"If you really want to learn, I'll take you to Gushan Commune and find you a master to be an apprentice."
"Really?" Luan Feng's expression was a little off. Shouldn't she be overjoyed? But what was going on with those watery eyes? Was she about to cry?
"Wan Feng! You are so nice to me." Wan Feng was still surprised that Luan Feng could say such sad words.
"Go away, stop being so affectionate. I'm still here."
"Humph! You really have a rock-head."
Who has a stone head? I don’t have a stone head.
Going home for dinner and practicing boxing by the river is Wan Feng’s standard evening routine now.
Lying on the beach at night, Wan Feng rested his hands on his pillow and looked at the starry sky. The beach beneath him was still warm from the scorching sun. A refreshing breeze blew over the river, caressing Wan Feng's skin like a gentle hand.
He had just practiced a set of kicks and two sets of wrestling, then ran to the river to wash and then lay here enjoying the quiet summer night in the countryside.
Without Luan Feng messing around, the world is truly peaceful.
It has been two years since Zhang Hai went to Dongdan. He went with Wan Feng's uncle Zhu Ping and Liang Wan. I don't know if the equipment has been purchased yet.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
Take Luan Feng to Gushan Commune in the morning to try our luck, and then go to Zhang Guangpu's house in the afternoon?
Yes! I'll go to Zhang Guangpu's house this afternoon and practice wrestling with him. Practice alone is useless.
It's another morning, the sky is clear and cloudless, a good day to go out.
Wan Feng pushed his bicycle out of the house and saw Luan Feng, who was dressed up, at the door of Lao Li's house.
Luan Feng was wearing a light blue dress with flowers and light grey pants.
The originally fiery person actually gave Wan Feng the feeling of a violet blooming in spring.
It’s a disaster for the country and the people!
Seeing Wan Feng's eyes scanning her, Luan Feng said shyly, "Does it look good?"
Wan Feng nodded: "Not bad! It looks good."
In an instant, Luan Feng seemed to be struck by great happiness, and the flowers in her heart began to bloom.
It's so hard to hear a word of praise from this bastard, but the next moment...
"But you're dressed so beautifully, aren't you planning to hook up with someone?"
The happiness in Luan Feng's heart turned into anger in an instant: "Can I seduce you?"
"You didn't even let a child go. You're worse than a beast." Wan Feng said something that drove Luan Feng crazy.
Because of this sentence, Luan Feng, who was sitting on the shelf along the way, stretched out her claws and pinched Wan Feng from time to time.
When we arrived at Gushan Commune, it was already around noon, and the supply and marketing cooperative and the trade warehouse were already open for business.
Wan Feng first led Luan Feng into the trading warehouse.
In the 1980s, the trading warehouse was a social commercial network, and its nature was exactly the same as that of a supply and marketing cooperative. In addition to selling goods, it also had clothing stores, watch repair shops, car repair shops, and so on.
There were three sewing machines and four women working in the garment shop of the Gushan Commune Trade Warehouse.
Wan Feng and Luan Feng came to their counter.
A woman in her forties who was operating a sewing machine looked up and saw that they were two children, but she didn't take it seriously.
"Auntie, are you accepting apprentices in your garment shop?" Wan Feng asked with a smile.
The woman looked at Wan Feng doubtfully: "You want to learn how to make clothes?"
Wan Feng pointed at Luan Feng beside him and said, "It's not me who wants to learn, it's her."
The woman looked at Luan Feng: "Oh! How old is he?"
"Fifteen." Luan Feng answered honestly.
"Where do you live?"
"Hou Hou."
"The one on the east bank of the river?"
From this location of Gushan Commune, it can be seen that the Jiangwei Brigade is in the Gushan direction.
"yes."
"We have enough people in our clothing shop and we don't want to take on any apprentices."
Wan Feng almost choked on his breath. "If you're not going to accept me as a disciple, why are you asking all this nonsense? It's a waste of emotion."
Wan Feng pulled Luan Feng out of the trading warehouse. There was no need to stay here if the other party didn't want to accept him as a disciple.
The clothing stall in the supply and marketing cooperative is much larger than the one in the trade warehouse. It has five sewing machines in total, but there are only four people working there, just like in the trade warehouse.
Wan Feng thinks there is a way.
But this time Wan Feng did not ask rashly but went to find someone first.
He has some acquaintances in the supply and marketing cooperative, and Master Han, the car mechanic, is one of them.
Wan Feng bought two packs of Diehua cigarettes at the supply and marketing cooperative and went into the repair shop.
"Hello, Master Han!"
Master Han sat on the chair and majestically directed his two apprentices to work just like last time. When he saw Wan Feng come in, the majesty on his face immediately disappeared.
"Here comes the boy."
Wan Feng quickly threw a box of cigarettes over, and then threw another box of cigarettes to Master Han's two apprentices.
The two guys helped a lot in repairing his bicycle last time, and Wan Feng had a good impression of them.
"Hey, what are you doing here again? Is your car broken down?"
"No, I want to ask Master Han for a favor, is that okay?"
"Come and listen."
"I'd like Master Han to ask if the clothing store at your supply and marketing cooperative is accepting apprentices?"
"A clothing store? I don't know."
"Can you ask her? My cousin has given up studying and wants to learn how to make clothes."
Master Han thought for a moment and said readily, "That's a good thing. A fortune is worth more than a skill. No problem. I'll go ask for you."
Then Master Han stood up and said: "Why don't you guys go and take a look too."
Wan Feng thought about it and followed Master Han into the supply and marketing cooperative with Luan Feng. After entering the cooperative, Wan Feng asked Luan Feng to follow Master Han to the garment shop first, while he ran to the fruit section and spent three cents to pick out the biggest watermelon. He asked the fruit waiter to cut it open with a knife and carried it to the garment shop.
Wan Feng believed that asking someone to do something for you without any help would only make you feel insecure. Although people in this period were still more principled, as the saying goes, "one should be grateful to the person who helped you and to the person who gave you a gift." If you have a gift to pave the way, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Even if it fails, it can be regarded as handing over the person, who may come in handy at some point. Taking a step back, even if the task is not accomplished and the person is not handed over, it is just a loss of a watermelon.
From a distance, I saw Master Han and a woman in her fifties gesturing and talking about something.
Wan Feng came in front of Master Han and the woman, put the watermelon on a chair, broke it into two halves and placed them in front of Master Han and the woman.
"Master Han, and this auntie, it's hot, have a piece of watermelon first."
Master Han took the watermelon without hesitation and started to eat it. But the woman didn't take it: "How can this be so embarrassing?"
"It's okay. Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship. A piece of watermelon is nothing. Auntie, take it."
The woman took the watermelon that Wan Feng handed over to her.
This woman was obviously the head of the clothing store. The fact that she took the call indicated that things were going well.
"Aunts and sisters, please put down your work for now and come and eat some watermelon. It won't delay your work. Eating watermelon will cool you down in the heat and give you more energy to work."
The other three people in the garment shop, a middle-aged man and two young men, were amused by Wan Feng's words.
