Chapter 200: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (XII)
Strongman?
Why does he look so familiar?
Old Man Qiao felt something flash through his mind.
It was just that the speed was too fast and he couldn't catch it at all.
Shaking his head, Old Man Qiao didn't think any more about it. He casually exchanged a few words with the security guard and other old colleagues, then walked into the factory.
"This old man Qiao, could it be that he still doesn't know?"
As the guard watched Old Man Qiao leave, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Humph! You have been calculating all your life, but sooner or later you will suffer a great loss!"
An old employee who once dealt with Old Man Qiao snorted coldly, but in his heart he was eagerly waiting to see the joke.
"What's wrong with these people? They look at me weirdly?"
"Has everything that happened in the compound been leaked out?"
"Humph! No matter how ridiculous it is, it's my family affair. Even the boss can't interfere!"
Old man Qiao knew that he was in the wrong and that he would definitely be criticized, but he had already fallen below the bottom line and had no scruples anymore.
With his neck stiff and chest puffed out, old man Qiao's "rebellious" spirit came up.
Not only did he ignore the strange looks from the factory workers, he went to the office and faced Director Feng's reminder with a firm attitude.
"That's right! Jianguo's job will be taken over by his brother Qiao Tongsuo."
"...Alright, alright, Xiao Feng, I understand the truth! But every family has its own problems. You should just follow the rules."
Old man Joe was very impatient.
These people are so idle. They are all born in the Year of the Dog. Why are they meddling in other people's business?
Director Feng: ...You are such a scoundrel, you are really ungrateful and don't know how to appreciate a good person.
Originally, considering that both father and son were colleagues, Director Feng kindly reminded Old Man Qiao -
Don’t worry about adopting a nephew. Having a powerful daughter-in-law is better than anything else.
As a result, Old Man Qiao can't tell good from bad!
Director Feng was so angry that he laughed, "Okay! Okay! I'll write you a note!"
If you don't listen to my advice, you will regret it! Director Feng took out the pen from his shirt pocket, unscrewed the pen cap, and quickly wrote a letter of introduction.
With a snap, the seal was stamped.
"Okay! Let Qiao Tongsuo go to the production brigade to handle the formalities."
"Xiao Feng, thank you!"
Old man Qiao happily took the letter and thanked him in a not-very-sincere manner.
He blew on it, and after the red clay mark of the seal dried, he carefully folded it up.
"Come on! It's all done! Xiao Feng, my family will have a wedding banquet in a few days, don't forget to come and drink!"
While putting the letter away, Old Man Qiao greeted Director Feng.
Director Feng: ...If I remember correctly, your family’s Jianguo’s birthday hasn’t arrived yet.
The only biological son died less than a month ago, and the family is planning to hold a "wedding banquet"? This person is so vicious and cruel!
Don’t make friends with them, at least not make close friends with them.
"Hey! Definitely!"
Director Feng spoke politely, but in his heart he had already crossed out Old Man Qiao's name.
…
Gu Qingcheng took Qiao Qiao and left the compound, but did not rush to the station.
She went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
After the original owner married into the Qiao family, her father-in-law was domineering and overbearing, and her mother-in-law was sarcastic and mean.
This male and female couple simply refused to allow the original head of the household to take charge.
Even his own son Qiao Jianguo had to hand over all his salary and then ask for pocket money from his mother-in-law.
Not to mention the original owner's cheap daughter-in-law who had just married into the family.
When I go to buy soy sauce or vegetables, my mother-in-law gives me a fixed amount of money.
Even if the original owner wanted to take the opportunity to save some pocket money, it would be unlikely.
So much so that when the original owner had her period and needed to buy toilet paper, she had to ask her mother-in-law for money with a blushing face.
Fortunately, Qiao Jianguo loved his wife, and the original owner also coaxed her husband very well.
Qiao Jianguo felt sorry for his wife who couldn't even afford a bottle of cold cream, so he would take on some private jobs besides work.
Or take some scraps, make some small gadgets, and secretly exchange them for money on the black market.
Qiao Jianguo is timid and doesn't dare to go too far.
But, little by little, it adds up to a lot.
He can earn three to five dollars every month.
He gave all the money to the original owner.
The original owner was a woman who lived a life of ease and she would not spend money recklessly even if she had it.
She would buy herself some vanishing cream, or some better toilet paper.
But he would also give Qiao Jianguo a few cents so that he could buy a pack of cigarettes or go out for dinner with his colleagues.
This is more caring and thoughtful than Ma, the biological mother.
Qiao Jianguo increasingly felt that his wife was the one who cared about her.
He worked harder and harder to make extra money.
The original owner's small treasury was also growing day by day.
Last night, when Gu Qingcheng went to pack clothes, she followed the original owner's memory, removed a blue brick from under the bed, and found a round tin biscuit box.
There were small changes of money, food coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons and other things in the box.
Gu Qingcheng roughly counted the money and found that there were more than 120 yuan! In four years, relying on Qiao Jianguo's secret private work, it was not easy to save this money.
The original owner was really a good householder and she really wanted to live a down-to-earth life with Qiao Jianguo.
What a pity——
In addition to this private money, Gu Qingcheng also asked Old Man Qiao for half of Qiao Jianguo's pension and funeral expenses.
There are also nearly three hundred yuan.
Plus the donations from neighbors that Fang Yaozhong sent.
Gu Qingcheng already had five hundred and fifty yuan in her hand.
In this era, five or six hundred yuan is definitely a considerable sum of money.
If there are special circumstances at home, you can buy a job quota.
Gu Qingcheng deposited most of the money in the bank and only kept twenty or thirty yuan on her.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, I bought two bags of snacks, two bottles of wine, and some colorful fruit candies.
Carrying a full net bag of things, Gu Qingcheng finally pulled Qiao Qiao onto the long-distance bus.
The car was very crowded, with people packed tightly together.
It's almost autumn and the weather is starting to get cooler.
But the car felt like a steamer.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was crowded, hot, and filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells - sweat, fart, foot odor, and chicken and duck shit.
Gu Qingcheng was used to being noble and had never suffered any hardship in the previous novel world.
As soon as she stepped into the carriage, she was almost dizzy by the stench that hit her in the face.
However, although Gu Qingcheng is noble, she is also a tough and strong person.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her nausea, without showing any disgust on her face or in her eyes.
On the contrary, it fits the original owner's personality very well - a rural girl who came to the city.
She was curious and proud about riding in a car.
You can't say she's arrogant, but with her head held high and her chest puffed out, she acts like a hen.
"laugh!"
The sound of opening a soda bottle was heard from the car seat behind me.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Oh no, she was being laughed at for being so petty.
She did not look around inconspicuously, but turned her head and glanced at the person behind her.
The original owner was indeed a person with the inferiority complex unique to rural people, but she was also a straightforward and outgoing person.
After staying in the city for four or five years, I have become a little arrogant.
When she hears someone laughing at her, she doesn't curl up like a bullied wife, but instead tries to hold on.
"I'm sorry, my sister is young, she didn't mean to make fun of you."
Of the two girls in the back seat, the older one hurriedly apologized when she saw Gu Qingcheng looking back.
She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair tied into two braids that rested on her chest.
He was wearing a white shirt and a gray Lenin suit, with delicate features, and he exuded the temperament of a well-educated person.
It’s hard to say about his background, but he must have been well brought up.
Gu Qingcheng did not hide her scrutinizing gaze.
Just looking at each other carelessly.
The other girl, the one who made the sneering sound, looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Dress more "Western style".
It's already autumn, but she's still wearing a white shirt with small floral prints.
Even if it's long sleeves, you should wear a jacket.
But that's how she wears it, highlighting her slender waist and graceful figure.
"Sister, why am I so young?"
The girl Braji was a little dissatisfied, and she pouted and acted coquettishly with the girl in Lenin costume.
However, when she looked up, she happened to see Gu Qingcheng's face.
"Ah! You're so pretty!"
"There is a beauty in the north, she is independent and secluded from the world, and one glance from her will captivates the whole city..."
Although the Braji girl is delicate and likes to laugh at others, she is a lively person.
Moreover, you can tell at first glance that he is well-educated.
He started reciting poetry as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sister, look, isn't this what the ancients called a beauty that could topple a country or a city?"
What a beauty, a real living beauty!
There were little stars in the eyes of the Braji girl.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I thought he was a snob who looked down on others, but I didn’t expect that he was actually a little tsundere and a veteran face lover!
Gu Qingcheng showed a puzzled expression at the right moment, "What beauty? What does it mean to be so beautiful that the whole country can be overwhelmed?"
She looks like a pure country girl who has never seen the world and has never been to school.
The peerless beauty instantly turned into a country girl.
Su Anqi felt that her filter was shattered! The girl in Lenin suit knew her sister's character. Seeing her like this, she quietly pulled her sleeves, then smiled and said to Gu Qingcheng: "Comrade, my sister has no ill intentions!"
"She was praising you for your good looks, saying you are a stunning beauty."
After hearing the explanation of the girl in Lenin costume, Gu Qingcheng looked like an uneducated village woman, with a smug smile on her face, but she still had to be modest: "Oh, I'm embarrassed to call you 'the most beautiful woman in the world'."
"But I am indeed the best-looking girl in our village."
Sisters Su Anqi and Su Anna: …
He said he was sorry, but he was actually full of pride.
This person——
"Sister, you have such a good personality!"
Su Anqi, wearing a floral blouse, smiled with her eyes curved, without any irony or ridicule.
Woohoo, she really thinks the elder sister is good: she is so beautiful! Such a beautiful face that seems to have walked out of ancient poems is a joy to look at.
Who would care that she was an uneducated and ignorant village woman? This time, Su Anna, who was dressed like a Lenin, did not blame her sister, but nodded in agreement.
This lesbian is so pretty!
