In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gave the small courtyard a faint orange-red color. Huang Chunlan dragged her slightly tired body back home. As soon as she entered the door, Liu Guangqi couldn't wait to greet her, her eyes full of eagerness and enthusiasm.
Looking forward to it, he hurriedly asked: "Chunlan, how are you? Has Li Weidong promised to let me go to the new energy vehicle workshop?"
Huang Chunlan pretended to be helpless and said: "Guangqi, I told Director Li about your idea, but people say that the new energy vehicle workshop has high requirements, at least a fifth-level mechanic. Your skill level is not high enough."
It’s passed, so...there’s nothing I can do about it.”
When Liu Guangqi heard this, his expectant face instantly fell down, his eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. He couldn't help but raise his voice and muttered: "Humph, I knew that guy Li Weidong must be deliberately trying to embarrass me!
Although my mechanic skills are not top-notch, they are not bad at all. Why am I not qualified? It must be an excuse he deliberately made because he didn’t want me to go."
When Huang Chunlan heard Liu Guangqi's words, she felt angry. She frowned, pointed at Liu Guangqi and said: "Liu Guangqi, don't complain here, you should reflect on yourself! Since you came back from Baoding, you
What serious things have you done? I follow the street all day long.
How can you improve your skills with those shady people above you who are just messing around and not paying attention to their work? If you work hard on weekdays and improve your skills, you might actually be able to meet the requirements now.
, there is no need to complain here about Li Weidong making things difficult for you."
Liu Guangqi was a little unconvinced by Huang Chunlan's scolding. He frowned and retorted: "I just relax and unwind occasionally, so why don't I say I don't do serious things? Besides, recruiting workers in this workshop also depends on the sophistication of the world.
Well, why can't you give me a chance?"
Huang Chunlan was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and raised her voice: "What do you mean, you are just like you, just doing nothing all day, why should people give you a chance? If you really want to get into that workshop, work hard and don't think about it all day.
Is it possible to take shortcuts and rely on human connections?"
Liu Guangqi suddenly panicked when he saw Huang Chunlan's face turned red with anger, her hands on her hips, looking angry. He knew that what he just said was indeed inappropriate and made Huang Chunlan unhappy. So,
He hurriedly came forward, took Huang Chunlan's arm with a flattering look on his face, and said softly: "Chunlan, calm down, calm down, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said that, don't take it to heart, I know I was wrong
."
Huang Chunlan snorted angrily, shook off Liu Guangqi's hand, turned around and sat on the chair, trying not to say a word. Seeing this, Liu Guangqi quickly circled around Huang Chunlan a few times, smiling again and again.
By saying nice things, I hope to calm Huang Chunlan's anger.
After a while, Huang Chunlan's expression softened slightly, and Liu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he turned around and walked to the kitchen, thinking that helping Huang Chunlan with some housework would make Huang Chunlan feel more comfortable.
Entering the kitchen, Liu Guangqi saw Liu Haizhong standing in front of the stove working, so he walked over and said, "Dad, let me help you." After that, he started to help choose the dishes.
Liu Haizhong glanced at him, and while stir-frying the vegetables in the pot, he complained: "Guang Qi, you said you are also a grown man, how come you are squeezed to death by your wife? That posture just now,
When she gets angry, you immediately admit your mistake. You don't have any masculine aura at all. How can you hang out outside from now on?"
Liu Guangqi listened, paused in his hand movements, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Dad, you don't understand, Chunlan is also doing it for my own good. I did say the wrong thing just now and made her angry. Please admit it to her."
It's okay to make a mistake. Besides, our family's harmony is more important than anything else."
Liu Haizhong snorted, continued to stir-fry, and muttered: "Humph, you know how to be harmonious and harmonious. You must have some backbone of your own. Don't always be so worthless and make others look down on you."
Liu Guangqi had actually been holding back some bitterness in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to pour it out on weekdays.
Although he is now working as a mechanic and can earn more than 40 yuan a month in salary, which can barely support his family's living expenses. However, he has contracted the habit of playing cards. As soon as he gets off work, he plays with his coworkers.
We all got together, yelled and drank at the card table, and had a great time. After all this time, every month’s salary had just been paid, and before we could even warm it up in our pockets, we lost everything on the card table.
.
Huang Chunlan had to work hard to support her family. Huang Chunlan also worked day and night in the factory, hoping to earn more money to maintain the family. But Huang Chunlan worked day and night in the factory.
As for Liu Guangqi, he was not worried at all.
Moreover, he owed two hundred yuan to his coworker Chen Dazhuang outside. At that time, he was worried about losing at cards, so he borrowed the money from someone, and promised that he would pay back the money tomorrow. But now, in his pocket,
It's cleaner than my face, and I don't have a penny on my body.
After the family finished eating, Liu Guangqi kept thinking about repaying the money and was restless. He spotted the opportunity, and when Huang Chunlan was sitting on the chair and preparing to wash her feet, he hurried over and diligently, and there was another
The one who brought the water and the towel was so attentive.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Liu Guangqi looked at Huang Chunlan carefully, and said with a smile: "Chunlan, let me tell you something. Look, I... I'm a little tight lately, I...
…I want to ask if you can give me some money?”
Huang Chunlan was enjoying the rare service from Liu Guangqi. When she heard this, her expression changed instantly. She said angrily: "Liu Guangqi, what do you need money for? You've lost all your monthly salary, what's the matter at home?"
Don’t you know the situation? Is it easy for me to support this family by myself? How dare you ask me for money?”
When Liu Guangqi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained: "Chunlan, I... I'm not in trouble. I owed my co-worker Chen Dazhuang two hundred yuan before, and I agreed that I would pay it back tomorrow.
I really have no money now. If I don’t pay it back, people will gossip about me in the factory. Where can I put my face? Just help me this time, please.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Chunlan's eyes widened, she looked at Liu Guangqi in disbelief, and said angrily: "Two hundred yuan? You actually owe so much! You can't
That's great, Liu Guangqi. I work hard every day to make money, but it's better for you to owe a lot of debts outside and ask me to wipe your ass. Where can I get the money for you?"
"Chunlan, I know I was wrong. I will never play cards again. Really. Please help me pay back the money first, otherwise I really won't be able to stay in the factory. Please,
Please.”
Huang Chunlan sat on a chair and looked coldly at Liu Guangqi who was kneeling on the ground, without a trace of pity on her face. She had long been angry about Liu Guangqi's loss in playing cards, and now she heard him
She said she wanted to borrow money to pay off her gambling debts, which made her even more angry. She snorted and said angrily
Said: "Liu Guangqi, how many times have I heard this from you? Every time I lose money, I say I won't fight again, but have I ever really done it? I work exhaustingly in the factory every day.
Is it easy to earn that little money? I am responsible for all the family expenses, so how can I lend you money to pay off your gambling debts? Stop dreaming."
When Liu Guangqi heard Huang Chunlan's words, his heart suddenly became cold, but he still refused to give up and continued to plead: "Chunlan, this time is really different. I have really reflected on it deeply. You see, I
Even if I kneel down for you, it means that I sincerely accept you
That's wrong. If you don't help me, I really don't know what to do. Chen Dazhuang is pressing me hard. If he doesn't come in tomorrow, he will definitely have to go to the factory leaders. By then, I won't be able to work.
I can't save it. Just have mercy on me."
Huang Chunlan was not moved at all. She stood up, broke away from Liu Guangqi's hand, and said with a look of boredom: "Liu Guangqi, don't pretend to be pitiful with me here, I don't have that much sympathy. I myself
I have to keep the money to live on, and I can't give it to you to pay for your gambling debts. You have to find a way to solve the trouble you caused yourself. Don't expect me to wipe your ass."
After saying that, Huang Chunlan turned around and walked back into the room, leaving Liu Guangqi kneeling on the ground alone.
…
Early the next morning, the sun shone through the windows of the factory building and sparsely shone on the floor of the machine repair shop. Liu Guangqi walked into the machine repair shop listlessly as usual, still worrying about the two hundred yuan gambling debt.
As soon as he entered the workshop, Liu Guangqi saw Chen Dazhuang and his two little brothers who usually followed him, standing menacingly in the middle of the aisle, blocking the road. Liu Guangqi felt a thump in his heart and secretly screamed.
, but now I can’t hide even if I want to.
Chen Dazhuang crossed his arms, with a half-smile expression on his face, but his eyes showed undisguised ferocity. When he saw Liu Guangqi coming, he took a careless step forward and said, "Hey, Liu Guangqi, yesterday
We agreed to pay back the money today, where is the money? Did you bring it?"
Liu Guangqi stepped forward bravely, forcing a smile on his face, but the smile was uglier than crying. He stammered: "Da Zhuang, I... I haven't made up enough, so you can't."
You know, my family is very concerned about money, so I really can’t get any money."
When Chen Dazhuang heard this, his face instantly dropped, his brows furrowed into a knot, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Liu Guangqi, don't play tricks with me here! When I borrowed the money, you were patting your chest.
I promised that I would pay back the money today. Now is a good time, but you told me that you can’t get the money? Do you think I’m being fooled?”
Liu Guangqi was frightened by Chen Dazhuang's roar and trembled slightly. He knew in his heart that Chen Dazhuang was not someone to be trifled with. If he was really offended, something might happen in the workshop. His mind suddenly turned.
, suddenly thought of Huang Chunlan’s request to Li Weidong to let her enter the new energy workshop yesterday. Although she failed, she didn’t care about so much at the moment, so she hurriedly
He hurriedly said: "Dazhuang, don't get angry first, I... although I don't have the money to pay you back now, but I have good news to tell you. I will be able to work in the new energy workshop soon, as you know,
The wages in that workshop are much higher than here. When I get my wages, I will pay you back the money immediately, and I can also pay you some more interest, so just give me some more time."
When Chen Dazhuang heard this, he was slightly startled, but the anger on his face subsided a little. He looked at Liu Guangqi doubtfully and said, "Are you telling the truth? Can you really enter the new energy workshop? That workshop is not something you can enter casually.
, don’t be fooling me.”
When Liu Guangqi saw that Chen Dazhuang's attitude had relaxed a little, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded quickly and said: "Really, Dazhuang, how dare I fool you? My wife went to talk to the workshop director Li Weidong yesterday.
As promised, I will be able to pass after the formalities are completed. Just trust me again, I will definitely not default on the bill."
The two little brothers beside Chen Dazhuang also whispered to each other. One of them whispered: "Brother Dazhuang, the wages in this new energy workshop are high. If he can really get in, he should have no problem paying back the money."
Chen Dazhuang frowned and thought for a while, then pointed at Liu Guangqi and said: "Okay, Liu Guangqi, I will trust you again. But you have to hurry up, if you can't get into the workshop by then, or you don't pay back the money after you get in
,Huh, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guangqi hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Da Zhuang, I will definitely not let you down and I will pay you back as soon as possible!"
After Chen Dazhuang turned around and left with his two little brothers, Liu Guangqi looked at their retreating figures, raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had just recovered from an extremely thrilling scene.
It was like being temporarily freed from a difficult situation. He was secretly glad, feeling that his words had temporarily stabilized Chen Dazhuang. He thought to himself that he had to quickly think of a way to fill the hole of the two hundred yuan, but he couldn't really wait for the lie.
The day it was exposed.
However, Liu Guangqi never expected that Chen Dazhuang did not believe his rhetoric at all.
Although Chen Dazhuang looked like he was a big-hearted and reckless person, he actually had his own plans in mind.
As soon as he left the machine repair shop with his two little brothers, they walked straight towards the new energy shop.
When he arrived at the new energy workshop, Chen Dazhuang asked around, and after a lot of trouble, he finally found Deputy Director Zhou, who was in charge of workshop-related affairs. Chen Dazhuang was not polite, walked forward carelessly, and asked straight to the point: "Deputy Director Zhou,
Let me ask you about someone, there is a man named Liu Guangqi, is he on the recruitment list of your new energy workshop?"
Deputy Director Zhou was busy with the work at hand. He was stunned by the sudden inquiry. He raised his head and looked at Chen Dazhuang. Seeing the eager look on his face, he put down the document in his hand and replied seriously: "Liu Guangqi
?No, I remember clearly the list of workers we recruited this time, and there is no person named Liu Guangqi in it."
When Chen Dazhuang heard this, he immediately became furious. His eyes were as big as bells, his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He stamped his feet fiercely and cursed: "You Liu Guangqi, how dare you do that?"
I
You are talking nonsense in front of me, and you are making up nonsense about getting into the new energy workshop, and you are trying to use this to fool me and drag me out of my money. You are so fucking useless! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I will lose my surname.
