111, Educated Youth 14
Su Yuanyuan first went to the winery and coal yard, but found no one. Then she went to the textile factory, and now she was questioned.
"Are you looking for Comrade Xu Xiangdong? He is here. He just came back from the car. Who are you?" The guard looked at the two of them, thinking that these two girls are quite beautiful. What is their relationship with Xu Xiangdong?
Su Yuanyuan pulled Xu Xiaona over and said with a slight smile: "Hello, comrade, my name is Su Yuanyuan, I am an educated youth from the Harvest Brigade, and I am also Xu Xiangdong's partner. This is Xu Xiangdong's sister Xu Xiaona, who is in junior high school in our county. At this moment Can you ask Xu Xiangdong to come out? Is he busy? "
"I'm not busy. He just came back from other places. He should rest for a long time. I didn't expect that you are all from Comrade Xu Xiangdong's family. He drives the car very well. Even though the young man is young, the factory director said that he drives better than the old master. It's stable, maybe I can get a full-time job." The guard said as he registered, he put the pen in his breast pocket and said, "You guys wait here, I'll call someone for you."
"Hey, that's good!"
Xu Xiaona looked at Su Yuanyuan's timid look and whispered, "Sister Yuanyuan, is it because you are from the capital and have seen the world, so you are not afraid of anything?"
Su Yuanyuan thought for a while, shook her head and said: "It's important to meet the world, and your own character is also important. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we be afraid of others? Even if we are strangers, we just need to pay attention to protecting our own safety and be polite to others. Just be polite. There’s nothing special about the capital. I’ll take you there to play if you have the chance. Don’t think that the outside world is so noble. It’s the same everywhere.”
"is that so?"
"Of course it is. You see, you have been studying in the county for so long, and you are used to it. Do you feel that everything is worse than in the countryside? There are many people who have been crowded into a small house for three generations. They eat clear soup and little water and are starved to the point of becoming sallow and thin. Although it is true that there are many better things than in the countryside. It’s a good place, but there are still people who are not as good as those in the country. Therefore, cities cannot determine whether people live well or not. People who have the ability can live well anywhere. There is no need to envy people in big cities. Just rely on your own ability if you want to go. , nothing is impossible.”
Su Yuanyuan felt that as a quasi-sister-in-law, she was extremely concerned about her sister-in-law's education. Fortunately, I was the king of children in my previous life, brainwashing people and feeding them chicken soup for the soul every day. This time I have become more familiar with it, and there is no pressure at all!
Xu Xiangdong strode out from inside. When he saw them from a distance, he kept waving. When he got closer, his face was full of smiles, "Why are you here?"
Su Yuanyuan took out a plain white handkerchief and handed it to him to wipe his sweat, "I'm sending a manuscript, and I stopped by to see how you are doing. I heard that you performed very well and might become a full-time employee?"
Xu Xiaona also asked happily: "Is the second brother real? Can he be a regular worker?"
Xu Xiangdong led them to the roadside and said while wiping his sweat: "I think it's about the same. Two days ago, a driver sprained his foot before setting off. The goods were in a hurry. I was idle at the time, and the factory director He personally inspected my driving skills and gave me the job. I went over there to unload the goods and brought back a batch of goods. The inspection just now said there was no problem at all, so the factory director praised me and said that the factory was good at it. We need people who are down-to-earth and willing to work. But it will take a month to become a regular worker. We are still temporary workers. Don’t talk about it until the matter is settled.”
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "We know, how are you treated here? Can you eat enough?"
"Yes, the current salary is twenty-six and seven yuan. It's basically a half-day job. You can't drive tired. It's much easier than at home." Xu Xiangdong glanced at the sky and said, "You guys wait for me for a while, I have a rest this afternoon. I’ll go to the dormitory to get some things and take you around.”
Xu Xiaona frowned worriedly, "Second brother, you just drove back, so you should have a good rest and leave us alone."
"It's okay. I haven't taken you shopping yet. What's the point? Just wait." After Xu Xiangdong finished speaking, he ran away. At this moment, the guard came out. When he saw Xu Xiangdong, he even joked that he ran away. Be quick.
Xu Xiangdong laughed, how could he be unhappy when he saw his family? Then, with the propaganda from the guard, everyone in the factory knew that he had a very beautiful and precious partner! It was expected that Xu Xiangdong would become a regular worker as soon as he arrived, and the hearts of the girls in the factory who were so tall and handsome were immediately broken.
Xu Xiangdong took the more than 100 yuan and various tickets he had spent on this trip, and pushed Su Yuanyuan and Xu Xiaona to the department store while pushing his bicycle. At this time, private sales were not allowed, and few of the salesmen who worked for the public had good attitudes. However, Xu Xiangdong had always been able to make money. He often bought good things in this county and brought them home to Liu Shuying. The more times he went, the salesmen got to know him. . This time they were a little surprised to see him bringing two girls.
"Hey, Comrade Xu Xiangdong, who are these two? Your sister?"
Xu Xiangdong smiled and introduced, "This is my sister, and this is my partner. We will get married in two months."
A pretty girl with an oval face showed an expression of astonishment and said in disbelief: "You, you are getting married?"
Xu Xiangdong nodded, "Yes, this time it just so happens that my partner and my sister are coming to the county to do business. I will buy them something."
Xu Xiangdong didn't even look at the girl. The girl glanced at Su Yuanyuan, who was more beautiful than a celebrity, bit her lip, lowered her head and said something was wrong, and ran away in a hurry. An older lady next to her smiled awkwardly and asked, "What do you want to buy? I just got some skirts, do you want to take a look?"
Xu Xiangdong looked at Su Yuanyuan. Su Yuanyuan took two steps forward and stood in front of the counter and smiled, "I'm worried that I don't have a good-looking skirt to wear, so thank you, eldest sister."
The salesperson took out ten newly arrived dresses. The styles were similar, but they were already very beautiful dresses in this era. Seeing Xu Xiaona's eyes light up, Su Yuanyuan smiled and let her choose. When she struggled to pick out her favorite and most popular floral pattern, Su Yuanyuan also picked a pure white one. The collar, cuffs, and waist were all red plaid, and there was also a row of red plaid round buttons in the middle of the top. Others It might be a bit plain to wear, but when she compared it with her, it showed off her temperament and suited her very well. Then she chose a set of top and pants for Liu Shuying from the more conservative clothes. It was navy blue, with lapels and a slight pinch at the waist. The style was very good.
The three pieces of clothing totaled 38.6 yuan. Xu Xiangdong paid the money readily. Then the oval-faced girl came back. Su Yuanyuan didn't want to see her look of resentment, so she simply didn't buy anything. When they left the department store, Su Yuanyuan glanced at Xu Xiangdong and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why does this little girl seem to be a betrayal of you? What's your relationship with her?"
Xu Xiaona immediately widened her eyes and pricked up her ears. Xu Xiangdong was so amused that she said, "Why are you joining in the fun, sir?" Then she explained to Su Yuanyuan, "What relationship can I have with her? I don't even know her. What’s your name? Maybe I come here to buy things, so she looks familiar to me.”
That is to say, he always comes, spends a lot of money every time, looks handsome, and the little girl is attracted to him. However, Luo Hua was deliberately ruthless. Even the original Xu Xiangdong never focused on feelings and didn't even look at the little girls around him.
Xu Xiangdong explained and took them to the supply and marketing cooperative. He was also familiar with the salesperson. He bought a can of malted milk for Xu Xiaona and asked her to take it to school to supplement nutrition. He also bought three snacks to distribute to Xu Xiaona and Su Yuan. Yuan, Liu Shuying, and Xu Xiaona saw that they had spent so much money and refused to let Xu Xiangdong buy any more.
She only remembered now, didn't Xu Xiangdong earn more than 20 yuan a month? Haven't you just started working for less than a month? Why spend so much money at once? Where did the money come from?
No matter where she came from, she couldn't be so prodigal and waste her brother's money. Her future sister-in-law was still watching, what was she thinking? Xu Xiaona also wanted to return the malted milk. Although she had drunk such a precious product, she only drank a can when she was a child. Most people in the village had never tasted it. How can she ask for this again when she is so old?
Su Yuanyuan smiled and pulled her, stuffed the malted milk into her schoolbag, and said funnyly: "How come you, a fifteen-year-old girl, are so thoughtful? Your second brother bought it for you, so you can keep it with peace of mind. , if he can’t even afford you some malted milk, then he’s still your second brother?”
Xu Xiangdong joked next to him, "Sister Yuanyuan, you are praising me for my ability. Put it away quickly. How can your brother support you?"
Xu Xiaona lowered her head and blinked, blinking away the moisture in her eyes, and smiled: "Well, I'll accept it then."
"That's right. Let's go. I will take you to a restaurant. You must not be willing to go there in the county." Xu Xiangdong took all the things and carried them himself, beckoning them to follow him to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
It happened to be a restaurant, and there were quite a lot of people. Xu Xiangdong ordered braised pork, braised lion's head, leek and egg, cabbage, fungus and spinach soup, which attracted many people's eyes. They saw that they had big and small bags and were well-dressed. Yes, even their appearance was first-class, so I thought they might come from a good family, so I didn't dare to take a closer look.
When the chef prepared a dish, someone shouted, and Xu Xiangdong ran several times to get all the food. Su Yuanyuan poured a glass of water for Xu Xiaona, and put a lot of meat and vegetables on the rice for her, and then urged her to eat quickly, "Are you hungry after walking around all morning? Come on, eat quickly. How does the food here taste? ”
Xu Xiaona lowered her head, took a few bites, and said with a smile: "It's very delicious. Second brother, Sister Yuanyuan, you guys should eat it too."
"Well, you can eat more if you like." Xu Xiangdong gave her a few more chopsticks of meat and vegetables.
Xu Xiaona was originally worried that her future sister-in-law would think too much, but now she understood that Su Yuanyuan didn't care about these things at all, and she felt completely relaxed. She was much more lively in front of the two people she liked, and kept telling them about the school Both of them listened attentively to the matter, and the meal was particularly appetizing.
After eating and drinking, Su Yuanyuan and Xu Xiaona were ready to go back. Seeing them taking so many things, Xu Xiangdong felt it was not appropriate, so he simply sent them off and talked to Liu Shuying about work by the way, so as not to worry her. However, he didn't let them go with him. They were too tired, so he let them ride their bikes back first. He walked back slowly with his bags on his shoulders. Occasionally he met one or two people on the road, and they were all very surprised to see them. These second-rate people really turned around. Is sex over?
The author has something to say: Let me tell you, in the first chapter, this story was specifically written in the 1970s in a parallel space in the novel, so there are many private settings in it, and it is not the real 1970s. According to research and There is no need to dwell on what is going on in reality, because we cannot write about reality in this era.
I have mentioned more than once in the article that the black market cannot be exposed, that the Four Olds were broken ten years ago, that all submissions except for sensitive words are forbidden a month ago, that you can buy and sell at will after a few months, etc., and it can be seen from the descriptions of various aspects. Soon the spring breeze will blow across the earth, and everything will get better. This is the world background that I specially wrote to explain. It is not something I wrote wrong because I lack common sense. I hope everyone can understand it, and it can be regarded as a more familiar fictional novel of the time. ,Thanks.
