Being beaten
After Xu Chunling finished cleaning the kitchen with everyone in the evening, she was reluctant to go home. As she was walking on the road, she suddenly thought of her brother.
If her brother were still alive, she would definitely not be like this, and Liu Jun would probably restrain himself in normal times. But when she thought of her nephew Hongqi, Xu Chunling no longer dared to think about her brother.
It was her fault. She didn't know why she listened to Liu Jun's sweet words and was bewitched by him. She even ignored the advice of her brother who had depended on her since childhood and insisted on marrying the rural boy Liu Jun. Looking at a couple helping each other on the side of the road, Xu Chunling began to cry again.
Before I even reached the door, I heard Liu Jun yelling, "Damn it! That little bastard actually dared to trick me! Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with him."
Xu Chunling was a little scared, but when she thought of her eldest son who was also at home, she mustered up some courage.
As soon as he opened the door, Liu Jun, who was standing in the narrow room, saw him. "Why are you dawdling? You used to care about your nephew, but do you see how he cares about you? You can sell your job just like that."
Xu Chunling felt like the dust had settled after hearing this. She said with a bitter face, "Now that he's grown up, if he wants to take it back, then take it back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face. Liu Jun pointed at her and said angrily, "You are a drag on the team. The job has been given to you, so what are you doing? Are you just sitting there starving?"
When Liu Xuecheng in the room heard the crisp sound of slapping, he knew that his father was beating his mother again, and hurried out of the separate room.
In recent years, because the family has two jobs, his father has rarely hit his mother. But in the afternoon, his father came home angrily and went out again, and came back in an even worse mood. He vaguely knew from the cursing words that the family job was sold by his cousin. He knew that this cousin was not an easy person to deal with.
Standing in front of his mother, he said to Liu Jun, "Dad, Mom doesn't know anything. What's the point of getting angry at her?"
"It's better to think about what to do next."
The Liu Jun family was quarreling, while the Xu family was the opposite...
Xu's mother smiled as she packed Xu Fengcheng's luggage. It had already been agreed that Xu Fengcheng would live in the factory dormitory after work, which was also arranged by Bai Rongrong with her help.
Looking at the large and small bags, Xu Nian thought it was a good thing that the weather was hot, otherwise she didn't know how much stuff she would have to pack.
As soon as this afternoon, Xu's mother hurried home and took her daughter to start packing. Near the end of the afternoon, someone brought a message saying that Xu Fengcheng had to report tomorrow.
This has put the Xu family in the spotlight. Everyone is wondering what happened. Did the youngest son of the Xu family really end up working in the Hua County factory?
There are many curious people, and it is not easy for the Xu family to escape, so time is urgent at night.
Mother Xu didn't feel tired when she looked at the results of her cleaning. She had a smile on her face all the time. Xu Nian was also infected by her smile and became happy. In addition, after apologizing to Xu Hongqi in the afternoon, her guilt was also alleviated a little.
Early the next morning, the Xu family was waiting at the door to see Xu Fengcheng off, and Uncle Xu was even waiting at the door on his bicycle.
Originally Xu Qinghua wanted to deliver the child, but he didn't know how to ride a bike, so Grandpa Xu assigned his eldest son to do it.
Xu Fengkai, who needed to go to the county to get the notice, was arranged to take the village donkey cart. Since he had enough time, he could just ride back with his father when he came back.
The house was bustling with activity, and Xu Hongqi also came out on crutches to see them off. Xu Nian saw that all the men in the Xu family were tall and strong, and Xu Hongqi in the middle looked like a little chick. He wanted to laugh, but suddenly felt a little sad.
After everyone left, Xu's father and mother felt a little emotional, and Xu Nian also felt a sense of the end of the song and the dispersal of the people, but this emotion did not last long and was destroyed by his little nephew and niece who woke up.
When the three children learned that their uncle, who usually took them out to play, had gone to work, they showed no emotion at all. They just clapped their hands happily and said they had candy. This made Xu's mother look at her two daughters-in-law sideways. She didn't believe that the children could know this without the adults gossiping at home...
It's almost mid-July now, and the weather is getting hotter. Xu Nian might be feeling a bit summer-hardy, so he doesn't feel like eating much and just drank half a bowl of porridge.
She felt a little hungry halfway through the morning, so she sneaked into her room while Xu Hongqi went to the bathroom to look for biscuits. She took out the oil paper and found that there were only three pieces of peach cakes left. She ate them carefully with her hands, one bite at a time.
While she was enjoying her meal, she accidentally glanced out the window and saw Xu Hongqi staring at her meaningfully, which scared Xu Nian.
Xu Hongqi thought she had gone out to do something. When he returned to the room and didn't see anyone, he wanted to find someone to talk to and ask her to take a break if she was tired. He found that Xu Nian would listen better this way.
As a result, I saw the girl savoring the snacks carefully, her eyes narrowed with joy. I guess the half bowl of porridge she had in the morning was not enough to satisfy her hunger.
Xu Hongqi walked to the door and sincerely suggested, "Eat more next time."
Xu Nian was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that Xu Hongqi didn't have any other intentions, he said as if they were close friends after getting to know each other better, "It's been too hot lately, and I sometimes have no appetite."
Then he handed the peach cake to Xu Hongqi and said, "You should have one too, to supplement your meal."
This was just something you say at home. If outsiders heard that some people had no appetite, their spines might be broken. Xu Hongqi saw that she was pretending to be generous but feeling pained at the same time, so he was in a good mood and picked carefully, letting Xu Nian watch helplessly as a larger piece was picked away by him.
Xu Nian blinked at Xu Hongqi as if to say, "Are you serious?"
Xu Hongqi did this on purpose, making her lose focus while studying. He took a bite and said, "Didn't you apologize to me yesterday?" He took another bite and continued, "It seems your apology yesterday wasn't sincere either."
When Xu Nian said this, he felt guilty for a moment and smiled flatteringly, "You eat it, you eat it, I'll keep this piece for you too."
Xu Hongqi said "hmm" in a cold tone, which made Xu Nian feel that "poor and arrogant" now had a synonym.
Xu Nian ate the remaining half even more cherished. Suddenly he thought of something and said to Xu Hongqi, "Brother Hongqi, did you not wash your hands after going to the toilet?"
Xu Hongqi: “…”
Xu Nian had some bad intentions. He just wanted to "tease" Xu Hongqi a little so that he wouldn't lose the upper hand in front of him every time. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that there would be a perpetrator for every wrong. Next time Brother Xu San came back, he would have to extort some money from him.
Xu Fengcheng, who was being talked about, was reporting happily at this time, collecting the dormitory key, making his bed, and someone took him to collect his work clothes. Not to mention his legs, even his eyes were a little busy. He wished he had another pair of eyes to appreciate the scenery of the county factory. He had no idea about his younger sister's plan.
It's easy to be an "official" when you have someone above you. On his first day at work, Bai Rongrong was there to escort him. Plus, he was sweet-talking and good at talking, so his two days of office life could be said to be like a fish in water.
That morning, Master Ren, who was with him, held a glass of water and said, "Xiao Xu, you've read a lot of record-keeping regulations these past two days. We still have to go to the workshop to do our work."
He turned around and joked to the other people in the office, "We are the only two male colleagues in the office, so it's not good to ask the ladies in our office to leave, right?"
As soon as he said this, he was given the cold shoulder by several female colleagues. However, Xu Fengcheng could see that the interpersonal relationships in the office were good, and he knew it was a joke. He smiled innocently, stood up and said seriously: "Yes, Master is right!"
The office was filled with laughter and chaos before the incident ended.
Master Ren is a middle-aged man. His wife is a teller at the supply and marketing cooperative. Both of them are from the county town and their family is quite well off. So he is a very kind person. Seeing that Xu Fengcheng is a good person, he felt comfortable teaching him and naturally put his heart into it.
After taking him a few times and seeing that Xu Fengcheng learned quite quickly, I stopped following him to the workshop every time. I would let him go by himself and ask him if he didn't understand something.
It was fine the first few times, but recently there is always a group of people who not only drag their feet when reporting the numbers, but also make trouble during the inspection, which seriously affects his efficiency.
Today he went to the workshop alone again, which was a few large yards covering several acres. Some had roofs, while others were deliberately roofless and used to expose wood to the sun and dry furniture paint.
As soon as he walked over, he saw a man about 1.7 meters tall, looking at him with a somewhat violent look. Xu Fengcheng didn't understand why, but if he was afraid, he wouldn't be the one. He had always suppressed others since he was a child, and no one had dared to provoke him.
He deliberately walked over and asked, "Do you know me?" Without waiting for an answer, he casually said, "It doesn't matter whether you know me or not. Tell me the number of workpieces you made yesterday. I need to check them."
The one glaring at him was none other than Liu Jun, whose wife had lost her job. It took him two days of investigation to find out that the job was sold to this guy. He had been here for nearly ten years after all, and he still had a few like-minded friends. They treated him to a drink a couple of days ago, and when they talked about this, several of them boasted that they would make Xu Fengcheng unable to continue his job.
But in fact, they only dare to make small moves. If an ordinary person could really help, after all, the other person is a doer when he comes here, so some things can be just said and it’s okay to just do it.
Liu Jun has been able to stay in the furniture factory without making any mistakes, which shows that he is capable. Of course, he would not act rashly. Seeing Xu Fengcheng asking, he reported the number to the boy and led him for inspection.
After work, Xu Fengcheng thought about it and planned to get together with his friends since he had been there for two days. Fortunately, his grandfather secretly gave him some pocket money when he came, otherwise he would not dare to go out.
He found a few people, and when others knew about it, they also ran over to see his "power". Xu Fengcheng smiled and treated them to a meal. Others did not take advantage of him. Xu Fengcheng paid the money and they provided the food coupons.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and they felt that Chengzi did not become arrogant even though he worked as a worker. He was a person who could get along with others. It would be nice to brag about such a friend!
Xu Fengcheng didn't dare to drink, but Brother Hong, who had always been their leader, drank a lot. After eating and drinking, it was dark, so Xu Fengcheng asked everyone to leave together. He would see Brother Hong off. The others had no objection, so they walked out of the state-owned restaurant.
Brother Hong walked unsteadily, and Xu Fengcheng held on to him and didn't dare to let go. When he was close to him, he could hear him mumbling, "Chengzi, although brother didn't get a job in the factory, he also found a profitable business." After saying that, he looked around and continued to laugh foolishly.
Xu Fengkai felt that if this was true, he would be very happy. He was also afraid that everyone would think he was a worker and feel disappointed. When the two of them were about to turn the corner at the door of their home, suddenly a few people with their heads covered came over and beat everyone they saw. Xu Fengcheng felt that he could not handle it alone, so he pulled Hongge and wanted to run away, but the burden was too heavy and he could not escape, so he was beaten.
Xu Fengcheng tried his best to protect the two men's heads and faces. After a few minutes, one of the men said in a hoarse voice, "Kid, remember, don't touch things you shouldn't touch, or you'll get beaten."
After saying that, the group of people left, leaving Xu Fengcheng, the only one awake, gritting his teeth in anger. He asked why he was so calm. His father and younger sister had both told him that there might be trouble, and he was careless. He would not be a gentleman if he did not take revenge.
Fortunately, it was probably just a lesson, and the injury was not serious. After carrying Brother Hong home with some difficulty, Xu Fengcheng returned to the dormitory alone.
