After the tea was brewed, Mengyi took the initiative to hold the teapot and help the two elders refill the tea.
I served myself and Zhang Yu more tea.
Looking at his daughter, taking the initiative to get closer, even the best tea is boring, and her mind is not on the tea at all.
"By the way, Uncle Ma, which factory do you and Xiaoyu work in?"
Looking at her father's eyes, Mengyi realized that her body movements were a bit too much, so she had to find a topic to relieve herself.
Master Ma did not speak, but pointed at Zhang Yu and asked him to answer.
"Oh, my master and I work in a steel rolling mill. We are responsible for the welding part."
"Then your factory is very big, isn't it? I have never been in a factory since I was a child!"
"Can you tell me what a rolling mill looks like?"
Zhang Yu thinks this question is quite difficult to answer. What is a factory like? Isn’t that what a factory is like?
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that the rolling mill is related to steel machinery.
I scratched my head, why are you so confused? Just get over it first.
"It's useless to just listen to our factory. No matter how much I talk about it, it's just a mirror image. Seeing is believing. In this way, when you have time after the New Year, I will take you to visit our factory." "When the time comes, I will give you a good introduction, okay?"
What he said, both inside and outside, is clearly to deceive people. Why do you have to wait until after the New Year?
Although I said it a little tactfully, that's what I meant. I just thought, since we have something to talk about, let's take this opportunity to get acquainted and make an appointment to hang out together.
"No, why do we have to celebrate the New Year? We can go tomorrow."
Principal Yuan heard that his daughter was a little unhappy and spoke a little urgently.
"Mengyi, what are you talking about? The factory is waiting for the holiday now. If Xiaoyu takes you there at this time, it will be a violation of discipline and will be punished. Do you know that?"
Hey, hey, these words are too serious.
"No, no, no, it's not that serious. Principal Yuan, you are speaking harshly. Mengyi didn't mean it that way."
"It's my fault that I was panting heavily and didn't finish my sentence."
Zhang Yu quickly took the responsibility on himself. It was indeed Zhang Yu who did not explain this clearly.
What Mengyi means is that Zhang Yu has a clear mind. Girls have a good impression of him.
But I really don’t have time. There are still no telephone calls in rural areas, so I still write letters or find someone to talk to.
We both agreed with our parents that we would go home at night. If we didn’t go back, our parents would still have to worry about it and not be able to sleep.
"Mengyi is like this. My family comes from a rural area. I have something to do today, so I just came to the city. I have to rush back later."
"I haven't been home to celebrate the New Year in several years, so I just took advantage of the early holiday to spend the New Year with my family."
"Tomorrow happens to be the New Year again. There is indeed a conflict in time. Why do you wait until after the New Year? I will go back to the city by then. If you want to play with me then, you can do it at any time, even if we are together every day.
”
These last few words made Mengyi blush, bah, you gangster, what does it mean to be together every day? Who wants to be with you every day?
"No more, no more, I'll go back to the house and see my brothers and sisters."
Mengyi covered her face and ran back to the room.
Zhang Yu watched Mengyi go back to the room, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a murderous aura stabbing him in the back.
Glancing in the direction of murderous intent, I found that Principal Yuan's entire face was darkened.
Lao Yuan's heart now feels angry, sour, and bitter... with all kinds of mixed feelings, he teases his daughter in front of me.
If it weren't for the self-cultivation he has cultivated over the years, Lao Yuan would have kicked Zhang Yu out of the house by now.
Looking at the old man's face, Master Ma also felt that the heat had come and needed to be treated well, so he stopped.
"Well, Lao Yuan, you already know my request, so Zhang Yu and I won't delay it anymore."
"When Director Wang comes back, you have to tell me to help and hurry up."
"We won't stay any longer and say goodbye."
Master Ma stood up and bowed his hands to Old Yuan, then walked out the door. Zhang Yu quickly bent down, bowed to Principal Yuan, and apologized for what he said just now.
Turning around and immediately following Master Ma, Principal Yuan suppressed the emotions in his heart, got up and went to the gate, and helped open the courtyard door. Mengyi, who had returned to the house, also trotted out, ready to see someone off.
Zhang Yu pushed the car outside the door, Master Ma exchanged a few words with Principal Yuan, and Zhang Yu waved to Mengyi.
I got on the car and rushed home with Master Ma. Along the way, Master Ma’s laughter didn’t stop.
Pedestrians on the road looked at Zhang Yu with pitiful eyes. How could such a handsome young man have a stupid father?
Master Ma's laughter made Zhang Yu feel numb all over and he could hardly hold the handlebars.
"Master, why don't we laugh so hard? What's so exciting about it that can make you so happy?"
"What I'm laughing at is fate. I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect that fate is just around the corner."
"I'm telling you, kid, I've fallen in love with Lao Yuan's girl. You have to work harder to marry her home."
"That girl, regardless of her body, tutoring, or knowledge, she is all top-notch."
Master Ma really fell in love with this girl Mengyi. Although she was born in such a good family, she doesn't have a trace of arrogance in her body, and she treats others in a decent manner. At first glance, she looks like a lady.
"Master, it's too early to say this. How can that family value my background?"
"Those good feelings just now will fade away with time. During this more than ten days of blank period, I can't stand this good feeling."
It’s hard to explain this kind of emotional thing. Zhang Yu’s two lifetimes combined can be said to have been single since birth, and SoLo has been there for forty years.
Zhang Yu's concept of love can be compared like a stone monkey popping out of a crack in a stone, solid.
"You kid, why are you talking so sadly? Favorability is something that is accumulated bit by bit."
"Why, you still want to sleep on the same bed when we just met? How can such a good thing happen?"
"Since we have a good start, let's keep going. No matter how much time we spend, it won't be a negative number. We are still starting from the beginning, so what are we afraid of?"
It makes sense. It seems that Master Ma is also an emotional expert.
"Besides, your family of origin cannot determine your future. Your current achievements are those of children in the city. Apart from those children of high-ranking officials and children of rich families, there are few who can compare with you."
"As far as your promotion level is concerned, before the age of twenty-five, there was no problem at all for Level 6 workers, and for young Level 6 workers and hard-working engineers, there was no problem at all."
"When the time comes, I'll help you get a place for further study and go to university to be gold-plated. From now on, the road will be smooth."
"There are indeed some people who like to engage in this kind of polarization and think that city people should be superior to others. That's bullshit."
"Of these people, how many are authentic Peiping people, how many are out-and-out Sijiucheng people, most of them fled during the war."
"What's the use of taking advantage of the founding of the People's Republic of China to get a city registered permanent residence? Many people will go hungry anyway."
"There is no poor household in any alley, so what's the use of a city registered permanent residence? If you are hungry and despise the rural people, you can just drink the northwest wind to survive."
Master Ma's ancestors are all from Sijiucheng, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, and there is a family tree in his family.
What Master Ma despises the most is the group of people who fled from famine. One by one, they feel that they have settled in the capital, their expenses are scattered, and they have a city household registration. They start to look down on this and that. They especially like to belittle their surroundings.
