Chapter 449: Asking around for no reason
In fact, the people she saw here were different from the villagers she had in mind. The clothes they wore were not patched but quite new.
I remember when I came to the village as a child, the people here all wore patched clothes that looked dirty.
Looking at Shen Qing's clothes, the fabric is also very good, not ordinary cotton.
And Shen Qing's appearance is also......
The image of the bean sprout in memory is completely different. Shen Qing's skin has become whiter, her eyes are bigger, and the freckles on her face seem to have faded a lot. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all.
She doesn't look like a village girl at all, but more like a girl from a wealthy family.
Shen Lan looked at what she was wearing. She was only slightly better than her, but she...
She touched her face.
Her skin is not very good, especially now. Small pimples appear from time to time. When the pimples break, they leave marks, which are almost like spots.
And her eyes are like her mother's, not at all like the big eyes of the old Shen family, and not as big as Shen Qing's.
Comparing herself like this, she felt that she was not as pretty as Shen Qing now.
This realization made Shen Lan feel very uncomfortable, and she didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Qing.
Thinking about the good marriage that Shen Qing had promised me, I felt even more uncomfortable.
They are all daughters of the Shen family, but why is the difference between them getting bigger as they grow older?
Shen Qing didn't pay attention to her either. She was not familiar with Shen Lan, and even less familiar with Ping'er.
The two little girls diligently helped to serve the food, not caring what Shen Lan thought.
Shen Lan didn't want to pay attention to them. Seeing that the tables were set outside, she went to the front door to take a look.
The snow had stopped falling, but there was still snow on the ground. Some people had already sat down and were chatting animatedly in groups of three or four.
"Have you heard? I heard that the workshop will give out benefits on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month."
"What kind of benefits are you giving out? Isn't the 23rd a holiday? You're still giving out benefits? What the hell are benefits?"
"Yes, I heard there are a lot of bonuses. Our overtime pay is high this month, and with the bonuses, it will be a great year."
"I think the people in the workshop don't need to buy meat. I heard that there is meat in the welfare package, several kilograms of meat."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Are you serious? There's still meat? My eldest son is working in there, so does that mean I don't have to buy meat?"
"That's right, no need to buy any. Of course, if you have more money, you can buy some and eat more."
........
Everyone was talking about it. Those who had relatives working in the workshop obviously knew some inside information, which made others envious.
"Okay, we don't need to be envious. We have made so much money from the sweet potatoes and corn this year. We haven't made that much in many years. And your family also raises pigs, which will also be a large income in the future. What's more, although the wages of growing vegetables in an agricultural company are not as high as those in a workshop, they are also income."
An old man stroked his beard, counting the strands one by one, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy.
This year's day is really great.
"Mr. Liu is right. We should be content. It's all thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yuan. If we work hard in the future, our lives will get better and better."
Everyone smiled contentedly, as if they had seen better days in the future.
Shen Lan heard it all. She only knew that the workshop wages were high, but she didn't expect that the entire Daliushu Village would become rich this year.
My third brother and sister-in-law are so generous that they even give out benefits during the Chinese New Year. By the way, the soybean oil ordered from her family couldn’t be used for benefits, right?
Just as she was thinking this, Shen Qing and Ping'er brought in a few plates of meat, one on each table. The meat exuded a domineering aroma, and Shen Lan could smell it even before she sat down at the table.
Shen Qing saw Shen Lan standing at the door. People were coming and going, and standing there was quite a nuisance, so she said:
"Sister Lan, please go find a seat in the courtyard. We have all the cold dishes ready. When the bride comes and pays respects, we can start the feast."
After hearing this, Shen Lan wanted to sit down, but suddenly pulled Shen Qing back.
"Qing'er, are you also working in the workshop?"
Shen Qing didn't think about anything else and nodded.
"How much can you earn every month? I heard the salary is very high, and there are benefits and many other things."
Shen Lan held Shen Qing's arm affectionately, and you would have thought that the two sisters had a very good relationship.
Zhang Cuihua happened to see this scene and immediately called Shen Qing:
"Shen Qing, we don't have enough stools. Go borrow a few more from next door."
Shen Qing pulled back her arm and responded immediately:
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he ran away as if escaping.
Oh, why is Sister Lan asking about this? It’s no secret that the workshop wages are high. Do I have to tell her a specific number?
She won't tell.
Zhang Cuihua glanced at Shen Lan and felt that this girl was worthy of being taught by her mother. She was really like her mother. She was asking questions for no reason and who knows what bad things she might be up to.
Shen Lan looked at Zhang Cuihua and said with a smile:
"Aunt, I heard that sister Qing'er is also engaged and will be married after the New Year. The man is the young master of the Zhao family workshop. Sister Qing'er is so lucky. Congratulations. Your family is about to get better, all thanks to third brother and his wife."
Without Shen Qing, Shen Lan became intimate with her aunt again.
He said this with a smile on his face, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Isn't it obvious that Shen Qing is not worthy of Zhao Tianshi?
Moreover, they also said that they were able to live their current lives thanks to Shen Yuan and his wife.
Of course, she admitted this and didn't think anything of it.
But if they encounter someone with a sensitive mind, this will destroy their relationship with Shen Yuan! !
"Look at what my niece said. Shen Qing in our family is indeed blessed, but not everyone has this blessing. Your third brother and his wife are kind-hearted. Because of them, our Daliushu Village has a good life. We should be grateful for them."
Zhang Cuihua remained calm and didn't feel any psychological grudge at all.
Those who heard it also echoed:
"Yes, my family raised a lot of chickens this year, and we'll send one to Shen Yuan's family after we slaughter them."
"I have two litters of rabbits at home, and I'll send some over when the time comes."
.......
Everyone was sincerely grateful to Shen Yuan and his wife, and no one had any other thoughts in their hearts. Shen Lan choked when she heard this.
Zhang Cuihua would never let her go, and continued to laugh:
"Speaking of the kindness of your third brother and his wife, there is nothing to say. I heard that your oil refinery was also renovated according to the drawings your third sister-in-law gave you. The oil yield has increased a lot, and it has brought you so many customers."
Humph, you little bastard, you dare to play tricks in front of your aunt, you are such an ungrateful person.
Sure enough, Shen Lan's face twisted after hearing this.
It was indeed the case that her family’s refinery was renovated with the blueprints given by Shen Yuan’s father, but didn’t he also give them some money?
What's more, it was just a blueprint, and it was her father who did the hard work. They just drew a picture with their fingers.
Besides, her father controls all the income from the refinery and he wouldn't give her an extra penny in pocket money now, so why should she be grateful?
But I dare not say these words out loud.
