The first time I saw Nurse Tao, I felt like spring flowers were blooming.
This girl was exactly what he wanted. He looked at Tao Yuye with a rosy face and said, "Little Nurse Tao..."
Tao Yuye's hand shook and the stab went astray.
Bai Fendou: “Ah!”
Tao Yuye quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Comrade Bai Fendou, I suddenly got nervous when you called me..."
She blushed and bit her lip as she apologized.
Bai Fendou: "It's okay! It doesn't hurt! Come again."
Tao Yuye: “Oh!”
She said, "Then don't talk to me..."
Tao Yuye was a little nervous. After all, this was a real person, the first time she had pricked a real person since graduation. Although she boasted in the infirmary that her grades in school were among the best, she knew the reality in her heart.
She took a deep breath, stabbed forward, and blood gushed out instantly!
She reached out her hand and slapped him, quickly pressing it down. Bai Fendou's face... turned red again.
He stuttered: "You, you, you, why are you holding my hand?"
Tao Yuye forced a smile and said, "Close your eyes."
Bai Fendou closed his eyes obediently. Tao Yuye took another breath and thrust forward. Bai Fendou: “Hmm.”
Tao Yuye: "It's okay!"
She tried six or seven times in a row, and Bai Fendou was grinning. Finally, she succeeded. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can open my eyes now, Comrade Bai Fendou. You are such a good person. You could clearly see that I was nervous, but you didn't blame me at all."
Bai Fendou immediately patted his chest and said, "How can a grown man be so hypocritical? How can I argue with a girl like you?"
Tao Yuye smiled and said, "Then I'll go and give Uncle Bai the tattoo."
The old man was trembling. He heard that someone was giving an IV drip, so he came over. He sat on the bench in the room and watched Tao Yuye inject the needle many times. This girl has a lucky face, but her skills are really not good.
Well, his eyesight is not that good, how can he tell that his son is a good person? Even he, as a father, can't see it.
He was confused: "Ah, this... I, actually I..."
He couldn't see how many needle holes there were on Bai Fendou's arm. He took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I'm almost well now. I don't need the IV drip anymore."
Tao Yuye didn't believe this. It wasn't a matter of whether she had a brain or not. As long as she had eyes, she could see it. The old man was definitely not as well-prepared as he said. If this was what he meant by well-prepared, then there would be no more patients.
She said seriously, "Uncle Bai, you can't do this. Your condition has been diagnosed by the hospital. Our clinic has also prescribed a week's worth of IV drips, which has already been used up. And your salary has already been deducted. If you don't get the injection, the money will not be refunded."
"Ah, this..." The old man thought of this, his face turned bitter and he felt painful.
He was afraid instinctively, but he didn't want to waste it, as this week's IV drip would cost a lot of money.
Tao Yuye: "You should get the fight. If you don't, it will be a waste. I don't put the money into my pocket, so I think it's better for you to get the fight. Besides, your injuries are not light, so it's even worse if you don't get the fight. Inflammation is easy to occur in the summer, so I think it's better not to take the risk."
It was a good opportunity for her to practice.
Although Tao Yuye wanted to move up the ladder through marriage, she was also a scheming girl. She knew that even if she wanted to change her life through marriage, she couldn't give up her job completely, otherwise she would have no security.
There weren't many patients in their clinic, and if she wanted to be proficient in her job and perform well when giving injections to leaders, she had to practice more. Only in this way could she seize the opportunity when it came, just like Zhuang Zhixi seized this opportunity to go to the security department, so she might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to become a regular employee.
So she was still very sincere: "Uncle, if this gets inflamed, it will be very dangerous. I don't need to say it, you know it. Are you afraid of injections? In fact, you don't have to be afraid. In fact, my skills are very good. I have excellent grades in school. But because I just started working and it's my first time to come to a single man's house, I am a little nervous..."
She lied with her eyes open.
Her grades in school were quite average. At that time, she wanted to use the advantages of school to find a partner all day long, and she didn't study much. But now men are also very smart, they don't just look at the face, they must also look at the conditions. The man who likes her, she doesn't like; the man she likes doesn't like her, so she is very distressed.
So she still wants to hone her skills in case of emergency.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared.
She was a girl, so after hearing what she said, the old man actually believed it. He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Although it really looks scary, he was injured in a vital part of the body. Although he has not used it for decades, there is no guarantee that Aunt Su will agree to treat him. If it gets inflamed and becomes disabled, then it will be the end of him.
So he gritted his teeth and agreed. Tao Yuye: "So are you going to stay in this room or..."
"Come to my room."
Tao Yuye quickly followed him to the old man's room. She frowned slightly and then pretended nothing had happened. The first move of a smart woman is to ignore the harsh environment around her. She quickly took out the IV bottle and started to work... "Ah!"
The white old man screamed.
The old ladies in the courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Aunt Wang came over from the backyard. The four aunts in the courtyard met together and were all peeking at the door of the Bai family. It was really not easy.
Those who know it is an injection, those who don't think it is a pig slaughtering.
"What are they doing? Killing pigs?" Aunt Lian also came over curiously, thinking it would be a shame to ignore the fun.
"Why are you talking like that? Didn't you hear how painful it was for Brother Bai to scream?" I knew it was Aunt Su as soon as I heard this.
Aunt Lian didn't say anything. Fortunately, the glass in Bai's house was all broken. They could see everything clearly from the window. They were all very curious. They watched Tao Yuye hit again and again.
The extent of the damage done to Old Man Bai was no less than that done to Bai Fendou.
The fight finally started, and the old man felt hopeless.
Tao Yuye explained: "This drip is done. You don't need to remove the needle in your hand. Just remove the bottle on top and insert the second bottle. Then you can continue. You will have two drips a day. Normally, it will take four hours to complete two drips. I will be back in three and a half hours. Don't move during this time, otherwise I won't be there if something goes wrong."
The old man nodded painfully.
Bai Fendou in the opposite room called out, "Nurse Tao, are you going back now? Why don't you wait here? We'll be in trouble if anything happens to you. You can't leave. Aren't you here to serve us? Why don't you keep an eye on us from beginning to end?"
He thought the girl was pretty and fell in love with her at first sight.
Aunt Su outside the window had an ugly expression on her face, saying that this man was unreliable. It was right to cheat him of his money at ordinary times, but even if he didn't cheat, he would spend it on others. Sure enough, this man would spend money all the time, and he would never be honest unless he was hung on the wall.
Bai Fendou looked at Tao Yuye expectantly: "Little Nurse Tao..."
Tao Yuye: "That won't work. This clinic is not for your family. We have been specially approved by the factory. If you are not injured in important parts... we will not come to your house for ordinary injuries. Okay, I'm leaving."
Anyway, the acupuncture was done, so she no longer spoke in such a gentle tone as before. She quickly went out with her bag on her back. She saw a group of old ladies watching the fun, looking down on these useless old women who were uneducated and only knew how to gossip about other people.
She nodded slightly and then pushed her bike away.
Aunt Zhou deliberately stretched her head and said to Bai Fendou who was looking through the window: "Hey, Bai Fendou, this little nurse is pretty. Are you attracted to her?"
Bai Fendou's face turned slightly red, and he immediately said, "What are you talking about? Don't destroy the reputation of Nurse Xiao Tao."
Seeing him like this, Aunt Zhou thought he had nothing to understand. She chuckled and said, "He is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He doesn't even look at himself. She said, "If you find someone you like, ask Aunt Su to be your matchmaker. I just don't know if Aunt Su is willing to give up."
Aunt Su: "What nonsense you are talking about. If Bai Fendou has a good family, I will be very happy. But I am not familiar with that nurse Tao. Besides, she looks very well-off and young. She won't look down on Bai Fendou, right?"
Bai Fendou got anxious after hearing this: "Why don't you like it? My condition is really good."
This is the most clueless thing about this person, and several middle-aged women were speechless.
In the past, you could barely say that you had good conditions in the security department, but now you are a toilet cleaner. Do you think that young girls don't have face? Although there is no distinction between high and low jobs, the toilet cleaners in the factory are different from the sanitation workers who sweep the streets outside. But they are still toilet cleaners. In fact, in the factory, the salary for toilet cleaners is not the lowest. Generally, apprentices in the workshop only make ten yuan. Even the first-level workers in the workshop don't make more than twenty-five yuan.
So 25 yuan a month for cleaning the toilet is actually not bad. But it is not bad to return it.
It's so embarrassing when someone asks this.
Moreover, there is no increase in the wages for cleaning toilets. No matter how many years you work there, the salary is still 25. It is not like in other workshops, where you can get a raise when you get a promotion.
If you don't have a job, it would be best if you can sweep the toilets; if you are transferred from the security department, it would be very embarrassing.
Bai Fendou and Old Man Bai even reduced their salaries because of this, but even so, Bai Fendou still felt that his conditions were not bad. He never thought that he would always be sweeping toilets. Instead, he felt that this was a transition. With such good performance, he would probably go back after a few punishments for two or three months. Therefore, he was very optimistic.
"My job is actually pretty good. I don't know when this nurse Tao came. Oh, I don't know if she is a formal employee." Bai Fendou is still picky. If she is not a formal employee, he will not do it.
Zhao Guihua looked at the man in front of her as if he were a big fool, and felt deeply that he was indeed stupid.
He is the only one who despises Tao Yuye?
Although Tao Yuye's family conditions are ordinary, she has a good relative. Doctor Wang, her aunt, will help her plan. Doctor Wang's husband is the office director of the factory. No matter how you look at it, his future is better than Bai Fendou's.
Not to mention that she is less than 20 years old. Look at Bai Fendou, he is in his early 30s.
I don't know where this confidence comes from.
Zhao Guihua was not very familiar with Tao Yuye, but she vaguely remembered that Tao Yuye should have married well. Of course, anyone who was not stupid would look down on Bai Doudou. Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes and turned away.
Aunt Wang stopped Zhao Guihua and said, "Old Zhao, wait a moment. I want to ask you something."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, let's go inside and talk."
The old ladies' alliance was broken up. Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "Aunt Lian, let's go to my house and sit down."
At this point, only Aunt Su was left in the yard. Aunt Su looked around, was silent for a moment, and quickly entered the Bai family's door. Aunt Zhou whispered to Aunt Lian: "Look, look at this old widow, isn't she shameless. She's been messing around with the old widower of the Bai family all day long..."
Aunt Lian: "...your yard is really lively."
"That's not the case."
Aunt Zhou: "Aunt Lian, I asked you to come here because I want to ask about my daughter-in-law's pregnancy. Some people say that my daughter-in-law can't have children. You see, I don't know who to believe..."
She looked at Aunt Lian, trying to read the clues on her face. Aunt Lian said calmly, "Impossible, I don't think so. If you don't believe me, ask someone else to see it. I don't mind. But you have to believe that time will always prove everything. We will leave everything to time."
Aunt Lian had done a lot of things that were done by charlatans, but she was very calm. She was so calm that Aunt Zhou believed her immediately. She nodded and said, "What you said does make sense. You see..."
The two of them started talking again. This feudal and superstitious activity really doesn't last long.
Not to mention them, even Aunt Wang was saying the same thing.
She came to the Zhuang family to chat, and whispered to Zhao Guihua, "Old Zhao, look at the toilet in our alley, is it really haunted? Otherwise, why are there so many problems? Do you think we should think of some way to ward off this evil spirit?"
This is really a very good relationship. If the relationship is not so good, no one would dare to talk about such a private topic.
Zhao Guihua: "I don't think so. It's not that I don't believe this. I just think that we have to rebuild this toilet. Even if there are problems, there won't be any more problems. Why should we do more? This is not a matter of money. It will be bad if it gets out."
Aunt Wang: "That's true. I don't want to be superstitious, but this is a weird thing. A grown man went crazy in the toilet. This is not the first time."
Regarding the matter of the boy from the Yu family, Aunt Wang was also inclined to believe that it was haunted.
After all, there is the precedent of Zhou Qun.
In fact, most people think so. Zhao Guihua did not disagree and said, "Let's not take any action yet and wait and see. Maybe things will be different after the reconstruction. I have also heard that after a haunted house was demolished and rebuilt, there was no such thing anymore."
Aunt Wang: “I hope so.”
She looked at the old hen in the yard, and was moved. She said, "This hen is good. Your family is really busy."
She lowered her voice and asked, "How much?"
Zhao Guihua: "Four dollars for one."
Aunt Wang took a deep breath. A chicken outside only costs two yuan. This is double the price. It's too expensive. She looked at the old hen with a toothache. She was not looking at the old hen, but at Jin Dun Dun.
Zhao Guihua: "Although it is expensive, it lays eggs immediately. And look at this chicken, it is not very big, so it can be raised for a long time."
She continued to calculate: "Now the price of eggs is also fluctuating. We take four cents and lay 100 eggs, which is equivalent to the price difference. The average price of a chicken is 50 yuan, and it takes two months to raise it, so the extra money will come out. Then we can raise it for another year or two, and then eat the chickens, so we won't lose anything. Besides, eggs are so hard to buy now."
"You have a point. Was it Aunt Lian who instigated this?"
Zhao Guihua nodded, and he said, "Although it's a little expensive, it's fast. If you want to find a hen that can lay eggs immediately, how long will it take to find it? But look at this, it only takes one or two days to find it for you. Time is money."
Aunt Wang burst out laughing and said, "What you said really makes sense."
She whispered, "I think Aunt Zhou will also raise one, so if that's the case, I'll raise two too."
Before, no one raised chickens, so no one did. Now that they are raising chickens, everyone is flocking to it. People always follow the crowd. Zhao Guihua has started a new trend. She smiled and said, "I have thought about it. I plan to go to the scrap collection station to buy an old pot, or a large bowl or plate, and then plant some green onions and leeks in it. After all, we raise chickens, and the chicken manure will feed the soil, so they will definitely grow well. This will not delay anything, and we will have more vegetables at home. It saves money on buying vegetables."
When Aunt Wang heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded: "That's a good idea."
If they want to open a piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables, it will definitely not work. This is different from raising chickens. Raising chickens now uses a small area, but if it is to grow vegetables, how many can you plant without opening a large area? If your family comes to my family, there will definitely be conflicts over the territory, and it is not ruled out that some people want to eat for free. If they steal vegetables secretly, it will be very annoying.
But if you plant them in a large pot and place it on the steps under the window, it does not take up much space, let alone public space. Although there are not many plants, you can carry them into the house if you are worried. Not only can you avoid extremely bad weather, but you can also prevent thieves.
"When is a good time for you to go? I'll go with you. I can't not join this. Old Zhao, I find that you have a lot of ideas. You are more suitable to be the director of the academy than I am."
Zhao Guihua's face changed immediately, and she waved her hands, leaving an afterimage, and said quickly: "No, no, I can't do it. You've done a good job, so don't say that others are more suitable. I'm not suitable at all. I'm selfish and I only care about myself. I'm not suitable."
There are so many trivial things to do in the hospital, and it is a thankless job. Zhao Guihua was afraid that Aunt Wang would recommend her, so she quickly made her attitude clear.
Why is this so?
In her previous life, Aunt Wang had recommended her. Fortunately, Aunt Su, Bai Fendou's family, and Aunt Zhou did not support her and would not vote for her, so Zhao Guihua did not take on this burden. They really had bad intentions but did good things.
Zhao Guihua is not willing to serve the people.
Why should she work so hard for them? If she doesn't get a good word from them, her hair will start to grow white.
So no matter whether Aunt Wang was just saying it casually or had some other ideas, Zhao Guihua was still frightened and was very determined.
Aunt Wang was stunned, and then she sighed speechlessly: "You really are, why do you say that about yourself..."
Zhao Guihua said confidently, "I'm not afraid that you will be provoked by those talented people in our courtyard. If you don't want to do it anymore, you will nominate me? I can't handle it. Who are they? They are all strange people. Ordinary people can't deal with them. Besides, why don't you take care of your own family? Why do you have to get involved with them?"
When Aunt Wang heard this, she sighed and nodded: "You are right."
She is such a nosy person, and now she is exhausted from working so hard.
“It’s so tiring,” she said.
Zhao Guihua patted her shoulder sympathetically.
Aunt Wang: "I feel so miserable."
Zhao Guihua laughed and said, "Okay, let's go. I'll take you to find Aunt Lian..."
Those who are not working are busy at home, but those who are working are not so busy and relaxed. Zhuang Zhixi has been writing articles all morning. This is what their factory wants to submit to the local newspaper. However, he wrote several introductions in succession and was not satisfied with them. This is too conventional, and people will definitely not be happy to accept it.
Although Sister Cui said that they often failed to submit their works, Zhuang Zhixi was new here and still wanted to show his level and gain a foothold. He scratched his head, got up to pour water, and when he came back from the water room, he saw several people lying on the window. Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "What's going on outside?"
"It's Section Chief Liu. Section Chief Liu is criticizing the people in their security department."
Zhuang Zhixi went over to watch the fun and saw Chief Liu cursing angrily, but after listening, everyone could tell what was going on. When Chief Liu returned to the factory after dealing with Bai Fendou's matter yesterday, he unexpectedly found someone in the security department slacking off and sleeping.
You know, many thieves who steal steel only operate at night. The security department protects not only the personal safety of the people in the factory, but also the important materials in the factory. This is more important than anything else.
So Section Chief Liu was very angry, and he was particularly strict when arranging patrols today.
Whenever they see any slowness, they will curse.
"I think Section Chief Liu is making Bai Fendou angry, so he's taking it out on everyone," someone said.
But Sister Cui and the others didn't agree with this. Sister Cui shook her head and said, "No, Section Chief Liu is not that kind of person. He treats things one way and one way. Besides, you all know that Section Chief Liu is very serious about his work. The year he was transferred to a new job, steel was lost in our factory, and it was he who led people to track it down, and finally recovered it and brought that group of thieves to justice."
"Yes, I know about that. I heard that the thief also hid the wood warehouse. We did it to him. If he hadn't been lucky, his grave would be covered with grass now."
Zhuang Zhixi: "What year did this happen?"
"Of course you don't know. You were so young. That was about 14 or 15 years ago. You probably didn't even start elementary school then. It was still the 1950s."
Zhuang Zhixi scratched his head: "How old is Section Chief Liu? I don't think he is very old."
"Section Chief Liu is 42 years old this year, but he joined the army early. Both of his parents were martyrs, and he was a child soldier who grew up in the army. He has been in the army since he was a child, and was injured and retired at the age of 27. To be honest, sometimes you really can't help but believe in superstition... Well, I'm not promoting feudal superstition, I just say it's really hard to say. The year he retired, it was still the 1950s, and there were actually enemies who were sabotaging. Big thieves and small thieves did not disappear, they were all there. For example, our machinery factory often lost steel materials, and he led people to chase them, and the leader shot him in the chest. At that time, everyone thought he must be dead. But who would have thought that he was actually fine. You can't guess why?"
Zhuang Zhixi listened very carefully and sighed: "Why?"
"That blow hit him right on his military medal. Can you believe it? He always wears three military medals on his body, in the pockets of his shirt, his parents' and his own. It hit him right there, but he was not hurt."
Zhuang Zhixi's eyes widened: "Fuck."
"Do you think this is God's will...uh, do you think he is lucky?"
I originally wanted to say God bless you, but I couldn't say it, so I quickly changed my words.
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "It's really amazing."
"Yes, not long after he took office, the atmosphere in our factory improved a lot. I heard that he had the opportunity to be transferred up, but he had feelings for the factory and didn't want to leave, so he stayed here."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I didn't expect Chief Liu to have so many pasts."
"Yeah, so if the security department slacks off, Section Chief Liu will really get mad. He has always said that no matter what the attitudes of other departments are, the security department must not be lazy, and must not have character problems. Look, Bai Fendou was transferred this time, and he will never be able to return to the security department in his lifetime."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Speaking of Bai Fendou, I saw him discharged from the hospital this morning... He wasn't well yet, so why was he discharged?"
He sighed, and Sister Cui immediately said, "Oh, you don't know, the father and son were persuaded to leave the hospital."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Ah, this..."
Sister Cui: "Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more. The hospital can't handle them anymore. Now many male comrades in the factory are very worried. Bai Fendou is so depressed that he almost wants others to look at him and say that he squeezes any man he catches..."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt that the rumor was too outrageous. Even so, Bai Fendou would not be like this.
Although he is indeed an average person, he is good at pinching eggs.
He thought this was outrageous.
Can't.
Perhaps Zhuang Zhixi's disbelief was too obvious, and someone immediately said, "Don't disbelieve me. You may think some things are impossible, but that's impossible for a normal person. But think about it carefully, is Bai Fendou a normal person?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "You actually convinced me with your words."
"You are all from the same courtyard, so you better be careful."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He said seriously: "Then I will definitely stay away from him when I see him next time."
Zhuang Zhixi: “I know.”
He looked out the window cheerfully. Suddenly, Zhuang Zhixi clapped his head and said, "No, can we write about advanced individuals in our submissions? Based on individuals, write about some outstanding old comrades in the factory."
Everyone looked at him. Zhuang Zhixi pointed at Section Chief Liu who was still cursing outside and said, "For example, this."
Everyone: “…”
This is the look you give a monkey.
Sister Cui swallowed her saliva and said, "You know what, it's really good. But..."
She looked out the window at Chief Liu, who had a bad temper, and said, "He has a bad temper and is very suspicious. He thinks too much about everything. If you go to him, he may not be happy."
Zhuang Zhixi was calm: "It's okay. If Chief Liu is willing, that's even better. If he's not willing, I'll ask someone else. Anyway, let's give it a try."
Huang, who was listening, thought Zhuang Zhixi's idea was a good one. He said, "Sometimes you don't have to write about important positions. Even if it's an ordinary position, people who work hard can actually be more involved."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I'll go find Chief Liu first. If he doesn't want to, I'll ask other people. I just found out about Chief Liu's affairs, so I'm even less familiar with others. I'll try to find someone who knows the specific situation. We can't make up stories."
"right!"
Xiao Xu who was standing by looked at Zhuang Zhixi and snorted, thinking that this man just wanted to take the opportunity to flatter Chief Liu. He really thought that no one could see it.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't pay attention to Xiao Xu. Who would have nothing to do to pay attention to an old man? He wasn't idle. After Zhuang Zhixi made his decision, he went to find Chief Liu in the afternoon. When Chief Liu heard what he said, he spit out a loud snort and said firmly: "No, no, I don't like to get involved in this kind of thing. You should find someone else."
Seeing his stern refusal, Zhuang Zhixi said, "Look at you, I already know you, don't I? I don't know about other people's affairs. Besides, you are worthy of our study."
Chief Liu was pleased with what he said, but he was still firm: "I really don't want to be in the limelight. If I wanted to be in the limelight, why would I have waited until today? If you really want to write..." He looked at Zhuang Zhixi and saw that she was quite sincere, so he said: "Then you should go find the security guard, Old Niu. Uncle Niu is the one who is worth writing about. Don't underestimate him because he is a security guard. In fact, his deeds are also very touching. His son died to protect the important materials of our factory. He himself is also very capable..."
Zhuang Zhixi carried a small notebook with him and wrote it down immediately.
Seeing how seriously he was writing, Section Chief Liu laughed and said, "Then I'll tell you more."
Section Chief Liu was not busy either. He held a teacup and introduced Zhuang Zhixi. He asked curiously, "Can you write this down and submit it to the newspaper?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know if it can be published, but I want to give it a try. Everyone can write traditional stories, and I want to try to use characters to promote our factory. It's a way after all."
Section Chief Liu nodded and said, "You are a very honest person. If you told me that you could definitely do it, I would think you were just talking nonsense. But if you said that, I would understand." He is an "old man" in the factory and has worked there for more than ten years. Of course, he knows a lot about the factory.
Although he didn't know everything, he had a general idea of it, so Zhuang Zhixi didn't hesitate to ask him for a favor. He was also happy to talk more with this little guy.
The two of them were having a very pleasant conversation, at least that's what Zhou Qun, who came in from outside carrying an electrician's box, thought. Zhou Qun came here to repair the circuit, and the problem was not in this office, but the weather was getting hot now, so opening the doors and windows for ventilation could be seen at a glance.
Zhou Qun looked at Zhuang Zhixi sitting here in surprise and raised his eyebrows unhappily. Why is this kid here? He just knows how to flatter people everywhere.
He felt that Zhuang Zhixi was able to be transferred to the Propaganda Department by flattering others, and now he even did not let go of the Security Department. This is really... "Be careful!"
Zhou Qun was a little distracted and didn't pay attention to his feet. Section Chief Liu glanced casually and saw that Zhou Qun tripped over a cement bag in the corridor. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Qun.
"Be careful."
Then he said, "Zhang Saner, why is your cement bag still in the corridor?"
The building that houses their security department is a bit dilapidated and has a lot of problems. It even leaked during the heavy rain a few days ago.
So, the unused cement from the repair was placed in the corridor.
Zhang Saner ran over and said, "I'll move it right away."
He asked: "Zhou Qun, are you okay?"
Zhou Qun shook his head: "It's okay."
Looking at Section Chief Liu again, I just felt that this man was more manly.
He said, "Section Chief Liu, you saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen flat on my face. I'll treat you to dinner tonight to thank you very much."
Section Chief Liu waved his hand and said calmly: "No need. If you fell in our security department, we would feel embarrassed."
"That's not the way to say it. You see, this may be a small matter for others, but it is very important to me. I also brought a lot of tools with me. If they are broken, it will be troublesome. You have helped me a lot. Please don't be polite to me. You must give me a chance..."
Section Chief Liu looked at Zhou Qun holding his hand tightly, and with a little effort, he pulled it out and said, "Really, there's no need."
Seeing that Zhou Qun was still trying to get involved, Zhang Saner hurriedly said, "Zhou Qun, can you lend me a hand and help me carry this to the warehouse at the back?"
Zhou Qun’s face darkened. Damn, I almost tripped, and you still have the nerve to ask me to work?
He was very unhappy, but his reputation in the factory was very delicate, so he didn't want to offend anyone easily. He just looked at Section Chief Liu again unwillingly, and then helped Zhang Saner carry the cement and leave.
Zhang San'er was also a tactless person. He didn't notice that the other person was unhappy at all, and he even greeted him cheerfully: "Zhou Qun, you know what? Bai Fendou has been discharged from the hospital. You have to take good care of your wife in the future. Although Bai Fendou is broken, he may not be a man..."
Zhou Qun almost threw the cement on Zhang Saner's face, and said stiffly: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with Bai Fendou and my wife. I said it was an accident last time. If there is really something wrong, I can't let him go. Besides, my father-in-law won't agree."
He turned back to look at Section Chief Liu's office and asked unhappily, "What is Zhuang Zhixi doing here?"
Zhang Saner: "Well, for work. The work of the propaganda department is quite diverse."
Zhou Qun was not happy to hear this. He said, "What kind of work does the Propaganda Department have? I see they have nothing to do. They are like salted fish all day long and do nothing."
Zhang Saner: “…”
He stammered, "You, you, it's not right for you to say that."
He said: “I think every position is difficult.”
He was a gossipy person, so he changed the subject to gossip again and said, "You know Xiao Tao, the new one in the infirmary? The best-looking one, the one who took over Zhuang Zhixi's class. She went to give Bai Fendou and his son an IV today, and I heard that all the windows in their house were broken. Hey, was it your mother who broke them?"
Zhou Qun: “…”
How could this man be so inconsiderate? He looked at Section Chief Liu's office again. He had to say that this brave man, Section Chief Liu, really had no decent people under his command. In addition to the loser like Bai Fendou, there were chatterboxes like Zhang Saner, and fools like Li Si who just watched the fun without fear of trouble. It was not easy for the Section Chief of the Security Department.
"It's not easy for you, the section chief, to do your job."
Zhang Saner: "That's right. Take Bai Fendou for example. Everything he did brought shame to our security department. Although he was banished to sweep toilets and pick up feces, he was still with us when the incident happened. He is still a member of our security department. How could our section chief not be angry? He even spoke loudly to us today. Sigh. It's hot and I'm irritable, and there are also these troublesome things."
Zhou Qun pursed his lips, as if thinking about something.
Zhuang Zhixi was sitting on a chair. Coincidentally, he could see out the window from this position. Zhou Qun looked back every few steps and was clearly seen by Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Oh no, what is Zhou Qun looking at?
He smiled and said, "Zhou Qun has been looking over here. Could it be that he thinks I want to gossip with you here?"
Section Chief Liu: "...That's possible. He tends to overthink."
Section Chief Liu had a very bad impression of Zhou Qun, just looking at what he had done. Any normal person would not have a good impression of him. Although... Zhou Qun had given Huazi cigarettes to the deputy section chief, and the deputy section chief later gave him a box of these cigarettes.
Even though he smoked the other person's cigarette, Section Chief Liu really couldn't go against his conscience and say that this guy was a good person.
He said, "You should be careful with this person in the future. Be careful with him or Bai Fendou. Neither of them is a good person."
He also really sighed: "What kind of feng shui is this in your yard? Why are there so many idiots?"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "Chief, we can't talk about this."
Section Chief Liu smiled and said, "I just said it casually. Anyway, you should be careful of them."
This was said sincerely. Although the two people were not acquaintances, they were kind enough to remind him. Zhuang Zhixi said, "I know this, but they probably don't have time to pay attention to me. The relationship between the two you mentioned is quite bad. They quarrel all the time. It's not my turn to find fault."
Just because of this fight, Zhuang Zhixi couldn't even be ranked in the compound.
Section Chief Liu understood, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Zhuang Zhixi: “I’m used to it.”
Section Chief Liu smiled and said, "You guys are quite lively."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's right, Chief Liu, let's talk about the gatekeeper?"
"Okay." He said, "Uncle Niu's story is really worth writing about. It would be great if it can be reported."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it."
Section Chief Liu: "Of course this person understands."
As the two were chatting, they soon saw Zhou Qun coming back, his eyes still glued to the window. Well, Chief Liu was a brave and powerful man, a tough guy at first glance; Zhuang Zhixi was a gentle man, always smiling, looking clean, and he was also talented.
He stopped at the door, coughed, and said, "How about I invite you two to come together tonight?"
Section Chief Liu: "Oh no, you're not done yet, are you? Don't give me this hypocritical thing, I won't go!"
Are you trying to bribe him? Are you? Who do you think he is?
Zhuang Zhixi also laughed: "Brother Zhou, this is really not necessary. My wife is pregnant and I have to pick her up from get off work."
Who knows if Zhou Qun is trying to plot against someone.
We have to be on guard, we have to be on guard!
When Zhou Qun saw that both of them refused, he was very dissatisfied and sighed softly from his throat.
He said: "Then next time, next time there is a chance, we will definitely go together."
Section Chief Liu: “…”
What kind of flatterer is this? He doesn't even give me a good face. Is that not enough? No wonder Zhou Qun was able to upgrade so quickly. He just sticks to people and can't be shaken off. But why does he stick to me?
He thought about it, then asked thoughtfully, "Zhou Qun, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. There's no need to use these pretentious tricks. Tell me, are you afraid that Bai Fendou will be released and retaliate against you?"
He sighed and said, "Although I don't know why you don't pursue this matter, no matter what happens in other matters, you are the victim in this matter. You have let Bai Fendou go. If he insists on not giving up, you can directly come to our security department, and we will definitely take care of this matter for you."
Zhou Qun's eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you so much, Chief Liu."
This man is not only a man, but also very responsible! His eyes were shining when he looked at Section Chief Liu. Zhuang Zhixi rubbed his arms silently and felt that he was about to get goose bumps. It was a good day and the weather was quite hot, why did he suddenly feel his scalp tingling and goose bumps all over his body?
Zhou Qun's look is so disgusting.
Even if I wasn't looking at him, I felt so disgusted that I wanted to vomit out what I had eaten at noon.
Section Chief Liu was also uncomfortable with his gaze and said, "Go and fix the wires."
Zhou Qun: "Okay."
He left happily.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…Huh!”
Section Chief Liu: “…Huh.”
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I'll leave first."
When he walked to the door, he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but tighten his lips and turned around to say, "Chief Liu, why do I feel like he's weird... You, you should also pay attention."
Section Chief Liu nodded heavily.
He is more perceptive than Zhuang Zhixi.
This person, why is he so weird?
Zhuang Zhixi did not go back to the office directly, but went to the gate to find Lao Niu. It must be said that although Uncle Lao Niu is an ordinary person, just like every ordinary person in the factory, he seems to be an extraordinary person.
He dedicated his whole life to the factory, working hard without complaint and never complaining. His son also sacrificed himself for the factory, but he also didn't complain. In his opinion, although he was sad that his son died to save the company, he couldn't blame the factory.
Zhuang Zhixi left with some respect.
He returned to the office and Sister Cui asked, "How is it?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Chief Liu refused, but recommended Uncle Niu who works at the gate to me."
He said, “I went over and had a chat with Uncle Niu.”
"Uncle Niu? Yes, Uncle Niu is also a good candidate..."
Everyone started talking about it. Zhuang Zhixi had not been working for long and did not know much about the people in the factory. When he heard everyone talking about it, he quickly took notes. Old Huang saw that he was working seriously and nodded, very appreciative.
Young people must have such a vigorous and positive spirit. It would be boring if they were doing useless things.
The day passed very quickly. Zhuang Zhixi felt that he did not do anything today. He just collected some information and it was time to get off work. Although he had just arrived at the Propaganda Department, he did not show any concern about getting off work. He would leave as soon as the bell rang.
Sister Cui: "Are you still going to pick up your wife?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, she is a pregnant woman, how can I feel at ease?"
Sister Cui is in favor of men being good to their wives. If a man is not good to his wife, what kind of man is he? She said, "Go away."
Zhuang Zhixi has been picking up Mingmei lately, so he rides to work. He rides the lady's big red Phoenix bicycle, and he is not embarrassed at all, and is very calm. It is also a coincidence that Zhuang Zhixi ran into Zhou Qun again when he came out of get off work.
Uh, why is it him again?
Seeing Zhuang Zhixi riding his bike, Zhou Qun hurried a few steps to catch up, frowned and said, "Are you going to pick up your wife? You don't have to be so nice to women. You can't spoil them. In fact, you can learn from me how to treat women. It's useless to be too nice to them."
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Zhou Qun continued: "How about we have dinner together tonight..."
Zhuang Zhixi said firmly: "No need!"
He said, "I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving now!"
He got into the car quickly, whoosh whoosh.
This Zhou Qun, why is he so weird and scary? Although Zhou Qun is usually very sinister, Zhuang Zhixi is not afraid of him. Anyway, if there is a problem, he will just deal with it. But today, Zhuang Zhixi is really a coward.
He felt that Zhou Qun was really looking for him for dinner. This was much scarier than fake affection.
Besides, Zhou Qun's eyes are also scary.
How can a grown man look at people with such a sly look? Anyway, he couldn't bear it. Zhuang Zhixi felt that he was really an incompetent person. He couldn't even resist such a little bit of gaze. Sure enough, he still needed to practice. This wouldn't work. "Wife?"
Mingmei turned around and ran over with a smile. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Oh, I'm going, don't run."
He said, "If you are in a hurry, just tell me to run."
Mingmei rolled her eyes. "I'm just having a normal pregnancy, not a panda. Can you please stop being so surprised?"
She happily pulled the man to introduce him to Zhuang Zhixi, saying, "My cousin, you haven't seen him, right?"
Mingmei's uncle lived in Jinling, and everyone had to go to work, so it was quite inconvenient for him to come over. After all, it was the 1970s, and it was rare for people to take many days off to go out of town for a relative's wedding. Not to mention such a long distance.
Take local cities and rural areas for example, some of them you may not even go to.
So Zhuang Zhixi has never seen it.
Mingmei: "My cousin is my uncle's eldest son Lan Xiang. He came to Sijiu City on a business trip this time, hehe."
Mingmei is always happy to see her relatives. She said, "Cousin, this is my man Zhuang Zhixi, who works in the publicity department of the machinery factory."
The two men quickly greeted each other. Lan Xiang said, "I'm staying at the guesthouse. I've already completed the check-in procedures. I'm going to have dinner at Grandpa's tonight."
It was his first time here and he couldn't find his grandfather's house, after all, they had just moved there.
As for his aunt's house, he hadn't been there for three or four years, and he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to find it, but he remembered his aunt's unit. Although Mingmei took over now, it would be good if he could still find her. Lan Xiang was also very familiar with people: "Hello, brother-in-law, I have heard of you for a long time. Are you the younger brother of Mingcheng's classmate? I remember you, but I don't know if you still recognize me. In fact, we have met before. Do you remember that several years ago, about ten years ago, when I was still in elementary school, my dad and I came to Sijiucheng to visit my aunt, and we went out to play together?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “……?”
I dare to ask, how old was he at that time? He smiled and said, "I was still a kid at that time, right?"
"Well, he was about three or four years old. He was so annoying and kept pestering your brother. We were planning to catch birds and you held his thigh and wanted to follow us..." Lan Xiang talked about Zhuang Zhixi's dark history.
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Oh no, it happened so long ago, do you really remember it? Obviously, this guy seems to really remember it, and he is still chattering: "You were three or four years old at that time, and you were still wearing open-crotch pants. You said we knew each other since childhood, I never thought that you would become my cousin's husband. My cousin is a very good person, you must treat her well. Otherwise, we brothers will not agree..."
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s for sure.”
Lan Xiang: "I came here this time..."
Mingmei smiled and said, "You came here just to sabotage us, right?"
Lan Xiang grabbed Mingmei and whispered, "Isn't this just to show that I know his dark history and to warn him? If he dares to treat you badly in the future, I will write down his dark history as a child and post it all over the streets. We all know it anyway."
This quiet voice is really not that quiet.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "I heard it all."
"So what? Just listen to it, then listen to it."
He said: "Don't think that my sister has no one to protect her just because our family is not here."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his lips and said, "Look at my thin arms and legs. Can I be a match for your uncle, my father-in-law?"
Lan Xiang looked up and down and said sincerely, "That's really not the case."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Isn't that it?"
He laughed. He had to admit that everyone in his wife's family was a little weird.
Is this what they call heredity?
Well, that's very possible.
At this time, Lan Xiang stopped talking to his brother-in-law. Instead, he whispered to Ming Mei, "Cousin, I heard you are pregnant. Isn't this a coincidence? I brought you a good thing."
Mingmei's eyes lit up.
Lan Xiang chuckled: "This is only for you, no one else has it."
Mingmei: “???”
She couldn't help scratching her head. Why did she feel that this sentence sounded familiar? (End of this chapter)
