The lights inside the supply and marketing cooperative were still dim.
Just after eight o'clock, a salesperson started shouting.
"Everyone in the back is gone! It's time, it's time to get off work!"
"Come on, come on, come on. How much effort can you make when you come back tomorrow? We haven't eaten yet! You still won't be able to buy it if I don't get up tomorrow!"
"Who is that! Stop touching it and buy it tomorrow. Don't force me to do it!"
After a period of discussion, intimidation, and driving by the salesperson, the people in the supply and marketing cooperative finally suppressed their desire to buy and walked outside in a bustling manner.
After a busy day, Father Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Usually everyone has tight money and does not have such a big desire to buy.
But this National Day is different. Now more than ten years have passed, everything has been passed down by word of mouth and experienced personally. Everyone understands its meaning very well. The founding of the People's Republic of China means stability and peace. The excitement of National Day is no worse than that of Chinese New Year. How could it not be possible?
Have a good celebration.
Celebrations are indispensable without tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar.
Yu's father is a wine seller.
After he was free, Yu's father's thoughts returned to his family, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Why hasn't that girl come over yet?
It's eight o'clock now and it's getting dark!
Isn't it because you have finished eating at someone else's house and you haven't left yet?
Thinking of his daughter's carefree temperament, Father Yu felt that this was very possible.
He was a little angry.
People are about to go to bed, but they haven’t left yet? Can’t you see that they are impatient and chasing people away?
After tidying up hastily, Father Yu quickly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After taking two steps, he immediately turned around.
Take a closer look.
To the east of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, a girl stood there with blank eyes. There was a crowd of people around her, and she was the only one standing there in a daze.
After all, she is my daughter, my little lover from a previous life.
Father Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over and took a look. Yu Haitang was still there and didn't know what he was thinking. This frightened him.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Yu Haitang came to his senses and was stunned for a moment after seeing his father, and said: "It's okay, what can I do? I just felt it was too stuffy inside. I saw you were busy before, so I waited outside. I couldn't help but
Just stand for a while."
Father Yu frowned slightly, but he was used to this explanation. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go home first. I'm hungry after a busy day. Have you found a place to eat?"
Yu Haitang pouted and said: "Dad, you don't care what time it is now. I want to eat, but do I have money? My mother gave me thirty cents to buy some small gifts. I knew you wanted to pick it up.
I only had three cents left for travel expenses, so I bought a popsicle. Now I can't even afford a bowl of porridge or a fried dough stick, not even a penny!"
Now that prices are clear, there is absolutely no way to line your own pockets unless the portions you buy are reduced.
The corner of Yu's father's mouth twitched violently. He shouldn't ask, he knew his daughter best.
It’s not that you don’t have any money at the end of the month, but you already have no money by the middle of the month!
"I told you to save some money, but you didn't listen. You thought it was great just to earn a few dollars, and you didn't know what you were buying."
Yu Haitang sat on the back seat of the bicycle angrily and said: "Dad, let's go home quickly, I'm hungry!"
"You don't want to talk about it? If you don't want to talk about it, then go home and let your mother talk to you!" Father Yu replied calmly.
Yu Haitang immediately became honest. She was such a beautiful girl, but she couldn't live like a human being at home. She was disliked here, criticized there, and the things in the school unit were not good for her mother.
Hearing no sound from behind, Yu's father also pedaled his bicycle and started walking back. After the wheel steel rotated twice, he got down to business, so he quickly asked: "How are you doing with your arrangements?"
"ah?"
Yu Haitang was distracted as soon as he calmed down, and was confused when asked by his father.
Father Yu said angrily: "Let me tell you, the task assigned to you today! Didn't you girl forget it?"
He was very suspicious in his heart. His daughter had never been very reliable in doing things and was constantly being lectured by her mother.
The reason: to get close to Yi Chuanzong, you have to suffer when asking for help, but Yu Haitang made his master look bad.
Yu Haitang looked a little panicked, and quickly began to think about the tasks arranged by his father.
After thinking for a few seconds, she finally remembered.
Ask Yi Chuanzong if he knows the leaders of the housing management department in the government units, and if their family can find a more suitable house in this situation.
She didn't even ask about this!
As soon as she started chatting with Lou Xiao'e, she envied the baby in her belly, her man, and her home environment. She listened to interesting things in the factory yard and chatted about the new gadgets in the department store. How could she have the heart to ask such questions?
Yu Haitang was very panicked, and suddenly she suddenly became wise and said: "Dad, do you know about the Women's Federation entering our steel rolling mill? Today I know what's going on!"
Father Yu responded calmly, "Oh."
When he heard his daughter's words, he knew that today's events were destined to be forgotten!
Pay attention to your tone, and he will know that this little girl must be trying to fool you!
Yu Haitang didn't notice anything and said quickly: "Actually, the culprit of this matter is Yi Chuanzong. He went to the Women's Federation before and looked for acquaintances there, and that's how he got the big one yesterday.
movement."
Father Yu's expression did not change, he just listened quietly.
"And this matter is not over yet. He originally asked for leave today, but Director Yang of our steel rolling mill sent someone out to look for him. They were a hundred members of the security department. Just to look for him, this person actually came out to look for him.
It's okay, I'll be back before get off work."
Father Yu's face became much more solemn, asking the leader to send someone to see this person, and then come back well afterwards. It is not necessarily just a matter of friendship, at least there is business, and there is also an intersection, an eighth-level fitter
How could there be such an urgent work intersection with the director of the factory?
"However, this matter has something to do with him anyway. He seemed a little upset when I was there. It was not easy for me to ask such questions about our family at the time. After all, he was not in the mood right now."
"However, he knows people from the Women's Federation, the leaders of the sub-district office, and the director of the factory. I heard he also knows people from the Ministry of Agriculture. It is normal for him to know the people who manage housing in the unit. Isn't his family like that?
A private courtyard?"
Father Yu nodded after hearing this. It is true that once this person's network of connections is extended, it will be difficult to climb up to the sky, but it will be easy to go down. It is also very simple to spread out flatly.
Leaders are also human beings, and they are indispensable for things in life. Even if a person's understanding of various walks of life is incomplete, there is always a complete understanding within a circle.
"So, you just didn't ask about our family affairs, right?"
Yu Haitang's expression instantly changed. If asked, why is she so long-winded?
Of course she couldn't say that, so she could only pretend to be impatient and explain: "Dad, how can I ask when someone is in a bad mood? If they don't answer, that means they know my intention. Even if I don't speak, it's considered rejection."
It’s happened once.”
After saying that, Yu Haitang nodded quickly, as if that was why she didn't ask, but when she thought of that man, she couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly.
She couldn't even describe her current mood. She was unwilling, unconvinced, disgusted, angry, and there was also a faint fear that made her heart tremble.
But soon, Father Yu helped her clear these messy thoughts.
"Even if it's not easy for him to ask, what about his wife? You were originally asked to ask his wife, but why do you have to ask him? How many secrets can the two of them have? It's always clear who they know, right? Yours
I think you should explain these explanations to your mother."
"Dad! You can't do this!"
With a cry of tenderness, Yu Haiting quickly complained, "It's not like you don't know how much I hate that person. Whenever I look at him, I always look down with slumped face and eyes. It's not like you don't know my temper. What do you want your daughter to do?"
Can you bear it?"
"And the two of them, I've told you, their soreness can really set one's teeth on edge. And that guy, he's always not serious. Don't look at his laziness and think he's stupid or something.
Everything is waiting for me. If I don’t think carefully about some of his words, I won’t understand what he said. It’s so weird.”
"Before I even opened my mouth, the other side knew what I was thinking. I just wanted to attend an event today, but this person even criticized me. I have never been this angry in the factory. I
Of course I can only endure the discomfort and leave."
"Dad, you are so unethical. I have made such a big sacrifice, and yet you still want to collude with my mother to deal with me!"
Father Yu listened well at first, and his daughter acted coquettishly and complained to him, which made him feel comfortable. It was the last sentence, what is collusion? What is a tacit understanding between the two of them!
"I'll let you go this time. If you dare to forget it next time, see how I deal with you!"
"I have raised you so big that I patted my butt and ran away with an unknown young man. I asked you to say a few good words to my family and change the house. But you pushed and procrastinated. It is not a matter of losing face for you!"
"I think it's better for you to go on a blind date and find someone as soon as possible!"
Yu Haitang said unconvinced: "I don't, I have to find it myself, I don't want you to introduce me. What if I find someone I like in the future? Will I divorce the man you introduced? Just look at me
Unhappy for the rest of your life?”
Father Yu sneered and said, "Some people have died of hunger, some have died of illness, and I haven't heard of anyone who has died as a couple because they couldn't survive. Why did I make you unhappy? You found happiness on your own?"
"How many men do you, a little girl, know? How can you, a little girl, tell the good and bad of people? If your parents don't help you, you will be cheated to death by looking so stupid!"
Yu Haitang said unconvinced: "I don't care, I just want to find it myself. At worst, if I observe it for a few more years, I can always figure out who it is!"
Father Yu shook his head and advised earnestly: "Silly girl, how many young years can you have? Life is not that easy. By the time you can see clearly, it will be too late!"
"No matter how many people you see, how can you have the eyes of your parents? If you get married when you are thirty, who will treat you as a treasure? It will be difficult for you to make do with it by then. You just look at it.
Yes, you have to suffer enough to see it, okay, why are you thinking about suffering?"
Yu Haiting said stubbornly: "I don't care, anyway, I don't want to be like those housewives nowadays, who are submissive to their husbands, cleaning the house all day long and getting involved in trivial matters. Why?"
Father Yu chuckled and said, "Your mother and I are just fine, aren't we?"
Yu Haitang replied directly: "That's because you let mom!"
"This is life!" After Yu's father finished speaking, he added, "Who is willing to accommodate others? There is always someone who has to accommodate. But this person, if you accommodate him once, you may feel uncomfortable, and if you accommodate him twice, you will feel even less comfortable.
Feeling comfortable, this person has not been holding it all in, there is always a time to let it out."
Father Yu turned to look at Yu Haitang and said: "Just like your temper, how many people can always give in to you? If your partner also has this temper, how will you live your life? You have to understand your shortcomings
, so that you can live a good life with others."
"Dad, I know this is difficult. But there is a way to solve this problem."
Yu Haitang asked curiously: "What method?"
Father Yu smiled and said, "Look where Dad works, the people who buy are very anxious and confused. As for those of us who sell, we are a little bit embarrassed when we face those people who are entangled, nagging, and just asking whether to buy.
Emotions can also make you impatient."
"If you can sell more items, you can get more money. If you don't sell one or two items, it won't make much difference if you don't sell them all. So we salesmen will not suppress our temper."
"We are all the same. The reason why those who buy are tolerant is because we are the leaders and control what is in the store."
"One of the two sides always has to be patient. Some things are added to make the buying side less aggressive. Even if they are driven away by us, they won't have too many emotions when they scold them. At most, they will scold them back in secret, and come back happily and normally tomorrow.
If you buy it, we will happily complete the transaction."
"It's the same when you're looking for a partner. There will be quarrels in life. I understand clearly, so I never quarrel with your mother. Your mother sees that I make money to support the family, and she will save face for me."
Yu Haitang said unconvinced: "Can't we women make money to support our families?"
Father Yu directly replied: "Of course!" The topic changed and he added, "Begonia, Dad didn't say that men must be stronger than women, or that women must be stronger than men. Dad wants you to understand how life is.
Something like that.”
"You can be a buyer or a seller. You have to figure out how to live your life. Do you think your father has never fought with your mother before? Your sister should remember some, so she seems to be well-behaved. You and I
Mom used to fight every now and then, but in the end if I hadn't seen it clearly as I got older and took a step back, how would I have lived like this?"
"Dad supports you in finding your own happiness, but you also have to work hard for your own happiness. You don't just have to work hard to be happy, take a step back and the world will be brighter."
"Otherwise, if you want to find a man who is capable, capable, excellent, and obedient to you, do you think that kind of effeminate character is the man you want? Do you want him to be so right?
You? A strong-blooded, civil and military man, mighty and domineering man is obedient to you, which is inherently conflicting. Unless that man really loves you, is old, and knows how to coax people."
"The world is such a big place, there are indeed such people. But Haitang, you have to get to know them first. The people you know may not be good enough. You may not be able to catch up with good people. If you catch up with others, they may not like you, even if they do.
You, what if he gets married? You shouldn’t be the only one who likes this kind of man, right? What if you don’t like him? Do you only care about ability and money when it comes to relationships? This is not how you live.”
"When you buy something for the first time, you will be nervous, expectant, and happy. But after you know more about it, you will find its shortcomings. After comparing many brands, you will find that you like others a little bit.
Even if you come back to buy tomorrow, you may think that the ones you saw yesterday are not good. Begonia, it is so difficult to be perfect. The mood of falling in love for the first time is different from that of falling in love for the second time. The more you choose, the more picky you are, and the better you understand.
The more dissatisfied I become.”
"Dad, I know what you think. I don't object to your pursuit, but I also have a rigid rule! You must get married before the age of twenty-five! People have to pay for their own mistakes. Even if the person you marry doesn't like it, after life
Before you are too old, you still have a choice, whether it is compromise or resistance. By then you should know what you want, and you should be able to find your own happiness.
I have someone to rely on throughout my life, not just one person."
Yu Haitang stared blankly at the shops passing by in the darkness, as if looking at blurry figures. Then the people in front of him became clearer and clearer, and a face with slightly blackened skin appeared, with a knife-like face.
He was cold, but in a blink of an eye he became lazy, and gradually became confusing.
