Chapter 51

Wei Caixia works in the Zhongzhou Food Factory, and her husband works in the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau. They are both very popular units at present. The family’s economic conditions are good. Nowadays, the houses are all divided by units, and children can’t spend much money on education. There are people like this Ability to pursue quality of life.

So when she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and saw Hailan eggs, she made a note of it. She went to the vegetable market early this morning, and after a long squeeze, she finally bought five catties of eggs.

After buying the eggs, there was still enough time for her to go home, but she didn't go back, but went to work with the eggs.

"Yo, Caixia, did you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables?" Walking to the door of the unit, she met Gao Xiaoqin, a colleague from the financial office.

Upon hearing this, Wei Caixia was overjoyed, and quickly took out two Hailan eggs to show her, "Yes, I went to buy five catties of American eggs! Look at this head, they are bigger than our local eggs!"

The words "American eggs" are accented, and now even the other colleagues passing by are curious and look at the two brown eggs.

"Yo, this one has to be more than one or two?"

"One is one or two, twelve is exactly one and a half catties!"

"Is it expensive?"

"It's two yuan a catty!" Wei Caixia ignored the change of two cents. "It's much more expensive than other eggs. I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, so I bought some to try something new."

"That's really expensive. The day before yesterday, I bought local eggs for only one yuan and eighty catties!"

"Hey, it would be cruel to put it on me. You and Brother Qingqing both have high wages, and you can eat eggs that cost two yuan!" Wei Caixia's husband is Liu Qingqing.

I love to hear that, next time you come to the financial office to claim reimbursement, I'll do it for you quickly!Wei Caixia couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. This feeling was even more satisfying than drinking iced locomotive soda produced by her own factory on a hot day.

"Where did you buy it? I'll buy some when I get off work!" Some people were annoyed. I and you earn about the same salary. Why can you eat American eggs?

"It's in the market, the innermost stall in the second row! But it's sold out early in the morning, so I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it after get off work!" No matter how capable you are, you have to wait until you want to eat American eggs. Go tomorrow, why can't I eat today!
"Oh, that's the one! The last time I went to buy vegetables, I saw a sign on their stall, saying that there are seven days before the release of Hailan eggs in the United States!" Someone remembered.

There are more and more people blocking the entrance of the food factory, all wanting to see what American eggs look like, until the bell rang for work, everyone reluctantly left.

Back in their respective workshops and offices, the news that Wei Caixia bought American eggs quickly spread throughout the factory, and everyone knew about it.

Now Wei Caixia's office has become more lively than the vegetable market, as long as they can spare time, they will come to the financial room to watch the excitement.

"Is this an American egg? It looks different! Look at the color, look at the head, it's better than the eggs we usually buy!"

"Either it costs two yuan a catty!"

Everyone stopped working, so they gathered around the desk, staring at the eggs on the table, marveling at them, and some people dared not touch them even if they wanted to.

"Here, take it and try it." Wei Caixia got up so early and paid such an expensive price for eggs, isn't that the reason?Immediately pick up the egg and pass it to someone, let them take a closer look.

The colleague took the egg carefully, holding it in one hand while holding the other hand underneath, for fear that the egg would fall to the ground and break.

Quite a few people pouted secretly, wondering what the air is, isn’t it just two yuan a catty, it’s as if no one can afford it, I’ll get up early tomorrow morning and go to the vegetable market to line up, I don’t believe I can’t buy it.

Hehe, so what if you can buy it?Is it too late?My old lady, I was the first one in our factory to eat American eggs, Wei Caixia sneered in her heart, she guessed what these people were thinking.

This is similar to the launch of the latest Apple mobile phone in later generations. For some people, it is only worth showing off when they get it on the first day. Mostly.

"Ahem, what are you doing? You don't have to work, do you?" A cough interrupted the bustle of the financial room, and the director of the food factory appeared at the door.

The bustling office just now quieted down instantly, and the people in other offices and workshops immediately left with their heads shrunk in desperation.

When the people were almost gone, the factory manager greeted, "Caixia, come to my office!"

Wei Caifeng responded, and hurriedly followed, secretly looking at the factory manager's sagging face, feeling uneasy in her heart, isn't she going to be scolded this time?

But when he arrived at his office, the factory manager immediately became amiable, "Caixia, I heard that you bought some American eggs today? I wonder if these eggs are good for making egg cakes?"

Wei Caixia understood in seconds, "Director, you are still concerned about the development of our factory! When I saw this American egg, I only thought about whether it tastes good or not. How is the taste different from our local eggs? If I can think of getting it like you How about making chicken cakes?"

"I'll give you two catties right now, you study it slowly!" Wei Caixia still doesn't know what the factory director means?He was just hungry and wanted to eat, but he was too embarrassed to speak out.

"Okay, how much did you pay for it? I'll reimburse you! It's like buying a sample from the factory!" The factory manager has peace in his heart, and he likes such smart and sensible subordinates.

Bah, look at your stingy virtue, you are reluctant to pay four yuan by yourself, Wei Caixia complained endlessly in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, she complimented her a few more times, and then went back and brought the eggs over.

When returning home from get off work in the evening, Wei Caixia carried the egg back to the family building of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and brought the egg to the most conspicuous angle before entering the door, and carried it from time to time when gossiping with others.

Finally, it caught the attention of a neighbor, "Caixia, where did you buy the eggs? Why are they so big?"

Wei Caixia immediately beamed with joy, "This is the American egg mentioned in the newspaper, and it is bigger than our local eggs!"

"American eggs? Must be very expensive?" These four words caused another exclamation.

Then the scene at the gate of the food factory in the morning was repeated again. Soon, everyone in the yard knew that Wei Caixia was going to eat American eggs tonight!
Wei Caixia is also reluctant to go home now, and she is happily talking about her experience of buying eggs downstairs.

Liu Qingqing's son looked down eagerly on the balcony, "Dad, I'm hungry, when will Mom come back to cook?"

"Just wait, it took less than half an hour for such a brilliant event, and your mother would never want to come back!" After more than ten years of marriage, Liu Qingqing had already figured out his wife's temper.
