Chapter 224: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Thirty-Six)
Qiao Weiguo was tricked by Old Man Qiao into going to the boiler room. At first, he was very depressed.
In his opinion, the boiler room is just a place where boilers are burned, so what future can it have?
I can’t learn the skills and I can’t manage my connections.
Every day I can only look after the boiler and get covered in dust together with the old master who is also wasting his time.
However, when Qiao Weiguo actually went to the boiler room, he realized that he was wrong.
What era is this? The 1960s!
An era that emphasizes dedication, sacrifice, and advocates "being willing to be a good worker for the children"!
Even the leaders of an organization don’t eat out every day.
Eating in the cafeteria is the way to go.
Some people are even reluctant to go to the cafeteria and bring food from home.
It’s not so difficult in the summer, as you can still eat the food you bring in the morning at noon.
But when the weather is cold, steamed buns and corn bread are hard and cold, and are difficult to swallow.
If it is the coldest time of the year, even the soup will freeze.
In order to have something hot to eat, everyone would send their lunch boxes to the boiler room.
When Qiao Weiguo went to work in the boiler room, it was late autumn and the weather was starting to get cold.
Workers from various workshops come in and out every day, and directors, leaders, etc. will occasionally show up.
Qiao Weiguo: ...
In this small boiler room, I have more opportunities to see the leaders than in the workshop! What a great place! Haha, old man Qiao thought he was "teaching" Qiao Weiguo a lesson and pushed him into a pit.
Little did they know that this was putting Qiao Weiguo, who would later be called a "social terrorist", into "heaven".
Less than two months after arriving in the boiler room, Qiao Weiguo had gotten to know all the big and small people in the machinery factory.
They also establish a relatively close relationship with the specific person they choose.
for example--
"Mr. Su, bring another box lunch."
When it was almost noon, Qiao Weiguo "respectfully" invited the master to have lunch while he watched the boiler.
Workers delivered their lunch boxes to the boiler room one after another, and Qiao Weiguo greeted them politely or enthusiastically.
Among these people, Qiao Weiguo was obviously more enthusiastic about Su Zhenhua.
"Um!"
Su Zhenhua is in his forties, with fair skin, regular features, black-framed glasses, and slightly messy short hair, but he does not look haggard or sloppy.
He is like a nobleman who is focused on technology. Even though he looks a little shabby, his eyes are filled with pure and burning light.
"Sorry to bother you, Master Qiao!"
Su Zhenhua was wearing work clothes from a machinery factory, but he looked like a fashion designer.
He has a refined temperament and is very polite to Qiao Weiguo.
"Oh, Mr. Su, you are so polite. You can just call me Xiao Qiao!"
Qiao Weiguo took the lunch box and helped put it on the pipe connected to the boiler while chatting with Su Zhenhua with a smile.
"Mr. Su, you're a little late today. Is your work not going well?"
"To be honest, I have little education, but I admire you, an elite who has talent, skills, and a passion to serve the country."
Qiao Weiguo's words were not entirely compliments.
He really admires it.
Su Zhenhua is a member of the older generation of overseas students and owns his own technical patents abroad.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they heeded the call of the motherland and returned to their impoverished country without hesitation.
Su Zhenhua also donated all of his family's properties, leaving only a house for himself to live in.
...Qiao Weiguo could not make such a sacrifice.
But he would admire those who could do it.
In addition to admiration, Qiao Weiguo also has his own little thoughts.
Su Zhenhua is truly a technical expert and a man of many talents.
Just in terms of foreign languages, he is proficient in Russian, German and English.
If I could learn a little bit from him, I would definitely benefit a lot.
Of course, the whole era was quite special, and knowing a foreign language was not necessarily a good thing.
But, this matter also depends on the person.
Su Zhenhua is a big capitalist with a flawed identity.
Qiao Weiguo is not like that. He is a poor peasant for generations, and his family background is absolutely good.
If he learns a foreign language, he might become a special talent in the machinery factory.
In addition to studying, Qiao Weiguo also knew that Su Gong had two daughters.
The eldest daughter, Suanna, is nineteen years old and is attending college.
She is both talented and beautiful, both beautiful and intelligent.
The natives of this era would look down on Suanna for her poor background.
But Qiao Weiguo, who came from the future, would not be so "short-sighted".
The daughters of capitalists are not comparable to the rich second generation and beautiful girls of later generations.
The Su family is a famous and prestigious family, and Su Anna should be considered a "daughter of a noble family"! In the future, a person with such a background will be a goddess that Qiao Weiguo can never reach.
With many little thoughts in mind, Qiao Weiguo was particularly attentive to Su Zhenhua.
Su Zhenhua is a technical geek who seems a bit out of touch with the world.
But he was not stupid and could feel Qiao Weiguo's enthusiasm.
However, Su Zhenhua did not think much about it and just thought that Qiao Weiguo was really eager for knowledge and admired talents.
For such studious people, intellectuals like Su Zhenhua all have the habit of "teaching others".
"You want to learn a foreign language?"
Su Zhenhua is pure and direct, and doesn't know how to be euphemistic.
Qiao Weiguo: ...
Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still nodded vigorously, "I want to!"
"Okay! I'll find time to teach you some. Also, I have some books and notes at home, you can also take them to read and memorize more!"
Su Zhenhua did not despise Qiao Weiguo because he was an apprentice boiler worker. Instead, he truly regarded him as a young man who loved learning.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Su!"
Qiao Weiguo thanked him repeatedly.
At noon, Su Zhenhua came to get the hot lunch box, and took advantage of the break to teach Qiao Weiguo some English.
In his later life, Qiao Weiguo went to high school and had a certain foundation in English.
So, when he was learning, he seemed to be very talented.
Su Zhenhua was very surprised to see that he could memorize the 26 letters so quickly and master some daily words - what a genius! This Xiao Qiao is actually a foreign language genius! People who like to teach others are often particularly fond of and cherish talents.
Originally, Su Zhenhua just wanted to teach him briefly, but when he saw that Qiao Weiguo was so talented, he really treated him as a student and taught him seriously and systematically.
Qiao Weiguo: ...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although he felt like he was "shooting himself in the foot", his relationship with Mr. Su became closer.
Now it has developed to the point where he can deliver lunch boxes to Su Gong and read in Su Gong’s office!
By the weekend, Qiao Weiguo even accepted an invitation from Su Gong——
"I'm off this Saturday. If you still want to learn, come to my house!"
This is the rhythm of "coming to the door"! Qiao Weiguo was ecstatic.
On Saturday, Qiao Weiguo got ready and came to the Su family's small Western-style building.
Ding Dong!
Qiao Weiguo did not knock on the door like people of that era did, but instead gently pressed the doorbell.
Soon, a slender figure came to the gate.
When he opened the door, Qiao Weiguo saw a beautiful woman.
He is about eighteen or nineteen years old and about 165cm tall.
Fair skin, delicate eyebrows and eyes.
She has a slim figure, with a nice front and a nice back.
Beauty is fine, the key is that kind of temperament, wow, it's invincible.
She was wearing a black woolen sweater and a beige plaid tweed skirt.
The skirt was above the knee, revealing a small section of the calf.
She was wearing black tights, which made her calves look even more slender.
On his feet were a pair of small black leather boots.
She looked like a socialite from a movie in the Republic of China.
Good looks, good clothes, and even better temperament! Qiao Weiguo was a little stunned, and his heart was clamoring wildly -
goddess!
This is a real goddess!
Su Anna came out to open the door when she heard the doorbell.
I thought the person coming was Sister Gu from next door, but unexpectedly, it was a strange young man.
Ahem, not many people know how to ring the doorbell these days.
Sister Gu is one of the very few people.
Now, there is one more.
"Hello! My name is Qiao Weiguo, and I'm a student of Su Gong!"
After all, Qiao Weiguo came from the future, and he has the pride and domineering attitude of a male protagonist.
After a brief moment of distraction, he regained his composure and calmness in the shortest possible time.
He tilted his face slightly to reveal the most charming angle.
"Oh! You are Qiao Weiguo! Hello! I am Su Anna, the daughter of Su Gong!"
Su Anna is also a person who has seen the world, although she felt a little embarrassed by the burning gaze just now.
She couldn't help but blush on her pretty face.
But she did not lower her head or be at a loss. Instead, she held her head high and chest out as usual and greeted Qiao Weiguo politely.
"What is a real lady? This is it!"
"Compared with this real goddess, those internet celebrities who sell the image of white, rich and beautiful women on the Internet are nothing!"
"And the most important point is that Miss Su's appearance is completely natural. She has never had her eyes opened, or double eyelids cut, or had any injections, and she has never worn heavy makeup or used beauty filters."
The villain in Qiao Weiguo’s heart was talking nonsense.
Qiao Weiguo also suddenly realized the greatest benefit of this era——
No plastic surgery, no disguise, and no photo fraud.
The beauties of this era are the most real and simple.
Moreover, there is no N-hand goods.
As a traditional male chauvinist, Qiao Weiguo has a virgin complex in his bones.
What can I do——
Haha, it’s better to travel through time! Qiao Weiguo was emitting excitement all over his body, and his eyes looking at Su Anna were a little aggressive.
Su Anna: ...This person's eyes are so rude! However, this inexplicable domineering attitude doesn't seem to be so annoying.
Su Anna didn't even realize it, but she began to become unlike herself.
If it were her original nature, she would not like such impolite opposite sex.
Well, to be exact, she doesn't like macho men like Qiao Weiguo.
In addition to personality, what’s more important is - face!
Qiao Weiguo's appearance conforms to the mainstream aesthetic of this era, but does not meet Su Anna's requirements.
Suanna is a very petty bourgeois woman who appreciates the ultimate beauty.
For example, Sister Gu next door, and her first love.
However, at this moment, Su Anna inexplicably felt a sense of security in Qiao Weiguo.
"Ding! The side quest has been triggered!"
