Qiu Yuling had never encountered such a shrew before. She was afraid that they would not be able to fight, so she chased her away a few steps.
Hey, I didn't expect Ma Hui to jump so high and curse so wildly, and then she ran back to her own home. Qiu Yuling was dumbfounded. How could she be so rude? If she couldn't beat him, she could scold him?
Seeing her surprise, Fan Caiye smoothed the hair on his temples and straightened his jacket, "It's okay, Xiao Qiu, you don't have to thank me. I scolded her for doing what I wanted to do because I couldn't stand her bullying the newcomer.
My last name is Fan, which means colorful leaves. You call me Aunt Fan. You haven't seen me. I work in Canteen No. 2. Come to my house when you are free.
Well, it’s cold, I’ll go in first. By the way, don’t be afraid of the hammer, take good care of your things. If you have any problems, just shout, and Auntie will come out as soon as she hears you…”
The aunt's mouth was like a loaded gun, chattering non-stop. Before Qiu Yuling could say a few words, she entered the house.
She locked the wooden door and before entering, she glanced at the pile of charcoal in the corner. She remembered the words that told her to keep an eye on her things, and for some unknown reason she carried the charcoal into the house.
But when I got in, I saw that the place was so small that I had no place to step.
If he had agreed to his second brother's request at that time, he would have built a charcoal house. It doesn't need to be big, one square meter is enough, with a door and a lock, and he can store charcoal in winter and firewood in summer. He can also put a broom and dustpan there, and the small yard will not be messy.
"Oh, what a mistake!" At that time, I didn't think that the one next to it was the best.
After much thought, I decided to reclaim the farm space first, put the things in a bag, and place them under the bed to hide them from others.
Because her single dormitory was the result of her master's efforts and was based on seniority, she didn't get it so soon. So when there was no vacancy in the new area, she filled one in the old area.
The old district was full of people with families. As soon as they got off work, she could hear the clanging of pots and pans, as well as the shouting of adults and children. In the past, she would hide away to work and not notice it, but now that she had some free time, she felt it was particularly noisy.
In these busy days, the end of the year soon arrived and the entire department, from top to bottom, was busy.
They had to go deep into factories, commune brigades, and various government agencies, and collect data on various aspects of production, economy, and population through field visits, investigations, and other methods.
Everyone was so busy their hairlines were receding when a young official from the Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly came over and said, "Comrades, put aside your work. This afternoon, all employees will gather in the open space outside the Anti-Corruption Office to participate in a criticism meeting on Wang Chengji."
Guo Yue's head was buzzing. She grabbed a colleague beside her and asked, "Is that Director Wang from the Human Resources Department?"
The colleague who was caught looked nervously at the Discipline Inspection Commission officer at the door and said, "Don't talk nonsense. He is a bad element now. There is no such thing as Director Wang or Director Miao."
Guo Yue calmed herself down, followed the crowd, and watched Wang Chengji on the stage read his confession.
He just knelt on the stage, his clothes wrinkled and his face dejected. He no longer had the high spirits that he had forced himself to have a few days ago.
Qiu Yuling listened to him reading out his crimes one by one, such as accepting gifts of grain and oil from a chef in the kitchen and arranging his sister-in-law to be a kitchen helper.
For example, he accepted a sewing machine ticket from a foreign factory and sent that person's son to a farm under his jurisdiction.
For example, he forced a young female colleague from the finance department.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qiu Yuling, as if she was the female finance comrade who sold her body and got the advantage.
Guo Yue carefully hid in the crowd, fearing that others would notice her.
Then, the biggest bombshell broke out. He actually had a mistress outside and his son was old enough to help with the housework.
There was an uproar below, which was even more shocking than the one just mentioned about forcing a young lesbian.
Soon, the cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission took over the conversation and said, "Some of the above-mentioned people are victims, while others have benefited from it and damaged the atmosphere of clean government. We will talk to you one by one to verify this.
We will never let any bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse any good person..."
Fortunately, Qiu Yuling had just arrived and the other party was only thinking about it in his mind and had not taken any actual action, so she was not on the list of confessions.
Guo Yue was called away during work, and everyone immediately realized that the female comrade was Guo Yue.
This kind of thing protects everyone's privacy on the surface, but in private there is no secret at all. If you pull out the radish, the mud will be revealed, and it will soon be matched with the confession.
Qiu Yuling didn't dare to pity others at this moment. She wanted to expose the matter as soon as possible and prove her innocence, so as to avoid being gossiped about behind her back.
However, this time was very typical. Until New Year's Eve, all employees were organized to watch Wang Chengji's public execution at meetings of all sizes every day.
The people, who had been a little relaxed, hunched their heads again in this atmosphere. Everyone in Qiu Yuling's department was unprecedentedly harmonious.
She spread out the letter paper and spent the New Year with her family members using words.
"...We could have spent a wonderful Spring Festival together, just like last year/the year before last/the year before last (depending on the recipient, she made some adjustments to her recollection), or even happier than that time.
But due to work arrangements, we cannot meet. I only hope that next time, we can be together as a family and enjoy this joy twice as much.
Everything is going well here. During the Spring Festival, Wushi provided five taels of meat to each person, and the bureau also distributed an extra pound, totaling one pound and a half. I also received two taels of soybean oil, one pound of soybean sprouts, five pounds of sweet potatoes, and two pounds of vermicelli. What's rare is that I got a frozen hairtail this year.
I plan to fry or pan-fry them. Since it's for one person, I can put more meat in them...
Finally, I attach a short poem I wrote, "Thinking of My Family," with my thoughts and blessings:
The mountains are full of thoughts, and the stars are far away.
The harsh winter is over and spring is coming, and the warm years are coming and bringing happiness to your family.
I wish you good luck in autumn and happiness in winter.
Yuling, come on!
There are several copies, and even if the people are not there, the voices are there, not only her parents and brothers, but also her fourth aunt and others.
When I was packing the letters, I specifically looked at the memories of different years to make sure I didn't put them in the wrong ones.
After giving the letter to the postman, she began to celebrate the first New Year that belonged to her alone.
Chinese people are obsessed with the Spring Festival. Qiu Yuling prepares new clothes, various kinds of food, fireworks and firecrackers for herself to the best of her ability.
As for firecrackers, she thought it was enough to just hear the noise from the unit, but everything else was essential.
This time, I didn't ask Zhuzhu to do it for me. Whether it was frying meatballs, making fermented rice wine, frying hairtail fish, or making fried cakes and biscuits... she did everything by herself.
Xie Chunrong called her once, and Sun Tianxia also called her once, but she refused both times.
