Turning around, Su Jingxuan's pressing questions naturally yielded no results.
At this stage, educated youths are returning to the city in large numbers. In Yangjiao Hutong alone, dozens of them can return in one day. However, the work indicator does not drop even a few points a month, which can be said to be a serious scarcity.
Moreover, what Su Meng wanted to go to was a good unit like the Children's Palace. Teach children to sing and dance, the job is easy, the salary is good, the benefits are high, and the cards are good.
For a good job like this, it's natural to grab a head start.
And Su Jingxuan has the aloofness of an intellectual, and is not good at giving gifts, treating guests, or building relationships. It's just urging, what's the use.
Therefore, the work matter has not been settled for a long time, which makes Su Meng depressed.
…
In comparison, Xiang Nan and Chunming did well in the food factory.
Xiang Nan is smart and Chunming is kind. As soon as they entered the factory, they got along well with everyone.
Everyone in the factory also liked them very much.
Xiang Nan, in particular, works neatly, diligently, and speaks pleasantly. From the section chief and director to the workshop workers, no one finds fault.
"Jianjun, it's time to eat~" Cui Weihong said crisply as soon as the bell rang at noon, holding up the lunch box.
"Here we come, master~" Xiang Nan agreed with a smile, then picked up the lunch box and went to the cafeteria with her.
Only a few days after working in the food factory, Xiang Nan had already found out the details of Cui Weihong.
She is a young widow, twenty-six years old. We have been married for five years. My husband is also an employee of Yili Food Factory. He had a production accident last year and accidentally fell into a mixer. Even his body was not fished out.
Because they had young children and Cui Weihong was still young, they originally wanted to remarry. However, her parents-in-law lured her with a job and asked her to maintain integrity for her dead husband.
At that time, state-owned enterprises implemented a succession system. A son can take over his father's class, and a younger brother can take over his elder brother's class. Originally, her husband had a younger brother who could also take over.
But the old couple asked her to take over on the condition that she remain a widow for their son.
Cui Weihong's family conditions are not good. She is the second among seven children. She has three younger brothers, and because she is poor, she has yet to find a wife, so this job is very important to her, so she can only agree to it.
But life is difficult for widows. It is especially difficult for a person like Cui Weihong, who is pretty and naturally charming.
Who wouldn't want to take advantage of a young and beautiful little widow who can't hold her own, can't sleep alone, and is unbearably lonely; who can't stand even when an outsider is around. Even if you can't get enough of it, it's still good to have some cravings.
Therefore, Cui Weihong's parents-in-law are now strictly guarding against her. Not only did she have someone keep an eye on her in the factory, he would also pick her up from get off work in person at night. It could be said that she was being watched closely from all directions.
After Xiang Nan heard about it, he was both moved and sighed.
Cui Weihong is only twenty-six years old this year. Forty years later, she will not even be considered old, so she wants to remain a widow for the rest of her life. It's really too much.
But the situation is stronger than the person, so what if she doesn't want to.
So Xiang Nan felt quite sympathetic to her. Therefore, when you work together, you should be considerate of her difficulties and do more work yourself.
Such small and considerate things made Cui Weihong become more and more fond of Xiang Nan, and she often asked him to have lunch together. Under the guise of master and disciple, no one can say anything.
However, Xiang Nan knew in his heart that Cui Weihong was definitely not innocent about her thoughts.
…
The two went to the cafeteria together to have a meal, and then sat down to eat together.
"Jianjun, this meat is too fat. I can't bear to eat it, so I'll give it all to you~" Cui Weihong said, giving all the braised pork to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled, knowing she did it on purpose.
If she really felt fat, she shouldn't eat braised pork. Even after being beaten and not eating, it was all given to him. His intention was obvious.
You know, in the 1970s, meat was a good thing. Many families cannot eat even once a year.
"Master, if you give me all the fat, what will you do if you make me a fat man?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I will not be able to marry a wife in the future, can you bear the responsibility?"
"You brat, you look like a movie star, but you're still worried that you won't be able to get a wife." Cui Weihong said with a smile, "If you really can't get a wife, I'll be responsible."
"Then how are you going to take responsibility?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
Cui Weihong was embarrassed, and then hit him on the head with chopsticks, "You brat, don't joke with the master. The master is several years older than you."
"She's only six years older. As the saying goes, a girl in her third year holds a gold brick. A girl in her sixth year only holds one more gold brick." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
When Cui Weihong heard what he said, he couldn't close his mouth with laughter.
However, both of them knew in their hearts that they could only live with lip service now and could not do anything serious.
Otherwise, if something happens, it could be fatal. By then, there will be no room for them anywhere.
…
While they were flirting, Chunming suddenly came over carrying a lunch box.
"Jianjun, I found a good way to make a fortune." He said excitedly.
"Shh, keep your voice down. You know this is the way to get rich, but you still dare to make such a noise, for fear that others won't hear." Xiang Nan said immediately.
Chunming nodded and lowered his voice, "I passed by the Temple of Heaven yesterday, and there was a construction site over there that was busy with work. The slogan was [Fight to the death for a hundred days and resolutely complete the combat mission].
I have inquired about it, and they want to deliver gifts in time for New Year's Day, but it is almost October now, and the project gap is still relatively large. Time is tight, tasks are heavy, and manpower is urgently needed. So the leader is anxious and is looking for someone everywhere. I made an agreement with him, let's go push rocks, pay 50 cents a cart, and settle the knot every ten days, do you want to do it? "
"Fuck it, why don't you do it." Xiang Nan agreed immediately after hearing this.
He is short of money.
He is now an apprentice, earning a monthly salary of seventeen and a half yuan. Although there is no shortage of food and drink when working in a food factory, there are also many places to spend money.
Just like transportation. Now he and Chunming still take the bus to work. A monthly pass costs six yuan a month and seventy-two yuan a year.
But buying a second-hand bicycle in good condition only cost sixty or seventy yuan, so both of them held back their energy and bought a bicycle. In this way, not only transportation costs are saved. I have Sunday off and can ride around for a while, which is much better than having my legs tied up.
"I really envy you. You have endless energy and can still find work after work. Unfortunately, I can't do this job." Cui Weihong glanced at Xiang Nan enviously and said, "Chunming, you are so capable. , go back and help me see if there is any job suitable for a lesbian like me?"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Han Chunming nodded.
…
After eating and taking a short rest, the two returned to the workshop.
Just as work was about to start, the director walked in with a new person.
"Li Chengtao, come here~" he shouted, calling Li Chengtao over, "This is Cai Xiaoli, you will take care of me from now on."
When Li Chengtao saw Cai Xiaoli, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiang Nan and Chunming couldn't help being stunned when they saw Cai Xiaoli, and then they both laughed.
