Chapter 7 Overhand Throw



He didn't know what time it was. Hu Xiaoman thought about it and went to take a look inside the house, but to his surprise, there was no one inside.

The clock showed that it was already half past nine in the morning. She took out her watch, adjusted it, and put it in her pocket.

The space is still, unless you use a mechanical watch, it will stop.

It seems that buying a watch needs to be put on the agenda, but she has no money and no ticket. She will have to wait until she saves enough money, but that will take some time.

Lock the door when you go out. Everyone in the family has the key, so there is no need to worry about no one being able to get in.

Walking on the road, Hu Xiaoman looked around curiously.

The last time I was discharged from the hospital, I felt uncomfortable on the way and had no mood to enjoy the scenery.

Looking at it today, there really isn't anything to see.

This place is like the urban villages and large towns of later generations.

After walking a short distance, she arrived at the gate of Chuncheng Sugar Factory.

This is where the original owner worked.

Because it is working hours, there is no one at the door, and there is a security guard reading a newspaper in the small pavilion.

She just looked for a while and prepared to leave.

But before she left, someone stopped her.

"Comrade Xiaoman? Are you here to see me?" Liang Jie ran over with a happy look on his face, sweat on his forehead.

Hu Xiaoman frowned, feeling that this person seemed to be seriously ill.

Didn't I make myself clear yesterday? Why are you doing this again?

"Comrade Liang Jie, please respect yourself." She looked at the person opposite coldly and said, "Please call me Comrade Hu. I don't know you well."

Then she turned and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liang Jie grabbed her wrist. Hu Xiaoman suddenly became angry, grabbed his hand, and threw him over her shoulder.

Liang Jie was stunned at the time. He grabbed Hu Xiaoman in a hurry, but he actually felt a little regretful.

After all, it is not good for men and women to quarrel at this time. Although he likes Hu Xiaoman, it is definitely not okay to do this.

However, this over-the-shoulder throw made him unable to recover.

What's going on?

Hu Xiaoman snorted coldly, "I'm telling you, I was being polite to you before, but if you push your luck again, don't blame me for being rude!"

She hates people who eat from their bowls and look at the pots.

Besides, Liang Jie is not her type, so the two of them are simply impossible.

Liang Jie sat on the ground blankly, watching her leave, feeling a little scared.

I've never seen Hu Xiaoman get physical. He's quiet and reserved, so how could he suddenly become like this? He even fell down!

Not far away, Huang Xuxian slapped his thigh and laughed, "This is really funny. Did you see that? That little girl threw that old man to the ground!"

Just now he was still wondering whether he should go and help.

But now it seems that they are not needed at all.

The short-haired man next to him had no expression on his face. He glanced at Hu Xiaoman's back and said, "Go in quickly. I need to go to bed soon."

Huang Xu curled his lips and rolled his eyes, "Men like you are so boring. All you do is sleep and work."

Hu Xiaoman left the sugar factory and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although this is a city, in her opinion, it is no different from a town in later generations.

There are slogans written on the walls of the streets, and the main street looks pretty good.

In addition to the supply and marketing cooperative, this street also has grain stores, grocery stores, and a post office.

There is also a department store, which looks newer than other stores.

Although it doesn't look very good, it is developing now and will become the city center and commercial street in the future.

Hu Xiaoman thought about it and realized that his home was still on the outskirts, and he estimated that after it developed, it would become a residential area.

It seems that buying a house is also a top priority!

She didn't want to live in a place with so many people like the Hu family. There were too many people and eyes, and she was an "outsider".

If a flaw is accidentally revealed one day, it will be a serious matter!

Although Chuncheng is not a big city in the Northeast, it has many large industrial factories.

It will develop in the future. Today’s steel mills and some automobile factories are popular units, and it’s difficult to get in even if you want to.

However, the sugar factory where Hu Xiaoman works now is also very good, with good benefits, and many people want to get in but cannot.

The reason she was able to come in before was because of Hu Xiaokang, and the couple even had a fight over this.

You have to know that my third sister-in-law's unit is ordinary, and with such a job, she doesn't think about her wife, but only thinks about her sister.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable if this happened to them, because Du Fang had given the original owner a hard time because of this.

As soon as she reached the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Du Fang looking around furtively, and then entered a small alley.

Hu Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat. Oh shit, could she be having an affair?

Then she rejected it herself.

Although Du Fang did not get along with her, he was still a trustworthy person.

After thinking about it, she followed and prepared to take a look.

No matter what, we are a family. If you don’t look at others, you have to look at Hu Xiaokang. He is very nice to the original owner.

After following them, Hu Xiaoman discovered that there were actually a lot of people here.

Everyone was carrying baskets or sacks, and trading in twos and threes.

This is a free market?

She also didn't expect that even with the supply and marketing cooperatives, people would still trade things outside.

Du Fang was holding a food coupon and exchanging it for a cloth bag of things from someone.

Although I didn't see what was inside, it looked like food.

Hu Xiaoman recalled the original owner's memory. This place is collectively called the black market, and transactions are free.

The control from above is not strict now, and everyone turns a blind eye.

After all, life has not been easy for everyone in the past two years, so things are much more relaxed.

After taking a look, she left.

No matter what, this is someone else's business, and she just came over to take a look out of curiosity.

In the evening, Hu Xiaoman had dinner with his family and then went to bed.

After two days of rest, her vacation was running out.

You still have to go to work, making a living is the most important thing.

What's more, Hu Qinghai promised her that he would give her part of her salary to keep, so she would have money to earn.

Thinking about the things in the space, she actually didn't lack the money, but she didn't have a proper job. Everyone thought that there was something wrong with this person.

Besides, in a few years, all the unemployed people will have to go to the countryside, and she doesn't want to go.

It’s not that she can’t endure hardship, but she hopes to make a difference in the factory.

She can contribute anywhere, and she likes food, especially sweet things.

She also wanted to work in the sugar factory.

Since you have to work anyway, why not choose a career you like?

Hu Xiaoman was now in front of the gate of the Baishi Sugar Factory. He pulled his gray work clothes and strode in.

Everyone's faces looked energetic and positive.

Although supplies are scarce now, the morale is good and everyone believes that better days are ahead.

As a person who has experienced this, Hu Xiaoman also believes it!
