Three bowls of beef noodles cost three yuan, which made Ye Lan feel very distressed. For three yuan, she could buy four kilograms of meat and eat it for a month.
Ye Ning glanced at Ye Lan, who was still distressed, and sighed helplessly, “Just for today, I won’t come next time.”
Ye Lan felt a little embarrassed when she heard what her sister said, “I don’t mean anything else. What I mean is…you are the only one in our family who works, and Xiao An and I are just spending money. If you want to eat again in the future, you can do it yourself.”
“What are you talking about?” Ye Ning was a little angry, “Leave you at home to eat pickles while I eat in a restaurant by myself? Can I swallow it?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.” Seeing that Ye Ning was angry, Ye Lan was a little worried, “I…sister, I really didn’t mean that.”
“I know you don’t mean anything else. Don’t say anything about me making money next time. If you spend money, most of the family’s expenses are now from the money we got from selling the land. All three of us have a share. No one spends it on the other. Don’t let yourself feel that you owe me. We are siblings. After dad is gone, we should unite even more. How chilling are you to say this?”
Ye Lan’s eyes were red, “I know, I was wrong.”
In fact, she and Ye An were very uneasy. After all, their sister was not their parent. No matter how much their parents gave them, they both felt at ease. The more they got from their sister, the more they felt uneasy.
“Don’t think so much. It will be better when you become more successful and take more care of me.” Ye Ning smiled. These two children were too sensible, which was why they were loved by others. If they accepted everything with peace of mind, she would be the one feeling bad.
The first day they arrived in the county town passed like this. Early the next morning, Ye Ning got up and changed into work clothes to prepare for work. Seeing their sister wearing work clothes, Ye Lan and Ye An were both a little envious. In their understanding, workers were the iron rice bowl, and those who ate the country’s bread were particularly proud.
“Xiao Lan, you make your own breakfast, I’ll eat it in the factory.” Ye Ning looked at the sky and realized that it was really inconvenient not to have a watch. She had to go back to buy one, otherwise she wouldn’t dare to sleep in every day.
It was five or six miles from Houxi Road to the pharmaceutical factory, and it took Ye Ning more than half an hour to walk with all her concentration. When she arrived, there were not many people in the factory, so she knew she had arrived early.
“So early.” The gatekeeper asked with a smile.
“That’s right.” Ye Ning complained inwardly. That was because she didn’t have a watch and couldn’t tell the time, so she had to come early to avoid being late.
Breakfast was served in the cafeteria because workers in the factory worked three shifts. Many people who worked the night shift would go to the cafeteria to eat something and then go home to sleep.
Even in the packaging workshop, because she wore a hat and a mask all day long, Ye Ning didn’t know anyone here. It could thus be said that she didn’t know anyone here. She ordered a steamed bun, an egg and a bowl of porridge, and took them to the corner to eat silently.
Some older women saw Ye Ning and asked in a low voice where such a beautiful girl came from. Some of them had sons at home and couldn’t help but feel excited. They all rested when they learned that they were recruited from this group or those who work in the office.
Who didn’t know that the last exam was specially set up for the children of cadres, and the two children of Wei Er who were selected were also related. This was also because the superiors were afraid that the employees below would be dissatisfied and cause trouble when time came, so they only let two of them enter, otherwise there would have been more children of the cadre. Even if they entered, they were assigned to the workshop. Those who could enter the office were all the children of cadres. Ye Ning was so beautiful and she worked in an office. She was either the child of a cadre or had a strong family background. How could they look down on such a girl!
At this time, Deputy Secretary Wang’s son Wang Bin was seen carrying a dinner plate in front of the girl. He was very attentive. After a while, Deputy Secretary Zhang’s son came and greeted the girl as he passed by, indicating that she knew them all.
“Don’t look at it. She is a fairy in the sky and looking down on us mortals.” A chubby woman said with a smile.
“What are you talking about? I just looked at the girl’s beauty and had no other thoughts.” Another slightly thinner woman glared at her.
The fat woman curled her lips and looked at who didn’t know what she was thinking. Her son was an educated youth, and he brought a rural woman with him when he came back from the countryside. She was always dissatisfied, so she thought about replacing the rural wife. So, she would look at anyone who looked better in the factory.
“I really don’t mean anything else. Don’t talk nonsense.” The thin woman said again.
She had been thinking about it just now, but she lost it when she saw Deputy Secretary Wang’s son courting the girl.
Ye Ning didn’t know that so many people were trying to get her idea just now because she was so good at kung fu. She was talking to Yang Wanqing about going to Nancheng.
“So the factory is going to send Director Yang to Nancheng?” Then as Director Yang’s assistant, would she also have the opportunity to go?
“I don’t know, they haven’t decided yet.” Yang Wanqing thought the same way, looking at Ye Ning with bright eyes, “Well… if you really can go, you… can you bring me something?”
Ye Ning couldn’t help but feel funny when she saw her worried look. This was a little girl who had no experience in society.
“If I can go, I will definitely bring it to you. You can write down what you want me to bring later on a piece of paper, but as you said, I can’t bring anything too heavy or too big.” Ye Ning said beforehand.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a little thing.” Yang Wanqing smiled so hard that her teeth were gone.
