When Shen Man returned to the workshop, she saw Director Liu sitting in her seat.
Seeing her coming back, I waved to go to the office.
I didn't dare to speak in the meeting just now. In that situation, the director had no chance to speak. You can only speak if the leader calls your name.
When the two came to the office, Director Liu asked her to sit down and then started to talk.
"What did Mr. Jiang tell you? I didn't make it difficult for you, right?" His expression showed some concern.
After all, he has never had long-term dealings with such a leader, and he doesn't know what his attitude can mean.
Shen Man shook his head, "I'm not embarrassed at all. You just want me to do my best."
This is indeed what it means. You can’t say the exact words again, right? This is what you say over and over again.
Seeing what she said, Director Liu did not question it. He thought for a moment and said, "Then you should work hard. It's useless to tell the leaders. They only want to see what you do, not what you think."
He was referring to the meeting just now.
He knows Shen Man's abilities and trusts him to do what he says.
But it’s not up to him whether others believe it or not, so he can only say this.
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded and understood what he meant: "Director Liu, I understand."
After saying a few words, she went back. She didn't have much work to do, but she picked up her notebook and studied new flavors of soda.
She wrote and drew and did nothing else all day long.
When he got off work in the evening and saw people changing shifts one after another, Shen Man left without stopping.
Being busy nowadays is a good phenomenon, and it is better than doing nothing. Being busy proves that the factory is profitable, otherwise everyone has nothing to do and there will be no benefits during the New Year.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and there will definitely be better benefits this time. After all, after being busy for so long, the factory will definitely take more care of you.
Seeing Gu Chen and Gu Nan waiting outside the door, she couldn't help but sigh.
It's fine this time, but there are more people coming to pick her up. She feels like a child. Why do she come to pick her up every day?
"Second sister-in-law!" Gu Nan shouted loudly and waved.
Gu Chen was very satisfied when he heard this title. He praised Gu Nan's behavior in his heart and planned to add chicken drumsticks to her in the evening.
This is his biological sister!
Shen Man was a little helpless and didn't know her as well, so he walked over and said, "I'll go find you during lunch break tomorrow and take me to buy a car."
Is it okay if they don't need to take over? One Gu Chen is enough, but here's Gu Nan.
She really felt that ever since she started dating Gu Chen, she had been pampered like a giant baby and had to be taken care of everything except work.
Hearing this, Gu Chen's heart trembled, and here it comes again...
He was still thinking about sneaking through, but saw Shen Man's expression.
Come on, I can't get through it.
"What kind of car should I buy? I'll give this to you. I can just walk." Gu Nan thought this car was okay and would be suitable for Shen Man to ride.
But Shen Man refused: "You gave it to me and you walked on your own? Come on, I am rich, have you forgotten that I am a rich man?"
Anyway, the factory gave me 500 yuan, and I only spent a dozen yuan on dinner yesterday.
It’s so cheap to eat now!
It only cost a dozen yuan to eat a meal in such a hurry. If I don’t have a thousand or two thousand in the future, I can’t take these two people out to eat. It’s too much to eat.
Seeing what she said, Gu Nan thought about it. How could such a rich person be short of money? The rich lady of Ziben's family was nothing more than that.
"Second sister-in-law is still amazing." She complimented.
The three of them returned home. Gu Chen bought a chicken today. He hadn't eaten chicken in a long time.
"What kind of chicken do you want to stew?" Gu Chen asked while chopping chicken and washing vegetables.
Of course he would not let Shen Man do this kind of job of burying people.
Seeing that he didn't need to do it himself, Shen Man thought for a moment and said, "Let's stew the potatoes. You have to eat the dried vegetables that Nan Nan brought. If you leave them for a long time, insects will develop."
Gu Nan came over two days ago and brought some things, such as dried potatoes and wild vegetables, which were all preserved by Li Jinhua.
After they left in the spring, a batch of wild vegetables came down, including water bracken soaked in salt water, and toona sinensis, which is called Acanthopanax in the Northeast and is also a traditional Chinese medicine.
This trip was very hard for Gu Nan. Just two kinds of wild vegetables soaked in salt water weighed more than fifty kilograms.
Gu Chen thought about it and thought it would work, so he asked Gu Nan to go to the warehouse to get dried potatoes and fish out some water bracken and stir-fry meat.
Washing vegetables soaked in salt water several times will make them less salty and retain the fresh flavor of wild vegetables.
Speaking of which, water bracken has no messy smell at all. It tastes like water when you eat it, and there is no strange smell.
Some people can't eat wild vegetables, but they can eat some water bracken.
Shen Man wanted to help, but the two siblings didn't need her to do anything.
"Second sister-in-law, please come in and sit down. Aren't there melon seeds on the table? Go eat some melon seeds." Seeing that she had nothing to do, Gu Nan made arrangements for her.
Eating melon seeds...
Shen Man didn't want to take it either. If he ate too much of it, he would get angry and his mouth would become dry. He didn't like to eat it.
Sitting in the living room bored, I could see two busy figures in the kitchen at a glance through the window.
Gu Chen washed vegetables and chopped meat, while Gu Nan next to him cooked rice. Knowing that Shen Man liked white rice, he didn't put any other food in it.
The two people who came from the countryside rarely cooked like this, but since they got along with Shen Man, their habits have always been to take care of her.
"Xiaoman, do you want to come over and stew the chicken? Or should I do it?" Gu Chen put his head in and asked.
Hearing this, Shen Man stood up and walked over: "Let me stew it! You made too much stew soup."
Both Li Jinhua and Gu Chen cook with a lot of soup, which is probably a Northeastern habit.
If you have too much soup, you can eat it several times, and it won't be too dry when it's hot.
Seeing this, Gu Chen stepped in and took action. The kitchen could only accommodate two people, and Gu Nan was kicked out after finishing cooking.
Shen Man fried the chicken in oil, then added various seasonings, finally added water, and when the pot was boiling, added salt before closing the lid.
There will be a fishy smell if you close the lid before opening the pot. It will be much better if you let the meat simmer for a while and then cover it.
The dried potatoes have already been soaked and can be put in after the chicken has stewed for a while.
Of course Shen Man doesn't need to do the rest, Gu Chen can do it.
While waiting for the food, Gu Nan suddenly said: "I haven't gone to see my uncle and the others yet. My second brother has been fooling me in the past two days."
Since entering the city, Gu Chen has arranged for her to do this or that. When she came to her senses today, she was already at work.
Gu Chen glanced at her and said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, let's go see it together then."
It's not good to go there often, and he won't come over if nothing happens. Everyone has his own life, and he also has a job.
Although Li Jinyuan often helps him, he also has his own things to do and usually has a lot of social activities.
As the director of a winery, I have a lot of social activities, and I am extremely busy.
Seeing what he said, Gu Nan nodded in agreement.
The food was quickly prepared. Gu Chen fried some bracken and braised meat, and everyone sat down to eat.
The family has been eating well recently, and Shen Man feels vaguely that he has gained some weight.
