On Saturday morning, He Guoqing called Tian Shao into the office and handed her a note: "After you get off work in the afternoon, take this note to Zhou Xiaofeng, deputy section chief of the logistics department."
Tian Shao took the note with both hands, glanced at it and his pupils shrank. On the note was not only the signature of He Guoqing, but also the signature of Deputy Factory Director Liang. She didn't know what to say: "Section Chief, this,
Section Chief, it’s too much trouble for you.”
He Guoqing said with a smile: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, just tell me and don't hold it in your heart. If you have any difficulties, the factory will definitely help solve them."
Tian Shao agreed repeatedly.
After get off work in the afternoon, Tian Shao waited until everyone had left before going to the logistics department to find Deputy Section Chief Zhou.
Zhou Xiaofeng took a look at the note, stood up with a smile and said, "Follow me."
These defective cloths are not stored in the warehouse, but are stored separately in another room. There is a small alley outside the house, and few people move around on weekdays.
Deputy Section Chief Zhou took Tian Shao to the back of the room and pointed at a pile of cloths for her to choose.
Deputy Section Chief Zhou said: "If you feel that the color of a piece of cloth is too monotonous, you can also choose several other colors."
Because the note only told her to go to the logistics department to get things, Tian Shao didn't know how much cloth she could get. However, she didn't expect that Section Chief He actually applied for a piece of cloth for her.
Tian Shao calmed down and chose two colors of cloth, gray and black.
Putting all the fabrics into the backpack, Tian Shao stuffed another five dollars into Deputy Section Chief Zhou: "Section Chief, I'm really troubling you this time."
Deputy Section Chief Zhou didn't refuse. He stuffed the money into his pocket, then took a piece of maroon fabric from the box next to him and handed it to Tian Shao, saying, "It would be quite festive to make a coat from this material to wear during the New Year."
Because everyone is accustomed to the four colors of grey, blue, green and black, there are very few red fabrics. In addition, there are many weddings in winter, and red clothes are required for weddings, so red fabrics are particularly popular.
Tian Shao didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. After taking it, he thanked him and walked out of the alley with brisk steps.
Deputy Section Chief Zhou looked at Tian Shao's back and smiled, this girl is so good at getting things done, she will have a bright future in the future!
It was so dark in winter that it got dark almost at six o'clock. Tian Shao hurried to the library. As she got closer, she saw a figure at the door of the library.
Erya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, and then asked: "Sister, what have you been doing? Why do you want me to wait for you here?"
The library also closes at five o'clock, and the door is locked early.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I went to get something and wasted some time."
Seeing that her hands were empty, Tian Shao asked: "Where are the big bones and the pigs in the water? Didn't you take them?"
Now every week, Tian Shao will order a few big bones and a pair of pigs to go into the water on the day he returns home, and today is no exception.
Erya smiled and said: "Take it. I met Brother Jianle on the way to the library and asked him to help bring the things back first so that we can eat them directly when we get home."
Tian Shao nodded, and the two of them left the city.
Erya looked around and saw that there was no one around, lowered her voice and asked: "Sister, what is in this backpack? It's quite light."
Most of the basket was filled, but the weight was so light. She couldn't imagine what a good thing it was.
Tian Shao deliberately let it slip and said, "It's a good thing, you'll know it when you get home."
When the two sisters were approaching the entrance of the village, they saw Tian Dalin walking towards them. It turned out that it was getting dark and neither sister had come back, so he went out to pick them up because he was worried.
Taking the backpack from Erya, Tian Dalin said: "Daya, don't come back on Saturday starting next week. It's too late and it's not safe. Come back on Sunday morning and go back on Monday afternoon."
The main reason is that I don’t have a bicycle. It would be convenient to have a bicycle to get back.
Tian Shao also planned this.
After returning home, Erya asked eagerly: "Sister, we're already home. Can you tell me what's in the basket now?"
"It's cloth, I'll make winter clothes for you."
When Li Guihua heard this, she immediately took out all the cloth from her backpack. She looked at it and asked with a trembling voice: "Da Ya, Da Ya, where did you get so much cloth?"
Tian Dalin was also startled and stared at Tian Shao closely.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Don't worry, it wasn't stolen. Our section chief knew that I didn't have any cloth to make winter clothes. He asked Deputy Factory Director Liang for instructions and got me a piece of defective cloth. Mom, this cloth is enough for Erya and the others.
Four people make one outfit."
Erya grabbed the maroon piece of cloth and said, "Sister, I want this piece of cloth to make clothes."
Li Guihua was unwilling and said, "How can you join in the fun? This material will definitely make your sister a dress."
Erya definitely didn't dare to argue with Tian Shao. She said: "The material is so big that it can be made into two pieces of clothing. If you can't make one coat, you can make a small coat."
Li Guihua was not happy and said: "On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Brother Yansheng, the remaining materials will be used to make a dress for the bride. Daya, I know you don't like your second uncle and second aunt, but red cloth is hard to find."
In recent days, your second uncle has been begging me, but it was difficult to do, so he refused. But now that we have red cloth at home, it would be unreasonable not to give it."
After speaking, she winked at Tian Dalin. After several lessons, she found that her eldest daughter would still listen to her husband's words.
Tian Dalin received the signal and said to Tian Shao: "Da Ya, although I don't like your second uncle and second aunt, your cousin Yansheng is still pretty good. Marriage is a lifetime event, and our family has obtained the red cloth, and this
The piece of cloth is also big, so I can use it to make a dress for his fiancée."
When Erya heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Tian Shao frowned, but in the end he didn't object: "Dad, you can give them cloth if you want. This cloth costs ten yuan plus twenty kilograms of rice. If they don't want it, make clothes for Erya and Sanya."
A small coat."
She would rather use gray or blue fabric to make clothes than this maroon fabric, which would be soiled and crumbled.
When Li Guihua heard this, she became anxious and said, "How much do you charge? If this gets spread, you don't have to be stabbed in the back."
Moreover, just a piece of fabric for clothes costs ten yuan and twenty kilograms of rice. The supply and marketing cooperative is not so expensive.
Tian Shao looked at her steadily and said nothing.
Li Guihua was so frightened that she stammered: "You, you, why are you looking at me like this?"
Tian Shao still didn't speak.
Tian Dalin glanced at his wife and said helplessly: "Da Ya, just do as you say. Ten yuan and twenty kilograms of rice will be exchanged for this piece of cloth. If they give it, I will send it to the county for you.
."
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Mom, I promised you five yuan for living expenses after paying off the debt. Just pretend I didn't say that."
She felt that with Uncle Li's urine, he would definitely find ways to benefit when their family's living conditions improved. Only if Li Guihua knew that her eyes could not tolerate sand would she have any scruples.
Li Guihua was anxious, but before she could speak, Tian Dalin dragged her into the house.
