The factory wanted to send people to Nancheng for work. This was definitely a good opportunity, which was equivalent to using public funds to travel. Many people were trying hard to go to Nancheng. Ye Ning saw that Director Yang had not made any move, so it was estimated that it would not be her turn this time. Then it was even more impossible for her.
She originally thought that if she could go to Nancheng, she would buy a watch there, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t go. In her previous life, she had basically visited all the major tourist attractions in the country, and she was not at all anxious about whether she could go to Nancheng.
Director Yang was very satisfied to see that Ye Ning had been working steadily these days. She was about to get off work that day when she asked Ye Ning to stay behind.
“Have you heard about the business trip to Nancheng next week?” Director Yang asked.
“I’ve heard of it.” Ye Ning nodded honestly.
“Is it okay for you to go on a business trip for a week next week?” Director Yang asked again.
Ye Ning’s heart moved. Did this mean that she also wanted her to go on the business trip?
“Yes.” Ye Ning nodded quickly.
“Okay, you go home and tell your family that you will go on a business trip with me next week. The time is tentatively scheduled for about a week. If you have nothing to do, go back.” Director Yang waved her hand for Ye Ning to leave.
Unexpectedly, Director Yang was actually on the business trip list. Ye Ning actually didn’t understand. If she was meeting with suppliers, they should bring purchasing and technical department people. When meeting customers, they should bring sales and technical department people. Director Yang was the packaging workshop director. What was the packaging workshop director doing there?
Returning home with doubts, she saw Ye Lan planting vegetables. After several days of hard work, she finally sorted out the front and back yards and the foundation of the house. After another day of watering and cultivating, the vegetables were planted today.
“Sister, come and see the vegetables I grew.” Ye Lan wanted to pull Ye Ning, but after looking at the mud on her hands, she retracted them.
“The planting is really good.” The holes were dug row after row, and it looked like they were made by a veteran. “I brought back vegetables, and you come and eat first. It will get cold for a while.”
Hearing that his sister had brought back vegetables, Ye An’s eyes were filled with tears and his body lightened up immediately. He had been in the county town for almost a week, and his sister every now and then brought back food. Every time, she only had meat and vegetables, and he had gained weight.
If Ye Ning knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh at him. He was as skinny as a monkey, but he thought he was fat.
“Sister, why did you bring it back? Did you have enough for lunch?” Ye Lan was afraid that Ye Ning would bring the food home and the remaining meal tickets would not be enough for herself.
“That’s enough.” Ye Ning opened the lunch box, which was full of braised pork, and Ye An swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Ye Lan also took a small sip of saliva on the side. Compared with the fish and chicken wings the previous two times, the braised pork was more attractive.
“The rice is ready, I’m going to stir-fry some more.” Ye Lan quickly lit the fire to stir-fry. Ye Ning went into the house and changed out of her work clothes. When she came out, she was ready to eat.
He held a piece of braised pork with his mouth full and felt very satisfied. He had dreamed of eating meat every week, but he never expected that it would really come true.
“There is something I want to tell you.” Ye Ning saw her sister and brother stop and said with a smile: “It’s not a big deal, just eat. I received a notice from the director today, asking me to go on a business trip with her next week. The business trip to Nancheng may take a week or more. I will come back in ten days at most. We will leave the day after tomorrow. You guys need to take care of yourselves next week. If you have anything, ask Aunt Lan Ying next door.”
Ye Ning picked up the vegetables and ate them. After taking a bite, she looked up and saw both her siblings looking at her with wide eyes.
“What are you both looking at me for?”
“Sister, you’re going to Nancheng?” Ye Lan asked carefully.
“Is it that Nancheng?” Ye An was a little excited.
“Yes, what do you want from there, I will bring it to you then?” Ye Ning said with a smile.
The two siblings didn’t want anything, they just wanted Ye Ning to come back and tell them how Nancheng was.
She knew they wouldn’t tell her, so she would just look around and buy somethings to bring back for them.
Ye Ning was very indifferent, but the two siblings were so excited that they couldn’t sleep until it was very late, as if they were the ones going to Nancheng.
The next morning, Ye Ning bumped into Yang Wanqing in the cafeteria, and she really knew the news that she was going.
“This is what I want. It’s all written on it. Please help me take a look. If you can, buy it. If you can’t, forget it.” Yang Wanqing looked at Ye Ning expectantly.
Ye Ning glanced at it. They were all lipsticks, silk scarves, etc. It was understandable. But why should socks be bought in Nancheng?
“Wanqing, why do you have to buy soap and toothpaste in Nancheng?” Wang Bin also took a look and was dizzy by the long list of things. “Ye Ning is going on a business trip. Why do you ask her to buy so many things? She won’t be able to bring it all back.”
“These things are not big, so she can bring them back, right?” Yang Wanqing looked at Ye Ning.
“I don’t know. I’ll try to bring back what I can buy.” Ye Ning didn’t guarantee it, so she would have an excuse if she couldn’t bring it back by then.
Yang Wanqing looked at Wang Bin and snorted, and then she felt a little sour in her heart. Wang Bin had never been like this before, but now it was not all because he felt sorry for Ye Ning. As expected, men were not good things, and they forgot their friends when they fell in love.
She went to work as usual in the morning, and the factory gave her half-day leave to go home and pack her things in the afternoon.
Seeing Ye Ning come back, Ye Lan and Ye An thought something was wrong. They heard that she was given a half-day leave to pack her things, so the two siblings hurriedly helped to pack.
“Okay, I’ll pack it up myself.” Ye Ning drove them out. In fact, there was nothing to pack. It was enough to bring two sets of clothes, money and food stamps.
“Sister, is this all that you’re going to bring with you?” Ye Lan looked at the small package and felt that it was too little.
“I only need to go out for a few days, and I can still move my family there. I know it well.” Ye Ning took out a box from under the cabinet, “This is the money from selling the land. I have put it here. If you want to use it, just get it from here.”
“Take it.”
This frightened Ye Lan. It was the first time she had seen so much money. She just put it in the cabinet without a lock. What if she lost it?
Seeing her expression, Ye Ning felt that she had done something wrong. She felt that more than two thousand yuan was not much, but to Ye Lan, it was a huge amount of money. If she asked her to look at the money, she would not be able to sleep well for the next week.
“I’ll give you fifty, which should be enough for you and Xiao An. I’ll find another place to hide the remaining money.” Sure enough, Ye Lan’s expression softened a lot.
This character was really… When she grew up and broadened her horizons, she won’t be like this anymore.
“Fifty yuan is too much, just give me ten yuan for emergencies.” She was still holding on to the ten yuan her sister had given her last time. After arriving in the city, her sister paid for food and clothing, and she didn’t spend any money at all, so she really felt that it was useless to hold the money.
“Just take it, what if you need it urgently?” Ye Ning didn’t know how to spend the money, and she didn’t know what to say.
Early the next morning, Ye Ning first went to the factory to report to Director Yang, and then gathered in the factory conference room. Then the factory secretary, factory director, deputy factory director… took turns to talk, and then waved the group to the station.
Ye Ning guessed that if it weren’t for catching the train, the leaders would have continued giving speeches.
This time, Li Shengfei and Bai Xue were also traveling together. Because Ye Ning and Wang Bin were so close, these two people treated Ye Ning as if she didn’t exist, and usually didn’t say hello when they saw her.
“Follow me and don’t walk around.” Director Yang told Ye Ning and led her to walk leisurely.
The group of them first took a bus to the city, and then boarded a train to Nancheng. It took ten hours to take the train from Nanjiang Province to Nancheng, and they would arrive at about 6 p.m.
In Anren Township, a man wearing Chinese tunic uniform got out of the car, looked at the familiar scenery, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked towards Ye Ning’s house.
“Isn’t this…Sheng Ping’an, are you back?”
