Chapter 285
Returning to the Little Red Mansion made the mother-daughter pair of Ms. Zhu and Ms. Zhu overly excited, tossing and turning until the middle of the night that night, and in the morning, they were somewhat unable to get up.
Su Chunjun was the hardest worker in the family and had to get up early to run around.
He waited at the bottom of the stairs for a long time and didn’t see his fiancée coming downstairs, so he had to go upstairs and knock on the door.
The Zhu family mother and daughter did not share a room, but in accordance with the original habit of living in the original house.
That room was originally the master bedroom, there are two large bedrooms, one for Mr., one for Mrs., separated by a door.
When the Zhu family lived here, one side of the room was used as the living room, the other side was used as the dining room, and some of the small function rooms were treated as the family’s bedrooms, and only the room that was originally given to the maid and the housekeeper was given to Mrs. Zhang.
Now that she was back, Ms. Zhu’s original room had been converted into a study or a small living room, and fortunately, the original dining room had been turned back into a bedroom, leaving her with a bed. This is where she rests.
Ms. Zhu, on the other hand, stayed in Mr.’s bedroom, and after everyone went back to bed, she hid all the jewels in the safe in the master bedroom, which is considered to be another half-night of hard work.
When Su Chunjun knocked on the door, only Zhang Ma answered.
Zhang Ma was boiling water in the kitchen that had been converted into a teahouse, complaining that things had been relocated, and even the sink she was used to had been removed, which was inconvenient.
Mr. Su knocked on the door to ask for good morning and to say goodbye, he had to go to work, said, his head toward the house.
Zhang Ma blocked him: “Don’t look, both of them are not up yet. Are you leaving?” Zhang Ma glanced at the clock, “Ouch, it’s already this time? I got up late too.”
Su Chunjun: “It’s okay, everyone was tired yesterday, you should rest more today.”
Mrs. Zhang pushed him away and headed out, “How can I rest? How can I rest? What will they eat when they get up later? Besides, I can’t ask you to leave on an empty stomach.”
Zhang Ma went downstairs to the kitchen, complaining all the way, “This is too inconvenient. Alas, I used to be able to cook in the house, but now with this change, I don’t know where to cook. Now I don’t know where to cook. If I have to go downstairs to cook a meal, don’t I have to serve it to them later? I’ll have to wait for them to finish eating and then bring it down? This is going to tire me out.”
Su Chunjun followed the whole way, pointing out the way while comforting, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring the maid back in the afternoon, so I won’t let you get tired.”
Luckily, there were many canned goods and emergency foodstuffs placed here, all of which were issued to Su Chunjun as military supplies.
Zhang Ma was relieved to see that there were eggs, and even happier when she saw the powdered milk.
“I’m sorry for the aggravation, let’s eat boiled eggs first this morning.” Zhang Ma said.
The gas in the kitchen was already on and the gas stove was brand new.
Zhang Ma turned on the main switch, first lit the fire twist, then unscrewed the gas stove, and then lit the fire, a pass of operation like flowing water, leaving Su Chunjun, who wanted to give her a few pointers on the side, with no use.
“You are really great, you know how to use the gas stove, I didn’t even know how to use it when I first saw it.” He complimented.
Zhang Ma squinted at him, “Who are you underestimating? When I came out to work as a maid, I wasn’t as good as you!”
She worked as a servant for rich and noble families, so of course she could use all these western things.
“I also know how to use a grill.” Zhang Ma saw that there was a gas oven next to her, a square oven that could roast a whole chicken, and sighed, “If it were before, where would I have needed to go out and buy cookies for Yan Yan? I would have made them for her myself.”
Unfortunately, after moving upstairs, the kitchen was locked and the oven was left unused.
Zhang Ma instructed him, “You must keep an eye on Yan Yan! Don’t let her use the gas oven. It will blow up the house!”
Su Chunjun nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely keep an eye on her.”
Zhang Ma glanced at him, sighed and shook her head, “Alas, forget it, I can’t expect you to keep an eye on her.”
While talking, the eggs were already boiled. Zhang Ma went upstairs again to bring down the boiled water to brew the coffee powder, she put the can of powdered milk away and said, “This will be brewed for Yan Yan when she wakes up, so you don’t drink it, have coffee.”
Su Chunjun definitely agrees, and eats the eggs with the coffee – Zhang Ma is very truthful and cooks a pot in one sitting.
He said, “I’ll order milk today and send fresh milk every day from now on. Anything else you want, say it all together, and I’ll have the Quartermaster’s Department send it all.”
Zhang Ma froze, sat down and stared at him, “Yo, in that case, anything can be delivered? Then what if I want small yellow fish?”
Su Chunjun: “Both. Fresh fish and vegetables are available. It’s just that in the past I lived in the school, I didn’t dare to let them send it to the school for fear of attracting criticism, so I had to condemn everyone to eat poorly, but now that I’ve moved over here, I don’t have to be concerned about anything anymore. ”
Zhang Ma came to a sudden realization, pointing at him and cursing, “Good you ghost! Concealing everyone! You’d rather follow us and eat pickles than say anything.”
Su Chunjun bowed his head and recognized the scolding.
With his skills, status, and position, he had long been able to draw on some of his belongings by privilege. In the past, when he was in the Little Red Mansion, there were many people and eyes, so he refused to use his privileges. Now that only his own people were left in the house, he told the truth.
Zhang Ma sighed after scolding, ”Alas, it’s not your fault. Mr. Dai and Big Head are both a bit unenlightened, if they really know, they may not look down on you for a few points.”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “I know you love me in your heart.”
Zhang Ma patted his hand, “Don’t worry, in my heart, you and Yan Yan are the same. Zhang Ma doesn’t scold you, this is good, Yan Yan won’t suffer if she follows you.”
She slapped her thighs, stood up and said, “Wait a minute, I’ll see what’s missing in the house, and you can have someone send it to me!”
Su Chunjun used to live here with the Ma family, so he just thought of it as a place to settle down and live temporarily. Now that the family he had in mind was finally living here, he could seriously consider it his home.
Zhang Ma won’t be polite to him, fearing that she has the right not to use the expiration date, counting out a hundred things in one breath, and even asked for four or five kinds of tea.
Su Chunjun wrote them down one by one and promised to call the Quartermaster Department as soon as he arrived at the office.
Zhang Ma said, “By the way, there are also Swiss chocolates, which Yan Yan loves, and American sodas.”
Su Chunjun: “I remember them all, I’ll make sure they send them.”
Zhang Ma: “Your mom also loves French champagne.”
Su Chunjun: “OK, all of them, all of them. Do you have any favorites?”
Zhang Ma thought for a moment, “I don’t have any favorites either. Have someone send two more pounds of ham.”
Su Chunjun: “Good.”
After a round of instructions, Zhang Ma sent Su Chunjun out the door, and the car was already waiting outside.
Su Chunjun got into the car and asked Zhang Ma to memorize the face of Driver Chen, saying, “He’s the one who’ll be delivering the stuff in a while, so remember the people and don’t open the door if it’s not him.”
Zhang Ma stared at Driver Chen seriously and nodded, “Okay, I’ll remember the person.”
Driver Chen drove off and asked in the car, “Mr. Su, what do you want me to come back and deliver later?”
Su Chunjun hummed a little song, in a good mood, and said with a smile, “I just picked up Tai Za back yesterday, and today Tai Za found a lot of things for me to do. The family is lacking in everything, things are not complete, so I can only hurry to get things done.”
Driver Chen smiled and said, “The wives are like that, otherwise how to appear out of the gentlemen’s ability?”
Su Chunjun: “So naturally I can’t tell Mrs. to be disappointed.”
As soon as Su Chunjun arrived at the office, he first went to greet Mr. Jiang, and then called the Quartermaster Department and asked a clerk to make a long list, telling them to speed up the process, and to make sure that all the supplies were sent to his home today.
He pointed to Driver Chen and said, “There’s a little too much stuff, I’ll have Little Chen go with you to help.”
The clerk is just an office worker, was called to Su adults here is already very nervous, and was followed by the Chen driver this gun with the bogeyman, back to the road are soft legs, he did not dare to delay a little, first all the things ordered loaded on the car, so that the driver to take the things away, and then he put these things into the other list to make the accounts flat, and then only upside down to find Su Chunjun to claim credit.
Su Chunjun encouraged him, praised him as the elite of the Party and State, and sent him away before going to see Chiang.
In this short period of time, the matter of his “false public assistance” and making things difficult for the Ministry of Quartermaster General has already been reported to Jiang’s desk, and there is even a list of them.
When he knocked on the door, Mr. Chiang and Secretary Zhao were talking and laughing over the list.
Essentialist Jiang pointed to the list and said, “…… daily four fresh small yellow fish, six fresh abalone, one black chicken, one three yellow chicken, two pounds of pork tenderloin, two pounds of beef tenderloin ……”
Secretary Zhao followed down the list, “Four pounds of fresh milk, two pounds of fresh goat’s milk.”
“Fifty catties of fresh rice, twenty catties of glutinous rice, twenty catties of purple rice, twenty catties of black rice.”
“Two pounds of daily claw greens, two pounds of bok choy, and five of the rest of the fresh vegetables.”
“Swiss chocolate ……”
“French Louis Roederer champagne ……”
“Da Hong Pao, Lao Jun Mei, Liu An Gua Slices ……”
Su Chunjun stood in front of VIP Jiang and asked with a smile, “What is VIP looking at that is so interesting?”
VIP Jiang put down the list and said with a smile, “Looking at the evidence of someone taking a bribe.”
Su Chunjun laughed, “The dignitary can never spare me, for the sake of my soon to be married, at least allow me to pass the wedding night before asking for the crime.”
Jiang smiled and asked, “When will the wedding take place? I am going to ask for a cup of wedding wine.”
Su Chunjun: “We have to settle down first, and then go to the hotel to book a seat.”
Secretary Zhao asked, “Is there anything inconvenient? You’ve only just settled in, so if there are any difficulties, don’t be polite to the VIP.”
Su Chunjun thought for a moment and said, “There are no other difficulties. It’s just that I’m missing a few servants at home, and I’m worried about where to find them.”
Jiang and Zhao exchanged glances and both sighed in their hearts that Su Chunjun was really a man of the people.
Secretary Zhao asked, “How many do you need?”
Su Chunjun counted on his fingers, “At least three. One listener to take care of the gate, a cook to cook, and another to serve tea and water in the house.” He paused for a moment, and asked for instructions, “VIP, I still want a few more soldiers to guard the gate.”
Jiang was generous, “Yes, here you go, pick your own people, can’t pick more ah, two people to guard the gate, change four shifts, eight people, give you ten.”
Su Chunjun: “Many thanks to the dignitary for his understanding.”
Secretary Zhao said, “It’s easy to get down people. The people that Mayor Feng used to use here are still unemployed, and they will be out of work as soon as the VIP leaves. You are familiar with them, so wouldn’t it be more convenient to pick a few of them to work at your house? It will also save you the trouble of looking for people outside.”
Su Chunjun laughed, “Good, it’s better to use them than to use them well, I’ll go and pick some people first, and then I’ll lead them back when the VIPs leave.”
