1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

When he returned home, Qin Huairu had already prepared breakfast. After Chen Xiao finished eating, he rode his bike to work.

As soon as I arrived at the workshop, I saw Jia Zhang talking to the workshop leader.

Although I couldn't hear the conversation between the two, I could guess that the workshop director was in a very bad mood.

Because his whole face was pulled down, gloomy and a little scary.

"Director, what I said is true. My Dongxu is really sick. Look, this is the hospital bill."

Afraid that the workshop director would not believe her, Jia Zhang took out her hospital bill.

The workshop director just glanced at it and then stopped looking at the payment slip.

For some reason, he has been prejudiced against Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu recently.

The master and the apprentice had to ask for leave one after another due to accidents.

If everyone in the factory acts like this, how can the factory continue to operate and how can the country develop?

"Tell me, how many days of leave do you want?" the workshop director said expressionlessly.

Jia Zhang stretched out a hand.

"Five days??"

"You'd better take more leave, otherwise you won't be discharged from the hospital by then and have to make another trip."

"No need, Director. Five days are enough! Director, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore." Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything more. After completing her leave application, she said goodbye and left.

The workshop director sighed lightly and came to Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, the deputy director asked you to go find him."

"Director, what does the deputy director want to see me about?" Chen Xiao was a little puzzled.

"If you ask me, who should I ask? Go quickly to avoid wasting time."

Chen Xiao came to the deputy director's office and just knocked on the door when he heard Zhang Aiguo's clear and melodious voice from inside the room.

"Please come in."

Chen Xiao opened the door and saw Zhang Aiguo looking down at some documents.

He spoke to Chen Xiao without even looking up.

"Is it Chen Xiao?"

"Uncle Zhang, it's me. I wonder what Uncle Zhang wants to talk to me about today?"

When he arrived at the office, Chen Xiao was not shy. He pulled up a chair and sat down facing Zhang Aiguo as if he were at home.

After all, he asked me to call him uncle last time. As a junior, I must not be so formal.

"I told my lover about your marriage a few days ago."

"Your aunt insisted that I invite you and your lover to her home, saying that she wanted to meet your lover."

"Let's set the time for tomorrow afternoon. I'll have the driver drive to the courtyard to pick you up then."

Before Chen Xiao had time to think about it, Deputy Factory Director Li Aiguo directly decided the matter.

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly beside him.

"Uncle Zhang, this isn't very nice... You've already made this decision without even asking for my approval."

Zhang Aiguo raised his eyebrows and said.

"So, do you want to agree or not?"

"I agree, how can I not agree?"

The fact that the deputy director personally sent a driver to pick him up at the courtyard was enough to show how much he valued him.

It seems that Chen Xiao is about to become the first man in Siheyuan to ride in a car.

How can I miss this opportunity to show off?

After coming out of the deputy director's office, Chen Xiao went home from get off work and told Qin Huairu about this.

"Chen Xiao, you said that a car will come to pick us up to have dinner at the leader's house tomorrow?" Qin Huairu looked up at Chen Xiao, her eyes full of admiration.

Her man is really capable. He actually knows the deputy factory director and they have a very close relationship. In the future, Chen Xiao will definitely have a high position in the steel rolling mill.

At least I can become a section chief.

Qin Huairu then continued to ask.

"Chen Xiao, when we take the bus tomorrow, should we sit in the front or in the back? If we sit in the back, I'll prepare two extra layers of clothes so I won't be cold."

Chen Xiao: “…”

"What do you mean by front and back? Do you think it's a truck? We're going by car tomorrow!" As he spoke, Chen Xiao reached out and gently tapped Qin Huairu's forehead.

Qin Huairu squeezed her eyes and rubbed her forehead in pain, she said aggrievedly.

"Then why didn't you say it was a car? I thought it was a big truck."

Qin Huairu is a country girl and has only seen a few cars in her life.

In her impression, cars were only for the most powerful people, while other leaders rode in large military trucks.

"Does it hurt? Come here, I'll rub it for you."

Chen Xiao pulled Qin Huairu into his arms and rubbed her forehead.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips, clenched her pink fist and punched Chen Xiao on the chest.

"What do you think? How about I play the guitar for you and give it a try?"

"Ouch... I think my ribs are broken." Chen Xiao was hit by Qin Huairu's punch, then he took two steps back and sat on the chair, complaining constantly.

"Ah? That's impossible. I clearly didn't use any force just now, how could I possibly break your ribs?"

Qin Huairu panicked. She just wanted to teach Chen Xiao a lesson, but she never expected that she would break Chen Xiao's ribs.

She swore she didn't mean it.

At this moment, she was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and she was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

"Chen Xiao, wait for me at home. I'm going out to look for Uncle Three!"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu was about to run to find Yan Bugui.

In the past few days since she got married, the person Qin Huairu is most familiar with in the courtyard is the third aunt.

The third aunt was pregnant and was very concerned about Qin Huairu, coming over from time to time to ask about her well-being.

I just don’t know if this was instigated by Yan Bugui, after all, he still owes Chen Xiao money.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao grabbed Qin Huairu's hand.

"Don't bother Third Uncle. Just give me a kiss and my ribs will be healed."

Qin Huairu turned around.

Now Chen Xiao doesn't look like he has broken ribs at all, it's obvious that he is making a joke of himself.

This made Qin Huairu angry and want to cry.

"You...how can you be so bad?"

"If you continue like this, I will really ignore you."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was a little angry, Chen Xiao got up and closed the door.

Then he hugged Qin Huairu no matter how she resisted.

He gave her a fierce blow.

Just when Chen Xiao felt something trying to pry open his teeth, he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Huai Ru, you cook at home first. I'll go to Huai Guo to take a look."

"Look how many Konjac Juices he sold today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao opened the door and rode out on his bike.

Qin Huairu stomped her feet in anger in the room.

"It really keeps people in suspense!"

"I've made it so difficult for others to move forward. How could you be so mean!!!"

......

When we arrived at Qin Huaiguo's yard, Qin Huaiguo was about to go out with Konjac on his back.

In one day, he sold 50 copies! At 2 yuan per copy, 50 copies would make 10 yuan.

It was the first time he had seen so much money, and the small change of banknotes filled up his trouser pockets.

The goods are sold out now, so I plan to carry another bag and sell more before it gets dark.
