Li Manjun nodded, but actually she wasn't angry, she just didn't like him doing things without consulting her.
And it's also something related to her family.
"How much did it cost?" Li Manjun asked.
Zhao Yong didn't really want to say it, as if he wanted to take credit deliberately. The reason why he did this was just because Li Dawei was Li Manjun's father, and he just wanted her to be happy.
But unable to withstand Li Manjun's pressing questions, Zhao Yong still said it.
The total amount of favors was not much. A meal, singing and dancing cost about two thousand yuan, and I was given a 30% discount.
Isn't Li Dawei's work unit planning to get that welfare house? Zhao Yong thought, he has a ready-made truck and a ready-made network of contacts, so why not make good use of it?
Mr. Qiu is now a big business, so he doesn't care about small orders like this from Heather Town. He lets him negotiate by himself, and he will give him as much as he wants. He can trust his brother.
Li Manjun raised his eyebrows, "Does this 30% off list belong to the freight company or Mr. Qiu's family?"
"Mr. Qiu's family, I got 40% off the purchase price." Zhao Yong laughed. As soon as his father-in-law's employer heard that he could get 30% off the price, he immediately transferred his father-in-law's job back.
Therefore, not only did he successfully complete the job transfer of his father-in-law, he also placed orders for the freight company and earned a small price difference from Mr. Qiu.
Li Manjun looks like he is a bit of a profiteer now.
However, a profiteer had a very upright face, which almost confused her, thinking that he was a freight brother who only knew about brotherly loyalty and had no real intentions.
Li Manjun was convinced, but kept a calm expression on his face. He talked to Zhao Yong for a long time about the things that Zhao Yong had concealed and refused to report, and only let him go after making sure that it would not happen again in the future.
Rongcheng in August is still hot, even hotter than in June and July. The surrounding air is scorched by the scorching sun, making people feel a little distorted.
Li Manjun wore a wide-brimmed hat on her head and sunglasses bought from Shandong on her face. She also brought one for Zhao Yong, wearing it when driving, so that the sun would not dazzle his eyes.
Li Manjun also held an umbrella in her hand. In order to avoid getting sunburned, she wore long-sleeved and long-pants silk fabrics.
Standing at the bus station and waiting anxiously, I finally saw the bus coming from Heather Town.
There is a chicken coop and a duck coop on the roof of the car. Inside are local chickens and ducks raised by farmers in the town. They are very easy to sell in the city, and the price is a few cents higher than in the town.
Li Manjun thought of Wang Xiaojuan's craftsmanship, such as stir-frying local duck, and her mouth watered just thinking about it.
Li Lijun and Li Jianjun got out of the car. The two siblings stood next to each other, looking around blankly, looking for their sister.
In Li Manjun's opinion, Rongcheng Bus Station is not big and looks a bit dilapidated.
But for Li Lijun and her sister, there are many cars and people at this station. When they look up, they are surrounded by unfamiliar buildings. Rongcheng is so big that they both will be submerged.
While they were in a daze, they heard someone calling their names. They looked for it and saw that familiar yet unfamiliar figure. The two siblings hurriedly ran towards them.
Li Manjun took off her sunglasses and revealed her appearance. Li Lijun and Li Jianjun saw her face clearly and called her sister excitedly.
"Let's go." Li Manjun nodded with a smile, walked in front, and led the two of them out of the station.
Li Lijun looked here and there, her eyes moving rapidly. There were so many new things that she felt that her eyes were not enough.
The last time the two siblings came to Rongcheng, when they were seven or eight years old, they followed their parents to the city to sell local chickens and ducks sent by their grandparents.
It has been so long that the memories are blurred. The two siblings remember that when they came to Rongcheng, they ate rice krispie treats and brought a pen worth one yuan to the eldest sister who stayed at home.
At that time, my eldest sister was about to enter the first grade of junior high school. The teacher asked me to use pens to write homework, and ballpoint pens and pencils were not allowed.
Li Jianjun pointed to the Foreign Hotel opposite and said excitedly: "Second sister, do you remember this hotel? It was here that we sold out the remaining local ducks. There was a rice krispie shop selling rice candy next to it, and my dad even bought one for each of us.
A piece of it."
Li Lijun shook her head. She only remembered the rice cakes, and the rest was not in her memory.
Li Manjun flagged down a taxi and urged the two siblings to get on the bus quickly to avoid heat stroke.
She didn't mention it, and the two siblings hadn't felt hot yet. When she mentioned it, they noticed that the temperature in the city was several degrees higher than in the town.
"Why is it so hot in the city?" Li Jianjun asked curiously, holding his and his second sister's schoolbags, squeezing in and looking at the pedestrians holding umbrellas outside the car.
Li Lijun has finished her junior high school courses and proudly explained the differences in geographical environment between Rongcheng and Heather Town.
Li Jianjun was in a good mood and didn't care about her tone at all. Li Lijun was so angry that she called him a fool.
Li Jianjun smiled at the eldest sister, saying that the second sister was just a weird woman, so he ignored her.
Li Manjun watched the two of them quarreling, and his mood, which was irritated by the sun, improved, and he always had a smile on his lips.
Slowly you took the three of them downstairs. Li Manjun paid the fare and asked the two of them if they were hungry.
They both shook their heads. They had just eaten breakfast before setting off and were not hungry at all.
"Okay, let's go home first, and then we can go out when the sun goes down a bit in the afternoon."
Along the way, the two of them were already swayed by the elders of the city. They were so well-behaved that they listened to their sister's arrangements in everything.
Li Lijun and her brother, whose family is not big and have never lived in a building, walked around in strange circles several times.
Li Manjun asked them to put their bags on the sofa and took out three bottles of ice soda from the refrigerator, one for each person.
Li Jianjun stood in front of the refrigerator, opened and closed the door, and turned to ask his sister, "Sister, can we make popsicles ourselves?"
Li Manjun pointed to the plastic ice box on the refrigerator, "If you want to eat it yourself, you have to pay attention to hygiene."
Li Jianjun immediately wanted to play, and his attention was attracted by the color TV set that Li Lijun turned on. A movie imported from abroad was playing on it. It was a police movie that Li Jianjun had never seen before, and he was immediately frozen in place.
Li Manjun listened to the thick translation voice coming from the TV, opened the door of the second bedroom, and arranged for the two siblings: "Lijun sleeps on the side, and Jianjun sleeps on the sofa."
Li Lijun was secretly happy that her eldest sister still favored her a little bit.
Li Jianjun is very nervous and has no consciousness. He can sleep on the floor because he can pay for the TV set by himself at night, which is not very happy.
Both siblings are very satisfied.
The TV station played it regularly, and when the movie was at its peak, it stopped. Li Jianjun and Li Lijun reluctantly turned off the TV and took out the things their mother had prepared from their schoolbags.
Two bottles of stir-fried spicy chicken packed in watermelon bubble gum plastic bottles, and a bag of local snacks packed with Aunt Wu yesterday evening, a kind of glutinous rice cake with bean noodles inside, soft and glutinous and delicious.
Li Manjun put the things in the refrigerator, so they will be ready for breakfast and lunch tomorrow.
On the first day the two siblings arrived, Li Manjun wanted to take them out to eat.
Of course, the main reason is that the people at home who can cook have entertainment these two days and cannot come back in the evening.
