Chapter 114 An eyesore
It snowed heavily for four or five days. Su Qingyue felt heavy and rested at home for several days.
On this day, when Su Qingyue got up, she saw the white snow outside the window, and there were two stupid big snowmen piled up together in the middle of the yard.
The snowman's nose is made of carrots. There was still heavy snow in the morning, and only a little bit of the tip was left on the carrots.
"It's too cold. Go back to bed and stay there."
As soon as Pei Huaiye spoke, a strong air of air came out of his mouth. He carried the brazier and led Su Qingyue back to the bedroom.
"It's too cold, just stay in the house and don't go out. I steamed egg custard and heated up steamed buns for breakfast."
Pei Huaiye carefully helped Su Qingyue back to bed, and then went to the kitchen to bring breakfast.
He put a small square table on the bed, then brought the food to it, and the two of them had breakfast together, heads leaning against each other.
The egg custard was drizzled with sesame oil, the steamed buns were piping hot and full of fillings, and what I drank was red dates and multigrain porridge.
Pei Huaiye gave Su Qingyue all the red dates in the bowl.
"I went around the processing plant this morning and everything is fine."
Su Qingyue dug out a large spoonful of egg custard for Pei Huaiye. She looked out the window, "It's snowing, so we have to dig holes in the ground to store winter vegetables."
"I have made arrangements with the captain, and there are not many people digging holes in the ground. Everyone has sent the radishes and cabbages in the fields to the processing plant."
Shuangshui Village has had a good winter relying on the Qingyue Processing Factory. The factory harvests cabbages, radishes, and sweet potatoes. Now it can still make bean sprouts. As long as every household is diligent, they can earn at least three to five yuan a month.
Not to mention more, all saving money to send their children to school.
"That's good. How are the sales of tempeh and bean paste?" Some time ago, Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative launched tempeh and bean paste. People in the city didn't dare to buy it when they saw that a small bottle cost a few cents. They thought it was too expensive.
Some master chefs from state-owned restaurants bought it and cooked it. Everyone praised the deliciousness of the food. Master Liu and Master Wang said it was from Qingyue Processing Factory and sold by Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Many wealthy people went to Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative to purchase, which suddenly boosted the sales of tempeh and bean paste.
Su Qingyue smiled after hearing this, "Let's stir-fry meat for lunch, and add a little black bean sauce."
She had an unusually good appetite when she was pregnant. Everything tasted delicious and she wanted to eat everything.
Pei Huaiye looked at her like a greedy little pig and couldn't help but smile and pinch her face, "I'll make it for you later."
"Is it time for Qingxi and Zhuangzhuang to take a vacation?"
"Well, we have a holiday after the exam. Today I will go to the county to pick them up. By the way, I will send a letter to Master."
Speaking of writing letters, Su Qingyue thought of her adoptive mother's family in Beijing.
"I'll write a letter, and you can send it to my adoptive mother for me. No, I have to write three letters, as well as Mrs. Yan and Uncle Shen."
When she got married, she was given a lot of gifts, and when the new year came, she also wanted to return the gift of thanks. "Go to the factory to pack four portions of soy products, tempeh, bean paste, tofu skin and dried tofu. If you can save these, give them to the master." , adoptive mother, Mrs. Yan and Uncle Shen all want to send it.”
"Well, I'm in the city to see if there are any other souvenirs that I can bring with me." Pei Huaiye put on a thick cotton-padded jacket and filled Su Qingyue with a hot water bottle before going out.
"You take a nap. If you're hungry, there are steamed buns and flower rolls in the steamer. Make some malted milk and drink it yourself."
"Well, be careful when the road is slippery."
Pei Huaiye smiled and kissed Su Qingyue before leaving.
In the afternoon, Su Qingyue got up and went to the processing plant. Unexpectedly, she met Su Qianqian drying black bean sauce.
"Qingyue, you are here."
Su Qianqian held her belly while bending down to gently turn the tempeh with a tool. His movements are quite skillful, and it doesn’t look like he’s just here at all.
I didn't come to the processing plant for four or five days, so they recruited Su Qianqian to come in?
Su Qingyue felt uncomfortable, but it didn't show on her face. She smiled faintly and continued walking. Kong Shan and Zheng Hui felt very guilty, their eyes were erratic and they didn't dare to look at Su Qingyue.
Su Qingyue saw it and said nothing. No wonder her eldest brother and sister-in-law always came to the house in the past two days and told her to relax.
The new recruits work quickly and take every task seriously. Everyone greeted Su Qingyue with a smile.
Su Qingyue went straight to Xiang Jianming's office.
"Qingyue?"
Xiang Jianming was staring at what he was writing in the report in his hand when he saw Su Qingyue and stood up.
"Sit down quickly, I have something to tell you."
Su Qingyue's eyes were a little cold and a little aggrieved. The conflict between her and Su Qianqian was not clear to outsiders, but the village chief knew it.
Now that we know why we let her into the factory, isn't this an insult?
When Xiang Jianming saw Su Qingyue's eyes were red, he was so frightened that his voice became tense.
"Girl Qingyue, please listen to what I have to say first. I've been worried about this for the past few days and haven't been able to sleep well."
"Let me ask you, do you know that your adoptive mother knows the county magistrate's wife?"
Facing Xiang Jianming's question, Su Qingyue shook her head in confusion.
Tell Jianming.
Four or five days ago, he and the team leader delivered goods to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Zhang Dongfeng kept him, saying that the supply and marketing cooperative's benefits were great thanks to the Qingyue Processing Factory. He wanted to treat him, the director, to dinner, and also said that he would introduce important people. Get to know him.
Xiang Jianming went there happily, and really saw the big shot, County Magistrate Jiang, and the county magistrate's wife Ding Shuiqin. Su Qianqian and Shen Xunbao were sitting next to Ding Shuiqin.
During the dinner, everyone praised Su Qingyue's intelligence and courage, and the topic naturally turned to the recruitment of advanced collectives and processing plants.
"At that time, Su Qianqian smiled and said that she wanted to work in the processing factory and contribute to the village. She also said that she was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and asked me if I would accept people."
"Qingyue, Ding Shuiqin kept staring at me at that time. I really couldn't say no in front of the county magistrate."
Moreover, the selection of the advanced brigade depends on the attitude of the county magistrate.
How could it be possible to offend people at this time?
Su Qingyue completely understood in her heart, but she didn't expect that her adoptive mother still had this kind of relationship and left it to her biological daughter.
After all, there is a difference between relatives.
Su Qingyue still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"So that's it. Captain Xiang, I don't blame you."
Xiang Jianming frowned, "The arrangements for Su Qianqian are all easy tasks. I asked Kong Shan and Zheng Hui to keep an eye on people. People will go through the process of drying her black bean sauce again. Don't worry."
"From now on, just pretend that she doesn't exist and just live with your face."
Xiang Jianming was inoculating Su Qingyue in advance. After all, Su Qianqian had taken advantage of the county magistrate's wife. If she really wanted to do something in the future, someone would know the truth.
"Well, she'd better not cause trouble, otherwise I won't be polite!"
It was still snowing heavily outside, and it was getting late when Su Qingyue came out of the office.
Su Qianqian also left work, "Qingyue, I'm going to be a guest at Aunt Ding's house tomorrow. Shall we go together?"
She invited Su Qingyue with a smile, and her tone was innocent, "Aunt Ding is my mother's college classmate. Oh, look, I may have forgotten this, are you afraid you don't know?"
She knew that Su Qingyue had just come out of Xiang Jianming's office and had already learned everything.
