Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 238: Deputy Director Bai
Xiao Xue brought her brothers and Wang Zhiyong to the brick factory, the office of Director Bai.
Seeing Director Bai in the office, she felt relieved and knocked on the door.
"Oh, Comrade Xiao Xue, what brings you here? Come in, come in!" Director Bai, seeing Lin Xue at the door, quickly came out to greet her personally.
"Director Bai, how have you been lately?" Xiao Xue greeted him like an adult and went inside with him.
The three people behind her were dumbfounded; they had never seen their big sister speak like this before.
"Good, good! Thanks to you! Everything’s very good! Sit down!" Director Bai couldn’t hide his smile, "If you had come a few days later, you wouldn’t have found me in this office!"
"It seems Director Bai is getting a promotion?" Xiao Xue followed with a smile.
"Exactly! I’ve been slightly promoted! Now I’m the deputy factory director, my appointment will be announced soon!" Deputy Factory Director Bai couldn’t suppress his grin.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xiao Xue clasped her hands.
"Thank you, thank you, it’s all thanks to you..." Before Deputy Factory Director Bai could finish, Xiao Xue gave him a look, and he instantly understood that she didn’t want him to mention that matter in front of these people.
"Comrade Xiao Xue, did you come for something this time? To buy bricks?" He quickly changed the subject.
"Not buying bricks this time. Actually, our team needs a few large vats. I know the brick factory is in the same yard as the vat factory, and I’d like to ask Deputy Director Bai for some help..." Xiao Xue was straightforward, making her request when he was immensely grateful to her.
"No problem, I’ll take you to get the vats later. How many do you need? Do you have a vehicle to take them away?" Deputy Director Bai agreed readily.
"If possible, we’d like to buy ten, we’re using the team’s tractor, but it might not carry all at once, I’ll have to come again tomorrow, I’m sorry for the trouble, Deputy Director Bai!" Since learning about Director Bai’s promotion, Xiao Xue had started calling him Deputy Director, making him feel very pleased. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Sure! No problem, there’s no trouble in that! Vats are hard to buy, but for these vats, I can easily get them for you!" When people are happy, they’re amenable to anything.
The other three were even more dumbfounded.
Who said vats couldn’t be bought? Who said it was like climbing a mountain?
Wasn’t it just a matter of a few words? So simple?
The three walked blankly behind, until Xiao Xue spoke up to let Wang Zhiyong go and drive the tractor over, only then did he come to his senses and went to get the vehicle.
It wasn’t until they brought the vats out that the two younger brothers were still amazed by their big sister’s capability.
Not to mention Wang Zhiyong, who was driving the vehicle cautiously, so slowly it could be compared to a horse-drawn cart.
Going home involved passing through Pingyang Town. By the time they reached Pingyang Town, it was already past lunchtime, and they were all starving. Originally, they planned to eat at the State-Owned Restaurant in Pingyang Town, but there was no food available then. Lin Xue asked Wang Zhiyong to stop, took out the steamed buns they brought in the morning, and the four of them ate one each to fill their stomachs. Luckily, Wang Zhiyong brought water himself, and thus, they had a picnic.
They didn’t want Wang Zhiyong to know they had their own yard in Pingyang Town, otherwise they could have gone home to cook a proper meal.
By the time they reached home, it was already past three o’clock in the afternoon. The journey back wasn’t really bumpy because Wang Zhiyong was worried about damaging the vats, so he drove very slowly, almost like a horse-drawn cart, and took detours whenever they hit rough roads.
Seeing them bring the vats back, Wang Jianjun, who had been waiting at the team office, beamed with joy and busied himself with arrangements.
Tomorrow, Wang Zhiyong only needed to go and bring back the remaining vats, so Xiao Xue briefed him before taking her two brothers back home.
She didn’t bother with other matters, simply waited for Wang Jianjun to apply formally, and once he had everything understood, she would begin making pickles with everyone.
The three were quite exhausted, didn’t have much in their stomachs, drank up all the water they brought, and were walking home at quite a fast pace, both hungry and thirsty.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Xue felt the inconvenience of not having space. Even during the five or six days traveling by train, she hadn’t felt as hungry or thirsty as now. It’s still inconvenient to take others out.
Upon reaching home, the three had a big gulp of water before feeling slightly more comfortable.
After drinking loads of water, they returned to the living room, only then did they notice, besides the family, there was Feng Minghua sitting there!
She was smiling at Xiao Xue, the flattery on her face was plain to see.
"Oh dear, this child, I must say Cuihua! This child is truly capable, look at her, already doing things for the team! She’s amazing, a remarkable factory director!" Although Feng Minghua was being overly flattering, she didn’t dare approach and speak directly to Xiao Xue, she kept praising the kids to Wang Cuihua.
Lin Yun sat aside with noticeable anger, and Lin Xia’s fury was unhidden, staring at Feng Minghua with the look of someone wanting to bite.
Xiao Xue asked Lin Shuang with a look what was going on with the two sisters, Lin Shuang saw her big sister looking at her and quickly stood up and walked out.
Xiao Xue followed unassumingly.
"Big sister, our aunt is too much, she came this morning, saw second sister making clothes, immediately took a piece of your fine silk brought back from the Capital City, claiming it was leftover she could take back to make a handkerchief! But that was the silk second sister saved to make decorations, she had already planned the design, aunt put it in her pocket and wouldn’t take it out! Even worse, she went to the garden, saw our big watermelon, and picked one, but the watermelon isn’t ripe! At noon, mom wanted to cook, she followed into the kitchen, didn’t wash her hands and directly reached into the cured meat jar to take some to eat! Not to mention rummaging through our room, took third sister’s dress saying it was old and give it to her daughter to wear! But that’s the sister outfit second sister made for third sister! All four of us have a set of that!" Lin Shuang had held it in all day, seeing her big sister return, her little mouth couldn’t stop recounting Feng Minghua’s wrongdoings.
"Did she say why she came? Why hasn’t she left after staying all day?" Xiao Xue also got angry listening. Give an inch and they take a mile, yesterday they shouldn’t have fed them, now they even show up at the door behaving like this?
"Said she was looking for you for something, stuck around at home insisting on waiting for you to come back! Even saying openly and indirectly grandma is shameless! Talking about how grandma didn’t raise a son for even a day yet has the face to let him support her! Mom scolded her yet she said mom didn’t appreciate her, speaking for her paying no heed. It was enough to make anyone angry! Grandma was upset enough to secretly wipe tears!" Lin Shuang went on detailing the troubling events of the day, seemingly endless.
"Alright! I got it! Go on! Go in, help grandma soothe the younger siblings, let her rest for a while!" Xiao Xue took her sister back into the house.
In the living room, Feng Minghua was unaware of Xiao Xue’s displeasure, still complementing her enthusiastically.
Lin Yun’s unhappy expression was noticed by her two younger brothers, with third sister being bold and unattached, combined with their dislike for their aunt, it was normal not to put on a pleasant face, but second sister would hardly behave rudely; at most, she wouldn’t engage with those she disliked, but wouldn’t show displeasure like this.
The two brothers sensing something amiss, originally about to return to their room, chose to sit down beside the two sisters, glaring at the unpleasant woman opposite.
