At noon that day, she went to the post office and sent the remaining manuscripts of the translation to Xiao Jiaxue.
In addition, she sent Cheng Tianfang's photos to her parents and told them to pay attention to keeping cold and keeping good health.
Then she went back to continue working.
She was smooth sailing, while Cheng Tianyuan was scolded by his boss Wang.
"You have been letting go for more than half a month! The supply and marketing cooperative has to purchase and ship goods, and a lot of accounts need to be cleared every day! There is a settlement there, and there is a payment here, which is so busy!"
Cheng Tianyuan said indifferently: "Lao Wang, this was originally what an accountant should do. All I received was the salary of the salesperson."
Since the supply and marketing cooperatives changed from public to private, the accountants were reluctant to do things at first, and always felt that they had suffered a lot of grievances and were entrusted to others.
The boss Lao Wang is also very picky and always dislikes him. Later, he simply finds an excuse to fire him.
There are a lot of accounting work, especially the supply and marketing cooperatives have large incoming and exporting goods every day, so it is very difficult to register.
Lao Wang couldn't bear to hire an accountant. He had learned some numbers himself, so he picked up his pen and did it.
Fortunately, Cheng Tianyuan was in high school and had a solid foundation in mathematics. His abacus was clattering, so he could help settle the accounts sooner or later so that Lao Wang could always take a break to keep fattening.
After he left like this, Lao Wang had to do everything himself, and occasionally even had to work overtime until night, so he was full of complaints.
"Oh! Don't forget, I give you a salary every year! Chen Min was a few years earlier than you, and he was only one hundred and fourteen."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and said, "I am one hundred and four, but I have to make a deposit and pay the bill, which is much busier than him."
Lao Wang was speechless for a moment and said in a muffled voice: "Stop talking nonsense! Get the account quickly! I don't keep idle people here!"
Cheng Tianyuan thought that he would quit his job after working for more than a month, so he didn't care about his bad tone and turned around to work.
That day, the door was closed after get off work, and Lao Wang threw a account book to him.
"You go back tonight and make a calculation and hand it over tomorrow."
Cheng Tianyuan endured the attack and nodded.
The honest Chen Min on the side couldn't stand it and stared at the thick account book.
"It's all over, and you have to go back to work overtime at night. This is originally an accounting job. He doesn't hire an accountant and doesn't do it himself. He throws it on you all day!"
Cheng Tianyuan thought that he would not have to help his wife copy the final manuscript these days, so he didn't care.
"Forget it, it's cold and there's no place to go, so I'm idle."
Chen Min secretly scolded Lao Wang and asked, "By the way, has my cousin gone to find you couple? He should be back."
Cheng Tianyuan turned on his bicycle and replied: "Not yet, I guess it's going tonight."
The two hurriedly said goodbye, Cheng Tianyuan went to pick up Xue Ling, and then went to the rental house.
On the way, the two saw someone selling roasted sweet potatoes on the street. Xue Ling jumped down and bought six of them, wrapped in greased paper.
"Go back and eat with your parents!"
Cheng Tianyuan answered well, and after pedaling, the bicycle was on the road smoothly.
At this time, a shout came from behind: "Brother Ayuan! Sister-in-law! Ayuan! Sister-in-law! Wait!"
Xue Ling looked back and quickly shouted in surprise: "Brother Ah Hu!"
Cheng Tianyuan quickly stopped the car.
Ahu wrapped in a military coat and a Lei Feng hat, his nose was red due to cold.
"I just came back from the bus halfway. I thought you should get off work, so I took the bus first and went home later. I didn't expect to meet it on the way! That's great!"
Cheng Tianyuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to him.
"This is bought in the provincial capital, so I'll give you a try."
Ah Hu was not polite, and smiled and took it and stuffed it into his pocket, then leaned towards them.
"The driver was named Lao Lin, who specialized in running the line of the imperial capital. He said that Lin Cong and his team were under Yuecheng. The place was not far from the railway station. There were no people nearby and they could not stay overnight. They would definitely have to go to the railway station. He later recalled that he would never be able to go to the railway station.
He said that Lin Cong said that he had relatives in the imperial capital, and he seemed to be a cousin. He would go to find him after he went to settle down, and there would be some people to take care of him."
Xue Ling felt a thrill when she heard this!
Could it be... referring to their family?
Cheng Tianyuan asked nervously: "What is the name of a relative? Have he mentioned it?"
"No question." Ah Hu sniffed and whispered: "They just took them for a while, and they were not interested in asking too much. If Lin Cong hadn't been bragging, he wouldn't have heard this."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said, "At least it is certain that they are going to the imperial capital, which is good news!"
She quickly took out a big sweet potato from the oil paper and handed it to him.
"Are you hungry? Let's have some food first and put some belly up. We bought it in front."
Ah Hu was not polite, so he took it with him, and didn't even peel it, and started chewing it in big mouthfuls.
"Thank you sister-in-law! I didn't eat much at lunch, and my stomach was already gingering! Wow! This sweet potato is so sweet! It's delicious!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Go tonight and have a meal with us!"
"No." Ahu smiled and said, "My mother is still waiting for me at home. She knows that I will come back in the evening, so she must have cooked and waited for me. I'd better go back early and don't worry her."
He quickly finished eating the sweet potatoes and took out a cloth towel from his pocket to wipe his hands.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I have one more thing to discuss with you."
Xue Ling asked: "What's the matter?"
Ahu laughed and explained: "A while ago, I told you that I planned to do some business. You said that if there is any good way, I have to tell you in advance. Don't I have any way? I want to pull you up.
The couple are working together!"
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan looked at each other and asked in unison: "What business?"
Ah Hu sniffed and lowered his voice: "There were constructions on the riverside a few days ago, and several groups of workers were working on them, and there were so many machines and the scene was so big! I counted and at least hundreds of workers were needed.
Doing it.”
"I asked, the factory materials and other materials were shipped from the dock, and they would be used soon as they were loaded. I heard that after the Chinese New Year, two factories would have to recruit workers to start work."
He smiled softly and gestured five large, thick and black fingers.
"I also asked, six or seven factories need at least five thousand workers."
Cheng Tianyuan was a little surprised and asked, "So many people?"
Ah Hu nodded and said, "In addition to managers, there must be more than that! Workers have to take turns to work, and there are dormitories in the factory. Not only do they recruit workers nearby, but they also have to go to far places to recruit, otherwise the number of people will be
enough!"
Xue Ling's eyes lit up and she asked, "What business are you planning to do? Sell things to these workers?"
"Oh! Sister-in-law is smart!" Ah Hu gave a thumbs up and smiled: "I want to choose a middle-level place to build a big house, specializing in selling daily necessities and some food. There are more than 5,000 people, and they need to eat, drink and use.
Yes, that's a big market!"
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes were also lit, and he turned to look at Xue Ling excitedly.
