Lao Mao was chatting and laughing with his coworkers when he looked up and saw Xu Wanning.

"My sister-in-law is here to see me. I'm leaving first."

Lao Mao pressed his hand on his satchel and trotted all the way to Xu Wanning, with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, did you come to see me specially?"

Xu Wanning handed the ice soda she bought on the road to Lao Mao, "Take a sip first to relieve the heat. I have something to ask you for help. If nothing happens, let's go to the restaurant and have a chat."

"to make."

Xujiapu Restaurant.

Dongzi asked the chef to fry several dishes, served a large plate of braised vegetables, and poured a glass of wine each for Lao Mao and himself.

"Although we are both in Beijing and not too far apart, if you think about it carefully, we haven't seen each other for a month."

"Everyone is usually busy and there really aren't many opportunities to meet. But it's okay to know in your heart that we care about each other."

Seeing that Dongzi and Lao Mao were already chatting, Xu Wanning left the space for the two of them while she went to the kitchen.

"My family will come to our restaurant for a dinner tomorrow evening. I have written a menu in advance for two tables. Just prepare it for me according to the menu."

"No problem, I guarantee that everything will be properly arranged for the little boss."

Coming out of the kitchen, Lao Mao and Dongzi had almost finished talking, and then Xu Wanning began to talk about her own business.

"Old Mao, can you make a wheelchair?"

Lao Mao nodded: "Our manufacturing plant has taken orders for wheelchairs, and I am still the main operator. It is not difficult for me to make a wheelchair. Sister-in-law, do you need a wheelchair? We happen to have a few unopened ones in our factory. , I’ll get one for you later?”

Xu Wanning shook her head, and immediately placed a drawing in front of Lao Mao: "Look, can you make this slightly more complicated wheelchair?"

Lao Mao drank two ounces of wine and his vision became dizzy. "Am I hallucinating? How come this wheelchair has the function of driving automatically? Sister-in-law, you designed this?"

"It's not a design, I just saw it somewhere else before and thought about making it. Lao Mao, can you make it?"

Lao Mao held the piece of paper tightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Dongzi couldn't wait any longer and kicked Lao Mao hard under the table: "Sister-in-law is talking to you, why are you so stunned?"

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I was just studying the drawings, and I really didn't listen carefully to what you said. I took a quick look and found that the structure of this wheelchair does seem complicated, but as long as I find the trick, it's not impossible to make it. But. I don’t dare to vouch for it now, lest I disappoint my sister-in-law.”

"Let's just leave the drawings here for now. I'll take the time to study them later and see if I can make them."

"How long do you need?"

"This..." Lao Mao considered it carefully and gave a reasonable time: "About two months."

"No, it's too long." Xu Wanning shook her head: "I will give you half a month at most, and you try to make it for me within half a month."

A month later, when Dr. Heidi's time is free, she will arrange the surgery for her uncle Lin Jishang, so the wheelchair will not have to wait for two months.

Furthermore, in two or three days, the directors of food factories from other provinces will come to Limin Food Factory to sign a contract. After the instant noodle formula is given, there is a high probability that the instant noodle making machines will be customized from the manufacturing factory in Beijing.

And Lao Mao was one of the first employees to join the process of making machines. He will definitely be selected this time. He works overtime to make machines and has very little free time.

Therefore, Xu Wanning compressed the time to half a month.

"If you can make this wheelchair in half a month, I will give you 500 yuan."

Lao Mao hurriedly said: "Look, sister-in-law, what are you talking about! I was able to come to Beijing and make a good living in a manufacturing factory, thanks to your help, sister-in-law. I just helped you make a wheelchair." , How can I have the nerve to accept your money? Then who have I become? "

"One code equals one code. If you can help me make this wheelchair, you have already done me a great favor. Moreover, a lot of expensive materials are used in the process of making the wheelchair. Should I also ask you to subsidize these parts? "

"It actually doesn't cost much to get the parts from the manufacturer."

Xu Wanning straightened her expression and looked at Old Mao coldly: "When I arranged for you to enter the manufacturing factory, did I tell you that you must work down-to-earth and not take anything from the government. Old Mao, once you have the idea If you have this kind of thought, you may break the precept at some point! I don’t want you to become such a person and do things that go against your conscience.”

After being lectured by Xu Wanning, Lao Mao immediately lowered his head in shame: "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. Don't worry, I will definitely not take anything from the government. But as a capable man in the manufacturing plant, I can use the internal Buy some parts at a reasonable price, so you really don’t have to give me 500 yuan.”

"Let's talk about it later. Make the wheelchair first and then talk about it."

Lao Mao wanted to say something more, but was kicked by Dongzi again, so he could only shut up.

"By the way, Dongzi, our restaurant will be closed tomorrow afternoon. I want to treat my family to a reunion dinner, which will be around 05:30."

"I understand, sister-in-law, after the lunch rush is over, our restaurant will be closed for half a day."

Xu Wanning nodded slightly, "The people who come to eat are all my family members, and you have seen them all. There are not many people, and the two big tables can fully seat them. Let's give the waiters half a day off. The chefs will prepare the dishes according to the menu I gave them. After the food is ready, you can go home and rest, and then come back the day after tomorrow.”

"no problem."

"Okay, then you and Lao Mao can chat first and catch up on old times, and I'll leave first."

Xu Wanning also needs to go to the military compound to inform her family about the reunion dinner tomorrow.

As soon as she reached the gate of the military compound, Xu Wanning ran into her eldest aunt and second aunt who got off the bus together.

"Aning is here, let's go and sit at home."

"It's such a hot day, why didn't you say take the bus? Look at how sweaty you are. Don't get tan again."

"First aunt, second aunt, we happened to meet here, so I will tell you directly. Tomorrow afternoon after you get off work, go directly to Xujiapu Restaurant, and we will have a reunion dinner together as a family."

"You two will see my parents later, tell them too. After get off work tomorrow, we will all go to the restaurant, no one is missing."

Hearing this, the eldest aunt and the second aunt looked at each other silently, and then heard the eldest aunt ask in a low voice: "Aning, has something happened to you?"

Otherwise, if everything is fine, why would you invite a whole family to dinner?
