Lingchuan secretly kissed his wife's palm with his lips. Seeing that his wife was not angry, an innocent smile like a child broke out on her cold face.
"Daughter-in-law, good night."
"I'll only hold you for ten minutes. You decide how long it takes."
After saying this while holding on to the tide of sleepiness, Yun Mo fell into Zhou Gong's dreamland.
Lingchuan stared at his wife's delicate and peaceful sleeping face. When it was almost 10 minutes, he slowly closed his eyes, but his hands holding his wife did not let go.
It wasn't that he didn't listen to his wife, but he accidentally fell asleep.
Well, he is so smart.
—
Time flies and it’s mid-April.
On the morning of the 15th, after sending Yun Mo off to take the tram, Lingchuan accompanied Huang Zhiqiu to the train station to pick up the goods.
The last batch of 3,000 rice dumpling boxes were shipped from Anshi two days ago.
In the past six months, Lingchuan had made several trips to pick up goods from Jiang City and Urumqi. Lingchuan had become familiar with the people at the train station, and he could easily pick up the goods after stuffing a 20-yuan cigarette.
After coming out of the train station, Lingchuan accompanied Huang Zhiqiu to Ronghua Food Factory to deliver goods.
After delivering the goods, with the delivery receipt and order contract, he went to the finance office to receive a total payment of 25,800 yuan. Huang Zhiqiu finally settled down.
In the evening, Yun Mo returned home from her late self-study get out of class. When she saw the rich delicacies on the dining table, she immediately guessed that the delivery of the rice dumpling box must have been completed.
"Momo, don't be stunned. Go wash your hands quickly and have something to eat afterward."
"Um."
The food is made by Huang Zhiqiu and is very characteristic of Anshi.
There are brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, sesame rolls, rice dumplings, salted beef, and braised chicken feet. Each of them is a big plate full, and the whole family can eat it for many days.
Ling Jiang laughed as he ate, "My mother-in-law, thank you so much for making so many delicious dishes for us."
Huang Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Brown sugar glutinous rice cakes and sesame rolls can be kept for a few days. You and Xiaoling can take some with you when you go to work and take them out to cushion your stomach when you are hungry."
"Hey, okay!"
Yunmo was quite happy to eat it at first, but as she ate it, she felt it didn't taste good anymore.
Huang Zhiqiu specially cooked such a large table of delicious food. In addition to celebrating, it was probably because he was going back to Anshi.
After Yunmo finished eating, Huang Zhiqiu called her to the room to talk.
"Momo, I have received all the payment for the rice dumpling box. This 18,500 is the money you advanced to set up the factory. Please take a look."
Yun Mo took the heavy cloth bag, opened it and put it aside, "Mom, no need to order, can I still not believe you?"
Huang Zhiqiu said angrily: "Although I won't harm you, what if I am outnumbered?"
"If it's less, then it's less. Just think of it as my filial piety to you."
"You kid, sometimes you are very smart, sometimes you are stupid."
Yun Mo was noncommittal, "My shrewdness is aimed at outsiders. It would be too boring to care about my own people."
Huang Zhiqiu was helpless, "I can't help you, just have your own ideas."
Yun Mo held the other person's arm relying on her, "Mom, are you going back?"
"What do you think? I was originally supposed to stay for a week, but it's been half a month and I still have to go back and pay the workers."
"Okay, Mom, what day do you plan to buy tickets for? I'll ask Lingchuan to buy them for you tomorrow."
"I've already bought it this afternoon and I'll leave at noon the day after tomorrow."
"So fast?"
Huang Zhiqiu helped her tuck the loose hair on her cheek behind her ears with gentle eyes, "Momo, it's not many days until the college entrance examination. You should work hard. I'm waiting to host a banquet for you to enter college."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm sure of it."
"Although studying is important, you must also take care of your body. If your body is broken down, it will be meaningless no matter how high your score is."
"Yeah, I understand."
The next morning, as soon as Yun Mo entered the classroom and sat down in her seat, Xie Xia took out a pink hand-held paper bag from her desk pocket and handed it to her.
"My mother has improved the recipe and baking process according to your suggestions. This is a new product that was just released yesterday. How about you try it?"
After the two became deskmates this semester, Yunmo would bring breakfast to Xie Xia from time to time. As a courtesy, Xie Xia would bring some of the company's new snacks and desserts to Yunmo.
Every time Yunmo tastes a new product, he will give appropriate comments and suggestions.
And Yunmo's casual suggestions can always improve the taste of desserts or snacks by more than one level.
"Sister Xia, I'll eat it tomorrow. I've eaten a lot of sweets in the past two days and my throat is a little tired."
As she spoke, Yun Mo folded the handbag and put it into her schoolbag.
Xie Xia nodded, "Is Auntie going back to Anshi?"
"Yes, the train leaves at noon tomorrow."
Yun Mo felt a little melancholy, "You said, if I ask Teacher Zhong to take a day off tomorrow, will he agree?"
"Hard to say."
Originally, it would not be difficult for a student with good grades like Yun Mo to take a leave of absence.
The problem is that the number of times and days Yunmo takes off is more than the whole class combined, which makes Zhong Weimin very headache.
No matter, even if it means getting scolded, she will still get this leave.
During the break, Yun Mo went to Zhong Weimin with a serious look on his face and explained the reason for asking for leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Weimin not only did not get angry, but also agreed in a pleasant manner.
Probably seeing her confusion, Zhong Weimin explained with some emotion, "Yunmo, your mother came to see me at school a few days ago. She was very concerned about your studies and told me about the situation at home.
Yun Mo, although I value your grades, I also value your character and cultivation. You are kind and optimistic, filial and polite, and I am proud to have a student like you.
You want to raise a child but don't want to be kissed. It's rare for your mother to come to Jiangshi. You should go and see her off tomorrow."
The words made Yun Mo's eyes become hot.
She saluted the other person gratefully, "Teacher Zhong, thank you!"
"Don't just say it, it will be the second model soon. Is it okay to be in the top five in the market?"
Yun Mo immediately retracted the tears that came to her eyes, "...I'll try my best."
The next day, after breakfast, Yun Mo began to tell her about the specialties Lingchuan bought, packing them one by one in cartons, and preparing to go to the post office for mailing.
Huang Zhiqiu took the train alone, so he couldn't carry much and it was inconvenient.
"Oh, Momo, this is too much. Why do I feel like I'm not here to deliver goods, but to purchase goods?"
There were eight large cardboard boxes on the ground, three of which were bought by Yun Mo, and the other five were sent by the Xie family, Zeng family and Deng family.
Yun Mo said with a smile while sealing the carton: "There aren't many, a lot of them are snacks. You take them back and share them with everyone, and keep some for yourself, so there won't be much."
Huang Zhiqiu was a little sad, "I didn't even bring anything here, but I received so many gifts. I'm so embarrassed."
"Mom, don't think so much. Everyone giving you gifts is for my sake, and I will return the gift."
