Chapter 507: This Batch of New Factory Entrants Are Incredibly Lucky
Ning Xiaoyu had been waiting for someone to ask her, and her face could hardly hide her excitement: "Our director said this year's Mid-Autumn benefits are the best in all these years, and said our batch of new factory entrants are incredibly lucky."
After saying that, she burst out laughing.
Duan Ruirui raised her hand and lightly patted her: "Stop laughing, hurry up and tell us, what is there?"
Ning Xiaoyu saw that the others were all looking at her, and didn't delay: "This year, besides mooncakes, fruit, and meat, there's also sea fish, sea crabs, mantis shrimp, and dried kelp."
Hearing there was seafood, Duan Ruirui's eyes lit up: "Really, September is exactly when the female crabs are at their fattest under the shell, just thinking about it makes me drool."
Ning Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'll definitely save the best for you all."
As she spoke, she also winked at her.
Duan Ruirui immediately understood: "Oh wow, having you in logistics is really great."
Ning Xiaoyu felt very happy to be able to help them: "Alright, let's hurry to the cafeteria, I heard that today's lunch in the cafeteria has braised sea fish."
Liu Chuxue heard braised sea fish, and somehow suddenly really wanted to eat Spanish mackerel dumplings and pan-fried Spanish mackerel fillets, and didn't know if there would be Spanish mackerel among the fish distributed this time.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they entered the cafeteria, found a line and joined it.
Duan Ruirui's action of stretching her neck to look ahead made everyone laugh.
Liu Chuxue teased: "The serving window is so far away, aren't you afraid of stretching your neck out?"
Duan Ruirui didn't even turn her head: "Can't see the window, but can see the dishes everyone is serving out, if I really could stretch my neck that would be great."
Ji Kunlan felt she really couldn't bear to watch: "Ruirui, if you keep being such a glutton, I'm afraid last year's clothes won't fit you soon."
Duan Ruirui's face was full of grievance: "Actually I didn't eat much more than you all, but I just have the kind of constitution that gains weight even from drinking water."
When it came to gaining weight, her mood suddenly dropped.
When her mom was alive, she was very doted on, but it had only been a year since her mom passed, and she had become the extra one in the family. Her eldest and second brothers had their own small families, so it would have been fine if their attitudes had changed, but her dad's attitude toward her had also changed, which she found a bit hard to bear.
Liu Chuxue was the first to notice her mood was off, and quickly gave the other two a look.
But it was soon their turn to get food, so the few of them tacitly didn't ask anything.
Seeing the dishes displayed in the window, well, today they didn't need to split the dishes either, besides spicy stir-fried fennel cabbage and braised eggplant, there was braised fish, no other dishes.
The four discussed, and today each got their own dishes.
They all ordered half a portion of vegetable, half a portion of fish, plus the staple.
Because there was fish, the few of them today all ordered mixed-grain rice.
The few found a table in the corner and sat down, and only then did Ji Kunlan look at Duan Ruirui: "They came looking for you again?"
Duan Ruirui lightly shook her head: "No."
What she didn't say was that her aunt had come to find her the day before yesterday, and mentioned why her dad's attitude toward her had changed so much. It turned out her mom's accident was actually related to her, because the day before she had said she wanted to eat the osmanthus cake her own mom made.
When her mom's accident happened, osmanthus flowers had just happened to be scattered all over the ground beside her.
Dad felt that if she hadn't said she wanted to eat osmanthus cake, mom wouldn't have had the accident. Although he knew this couldn't really be blamed on his daughter, he just couldn't accept the fact that his wife, who had been so full of life, was suddenly gone, and subconsciously distanced himself from his daughter.
The reason her aunt agreed to her eldest brother's and second brother's suggestion was actually for her own good, only her aunt hadn't expected that eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law actually wanted to take her job.
Saying the job was arranged by the family and couldn't be taken to her husband's family. Although the two brothers felt this wasn't right, for the harmony of their small families, they compromised.
