Mu Chen

30. go home

The next day, because the contract with the rubber shoe factory did not go well, I did not go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Moreover, because of Jiang Cheng's non-cooperation, he never went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and his shareholder status has not been legally determined.

Because only some of the employees were able to work, there was a lot of quarreling when signing the contract. On the one hand, they fought for the opportunity to stay, and on the other hand, they quarreled with Mu Wen, hoping that the two could increase their staff.In the end, it was Jiang Cheng who proposed to conduct an assessment on the remaining personnel, and to decide whether to stay or not based on the assessment results, and there was no limit to the number of people who barely passed.

After a few days of tossing, Mu Wen finally stayed with 26 people, but because there were four people less than the pre-arranged number, an additional [-] was added to the factory house price.

After going through the transfer procedures, Jiang Cheng supervised the disposal of the old assets in the new factory and painted the factory building.The office building is not renovated, just like the factory building, it is simply painted.

The original conference room was kept, the old office furniture was saved, and two offices were organized.One is the "office". Both he and Mu Wen are in this room, and the other is the financial office. Mu Wen invited a big accountant.

This eldest sister was just 45 years old, and she was a patient Mu Wen had treated before.She has a sharp personality and strong work ability.

Mu Wen's character was reliable, and she was paid well. Her original factory was not profitable, not to mention that her salary was not high, and she often defaulted on arrears, so when Mu Wen visited the thatched cottage, she quickly handled the internal retirement.

Because it was almost Chinese New Year and no new recruits were recruited, Mu Wen and Jiang Cheng worked part-time as cashiers. Of course, they would leave a spare fund for the elder sister when they were not around.

When Jiang Cheng was busy at the new factory, Mu Wen called to confirm the quantity and price of the new equipment, and then went out of the province to buy it with the money order.He is still not at ease, and he will pay only when he sees the real thing, and it is almost Chinese New Year, so he wants to ensure that the equipment can be shipped back as soon as possible.

The raw materials were bought several times, and the two parties already had a preliminary trust, so he paid for the goods and waited for the delivery.

They managed their time very well. When the equipment was in place, the factory building had already been cleaned up. Jiang Cheng was organizing the employees to learn the new factory rules and regulations, operating procedures, and sign employment contracts.

After the equipment was debugged, Mu Wen began to train the staff, and the original three girls stayed in the old factory to catch up with orders...

After being busy for more than a month, everything was finally ready before the new year, and the work started after the new year.

Although Mu Wen was close to home during this time, it took 10 minutes by bicycle, but because he was too busy, he usually came home late, let alone cooking for Mu Chen.Usually, Mu Chen would set aside meals for him, boil the bath water, and wash off his dirty clothes.

The school had already had winter vacation on the tenth day of January, and Mu Chen's final grade was grade [-], and Ding Bowen was number one.

The factory is a well-known middle school with a high enrollment rate every year, so it also gathers outstanding children from the vicinity. Although Mu Chen also works hard, his grades are not as outstanding as those in elementary school.

Xu Rongrong fell out of the top [-], and when the results were announced, she kept saying, "It's too bad, my mother must buy me papers for such a bad exam. I won't talk about Ding Bowen, and I don't usually see Mu Chen." You did one more question than me, why did you do so well in the exam! With you two perverts, I would be compared to a scumbag."

Mu Chen smiled and ignored her, and made an appointment with Ding Bowen to go shopping in the city together to buy some new books years ago, Xu Rongrong yelled again after hearing this, "Add me, how can there be such a fun thing like no loyalty I!"

Muchen took care of himself very well.Doing homework, reading extracurricular books, doing housework, and playing with classmates every day are all arranged in an orderly manner, and they still bring back Yu Yong, who can only be locked at home during the winter vacation in kindergarten.

After a tiring day, Mu Wen returned home. The two children were reading books, watching TV and doing handicrafts. The windows in the room were bright and clean. After he washed his hands and changed his clothes, hot tea and rice were served on the table.

This is the warm family life he has always wanted.The wife did not give it to him, but the son gave it to him.He thought that based on this, he would not regret his marriage.

Mu Wen called Yang Li after the phone was installed at home, but Yang Li didn't reply.Mu Wen sent a text message to her pager with a phone installed at home and a new number, but there was no response either.

It has been almost three months since she left home in early November, and Yang Li has not sent any news back.

Mu Wen thought about all this, how similar it was to her last year of university.Maybe there were too many disappointments, and it was too tiring to maintain a relationship, but the heart-wrenching pain of the past was gone.

With preparation in my heart, I can live my life quietly no matter how sad I am.Fortunately, I have been busy all the time, and I don't have much time to think about things.

The Spring Festival in [-] was February [-]th, which was also the beginning of spring.Years ago, Mu Chen brought Yu Yong back to the village to help grandpa clean up. He knew that the three adults in the family couldn't care about these anymore.

Fortunately, because it is a new house, at least there is no need to paste the ceiling. It is just a routine cleaning, and the bulk of the work is cleaning the glass.However, Grandpa said that the pharmacy in the hospital is very clean, and they are usually cleaned up. The two rooms in the house are only the two they live in, and they don’t cost much.

After the new factory building was tidied up, several machines at home were moved there, and the room became vacant again, and Mu Wen didn't move things back.Besides, if he really wanted to move back, he would at least have to paint the walls. He didn't have time, so he saved Mu Chen some trouble.

Even so, the houses on both sides had to sweep dust, wipe the glass, wash the curtains, wash the sheets and quilt covers, and clean up the corners... It took Mu Chen a busy week to get it done.

The three adults were very pleased, especially seeing Yu Yong following behind, handing things and taking the bench for all kinds of help, they liked it even more.

It was the second day of the Lunar New Year when Yang Li came back.She came back by plane, but the airport was on the outskirts of City Y, and it was nearly a hundred kilometers away from home.I got back home after reversing the car twice, and it was almost time for dinner.

It was expected that I didn't see anyone at home, and they should all be in my hometown at this time.Yang Li thought about it for a while, she was very tired, she just wanted to take a bath, eat something hot and sleep, but she hesitated when she saw that there was nothing in the refrigerator.

She knew the phone number of her hometown hospital, so she took out the company's year-end reward mobile phone and dialed it.

It took a long time for someone to answer the call. The background sound of the phone was very messy. She heard the person on the other side of the phone yelling in dialect for Mu Wen to answer the phone. After a while, Mu Wen's voice sounded, "Hello, who is there?" ?”

The voice was still warm and moist as usual, Yang Li was a little dazed for a while.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and Mu Wen's voice became louder, "Hello? Who is it?"

Yang Li, "It's me, I'm back, I just got off the plane today."

Mu Wen was stunned for a moment, "Well, are you coming? There should be taxis here."

Yang Li, "I'm too tired to move. It took me two trips to get back from the airport. It took longer than flying. Ah Wen, when are you coming back?"

Mu Wen, "Oh, then you should rest at home, I'm busy here, old Uncle Chen and the others are at Dad's place today, and I'm still cooking. I didn't hang up beforehand."

Yang Li looked at the beeping phone in disbelief, and Mu Wen hung up her phone just like that, without any emotion, and her tone was as calm as if she was not his wife whom he hadn't seen in months, but a woman on the street. Met a neighbor who casually said hello.

He didn't ask her what to eat, why she came back so late, and didn't care how she was doing.For a while, the excitement brought about by going home quickly faded.

Yang Li sat on the sofa until it was dark. She didn't have the energy to pack the luggage she brought back, and she didn't even stand up to boil the bath water.After a long time, my body became a little stiff, and I turned on the light and went into the kitchen. Even the small restaurants outside were not open on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Just as he was hesitating to do something to fill his stomach, he heard a knock on the door.Could it be that Muwen is back?She walked quickly to the door, tidied her hair again before opening the door.

Outside the door was the neighbor, Grandma Zhang, holding a big bowl in her hand, "Dr. Mu, you are back, oh, it's Xiao Yang, you are back, these are dumplings made by my house. I just saw your lights on on the balcony I sent it over, you guys have a taste."

Yang Li concealed the disappointment in her heart, and opened the door wide, "Aunt Zhang, come in quickly, Ah Wen is still at my father's place, and he hasn't come back."

Grandma Zhang walked into the room and put the big bowl on the tea table, "Oh, let me just say, in previous years you came back on the fourth and fifth day of junior high, why haven't I seen you all this time?"

Yang Li, "Well, I'm on a business trip. I didn't buy a train ticket years ago, so I just came back today."

Grandma Zhang, "No wonder, this ticket was hard to buy years ago. Let me tell you, you two are too capable. Look at you, you are making progress every year. Dr. Mu opened a factory again this time. Are you two?" One is stronger than the other!"

Yang Li, "What? What kind of factory did Mu Wen open?"

Grandma Zhang couldn't hear what Yang Li said, so she just said to herself, "This dumpling is made of mutton and carrots. Your homemade dumplings are made of pork and celery. You can also eat different flavors. Okay, I'll go first. It’s not tidy yet.”

Yang Li sent Grandma Zhang away in a somewhat numb manner without even saying a word of thanks.Sitting at the table has been watching this bowl of dumplings from steaming to cool down.

She doesn't eat mutton, green onions, leeks, or spicy food, and the dumplings she makes in Muwen are always pork celery, pork cabbage, pork rapeseed, and pork fennel that only she eats.

She doesn't like noodles, and there is always rice on her table.She loves to eat soft-boiled eggs. Whether it is poached eggs or fried eggs, the yolks are the same level of softness and hardness, which is a level that her mother does not have.

From 17 to now, they have been married for [-] years without knowing it.After more than ten years of living together, she has already begun to like the hand-rolled noodles he made, the shredded pancakes he baked, the non-spicy spicy chicken he fried, and even the scallion noodles he made. The taste made her nostalgic even more.

She is not such a sentimental person, but on this New Year's Eve of family reunion, she is alone at home, listening to the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside the window, and facing a bowl of cold dumplings, she doesn't feel mixed tastes.

As if she had thought a lot and didn't think about anything, Yang Li turned off the lights at home because she didn't want to see another acquaintance.Sleeping in the dark without even taking a shower.

After a night of chaotic dreams, it was almost ten o'clock when I opened my eyes.Pack up the messy thoughts, take a shower, dry your hair, find out a bright cashmere coat, put it on and go out.

I went to the store first and bought two bottles of the best wine. Of course, this kind of small store will not be a really big brand.I bought a lot of fruits and snacks, filled five or six bags full, and then took a taxi to my hometown.

The old house has kept the tradition for so many years: on the hot kang, some old men are playing a kind of leaf cards, which she can't understand, and a square table is set up on the ground to play mahjong, Jiang Cheng and Mu Chen are both players, as soon as she enters the house He saw Mu Chen holding a card for Mu Wen to see, and Mu Wen was sitting behind him as an adviser.

There are also a few children watching TV, the room is full of noise, there are melon seed peels, candy wrappers, orange peels on the ground, and a few pairs of smelly old cotton shoes... This is what she is familiar with, and it is also what she dislikes of.
