After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are still many places that have not been liberated. As a soldier, your focus is always on the battlefield. Lin Baichuan is the same. Although he has not gone to the front line, he is always paying attention to the news on the front line and waiting for orders at any time.
The military conference room was full of people, analyzing the battle situation. If their troops were called to fight this battle, how they should fight it.
Just as I was talking enthusiastically, the guard came in and said that Fan Yunqing was here.
Lin Baichuan spoke to Zhong Zheng|Commissioner and came out.
"Old Lin." Fan Yunqing called with a smile.
Lin Baichuan nodded: "Why are you here at this time?"
"Forget it, it's not that girl from Xiaoxing." Fan Yunqing pointed to Lin Baichuan's office, "Let's go in and talk."
Lin Baichuan turned around and walked to the office. When he entered the office, he greeted Fan Yunqing: "Sit down." Then he stood up and poured water for her.
Fan Yunqing looked at the military bed set up in the office, as well as the bedding on the bed, the washbasin towels under the bed and other toiletries, and asked meaningfully: "Why don't you stay with the eldest sister?"
Lin Baichuan handed her the water and did not answer the question. He only said: "What's wrong with Xiaoxing? Can't you explain it clearly on the phone? Do you want you to come here in person?"
"Oh!" Fan Yunqing lowered his head and blew on the hot water in the cup, "This girl is spoiled and can't bear any pain. Maybe she didn't want to live in the Diwozi dormitory, so she came up with a stupid idea and told me
She wants to get married. Isn’t the dormitory ready to be built soon? She’s about to get a house. If she has two jobs, it’s a certainty that she will get a house. That’s what she wants.”
"Just to divide the house?" Lin Baichuan frowned. If it was just for this, then he was not just being spoiled! He was completely stupid!
Fan Yunqing pondered for a moment before saying: "Maybe she has a certain liking for the young man. But she is only old enough to know what she likes and what she doesn't like. Besides, she is too young, even if she puts aside the marriage.
After the Gregorian year, she is only seventeen."
As I said, it doesn't matter whether a child of this age knows what liking is. He was only fourteen when he became a father. Fan Yunqing was only seventeen when he gave birth to Xiaoxing.
However, he did not use these words to refute Fan Yunqing, but only said: "As far as age is concerned, this is not a reason for objection."
Nowadays, the country has just been established, and the marriage law is still in the process of being drafted. When it will be promulgated, it is estimated that it will not be until next year at the earliest.
In the Soviet area, there are old marriage regulations, but they vary from place to place. Moreover, fifteen-sixteen and sixteen-seven are generally accepted as the marriage age.
The objection based on age is obviously not sufficient.
But no matter what he said, Lin Baichuan understood what Fan Yunqing meant, which was that he did not agree with the marriage. He asked: "What do you mean?"
Come to me, what do you want me to do?
"I mean, can I ask Lao Zhao?" Fan Yunqing put down his cup and asked tentatively.
Lao Zhao is the name of these old comrades. His name is Zhao Ping, and he is now the director of Factory 115.
What is the relationship with Lin Baichuan? It is a relationship that involves a fateful friendship on the battlefield.
"Why are you looking for Lao Zhao?" Lin Baichuan turned around, "Looking for him to intercede? That my daughter, Lin Baichuan, can't bear the hardship, so I asked my old comrade to give my daughter some special care? Give her a dormitory and call her
Life is comfortable? Isn't that so?" As he spoke, his face became gloomy, and then he reached out and slapped his face: "For you, this face is as long as it is useful.
The place, no matter it is dirty or smelly, you can use it as a rag, use it casually, use it casually! If you don’t want it, I have to have it. Isn’t your daughter taken care of well enough? She sits on the loudspeaker every day
In front of you, read the newspaper. When you are tired from reading, play a song for a while. When you feel better, have rested, and drank two cups of tea, when you remember, read two more paragraphs? You can ask around 115, who
Her job is more leisurely than hers? You went to find her once before. Do you think I don’t know? I am too lazy to tell you! I also thought, we owe our children, okay, isn’t it just to use her father’s face?
? Just do it! But Xiaofan, we have to know how to behave. We can’t make things difficult for Lao Zhao! Within the scope allowed by the regulations, favor Xiaoxing, this is allowed. But outside the scope of the regulations, unconditionally
It will be difficult for others to give her special treatment. How can he work as a factory director? Besides, what do you want me to say to others? They say that everyone can live in a house, but my daughter cannot live there? "
"It's not just the dormitory, it's mainly because I don't get along with the other girls in the same dormitory! The child is living in a miserable state!" Fan Yunqing quickly explained a few more sentences.
"Then this is even worse." Lin Baichuan looked at Fan Yunqing, "You do the same! She doesn't know the importance, and you don't know the importance either? What is work? Work means working and being a person at the same time. If you can't get along with someone,
Come on, this may be someone else's fault. If you can't get along with two people, this may also be someone else's problem. But none of the three, five, seven or eight people can get along with her, whose problem is it? What can parents do?
You have arranged a job for her through your connections, but you can't help her become a good person! Her problem is not just that she can't bear hardships. If you want her to learn to be good, you have to be willing to let her go and ask her to make a fortune.
Blood flow. This is really good for her."
"Okay, okay!" Fan Yunqing stood up, "I admit that what you said is right. But can we put this aside before talking about it. What we are talking about now is her marriage. Let me express my position first. I don't agree with her marriage.
That young man has three sisters at home, and one sister is married to a small business owner. I think this explains the problem. First, it is likely that the family favors sons over daughters. Then this young man must have been pampered and grew up.
.Because of this, I am worried about a series of problems that may arise after the marriage of these two children. Secondly, this young man’s parents are not very politically sensitive. How can they marry their daughter to a small business owner?”
you!
Simply baffling!
When people marry their daughters, do they know that they will be freed? Do they know that if they are freed, they will be divided into different categories?
Lin Baichuan waved his hand to tell her to stop, and said: "This is not important. I just ask you, you who oppose it all the time, have you ever seen that kid in person?"
Fan Yunqing shook his head: "No! But I don't think it's necessary to meet."
"You are putting the cart before the horse." You only look at other people's families and their conditions, but forget that the most important thing is you. If you want to find a son-in-law like this, can Niu Niu marry Yin Zhen? He took a deep breath
, unbuttoned the Ji Feng button and took a breath before saying, "Well, you go back first, and I will take the time to go there tomorrow to meet this young man." After saying this, he remembered to ask, "By the way...
…What’s the child’s name?”
"Su Jin." Fan Yunqing said: "I graduated from the Chinese Department of University B. Now I work in the Publicity Department of No. 115 Factory. Both of them work in the Publicity Department. Even if they have a good impression of each other, I'm afraid it's because of their close contact at work.
There are many reasons. Xiaoxing is still young, and my brother and sister-in-law were very strict in the past and did not give her the opportunity to interact with the opposite sex. How many people can she meet in this situation? Why..." Just say it's confirmed?
Seeing that she paused in the middle of her words, Lin Baichuan asked her, "Why don't you say anything anymore?" What on earth was going on?
Fan Yunqing smiled and said, "It's nothing... I mean, she has only met a few young men, so she decided to get married so rashly. It's really too hasty!"
This kind of thing depends on fate.
Lin Baichuan waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, we will talk about it when I meet someone."
That's all it can do.
There was nothing more to say. Fan Yunqing stood up and took another look at the camp bed before saying, "What's going on between you and the eldest sister? Does the eldest sister still have any misunderstandings? How about I help you to persuade them?"
What do you advise?
Lin Baichuan walked out: "You go about your business. I'm busy with something and can't take care of it. I'll wait until I'm busy for a while. I'm not the only one who lives in the division headquarters. Commissar Zhong and Lao Liu are all here.
The division headquarters is guarding. The gx side is fighting, so why bother? Besides, how old are you? Okay... that's it! Call me back."
Fan Yunqing smiled: "That's OK. Give me a call after you meet the person. I'll be in the office during the day."
The two of them came out while talking, one entered the war room and the other left the division headquarters.
Lin Baichuan said he would go and have a look, so he would really go and have a look.
Early the next morning, I didn't go out for morning exercises with the troops, but I ran all the way to the 115th Factory. It was only a dozen miles away, and I arrived there in a short run.
When he entered the factory, the Fourth Master was getting ready to leave the factory in his car.
The power plant is about to start heating, so I asked him to go and watch it, so he can feel reassured.
Then he had to run with him. As soon as the car arrived at the door, he saw Lin Baichuan wiping his sweat and walking in.
He stopped the car, opened the door and got out: "Dad..."
Lin Baichuan smiled when he saw his uncle, "Yinzhen..." He looked at the car, "Where are you going?"
"Over there at the power plant." Fourth Master said, "Actually, there's no big problem, I just need to be a little more cautious."
"It's a good thing to be cautious." Lin Baichuan nodded, "It's always good to be careful." He lowered his voice, "But don't listen to your mother and deliberately leave others a hand..."
"That's not possible." Fourth Master explained to him, "No matter what kind of machine it is, it must not be inspected or repaired two or three times a year? This is normal and required for safe production."
Lin Baichuan was even happier. In his opinion, this uncle was very principled: "That's good...that's good." He patted the Fourth Master on the shoulder: "Go and get busy."
Fourth Master then asked: "Are you looking for Tongtong? It's at the east end of the first floor..."
"Okay!" Lin Baichuan urged him, "I understand. I just want to walk around if I have nothing to do."
When the fourth master saw that he didn't say anything, he knew it in his mind. He didn't ask any questions, just got in the car and waved away.
Lin Baichuan really rushed to the office building.
The east side of the first floor?
Entering the building is the lobby. Standing in the lobby and looking towards the east corridor, you can see Niu Niu handing something to Xiaoxing at the end of the corridor. Then Xiaoxing took it and went upstairs directly from the east staircase.
In fact, it was nothing, just steamed buns stuffed with lard and dried radish steamed with cinnamon. It was delivered early in the morning, so Lin Yutong could only accept it. But she and Fourth Master had both eaten it, let alone eaten it, but they just didn’t eat it.
The fourth master didn't like to eat other people's food either. Lin Yutong simply pretended and brought it to Lin Xiaoxing. As for whether she would eat it herself or give it away, she couldn't care less.
Watching Lin Xiaoxing go up, and then turning his face like this, he saw Lin Baichuan standing on the other side.
She came over to greet him: "Dad, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"
"It's time to go back and have breakfast." Lin Baichuan pointed upward: "What did you give Xiaoxing?"
"Baozi." Lin Yutong didn't explain much, just asked: "You're here to see the young man named Su Jin, right? I'll take you to the third floor. As for my office..." She shook her head, "There are rules, you can't just take you with you."
People go in."
"Sure!" Lin Baichuan fully expressed his understanding. The two of them took the wide staircase in the middle to go up to the third floor. Directly opposite the staircase was the Publicity Department. The one mopping the floor in the corridor was Su Jin.
The young man was wearing a white shirt, a gray woolen vest, and blue trousers. He looked very capable.
Lin Baichuan laughed: "Young man is very angry." He only wears a vest on such a day!
Su Jin wiped her sweat and looked over. She was stunned for a moment. When she saw Lin Yutong following behind, she immediately became nervous. She leaned the mop to the side and quickly put down her rolled-up shirt sleeves: "You
……Hello……"
"Do you know who I am?" Lin Baichuan asked.
Su Jin glanced at Lin Yutong again: "Sister Lin is a famous fortune teller. I knew it on the first day I came to the factory. Later I also found out that she is Xiaoxing's sister, and she is following you... Xiaoxing
She also said that she went back home yesterday, and I guess you are Mr. Lin."
Quite a smart young man.
Lin Baichuan asked directly: "Did you date Xiaoxing and marry her because she is my daughter?"
"No..." Su Jin shook her head, her face flushed, and she looked a bit embarrassed, "No! What you said is an insult to my personality. I dated Xiaoxing because...she has always been
The kind of girl I want to marry...If Mr. Lin has any concerns, I can guarantee..."
"What promise?" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Xiaoxing. She was holding a lunch box in her hand, which Lin Yutong had given her before. At this moment, she rushed over and blocked Su Jin with her eyes wide open.
Behind him, he faced Lin Baichuan and Lin Yutong: "You don't need his guarantee, I can guarantee it. In this life, I, Lin Xiaoxing, will not ask Mr. Lin for anything, and I will not dare to trouble Mr. Lin in the slightest." After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yutong, and then
Said Lin Baichuan, "You can rest assured that even if your precious daughter and I are in the same factory, I won't dare to trouble her in the slightest, and I will never take advantage of her." With that, he put the hand in his hand.
He handed the lunch box to Lin Yutong, then took Su Jin to the office, leaving only one sentence: "This is okay!"
What kind of cowardly dog is this?
Lin Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was fine when he thought about it, and he was annoyed when he thought about it. How could he still get married in such a childish manner?
Lin Baichuan seemed to be used to Lin Xiaoxing over there, so he was not annoyed this time. He just turned around and walked downstairs. When he got downstairs, Lin Yutong handed the bun over and said, "You can eat it, it will get cold if you leave it for a while."
Lin Baichuan took the buns and stuffed them in in small bites.
Lin Yutong ran to the office and took out his own cup for him to drink, "Don't be angry."
"Don't be angry! You'll get used to it when you're angry." Lin Baichuan sighed, "This young man... is a little bit angry..."
Isn't it just a matter of bookishness to say what you want to guarantee when you can open your mouth?
One is inherently arrogant and doesn't know how to get along with others or deal with the world. The other is a scholar who is angry and has simple ideas.
It would be okay for two people to live like this if they had no worries about food and clothing but only love and sex, but how could their life only be about love and sex?
Even Lin Baichuan frowned: "It's not very appropriate!"
Lin Yutong just handed over the water without saying a word. This kind of people don't love if they don't love, and they will fight to the death if they fall in love. The more others object, the more she will pinch them.
Lin Baichuan seemed to know this truth: "Let's do this for now..." Go back and talk to Fan Yunqing. This child doesn't know how to talk to herself, but maybe it's okay with her mother.
But Fan Yunqing was also worried. He held the phone and said, "She won't say a word to me properly."
"If you don't say mother, how can you call me father?" Lin Baichuan said: "Go find her and have a good talk. It's not that we don't agree with this marriage, but at least, you have to call Su Jin's parents
Come forward, let's talk face to face about this marriage."
This makes sense too.
Although we don’t pay attention to the parents’ orders and the words of the matchmaker, when their children start a family, it is always understandable to seek their parents’ opinions and involve them.
Fan Yunqing felt that this was reasonable, so he went over to find his daughter in the evening and wanted to have a good talk. But looking at the environment where his daughter lived, it was indeed sad.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say another word of objection. But he said: "You don't have to listen to other people's opinions on such a big matter, but you must at least listen to the opinions of your uncle and aunt, right?"
Lin Xiaoxing did not refute this statement. After a few days, he took the time to return to Fan's house.
The Fan family looked at each other and asked, "What did your father and mother say?"
Lin Xiaoxing lowered her eyelids, "My mother said that I need to seek your opinions. If you agree, she and my father will have no objections."
this?
"I was raised by my uncle and aunt. Naturally, I have to listen to my uncle and aunt for this kind of thing." Lin Xiaoxing added.
Uncle Fan was not in a hurry and just said: "Then you have some free time. Bring the person back and show him to us."
The Fan family was particularly satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
He is cultured, well-educated, well-spoken, and polite. What is there to choose from such a partner?
The only bad thing is that the family background is too ordinary. But now, in the world of the poor, the more humble the family background, the greater the advantage.
Uncle Fan was very happy: "Hurry up and organize the wedding."
Aunt Fan said to Su Jin: "If you have classmates and friends gathering together, you can also call us Shula. She also studied in the capital for a year. I think you young people will always have something to talk about when we get together."
Su Jin agreed wholeheartedly and said to Lin Xiaoxing when she came out: "Your uncle and aunt are very kind people."
"What's the use of being kind?" Lin Xiaoxing's eyes were filled with sadness, "Nowadays, they are all capitalists."
Su Jin sighed: "The good guys and bad guys are not all determined by their ingredients."
Lin Xiaoxing couldn't agree more with this: "I'm still afraid that you will dislike me?"
"Don't I also have a brother-in-law who is a small business owner?" He said, "Actually, my eldest brother-in-law's family is not bad."
Both of them were very happy and talked about the marriage when they came back.
But how to get married?
Marriage Registration?
currently there is not.
Only with the approval of the factory, that is, the Human Resources Department, can the unit prove that the two are husband and wife.
Then can the Human Resources Department interfere with other people’s freedom of marriage?
After confirming that both parties were voluntary, a certificate was issued and registered in the file. From then on, the relationship between the two was husband and wife.
Lin Yutong was pulling the abacus beads when Yao Hong came in and said, "Sister Lin, is it time to eat your family's wedding candies?"
What wedding candy?
Lin Yutong was puzzled: "Am I still waiting to eat your wedding candy?" she joked.
"What did Sister Lin say?" Yao Hong blushed: "I mean, our big flower has an owner now. She is married!"
ah?
"When did it happen?" Lin Yutong's fingers continued to fly, and his speed was not affected at all.
Yao Hong glanced at her for a few times and felt a little strange in her heart. She didn't know whether she cared about her sister or not. She smiled and said, "You don't know?"
Lin Yutong didn't even raise his eyes: "Marriage is free. You can get married if you want to, even if you say it or not, you have to get married."
Is that what it says?
Yao Hong was puzzled, but still said: "I just registered with the Human Resources Department. Everyone is clamoring for wedding candy."
After Lin Yutong finished settling the accounts in his hand, he stood up and went to Corey's phone to give Lin Baichuan a message.
"Married?" Lin Baichuan's voice was very high-pitched, "Who approved her marriage?"
It's not like he's a member of the party, so he doesn't need anyone's approval. If he goes to the personnel department, he just needs to inform him. If he says he's asking for opinions, that's just polite.
Now the marriage law has not been promulgated, and marriage registration has not been resumed.
This marriage is not just decided.
After shouting loudly, Lin Baichuan also reacted and said: "I know. Just get busy! Let her take care of her affairs. Don't worry about it."
Lin Yutong really didn't care.
She and Fourth Master were also very busy. They bought some wood and Fourth Master started making furniture.
He changed the drawings of the dormitory building, and which house will be allocated in the future is basically decided. No one knows the dimensions better than him. He has to plan the rooms according to the dimensions.
It would take at least ten years to live in this Tongzilou.
"The place for the child to live must be reserved." He showed Lin Yutong the drawing. "The room is only 28 square meters, plus the kitchen is more than five square meters, the total area is less than 34 square meters. There is a bathroom on the balcony.
There is a faucet outside the bathroom, and there is only so much space for washing. I can’t make any other plans.”
So the only thing that can be used is these 28 square meters.
It’s not practical to make partitions. “So, when making furniture, you have to make furniture that can be spliced together at will. Then use furniture as partitions.”
Hmm! This is more reliable!
For example, the fourth master prepared a double-sided cabinet for the 'master bedroom'. The cabinet separates the 'bedroom' and the 'living room'. On the side facing the bedroom is the wardrobe. On the side facing the 'living room' is
Lockers.
"As soon as you enter the door, there is a cabinet on the right hand side with a shoe cabinet on one side and a bookshelf on the other." He marked it on the picture.
Lin Yutong nodded. In this way, there is a space for a desk and two chairs on the right side. This space can be used as a study room.
"Go forward...clear a door-sized distance, and then place a cabinet with a storage compartment on one side and a wardrobe on the other."
Hmm! There is just enough space between the east wall and the wardrobe to put a double bed.
"The two-meter-wide passage leading to the balcony is left in the middle to be used as a living room."
He held a pen in his hand and drew on the drawing: "This half will also be made into furniture according to the size. Let it be placed against the wall first. When I have children in the future, this place will be just enough to separate two small rooms and put bunk beds."
, the children can live there.”
As long as the layout is compact, there is enough space for three or five children to squeeze in.
People live in a small apartment of about thirty square meters. Isn’t it small enough to have all the necessary features? As long as the layout is reasonable and the design is clever, the space will be enough.
Just looking at the furniture designs designed by Fourth Master, Lin Yutong was quite satisfied.
At night, the two of them sat in the ground, knocking and preparing for moving to a new home.
Hearing the commotion, Qian Siyuan also came over to help. He simply didn't want to stay in his den in the ground and came out to get some warmth. He also said to Lin Yutong: "I even want to live in the corridor of your house." Then.
The corridors with the word "Hui" are all warmer than his home.
It's just nonsense, no one takes it seriously.
But as he talked, he couldn't help but talk about the newly married couple, "You two sisters and brother-in-law don't even think about going over to help."
What can I do to help?
"Dig a nest in the ground?" Didn't you hear any noise?
"What kind of nest are you digging?" Qian Siyuan was very envious, "The two of them have temporarily settled in the broadcast studio. They are laying on the floor."
oh?
Is this such a perfect match?
It’s not even possible to have heating in the office area! The new housing trend is crazy.
However, "How can we help when we've already laid the floor?" Lin Yutong asked, "There's only one quilt for each person. Is there anything that needs to be moved?"
As soon as these words came out, loud footsteps came from outside. Then Lin Xiaoxing came in with a dark face: "I'm here to get my things."
Yes! She heard what she just said.
Will you give me a look when you hear this?
Lin Yutong just pointed at the shelf: "Move it yourself."
Su Jin came in very embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly: "Sister, brother-in-law."
Lin Yutong thought about it, and when she got married, she received a pair of thermos bottles from Fan Yunqing. Now she had to repay the gift. But what should she give? She was not prepared at all.
She took out the two quilts brought from her hometown Jin's family and handed them to Su Jin: "You guys are in such a hurry that you didn't have time to prepare anything. These two quilts are new and have never been used once. Even if they are just to congratulate you on your wedding.
Very happy."
The quilt has a bright red back, which is tacky, but for the two of them, this is undoubtedly a timely help.
After leaving the house, Su Jin said to Lin Xiaoxing, "Your sister is actually very kind to you. Look at the gifts... they were given knowing our difficulties..."
"I know." Lin Xiaoxing's voice lowered, "I know she is quite good, but sometimes she can't control her temper."
Su Jin laughed: "My Xiaoxing, I still like to be coaxed."
"Who asked for coaxing?" Lin Xiaoxing scolded him, but her tone softened.
When Lin Baichuan and Fan Yunqing rushed over, there was a commotion in the bridal chamber.
Looking at the wedding room covered with a bright red quilt on the floor, Fan Yunqing almost couldn't help but push it over!
Lin Baichuan looked at the atmosphere that suddenly became colder, and saw that the young people who were noisy just now seemed to be frozen and silent now. He stiffly smiled and said: "... Make a fuss! Make a fuss.
Come on! Let's just come over and take a look..." Then he squatted down and touched the quilt on the ground, "It's still thin. I'll ask someone to send two folding beds soon."
Then, I really asked someone to send me two beds.
The bed was propped up in the corner, with two people's old mattresses and sheets on it. There were two new quilts, one spread under the body and the other covering the body.
In this way, Lin Xiaoxing married herself off.
Fan Yunqing burst into tears when she went back and went to find her brother and sister-in-law. The child kept saying that her uncle and aunt had agreed, "How could you agree?"
"Why can't you agree?" Sister-in-law Fan said: "You, you still don't know how to be a mother. You are not even as good as Lin Baichuan. They still know how to meet their young man first. What about you? Just listen.
, you can’t even meet the person, and you just say no! Tell me, why is it that one of them can’t do it? Is it because they are not worthy of each other in terms of their looks or their knowledge. Such a good couple, they are about the same age, and the young man is not bad.
If you don't agree to this, what kind of person do you want to find? Let me tell you, we think Su Jin is good. What kind of person do you want to find for Xiaoxing? Someone from the army, right? He has a future, right?
?Yunqing, Lin Baichuan is enough. As long as there is a soldier, there is no saying that he will not fight. With Xiaoxing's temperament, she can't live alone. She needs someone, and she won't go anywhere.
If you guard her and accompany her, then she will never be able to live a peaceful and happy life. Otherwise..." She shook her head, swallowed the unlucky words, and then said: "Let me tell you, your brother and I
I know that kid better than you do, and it will be like this even if you don't agree. Instead of trying to fight against me and your brother here, it's better to think of a way to ask your uncle to come forward quickly. It can also make our Xiaoxing's life easier.
."
For Su Jin, good times did come too suddenly.
First, they got married and picked the most beautiful flower in the factory. Then, an article praising the workers for their hard work and self-reliance to build their own factories and contribute to the new country suddenly appeared in the provincial newspaper.
Praise from leaders comes one after another.
Soon there was news that my family might be allocated a house.
As the weather got colder and colder, and soon after a heavy snow fell, there was another commotion about dividing houses.
Guilan next door was pregnant, and she didn’t find out until she was five months old. She had a stomachache at first, and then found a slight bleeding. She went to the health center and found out she was pregnant. It was a sign of miscarriage, which was also caused by her constant diarrhea.
tired.
It was bad luck, but it also gave her an excuse.
So I went to the factory with my belly full.
She didn't go alone yet, so she took Cheng Meini with her: "Let's go find the leaders! Why do we ask them? Why do we do the hardest and most tiring work, but get the lowest wages, and are still temporary workers?"
It's a big deal to allocate houses now. Let me tell you, if you don't get it this time, you will be driven back to your hometown. Our house will have to be demolished. What do they want to build... We
These people take up too much space."
Cheng Meini has also heard that there are indeed such rumors recently.
There are single-room dormitories for dual-employee workers, not group dormitories for dual-employee workers. In group dormitories, four people can live in one dormitory, and ten people can be crammed into it. So the family members of the employees can only apologize and wait until the conditions in the factory are better.
Come again, everyone.
It must have been arranged this way.
"We are considered temporary workers now." Guilan said: "But these temporary workers are also workers. If we don't make trouble now, if we don't find a way to become a regular worker, we will be finished. We can only go back to farming. I don't know what's going on in your hometown.
You know, I've never had enough to eat since I've grown up. Although I can't say I'm full here, at least I'm not hungry anymore. So, no matter how hard or tired I am, I don't say a word. But now
, I can’t do it without words..."
Cheng Meini took off her apron, stood up and left. Guilan didn't want to go back, and she didn't want to go back even more.
Not only did she not want to go back, she couldn't go back.
The Qian family are landlords, but what about the Cheng family? They are landlords themselves, or they are counter-revolutionary landlord elements who want to escape.
When I return to my own life, it’s not just about eating enough.
The two women went to the factory with great enthusiasm.
The factory office is on the second floor. For the two women who had never entered the office area, they just ran around and couldn't find a place.
Qian Siyuan saw these two people when he came out of the toilet. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here? Can you run around in this place?"
Guilan said: "Don't blame the big girl, I pulled her." She covered her stomach with one hand and supported the wall with the other. "I have to go find the leader. How long will it take for the two of us to work as temporary workers?"
Head?"
Qian Siyuan understood: it was for the house.
He also wants a house.
So he called the two women to the corner and whispered this and that order: "...You go directly to the office on the third floor, facing the stairs. After entering, look for the woman in military uniform, so to speak..."
Then he sent the people up.
Lin Yutong came over to inform each department about the time for them to receive their wages, and asked the Fourth Master what he wanted to eat today.
After he finished asking, he saw Qian Siyuan's sly smile.
She asked: "What bad thing did you do again?"
"Who did something bad?" Qian Siyuan whispered: "You have to go to the third floor to deliver the notice. Go up... go up and take a look. You will know everything."
What and what, I know.
Lin Yutong ignored him and finished delivering the items on the second floor before going up to the third floor.
As soon as we got to the third floor, we heard Guilan's voice coming from the propaganda department. She was crying and said: "... Comrade reporters, you don't know how difficult it is for us. But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it.
The factory is our own, and we workers are the masters of our own business. Of course, although I am still a temporary worker, I know that as long as I work hard, the leaders will see it, and I will become the master of the factory sooner or later.
…”
Oh! It turned out that it was an article by Su Jin that attracted a reporter from the provincial newspaper. But the reporter's arrival just happened to make someone make a fuss about this, and the picture... was a house!
This thing about a house, it’s hard to describe in words just thinking about it...
