Li Qinghe rubbed her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, you will definitely come back. The country must develop. It is difficult to develop under the current situation. The wisdom and vision of the leadership are difficult for us to imagine. They will definitely see this, but some things must be experienced before we can truly settle down."
"How long will that take? I don't want to be separated from you."
Lou Xiao'e's eyes were a little red and tears fell.
Li Qinghe wiped her tears away and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long. I will find a chance to see you. I have a way to get there."
"Really?" Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise.
"What are you talking about? Why would a grown man like me lie to you? Okay, let's go and cook." Li Qinghe's face turned serious and he patted her on her perky butt.
At this point, Lou Xiao'e was no longer sad. She rolled her eyes at Li Qinghe and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the food was served, including fried shredded potatoes, a cabbage, white rice porridge and white steamed buns.
This was already a very rich meal. Li Qinghe took a bite, nodded with satisfaction, and thought it tasted good. He then wolfed it down.
After dinner, Li Qinghe went out for a while, but he didn’t ride a bicycle, he just walked.
An hour later, he came back with a bag of food, which contained rice, flour, a processed rooster, some snacks he bought at the department store, and finally beef.
He slaughtered a cow in the space and put five pounds of meat into a bag.
Now that the two calves have grown up and the bred calves have also reached adulthood, he slaughtered the bred cows directly because he was not sure whether the space could allow the inbred cows to grow normally, so he did not touch the original two.
Fortunately, it is noon now and the third uncle has not come back yet, otherwise I would have to rack my brains to deal with this calculating guy.
When I got home, Lou Xiao'e had already cleaned up the dishes.
Putting the bag on the table immediately attracted Lou Xiao'e's attention.
"Qinghe, what are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e came over with a puzzled look on her face.
Li Qinghe smiled mysteriously, "I can't go home every day, and I'm worried about you being alone at home, so I brought back some good things for you."
Then he started to take out things, first a bag of snacks, then a big rooster weighing nearly six pounds, a large piece of beef, and then two bags of ten pounds of rice and flour.
Lou Xiao'e was stunned. Was this bad guy going to rob someone?
"Qinghe, you're not going to do anything bad, are you?" Lou Xiao'e didn't pay attention to these things, but asked with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm an honest man. How could I do anything bad? I asked my friend to help me with this before I went home. I hope you won't feel uneasy when you're at home."
"Qinghe..." Lou Xiao'e was moved.
"Okay, you should be more careful at home and don't trust people in the hospital easily, okay?" Li Qinghe rubbed her head.
"Um."
After giving the instructions, he asked Lou Xiao'e to pack up all the things and left some money at home.
Although Lou Xiao'e is the eldest daughter of the Lou family, she is not in the Lou family now after all. Although she has some money on her, it is not much, and even fewer bills. She must arrange everything for her before going out.
Lou Xiao'e did not show any resistance. Li Qinghe was her man, and the responsibility of supporting the family was Li Qinghe's.
......
As the afternoon passed, people who had been working came back one after another.
Li Qinghe was going to the toilet. As soon as he went out, he ran into He Yuzhu who was carrying a lunch box. He happened to see a bicycle parked under the eaves.
"Qinghe, is this bicycle yours?"
He Yuzhu stared at the brand new car for a long time before asking uncertainly.
"Yeah, that's not bad." Li Qinghe smiled proudly.
He was not really proud, but was just trying to keep up with the times. In this era, it would be unreasonable not to show off after buying a bicycle. You know, owning a bicycle was a very face-saving thing in this era. Some people would kick their wives out of bed after buying a bicycle and sleep with their arms around the bicycle.
Just like the third uncle Yan Bugui, who bought a second-hand Fei Ge bicycle and wanted to clean it three times a day. Li Qinghe had never seen his bicycle dirty.
"It's more than good." He Yuzhu's eyes were full of envy.
Then he reacted, “Why did you suddenly buy a bicycle?”
Li Qinghe sighed, "Hey, I was sent to help out at a brother company, the Red Star Machine Repair Factory, which is more than 20 miles away. How can I get there without a bicycle? I even got the bicycle ticket from Director Yang."
"Red Star Machine Repair Factory? I seem to have some impression of it." He Yuzhu looked thoughtful, then slapped his head, "I remember, I've been there before, it's a small factory with only a few hundred people, there was a cook there, his cooking skills were pretty good, his name was... oh yeah, his name was Nan Yi, but his background was not very good, I heard he's been arrested now, he's cleaning the toilet now."
"Nanyi?!!"
Li Qinghe suddenly raised his voice, which frightened He Yuzhu so much that he trembled.
"Do you know him?" He Yuzhu looked puzzled.
"Ahem." Li Qinghe coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I don't know him, I'm just curious why a cook would go to sweep the toilet. According to you, your skills are pretty good."
Li Qinghe's heart was in turmoil, could it be such a coincidence?
In the machine repair shop, the cook Nan Yi has a bad background and is sent to sweep the toilet.
"Um, Brother Zhuzi, can you tell me what happened? A cook actually went to clean the toilet."
He Yuzhu was not very clear either, scratching his head, "I don't know the specific situation, I just heard it, it is indeed rare for a cook to sweep the toilet, but it is said that he is the descendant of the imperial chef, and probably no one dared to use him, so he went to sweep the toilet."
In this era, class of origin represents status, just like Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu.
Lou Xiao'e is the descendant of a big capitalist and is not welcomed anywhere. No matter how kind she is, she will always be discriminated against. In order to neutralize her background, the Lou family married her to Xu Damao. If it were in the past, Xu Damao could not even reach a single toe of Lou Xiao'e.
He Yuzhu comes from a family of hired farmers for three generations, and he has a solid background so he is confident wherever he goes.
Take the fact that he was in the factory. He would confront anyone he was unhappy with and use his fists when he got angry. He even dared to beat people from the security department. But nothing happened to him afterwards. It was because of his good background. As long as they didn't make any serious mistakes, no one would touch him.
If he had dared to do this before liberation, he would not have survived the next day.
But there is no way. Each era has its own rules. In this era, the poor are in charge, the poorer the better. If people are promoted in the factory, those with good backgrounds are given priority.
As for whether He Yuzhu's identity was fake, Li Qinghe didn't bother to care. It had nothing to do with him anyway and would not affect him.
