Winter passes and spring comes again.
Qin Huairu didn't know what Bangge was busy with recently. In short, he had less and less time at home. He just went to find a job. He didn't say anything unnecessary and his attitude became worse and worse.
Silly Zhu was very unhappy about this and said that if you talk to your mother like this again, he would chop you with a knife.
Banggeng said, "You can chop me up and see", which made him stand in the corner until he couldn't move. Moreover, Qin Huairu didn't accept his kindness at all and blamed him for being nosy.
Silly Zhu's good intentions were not rewarded, so he was very annoyed and went away to sulk.
Qin Huairu ignored him at all. She should be cooking, washing dishes, and going to work.
Huaihua figured out her mother's thoughts and asked her silly uncle to explain that her brother was still angry with her mother. You can't add fuel to the fire, otherwise, with her brother's temper, he would If not, it will cause more trouble.
In addition, he has been unemployed at home for almost a year. Although he usually takes some wedding banquet jobs to earn extra money, it is very unstable and he does not have the security of working in a steel rolling mill.
Silly Zhu's answer was that he had to keep an eye on the old man. Every time he went out to cook for someone, he would be gone when he came back. Every time he found him, he was drunk. He once went to the steel rolling mill under the influence of alcohol. He made a fuss and was kicked out by the security guards. The second time he went to make a fuss, Wu Lei even spat on the old man's face.
why?
Because after the first quarrel, the people in the steel rolling mill knew that he was a sanctimonious person. They just withheld part of his salary and used it for whatever purpose. He also beat his wife, causing the aunt to suddenly die of a heart attack. After all, Isn't it unreasonable to blame Lin Yue, the chief of the production department, for telling the truth?
And not many people like a drunkard.
This was because Yi Zhonghai was a senior eighth-level employee in the factory, so he was given some mercy. If he had been an idle member of society and made unreasonable troubles in the factory, he would have been beaten with a stick long ago.
With Yi Zhonghai in this state, Shazhu can rest assured to go out and find a job.
Sophora japonica was speechless.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye. In the past two years, Lin Yue came over to clean three houses in spring and autumn, without interacting with people much, and just turned around and left.
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong also understood, because from Ran Qiuye's point of view, they did not want him to have anything to do with the people in the courtyard.
Silly Zhu's life has become even more difficult because Xiaodang's school-run factory has been dissolved and his family has lost an income. As for him, losing his job as the canteen director also means losing his customer base. People in the factory organize wedding banquets and so on. She rarely visits him anymore. Qin Huairu complains every day and complains about the difficult life. Jia Zhang no longer treats him well. After all, he has owed her pension for several months.
In the winter of 1978, Lin Yue was promoted to deputy director of the steel rolling mill.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the Lunar New Year. On this day, firecrackers are thundering and the north wind is roaring.
Bang Gang, Fang Dameng and others went to Sanyuan Bridge to have some business. When they came back, they passed by Tuanjie Lake Park. Seeing that it was still early, they turned around and walked inside.
It's silly to go to the park in the winter, but he would rather stay out in the cold than go home, because in the past six months, Qin Huairu asked him "Where is the job you are looking for?"
What job is he looking for? I hang around with a few buddies every day, and when I run out of money, I go have a fight. After that, I feel so comfortable eating and drinking. As for the things his mother found for him, such as street cleaners, railway patrolmen, and well drillers... they either had no future, or were miserable and tired and had to go to other places. How could they compare to his current life? Those stubborn people... Being rich and good at playing, living with them would not be a comfortable life.
He actually thought that in the future, as long as he made those stubborn masters happy, when they took control of the real power and resources, it would be easy to find him a decent job, right? Is there such a shortcut, like Si Zhu, who has been working in the factory kitchen for twenty years, smoky all day long, and looks like a fifty-year-old at forty?
As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone crying behind a row of holly trees on the left front. I heard the voice was a woman, so I walked over quickly and looked over there. Sure enough, there was a girl in red clothes hugging her. The head cries.
Woohoo~
Woohoo~
It sounds quite sad.
"Are you okay, miss?"
Banggeng asked kindly, and then looked at the frozen lake in front of him. He felt that there was no chance of committing suicide under these conditions, and he couldn't help but relax a lot.
The girl didn't speak and was still crying. He pushed aside the holly tree and walked over, and found that the figure looked familiar from the side.
"Girl, girl?"
He touched the girl's shoulder, then woke her up and looked back subconsciously.
"Is it you? Miss You?"
Banggeng's expression changed. He never expected to meet that stunning woman here. The first time he quarreled with someone, Fang Dameng told him that she was the girlfriend of the stubborn master. He didn't dare to have the women of these stubborn masters in the capital. I couldn't help but bury my emotions in my heart. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen her for three months and when I met her again, she was crying by the Tuanjie Lake. This was such an unlucky New Year.
"It is you……"
You Fengxia wiped her tears.
"You...remember me?" Bangge was very happy.
You Fengxia nodded: "Your surname is Jia, and your name is Jia Gen. Yang Tianfang said that you are good at beating and carrying. You never make a sound and cry out in pain when you are beaten."
Yang Tianfang is You Fengxia's boyfriend. Everyone knows that he is rich and well-connected, but no one can tell which compound he belongs to. In short, it is very mysterious. It seems that no gossip can escape his ears. .
When Bangge was sorting out the character information, You Fengxia cried again.
He hurriedly coaxed her: "Miss You, why are you crying again? It's such a cold day and it's easy to catch a cold if you stay outside for a long time."
You Fengxia turned her head again and looked at him with pear blossoms and rain: "I broke up with... Yang Tianfang."
"ah?"
Banggeng was shocked, thinking that no wonder You Fengxia was crying alone here, she was so sad.
But to be honest, he was quite happy.
"Can you tell me the reason for the breakup?"
"You want to hear it?"
"Want to hear it."
You Fengxia pursed her lips and said something to Banggian.
…
At about the same time, Lin Yue knocked on the door of a bungalow on Andre North Street.
After a few breaths, the door opened, and a woman's face appeared on the opposite side.
"You...why are you here?"
It could be seen that the woman in the room was panicked and did not dare to look at him.
Lin Yue didn't say much, picked up the rice, meat and eggs lying on the ground, and a new child's clothes and walked into the room.
The little girl sitting on the bed playing with a rattle looked at him curiously.
"Mom, this uncle looks so familiar..." Her eyes blinked for a while, then suddenly brightened: "Miaomiao knows, he is the person in the photo that dad tore off."
"Miaomiao is so good, come and see what Uncle Lin bought you? New clothes for the New Year, do you like them?"
"like."
The little girl agreed in a sweet voice, took the new clothes he handed over, and carefully placed them on the bed, as if she was afraid of getting them dirty.
Lin Yue turned his head, looked at He Yuyu and said, "How long do you want to keep this secret from me?"
She forced herself to smile and didn't answer.
"Why divorce?"
"He's always on business trips and can't stay home for two weeks a month. I can't stand this."
"Is that true?"
He Yuyu felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly said: "What else could it be like?"
Lin Yue said: "You can obviously go back to live in a courtyard, but you want to live in someone else's old house. Tell me, who are you hiding from?"
He Yuyu said: "I don't want to see those people in the courtyard."
Did she file for divorce because her husband kept traveling on business? This was just an excuse she used to excuse others. In fact, the relationship between the two of them had broken down as early as three years ago...
No, it wasn't three years ago. In fact, as early as ten years ago, when she was not married, some things were different. It was just that the people and relationships at that time... In short, it is difficult to describe, and there was no room to look back on many things.
Did she not go back to live because she didn't want to see those people in the courtyard? She had this consideration, but it was only one of the reasons. She was a very ambitious person. If there was no one person she wanted to know about the divorce, it must be the person in front of her. She didn't want him to think too much, and then feel pressured and feel guilty - she believed that the separation between adults was consensual, and there was no need for him to feel guilty about what happened to her.
Lin Yue didn't want to force her to tell the real reason, so what would happen if she did?
"My room, your old room, and the deaf old lady's room are all taken care of by me now. You..."
"I won't go back."
"Can you stop being so stubborn?"
"cannot."
In this case, she can't be forced to move back. Lin Yue sighed heavily, took something out of his pocket and handed it over.
