards, including cash and a lot of scarce tickets, which is why she can feed the dog with milk powder.
For this alone, Li Heng felt that she was a little extravagant, and now she actually said that she wanted to buy some food stamps, which sounded a bit fantastical.
"I...... Oh, in fact, I didn't ask for it, it's my mother's younger brother, he is in the countryside, this year because of the drought, the harvest is really not good, his eldest daughter-in-law just gave birth to a pair of twins, and the family is almost the same, there is really no way, no, please come to my door."
Li Heng's eyes were round at the moment, and his mouth was half-open, as if he had heard something fantastical.
"Director, what's your expression?"
"No, Director Mingxia, you still have a family?"
As soon as the words came out, Li Heng knew that it was a bad dish, how could he speak in such a way, so he hurriedly raised his hand and waved: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've just never heard about your mother's family, so ......."
......Seeing his eagerness, Zhao Mingxia was directly happy, she shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I used to because of my identity, my mother's family really didn't recognize me as a daughter, if it wasn't for the fact that life really couldn't go on this time, I guess, my eldest brother wouldn't come to the city to find me."
When she said this, although she said it with a smile, Li Heng could still see the sadness that flashed in her eyes.
But the road under your feet is your own choice, whether it is bitter or sweet, you have to know for yourself.
"How much do you want?"
"Just have a thirty or fifty pound. Originally, I wanted to give my eldest brother some money and let him find a way to exchange food stamps by himself, but you also know that this is not in accordance with the law after all, and I am worried that he will accidentally bump into someone else's hands, and this will hurt him."
"Okay, you come to my office in the afternoon."
"Thank you, Director."
"It's a little bit
It's just busy, nothing to thank. By the way, how is the registration for the Chinese New Year party going?"
"Hehe, it's rare that your leader can still remember this stubble."
"Look at what you said, how can I not remember the work I arranged, the bureau also allocated 500 yuan for our activity, you go back to Lao Wan to get it."
"That's just right, I can just give some subsidies to the people who are rehearsing hard or something. The registration situation is not bad, and I also let them perform a short part of some programs, to be honest, I really didn't expect that there are so many talented people in our department store employees and their families."
"How's the status of family registration?"
"It's not bad, so far ten family members have signed up, and the show that signed up is really good."
"Okay, thank you Director Mingxia."
"Well, there's nothing hard or hard about work." Zhao Mingxia waved her hand indifferently: "I said director, you promised everyone that you would perform a show when the time comes, but I haven't seen you sign up until now, what is your situation?"
"You don't have to worry about me here, you definitely won't drop the chain."
"Cut, don't brag, I asked Xiaoya, you don't have any movement at home, don't be laughed at then."
"Don't worry, it's all here." Li Heng raised his hand and tapped his temple.
"When I was a company commander in the army before, I would definitely not be ashamed of organizing the soldiers of the whole company to sing with other companies."
Looking at the confident and cheerful Li Heng, Zhao Mingxia didn't know how to drop it, and suddenly felt a little hot on her body, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to look at the man in front of her again.
"You can just be prepared, what, director, I still have some business, go over first."
"Uh......"
Looking at Zhao Mingxia turned around and left a little out of shape, as well as the slightly flustered back, Li Heng had a feeling of confusion, okay, what is this, he looked down at his clothes, and then turned his head to look around, everything is as usual, what the hell is this.
He shook his head and didn't think about it again, and didn't continue to wander around the courtyard, but turned and walked outside the gate.
Further north along the road, on both sides of the road are several century-old shops, which are already run by the public at this time, selling cloth shoes, selling dim sum, roast duck shops, tailor shops, braised pork, and old restaurants.
It's a pity that it seems to be a little difficult to find the glory of the past.
It's not that things are not good enough, but that people really don't have extra money in their pockets, and at the moment when every penny has to be carefully calculated, and they can't wait to break it in half to spend, few people choose to come to the restaurant, and few people buy ready-to-wear shoes.
Li Heng, who was standing on the side of the road, sighed, this kind of life will last a long time, and how many century-old brands can survive it?
