Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1008 Liang Dongmei's Decision

The next morning, the rooster in the yard dutifully woke everyone up.

The hens swarmed to the spot where Xiaowei's dad had thrown away vegetable leaves yesterday. They remembered there were vegetable leaves there, but after searching around, they found nothing and dispersed, grumbling. The goose gave the hens a disdainful look. Hahaha.

Big Yellow stretched and shook its fur, then began its daily routine patrol. It was hard work; in such a big yard, it was the only dog ​​on duty every day. It was truly a worry to be had.

The water in the middle pond hadn't frozen yet; only the edges were covered with a thin layer of ice. The water was somewhat dark, and occasionally you could catch a glimpse of a fish's back.

There were already quite a few people walking around on the street outside.

The older generation lived by the rhythm of the day, rising with the sun and resting with its setting. When they had nothing to do, they would stroll along the street and feel completely relaxed. Most of the children in this area work at the company here, and in a few families, even the adults have jobs here. With a stable income, life has become more comfortable.

Our ordinary people don't actually ask for much; they can find joy in their own lives.

There was no snow on the road, not even a speck of trash. If a young person dropped something, an elderly person passing by would pick it up and throw it in a roadside trash can, muttering a few curses, regardless of whose child it was. It was all just a matter of habit; this area was full of people from the company, or their families, so naturally, everyone felt like one big family.

As usual, the old man, wearing the leather coat Xiaowei had bought for him, stood at the entrance of the convenience store smoking his pipe, watching the old and young walk in and out with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, give me a pancake." The old man put away his pipe and went to Grandma Xiahe's shop to buy a pancake.

Grandma Xiahe smiled and agreed, picking up a freshly baked pancake, placing it on a piece of straw paper, and handing it to the old man. The old man took the pancake and took a big bite, hissing and smacking his lips from the heat, but he still nodded in satisfaction: "Delicious, tasty. Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are more than enough."

Zhang Wang and his wife walked over with Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu squinted and yawned. Zhang Wang called out "Dad" and said to Grandma Xia He, "Auntie, the usual, five to go, two sugar pancakes, a bowl of soup, and an egg."

Grandma Xiahe kept smiling, agreeing as she went to prepare the food: "Why don't you sit down and eat before you go? It won't make a difference. Eating while walking is not good and can easily upset your stomach. Eating a pancake and drinking a bowl of soup will help with digestion." She first handed two sugar pancakes to Zhang Fu, and then brought over a bowl of soup.

The old man said, "Let's eat and go, it won't make a difference. Winter camping is different from summer, have a bowl of hot soup. Elder, you're wearing a light rain, can a woman be like you, a man, especially with such a big belly?"

Grandma Xiahe asked, "How many months along are you? Judging by the looks, it should be a little boy. You're going to be a grandfather soon, and someone will be pulling your beard from now on."

The old man stuffed a piece of flatbread into his mouth, wiped his hands with a piece of straw paper, and said with a smile, "Boys and girls are the same, I've never thought about this. Our family is not short of people now, it would be even better if we had a girl, that would be perfect."

Grandma Xiahe served Zhang Wang and his wife some flatbread and soup, saying, "You're such a good family, so harmonious and peaceful. All five or six young men are promising, Wang."

The factory girls also came to buy pancakes, but most of them couldn't bear to eat their fill on them. Two people would buy one, tear it open, and laugh contentedly as they went to the canteen. The canteen also had eggs in the morning, one for each person.

After a while, Li Na came down for dinner. She greeted the old man and ordered some sweet pancakes and soup. The old man said, "Eat more. Look how thin you are, you're practically a stick. Have an egg too."

Li Na said, "I can't eat. Besides, I've gained weight recently, several pounds, I'm not losing weight."

The old man said, "I've been away on business lately, and it's not easy for you to take care of things at home by yourself. Make sure you eat well, sleep well, and learn to take care of yourself. Haven't your family come to visit?"

Li Na said, "No, I'm the one who goes back. It's not far anyway. I go back every ten days or so. The old couple is living a very comfortable life."

Xiao Wei, Xiao Hong, Xia Maosheng, and Geng Hui carried Xia Gensheng as they walked over, and the small shop became lively.

The old man asked, "Where are Xiao Hui and his wife? Still not up? These two lazybones." He reached out and picked up Xia Gensheng, who was still dozing off, and told Xia Maosheng and Geng Hui to eat properly.

After the meal, everyone dispersed. Xiao Wei went to his office, made himself some tea, and took out his large notebook to read.

At 8:30, Shi Li arrived at work and picked up a rag to clean. Milina was still in Xidu.

At 8:50, Shi Li had just finished tidying up the house and sat down to flip through some documents when the elevator doors opened and Liang Dongmei arrived.

Once inside, Xiaowei glanced around and asked, "Where's your Chen Lei? Aren't you two always inseparable?"

Liang Dongmei said, "I was eating downstairs when I smelled the aroma of the pancakes and it made my mouth water."

Xiao Wei led Liang Dongmei to the sofa and said with a smile, "Then you might have to keep an eye on him. He might end up as a big fat man in the future."

Liang Dongmei said, "He's been fat for a long time. I only weigh 90 pounds, but he's almost 200. I sleep far away from him at night, afraid that he might accidentally crush me while sleeping. I feel like a kitten next to him."

Xiao Wei said, "You two seem to get along very well, always inseparable. Are you classmates?"

Liang Dongmei nodded: "If we weren't classmates, would I have been so easily fooled? I didn't know anything back then. Besides, he wasn't inseparable from me because we were close. He's petty and probably jealous. If I didn't let him cause trouble, my dad wouldn't even look at him."

Xiao Wei laughed heartily. Shi Li came over to make tea for Liang Dongmei, and Xiao Wei said, "Write down Director Liang's contact information." Liang Dongmei took a business card and handed it to Shi Li.

Xiao Wei asked, "What were your considerations?"

Liang Dongmei said, "Of course I'll work for you guys; it's good to be under your protection. But how will we settle the accounts later?"

Xiao Wei said, "We operate on an independent accounting basis, keeping things separate and following the market. We quote prices as they should and collect payments as they should. However, we still need to consider the price and try to keep it as low as possible while ensuring profits. Even though it's just money transferring between two hands, we still have to pay taxes. Plus, it involves costs and pricing issues on the other side."

Liang Dongmei nodded and asked, "Where will the factory be built? What will we use it for?"

Xiao Wei asked, "How did you negotiate this? What are your demands regarding the shares?"

Liang Dongmei said, "How about we take three million, which is 40%? Let's calculate it as ten million."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, you can manage the factory, 40% and 40% respectively, but you must manage it well and meet the requirements in all aspects."

Liang Dongmei said, "That's definitely no problem. This way, we'll have less to worry about. You have no idea how difficult it was for us to get business before. We were treated like servants everywhere we went, always having to put on airs. Even a little Samaritan could act all high and mighty. It was disgusting."

Xiao Wei said, "If you still have the energy to go out and attract business after production starts next year, then I really have to look at you in a different light, which means you've done a good job."
