The machinery factory is quite generous; distributing these items must cost a lot, right? As a state-owned enterprise, it must have over ten thousand employees, Ye Fangfei remarked.
Hehe, what are you thinking? Ordinary people definitely wouldn't distribute so many items.
These things are only given out at the factory director level. I helped out, and they gave me a share according to the highest rank.
But you’re not wrong; the machinery factory does distribute more than other factories to ordinary workers.
They also receive two pounds of flour, two pounds of rice, two pounds of vegetable oil, one pound of brown sugar, and half a pound each of sunflower seeds and sugar cubes.
These are all genuinely good items. With these, we can certainly have a good year ahead, Tang Zhicheng said cheerfully.
The machinery factory is quite generous; you just helped move some things, and they gave you so much. With this white flour, I’ll make dumplings for you tomorrow. Ye Fangfei said.
Sure, I really want to eat dumplings. We have plenty of meat at home; let’s make some cabbage and meat dumplings.
Make sure to prepare more; let’s invite my parents over to eat as well.
And with the white flour, don’t worry about it, my dear. Once we finish this batch, I’ll find a way to buy some more.
Just right, one of the workshops at the flour factory asked me to bring some items for them. In the future, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to help us get some flour, Tang Zhicheng said.
This time when I went to the flour factory to fetch flour for the machinery factory, I got to know Ren from one of the workshops there.
His son is getting married soon, and the bride insists on having a sea coat. Apparently, one of her distant cousins has one.
However, they searched through department stores and couldn’t find any. While waiting for the truck to load, he chatted with Tang Zhicheng and learned that he often goes to the sea, so he asked him for help.
Tang Zhicheng thought that making more friends could open more doors. Helping out with this small matter could also create good relations, so he agreed.
That sounds great! To be honest, I really can’t get used to coarse grains; eating them occasionally is fine, but having them every meal is unbearable for me, Ye Fangfei said.
Tang Zhicheng didn’t mind what they ate as long as it filled his stomach. After all, having experienced those three years of hardship where even tree bark was edible made him less picky about food.
He wondered how his wife managed back then; she couldn’t even accept eating coarse grains now.
But that’s okay; even if he didn’t have much ability, he could still ensure his wife had at least one meal of fine grains each day.
Dear wife, eat whatever you want. If we run out of fine grains, just tell me and I’ll find a way, Tang Zhicheng said.
Hmm, I know. You look after our little moon tonight; let’s have pancakes for dinner. Ye Fangfei looked at the flour and craved pancakes again.
After dinner, they tucked their daughter in and enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep.
The next day, as Tang Zhicheng was leaving, he asked Ye Fangfei to make extra dumplings. Before heading to work, he planned to stop by the Ye family and let them know he would be coming over for lunch.
"Dear, please add more meat to the dumplings. I’ll go tell my parents first before heading to work," Tang Zhicheng said before leaving.
"Alright, you go ahead. Besides the pork and cabbage filling, I’ll make some with mushrooms too," Ye Fangfei replied.
"Do as you see fit; there are still plenty of mushrooms. Make sure to save some for my parents," Tang Zhicheng reminded her.
"Got it, hurry along now," Ye Fangfei assured him.
This time, the package from their hometown arrived a bit late. Inside, along with mushrooms, dried black fungus, and sweet potatoes, there were also little clothes and shoes for Xiao Yueyue.
The letter clearly stated that the little clothes were made by the old lady and the shoes were a gift from Zhang Man.
Wang Zhaodi remained as stingy as ever, sending nothing at all.
Perhaps Wang Zhaodi felt superior because she had two sons while the Tang family only had three brothers, which made her somewhat condescending toward her two sisters-in-law.
The letter also mentioned that they originally wanted to make a little outfit for Xiao Yueyue but lacked suitable fabric. Now that they had some, they hurriedly made it and sent it over.
Ye Fangfei scoffed at these explanations; the lack of fabric was merely an excuse.
