"Don't worry, every household has seeds, including ours," He Dali said consolingly.
Li Qinghua was worried about the seeds, so she ignored her husband and went out directly to knock on Director Zhang's house. She learned that he had already gone to work in the factory after distributing the seeds.
In order to get vegetable seeds, she hurried to the factory again, found Zhang Guangmao, and said excitedly: "Director Zhang, you haven't sent me my seeds yet."
Zhang Guangmao put down his pen and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, are you okay? Is your head okay?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Director Zhang, I want to grow tomatoes, pumpkins and eggplants. Please send me the seeds first..."
After hearing her breathless words, Zhang Guangmao sighed and shook his head, "The seeds you wanted are gone. Now we only have potatoes."
"What? Why? I want to grow tomatoes. Eating tomatoes is good for your health and can provide you with a lot of nutrients. My swallows are malnourished and need to eat more tomatoes. Director Zhang, I want tomato seeds, not potatoes!"
"It's true that there are none," Zhang Guangmao said helplessly, "Then the production team doesn't have many seeds left. I only bought..."
Before he could finish speaking, an excited Li Qinghua snatched the bag on his seat and rummaged through to find a packet of seeds with tomatoes written on them.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"There are obviously tomato seeds! Director Zhang, how can you lie to others? Do you know that you are embezzling them for yourself?"
Li Qinghua held up the tomato seeds in her hand and shouted: "Come and take a look, Director Zhang stole the seeds. There are obviously tomato seeds left, but tell me there are no more!"
After she finished speaking loudly, she picked up another two bags of vegetable seeds and said: "There is also a bag of beans and water spinach. Director Zhang hid the seeds himself and did not give them to our employees' families. Everyone will come to judge..."
He Dali, who came a step behind, heard his wife's shouting from a distance.
He hurriedly ran to Director Zhang's office and saw a bunch of workers watching the excitement surrounding him.
Su Jianmin heard the sound and rushed to Lao Zhang's office. He saw Li Qinghua loudly accusing Lao Zhang, looking filled with indignation.
"Lao Zhang is not such a person!"
Su Jianmin squeezed into the crowd and spoke for Zhang Guangmao, "Lao Zhang told me this morning that some vegetable seeds are too many and some are too few, and there are not enough seeds. In order to let everyone try to grow the vegetables they like, he only grows them in his land.
Potato!"
"Then what are these tomato seeds in his bag? Aren't they hidden by him?" Li Qinghua asked angrily, eyes wide.
Her husband, He Dali, suddenly remembered the conversation between Director Zhang and Sister Hongmei in the health center. He anxiously stepped forward and grabbed his wife's hand, "Can you please stop making trouble?"
"Am I trying to cause trouble? It's because he didn't give me the seeds! I want to eat some tomatoes, am I wrong? Why is he hiding the seeds and not giving them to me? Ugh..."
The scene was in chaos. Even the office leaders heard the noise and wondered what was going on. They asked people to inquire.
Several management cadres learned about the general situation and stepped forward and said: "Stop arguing. If you have something to do, we will argue again. This is a factory and a place where workers work. We are not here to cause trouble for you!"
Li Qinghua didn't want to leave, "I have to make it clear in the factory! Otherwise, when I go back to the Tongzi Building, Director Zhang will pretend to be the workshop director and dominate me."
Zhang Guangmao's immediate superior asked him what was going on and scolded him in a low voice: "Why can't you even do something as small as sending out seeds?"
"Sorry, I didn't handle this well. She was injured in the morning and was hospitalized. I don't know that there are not enough vegetable seeds of many varieties..."
"Anyway, you should quickly find a way to get her to go home, stop causing trouble here, and then write a review and give it to me!" After the supervisor finished speaking, he left angrily.
He Dali, who was standing by, blushed when he heard this.
After much persuasion and persuasion, he finally got her daughter-in-law, Li Qinghua, back home.
In the evening, Su Jianmin came home from get off work and told what happened in the factory today.
"That Li Qinghua is really... too ugly to talk about! Why did Lao Zhang swallow her seeds? Lao Zhang already said that his vegetable field only grows potatoes, so why did he swallow her seeds?"
"Oh, don't be angry!" Bai Lu patted Jinbao's father on the back to calm him down.
"I just can't get angry... ugh..."
Next door, Xu Qiang was also criticizing Li Qinghua, "She is just a shrew! I don't believe that Director Zhang would take her seeds."
Having worked in a factory for almost ten years, he still knew Zhang Guangmao's character very well.
His daughter-in-law Lin Yulan responded: "I am the director, so even if I leave some seeds to plant in my own vegetable field, it is normal. Who told Li Qinghua to be hospitalized without waiting in line after being hit?"
"Where is our family?" Xu Damei asked, holding half a corn in her hand. "Mom, have you got the seeds of the eggplant and beans?"
"I got it. Your Aunt Bai and I were the first to get the seeds. We didn't even have to queue up." Lin Yulan smiled with a proud look on her face.
After hearing what she said, Xu Damei said with emotion: "Mom, I found that after your relationship with Aunt Bai became better, your luck got better and better."
"Luck?" Lin Yulan wondered.
Her daughter nodded, "Yes! Our family had bad luck before and felt that everything was not going well. But now our luck is much better..."
"Is there any? What about, for example?"
"For example, in the past, if you went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, you would be good if you could occasionally pick them twice out of ten times. Now, every time you go, you come back with a full load of wild vegetables and mushrooms. You just can't catch pheasants." Xu Damei said.
Xu Qiang listened to his daughter's words, thought about it, and couldn't help but agree: "In that case, it is indeed true! After being discharged from the hospital, our family has not stopped eating, and Master Su also sent a lot of dried meat.
That jerky is so delicious..."
Having said this, he swallowed his saliva without saying anything.
"That's because Lulu is such a nice person! Most people wouldn't want to share dried meat with others."
Mentioning Bai Lu, Lin Yulan smiled.
Her daughter Xu Damei joked: "Mom, why do you smile so much when you mention Aunt Bai? You look like you are in love."
Lin Yulan's face turned red, and she poked her daughter's head gently with her index finger, "Girl, what are you talking about? At such a young age, do you know what love is like?"
"What a young age? I'm already sixteen, so I'm a big girl!"
"Oh, Qiangzi, listen, your daughter says she is a big girl, haha..."
Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, Xu Qiang couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you a big girl? You can get married in two years."
Xu Damei became embarrassed, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"What? Didn't you say that you are a big girl and know how to fall in love?"
Seeing his daughter's coy and shy look, Xu Qiang asked: "Is there a boy you like? Dad is very open-minded. You tell dad who you like and I will help you match him up."
"I...I don't have anyone I like!" Xu Damei stamped her feet.
Although she said this, she couldn't help but think of Su Zhiyuan's profile against the light and shadow that day, which was as beautiful as a painting.
