Cheng Hui's father, Cheng Jianming, was indeed engaged in design, but not mechanical design, but architectural design, working in an architectural design institute.
He is in his early forties and has worked here for more than twenty years, gradually climbing to the position of senior architect.
When I became the leader of a design team, seven or eight people shared an office.
His desk is the biggest.
At eight or nine in the morning, people in the communication room began to distribute letters one by one.
"Engineer Cheng, your daughter gave you a letter!" The guard put down the letter and left.
Several colleagues in the room were extremely surprised.
Isn’t Engineer Cheng’s daughter at home? Do you still need to write letters?
The new apprentice sitting next to Cheng Jianming was able to see the address on the envelope, Hongqi Commune, A County, Heilongjiang Province.
He immediately exclaimed: "Master, your daughter went to the countryside? The eldest daughter or the younger daughter? When did it happen?"
The others immediately gave him a wink, saying that he really didn't want to mention something. Cheng Gong didn't like people talking about his family, especially his children!
The young man in his 20s, who had just graduated from the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, didn't know what was going on, but he knew how to look, and immediately didn't dare to ask.
Cheng Jianming ignored the others. He just looked at the letter in his hand in surprise.
His eldest daughter has been in the countryside for almost a year, and she finally wrote to him.
Are you coming back? It's not impossible...
He wanted to watch it now, but he held back, it was work time!
He immersed himself in his work.
...
At the No. 3 Garment Factory in Beijing, the guard received the letter from the postman at 8 o'clock in the morning.
They sorted them one by one and sent them to one office after another.
After sharing it, Cheng Hui got it.
People who touch envelopes every day feel something is wrong as soon as they get it, it is too frivolous.
He looked at the sun and saw that it was indeed empty.
"Hahaha, this person is so careless. He wrote a letter all the way, but left the letter behind and just mailed the envelope!" A guard laughed.
"Who is it? There is such a thing? It's so funny!"
Several people looked over.
"Written to Pan Li? There are several Pan Lis in our factory. My aunt's name is Pan Li."
"No, there is writing on the back." said the man who looked at the letter toward the sun.
He turned the envelope over.
Everyone saw the beautiful small regular script, which clearly wrote:
"Aunt Pan, I am in financial difficulty now..."
"You promised me that as long as I gave up my job to my sister and went to the countryside for her, you would give me 10 yuan a month. But I have been going to the countryside for nine months and I haven't seen a penny. Now I can't even I don’t even have money to buy letter paper!”
"The winter in the Northeast is too cold, with temperatures reaching minus 40 degrees. I'm still wearing autumn clothes. You said that my luggage was too heavy. You mailed my clothes and bedding right away, but I didn't receive them either!
"Please post as soon as possible, please help me! January 3, 1973."
Everyone...
"Who?! Your aunt?" Everyone looked at the person who spoke before.
His expression was gossipy and contemptuous.
Look at what Pan Li has done. At first glance, she is fooling a little girl, defrauding people of their jobs, not giving them money, and even not even mailing their luggage. Her sincerity makes people freeze to death!
Black-hearted stepmother!
"No, no, no! My aunt gave birth to three sons, but no daughter!" This person denied it with all his strength, hating Pan Li who had the same name!
"Who is Pan Li?"
Most of the workers in their garment factory are female. There are quite a few named Pan, and even more named Li.
As Cheng Hui expected, the guard took the letter and went from office to office asking questions~
By the way, I would "show off" this letter from office to office to make Pan Li famous.
The guard has a simple heart and cannot let the black-hearted stepmother go!
It wasn't until noon that the letter was circulated throughout the factory before it finally reached the rightful owner.
The guard took the letter and looked at "Pan Li" with a stunned expression.
He knew this "Pan Li", she was the vice chairman of their factory union!
He usually has a good reputation, is particularly enthusiastic towards employees, and actively handles all kinds of big and small issues.
Everyone affectionately calls her "Sister Pan" and "Aunt Pan".
As time passed, everyone seemed to have forgotten her real name.
Pan Li held the letter with a dark face and trembling hands. She had to desperately explain to everyone: "I really sent her money! I also sent her luggage!"
"She didn't receive it, it must have been lost in the post office!"
A colleague helped her smooth things over: "Yes, the current post office is really bad. I mailed something to my aunt last month, but she wrote to me saying she didn't receive it!"
"Yes, my relatives also lost things in the mail."
“Our goods have also been lost in the mail!”
Pan Li's face looked better.
But the seeds of doubt were finally planted.
Things can be lost in the mail, but what about work?
Her stepdaughter found a job and gave it to her biological daughter? Going to the countryside for your sister?
How precious is work now? That is one's destiny!
With a job, this person can stay in the capital and live a good life with a salary every month.
If you don’t have a job and go to the countryside in the Northeast, you’ll have to face the loess and turn your back to the sky, farming every day, and it’ll be freezing to death!
Her stepdaughter was very enlightened, so she took the initiative to give it to her younger sister?
The stepdaughter who is so enlightened and such a good person has been in the countryside for nine months. Why doesn't she write a letter to express her concern and greetings?
She didn't know until someone was freezing to death and had no money to buy letter paper and asked her?
If I hadn't given it up voluntarily...
The more I think about it, the more flaws there are!
Everyone gradually stopped talking.
Pan Li's face turned ugly again, she stood up and said hurriedly: "I'll buy her something more and mail it to her!"
One person cannot please everyone, and there are people in the same office who dislike Pan Li.
Suddenly he shouted loudly: "You have to buy some good things, tsk tsk tsk, why don't I have such a good stepdaughter who is willing to go to the countryside for my daughter?"
"If I had one, I would mail her good things every day! I specified that no one should be hungry or cold, so I wrote to ask!"
Pan Li pretended not to hear and hurried out of the office.
As soon as she left, the woman who spoke before said to everyone: "I just said she was just pretending before! You still don't believe it!"
...
Cheng Jianming didn't open the envelope carefully until he got off work at noon.
This is the first time his daughter has written to him. I don’t know how she is doing there and whether she misses him...
What did he see?
“Dad, I had just been in the countryside for two months when I almost drowned because I was saving Su Xiao. I was saved by a passing soldier, and I married him.
"I am now seven months pregnant and everything is fine."
No more, no more.
Cheng Jianming jumped up from the chair, and the chair was knocked down and hit the ground hard.
Everyone was startled and asked immediately: "What's wrong, master?"
Cheng Jianming's face turned dark and ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he paused for two seconds and rushed out of the office like the wind.
A group of stunned people were left behind.
They have never seen workers look so ugly and express their emotions so clearly!
Didn't something happen to his daughter?
Not daring to ask directly, everyone used their connections to go out and inquire.
If you don’t dare to ask me, just ask his family.
...
Cheng Jianming went home and started packing his luggage when he entered the house.
Pan Li also went home and was packing the luggage that originally belonged to Cheng Hui in her daughter's bedroom!
When she heard the noise, she walked out, straightened her face and asked gently: "You are going on a business trip? Where? How many days?"
Good business trip! Go now! Come back after the storm has passed!
Cheng Jianming said with an ugly face: "Cheng Hui is actually married! She is now 7 months pregnant! Let me go over and take a look!"
"What?!" Pan Li covered her mouth and exclaimed, afraid that Cheng Jianming would see her unable to control her grin!
