After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that it was still early and Liu Ermei hadn't started class yet, so she didn't leave immediately, but sat on the kang and chatted with Liu Ermei's family.
"Dad, why have you smoked dry cigarettes more and more recently?" Liu Ermei asked when she saw Liu Pingjiang smoking one dry cigarette after another.
"When I feel irritable, smoking will make me feel more relaxed."
"What happened?"
"The efficiency of the food processing factory is getting worse and worse. I heard from the superiors that if this continues, the food processing factory will not be able to operate."
"How could this happen? Didn't you say some time ago that many people came to the factory to place orders?"
"It is true that many people went to the factory to place orders, but the orders they placed were all for pickled cucumbers. It is not the season for cucumbers, so it is useless for them to place orders."
"Uncle Pingjiang, can't you sell everything else in the factory?"
"Yes, because those things are available elsewhere, and others will not come to us to place orders."
"It stands to reason that there is a shortage of supplies now, so there should not be a situation where things cannot be sold."
"Xiaoxiao, canned goods are rare and not everyone can afford them, so supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores don't buy too many goods. That's why the canned goods processed in the factory cannot be sold. "
After hearing Liu Pingjiang's words, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that this was not the past life, and canned goods were not something that everyone could afford.
So she said to Liu Pingjiang: "Uncle Pingjiang, the factory director will definitely find a way to solve the canned sales problem. It has been less than a year since the food processing plant was built, and the factory director will definitely not let it close down."
"Dad, Xiaoxiao is right. You don't need to worry so much. Besides, now that our family has a house, even if you can't continue working in the factory, our family can live a good life."
"Master, Xiaoxiao and Second Sister are right, you can relax."
"Okay, I listen to you. If the sky falls and there are tall people holding it up, what should I be afraid of?"
Mrs. Liu and Second Sister Liu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Pingjiang's words. They were really afraid that Liu Pingjiang would get into trouble. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao came today, otherwise Liu Pingjiang would not have figured it out so easily.
"Aunt Liu, Uncle Pingjiang, it's getting late, so I'll go back to the county first." Lu Xiaoxiao was afraid that Liu Biao would go to her house to look for her, so she planned to go home early to prevent Liu Biao from finding her.
"Xiaoxiao, I'll take you to the entrance of the village. It just so happens that it's almost time for class."
"good."
"Xiaoxiao, wait a minute. I've prepared some food for you to take home to eat. I heard from my second sister that it's hard to buy food in the county."
"It's really hard to buy food in the county, so today I shamelessly accepted the food my aunt gave me."
"You don't have to be so polite to us. There is nothing in the countryside, just a lot of vegetables. If you finish eating in the future, you can go to my aunt's house to get it."
"Okay, I won't be polite to my aunt."
After Mrs. Liu heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she immediately got off the kang happily and went to get vegetables for Lu Xiaoxiao. After a while, she carried a basket of vegetables and handed them to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the vegetables handed to her by Mrs. Liu, she saw a salted pig's head in the basket on her back, so she said to Ms. Liu: "Aunt Liu, I can take the green vegetables, but I can't take the salted pig's head."
"Xiaoxiao, I have a lot of salted pig heads at home. You can take this salted pig head back to eat during the New Year. Your brother likes eating salted pig heads, doesn't he?"
