Chapter 48: Demonstrations

Yu Dahai left first, and Zhao Hongmei couldn't figure out what made Yu Dahai unhappy, but then she thought that Gao Xiufen's college affairs were disrupted by her, and she was happy again.

"Xiufen, your corn flour is delicious. Lin Jiang is not at home these days. Can I have eaten at your house? Don't worry, I'm not eating it for nothing. I'll give you some corn flour." Zhao Hongmei's attitude was indulgent, and Gao Xiufen felt that this should be in line with Yu Dahai's attitude towards her.

Gao Xiufen refused in a dilemma, "I don't have to get rations for a bowl of batter. But I'm going to work today, and I don't know if I have time to make breakfast in the future."

When Zhao Hongmei heard her rejection, she smiled a little lightly and asked knowingly, "Work? Have you found a job?"

"Yes, Dahai asked me to go to the brick factory to see it. I heard that temporary workers are being hired there. If I really find a job, I can help Dahai share some pressure. Dahai is too tired to raise a family by himself now." Gao Xiufen sighed, "I feel sorry for you when I look at it. You don't know that he never snores when he sleeps. After I came to the city, I found that he already snores. He only did this when he was tired. When he got home in the countryside, he rushed to help me with work as soon as he got home in school. He would do this when he was tired."

At the end, Gao Xiufen showed a few shy expressions on his face, "Dahai is a good man, and it is my blessing to marry her in this life. I don't want anything. As long as I can live a good life with Dahai, it is better than anything else."

Zhao Hongmei pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a sour tone, "Dahai is a good man."

Gao Xiufen looked at her in surprise. Zhao Hongmei realized that she had said the wrong thing. She hurriedly pulled her back, "In the factory, many people exaggerated that Hai was a good man and did not abandon her when she married a rural wife. Unlike others who returned to the city, they would not even want a rural wife."

Zhao Hongmei kept talking about her rural daughter-in-law, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to stimulate Gao Xiufen.

Gao Xiufen was unmoved. She smiled and finished her last bite, put down her chopsticks before taking the conversation, "No, he took me to the factory to visit the factory, and the factory manager praised him, saying that he was a responsible man. When he was happy, he gave us the qualification to divide the house. Afterwards, Dahai praised me as his lucky star, and he was assigned the house as soon as he came."

Gao Xiufen is not afraid of lying. As long as Zhao Hongmei believes it, how can Yu Dahai explain it, Zhao Hongmei will also feel that Yu Dahai is lying to her.

Seeing that it was almost exciting, Zhao Hongmei couldn't hold back the smile on her face. Gao Xiufen was in a good mood and let her go. "Hongmei, I found that we have a good personality. As long as we are with you, I will have endless things to say. If you want to say that people are really fate. After coming to the city, I have always been worried about not having friends, and I don't have to worry about this anymore."

Zhao Hongmei replied perfunctorily, and said she was going to be late for work, so she left with her bag when she went back to the house.

Gao Xiufen was the only one left at home. She washed the dishes and cleaned the house, then locked the door and went out. As soon as she walked out of the family building, she met Aunt Shi who was basking in the sun and chatting outside. There was an old lady sitting next to her, wearing a green top with a side-cleaned trouser legs wrapped around her legs, and a pair of small shoes were underneath.

The old lady's hair was neatly combed, and she had a lump on her back. Her hair was gray. She was at least sixty-five years old, but her eyes were particularly clear.

Aunt Shi has a good personality and likes to say something. When she saw Gao Xiufen coming out, she shouted and said hello, "What are you going to do?"

Gao Xiufen called out to the aunt before talking about going to the brick factory to see the work. When Aunt Shi heard this, her brow frowned, "I have heard of recruiting workers from the brick factory. The female workers she hired to go there to load kilns, and push carts for two or three hundred kilograms. That's not a job that women can do."

Gao Xiufen smiled and said, "Now the family is supported by the sea alone. I'm fine if I stay every day. Go and try it first."

Aunt Shi frowned slightly, and she would persuade her more when she was not good. Everyone in the family building knew that Yu Dahai's wife came from the countryside and had no job. Now that she suddenly wanted to go to a brick factory. A woman who was not familiar with the city did not know her. How could she know that the brick factory recruited workers? Someone told her.

After thinking about this, Aunt Shi guessed something and sighed, "It's okay, then go and have a look. If you don't, don't trust yourself."

Gao Xiufen felt Aunt Shi’s care, and felt warm in her heart. She responded with a smile. The old lady who had been watching them speak, then asked, “Is this Yu Dahai’s wife?”

Aunt Shi remembered and explained to her with a smile, "Xiufen, this is the mother of our factory accountant, Accountant Dong. Just call her aunt."

Gao Xiufen called out to Auntie.

When she heard that it was Accountant Dong, Gao Xiufen was stunned. It was because Accountant Dong had too much trouble in her previous life, and it was hard for her to forget.

In the last life, the factory paid the money at the end of the year. Accountant Dong suddenly disappeared, and the 160,000 yuan public funds in the factory were taken away by her. Everyone was rumored that Accountant Dong ran away with the public funds. That incident had a great impact on the factory. After all, he lost so much money at once.

When Gao Xiufen heard the news about Accountant Dong again, she and Yu Dahai divorced and were going back to the countryside. She saw on the TV news that Accountant Dong was not dead, but was killed. The charge of absconding with the money she had on her body was finally erased.

At that time, when something happened to Accountant Dong, there were all rumors in private. Some people said that Accountant Dong's mother was the lady of a capitalist, and what good people did the capitalist have?

So when looking at Dong's mother again, Gao Xiufen finally understood why she felt that the old lady in front of her was special. She was different from the people nowadays. No matter how ordinary clothes she wore, she could have a different temperament, clean and neat and generous. If she matched her identity, it would make sense.

Thinking of these, it was just a blink of an eye. After saying hello, Gao Xiufen left. She walked all the way to the north of the city. The brick factory was in a remote place on the street, a bit desolate. If it weren't for the smoke from the chimney there, this place wouldn't be like a place where someone came.

Walking on the muddy dirt road, Gao Xiufen only walked around there and walked into the city. She had never thought about working here, and now she was just perfunctory.

After returning to the city, Gao Xiufen went straight to Xinhua Bookstore, where he read books for a short time. When he was hungry, he crawled into the alley behind Xinhua Bookstore. There was a ramen restaurant inside. Ramen noodles cost 70 cents a bowl, and few people could afford it. Gao Xiufen ordered a bowl for himself without hesitation.

After eating, I came out and it was already dark outside. It was past six o'clock in the evening. When Gao Xiufen walked back to the courtyard, the fragrance of the noodles on her body also dissipated. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yu Dahai and Zhao Hongmei sitting at the table for dinner.
