Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 224: Factory Director’s Wife

The factory director's wife didn't mind her probing and said with a smile:

"This is not a small matter. Ask your family's old Lin to go to the factory director's office someday. Your family's old Lin has worked in the factory for so many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. It's not bad to arrange a job for your own child."

Liu Huizhen was so excited that she wanted to agree, but she heard her daughter interrupt her:

"Aunt, these buns are fresh out of the pot. Try them and see how they taste."

"No, my family also makes dumplings." The factory director's wife refused with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, try it. This bun is made with the stuffing of my Qingyan. Try it and give her some advice."

Liu Huizhen smiled and placed the buns in front of the factory director's wife.

"Did Qingyan make it? Then I'd really like to taste it."

The factory director's wife smiled, took a bun and took a small bite.

The aroma of the buns immediately hit her taste buds as she put them in her mouth. She slowly stopped talking and savored the bun in her hand carefully with a serious expression.

Her father was an official in the province, and she had lived a privileged life since childhood. She had been to many places and eaten many delicious foods. She had become a picky eater, but she did not expect that she would be conquered by a steamed bun today.

Lin Qingyan and the others looked at her changing expression, feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do, and stared at her nervously.

After the factory director's wife finished eating a whole bun, she looked up and saw several people staring at her. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "The bun was so delicious that I forgot about it for a moment."

Liu Huizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, have another one, there are still more in the pot."

The factory director's wife felt embarrassed to continue eating, and said hurriedly:

"Don't worry. I came here today to thank you. My father is using the things you gave him. My family called today and said he is in much better spirits. My brother and his family said they will come to visit again after the old man gets better."

After saying that, he took out the bag he had just held in his hand, took out two cans of condensed milk and two cans of malted milk from it, and placed them on the table.

He smiled and said to Liu Huizhen: "Leave these for the two children to eat so they can grow taller."

"Sister-in-law, this is not possible. We can't help, and you still have to worry about Lin Sheng's affairs." Liu Huizhen quickly stood up and held her hand.

The factory director's wife smiled and said:

"Look at my memory. I came here to tell you that Lin Sheng's house has been allocated. You just need to go to Director Zhang to register and get the key tomorrow."

Liu Huizhen looked at her in surprise, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for causing you trouble with this matter. Thank you so much."

"I also want to thank you. The ginseng you sent really helped my family a lot." The factory director's wife paused here.

"Big sister, I came here today for another matter. I want to ask if you still have that ginseng?"

After that, she quickly added, "My father's position is quite special at the moment, and I don't know how long the ginseng I brought will last, so I want to prepare some for him."

Liu Huizhen heard this and looked at Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and said to the factory director's wife:

"Aunt, this ginseng is probably more than 4 years old. I got it with a few people at the time. We divided it into four parts, each of us got some. I brought it back, and the others should be able to get a share, but I can't find them until I go back after the Chinese New Year."

She also explained: "They all went home for the New Year, and communication was inconvenient. I had to go back to contact them."

When the factory director's wife heard that it was to be divided equally among several people, she felt hopeful. She stood up and walked forward to hold Lin Qingyan's hand.

"Qingyan girl, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Please help me ask for the price after you go back. We can discuss it."

Lin Qingyan thought that she still had several in her space, so she readily agreed.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll ask when I get back, and I'll send it back to you if I find any."

"If you are sure you have it, don't mail it, call me or give it to your parents and I will send someone to pick it up!"

The factory director's wife was reluctant to send such a good thing by mail. If it was lost, who would she complain to?

Lin Qingyan didn't expect that she was reluctant to mail it, so she could only think of arranging it later.

"It's settled. I'll go back first. I'm making dumplings at home too!" The factory director's wife stood up and prepared to go back.

"Sister-in-law, take these things back. It's our honor to be able to help you!" Liu Huizhen put the things she brought into a bag and asked her to take it away.

The factory director's wife smiled and refused: "This is not for you, it's for Qingyan and Qingxuan."

"Why do these two naughty boys need to eat such expensive food?" Liu Huizhen picked up the food and stuffed it into her hands.

The factory director's wife saw her like this and said with a smile: "My family doesn't lack these things, leave them for the children, or, how about you give me a few of Qingyan's buns?"

She is still thinking about the taste of the buns.

Before Liu Huizhen could react, Lin Qingyan had already gone to the kitchen and packed up all the remaining buns in the basket. After thinking for a while, she took out a jar of pickles she had brought back and handed it to her.

"Aunt, here are some pickles I made, take them back and try them."

The factory director's wife looked at the full bag and felt a little embarrassed.

"This, this is too much!"

"Take it, sister-in-law. They are all homemade. I hope you don't mind."

The two of them were polite for a while, and after the factory director's wife left, the family returned to the house and sat down. Lin Jianshe still asked Liu Huizhen uncertainly.

"Just now the factory director's wife said that Lin Sheng's house has been delivered? Is this true?"

"She said it all, how could it be false? Let's go find Director Zhang tomorrow to see if we can get the key back." Liu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him.

"The factory is on holiday and no one is working. How can I find you?" Lin Jianshe asked in confusion, frowning.

"Stupid, how could she not know that the factory was on holiday? She must have agreed with you to pick it up in advance. You'll know when you go and take a look tomorrow!"

Liu Huizhen looked at him as if he were an idiot. After she finished speaking, she felt that it was a bit unreliable to rely on Lin Jianshe.

So he sighed, "Forget it, I'll go with you tomorrow! Then we'll see if we can choose one!"

After Liu Huizhen made her decision, she felt better and turned to ask Lin Qingyan:

"Qingyan, you agreed to the ginseng matter so readily, is that okay?"

Seeing her mother staring at her nervously, Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her:

"We divided it into four portions. I gave away my portion, and there are still three portions left. Such valuable items cannot be used casually.

Don't worry, Mom. I'll call you after I get back and confirm with them."

Liu Huizhen was finally relieved when she heard her daughter's affirmative reply.

"Mom, make some dumplings quickly. I'm not full yet!" Lin Qingxuan, who had been acting invisible, looked at his sister aggrievedly.

There was originally a pot of buns, but except for the one that each person ate just now, the rest were given away by Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan coughed embarrassedly and pulled Lin Qingxuan into the kitchen.

"Come on, I'll make you a cake first."
