Chapter 1155: Mao Li's Intentions
"Wow..."
Song Tan held her phone and couldn't help but click her tongue: "Is your efficiency a bit too high?"
Not only efficient, but everyone was concise, and there were no questions or rebuttals; they were too much like tools!
Zhang Yanping leaned over: "Pull me into the group so I can arrange food and accommodation later."
Song Tan had just pulled him in when she saw that the one named 【Chen Yuan】 had already replied:
【Chen Yuan: I can buy a ticket for the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is February 8th; if everything goes well, I can arrive at the post before 5:00 PM.】
【Zhu Xinyu: I can currently buy a ticket for the afternoon of February 8th, expected to arrive on the 9th.】
【...】
Zhang Yanping was stunned as soon as he entered the group and saw everyone reporting their arrival times.
Holding Song Tan's phone and flipping down the chat history, he was speechless: "Are you not celebrating the Spring Festival? How hard it is to buy tickets for the New Year, and you're still asking people to try to arrive on the same day..."
Aunt had been listening silently, and only then did she finally perceive the theme of Mao Li's night:
Father and son jumped up from the sofa and then rushed to the kitchen to serve rice and dishes, which made Aunt speechless:
It's the New Year, after all. Aunt also hardened her heart and stewed a pot of mixed stew with the pork brought back from Chen Yuan's house. At this moment, the small stove was lit at the bottom, the pot was bubbling with big bubbles, and the aroma of meat mixed with cabbage, tofu, and various ingredients lingered in the room...
【Hello everyone, I am Zhang Yanping, responsible for arranging everyone's life. I just asked the boss; you can report for duty within five days from February 6th to 10th, so you don't have to rush the itinerary.】
Aunt furrowed her brows, and her phone "slapped" onto the table; it took a long while before it was picked up again:
"Oh." Aunt wasn't very interested: "Our spiritual energy isn't in a hurry..."
Uncle said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry. Our family's style is diligence and thrift. Many young girls nowadays can't do that, and if their values don't match in the future, they'll quarrel."
Just as he was speaking, the phone suddenly rang. Aunt took it and looked, unable to help but "tsk":
It was indeed her sister-in-law! "What's going on with them? Pretending to be so noble every day; last time Tan Tan spoke so sharply, they didn't chat much with me, and today they're contacting me out of the blue..."
It's not that it's impossible to arrive on the same day during the Spring Festival, it's just a bit troublesome for them to buy tickets temporarily.
"University student! She's capable; I heard she has a relative married into our old village... She even asked me how life in the village is before; how would I know? We haven't seen the elderly for so long."
Aunt was chatting while eating at this moment.
【If anyone arrives early, it is suggested to wait at the hotel first and take the opportunity to ask about the work environment.】
Uncle Zhu Jun and his son Zhang Yanping were holding their phones and didn't even have the heart to watch videos, just looking at the kitchen one after another.
"Look at you, as a mother, how old is he? Dating for two years and then getting married, he'll be 30 in a blink of an eye."
"It's just that the food expenses have risen a lot during the festival."
"But many people have already gone to work on the eighth day, so tickets should be relatively easy to buy."
Aunt was cautious: "Son, let me tell you, look at your eldest cousin-in-law and your eldest uncle, you know your eldest aunt's taste is generally bad. Whoever she introduces, you must not listen."
"By the way, Hongmei, what day do you plan to go back to your hometown for the New Year? Your brother really can't let go of his parents; he spent several thousand yuan to buy a TV for the old man, just in time for us to set off together—Hongmei? Hongmei?"
Uncle also nodded painfully: "Everyone is preparing New Year goods at this time, the supermarket is so busy that it closes half an hour late every night, so busy that the health tea at the door isn't even delivered."
"Sister-in-law, is there anything?"
Quarreling is quarreling, but if the face hasn't been torn completely, everyone has to maintain a facade.
Song Tan really didn't have much awareness of the Spring Festival travel rush.
The Song family set the recruitment plan for next year with great pressure, and in Yuncheng city, Aunt's family was also exceptionally happy.
It's not the first time eating it, but when she left on the day of pig slaughter, Wu Lan packed her a lot of pork belly and various green vegetables. Among them, radishes and cabbage are storage-resistant, and now, under Aunt's careful calculation, there are still some left...
Sun Zhudong agreed deeply.
Zhang Yanping nodded seriously: "There is a girl in our unit who is not bad; several times when I went to lunch early, I saw her bringing her own food, and the dishes were quite plain, wishing it were cabbage and tofu every day."
After a long while, Aunt finally opened her mouth: "The food is ready."
Song Tan, as the first person to respond, was soon privately chatted—
This meat is also eaten every few days, and now there is still half left in the refrigerator...
"It's not the first time eating it, look at how anxious you are..."
"It's relatively easy to buy, but people are from all over the country, some far and some near, and some have to transfer... Forget it, forget it, I'll do it!"
But working people can arrive on time, and there's no reason they can't, so after pondering, they finally concentrated the time as much as possible on February 9th.
"I'm telling you, the girl was invited by me to be a private tutor for Ziyi. Now that all-English private tutoring is popular, you know..."
Uh...
Mao Li's expression didn't show any embarrassment at all, instead, it was as if there had never been a rift, and she said enthusiastically: "Did spiritual energy tell you when he went back? Such a big guy, you parents don't worry at all... Look, I know a girl, she's a perfect match for him."
After a long while, she finally replied with an even more awkward sentence:
【Okay, let's do it this way】
Their teapot hasn't been filled with tea for many days.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, what did you just say? Oh, look at me, this alcohol stove has been bought for too long, and I just turned off the fire and didn't turn it off... That's burning alcohol!"
And at that time, Aunt also connected the call.
"Alright, I just said that I felt a bit heartbroken when I spent more than 20,000 on appliances before, so just give me the money, and it will be half for each of us siblings."
"Son, observe more."
"Tell me?" Song Hongmei was stunned, then shook her head: "What is there to tell me? If you have a suitable one, just date."
"It's not the first time eating it, look at how anxious you are..."
"Now alcohol boxes have risen in price a lot; I struggled for a long time before turning it off—what did you just say? My brother is going to buy appliances for the old man?"
That's right, half a month has passed, and those few jin of meat actually have half left.
You re-edit the message:
"Good!" Uncle nodded: "Not bad, observe more!" ===== CHAPTER 1156 =====
