"And there's making money, which is meant to be spent. Don't be stingy with it. Let's go shopping together sometime when we have some free time."

"Mom will buy you a good set of skincare products, a pretty outfit, and little shoes. I'll get you everything."

She has a job now, earning 48 yuan a month. She hasn't even finished last month's salary, and she'll be getting paid again soon this month.

It adds up to almost a hundred. Back in her hometown, she never imagined that she would earn such a high salary in a single day.

She's lucky to have such a capable daughter who has helped her, as her mother, live such a good life.

A warm feeling welled up in Xu Sui's heart, and she smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Mom, no need. Keep your money for yourself. I have money, you don't need to buy it for me."

"No, no, Mom is going to buy it for you. No matter how old you are, you're still a child in Mom's eyes. It's perfectly normal for a mother to buy things for her daughter."

"Be good, listen to me. This is the first time Mommy has been a leader and the first time I've received such a high salary. Mommy just wants to spend money on you."

Wang Yinhua reached out and gently touched her daughter's head, as if she were back in her daughter's childhood.

Seeing that Wang Yinhua was happy, Xu Sui let her go.

Before I knew it, it was time to leave work.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and Wang Yinhua won't be working. She usually lives at the factory, which is good.

However, there is one drawback: everyone in the factory is off work on weekends, and there is no one there at all; even the canteen is closed.

Xu Sui decided to take her mother home to the family compound for two days.

There were two beds in Old Lady Qin's room, separated by a curtain.

Grandma Qin and Wang Yinhua actually got along quite well. When they were together, they would talk endlessly, sometimes even after the lights were turned off, for most of the night, and they wouldn't be able to get up the next day.

The two of them also knew how to enjoy themselves. They placed a small table between the two beds, with some roasted melon seeds behind it, so they could chat and eat melon seeds while also having some snacks.

Even Xu Sui didn't know how the two of them could have so much to talk about.

Even when they were in their hometown, they didn't talk much.

Just as Xu Sui was about to leave work and take Wang Yinhua home to their family compound, Wang Yinhua stopped her and pulled her to the canteen.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Let's rush to the cafeteria and grab a good piece of meat before everyone gets off work."

His mother dragged him all the way to the cafeteria, where he saw a big, fat pig that had already been slaughtered.

Xu Sui finally remembered.

She almost forgot in her busy schedule that she brought over a big, fat pig today and had the canteen slaughter it so that it could be distributed to all the factory workers.

That pig weighed over 160 jin (approximately 80 kg). There were only a few dozen people in the factory, so each person would get more than a jin (approximately 0.5 kg) of it.

Wang Yinhua quickly pulled Xu Sui to join the queue. There was no one there at the moment, only the cafeteria staff.

She immediately pushed Xu Sui to the first position, and then stood behind Xu Sui herself, quickly saying to the staff.

"Hurry up, hurry up, pick out a good piece of meat for the factory manager. He likes meat with a good balance of fat and lean."

"My piece of meat needs to be a bit fattier, but not too fat."

The cafeteria staff were more excited to see Xu Sui than to see anyone else; their faces flushed with excitement, and they all started to greet her.

"Factory manager, you're here. Factory manager, which piece of meat do you want? I'll cut it for you."

Xu Sui smiled faintly and pointed to the piece of pork belly.

"Then please cut this piece for me."

Although she and Qin Yunzhou are earning a lot of money now, the meat coupons they receive each month are only so many, and they are all rationed, which is not enough to eat at all.

The adults are fine, but the children in the family are still growing, so we can't be careless about their nutrition. Therefore, in order to solve this problem...

Qin Yunzhou also specially asked his friends in Beijing to send him some milk powder and calcium tablets to supplement the child's nutrition.

However, no matter how good those things are, in this day and age, nothing tastes as good as meat.

In no time at all, a large, beautiful piece of pork belly was cut off and brought to Xu Sui.

"So much?" Xu Sui was a little surprised. She glanced at the meat she was carrying; it was heavy, weighing at least five or six pounds.

"You don't need to give me special treatment, just give me the normal amount."

"Factory manager, you've misunderstood. We didn't give you any special treatment. This is based on the factory manager's quota."

The cafeteria staff quickly offered an explanation.

"This pig is quite heavy, and our factory only has a few dozen people. It's not easy to divide it equally among everyone, so we'll distribute the meat according to their positions in the factory."

Wang Yinhua nodded in agreement.

That's the right way to divide things up. Otherwise, if everyone does different jobs but gets the same things, who would want to climb the ladder?

Now, besides her daughter, she holds the highest position in this factory.

These days I'm working myself to the bone, busy with all sorts of things, sometimes so busy that I don't even have time to eat. The pressure I'm under is several times greater than that of ordinary workers.

She earned these benefits through hard work and perseverance.

Xu Sui nodded, but didn't say anything more.

That's certainly the case. The higher the position, the greater the pressure and the more responsibilities one has, so the benefits and compensation must also be adequate to avoid any complaints.

She was the factory manager and received six jin of meat, while Wang Yinhua, the production director, received four jin.

The two of them together weigh about ten pounds.

After some consideration, Wang Yinhua decided to replace all her meat with fatty pork.

Fatty pork is very oily and juicy, making it the most popular cut. Rendering it into oil is enough to feed the whole family for a while.

My mother-in-law is coming here the day after tomorrow, so I need to prepare more nourishing foods for her.

Other workers also came to collect the meat one after another.

Everyone was incredibly hungry, staring longingly, just waiting for their share of the meat.

Just as Xu Sui and Wang Yinhua were carrying the heavy load of meat out...

Xiao Fen rushed over to collect the meat, running like the wind, her heart and eyes filled with thoughts of her own flesh.

Just missed the two of them.

This is meat! This is meat! This is the first time she's been allocated meat at her workplace.

The family of three has been in this place for a month or two. Although both husband and wife are employed and they only have one child, they don't receive many meat ration coupons each month.

The family of three still lived a meager existence, having gone without meat for a long time.

I don't know how Xu Sui is so capable. She just got two for the machinery factory a few days ago, and today she got one for the textile factory as well.

Sigh, the gap between their two families is widening.

Fortunately, they have now latched onto Xu Sui and her husband, and their future looks increasingly promising.

……

Xu Sui, accompanied by Wang Yinhua and carrying so much meat, returned to the family compound once again.
