Chapter 118 They are worthy of admiration



Chapter 118 They are very admirable

Xia Qingxi naturally understood what the woman meant, but as the person involved, it would be wisest to pretend not to understand and not to talk, because once she started talking, everyone would talk more vigorously.

"What are you talking about all day? You are the only one who is not serious." The older sister pretended to scold the person who just spoke, then looked at Xia Qingxi who was working with her head down, and deliberately smiled and said:

"Haha, Qingxi, don't pay attention to her, she is just talking nonsense all day."

"Where am I talking nonsense, didn't you just say that? Even if it is a cow, he can be knocked down by it."

Hahahaha...

After hearing her words, everyone immediately laughed again.

Hearing such explicit dirty talk, no matter how Xia Qingxi pretended to be calm, she blushed unconsciously. These older sisters are really...

Liu Xiaohong, who was standing aside, looked at Xia Qingxi's blushing face and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, but she couldn't help thinking about the intimate scene between her and that handsome man.

Although the older sister just joked, what she said was true. The man looked very strong and must be good in that aspect...

Liu Xiaohong retracted her gaze, feeling sour and annoyed.

After work in the afternoon, Xia Qingxi walked out of the workshop with everyone else, preparing to tell Lu Jingxi at the factory gate that she was going to be a model today, so that he didn't have to wait for her and could go back first.

But when this group of people who were leaving work had left, there was still no sign of Lu Jingxi.

Usually he is always waiting for her at the door on time, why hasn't he come for so long today? Is there something urgent that prevents him from coming?

Xia Qingxi thought so and waited for a long time, but still no one showed up. She thought that he must be busy and couldn't come, but it was just right, so as not to make a wasted trip.

Taking out the dinner ticket given by Team Leader Qin, Xia Qingxi turned around and went to the cafeteria to eat.

After dinner, Xia Qingxi thought about walking around to help digest the food.

She has been working in the factory for two weeks. Every day she works from the factory to the cafeteria and then off work. She hasn't looked around the factory yet.

The factory buildings of this era were relatively short and were all uniformly built with two floors. Unlike the factories of later generations, this factory not only had factory buildings, employee cafeterias, rest areas, but also nurseries and many classrooms.

The nurseries were for the convenience of employees to foster their children. At that time, maternity leave was only more than 50 days. As long as the child was one month old, he could be sent to the nursery. There were special staff to help take care of the child, and they could pick him up after work.

The classrooms were set up for various interest classes, which made it convenient for employees to learn knowledge in their spare time and enriched everyone's spare time.

At that time, the great man encouraged the workers to learn more knowledge, so he opened English classes, math classes, painting classes... The lecturers were teachers from various universities.

When the original body first came to the city, she only had primary school education. Later, her father-in-law Lu Baichuan sent her to junior high school and got a junior high school diploma.

Originally, she wanted to go to high school, but she had already applied for a female worker in a textile factory at that time. Wang Mingfang brainwashed her in various ways, saying that if she went to high school, she would still work in the factory in the future, so it would be better to go to work early and get a salary. In the end, the original body listened to her and did not go to high school, but went directly to the factory.

Originally, she could learn in the factory, because the factory offered many courses and also taught high school knowledge. Lu Baichuan also encouraged the original body to take a high school diploma.

But studying took up a lot of time, and I couldn't go home to do housework. Wang Mingfang was naturally unhappy, and she instilled in me the idea that studying was useless. In the end, I didn't study high school courses anymore, so now I only have a junior high school diploma.

In fact, Xia Qingling admired her father-in-law Lu Baichuan's foresight. In that era, a junior high school diploma was considered to be quite valuable. It was because of this certificate that Xia Qingling had the confidence to follow the army.

At that time, the army would arrange jobs for some of the family members who followed the army, but good jobs like school teachers, propaganda department officials, and art troupes all required education. If you didn't have education, you could only be arranged to wash dishes in the cafeteria and do odd jobs.

Although junior high school is not as good as high school, at least the academic qualifications are not too low, and the college entrance examination is coming soon. When she is admitted to university, no one will look down on her academic qualifications.

After walking around the factory area, Xia Qingxi went to the gate again, but still did not see Lu Jingxie. She looked at her watch and saw that it was almost time, so she went directly to the painting classroom on the second floor of the learning area.

When Xia Qingxi went there, the door of the classroom was not open yet, so she stood at the window outside the corridor and looked outside to pass the time.

After a while, an old man in his sixties slowly walked up from downstairs. He stopped at the door of the painting classroom, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

Xia Qingxi, who was standing at the window, heard the sound, turned around, and saw that the door was already open, so she also walked in.

The old man who had just come in was replacing the drawing paper on each drawing board and doing preparations before class. When he saw Xia Qingying come in, he felt that she looked unfamiliar and asked,

"Student, have you walked into the wrong classroom?"

Although she did not know this elegant and gentle old man in front of her, from his clothes and the demeanor he exuded, Xia Qingying guessed that he should be the painting teacher.

"Hello, teacher." Xia Qingying greeted politely first, and then replied:

"I am the portrait model for today's painting class. You can just call me Xiaoxia."

"Oh, okay, Xiaoxia." The old man smiled amiably and began to introduce himself:

"My surname is Guo, and I will teach you sketching today."

"Teacher Guo." Xia Qingying called out cooperatively, and then asked:

"I received a temporary notice and did not prepare any other clothes. Is it okay for me to wear this work clothes?"

"It's okay, I brought clothes, you can just change into them later." Teacher Guo said, and took out a piece of clothing from the bag he brought and handed it to Xia Qingying, and did not forget to explain:

"It's clean, I just washed it."

Xia Qingying took it, and as she expected, it was indeed a plaid shirt.

The reason why the model was given a plaid dress instead of a solid color one was because such a complex plaid could help students learn how to handle lines and the use of light and dark shadows when painting.

This teacher was really careful and responsible. Xia Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little respect for him.

In the modern world, a painting class would cost several hundred yuan, but now the university teachers who came to the factory to teach workers how to paint did not get paid.

Supporting them, giving up their rest time to do this free public welfare teaching, only their enthusiasm and generous teaching, such spirit is undoubtedly admirable.
