Chapter 347 Fate
That really needs to be saved.
"Are they married?"
"No, but the wedding date has been set."
As if knowing what Yi Chichi was going to ask, Zhang Xiaoqin directly gave the date.
"The wedding will be on October 1st. Why don't you stay and attend the wedding before going back?"
Yi Chi Chi's mouth twitched, "I can't stay, I have to go back to participate in the autumn harvest."
Zhang Xiaoqin's mind flashed back to when she was in Kaoshantun, with the endless crops that seemed to be endless to harvest. She suddenly felt pains all over her bones and her skin was burning with pain.
She shuddered. "Luckily I didn't go to the countryside, otherwise I'd probably be skinned by now."
Before she finished speaking, she remembered something, "I remember you didn't go to the ground."
"That's what you think. All the people in the village, young and old, are here to fight. Even if I don't go to work in the fields, I still have to cut grass for the pigs and guard the drying yard to drive away the birds."
"You're not going to grow medicine or see patients anymore?"
"There are people who are more suitable to be a hygienist than me."
Zhang Xiaoqin understood what she meant immediately. It meant giving the position to someone else.
"I think there's something wrong with your brain."
Giving up such a good position to someone else is not magnanimous, it is stupid.
Yi Chichi is quite open-minded. "Every profession has its own expertise. The right position needs the right person to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
If you don't have that ability, then don't just sit there and take a shit.
She didn't say this, but Zhang Xiaoqin understood what she meant and gave it a thumbs up.
"Don't say anything else, I am really awake."
"It has to be."
As a person, you must not only have self-knowledge, but also stay sober at all times, so that you can be responsible for your own life.
While chatting and laughing, the two arrived at the bus stop.
Fortunately, the tram to the Second Machine Building arrived after waiting for a few minutes. The two got on the tram and Zhang Xiaoqin paid the fare.
Yi Chichi didn't say anything polite to her, like giving her the travel fare.
There are plenty of opportunities, so this little time is not a big deal.
It was still some time before the end of the get off work day, and there were not many people on the street. Gray and white buildings passed by the windows and sped towards the second plane.
It stops at every station along the way, but not many people get on.
Even though transportation fares are not expensive nowadays, not everyone is willing to spend the money on taking a bus.
Time is worthless to people at the bottom of society. Even in the economically developed future, there are people who choose bus No. 11 instead of taking the bus in order to save a few dollars on fare.
Nowadays, people have limited sources of income, so they are even more reluctant to spend money on taking the bus.
Therefore, the car was never full along the way, with only about ten people at most, and by the time we reached the second plane, there were only five people at most.
As soon as Yi Chichi and Zhang Xiaoqin got off the car, the tram with only three people left rushed out with a whoosh.
Zhang Xiaoqin pointed to the gate and big sign of the machine next to her and said with a smile, "I work here, in the publicity department. If you come to see me next time, just ask the security guard to call me."
As she said that, she pulled Yi Chichi to meet the security guard.
The man was in his forties, and his posture and physique showed a distinct military style. As expected, when Zhang Xiaoqin ostentatiously told the guard that she was a military family member, the man, who had been stern and serious, suddenly softened his brows.
His voice became gentler, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, squad leader."
When you meet an old soldier and don't know how to address him, it's always right to call him squad leader.
The person being called will not feel offended, and the person calling will not have to worry about failing to strike the right balance and appearing overly intimate or awkward.
Just like that, Yi Chichi called out "Team Leader" and instantly closed the distance between the two of them.
"Emma, this name is so affectionate. It makes me miss it so much."
The old soldier grinned with a mouthful of big teeth, and the words he said made Yi Chichi feel extremely familiar. This familiar smell of big dregs, after all, turned out to be her old Wen's fellow villager.
"Uncle, are you from Northeast China?!"
Zhang Xiaoqin was even more surprised than Yi Chichi, and she looked at her elder brother with affection in her eyes.
"Yes, how did you know that?"
This is not pretending anymore. His accent has completely changed from the standard Guangzhou accent to a very weird one.
The contrast is simply amazing.
“I spent more than a month in Northeast China.”
Before she finished speaking, she pulled Yi Chichi over and said, "My sister is from the Northeast."
The old soldier said "oh" and said with a smile that it was fate.
It is indeed fate. Today's era is not like the future, where retired or transferred soldiers can stay in different cities at will, but return to their hometowns.
A man from Northeast China left the army and did not return to his hometown but stayed in Guangzhou, and was met by Yi Chichi. Isn't this fate?
Because of their geographical and identity differences, the three of them started chatting animatedly.
It was also at this time that Yi Chichi found out that the man's name was Chang Lusheng, born in 1944. His father was a soldier and his mother was a Women's Federation secretary. The troops were transferred on the day he was born.
Because he was in a hurry to come out, his mother couldn't give birth on the spot, so he was named Lu Sheng.
Little Chang Lusheng grew up with the army, but it’s a good thing that he had a bad fate.
The bad thing is that his father died when he was three years old, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, his mother died while saving a child who fell into the water.
So, little Chang Lusheng became an orphan.
But he is lucky because his mother's colleagues and their families are also his father's comrades-in-arms.
In this way, little Chang Lusheng grew up under the care of his uncles, aunts and uncles, but his academic performance was not good, and because of his strong physique, he joined the army at the age of 15.
When he was 22 years old, he got a girlfriend, the daughter of his leader.
Then the two young people formed a small family, and at the age of 32, Chang Lusheng changed his career.
Work was assigned.
Because his ancestral home was in Northeast China, his job was assigned to Northeast China according to policy, but his wife was a capable person, so he was transferred to Guangzhou.
Chang Lusheng was in love with his wife and was unwilling to live apart from her, so he ran away with her.
But he was unfamiliar with the place and had no connections, so there was no chance of getting into the Public Security Bureau. There were many soldiers in Yangcheng waiting for demobilization and job assignment, and with everyone trying to find a job, he became an unemployed vagrant.
At this time, his wife took action and told his situation to the leader. The leader slapped his thigh and said that the security department was short of staff.
Chang Lusheng has experience in both military service and public security work, so it is perfect for him to be a team leader in the security department.
So, the unemployed man got a job again because of his wife.
After learning about his experience, Zhang Xiaoqin was very puzzled and asked, "Uncle, you are the team leader, why are you here to guard the gate?"
"I don't come to see the gate every day."
Chang Lusheng straightened his chest and said in a loud voice, "Besides, guarding the gate is the job of our security department."
That's true, guarding the gate is also very important.
We can’t let people come in and out as they please. It would be bad if bad people happened to cause losses or casualties to the factory.
"Uncle, you are awesome!"
She gave a thumbs up and praised him so much that even an ordinary person would be flattered.
Yi Chichi felt that it was quite joyful for these two talkative people, one from China and one from youth, to get together.
