Chapter 344 No matter how small the advantage is, I will take it
Liu Xiaowei replied: "If the workers in the mine are rich, they will be given food stamps."
Dandan said: "Dad, I'm hungry again. Is there any food at the reception?"
Liu Xiaowei was also impatient: "There is nothing to eat right now. Let's eat more at your aunt's house tomorrow morning."
Dandan also asked: "Dad, what is that tall iron tower?"
Liu Xiaowei sighed: "The person who sent the telegraph. There is a telephone in the mining area, use this to send the message."
Li Wenjun was almost laughing to death while listening.

It happened to be Hu Chhuntao's afternoon shift at the guest house today. Hu Chhuntao herself came from the countryside, but she still disliked Liu Tiezhu and the three of them so much that she secretly frowned and covered her nose.
Not to mention the smell of sweat and mud, the way he looked around and pointed was uncomfortable.
Even if they come from rural areas, there are not many such top quality ones.
Liu Tiezhu raised his head: "Is there a toothbrush? Is there a towel? We didn't bring any."
Hu Chuntao answered patiently: "Everyone who comes to stay in the guest house brings their own toothbrush and towel. The guest house does not provide these things. Only high-end hotels provide these things."
Li Wenjun didn't want to embarrass Hu Chuntao, so he hurriedly said: "I have new ones at home, I will send them over later."
Liu Xiaowei hurriedly asked: "How many toothbrushes and towels are there at home?"
Li Wenjun: "Aren't there just three of you? One portion for each person is only three toothbrushes and three towels."
Liu Xiaowei: "Isn't there someone else at home? Bring all the money you have and ask your uncle to take it back." A towel costs 20 cents, and a toothbrush costs 10 cents. It will be more honorable to take it home.
You can take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money.
Li Wenjun replied calmly: "Not much."
Liu Xiaowei: "No, hurry up and buy it and send it over. Why are you so petty? Your uncle and I are honored guests. It's our first time here. Why are you entertaining us like this?"
Dandan suddenly stretched out his head and asked: "Dad, what is a toothbrush?"
When Li Wenjun heard this, he thought, haha, they don't brush their teeth at all at home and insist on getting a toothbrush. They really want to take advantage of even this small advantage.
Hu Chuntao had never seen anything like this before and couldn't hold back her laughter.
Li Wenjun smiled helplessly at Hu Chuntao: "Comrade waiter, please give them a room with three beds."
Hu Chuntao nodded: "Okay. Fifty cents a night."
Li Wenjun: "Please send them up first, and I'll wait for you to come down and pay the deposit."
Hu Chuntao took the key and said to Liu Tiezhu and others: "Come with me."
-----
After a while Hu Chuntao came down.
Li Wenjun smiled apologetically: "Sorry for causing trouble to you. You can send a pot of hot water up later and ignore them."
He took out two dollars and put it on the table: "I'll pay for four nights in advance. When they leave, I'll refund the excess and make up for the remainder."
Hu Chuntao nodded: "Okay. Actually, I have towels and toothbrushes here, but they have to be bought without a ticket, which is a little more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative. How about you buy three towels, three toothbrushes and one toothpaste from me?
You don’t have to run around to deliver it to them. I’ll tell them later that you brought it and put it on the counter.”
Li Wenjun nodded: "This is better, how much does it cost?"
Hu Chuntao: "A total of one dollar and five."
Li Wenjun took out another two yuan: "The remaining fifty cents will be added to the room fee, and we will settle the bill together then."
Hu Chuntao accepted the money and seemed to have something to say.
Li Wenjun asked: "Is there anything else?"
Hu Chuntao blushed: "Nothing, I just want to thank Director Li for letting me go to the electronics factory."
Li Wenjun nodded: "It's okay, I still need you to be willing to work. It's the salary you earned through your own hard work, so you don't need to thank me." Although Hu Chuntao likes to take advantage of small things, she is still very diligent in her work. Otherwise, she would not be in the electronics factory.
After working the morning shift, I came to the guest house for the afternoon shift.
The waiters in the guest houses of this era had no other services except delivering hot water, and they did not provide meals. There were very few guests in the guest houses in the mining area, so no one was left on duty at night.
The morning shift of waiters starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 12 noon. The afternoon shift starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.
The afternoon shift is harder, so the salary is higher.
Hu Chuntao added: "I apologized to Xiaolan. She didn't say anything. I don't know if she has forgiven me."
Li Wenjun was not interested in hearing this, so he nodded in agreement and left.
-----
When Li Wenjun returned home, he saw Liu Cuihong on their side: "Hey? Mom, why don't you go and have a rest? Is something wrong?"
Liu Cuihong sighed: "Oh, it's not your uncle's business. I know you don't like them, but after all, I am a blood relative, so there is nothing you can do about it. Just for mom's sake, be patient."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Mom, don't worry. Aren't those also my uncle and cousin? I won't drive them away, and I will ask them to only say good things about us when they return to the village."
Liu Cuihong felt relieved: "Okay, as long as you say this."
Li Wenjun added: "Don't cook anymore at noon from now on. Just go to the cafeteria and get some food. Gu Zhanyan and Dian Dian will eat here with me. Brother, let them do whatever they want."
Liu Cuihong also saw Liu Xiaowei's squinting look today, but it was difficult to point out, so she replied: "I know, you guys can take a lunch break."
Diandian had already changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed. She patted her apple and said, "Little apple, take a nap."
-----
Just as Li Wenjun and Gu Zhanyan fell asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Who is it? This is so annoying at noon.
Li Wenjun sighed and got up to open the door.
It turned out to be Liu Tiezhu and Liu Xiaowei.
Liu Xiaowei stood at the door and glanced straight inside.
Li Wenjun went out and closed the door: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
Liu Tiezhu: "Why are you so divided and you don't even let us go in and sit for a while?"
Li Wenjun: "Xiao Gu and the children are both sleeping. It's inconvenient. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Liu Tiezhu could only say: "Didn't you promise to take your eldest cousin to the factory? Just go in the afternoon and you can get your salary today."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay. You go to my mother's place and wait. I'll change clothes and wash up."
Liu Xiaowei: "We'll wait here."
Li Wenjun's face darkened: "As I said just now, my wife and my child are still sleeping. Don't you understand human language?"
Liu Xiaowei did not expect Li Wenjun to say this directly, and said sarcastically: "Why are you so anxious?"
Li Wenjun replied calmly: "People still have to respect themselves."
Just now at the dinner table, Liu Xiaowei kept glaring at Gu Zhanyan, which made Li Wenjun very unhappy. If he hadn't looked at Liu Cuihong's face, he would have told Liu Xiaowei on the spot that he would not dare to look at women in the future.
Liu Xiaowei was ridiculed by Li Wenjun for not respecting himself, and his face turned red.
Liu Tiezhu had already learned how powerful Li Wenjun was, and pulled Liu Xiaowei: "Let's go over there. Li Wenjun is right, even though we are cousins, don't we have to avoid suspicion?"
Liu Xiaowei muttered angrily: "People in the city are really particular."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: No, on the one hand, we must find a way to make them leave willingly, and on the other hand, we must also teach Liu Xiaowei how to be a good person.
