Chapter 125 I treat you to pay the bill

After the driver's heatstroke incident, Factory Director Fang became more cautious, and after some consideration, he adopted Liu Xinyu's suggestion.

Four people in a car found a hotel and stayed there.

The hotel is small and generally clean, and provides meals.

Although it was almost eight o'clock when Liu Xinyu and the others checked in, fresh meals were still available.

This meal was said to be Liu Xinyu's treat, but it was Zhang Hongliang's expense.

Liu Xinyu was not polite to Zhang Hongliang, but just made a note in a small notebook.

I still have to calculate the detailed accounts after I get home, so we can do it together then.

Riding a truck for a long distance was more tiring than expected. After dinner, she made an appointment to travel the next day, and Liu Xinyu returned to her room.

I took a quick shower, put on dry pajamas, and fell asleep before my hair was completely dry.

Although I was so tired that I fell asleep, I still got up early the next day because I had something else on my mind.

When Liu Xinyu came out to wash up, the whole hotel was quiet.

However, not long after arriving in the water room, Zhang Hongliang also came to the water room to wash up, and then the factory director Fang and the driver master also got up.

Breakfast is still the same as I treat you and you pay the bill.

There happened to be a gas station when I came out of the hotel, so I filled up the gas tank before leaving. Zhang Hongliang still paid the bill.

Director Fang gave Zhang Hongliang a thumbs up and was very happy.

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart.

In addition to the meal last night, the hotel accommodation fee, today's meal expenses and the gas expenses along the way were all advanced from her. Otherwise, how could Zhang Hongliang have so much money to pay for both accommodation and gas?

However, in this era, accommodation and meals are not expensive, but gas is relatively expensive.

Continuing the journey southward the day before, we finally arrived at the Minqin Brigade safely around 4 p.m.

Initially, Liu Xinyu was a little worried that the truck would not be able to drive to her house. After entering the village, she discovered that the village had actually built a road, so the truck drove all the way to the yard of Liu Xinyu's house.

When such a large truck entered the village, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole village.

Although we are in the period of "double grabbing", because the land has been contracted to each household, there is no longer the tense and lively atmosphere of the previous "double grabbing", but there are more villagers watching the excitement.

The rice in the Liu family's fields has not yet been harvested. Except for Liu Qingsong and his wife, who went to work in the fields, everyone else, old and young, was at Liu Xinyu's house.

Hearing the sound of cars outside, Liu Xinyao, who is active and likes to be lively by nature, stretched out his head to look around. He happened to see Liu Xinyu getting out of the truck. He quickly turned around and shouted: "Mom, my sister Xinyu is back! She came back in a big truck!"

Following his shout, Hulala and his family all ran out.

"Ouch, where is this big truck? Come inside and have a rest. It's a hot day. Old man, hurry up and open a melon hanging in the well to relieve the heat for everyone." Chen Zhaodi took the hand from Liu Xinyu.

While carrying the luggage, he ordered Liu Houxing, who looked at Liu Xinyu and laughed happily.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Xinyu, please invite the guests to sit in the room." As he said this, Liu Houxing turned around and started to cut the melons.

Liu Xinyu glanced at Factory Manager Fang and saw that he had no objection, so she led Factory Manager Fang and the driver into the house with a smile.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Zhang Hongliang and said, "Brother Zhang, do you want to go home first or come to my house first?"

Zhang Hongliang was a little hesitant, but happened to see Zhang Hongyun who came to watch the excitement, so he handed the luggage in his hand to Zhang Hongyun and said: "You take your luggage home first, I have some things to do, I will go back later."

"Brother, who are those two people?" Zhang Hongyun asked, pointing to the main room of Liu Xinyu's house.

Zhang Hongliang also glanced at the main room of Liu Xinyu's house, and happened to see Liu Xinyu sticking her head out from the main room to wave to him. Knowing that something must be wrong, he quickly patted Zhang Hongyun on the head and said: "Guests from the capital. What do you want to know? Wait until I get back.

Let’s talk about it at home.”

Zhang Hongyun wanted to follow him and have a look, but after looking at the luggage in his hand, he was speechless and had no choice but to go home first.

When Zhang Hongliang walked into the main room, he happened to hear Liu Xinyu trying to persuade Director Fang: "Director Fang, it's already past three o'clock. Wait a minute.

It's not until four o'clock or five o'clock to finish unloading the goods. Although it gets dark late in the summer, it is impossible to rush to Shenshi before dark. I suggest that you rest here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning to rush to Shenshi.

The city coincides with work time, so there is no delay and it’s safe.”

Zhang Hongliang nodded quickly: "Director Fang, Xin Yu is right. It's better to go early than to go late. Although the conditions in the village are worse, we should still be able to live there."

Chen Zhaodi and Liu Houxing also quickly agreed, and the driver obviously didn't want to work late at night. In the end, the factory director was persuaded by everyone.

Now that I have decided to stay one night, I am not in a hurry to unload the goods.

Everyone was eating melons in silence, and Liu Houxing chatted with factory director Fang and the driver.

Although most of the conversations were between chickens and ducks, the conversation was very lively.

Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang discussed the unloading issue with Chen Zhaodi.

I heard that Liu Xinyu bought nearly forty sewing machines and overlocking machine spare parts at once. Chen Zhaodi was shocked and stunned: "What are you buying so many sewing machine spare parts for? You can't eat or wear them!"

"Hey, these are just spare parts. When assembled, they will turn into sewing machines and hemming machines. I want to set up a sewing factory in the village to make schoolbags and quilts. It's not urgent. I'll wait until I have time.

I slowly told Nai that now we will find my second uncle and the others and unload the goods." Liu Xinyu simply explained her thoughts.

Chen Zhaodi quickly called Liu Xinyao and asked him to go to the fields to call Liu Qingsong and his wife back.

Zhang Hongliang thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go home and call my brother and the others to come over and unload the truck together."

But Chen Zhaodi shook his head and said: "Your family has already started harvesting rice today. How can your brother and the others have time? Let me just call someone to unload the truck. You go to the main room to explain the truth to the guests. How can the guests listen to your father's words?"

Do you understand?"

Liu Xinyu thought about it and decided that this was okay. If anything happened to people in the countryside, it was basically like this: you help me today, and I will help you tomorrow, so you don’t need to worry too much.

However, they have basically not eaten a delicious meal in the past two days, so they have to treat others to a good meal when they get home.

Fish and shrimps can be caught temporarily in the river. Chickens should be available at home, but there is probably nothing you can do about pigs, sheep and beef.

Well, school is on holiday, so there should be eels at home, and there are more vegetarian dishes this season. Thinking about it this way, it’s nothing without pork, mutton and beef.

So Liu Xinyu looked at Chen Zhaodi and asked, "Nai, I can't buy meat now. Let's kill a chicken to entertain the guests today."

Just as Liu Qingsong hurried back with a hoe, Chen Zhaodi said: "You and Hong Liang are going to accompany the guests, and your second aunt and I will make dinner. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you! I'll take care of the unloading."

Just give it to your second uncle."

"Xinyu, just go and accompany the guests and leave the unloading to me." Liu Qingsong put down the hoe, rolled up his sleeves and walked out. When he got out of the yard, he said, "Whoever has time, come and help unload the goods."

Soon there was a lot of excitement outside the courtyard.

Liu Xinyu stood in the yard and watched for a while. Under the command of Liu Qingsong, the men unloaded the goods in an orderly manner and moved them to the designated place to arrange them neatly.

Indeed, she and Zhang Hongliang had nothing to do here. Liu Xinyu pulled Zhang Hongliang away, and the two of them went back to the main room to talk to Factory Director Fang.
