the days are still long

Chapter 78 Complain

In the hearts of children, the mother is always the most dependent, but when encountering difficulties, it is always the father who can bring a sense of security.

Although Zhao Bonian was not Lin Tingting's father, he played this role in this family. With Zhao Bonian's guarantee, Lin Tingting felt relieved and went back to continue her homework.

Zhao Bonian also sat down in front of Su Mei, "Su Mei, what's going on? Why does Tingting's father suddenly want Tingting to move back?"

Su Mei is not a gossip girl who likes to talk about her parents, but Lin Zuo's behavior really made her angry, "I don't want Tingting to go back to help take care of the children."

Zhao Bonian——

The man at the right time didn't understand Lin Zuo's way of asking a daughter who was still in junior high school to help raise the child. As long as he was a qualified father, he would not do such a thing.

He patted Su Mei's shoulder lightly, "Don't be angry, we just won't let Tingting go back."

"But Lin Zuo said that if I don't let Tingting go back, he will sue the court." Thinking of Lin Zuo's words, Su Mei became even more angry.

Zhao Bonian took Su Mei over and continued to comfort him with a good temper, "It hurts my body, maybe he just said that."

After more than ten years of husband and wife, how could Su Mei not understand Lin Zuo's character? Since she said such things, she must have such thoughts.

He snorted and complained, "I don't know him yet, so I can't do anything for my own comfort."

"If he wants to sue, let him sue. Anyway, Tingting lives with us, and the court will not come to the house to forcefully escort her back."

Su Mei also knew this truth, she just couldn't be angry with Lin Zuo's actions.

"In the future, I will pick up Tingting from school with you. If he dares to mess around again, I will definitely not be polite to him." Zhao Bonian continued to comfort, with a flicker of coldness in his eyes. .

Su Mei let out a long sigh of relief, "Old Zhao, I'm afraid that Tingting's matter will really cause you trouble."

If Lin Zuo went to the school gate to take his daughter away like last time, she really couldn't stop her alone.

Zhao Bonian smiled gently, "Su Mei, we are a family, and it is my responsibility to protect you and Tingting."

There are no beautiful love words, no gorgeous sweet words, just such an ordinary sentence, but it is enough to move Su Mei.

Tilting her head on Zhao Bonian's shoulder, Su Mei sincerely said, "Old Zhao, meeting you is really a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life."

Zhao Bonian patted Su Mei's shoulder lightly, returning silent comfort.

I greeted Lao Huang on Monday, and Qian Xiaoya came to work in the factory on Tuesday.

Qian Xiaoya came to work with full of expectations, but when she saw the factory environment, she felt disgusted.

The office building is a three-story building built by myself, and it doesn't look too big from the outside.

The first floor is full of packed goods, and the office on the second floor has to take an escalator, and there are only two desks, and four people need to share it.

Into the workshop inspection -

Not to mention, the one hundred meter long factory building has to walk from here to there, and then back again. She can earn more than 4000 yuan, so she doesn't want to suffer in this kind of place!

Taking advantage of the rest time, Qian Xiaoya leaned on the desk and approached Su Mei, "Sister, aren't you the secretary, why do you have to get off the workshop?"

Su Mei smiled, "It's not a secretary, it's okay to sit in the office anyway, so go down and have a look."

Qian Xiaoya curled her lips inwardly, took it back embarrassingly, and complained, "That's right, I think you and your brother-in-law are fine this morning, and a walk in the workshop is considered a walk."

Su Mei understands Qian Xiaoya's thoughts, she wants to get something for nothing, and she doesn't want to suffer.

He said solemnly, "Xiaoya, when I first came to work in the factory, it was harder than your current job."

Qian Xiaoya didn't say anything, but the way she looked at Su Mei said everything, as if she was saying that being a secretary is not just to accompany the boss to the workshop occasionally, or to accompany the boss to entertain customers, and earn money by eating and drinking. When it comes to money, there is nothing to work hard for.

"When I first came to the factory, I was an ordinary garment worker in the workshop. When I was not busy, I worked eight hours a day. If customers were in a hurry to ask for goods, they had to work overtime overnight."

Su Mei continued.

Qian Xiaoya pursed her lips, "Aren't you earning a lot of money by working overtime? Even if I work overtime every day, I still only get that much salary."

What Qian Xiaoya meant was that she was dissatisfied with her salary.

Samui——

She didn't want to comment on Qian Xiaoya's thoughts.

Maybe it's because he has been pampered by his younger brother and mother all these years, and he can't bear the hardships because he stretches out his hands for food and opens his mouth for clothes.

Taking a breath, Su Mei said, "Xiaoya, I forgot to explain to you that even if the workers in the factory need to work overtime overnight, you don't have to work overtime. The monthly salary is just so much. If you feel hard, you can wait." Su Yang will help you pay attention to an easier job."

Su Mei's attitude is not good. She doesn't think that a pampered woman can't endure hardships, but she was not forced to that point. When she divorced Lin Zuo, she left the house and was willing to do anything in order to survive. what.

Seeing that Su Mei was serious, Qian Xiaoya also softened her attitude, "Sister, I'm just complaining to you, after all, I've been at home for so many years, and I haven't been out to work, so I'm not able to take it when I come out to work so suddenly.

Look at you, why don't you seem happy. "

"Xiaoya, I'm not unhappy, I'm just talking about the facts,"

As soon as Su Mei said this, Zhao Bonian and Lao Huang walked into the office, and Lao Huang asked with a smile, "Xiao Su, what are you two talking about, so lively?"

Su Mei also took back what she said next, and said with a smile, "Women chatting are not just husbands and children."

"That's right, women, no matter how successful and powerful you are outside, once you get home, you'll become a good wife and mother." Lao Huang said with a smile as he pulled out his chair and sat down.

Zhao Bonian also sat down on the chair next to Su Mei, "Su Mei, let us go over to Tianjin and help me book a ticket when I have time."

Su Mei: "Are you in a hurry?"

Zhao Bonian: "No rush, I can go there next Monday. This time I will go alone. You stay at home and take care of Tingting."

In the past, when Zhao Bonian was on a business trip, Su Mei, who was a secretary, always accompanied him, but now, in order to let him take care of his daughter, Zhao Bonian was allowed to go there alone.

"Let me go with you, and I can help you with work matters."

Su Mei didn't want to affect her work because of her personal reasons.

Zhao Bonian hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I'll go to the housekeeping company in the afternoon and ask them to introduce an aunt, so we can take care of Tingting when we are on a business trip."

Su Mei has no plans to hire a housekeeping aunt. As a wife, it is her job to do housework and take care of her husband and children. If it was before, she could let her daughter go back to Lin Zuo to live with Lin Zuo for a few days.

Now, although there is no way to send her daughter back to Lin Zuo, her parents will still agree to take care of her for a few days.

"Old Zhao, there are only two bedrooms at home, and Tingting may not be used to living with strangers. Let Tingting go to her grandmother's house for a few days next week."

Zhao Bonian didn't like strangers living at home, otherwise he wouldn't hire hourly workers to clean the house regularly when he was alone.

"Is it convenient for parents?" Zhao Bonian asked politely.

Su Mei smiled, "It's nothing inconvenient, my grandparents."

"Old Zhao, Xiao Su, if you don't mind letting your daughter go to my house, anyway, my Dongdong is not on holiday yet, and his house is also idle, so let my old Xu pick up the child when he goes to and from get off work every day." Lao Huang smiled. proposal.

"Don't bother, just send it to my parents' house." Su Mei politely refused.

Although Lao Huang and Zhao Bonian cared about their friendship, they were just friends after all. If Lin Zuo didn't want to take his daughter back to help take care of the child, he could have let her go back to live with him for a few days.

Qian Xiaoya, who had been silent all this time, also smiled and said, "Don't be too polite, let Tingting go to her grandparents' house. Anyway, Tingting has grown up, and she can go to school by herself."

"Then I will trouble you." Zhao Bonian said politely.

Qian Xiaoya frowned and blamed, "What's the trouble, we're all family."

After a few people chatted for a while, it was time for lunch break. Lao Huang stood up first, "Let's go, it's time for lunch."

They got up, and Qian Xiaoya followed Su Mei and the others to the staff canteen.

There are hundreds of workers in the factory, and they all gather in the cafeteria during meal time, which is very spectacular to watch.

Walking into the cafeteria, Qian Xiaoya frowned instinctively, "Sister, shall we sit and eat with these workers?"

On the first day Su Mei entered the factory, she was a garment worker. She sat down to eat with the workers, and she didn't feel anything. She went to the special area of ​​the disinfection cabinet and took the plate, steel spoon and chopsticks, and then went to the food area to get food. .

The same is true for Zhao Bonian and Lao Huang, who also took their dinner plates to cook.

Qian Xiaoya looked around again, and saw that the room was full of workers in work clothes and work caps, so she lost her appetite, but she still took a dinner plate and followed.

A few people come to the cafeteria to eat later than the workers every day. In order to stagger the time with the workers, otherwise a hundred or so workers line up to eat in the cafeteria at the same time. The picture can be imagined.

But in this way, the meat dishes in the cafeteria will be robbed by the workers, and the rest will be vegetarian dishes.

Seeing that there were only bean sprouts and tofu left on the dinner plate, and the other dishes had been cleaned up, Qian Xiaoya was even more unhappy, and picked up a spoon to put some bean sprouts, "Sister, how do we charge for the canteen in our factory?" ?”

Su Mei also put some bean sprouts on the dinner plate, "The daily food expenses are five yuan per person, which will be deducted when the funds are raised."

"No wonder." Qian Xiaoya looked sad, put down the steel spoon and picked up the tongs to add some bean sprouts, and complained when she followed Su Mei to the dining table, "Sister, why didn't we come over earlier?"

If you come to the cafeteria early to eat, you can choose freely.

Su Mei smiled and nodded to the workers who greeted her, and then put the plate on the dining table, "The workers work hard in making clothes, so we come later than them every day."

Su Meiqian understood Qian Xiaoya's grievances, so when Qian Xiaoya also sat down, she said, "If you want to come here earlier, it's almost ready at 11:20 in the cafeteria, and the workers' lunch break is at 11:40 .”

Qian Xiaoya let out an 'oh' and thought to herself, if the three of you are not in a hurry to come, it would be bad for her to come early by herself.

Zhao Bonian and Lao Huang also came out of the back kitchen with dinner plates, and sat at a dining table with Su Mei and Qian Xiaoya.

Qian Xiaoya deliberately glanced at the dinner plates of the two. Lao Huang's dinner plate contained pickles with radish peels, while Zhao Bonian's dinner plate also had a small bowl of braised pork.

Zhao Bonian put a small bowl of braised pork in front of Qian Xiaoya, "We came late, and all the meat dishes were gone. I scavenged them from the back kitchen. The factory has limited conditions, so let's eat as we go."

Originally, Qian Xiaoya was still complaining, but Zhao Bonian added "Xiao Zao" to her, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Pushing a small bowl of braised pork to the middle, "How can I eat alone, let's eat together."

Su Mei buried her head in eating the food on her plate and ignored her.

Zhao Bonian smiled, but didn't say anything.

Lao Huang looked up and said with a smile, "You should eat it yourself, Lao Zhao snatched it from the chef's mouth."

"I'm even more embarrassed to eat it when Director Huang said that." Qian Xiaoya smiled, and suddenly developed a sense of superiority.

I picked up a piece of braised pork and put it on Su Mei's dinner plate, "Sister, you can eat too."

Su Mei smiled and said thank you.

Zhao Bonian gave Su Mei some of the small pickles on his dinner plate, and then put the piece of braised pork on his own plate, "Xiaoya, eat it yourself, your sister, it's the first day I came to work in the factory I never saw her eat braised pork back then."

"Director Huang, you can come here too."

Qian Xiaoya took a spoonful and brought it over, but Lao Huang quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Eat it yourself, Lao Zhao and I eat these few dishes all year round, we've seen enough."

"Then I won't be polite." Qian Xiaoya was delighted, and buried her head in eating.

Su Mei sighed secretly. She felt that she might have reached the age of asceticism. She came to work in the factory on the first day, and she was not picky about food. She came to work in the factory to make money and support herself. As for what to eat, it didn't matter.

After lunch, Qian Xiaoya leaned on the chair to brush her phone, took another empty chair, put her feet on it, and showed Su Mei the clothes she liked from time to time, "Sister, help me see, this one Does the dress look good?"

"Sister, help me see, how about this pair of shoes with pants?"

Su Mei was a little impatient after being asked too many questions by Qian Xiaoya. After all, she had different personalities.

Also a married woman, Qian Xiaoya's mind was on dressing, while Su Mei's mind was on work and family.

In order not to be disturbed by Qian Xiaoya, Su Mei stood up, "I'll go to the workshop."

Qian Xiaoya sat up straight at once, "Sister, didn't you say that you will officially go to work at one o'clock?"

Su Mei smiled reluctantly, "Well, the factory's stipulated lunch break is one o'clock, but workers usually start working after lunch in order to earn more piecework."

Hearing what Su Mei said, Qian Xiaoya showed a sad face again, "Then do I have to go to the workshop to check the quality?"

Su Mei: "No, you can go down when you are working."

Before Su Mei walked out of the office, Zhao Bonian, who was chatting with Lao Huang, also stood up, "I'll go out of the workshop with you to have a look."
