The brother and sister had breakfast consisting of fried dough sticks and steamed buns that Pei Shujing bought at the cafeteria before going to work.
The fried dough sticks in the cafeteria were very big and cost four cents each. Pei Shujing bought two for Zhang Hongcheng.
Zhang Yumin's breakfast consists of half a steamed bun and warm water from her own home.
This is not because Pei Shujing is deliberately harsh on her own daughter, but because Zhang Hongcheng will be going to the factory for a trial in a few days and needs to build up his complexion and strength as soon as possible.
Although the stepson looks good, he can easily be seen by the masters as someone who cannot carry anything on his shoulders or hands, so the masters will have to test the adopted son's strength on the spot.
Zhang Hongcheng sat down to eat breakfast while Zhang Yumin was packing her school bag.
She was wearing a blue work suit that had been deliberately cut too small, with patches sewn on the elbows and knees.
There is a badge on the chest.
Zhang Hongcheng discovered that Zhang Yumin's pair of small-sized Liberation shoes had been washed almost completely white.
And my pair of large-sized Jiefang shoes looks quite new.
Zhang Hongcheng was a little curious and asked his cheap sister a few more questions.
"It's already past eight o'clock, why are you going to school just now?"
Zhang Yumin didn't expect that Zhang Hongcheng, who always ignored her, would ask her this.
Normally, Zhang Yumin would not bother to pay attention to him. When she was angry, she would say, "It's none of your business."
But thinking that this guy rarely spoke to her mother in a sarcastic tone yesterday, she endured it.
"The teachers had a meeting this morning, and the classroom was a mess... Everyone knows it!"
At the end of her words, she couldn't help but make a small sarcastic remark to the other party.
But as soon as Zhang Yumin finished speaking, she felt a little regretful.
My half-brother has a very bad temper, and he will definitely get angry if I say something sarcastic to him.
But today Zhang Hongcheng was very strange, he just said "Oh".
Although Zhang Hongcheng was an orphan before he traveled through time, his roommate Fatty Hu had a younger sister, so he had seen too many younger sisters being sarcastic towards their older brother, and he thought Zhang Yumin's reaction was normal.
Zhang Yumin went out but was muttering to himself.
Her elder brother didn't quarrel with her today?
The sun rises from the west?
After breakfast and washing the dishes, Zhang Hongcheng pocketed all the money and tickets and strolled out.
In fact, Zhang Hongcheng was a little worried about making an appointment with his ex-girlfriend She Meihua to meet for dinner.
In the original body's memory, the overly polite stepmother and the naturally incompatible sister were actually easier to deal with.
But the original body, who was in love, told his object She Meihua almost everything.
This gave Zhang Hongcheng a headache.
Although She Meihua took the initiative to break up, it was obviously a deliberate retreat by the other party.
The She family is eyeing their job opportunity to stay in the city!
How can I make the transition from "I have to have you" to "we both hate each other" less abrupt?
Did he say that he saw through the She family's thoughts and was therefore disheartened?
But She Meihua's family hasn't done anything yet. If I use this excuse and She Meihua spreads some news about my suspicion and indifference, my reputation will be ruined.
After all, when the time comes, one will stay in the city to work and the other will go to the frontier to join the team. People will naturally believe and sympathize with the weaker party.
Zhang Hongcheng is well aware of the consequences of "it's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them."
If your reputation is bad these days, it will be a big problem for finding a job, promotion, or even a partner.
Therefore, this breakup must be very natural so that neither others nor the She family can find any fault.
Zhang Hongcheng strolled along the way. The old red brick dormitory buildings and mottled walls, which seemed unremarkable to ordinary people, were full of the unique interest of this time and space in his eyes.
He looked at the scenery that seemed boring to others with great interest.
"Hey, Zhang Hongcheng!"
The call from the lesbian awakened Zhang Hongcheng who was fascinated by the scene.
I didn't know when two young female comrades were standing next to me, looking at me with curiosity.
Although they were wearing the same half-worn green military uniform as passers-by, these two young and energetic lesbians were particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Hongcheng thought about it and realized that these two were his high school classmates.
"Lu Yan, Chen Beilei, hello."
Seeing Zhang Hongcheng's smile, Lu Yan pretended to be surprised.
She pointed at Zhang Hongcheng and said to Chen Beilei bluntly, "It's only been a year since graduation, and look how much our classmate Zhang Hongcheng has changed! He actually smiles at women other than Comrade She Meihua!"
Chen Beilei casually replied, "Is it because he's in high spirits because of good things happening to him? I heard that Zhang's position will be coming soon? Congratulations, congratulations!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Yan's tone, and Chen Beilei's "congratulations" even contained a hint of mockery.
The tone of their voices made Zhang Hongcheng feel a little moved.
"Then you're mistaken," Zhang Hongcheng said tentatively, "Actually, I'm worried about Comrade She Meihua, eh~~~~."
As expected, Chen Beilei's ridicule followed.
"What are you guys worried about? You'll start working at the factory in a few days, and she can just go and register with you!"
“The families of employees naturally don’t need to be sent down.”
Lu Yan hurriedly pulled Chen Beilei.
The same goes for Chen Beilei. It’s okay that she dislikes She Meihua, but can the issue of whether someone gets married or not be discussed in public?
They are lesbians!
Chen Beilei also knew that she had spoken out of turn and smiled awkwardly.
But Zhang Hongcheng felt that Chen Beilei, who was obviously at odds with She Meihua, appeared at the right time!
