On Monday, Su Dazhi got up before dawn. His sister was going to work at the Municipal Party Committee, which was a prestigious place, so he and Zhi were responsible for escorting her. Today, Zhi wasn't home, so it was his turn to escort her. He had to ride his bike early to take his sister to the Municipal Party Committee, and then from there to the factory.
Su Yu also made a point of tidying herself up. She wore her Lenin suit and tied her hair into a low ponytail. To make herself look more energetic, she even endured the pain of shaving off the stray hairs on her eyebrows.
Su Lin had already prepared breakfast: an egg and a bowl of congee. Su Yu drank the congee, ate the egg, and then left with her bag.
Su Dazhi shoveled a few mouthfuls into his mouth and followed behind, saying, "Sis, wait for me to push the cart."
He quickly went inside and pushed the car out.
Su Yu stood outside the door waiting for him, lecturing him as she spoke, "A grown man like you, dawdling like this. Dazhi, you need to be quicker. You're lucky you've met me. If you were someone's driver, you wouldn't last long. The boss has already left, and the car hasn't arrived yet. Isn't this just causing delays?"
Su Dazhi quickly helped her into the car.
Just as he was about to leave after seeing Su Yu get into the car, he saw someone riding a bicycle towards his house.
Upon seeing who it was, Su Dazhi was startled and almost lost control of the car. Su Yu jumped out of the back seat in fright, asking, "Dazhi, what are you doing?"
"Sister, Secretary Song is here..." Su Dazhi said quietly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's ears twitched, and when she turned around, she saw that it really was Secretary Song.
Thinking of Secretary Song's attempt to trick her, Su Yu coughed and stood up straight, "Secretary Song, what brings you here so early in the morning? I was just about to report to the Municipal Party Committee."
Secretary Song stopped the bicycle with one foot on the ground and said seriously, "I happen to be going that way, so I'll take you to the Municipal Party Committee together, so you won't get lost."
“Yes, I know you. I’ve been there a few times,” Su Yu quickly replied.
"...Don't you know how to ride a bicycle? I'll take you."
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, my younger brother was just about to take me there."
Secretary Song glanced at Su Dazhi, who lowered his head. Secretary Song smiled and said, "Your brother has to go to work. It's inconvenient for him to take you to the Municipal Party Committee and then come back. I'll take you there instead. Besides, we'll be working together from now on, so I should help you out with this little favor. Mayor Qiu often teaches us to be friendly and helpful to each other."
Pretending, still pretending.
Su Yu shook her head. "It's not good for people to misunderstand. It's fine on the street, but if we go to the municipal party committee, so many people will see me riding in your car. It'll be hard to explain later. It'll have a bad influence."
“I don’t mind,” Secretary Song said.
Su Yu said awkwardly, "Secretary Song, but I mind. I'm a woman."
"..."
Secretary Song sighed and said earnestly, "No problem, you ride your bike, I'll hold the handlebars for you. Comrade Su, you and I will both learn to ride bikes sooner or later. I'll just help you out while I'm at it." Then she looked at Su Dazhi and said, "Little brother, are you..."
Su Dazhi: "..." He blushed and looked at his sister, then lowered his head, "I'll listen to my sister."
Secretary Song: "..."
Although satisfied with Su Dazhi's answer, Su Yu was still furious at his cowardly behavior. What was there to be afraid of? Why did he suddenly become speechless? If all the men in the country were like Su Dazhi, would we ever be liberated?
"Dazhi, get in the car, take me to the municipal party committee. How can we trouble Secretary Song? You can't slack off," Su Yu insisted. These are all factory workers here; if he gets in Secretary Song's car, wouldn't he be taking advantage of the situation?
"Okay." Su Dazhi resignedly held the bicycle, pushed off with his foot, and started pedaling.
Rejected again, Secretary Song took a deep breath and followed.
Isn't that right? As long as Zhu rides his bicycle to pick up female comrades, not a single one of them is unhappy or upset.
Men with bicycles are very successful when pursuing women.
He glanced at the bicycle Su Yu was sitting on, and immediately felt terrible.
That's the key point: she's a woman who owns a car!
Once the car was on the road, Su Yu began to speak sweetly to Secretary Song, as usual, "Secretary Song, thank you so much for your kindness. However, I can't let my brother develop a lazy nature. Once a person becomes lazy, there's no saving him."
Su Dazhi smiled憨厚ly at Secretary Song.
Secretary Song disliked him and narrowed her eyes at him.
Su Dazhi: "..." He already knew that Secretary Song definitely didn't like him and didn't like the look of him...
...
When they arrived at the municipal party committee, it was still early. Su Yu got out of the car, and Su Dazhi immediately rode off on his bicycle as if fleeing, without even saying goodbye.
Secretary Song got out of the car and pushed her bicycle, following Su Yu into the yard. "Look at my brother, he's so flustered, all because he's going to work. It's such a hassle. There's a car readily available, so it's better to take it."
Su Yu reminded her, "Secretary Song, my younger brother Su Dazhi is twenty-five years old this year, one year older than you. It's not appropriate for you to call him your younger brother."
Secretary Song: "..." He calmly parked the car in the yard, but his heart was pounding. He smiled and said, "I'm used to hearing you call me that. Su Dazhi, right? I'll remember that. It's a good name. It means 'no ambition'... no, it means 'ambition'. It's a very good name."
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, you two don't get to see each other very often anyway. By the way, Secretary Song, where am I reporting for duty today? Am I going to see Mayor Qiu?"
