Chapter 429 Parental Love (VI)
Xie Zhiqiang didn't know that his father had seen him being stupid.
With no place to vent his energy, he took a broom in his hand and put a newspaper hat on his head, and worked hard to clean every corner of the house.
He put one hand on his waist, wiped the sweat off his face, and saw the dimples that were as clean as new, with a hint of pride on his face.
See, he's very useful at home too.
Since he is unemployed at the moment, he takes care of all the chores at home. Before, an old man from the alley tried to persuade his father to find another one, which made him very angry.
In his heart, there is only one mother.
Can't I survive alone?
Given his father's personality, how could it be a good thing to have one more person competing with him for the fish?
Besides, isn't he here with me?
When he gets married and has children, Comrade Dawei can play with the children and won’t be lonely.
He was just about to try to stir up trouble, but he didn't expect his father to directly refuse him.
He said he couldn't forget his mother and didn't want to look for her anymore, but he didn't need anyone to take care of him in his old age.
To be honest, I am quite happy that his father is so understanding.
He swung the big broom vigorously and cleaned the front and back yards.
A small area in front of the third uncle's house in the front yard was swept clean.
Seeing how diligent he was, Auntie gave him a peach.
As soon as summer vacation comes, Sannozi stays away from home all day and runs around the streets.
I once heard Uncle Three say that three pairs of underwear were not enough for the three bad guys.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's just something I can do."
The two families are close. Auntie San likes Zhiqiang very much. He is handsome and sensible, and much smarter than her son Sannozi.
Although Dawei is the only child of the Xie family, the two grown men take care of him and they live a good life.
Whenever there is something happening at home, these two people will lend a hand.
Unlike Sannozi who asks her for money every now and then,
The third aunt thought of her son who had to go out even in the hot weather, so she asked Xie Zhiqiang.
"By the way, Qiangzi, has Sannuozi been dating someone at school lately?"
"Ah? Auntie, I really didn't know that. Sannozi and I are not in the same class.
You can ask Shengli, he has made it clear."
I'm not really sure about Xie Zhiqiang's situation. His relationship with Sannozi is just average.
In fact, the younger generations of similar age in the compound often play together and have a good relationship with each other, except for San Naozi.
Wu Shengli just happened to come in from outside the yard: "What are you calling me for?"
He started working in the workshop last year and has just been made a full-time employee.
He has a pretty good relationship with San Naozi, and they keep in touch when they meet occasionally.
Xie Zhiqiang walked up to him, put his arm around his neck and asked.
"Sannozi has been going out a lot lately. Is he dating someone?"
Wu Shengli smiled smugly: "You don't even know this? It seems like he's having a hot affair with a female comrade in the class.
As for whether they have confirmed the relationship, Sannozi did not say.
When he greets us with a smile on his face one day, we will know that we have succeeded.”
The third aunt was even more worried when she heard this: "This child didn't even tell us. If we really want to get married, we have to wait until we are 20 years old to get a marriage certificate."
In the spring of 1950, the Marriage Law added an age limit for men and women to form revolutionary partnerships.
The man must be 20 years old or older and the woman must be 18 years old or older.
These days not many people study in school, and going to junior high school means you are considered half an educated person.
The new regulations have slowed down the pace of marriage.
Most people want to find a job first, especially to become a production line workshop worker.
If you wear a factory uniform when going on a blind date, the possibility of success will be greatly increased.
At this time, in people's minds, workers are the best.
Generally speaking, a family has one worker, and one person's salary can support the whole family.
If the whole family were workers, life would be so comfortable that you would never dare to imagine it.
Xie Zhiqiang comforted the third aunt: "Aunt, it's possible that the third aunt wants to wait until there is good news before telling you."
The third aunt felt a little upset: "This child is really troublesome, always thinking of something and doing it."
It's not easy for others to get involved in this matter.
Wu Shengli laughed and dragged people inside.
"Auntie, let's go back to the backyard first. Come on, Qiangzi, I can take the exam next month."
The two of them ran away as fast as if their feet were greased.
"That's great! I'm going to start work soon. Shengli, is the master craftsman who guides you in the workshop strict?"
"It's okay, my master is a nice guy, but Master Jianguo is the one who has a stern face all day long and doesn't like to smile.
If you do something wrong, he won't say a word, but will stare at you with his eyes like bells. Only Jianguo can stand it."
"As long as it's not my dad who takes me."
The training method for workshop workers in the factory is the "old and new" master-apprentice system.
If the father of the family is a worker, he will usually avoid his own children and put them under the name of another master.
The main reason is that my own children don’t know how to control their strength. If we have a good relationship, the children are not afraid of their parents and always go against us.
If the skills you teach go in one ear and out the other, the teaching effect will be poor.
Previously, there was a father and son who became masters in the factory. They started fighting before they had even worked for three days.
The machine was almost broken, and the workshop director was so anxious that he pulled out a small amount of his hair.
Xie Zhiqiang was still fantasizing: "It would be great if I could also meet a great master who wasn't so stern."
Wu Shengli looked strange and blurted out, "Aren't you talking about your dad?"
Xie Dawei, who hurried back, heard his name being called and was confused.
He smiled and replied, "Why are you calling me? Son, what are we having for dinner?"
Xie Zhiqiang, still clutching a peach pit in his hand, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, Dad, I forgot to cook dinner."
Xie Dawei laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are really..."
There was chaos in the compound again.
…
The next day, Xie Zhiqiang ran to the scrap yard with money in his pocket and humming a tune.
As I was passing a corner, I heard a quarrel. Out of curiosity, I ran over with my hands in my pockets to take a look.
He just happened to see San Nuozi, who was beaten black and blue when he raised his head.
What is going on here?
I raised my eyes to look at the people standing behind me with bad intentions. A gang fight?
This is not a good thing, run away quickly, Xie Zhiqiang is preparing to run away.
When San Naozi saw him, he was as frightened as if he had seen meat. His eyes lit up and he cried out in a loud and urgent voice, "Qiangzi, help!"
A shifty-looking man beside him rubbed his hands obscenely: "Boss, is this our accomplice?"
He was caught before he could take two steps and was dragged into the alley.
"No, brother, what are you doing?"
"This guy stole my girlfriend. Do you think he should be beaten? Even a few beatings would be considered light."
After the man said this, his anger surged again and he kicked and kicked violently.
San Naozi was in so much pain that he covered his lower body with his hands and curled up into a ball.
"Help me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I really didn't know Xiaoyu was your partner."
Xie Zhiqiang broke free: "Brother, it's not appropriate to pull me over here."
Even if we take a step back, what does this have to do with him?
