Chapter 71 Black-bone Chicken Soup
In the dream, she returned to her previous life and returned to her warm bedroom.
The bedroom is still the same, with posters of her favorite idols on the walls and bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and dolls.
My mother pushed open the door and put a bowl of hot chicken soup on the head of her bed. Then she sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her hair with her hand, and said softly: "My baby, get up. Drink some hot soup and go to sleep."
She opened her eyes and saw her mother's eyes full of love.
"Mom." Guan Youshuang shouted and woke up.
She was surprised to find that the smell of chicken soup was actually wafting in the room.
She turned it over, and Wang Huiying was looking at her with a smile.
"Are you awake? Get up and drink some chicken soup."
Guan Youshuang looked at the time and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.
She was in a trance. The dream just now was too real. She was immersed in missing her mother for a while. She felt sad and couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
Wang Huiying sighed and said, "What's wrong? Are you still sad about your mother?"
She shook her head, squeezed a smile and said, "I'm fine. "
"Well, drink the chicken soup while it's hot. You haven't slept well these days, so you need to replenish your body."
Wang Huiying brought the chicken soup over.
Guan Youshuang took it and saw that it was black-bone chicken soup with floating oily flowers, and a few small red dates were added to it.
In addition to large chunks of chicken, two large chicken legs are clearly visible.
She couldn't help but think that she had been in the Guan family for more than 20 years and had never seen a chicken leg. She occasionally killed chickens at home, and the two chicken legs would always belong to Guan Lei and Guan Ruijie.
"Mom, where did this black-bone chicken come from?"
"I bought it from Xiaoling. Her natal family raises this kind of chicken. I heard it is very good for the body. She went back to her natal family a few days ago. , I asked her to help bring one.”
"Mom, why did you serve me all the chicken legs? Xiaoyun and Yuanyuan are both in school, and they should replenish their bodies."
Wang Huiying waved her hand and said, "What meat can't they eat? The black-bone chicken is specially bought for you. Don’t think too much, just eat it quickly.”
“Mom, I can’t finish all the chicken legs.”
“ I've already eaten. Eat quickly. How can you build a factory if your body can't recuperate? Oh, by the way, Er Rong just called and said that the matter of applying for building a factory and finding the engineering team should be left to him. You should have a good rest at home these days."
Guan Youshuang had asked beforehand that the procedures for building a factory are very complicated, and if it doesn't matter, they may not handle it for you.
Since Gu Errong can help, that would be great. She can just enjoy her retirement life for a few days.

The sunset is like blood.
Zhao Yang stood in front of the half-completed building, holding the yellowed project contract in one hand and holding the cigarette butt tightly in the other hand, with anxiety and exhaustion in his eyes.
He stood in front of the half-built building, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
This is the result of the hard work of him and his brothers in the past year, but now it is about to be stranded because of a broken capital chain.
The scattered bricks, iron bars and mechanical equipment are all out of reach now.
He stepped over the steel bars and walked towards the small office opposite. It was the temporary office of the project leader, Manager Liu Fuzhou. It was built of color steel plates. After knocking on the door several times, a slightly hoarse old voice came from inside, calling him to come in.
Liu Fuzhou is about forty years old and a native of the county.
Wearing a slightly old suit, he was lying back on a chair with his eyes closed and concentrating. He was unshaven and had heavy dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been punched several times. He looked exhausted.
The small table was filled with messy documents, and the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.
"Manager Liu."
Liu Fuzhou straightened up and saw a look of escape in his eyes when he saw it was Zhao Yang.
"Manager Liu, is there really nothing we can do?" Zhao Yang paused, "We have been repairing that property for more than a year. It would be a pity that it is unfinished like this."
Liu Fuzhou raised his head, blinked his eyes several times, and sighed: "Mr. Zhao, you also know the market situation. The capital chain is broken, and I can't get the money. I'm really, really powerless."< br>
Zhao Yang took a breath, nodded and said: "Then please, Manager Liu, find a way to get the wages of the workers. They have not received any money for several months."
Zhao Yang paused for a moment because he calculated the last time the project was paid.
In fact, his dozen or so workers have not received any money for almost a year, and all their wages have been spent by Zhao Yang!
Fortunately, he is good at winning people's hearts. Whenever the workers bring up the issue of wages, he will give them a few dollars to appease them.
And he always greets them and takes care of them in various ways.
In short, nothing has been revealed until now.
Liu Fuzhou smiled bitterly and said: "If I can get my wages, what do I have to worry about?"
"But the workers are impatient to wait. For them, this money is everything in their lives. Ah." Zhao Yang's voice began to rise, "I've put in a lot of pressure, but I can't hold it in!"
Liu Fuzhou waved his hand: "Don't worry, I don't want to treat you badly. I’m also thinking of a way. But as you can see in this market, it’s not easy for anyone.”
Zhao Yang's heart sank.
He tightened the contract in his hand, as if it was his last life-saving straw, but he also knew that if he really had no money, the contract would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.
He put on a smile and said: "Manager Liu, we have been friends for many years after all. You have to give me an explanation!"
Liu Fuzhou stood up and paced up and down on the ground. , then turned around and spread his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao, I have no choice but to do this. No one expected this situation to happen. I also have a family to support, and you also know that there is someone behind me..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yang suddenly burst out: "I didn't know you were in trouble! But at least you still have an office, you can sit and blow the fan every day, and you can still get some salary.
"Where are my brothers? They all come from rural areas, and there are no seedlings growing in the few acres of thin fields at home. They all rely on these wages to survive, but now, they can't even go back home! Don't dare to reply! "
Liu Fuzhou's face became ugly. He knew that Zhao Yang was telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do.
He picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Yang. He said: "Gong Zhao, don't be excited. I'll think of a solution for this matter. Don't be anxious. There will always be a solution. "
Zhao Yang raised the contract in his hand and said: "It will take one month at most. If the salary issue still cannot be resolved by then, I will have no choice but to go to the Public Security Bureau. We will follow the contract then. Go ahead and pay whatever you have to. "
"Okay, one month. Liu Fuzhou pinched his eyebrows and repeated, "Just one month." ”
After coming out of the manager's office, Zhao Yang took a breath. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the unfinished building. He kicked away the small stones at his feet and cursed: "Go to hell!"
