Chapter 130 Going to Work
"Eat quickly, my arms are getting sore from holding it up."
Xu Sui didn't pay much attention to the man's gaze. She hadn't eaten meat for quite some time, and the aroma of chicken made her crave it. Her attention was entirely focused on the large bowl of chicken.
Qin Yunzhou gradually came to his senses. He looked at the woman in front of him with a smile in his eyes, opened his mouth and took a bite. In just a few bites, he finished the whole chicken leg. He ate very quickly, but his movements were not awkward at all. He still looked very polite.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"You've finished eating, you can eat yours now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui stopped paying attention to him, picked up a large bowl of chicken that was bigger than her face, and began to eat it seriously, occasionally taking a few sips of chicken soup.
When people have nothing to eat, everything tastes delicious, especially rare old hen soup.
She never thought chicken soup was very good before, but now that she's in this day and age, she has to admit that it is indeed delicious, much better than those bland vegetable soups.
After a few bites of chicken, my stomach felt warm and cozy, which was extremely comforting.
Qin Yunzhou sat on the bed, his gaze unconsciously falling on Xu Sui's pretty face as she ate with great satisfaction, and he felt a little more satisfied himself.
She seems to really enjoy eating.
Next time, I'll think of another way to get a hen.
If you really can't buy them, you can use grain coupons or other coupons plus money to exchange them with someone in the countryside, or think of other ways...
Before we knew it, it was early the next morning.
Autumn nights are cold, and mornings are cool.
Xu Sui got up very early; today was her first day working at the grain station.
The grain depot starts work at nine in the morning, which isn't too early. Compared to textile factories and machinery factories, it's half an hour or an hour later.
It takes a while to walk from home to work at the grain station, so I still have to get up early.
Qin Yunzhou also gets up early. His daily routine is extremely regular. Now, whether he has something to do or not, he usually gets up at seven o'clock in the morning.
Other family members who have to go to work get up even earlier.
Especially Qin Min, who works at the timber factory.
He hadn't come home to sleep for several days and had been staying in the factory dormitory. He suddenly came back last night for some reason. When he learned that his family had killed a chicken, he even got a piece of meat and a sip of chicken soup.
Although it wasn't much, it was still meat.
I was originally excited to go and look for it.
However, nothing was found. Upon asking, they learned that Xiao Fen had eaten their portion.
Now, the couple started arguing again in the middle of the night over this, but eventually quieted down again.
Everyone except him got to eat old hen last night. Although it was a small amount, it was still meat, and everyone was quite happy.
Early in the morning.
Qin Min went to work and bumped into Qin Yunzhou, who had just gotten up.
The two nodded to each other, exchanged greetings, and then went about their own business without saying anything else.
Although they've lived under the same roof for so long, the two aren't close and haven't exchanged many words. This is mainly because Qin Min spends most of his time at work and rarely comes home at night, so they don't have much time to connect as brothers.
inside the room.
Thinking about today being my first day at work, and the weather outside getting chilly.
Xu Sui specially changed into the bright red sweater that Wang Yinhua had knitted for her, though the color looked a bit tacky.
However, as long as the skin is fair and delicate enough, wearing it will not look tacky, but will instead give off a more rosy and white-toothed look.
It's simple and looks quite nice. Because it's loose and Xu Sui is already slim, you can't really tell she's pregnant unless you look closely.
This bright red yarn is hard to come by and very sought after.
In that supply and marketing cooperative, you couldn't get anything without connections.
However, Wang Yinhua had connections. She had a close friend at the supply and marketing cooperative, and whenever there was something good, people would always think of her.
She was also good to her close old friends; whenever she had any good, slightly flawed fabric, she would think of them too.
There is give before there is receive; that's how relationships between people are formed.
Outside, Tianhua called out from inside the house, "Suisui, breakfast is ready."
Knowing that her daughter-in-law was going to work today, Tianhua got up early and used the leftover chicken soup from yesterday and the little bit of flour she had at home to make a bowl of hand-pulled chicken noodle soup.
Actually, we still have a few eggs at home. If we poach one on top now, it will definitely taste even better.
However, Xu Sui is currently pregnant and cannot tolerate the smell of eggs, so she has to make do with eating them.
"Thank you, Mom. It's all thanks to your cooking skills."
After tidying up and coming out of the house, I saw a steaming bowl of handmade chicken noodle soup on the dining table.
Xu Sui smiled, thanked her mother-in-law first, and then started eating.
"No need to thank me, we're all family." Tian Hua waved her hand, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on Xu Sui's belly. What she was looking forward to most right now was holding her grandson.
"By the way, Sui Sui, are you experiencing any pregnancy symptoms yet?"
When she was pregnant with her youngest son and daughter, she suffered a lot. From the time she became pregnant until she gave birth, she was tormented every day. She suffered from severe morning sickness, swollen feet, and could not eat anything. It drove her almost crazy.
The eldest son and his wife were no longer a hope, and their youngest son was still too young to rely on for the time being.
We can only hope for the baby in my second daughter-in-law's belly.
The daughter-in-law suddenly became pregnant with twins, and will soon give the Qin family two grandsons. Moreover, the daughter-in-law is also capable, working at the grain station.
Now, everyone in the compound says that the Qin family is lucky to have married a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law.
Xu Sui shook her head as she ate, "No, apart from not being able to stand the smell of eggs, there's nothing else. The child is very well-behaved."
However, it's only been about four months now, so hopefully there won't be any further issues.
Tian Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it's good that you're alright."
"By the way, have you transferred your grain rations to the grain depot?"
She had heard that the food at the grain station was better than that at other units, with steamed buns and meat buns available from time to time, as well as meat dishes.
Unlike other workplaces, where people eat cornbread and occasionally a few large white steamed buns, these are all snatched up before you even arrive.
"I've transferred. From now on, I'll eat lunch at the grain station's canteen when I go to work." Xu Sui had visited the grain station's canteen when she went to complete her onboarding procedures last time.
The food there was indeed quite good, with meat dishes every few days, and the prices were much cheaper than outside, which was one of the hidden perks of the grain depot.
In this year of famine, any organization that could offer such benefits truly deserves good treatment.
It's no wonder everyone wants to work for a good company.
After breakfast.
Xu Sui went to work with a small crossbody bag on her back. Inside the bag was a thermos filled with hot water and some other miscellaneous items.
Qin Yunzhou also offered to give her a ride, but she refused.
His legs haven't fully recovered yet. He can go out for walks occasionally, but walking too often isn't good for his recovery.
As for the secondhand bicycle that was just repaired at home, Xu Sui couldn't ride it because she was pregnant, so she could only leave it for now, thinking of finding an opportunity to sell it in the next few days.
I had just left my house, but hadn't even left the courtyard yet.
Along the way, we encountered many elderly women from the same compound.
"Sui Sui, where have you been so early?"
"Auntie, I'm going to work."
"Oh dear, look at your memory, Auntie! I heard you're working at the grain station now. Your daughter really makes our neighborhood committee proud; she managed to get into such a good company."
