Not to mention their Xinghuali Hutong, let alone the machinery factory, even the whole city was well-known.
After all, it has been so many years since the liberation, more than 20 years, and it is surprising that such old procures from before the founding of the People's Republic of China are still around.
The public security comrades did not hide anything. Firstly, there was nothing worth hiding in this matter. Secondly, they wanted to publicize the matter. There was no guarantee that someone else would think of something extraordinary and expose it.
Because of this, the news spread immediately.
Mingmei has been home for three days and can't keep up with the gossip. The first thing she does when she gets home is to join the gossip group of the old ladies, like a wild animal running around in a melon field. She is even more stunned by Aunt Su's background.
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Although she doesn't look weak, she actually does that.
Not to mention Mingmei, even her grandfather, Uncle Lan, came out with a bowl of noodles to eat. He really couldn't miss a single thing. Uncle Lan felt that he had been constantly challenging his own knowledge throughout his life. There were always new shocks.
If we talk about the people who regretted the most in the melon field, it was Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun only hated himself for not being at home at that time and why he had to stay in the bathhouse for so long. He did not witness the moment when the gold bars were dug out. But this did not stop him from talking. He stood in the yard, almost in the center, and his talking was quite afterthought.
"I've long felt that Aunt Su wasn't a serious person. She was very hypocritical in her actions, and I felt something was wrong. I didn't expect that I was right. She is indeed not a simple person."
"Are you bragging? If you had seen it a long time ago, why didn't you say it?" Yang Lixin interrupted.
Zhou Qun sounded confident and said, "I noticed something was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. If I had known she was such a person, I would have exposed her. People like her are mixed up in the ranks of the people. They are a big rat shit. That won't do."
"That's true. In fact, I also think she is frivolous in her daily life. I didn't expect that."
"This person is really rich. You said she is rich but she plays the victim all day long. What kind of person is she?"
"Whether they are rich or poor has nothing to do with us. I think the one we hate the most is Wang Xiangxiu. She got nothing, and everything was confiscated..."
"How come it doesn't matter? I have a lot of connections. She is really heartless. She even borrowed corn flour from me before. I don't know if Wang Xiangxiu can pay it back..."
"Ah, I borrowed corn flour from you. I don't know how many times you have borrowed oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from me..."
Everyone was talking about it, and almost every family had borrowed something. Zhao Guihua thought for a moment and said, "I didn't borrow anything this year. I borrowed corn flour twice last year, but I didn't pay it back once... I saw that she was having a hard time, and I was embarrassed to ask for it back. If I had known she would be like this, I really wouldn't have lent it to her. This year I was smart and didn't lend it to her, so I didn't make any more losses. But I also lost money before!"
"Who said it wasn't? Hey, no, you said if we report this to the authorities, can his family return these small items to us?"
Zhao Guihua: "Who knows? I don't think it's possible. There aren't many things, and they're not very valuable. Besides, this person has gone to jail. Wang Xiangxiu hates her so much that she will definitely not take responsibility."
"It's not like she didn't eat."
Zhao Guihua smiled: "She ate it, but we can't push her too hard. Look at the state of her family now. Didn't you see that the police didn't try to stop her?"
"Oh, this is really true. How could a good life turn out like this? In fact, I think Su Pandi is the most miserable. She has been supporting the family since she was a child and has always been the mainstay of their family. She is more capable of supporting the family than her brother. In the end, she was really screwed by my mother. This time, she ended up with a family separation. Hmm, can I use this word here? You said she has nothing, and she has such a bad reputation and is in jail. I don't know how many years she will be sentenced. She is really wronged."
"I don't know, Su Pandi, but Aunt Su will definitely not be able to come out this time."
"Don't mention Aunt Su, her name is Gou Lanxiang. I guess, she says all day long that she wants to stay for the Su family, so she just calls her Aunt Su. Maybe she just doesn't want to say her real name. No matter how nice she says it, she's pretending to be a good person, loyal, asking for a house and a job in front of the factory leaders, maybe she just doesn't want to reveal her real name. Think about it, her surname is so special. What if she is recognized by accident? She will be working at that time." Zhao Guihua's analysis was very logical.
Aunt Wang nodded when she heard it. "Yes, at that time, Old Su had passed away and the children were still young, so they all had to go to the factory to take over. If they had called her by her name, they might have been unlucky to be recognized. But she called herself Aunt Su, so maybe fewer people would associate her with her. Haven't you seen that she has not failed in the past few decades?"
"Then she really kills two birds with one stone."
Aunt Zhou: "Damn it, I used to learn from her, but it turns out I was cheated by her."
Zhou Lishi, she should actually be called Aunt Li, it was because of Aunt Su's various actions, and Zhou Lishi was also a family member of the accident, so she rushed to prove herself, but now she was fooled.
Zhou Li: "I really am..."
Aunt Wang said, "Please don't change your name. We have called you Aunt Zhou all our lives. We won't be used to it if you change it."
Aunt Zhou: "...What's going on? She is such a heartless old lady."
"This is not going to end well for her."
Everyone was discussing this topic at once, and at this time, Bai Fendou came out weakly. He hadn't slept for three days since the old man Bai died unexpectedly. He had fainted from crying countless times, and he seemed to be hanging on for his last breath.
As soon as he came back from the burial, he collapsed.
Fortunately, it was just excessive sleepiness, not some kind of illness. Bai Fendou slept for a long time, and he didn't even know that the public security comrades came to make a fuss. It was also at this time that he heard about Aunt Su's incident.
He was extremely shocked: "What does she do?"
"To be precise, he is the boss."
Bai Fendou said angrily, "Damn it, I must let her eat peanuts, otherwise I will let my dad down."
Everyone fell silent. Aunt Wang calmed down and said, "I know you may not be able to listen to me, but fight, your father is gone, and you are not a child anymore. I believe your parents know about this, and they just want you to be well. The law will punish bad people. You should live a good life, so that they won't worry about you, don't you think?"
Bai Fendou fell silent for a long time, then nodded silently.
At this time, he suddenly looked at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "When will our factory hold a blind date meeting?"
The topic changed so suddenly that I almost sprained my back.
Zhuang Zhixi readily agreed: "At the end of the month, before the National Day."
Bai Fendou nodded: "Then I will sign up. My father has always hoped that I can start a family. I won't let him down."
Zhuang Zhixi: "The factory should start registration soon. I'll let you know when the time comes."
Bai Fendou: "Okay."
Everyone had different looks. In everyone's opinion, how could Bai Fendou find a wife? He couldn't do it. Whether he found an older girl or a younger widow, it was the same as being a widow. His problem was actually quite difficult to handle.
After all, people nowadays place great emphasis on passing on the family line.
If you don't have children, people will point fingers at you and call you a family extinct.
If Bai Fendou is not good enough, then the woman will suffer a great loss. However, no one said anything bad to provoke Bai Fendou at this time. This man cannot be provoked now. Fortunately, except for Bai Fendou's failure, his other conditions are all good. Some things are very bad when you think about them, but they are also the truth.
That is, it is better for the old man to die than to lie at home and struggle against the old man.
At least Bai Fendou no longer has this burden.
But that's not the case. No one thinks about the death of a loved one, even Bai Fendou is no exception.
"Bai Fendou, actually you are in the capital, and knows your situation. It's not easy to find someone, why don't you apply for aid. Doesn't our factory have a one-to-one support relationship with Lizhou's machinery factory? They are expanding their production and construction, and they want to find skilled workers to help with the construction. Although you are not from the workshop, given your current situation, go find the leader, and I think the leader will help you arrange it." The man from the Sui family spoke.
He said, "Xiao Zhang, have you signed up for the construction assistance?"
Xiao Zhang is a resident of the backyard. His house is the first one to enter the backyard, right next to Uncle Lan's house. His house is the same as Bai Fendou's, with two rooms. There are six people in the family, including his parents and two children.
This time, he signed up to go to Lizhou.
When Xiao Zhang was called, he simply said, "Yes, I have already signed up, and now the formalities are almost complete. Our whole family will go."
"Ah, you're leaving now? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Yes, you go to Lizhou, is that okay? Our Sijiu City is the capital after all. Lizhou... this is a small place that no one has ever heard of. Is it okay for you to go there?"
Xiao Zhang said, "Why not? I am a level 4 worker now, and if I am transferred there, I will automatically be promoted to level 5. In addition, the aid will provide a quota for one of my children to be sent to the countryside. My eldest daughter will have to go to the countryside in two or three years. Our whole family will go to Lizhou, and my eldest daughter won't have to go to the countryside."
"Ah, this is good."
Don’t be fooled by what they say about responding to the call to build the countryside. But it was okay to “fool around” like this earlier, but now no one really believes this. No one is willing to go to the countryside. Everyone knows how hard it is to go to the countryside, especially for girls who have grown up in the city. Although they are not spoiled, they can’t do farm work. Besides, it’s not so reassuring for a beautiful girl to go to the countryside. Of course there are many good people, but there are also bad people. There are bad people in every group. It’s not right for a father to think about a girl leaving her hometown on her own. It’s okay if there was no opportunity before, but now there is this opportunity. How can I not seize it? "The factory will arrange a job quota for children of appropriate age. My daughter is still a little short of age and cannot directly enter the factory as a worker, but this quota is there. I will let my wife go to work, and then my daughter can take over in three years. Although Lizhou is indeed incomparable to the four-nine city, it is still a small city after all. It is not a rural area, and my family has a large population, so the housing area allocated can be much larger than the current one. So this is very suitable."
Everyone has a scale in his heart, and Xiao Zhang also has one.
He said: "My family is not originally from the city of Beijing. My parents came here to escape famine. It doesn't matter if we leave now."
"Hey, don't say that. Xiao Zhang is right. This aid project actually has many benefits."
"Then you go?"
"I won't go. There are many benefits, but my family is rooted here. I can't leave my hometown. Besides, my children are still young, so I can't afford it. But when they grow up in a few years, they may have to go to the countryside. I guess I have to consider this. My son is a boy, but I don't want him to go to the countryside. Look at them like this, what can they do in the countryside? If they go, they will only cause trouble for the farmers."
"Who says it's not?"
No one is willing to go to the countryside, but they have to, so they can only try their best to seize every opportunity.
Xiao Zhang: "It definitely depends on your family's situation. You can see the situation in my family. The children are growing up a little bit, but we only have two rooms, which is not enough for them to live in. After we went there, they promised us at least three rooms. This way my daughter and son won't have to live with my husband and me. It's not convenient to draw a curtain here. When the time comes, we will have one room for my husband and me, one for my parents, and I will separate the other room. Although it may be small, the two children will each have their own room."
"You are really thinking about the children."
"That's for sure."
Parents these days are like candles, willing to burn for their children selflessly. There are some who are particularly selfish and only want to suck blood, but they are basically for daughters. As for sons, they are still very sincere.
It makes people angry, but that’s the social environment.
Everyone was discussing this, and suddenly, Aunt Zhou spoke up: "If you move away, what will you do with your house here?"
Only then did everyone remember that Aunt Zhou had been taken to the security department for robbing Uncle Lan's house.
It turns out that this person attaches great importance to the house.
Xiao Zhang: "I didn't buy this house myself, and I don't have a property certificate. It was originally allocated by the factory. I was transferred and reallocated, so the house naturally has to be returned to the factory. The factory will arrange for new people to live in it."
If Aunt Zhou wanted to take it, there was no need to even think about it.
Aunt Zhou muttered: "When we have children, we will also need a house."
To be honest, the Su family's house is the most spacious in their compound, and now that Aunt Su has moved in, their house is even more spacious. Aunt Zhou's house is also spacious now, but she always thinks about having children, and the children will need a room when they grow up. One room is not enough after getting married and having children, right?
Wow, this guy thinks long term.
Xiao Zhang: "We don't know about that, but there are many people waiting for resettlement housing in our factory, so we will definitely be able to move in soon."
Aunt Zhou sighed and didn't dare to say anything.
She accepted the iron fist of justice and became much more honest. In addition, someone in their compound had been arrested and died recently, so they were somewhat touched. Aunt Zhou: "This is how it is for my family first. If we have children in the future, we will definitely find a way."
"Aunt Zhou, aren't you afraid of having a daughter? If Jiang Lu gives birth to a daughter, you won't have to worry."
Aunt Zhou: "Give birth to a daughter and we'll recruit a son-in-law!"
The topic has gone off the topic completely, but some people still say: "Bai Fendou, it's true. It would be good if you went to Lizhou. At least no one would know..."
It’s not like now, if you walk out of the alley and shout “Bai Fen Dou”, out of a hundred people you meet, three hundred of them will recognize you.
Many people came over upon hearing the name.
But Bai Fendou shook his head and said, "I won't go. My ancestors have lived in the city for generations. I grew up here since I was a child. If I leave, I will definitely not be used to it. Besides, what if I go to another place? It's not like I'm going there by myself. Who knows? Someone might say something about me. Everyone will know about it."
He said firmly: "I won't leave. I have two rooms here and no one else is at home. If I go to another place, I may not be able to get more rooms. I won't go. Besides, I believe there are always people who don't care about that matter."
He is a thick-skinned person and doesn't care. He speaks very frankly.
Everyone was speechless.
"Then Wang Xiangxiu..."
Bai Fendou was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He said, "What Wang Xiangxiu? She has nothing to do with me. Not slapping her in the face when we met was already my last act of mercy. If I didn't think she was also cheated by someone, I would definitely not let her family go."
Bai Fendou was furious.
"I have nothing to do with her. I have never laid a finger on her before, and I will never have anything to do with her in the future."
It wasn't entirely because he saw Wang Xiangxiu as a victim of Aunt Su. In fact, it was also because he had seen the police more often in the past few days and was somewhat afraid of them. So, he let it go and didn't bother with Wang Xiangxiu.
After all, Wang Xiangxiu was also tricked.
He said, "Don't bring us together. She doesn't want fame, but I do. Besides, Jin Lai and the other two are Aunt Su's grandchildren. Just for this reason, I can't possibly like them."
If he and Wang Xiangxiu were to get together, they would have to raise the child together. Although he wanted to find a widow to take care of the child, he would definitely not raise the child of his enemy.
He said seriously: "Whoever says this, don't blame me for breaking the glass."
"Look at you, we were just talking casually."
"that is."
As everyone was talking, they turned around and saw Wang Xiangxiu coming back.
She stood at the door with her son, not knowing how long they had been listening. But no one spoke to her. Wang Xiangxiu walked in with a tense look on her face. The cement floor outside his window had been scraped open. The glass in his house had also been smashed by Yuan Jun.
It can be said that his house was a mess. Wang Xiangxiu sighed. Without saying anything to anyone, she went home and started to clean up. Seeing that it was getting late and it was completely dark, everyone went home one by one.
Mingmei hadn't been home for a few days. She came into the room, fell on my bed, and said, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse."
Zhuang Zhixi came forward and said with a smile, "Our family is still the best, right?"
Mingmei: "My parents' house is good, but no matter how good it is, I still prefer to relax on my own."
Her mother controls her even more severely than her mother-in-law. She is indeed her biological mother.
Mingmei muttered, then sat up again and said, "What else happened recently? Tell me more?"
Zhuang Zhixi found it funny to see her eyes bright and eager to eat melons. He came forward and joked, "Our courtyard is the most harmonious one. What else could go wrong? There must be nothing wrong."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Who would believe that?"
Zhuang Zhixi said righteously: "Why don't you believe it?"
Mingmei said coquettishly: "If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it."
She acted coquettishly and said, "Oh, by the way, you should go to my mother's house tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Hmm?”
He looked at his wife in confusion, waiting for what to come.
Mingmei: "My dad is back from a trip and brought us a box of apples. Go and bring it to me tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhixi was very surprised, then he smiled and exclaimed: "My father-in-law is really capable."
Mingmei remained calm and said, "Of course, he's my dad. My dad is very capable and loves me very much."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded and said, "Because Mingmei is very good."
Mingmei said, "It's not because I'm so good. Even if I'm not good, my father still loves me. He's my biological father, just like Brother Xiao Zhang. You see, he would rather be transferred to a strange city for his daughter."
Although I don’t know if it’s right or not, it’s definitely the result after their family weighed the pros and cons.
After careful consideration, this is the best option for their family.
Mingmei lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, saying, "I wonder who will move in after they move out. I hope it's someone who's easy to get along with. If not..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Once this person entered our courtyard, there was no such thing as getting along well with him or not. Just the people in our courtyard, just the atmosphere, is there anything else to say? The most difficult people to get along with are the people in our courtyard. How dare you complain about people outside the courtyard being difficult to get along with?"
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "It's true. Most people really can't adapt to it."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed.
"Only others adapt to the compound, but not all the people in the compound adapt to one person."
Mingmei shrugged.
I have to say, one big event is enough to affect the atmosphere of the compound.
It's been like this recently. Because things happen so frequently, everyone has become more calm.
In the following days, nothing happened in their compound, but even though nothing happened, there was a lot of gossip, and even people in the factory were talking about it.
Although the old man had passed away, the topic was not about him. The focus of everyone's discussion was still Aunt Su and Gou Lanxiang. As the days passed, more gossip came in.
It also includes various things about Aunt Su. Although everyone knows that her real name is not this, we are really used to calling her that.
I don't know if the gossip is accurate, but there are a lot of topics to talk about.
For example, some people say that Aunt Su was mentioned by some people in the early years just after the liberation. At that time, some women engaged in prostitution were organized to become good women, and someone said that they were sold to that kind of place to live.
The madam's daughter was called "A Xiang".
Although this person is young, she is quite vicious. She whips people today and says nice things to appease them tomorrow. She is a very scheming girl. Later it was said that she also received customers, but unlike them who were manipulated by others, she still had a choice.
Later, when their "mother" got into trouble, Ah Xiang donated money and ran away.
As for whether her mother is dead or alive, she really doesn't care.
Some people also mentioned the "Mother Gou" of that year. Although she died long before the liberation, she was still somewhat famous, but not a good one. She was known for forcing innocent women into prostitution. Many girls fell into the hands of these people and were half dead. Even her daughter, who was not very old at the time, was insidious, vicious and good at seducing people. This daughter was Aunt Su Gou Lanxiang.
These rumors are very popular, but there is no way to verify them. After all, this happened a long time ago. But it doesn't stop people from gossiping about them.
Many people went to ask Wang Xiangxiu, but they were all scolded away.
Wang Xiangxiu has been going to work at the factory, taking care of her children at the hospital, and going home. But there is good news in her family. Her second son Tonglai is out of danger.
This is probably one of the few good things that happened to his family.
Wang Xiangxiu was in a hurry every day, and she didn't even bother to go to the bathroom to take a shower and wipe her body. She was in a hurry every day, and in a short time, she lost weight. People in the hospital who didn't work in the machinery factory rarely saw her.
She goes out early and comes back late every day.
Tonglai, on the other hand, used to run around with his brothers, but now he comes back alone after kindergarten, and sits on a bench at the door.
As for the other people in the compound, their lives were pretty normal. No one had been making trouble recently, and they were all living a quiet life. The only one who was still a little active was Zhou Qun, who was gossiping about his wife everywhere.
Because of this, Aunt Wang had a special talk with Zhou Qun. Of course, she didn't mean to stop Zhou Qun from talking, because she couldn't control that! Instead, she discussed with Zhou Qun that when the election for the compound was held at the end of the year, Zhou Qun should be the manager of the compound. After all, he was happy to go from one house to another, so wasn't that just right?
Zhou Qun agreed to consider it.
Aunt Wang was overjoyed.
Zhou Qun needs to consider it, but his mind is not here right now. He is mainly focused on the factory.
Recently, the factory held a blind date meeting, and Zhou Qun had something to say again. The main topic revolved around their old acquaintance Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou really signed up. Not to mention, at first glance, Bai Fendou's conditions are pretty good.
If you don't know the ins and outs of this, it's easy to be fooled.
This is really thanks to the fact that there are so many gossips and rumors nowadays. There is no one in the entire city who doesn't know Bai Fendou. When this name is mentioned, almost everyone knows him. Although this is not good for Bai Fendou, it does rule out the possibility that Bai Fendou is "marriage fraud."
Everyone knows his actual situation, so there is no such thing as fooling a wife.
But even without this message, Bai Fendou insisted that he would not cheat anyone. He was an upright man, and fooling women was nothing. For the blind date, Bai Fendou even borrowed a piece of clothing from Zhuang Laonian.
Yes, you read that right, it's Zhuang Laonian.
Who made Zhuang Laonian make a short-sleeved Dacron top this summer? Even Zhuang Zhiyuan and Zhuang Zhixi didn't have one. Bai Fendou had already made an appointment with Zhuang Laonian and was ready to borrow his clothes.
This situation is not an isolated case. For example, several people have come to borrow Zhuang Laonian's clothes. None of them acted quickly as Bai Fendou did.
Borrowing a nice piece of clothing for a blind date is a basic practice and is not uncommon. This is not so bad in the city, but more common in the countryside. It's because of the scarcity of supplies and everyone is poor.
The blind date conference was held at the Cultural Palace.
As a member of the Propaganda Department, Zhuang Zhixi went to work early in the morning. There were other people working with him, including the labor union, the factory office, and the Women's Federation. However, in addition to these joint departments, there were also people who came to help individually.
For example - Zhou Qun.
Zhou Qun offered to help on his own initiative, and of course he had a reason. He said that his wife was pregnant, an older woman, and it was her first child, so she was very careful. There were so many people here, it would be bad if there was a bump or a collision.
Therefore, he still hoped that his wife would stay in the factory, and he came here to help on behalf of his wife. For this purpose, he specially greeted the people in his department. He also passed around a circle of cigarettes.
As for this matter, it's a bit hard to say what to do.
Because, even if Zhou Qun didn't say that, their Women's Federation would not let Jiang Lu come. There is still some human touch.
Again, it's a good thing this guy is dead.
So there's really nothing to worry about.
Zhuang Zhixi was not polite and directly ordered Zhou Qun to do something. He asked him to help, so why not?
He shouted: "Brother Qun, come and help post the list. It contains specific personal information."
Zhou Qun: “Here I come.”
He hurried over to help, and the work here was done very meticulously.
He helped to put up several big red paper lists and looked at them carefully. Well, there were three background introductions of gay men and three of lesbians.
Gay men are mainly concentrated in machinery factories, while lesbians are mainly primary school teachers and bus station staff, mostly ticket sellers.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no lesbians in the machinery factory. There are some, for example, Tao Yuye, who works in the machinery factory's medical office, is the first lesbian. Zhou Qun reads them out: "Number one, Tao Yuye, a temporary worker in the machinery factory's medical office, 20 years old, graduated from a medical school, has an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. to work in the countryside. Both parents are still alive, the father is an employee of the food factory, and the mother is a temporary worker in the food factory.”
Zhou Qun touched his chin and said, "Tao Yuye looks quite arrogant, but her conditions are not particularly good."
In fact, this is considered good, but Zhou Qun can say this. After all, Jiang Lu's conditions are not comparable to ordinary people. He thinks it is not surprising that other people's conditions are average. But if you think about it carefully, what Zhou Qun said makes some sense.
Apart from her actual condition, Tao Yuye's conditions are not particularly good.
After all, she was a temporary worker.
Nowadays, there is a world of difference between regular workers and temporary workers.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't discuss it with Zhou Qun. He had a good relationship with Doctor Wang in the medical office. Tao Yuye was Doctor Wang's niece, so Zhuang Zhixi didn't gossip too much. He turned around and put melon seeds on the table, and put a few fruits in the main position in the middle.
But don't think that this is for everyone to eat. There are so many people, and there are so few things. It doesn't look like it's for people to eat. It's just for appearance. If someone doesn't have the eyes to take it, he will be laughed at.
This is not a place to be cheap.
"What time does this place start?"
"In an hour."
"Then let's speed it up."
In addition to these, everyone also prepared balloons, flowers, and some ribbons. Zhuang Zhixi and other gentlemen were the main workers and took the lead in decorating the venue. You know, there were reporters at the scene to take pictures.
If it is not beautifully arranged, the report will not be beautiful.
There is strength in numbers, and the scene was quickly decorated to be very warm.
Zhuang Zhixi sighed: "Why didn't I think of decorating like this when I got married?"
"Come on, how can you get so many things?" Sister Cui asked jokingly.
Zhuang Zhixi: “That can’t be possible.”
If you think about it this way, there is no regret. Because they can't do it.
Many things can only be obtained by applying for them through formal units, and other people cannot get them at all.
Zhuang Zhixi looked around and said, "Where's Xiao Xu? Why is he gone?"
Sister Cui: "He disappeared as soon as he arrived. I don't know where he went to sleep and be lazy. He used to be the best in everything, but now he looks so decadent. He looks like he doesn't get enough sleep every day. I don't know why such a good young man looks like he has been drained of energy. He is a single man, but he looks more like a married man than you, who has a wife."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Since you said that, I don't look like I have a wife. I always talk about my wife."
Sister Cui rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's enough. I know you two love each other. You don't have to show off."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "How can telling the truth be considered showing off?"
Old Huang heard what they were saying and said, "Xiao Xu started to sweat as soon as he entered the venue, as if he had seen a ghost. I saw that he was a little dizzy, so I asked him to go out and calm down."
Zhuang Zhixi looked around and said, "Isn't this place nice? This person is really weird."
Sister Cui: "Are you trying to avoid work?"
"Who knows, right?"
Everyone was talking about it, and at this time, Xiao Xu was sitting against the wall outside the Cultural Palace, looking up at the sky with melancholy. He didn't want to see Zhou Qun! When he saw Zhou Qun, he thought of Jiang Lu, and when he thought of Jiang Lu, his legs felt weak.
This woman is really like a wolf and a tiger.
Anyway, this person has already caused him psychological trauma.
Woohoo, I don’t want to see Zhou Qun.
Besides this, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhou Qun, after all, he slept with someone else's wife. He felt a little secretly happy, a little embarrassed, and a little overwhelmed. However, he could understand why Zhou Qun was attracted to men and even wanted to make a move on Bai Fendou. He probably couldn't stand Jiang Lu asking for too much.
Tired of women.
Woo woo woo.
It's miserable anyway.
I don’t want to see Zhou Qun, I don’t want to see Jiang Lu.
He was still complaining to himself when he saw a large group of people coming. He looked at the time again and it was almost time.
He quickly stood up, went into the room first, and said, "Someone is coming."
Fortunately, they arrived early and the venue was already set up.
Zhuang Zhixi and his friends who came to work early were also singles and those who were attending a blind date meeting, but most of the singles wore badges and could be identified at a glance. At such a moment, married young men like Zhuang Zhixi quickly found a corner, and he didn't need to show off at this time.
All the staff stood on both sides of the venue. At this time, the leader entered first. Zhuang Zhixi felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and went out silently. The temperature difference between morning and evening was very large. He opened the window for a while at night, and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
He went to the bathroom, and when he came in, he saw Bai Fendou was there too. He was breathing in and out nervously, and cheered himself up loudly: "Bai Fendou, you can find a wife!"
Zhuang Zhixi stumbled in shock when he entered the room, and said speechlessly, "Hey, Comrade Bai Fendou, what are you doing in the toilet? Hurry over, it has already started."
Bai Fendou: "I know, I can do it! I'm good at it!"
He encouraged himself again and walked out with big strides.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
It's just outrageous.
Bai Fendou was wearing his father's shirt, but he didn't know whose pants he borrowed. When he came out of the toilet and was about to go to the venue, he saw a few sneaky boys, carrying baskets and dodging.
Well, there are always people who risk their lives to make money.
This blind date meeting was quite big. Many people knew that with so many young men and women gathering together, there would always be people who were attracted to each other. If they went out to see a movie or something, they would inevitably see these young men carrying baskets.
How can you not buy some snacks when you are dating? This is a very well thought out thing, and the idea is right, you can really make money. But it is a bit dangerous. Otherwise, people say that these people are brave enough to make money without caring about their lives. Maybe Zhuang Zhixi watched them for a long time, and a boy came over immediately: "Big pot, do you want fried peanuts? They are so delicious."
He leaned over to take a look and saw that it looked cooked to perfection. Zhuang Zhixi: "Give me some."
He bought a pound, wrapped it in a paper bag, and stuffed it directly into his shoulder bag.
"Be careful, don't let anyone catch you."
Zhuang Zhixi gave a reminder.
The young man had a good start and was very happy. He said, "Big Pot, I can run fast. Besides, who is so ignorant today to come here to arrest people? It's so annoying. The speculation office will definitely not come to offend people. Hehe."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his thumb and gestured.
Even though he is older than others, he is not as comfortable and at ease as others.
Zhuang Zhixi went back with his bag on his back. It made sense. He usually didn't carry a bag when he went to work. Today, he had to set up the venue, so it was convenient to have a bag. He carried a bag just now. You said he would use it. Zhuang Zhixi peeled a fried peanut and ate it. He nodded: "It smells good."
The vendor was overjoyed and said proudly, "Our cooking is unique, so you can eat it without worry."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and returned to the meeting place. The leader was still speaking at this time. Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
This leader is really good at speaking.
He looked at the time. It had been half an hour. Did you know that the focus of today was blind dates? Fortunately, it was already the end. Finally, the leader had finished speaking. There was thunderous applause.
I don't know if it's to celebrate that he finally stopped talking.
Zhuang Zhixi leaned against the wall, looking at the many men and women in the venue, about two or three hundred people, well, it should be more than that, in fact, there should be more. There was cheerful music playing on the scene. The lively young men and women jumped up in the venue, while the shy ones stood in the corner.
If we talk about the more lively places, there are a few good-looking girls with a lot of people around them.
The center of the venue was Tao Yuye.
In fact, Tao Yuye knew when she registered her information that Zhang Bang would give her a detailed introduction of their backgrounds. As a temporary worker, this was her biggest disadvantage. As for the rest, it was normal conditions.
But this big disadvantage is enough to make people not choose her, which is why Tao Yuye had thought about what to do early on. Men are all lustful, especially those with good conditions, and sometimes they may not focus on the conditions of the woman.
She has been on blind dates many times, and she feels that the more average and calculating a man is, the more he will demand good conditions from the woman. The opposite is not true, so she never considers those who don't like her conditions.
All she has to do is shine in this blind date.
She had been planning for a long time and had practiced at home for a long time. As the music started, she took the initiative to be the first to go on stage, smiling and saying, "With such unique music and such a beautiful day, it's rare for us to be together, so why don't I dance for everyone?"
She learned a Xinjiang dance, which was just right.
"good!"
"pretty!"
Under Tao Yuye's lead, the scene soon became lively, and many bold young men and women came out. Of course, some people were used to Tao Yuye, while others were not.
Especially if it is a lesbian, you can probably tell on the spot that this lesbian is not the same kind of person as you.
How can I explain this? Men probably don’t understand. But lesbians understand this kind of character immediately. They don’t like it.
The scene was very lively, but Bai Fendou was the lonely one. He approached several people in succession, but they all quickly dodged him. Bai Fendou was a little discouraged. He didn't know that before he came in, many people gathered in front of the list to watch the excitement, asking one after another: "What's Bai Fendou's number? What's Bai Fendou's number in the machinery factory? Twenty-five? Which one is twenty-five..."
So when Bai Fendou showed up, the number "Twenty-Five" clearly visible on his badge blinded everyone.
It turns out that this is Bai Fendou.
This is Bai Fendou, the man who is no longer a man and has many topics to talk about.
Upon closer look, he was indeed ugly.
Ugly and stupid! Speaking of this, everyone has a bad impression of Bai Fendou. In addition to the rumors about him, it is also because of today's blind date. You know, it's been less than a month since Bai Fendou's father passed away, and it hasn't even been 37 days yet, and the son is out on a blind date to find a partner.
Saying this gives people the feeling that you are not filial.
He is not filial to his own father, how can he expect to be filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law? This is impossible. So the female comrades have a general impression of him. But Bai Fendou is still not aware of Jing'er. The people he takes the initiative to talk to are all good-looking.
This makes people look down on him even more. This person has no self-awareness.
What conditions do you have? You go after a pretty girl. Aren't you making her a widow? Anyway, the gay men at the scene looked at Bai Fendou with their noses not being a nose and their eyes not being eyes. The lesbians also quickly avoided Bai Fendou and were not willing to say a word.
The area around Bai Fendou is basically a vacuum zone.
He himself didn't notice that Zhuang Zhixi was squatting and eating peanuts, and he saw it clearly.
"Where are the peanuts? Give me some."
Zhou Qun squatted down beside Zhuang Zhixi, who said without hesitation: "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. It's sold at the door."
Zhou Qun: "A stingy person drinks cold water."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'd love to."
Zhou Qun watched Zhuang Zhixi eating, hesitated for a moment, and quickly went out, jogging. After a while, he came back and squatted down to peel peanuts. He watched Bai Fendou return empty-handed again, and sighed: "Why is he so clueless? He should talk to those with poor conditions. Why does he look for those with good conditions without considering his own conditions? How can others give him a good face!"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Maybe he was blinded by her beauty?"
When Bai Fendou was in the hospital, he said he wanted to find a widow with children, but now that he has come here, he has changed. He was really dazzled. But he didn't think about it, how could someone with better conditions choose him.
"Tsk, tsk, I think he can't find it again this time."
"I think so."
The two of them were squatting in the corner eating peanuts and chattering, which attracted the attention of Sister Cui. She came over and squatted down, saying, "Give me some."
Zhuang Zhixi gave some to Sister Cui, and Zhou Qun snorted coldly.
Damn this bastard treats me differently.
Sister Cui looked at the men and women at the scene and said, "I don't know how many couples will be able to form today."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course there are. The previous ones were not as good as this one, but they were quite successful. This time it is actually clearer and more definite."
"That's right."
They were all there to watch the fun. Bai Fendou looked around for a while, but no one paid any attention to him. He sighed helplessly. He was such a good young man, why was it so difficult for him to find a partner? He sighed, turned around and saw Tao Yuye's smiling face, and immediately went over to her: "Little Nurse Tao, I didn't expect you to be here too. You danced beautifully just now."
Tao Yuye said generously: "Thank you."
She said, "Comrade Bai, how are you? Do you have a girl you like? Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."
She winked playfully, causing the men around her to gasp, and they just thought this girl was so cute.
One of the male comrades looked down on Bai Fendou and said, "Xiao Tao, you are a simple and kind person. You can make friends with anyone. There are some people you should stay away from. Be careful, or you will be cheated. This may seem personal, but it may not be a personal thing."
“That’s right.”
"Why would you bother with someone like Bai Fendou? He's not even a man."
Bai Fendou's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "What the hell did you say!"
He immediately grabbed the man by the collar and said, "Do you want me to be nosy? I don't need you to care. You are a man now, but you are still looking for a partner with me. Nurse Tao doesn't like you either!"
"Whether you like me or not, I am still a man." The man was stubborn.
"I'll fucking beat you to death!"
"Come on if you have the guts. Why would I be afraid of you? Who the hell do you think you are?"
The two started arguing, and everyone around them looked over.
Some were curious, some were watching the fun, and some were slightly frowning and very unhappy.
Zhuang Zhixi and other onlookers in the distance said: "Fuck, what the hell is Bai Fendou doing!"
They really admired Bai Fendou, the old man, for being so irritable in any situation. Zhuang Zhixi quickly stood up and tried to stop the fight, saying, "Let go, let go, all of you, you are all here to find a partner. What are you doing? You are making a fool of yourself by making the female comrades laugh at you. How bad is that? Go away, look, the female comrades are looking at you. Men in the city have to save face."
Zhuang Zhixi's words worked, and the two people separated.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, we all work in the same factory. It shouldn't be that serious."
He tidied up Bai Fendou's clothes. These were his father's, so he must not damage them.
Just after finishing tidying up, he suddenly felt that this was not a good idea, in order to avoid being gossiped about. After all, there were too many rumors about Bai Fendou. He turned around and tidied up the other person who was about to fight, and said, "You all should be more decent. You should be straight and look decent. Why are you single and why am I married? Isn't it because I am a clean and tidy person with a good personality? You guys, learn from me."
Bai Fendou and the one who was about to fight: "..."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Comrades, we must be kind and polite to others so that we can show the style of our machinery factory."
Bai Fendou's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: What you said really makes it sound like that, but in fact, it's just because of a good-looking face.
"Behave well and try to get married soon."
Bai Fendou: "You better get out of here. You have a wife here and you're showing off to me."
The other: “That’s right.”
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged innocently and said, "Have you ever thought that what you think is showing off is actually just the truth to me?"
"Well..."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Let's go, what's the point of fighting? Hurry up and see if there is a suitable girl and launch an offensive. You don't even know how to find a partner!"
The people around him also laughed. Although he said that, there was no aggression in his words. It was obviously a joke, and the tense atmosphere at the scene instantly relaxed a lot.
A few female comrades also whispered, "Why isn't he wearing a badge? What's his number?"
"You like him? Didn't you hear what I just said? He's married."
"I'm not kidding."
"I asked you to say that. It's definitely not true. Look, he doesn't even have a badge on. He should just be a staff member. He's probably from the Machinery Factory Union, or the Propaganda Department."
"That's something we need to ask about..."
Everyone chattered quietly.
Zhou Qun heard all of this and said, "Don't be interested in gay men who don't wear branded clothes. They are all married. Even if you like them, it won't work."
Several female comrades were whispering, and when they heard his loud voice, they rolled their eyes at him.
But this doesn't focus on Zhuang Zhixi. Since he said that, he must be married. What a pity, a good-looking, interesting, and decent gay man is married.
The scene became lively again.
Zhuang Zhixi persuaded them and kept his achievements and fame to himself.
He returned to the corner and squatted again. But he didn't notice that there were also a few people looking at him. Several leaders from the units who came over to check the situation looked at him, nodded, smiled and whispered: "Young man, you are interesting in doing things and you handle it very well."
In such an occasion, it is definitely possible to persuade people to stop talking, but even if you persuade them to stop talking, you can still make the scene lively without affecting it and not causing discomfort to others. This is quite difficult.
"I know him. He comes to our company every day to pick up his wife. His wife is from our company." The leader of the bus station said with a smile, "They are both interesting young couples. His wife's name is Mingmei, and she is quite something. We have caught thieves many times, and the police station has discussed with me many times, wanting to take her away. But I didn't do it."
"Wow, that's amazing."
"Of course not."
After discussing Zhuang Zhixi and his wife for a while, everyone turned their heads and looked back at the meeting place. "Hey, the one who just had an argument with Bai Fendou was your nephew, right?"
"Yes, something that brings shame to the family."
"A gentleman is looking for a beautiful lady, probably for lesbians."
"That girl is really graceful and she dances Xinjiang dance very well."
"yes."
Don't think that men don't gossip, and don't think that leaders don't gossip.
Everyone was still having a lot of fun watching it.
One by one, they talked a lot! Zhuang Zhixi squatted in the corner, still peeling peanuts, and saw a woman walking towards Bai Fendou with a smile and took the initiative to say, "Comrade Bai Fendou, hello."
Zhuang Zhixi stopped eating the peanuts and looked over with wide eyes.
How can this white struggle also lead to romance?
