Ye Ning had to be on duty and would not be on holiday until the afternoon of the 29th. The factory gave everyone a box of fruit, a bag of oranges, rice and oil.
No wonder they said the pharmaceutical factory had good benefits. They sent out whole boxes of such good fruits. She guessed their factory was the only one in the entire county that offered such good fruits.
“Ye Ning, don’t leave yet. There’s some braised beef in the kitchen. Everyone can get a piece later.” Li Xiulan came to find Ye Ning. She looked at what Ye Ning got and whispered in her ear, “After you get the beef, come with me to the HR department.”
Beef? Ye Ning only knew that the factory had prepared a dish for them to take back home as a side dish for the New Year, but she didn’t expect it to be beef. With so many people in the factory, how many cows would it take?
“You never expected it, did you? Not to mention Huanshan County, even in the entire city, the welfare of our pharmaceutical factory has to be ranked among the top.” Li Xiulan said with a smile.
Ye Ning was even more curious about her plan to go to the HR department. “Why would we assistants go to the HR department?”
Li Xiulan glanced around and said, “You’re new here, but you may not know that our factory has some medicines that are past their expiration date. They are wasted if thrown away. The leaders decided to give them to some of our brother companies. It’s the end of the year now, so shouldn’t they thank us?”
Bad expiration date? The pharmaceutical factory’s drugs were in short supply, how could this situation happen? Ye Ning’s eyes rolled and she immediately understood what was going on.
This was just the public statement. I guess some of it was given away, and some of it was pocketed by others. I think everyone knows it, but no one says it.
They arrived at the cafeteria while chatting and laughing. The beef was cut into large pieces, weighing at least one pound. The color alone made people drool. Ye Ning carefully picked a piece, said hello to Wang Bin and others who came to get the braised meat, and planned to go to the Human Resources Department with Li Xiulan and go home early.
“Wait.” Wang Bin stuffed the lunch box into Zhu Yonghui’s hands and quickly caught up with Ye Ning. “Well, I have a relative who works in Nanning. There are a lot of fruits there, so he brought us a lot. We can’t finish them all, so we give some to Yonghui and his family every year. This year, I left some for you too.”
Nanning was also in their province, but it was a bit far away. Nanning was rich in fruits, and the largest factory there was a canning factory. The welfare fruits distributed by the factory this time were transported from Nanning.
She could accept some people’s things, but she absolutely could not accept some people’s things. For example, since she knew that Wang Bin had ulterior motives, it was wrong to accept his things.
“No, the factory just distributed so many fruits and oranges. I don’t have many people in my family, so this is enough for us to eat. I’ll leave first if I have nothing else to do. My sister said she wanted to make steamed buns, but I don’t know if she’s done yet. I’ll go back and help her.”
After bypassing Wang Bin, Ye Ning pulled Li Xiulan and the two went to the Human Resources Department together.
“You really won’t consider Wang Bin? In fact, he has good conditions. His father is the deputy secretary of the factory, his mother is a doctor, and he is the only son in the family. If you marry him, you won’t have to worry about anything.” Li Xiulan really thought that Wang Bin was a good person. Although he was the son of a cadre, he was not arrogant at all. He had a gentle personality and looked good. If it were her, she would have nodded and agreed a long time ago.
Ye Ning pursed her lips and smiled softly, “I didn’t say he was bad, Wang Bin is very good, it’s just that we are not suitable.”
Li Xiulan didn’t know what to say, she just felt sorry for Ye Ning for missing out on such a good marriage.
Good marriage! Ye Ning didn’t think so. Wang Bin came from a cadre family. Not only would he not look for someone of unequal status, he would definitely not look for a country girl, let alone a girl like her whose father had died, whose mother had run away, and who had two younger siblings to look after.
Ye Ning was no longer a little girl. Her soul was that of a mature woman who was almost thirty years old and had experienced the beatings of society. She knew very well that marrying someone was not that easy. It was because she was too rational that she had not married even at the age of twenty-nine in her previous life.
The Human Resources Department did not give anything, but a few slips, similar to shopping coupons in later generations. Ye Ning glanced at the side and saw candies, meat, soaps, washbasins and the like. There were rich varieties, and different levels had different rations. Although Ye Ning had just joined the factory, Director Lin took good care of her and gave her the same slip as Li Xiulan.
When she got home, her brother and sister were making steamed buns. Ye Ning put away the things given by the factory, washed her hands quickly and joined them.
In fact, according to Ye Ning’s opinion, it would be enough to just buy a few steamed buns and eat them. But Ye Lan said she didn’t want to do that and insisted that the New Year should be celebrated as it was. In addition to steamed buns, she also made steamed cakes, sugar cakes, rice cakes, and all kinds of snacks that Ye Ning thought were very troublesome. Of course, Ye Ning ate the most delicious food after they were made. She hadn’t eaten such authentic hometown snacks in many years.
In addition, live chickens and ducks were also bought. Ye Lan got up early this morning and slaughtered them. She was so quick and efficient that Ye Ning was stunned. She didn’t dare to kill them, let alone chickens and ducks, she didn’t even dare to kill fish.
