Su Aimin told her: "Hide in the room and be careful."
"I know." Su Qingyun nodded.
After her parents left her room, Su Qingyun played with the small and exquisite radio in her hand. This radio was a transistor radio with an all-germanium tube design. It was very small in size, the whole machine was very compact, and the craftsmanship was very good. In this era, it was almost a luxury item. .
In the entire Luoshui Village, not more than one person has a radio at home. The programs that people often listen to now include "Small Speaker", "Children's Radio", "Youth Friends" and so on.
She pulled out the antenna above, turned on the switch, and turned the button. Her voice was turned down, and soft music flowed out.
Carpenter sang "yesterday once more". Su Qingyun knew this song. This song was composed the year before last, and it became a classic song that became popular around the world decades later.
She listened thoughtfully to the sweet music.
Su Qingyun recalled the development history of radio, from tubes to transistors to integrated circuits. Now it is still at the transistor stage. The development of integrated circuits still has a long way to go.
What if she gave it a try... Su Qingyun fell into deep thought, but she also knew that her current situation did not meet the conditions for scientific research. She could only suppress her thoughts for the time being and talk about it later.
After listening to it for a while, she turned off the radio. After all, there was no soundproofing in the house. If someone was discovered, using the radio while riding the bicycle, it would be strange if the family wouldn't be suspicious.
She had just turned off the radio, and Zhang Xinlan, who was passing by her door, tilted her head strangely. Did she hear something just now? She put her ear to it and listened carefully for a while, but found nothing. Did she hear wrongly? Zhang Xinlan scratched her head and left in confusion.
It was more than October, and the weather gradually turned cooler. Su Congjun had a rare two-day holiday. When he came back from the county, Su Aiguo and Li Xiulian were pleasantly surprised.
Now he is also a salary earner, and he generously bought large and small bags of things for his family, including a bag of fruit candies, a can of malted milk, and about ten kilograms of warm cotton, waiting to make cotton-padded clothes when the weather gets cold in winter.
"We are really promising in the army." Wu Guixiang smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.
"Brother is so awesome! I've only been working for a month and bought so many things for my family." Su Qingyun praised without hesitation.
Zhang Xinlan looked at it with hot eyes, "From the army, how much salary did you get? Are you so generous and buy so many things?"
Su Congjun also knew his second aunt's temperament, so he simply said: "I am just an apprentice now, with a monthly salary of only more than ten yuan. I only bought the fruit candies and malted milk myself, and the cotton was given by my master. .”
"Congjun, you have to remember that your master is so kind to you." Li Xiulian said quickly. There was not a day when she was not worried about Congjun when she was working in the factory. Now that she knew that he had a master who was so kind to him, she felt natural It's very gratifying.
Zhang Xinlan rolled her eyes, "Then what are your plans for this salary?" It's more than ten yuan, which is quite a lot.
Su Congjun looked at him and said, "Nai, my salary is seventeen yuan now. I have room and board in the factory, so I don't need much money. I plan to keep two or three yuan for myself, give five yuan to my parents, and leave the rest Everything is left to you, what do you think?"
Su Aiguo and Li Xiulian didn't say anything about his plan, and they didn't have any objections in their hearts. Not to mention that they didn't get this job by joining the army themselves, and there was no separation of families now. They all agreed to pay for food and drinks at home. The money earned should also be given to the family. They were a little unhappy when Congjun said he would give them five yuan.
Wu Guixiang looked at her eldest grandson with joy. The eldest grandson was very sensible. She nodded and said: "Okay, you give it to me, and I will keep it for you. You are about to get a wife, so this money will be your future." It’s the wedding money, if it’s not enough by then, the family will add more.”
"Thank you for the milk." Su Congjun said obediently without any objection.
When Zhang Xinlan saw that everything had been arranged, she immediately stopped.
But when it came to the matter of Su Congjun marrying a wife, Zhang Xinlan pouted. The He family caused trouble last time. Although it was the Su family who took charge of the matter, because of the He family's unruly behavior, the matchmakers now dare not give it to him easily. When introducing a marriage, I am afraid of being hated by the He family and causing a scandal.
Su Aiguo and Li Xiulian also thought of this and looked a little sad.
Su Congjun looked at the stunned family and asked curiously: "What's wrong, everyone?"
"It's not your previous partner who caused the trouble! Our Su family is also in trouble." Zhang Xinlan spoke quickly.
"Second daughter-in-law! If you open your mouth and don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Wu Guixiang's sharp eyes immediately glanced over, and Zhang Xinlan shrank her neck, not daring to speak any more.
Su Qingyun secretly held her forehead, her second aunt really didn't stop all day long.
Seeing that there was something hidden inside, Su Congjun immediately looked at his mother, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
"No, it's nothing." Li Xiulian's face looked a little unnatural, and she couldn't help but complain a little more about this second sibling. Why did she not mention this matter?
Su Congjun pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "Mom, I'm already working. Is there anything going on in this family that I shouldn't know about?"
"Tell me, after joining the army for so long, he can figure it out and distinguish right from wrong." Su Dalin spoke.
Li Xiulian had no choice but to tell the story with a sullen face. Su Congjun didn't speak for a long time after listening.
"Congjun, you don't really think about that He Qinqin, do you?" Seeing his silence, Li Xiulian became nervous. What if Congjun still likes He Qinqin and complains that they rejected the He family?
"No, mother." Su Congjun came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I just thought that the security guard of our factory said that someone claiming to be my aunt came to the factory to find me. I am still wondering who it is? It seems that It should be He Qinqin’s mother.”
"What? She even went to the factory to look for you!" Wu Guixiang's eyes widened and she was furious! Even if they cause trouble in their village, they still dare to go to the factory to find soldiers? Then what kind of heart does He have?
She gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that last time, I scolded her too lightly, so I should give her a good beating."
Even a good-tempered person like Li Xiulian was so angry that she gasped and bluntly said that the He family was not a good person.
Su Qingyun frowned. In this era, the relationship between men and women is very strict. If He spreads any false rumors to the factory, saying that her eldest brother abandoned He Qinqin, how should the eldest brother behave in the factory? What's more, the eldest brother is still an apprentice.
Even if she could explain it clearly, it would still have an impact on her eldest brother. Su Qingyun was frightened for a moment. She thought that in a few years, there would even be crimes like hooliganism.
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said to Su Congjun: "Brother, I think you should talk about it in the factory. I'm afraid that Aunt He will go to the factory to find you again. It will be bad if she says something that makes people misunderstand."
"Yes, yes." Wu Guixiang instantly understood what she meant, "We, Bao'er, are still smart and think far ahead. We want to join the army. You have to talk to the security guards in the factory or something to avoid misunderstanding."
Su Congjun was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, "I know, baby."
"Thank you, Yunyun."
Li Xiulian said worriedly: "This is still a problem that Congjun has no partner now. If Congjun is engaged, who will say anything?" By then, no matter how much trouble she makes, it won't help.
This was indeed the case, and the Su family also fell silent.
Seeing everyone like this, Su Congjun suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment, his voice was a little soft and a little shy, "Well... dad, mom, grandma, I haven't had time to tell you, I... I have a partner. .”
"What?!" The whole family was shocked and said in unison.
Su Congjun was even more embarrassed. His dark complexion could be seen blushing.
"You kid, you want to kill us, tell me quickly!" Li Xiulian was in a hurry. She was just a child, so it would be strange if she wasn't in a hurry!
Su Congjun looked at the whole family and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly, "That's me... my master's daughter."
Li Xiulian couldn't believe it, "Your master's daughter? How old is she? What does she do? This, this, this... when did this happen?"
Su Qingyun's eyes widened. The eldest brother had only been in the city for a month, and he already had eyes with his master's daughter? ox! She gave a mental thumbs up.
"As for what happened a few days ago, her name is Wen Sisi. She also works in our factory as a recordkeeper. She is one year younger than me." The whole family was paying attention to his affairs. Su Congjun was so embarrassed that he still said Understand the situation of his target.
When he got engaged to He Qinqin, he thought he liked her, but until he met Sisi, he didn't know what it was like to really like someone. If Sisi was forced to marry someone else, he would try his best to convince her. Sisi's family.
The Su family looked at each other and said nothing. A city girl has a formal job, and her father is also an old factory worker. Her family situation is so good, so she will join the army...
It's not that they look down on their own children, it's that this girl's condition is so good that they can't believe it.
"Then...then does your master know?" Li Xiulian finally said something after a long while.
Su Congjun nodded, "I know."
"Then your master didn't say anything?" Zhang Xinlan didn't believe it. If she knew, could she still let Congjun be with his girl?
"Master told me to be kind to Sisi." Su Congjun touched his nose and said.
Is it good for girls? Isn't that just an agreement in disguise? Wu Guixiang looked at the ten kilograms of cotton in a daze. No wonder, she said, how can a master treat his apprentice so well? Daqing is not an apprentice, but a prospective son-in-law?
Their family's joining the army is really a fool's blessing!
Su Aimin slapped Su Congjun on the shoulder and praised: "Good boy, now you have a good harvest in career and love!"
"Uncle, I have to thank you and Yunyun for this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this job opportunity, nor would I go to the city, let alone meet Sisi." Su Congjun thanked him seriously.
"This is all earned through your own efforts."
If Su Congjun went to the city and did not work seriously, he would not be appreciated by his master, and naturally he would not win the favor of other girls.
