Chapter 310 Stocking
The New Year is just around the corner, and as Li Tang said, every household is busy preparing New Year's goods.

After getting off work in the afternoon, I returned to the courtyard of the fertilizer factory. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I could smell the fragrance wafting everywhere in the yard. The fragrance was even stronger after I returned home.

When she heard her man coming back, Song Xiaohui ran over from the backyard holding something in her chopsticks.

"Have a try, the freshly fried radish balls."

"Hmm... hiss... delicious, fragrant!"

"Hehe, right? I think it's delicious too."

"Why do I still feel a bit meaty?"

"I discussed with our mother and put some minced meat in it."

"It's delicious! Eh? Where is our dad?"

Li Tang, who took off his cotton-padded jacket, looked back and forth and found that he didn't see the old man, so he asked curiously.

"Our dad just called back and said that he would be back a little later because of something unexpected."

"Oh! Did you contact your parents in the provincial capital today? When will they come back?"

Because both daughters were at Li's house, and the Chinese New Year celebrations together were really lively, Song's father and Song's mother, under the strong invitation of their two sons-in-law, agreed to come over during the holiday.

"It's already [-] pm at the earliest. You don't know about my dad's job. You can't leave early even if you want. My mom told us to eat first."

As the young couple talked, Li Tang had already washed his hands and came to the backyard in a few steps. There was a gas stove, a stove, and his own stove, all of which were burning.

"Third son, hurry up and get rid of your pile of pig trotters, offal, pig heads, and elbows. It makes my head hurt."

When she saw her youngest son coming back, Mother Li pointed to the big iron basin placed in the corner of the kitchen.

"I'll make it tonight. Mom, what's steaming on the stove? Steamed buns?"

"No, the big stove is steamed buns. On the gas stove is sweet rice on one side and meat on the other. What time is it now, Huihui? The steamed buns should be almost ready."

"Oh, that's right, it's already 45:[-], so I'll take off the steamed buns, Mom."

"Third son, go and unload."

"I know"

"Your dad doesn't know what's going on today. He has something to do at the last moment. Don't come up with something else during the New Year."

Mother Li stood by the stove, lowering her head and frying radish balls as she spoke.

"No way. I saw Uncle Meng when I first came back. He's already back. I think it won't be a big deal."

"Who knows, I heard a lot of people in the factory talking privately, saying that Director Su, who came down from the department, has a lot of things to do and is like a busybody all day long. Maybe he caused some trouble again. "

Director Su, the new director of the fertilizer plant, has been in office for two months. Li Tang only took a look at him from a distance while sitting in the car before New Year's Day. He was said to be in his early fifties, but his appearance seemed to be much older. , his hair is mostly gray, and he is five years younger than Dad Li, but when they stand together, no one would think that Dad Li is the older one.

Also, Li Tang has been treating his parents over the years. They are all 55 or [-] years old. He has no white hair on his head and no particularly obvious wrinkles or spots on his face. He looks at least ten years younger than his actual age.

Li's mother will be 55 in March. She has hardly gone to work since the winter last year. Occasionally she used to find people to chat with. Now she just hangs out with a group of old sisters and plays cards. She is in high spirits. It looks better than when I was at work.

Director Su, who came down from above, didn't know if he was anxious to establish his authority or for some reason. As soon as he came down, he was eager to talk to middle-level cadres one by one and arrange group study sessions for members.Normally, this is his normal job, but the cadres and workers below seem to dislike everything about him.

"I came here in accordance with the ministry's personnel arrangements. It was already depressing to come from Sijiu City to a place like ours, but if the people below don't cooperate with the work, Director Su will be wronged."

Li Tang wanted to laugh when he heard what his mother said. The fertilizer factory was famous for being xenophobic, but things are getting better now. He still remembered that when they were young, those foreign cadres couldn't live here in the first few months. Anping, those kids lined up to hit the glass with rocks.

When the Meng family first came here, many windows were smashed, and Comrade Lao Meng has now become a member of the xenophobic group.

Mother Li is not the kind of unreasonable person, and she felt happy after hearing what her youngest son said.

"Hey, who can I blame? I blame him for his misfortune. How can I put it? In fact, in the past few years that your uncle Jiang has been the director, he has treated him as a good person, but he has indeed not done a good job in organizational work. You will know it day by day. Smoking, now suddenly there is a director who is very strict about this aspect of work. He also wants to study and have a heart-to-heart experience through talking every three days, so I won’t bother anyone.”

As she spoke, Mother Li seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and glanced at Li Tang, who was unloading the steamed buns, and asked, "Third son, I remember you said at that time, is the director of your company retiring soon?"

"Isn't that right? If you work for one more year this year, you should quit next year."

Unloading all the steamed buns from the pot and basket onto the chopping board, a fat and white man made me want to pounce on him and take a bite.

Li Tang didn't hesitate at all. After unloading his front legs, he didn't care that the water left in the pot on the stove was still gurgling. He picked up a steamed bun, broke it open regardless of whether it was hot or not, and then took the cooked steamed bun from the cupboard. Take out the oil, scoop out a piece with a spoon and spread it into the steamed buns.

"I want to eat too!"

Seeing her husband's actions, Song Xiaohui felt that she could hardly control her saliva. She steamed the hot steamed buns that had just come out of the pan, added some oil, and added some spicy oil. Tsk tsk... the taste was delicious.

"Mom, do you want to eat?"

"You two can eat, I won't. If you stand in front of the oil pan for a day, I will be full just from the smell."

"I'll finish the steamed buns. Mom, you can go inside and rest. I'll come."

"You're so busy here alone. You need braised meat and fried things."

"It's okay, just take your time."

"Hey, don't interrupt. What did I just ask? Oh, by the way, the director of your company."

"What's wrong? Didn't I say that Director Ye will finish his job this year and then retire next year?"

"Then you will send another one from the province?"

"Who knows, how can I love you?"

Li Tang has absolutely no regard for who will be arranged to come over in the future. It doesn't matter who comes anyway. The entire Qinshan Pharmaceutical revolves around him. Moreover, the company is different from the local government. The company is under the responsibility system of the factory director or general manager, who is the absolute top leader. The organizational director is just a support person.

"Ah..."

Taking the steamed bun from Li Tang's hand, Song Xiaohui took a big mouthful of it, so beautiful that her big eyes narrowed into slits.

"Mom, it's delicious. Sanzi, you can get one for our mother too."

She hadn't yet swallowed the food in her mouth. Listening to the vague words, Li Ma felt happy looking at her daughter-in-law's greedy behavior.
