Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth Chapter 246: Bustling with Liveliness
The three sisters of Lin Yun filled three fifty-pound bags with frozen dumplings, and after the family had a feast in the morning, Lin Daliang also took so to the milk powder factory for Bai Dajiang and Wang Yongsheng.
The filling was mostly at with little vegetable, so juicy that one bite would burst in your mouth.
Back then, the New Year’s atmosphere was more festive, and Lin Xue found her mom frying atballs early in the morning.
This was their local tradition. However, having a al with at in the countryside was quite difficult. No one would extravagantly fry atballs when every household couldn’t even have a al with at dumplings.
"Mom, make more. When Second Uncle and his family co on the second day of the new year, Xiao i and the others love it too!" Lin Xue said as she helped with the fire.
"Sure, we can give them so to take ho too. Poor Xiao i almost got sold by her heartless grandma. She suddenly changed a lot and doesn’t talk much," Wang Cuihua said while frying the atballs with a heart full of ache.
"If it weren’t for Second Uncle giving her so money, old Grandma Bai would have sold Xiao i by now. I just don’t get it, does that old woman have no conscience?" Lin Xue knew about this incident.
Aunt Wang said that Grandma Bai suddenly ca over claiming she had arranged a marriage for Xiao i, boasting about the good family and how they’d be well-fed—making it sound like sothing wonderful.
Aunt Wang said she was not in a hurry to marry off her daughter, but the old woman said she had already received a thirty-dollar bride price and they had no choice but to proceed!
In the end, it was only when Second Uncle handed over the thirty dollars that the matter was settled.
If it were her, she would definitely not give any money. If they want her to marry, she can marry herself. Why should she be sold after the family is divided?
The mother and daughter busied themselves for half the day, finally producing a large bowl of atballs. Their life had improved, and they wouldn’t deprive the children of good food. Wang Cuihua used the abundant at filling at ho to fry the atballs.
When Lin Xue took a plate of atballs to the three elderly people in the room, who were talking and watching the kids, they were discussing Bai Rui’s situation.
Only then did they learn that the family Grandma Bai had arranged for Bai Rui was from the town, but the man was old and not attractive, though he had a job.
This was sothing Bai Xianglan had heard from so older won.
Grandpa Wang, leaning on his cane, felt fortunate that his daughter’s mother-in-law was soone else and would no longer suffer under the old lady.
Lin Xue cheerfully placed the atballs on the kang table, and the three of them were sitting in Bai Xianglan’s room, with the table set up, drinking tea and chatting while enjoying the atballs.
The three of them had good teeth, so Lin Xue also brought out many nuts, dried fruits, and butter cookies from the supermarket for them to snack on.
As the New Year was approaching, Lin Xue visited Wang Cheng’s house and brought so at and seafood. Wang Cheng’s family had gone from having not enough grain to eat to having at whenever they wanted, no longer the sa old Wang Cheng.
"Miss, what brings you here in this cold weather? Hurry, co inside!" Wang Cheng personally ca out to greet her warmly.
"With the New Year coming, I’m bringing you so at and seafood! It really is quite cold!" Lin Xue handed over the things she was carrying to Wang Cheng, rubbing her hands together.
"Hurry inside! It’s too cold out here!" Aunt Wang also ca out to usher Lin Xue inside.
Their house was just a few doors away from Lin Xue’s, but Wang Cheng respected Lin Xue’s privacy and never disturbed her family. Even if there were important matters, he waited for Lin Xue to visit him.
"Miss, why did you bring us more? What you gave last ti was enough for the New Year! You barely see seafood around here; you should keep it for yourself!" Wang Cheng’s heart ward as he accepted the heavy gift.
"We have more at ho, and I thought of you when I got these good things, so I brought so over! Add a dish to your New Year’s Eve dinner! Just take them!" Lin Xue entered the house like she knew it well.
Wang Cheng quickly handed the things to his wife and followed inside.
Seeing the Miss like this, maybe she has sothing she needs to discuss.
The accounts for the year-end were all settled; he wondered what the Miss needed now.
"Uncle Wang, quickly sit down. I have sothing to ask you," Lin Xue said, patting the kang, smiling.
"Miss, is there sothing troubling you? Please let know, and I’ll handle it!" Wang Cheng was used to this. Whenever the Miss had an issue, he would resolve it, earning her trust over ti.
"It’s not really troubleso. I just wanted to ask if you are familiar with any of the plant leaders in our town? I have a cousin who is fourteen and I’d like to get her a job at the plant. Though she’s too young for formal employnt, maybe a temporary position could work. Can you help find her a job?" Lin Xue ntioned it casually, as if it was of little importance.
"Miss, you’re asking the right person. I just happen to know a director at the textile factory. It shouldn’t be a big problem to talk to him. But as you said, a formal position is impossible due to age, though a temporary job should be okay. I’ll go ask right away since they’re on holiday!" Wang Cheng eagerly got up to go inquire.
"Alright, I’ll wait here for Uncle Wang. Here are so cigarettes and two bottles of liquor for you to use as gifts to smooth things over!" Lin Xue took out a carton of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor from her bag.
Thankfully, her bag was large enough; otherwise, how to explain?
"Miss, a carton of these cigarettes is a hundred bucks; that’s too much. He probably wouldn’t dare accept it," Wang Cheng said, waving his hands.
"That’s the black market price. At the supply and marketing cooperative, they’re a dollar a pack! Not costly! Just give it to him; it’ll smooth things over, and it’s less of an obligation!" Lin Xue laughed, shaking her head.
"Alright! I’ll be right back!"
After Wang Cheng left, Lin Xue helped Aunt Wang make dumplings, just to pass ti. Aunt Wang didn’t dare let her make them by herself, as Lin Xue was, after all, her boss’s daughter. How could she dare ask her to do such work?
But Lin Xue was very down-to-earth, unlike other wealthy daughters, so Aunt Wang couldn’t refuse. Along with her daughter, the three of them made dumplings and chatted.
They got along very well. This young lady had insight into everything they discussed, and Aunt Wang kept nodding in agreent. No wonder she was so successful; she understood why wealthy people got to where they were.
They were nearly finished with the dumplings when Wang Cheng returned.
His face bore a cheerful smile. Under the intentional guidance of Lin Xue, he had beco quite the speaker and adept at handling things. Educated and literate, he had beco her right-hand man.
"Miss, here’s the temporary job quota. Work starts on the fifteenth of the first month. Fill this out, then go to the brigade for a stamp, then to the commune for signatures and stamps, and she can start the job at the textile factory!" Wang Cheng handed the work quota to her.
"That quick? Uncle Wang, you’re amazing!" Lin Xue wiped her hands on her apron, then took the paper, glanced at it, and put it away.
"Well, it’s really thanks to the resources Miss has that works wonders! Without them, I, just a cook, wouldn’t know the director of a textile factory!" Wang Cheng scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Oh, Uncle Wang, how many people do you oversee now? Are they all under twenty?" Lin Xue suddenly thought of sothing and asked.
