Chapter 390: Inquiry
Xu Jingsi left the hospital and went straight to the bus stop. Her bicycle was at the company, so she could only take the bus.
She told Feng Yubo before that when she had something to do with his car, she wanted to go to the nursing home. She hadn't been there for a while. At that time, she told Mrs. Fu that when the hot pot restaurant opened, she would treat her to hot pot. She wanted to
I took advantage of the fact that I was not busy and picked her up in Feng Yubo's car. I couldn't use the car at the moment, so I had to give up this idea and wait for another day.
She is going to a hot pot restaurant for dinner.
In fact, it's not too far from here to the hot pot restaurant. It takes about twenty minutes by bicycle, but it takes more than half an hour by bus because there is no direct connection.
It was already two o'clock when we arrived at the hot pot restaurant. The lobby was empty except for the cleaners who were cleaning. Everyone in the kitchen except the dishwasher Sister Liu had got off work.
Xu Jingsi was going crazy with hunger. She took six or seven frozen prawns from the freezer, cleaned them, then turned on the stove, stir-fried the prawns with chopped green onion and shredded ginger in a pot until the aroma was fragrant, and then added
Water, as soon as the water boiled, she put the noodles in and waited for them to be cooked.
Smelling the delicious aroma emanating from the pot, Xu Jingsi's mouth watered. She went to see that there was still a little boiled ginger and jujube tea left in the copper pot, so she heated it and poured it into her own cup.
By the time she washed the pot out, it was already cooked.
Xu Jingsi swallowed her saliva while serving the noodles, and thought to herself, if there are leeks, sprinkle some chives and moss on it, this noodles will be amazing!
She took the bowl, chopsticks and ginger-date tea and went out, found a table and sat down. Yuan Xiaoling happened to be on duty today, so she walked over and asked, "Mr. Xu, why are you eating?"
Xu Jingsi picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and said while cooling them, "Sit down for a while and chat."
Yuan Xiaoling sat down.
Xu Jingsi smiled and said, "The store has been very busy recently. How are you? Do you feel tired?"
Because she has not been in the sun for the past few months, Yuan Xiaoling's complexion looks much better, and her smile is very bright. "In the words of my cousin, I am tired here and it is worth it. I am relaxed at home, but who will pay for it. But at home
It’s not easy either, I have to carry firewood from the mountains to my home every day during this season.”
"There are mountains over there from your house."
"yes."
"It's really nice," Xu Jingsi was envious. "The scenery must be very good."
Her dream was to have a piece of land in a beautiful place and build a big house with open space in front where she could grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. She could climb to the top of the mountain to see the stars in the summer and hide in the winter.
In the house, burning the stove and watching the white snow outside...
Think about it, this little day is so beautiful!
Yuan Xiaoling sighed and said unabashedly, "They are poor. Like Zhang Xiaohu's family, their land was divided, and they could still make do with enough to eat. But like our family, even though their land was divided, they couldn't do much.
For food, we have to dig wild vegetables all year round. We can’t even say eating bran vegetables, but if we want to eat white flour steamed buns every day, that is something we dare not even think about.”
"It's definitely not cost-effective to grow food in the mountains. Just plant fruit trees."
Yuan Xiaoling smiled bitterly, "With that little land, who would be willing to plant fruit trees?"
Xu Jingsi thought to herself that in this era, the conditions in mountainous areas are not as good as those in plain areas, but in the next ten or twenty years, once the national economic situation improves, it will not necessarily be the case once the tourism industry is developed.
She comforted, "Don't worry, the country is in a good situation now and it will get better."
Yuan Xiaoling nodded. She was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should talk about that matter...but Xu was always a good person. Whether at work or in life, she always encouraged others to be positive and never hurt anyone.
.
"Mr. Xu..."
Xu Jingsi listened to Yuan Xiaoling's hesitant tone and smiled slightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Yuan Xiaoling gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "Mr. Xu, Manager Hou started asking around about Master Hu's salary as soon as he got to work this morning."
Hou Meihua asked about Hu Yaojun's treatment?
Xu Jingsi asked quietly, "Who are you asking about?"
"Those people in the kitchen, I happened to hear it when I went to the backyard to get something."
Xu Jingsi's thoughts moved slightly, "Do she and Master Hu usually talk a lot?"
"We haven't had much conversation, Mr. Xu, is Master Hu's salary quite high?"
Xu Jingsi remembers very clearly that Yuan Xiaoling and others' monthly salary is almost fifty yuan, but Hou Meihua's salary plus bonus this month totaled more than eighty yuan, which was much higher than when she was the foreman.
Xu Jingsi said, "Master Hu's salary is almost twenty yuan higher than Manager Hou's salary."
Yuan Xiaoling was surprised by Xu Jingsi's calmness, but then she took it for granted. After all, Mr. Xu was magnanimous and this was her way of doing things.
Of course it is impossible for Xu Jingsi to say that Hu Yaojun has shares. He bought the shares based on his technology. How many people have such ability?
"Manager Hou asked about whose treatment?"
Yuan Xiaoling shook her head, "I don't know anything else."
"Thank you for telling me this, just pretend I don't know about it."
Yuan Xiaoling was very embarrassed and said slowly, "Mr. Xu, I always feel that it is not good to talk about people behind their backs."
Xu Jingsi looked at her young, sincere and slightly ashamed face, and consoled her, "You are telling the truth, and you are not speaking ill of her. What's wrong with that? Besides, if I know, I will pretend I don't know."
"
Yuan Xiaoling took a breath, looked at her face and said, "Mr. Xu, the noodles you make smell so delicious."
"If you sprinkle some chive foam on it, it will taste better. I'll teach you how to make it. When you and Xiaohu have a child, you can make it for him. The child will definitely love it."
"Oh," Yuan Xiaoling heard Xu Jingsi teasing her and Zhang Xiaohu, and her face turned red, "Mr. Xu!"
...
Eating the delicious prawn noodles and drinking the sweet ginger-date tea, Xu Jingsi's whole body felt warm. It was so comfortable. This is life.
Why did Hou Meihua ask about Master Hu's salary? Was he curious or dissatisfied with his own treatment?
According to the current salary level, more than 80 yuan a month is quite enough. Hou Meihua's last salary was only 50 yuan a month. She couldn't be dissatisfied with her salary, right?
Xu Jingsi thought about it seriously, and she felt that there were only these two possibilities.
The employees in the store started to go to work, and she got busy with everyone.
Of course, when Xu Jingsi saw Hou Meihua, she still paid special attention, but she didn't see anything wrong. She thought that Hou Meihua might have asked about Master Hu's salary out of curiosity.
That night, Xu Jingsi stayed at the hot pot restaurant until seven o'clock. When Wen Tingjun came to pick her up on his motorcycle, she went back with him.
On the way back, Xu Jingsi told Wen Tingjun about Lu Kui coming over, but she didn't tell him about Lu Kui deliberately taking a cold bath for herself to get sick. Wen Tingjun and Feng Yubo have such a good relationship, she dared to say that she did today
