Chapter 1919
The summer in Lin City was hot and muggy, and the fan provided no cooling effect. Her blue factory uniform, soaked with sweat, clung to her body, wrinkled and clinging to her body, making it hard to breathe. Xu Shanshan quietly tugged at the hem of her clothes, pulling them closed.
The loose clothes stuck to her chest and waist, making her figure look too charming and hot.
The plug-in workshop is considered one of the easier processes in the TV factory's production line, so it's mostly filled with lesbians. But don't be fooled by the fact that they're all lesbians; their casual lewd talk is truly unbearable.
Nowadays, due to raw material supply issues, the workshop isn't always busy. Team Leader Yan took inventory and asked purchasing for delivery dates for each component. The total timeframe was surprisingly generous. Therefore, after completing that urgent order, the workload has been significantly reduced.
When people have free time, they talk more.
It all comes down to the educated youth (zhiqing). After more than two decades, the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" movement officially ended. Furthermore, policies for educated youth returning to the city were relaxed. However, this loosening of policies, when applied to small families, actually caused numerous conflicts.
At this moment, someone asked, "Qin Sisi, I heard that your second brother and his wife are back? Is your second sister-in-law interested in your job?"
Qin Sisi had a hot temper. She said angrily, "I passed the exam to get in. Ha, you want to take my job? No way."
"If you ask me, you'll get married sooner or later. It's not easy for your brother to be away from home for over ten years. Your family owes him something anyway. If all else fails, you can even sell your job to your brother."
Xu Shanshan listened silently. It had nothing to do with her, but someone wanted to talk to her and deliberately asked her, "Shanshan, do you think what your aunt said is right? How wonderful it would be for a girl to get married and enjoy a good life? Working in a factory is so tiring, hot in the summer and cold in the winter."
Oh, is there something else going on? He's trying to point it at her!
"Aunt An, you're asking the wrong person. After all, the entire factory knows that Fang Zhiwen transferred my job to me. If staying at home is all about enjoying life, then I think second brother Qin Sisi should enjoy it as well. After all, he's worked so hard for so many years, hasn't he?"
Qin Sisi laughed heartily, clasping her hands together and smiling. "That's right, whoever wants to enjoy themselves can enjoy themselves. Anyway, I was born to be a hard worker. I love going to work and counting money." As she said this, she tilted her head to glance at Xu Shanshan and suddenly said, "You are different from ordinary village girls."
Qin Sisi has a cousin who is from the countryside. She is timid and roundabout in her words and deeds, and is particularly petty.
Everyone in the factory was saying that Xu Shanshan's family lived in very difficult conditions, but no one expected that what she said and did would be so pleasing to people.
From that day on, Qin Sisi took the initiative to invite Xu Shanshan to eat and go to the bathroom together, and even taught her how to be lazy and pass the buck. Xu Shanshan found it funny, and felt that working in the factory was not much different from working in the village.
When eating from the big pot, her father was the number one laziness.
"Hey, Qin Sisi, come here." The two were chatting and laughing while holding their bowls of rice when they saw Qin Sisi being pulled aside by a female comrade with short hair. They were not far away, and Xu Shanshan could hear their conversation.
"Why are you so close to her? Are you crazy? Don't you hate her the most? But she is married to Fang Zhiwen."
"What's the big deal? Xu Shanshan and I got to know each other through fighting."
The girl obviously didn't believe it and frowned, "Don't mess around. Fang Zhiwen is not someone you can easily mess with."
Qin Sisi rolled her eyes and angrily said, "Bah, who do you take me for?" With a flick of her braid, she sat down across from Xu Shanshan and said bluntly, "Fang Zhiwen is good-looking and has good conditions, so I had some thoughts about him at first. But it was just a thought. I can't stand his bad temper."
"Bad temper?"
"Oh, well, it seems Fang Zhiwen has a particularly good temper when it comes to you. You don't know that he is a well-known second-generation rich man in our factory. He looks down on people like this." Qin Sisi imitated Fang Zhiwen's previous behavior, looking down at others as if she was so great.
Xu Shanshan found it funny and couldn't help laughing. She never thought Fang Zhiwen would be such a person. To be honest, she didn't find him annoying, but rather very lively.
"What else?" Xu Shanshan asked curiously.
"Tsk tsk, love really makes people blind. Even after all this, you're still smiling. It's nothing special, just a lavish spender and a total ruthless worker. Like, hard-to-hear. And he's really changed now. I almost can't recognize him."
"Alas, married men are just like everyone else."
Speaking of this, Qin Sisi felt particularly regretful. Fang Zhiwen used to be so handsome, with bell-bottom pants, batwing shirt, Warrior shoes, and sunglasses. His hair was also beautifully combed, all slicked back, with a few strands occasionally frizzing on top of his head or hanging in front of his forehead. He was really handsome.
Nowadays, I wear white shirt and black pants all day long, which is really boring.
After getting home from get off work, Xu Shanshan looked at Fang Zhiwen from left to right, then pointed at the radio he was disassembling and asked, "Is this what you used to carry when you went ice skating?"
"Ahem." Fang Zhiwen choked on his own saliva. He asked in surprise, "Who told you that?"
"Who in the factory doesn't know about this?" Peng Shuya was knitting and felt a little amused. This brat had a red face and was still shy?
Xu Shanshan opened her bright eyes and asked curiously, "Do you still have the old clothes? What did they look like?"
"I threw them all away." He threw them away after he was reborn.
"Yes, I picked it up." Peng Shuya said slowly.
"That's great, Zhiwen, try it on and see for yourself."
Fang Zhiwen really couldn't stand his wife's cute eyes and soft and coquettish tone. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still dressed himself up nicely, combed his hair with mousse, and deliberately put his hands in his pockets to act cool when going downstairs.
Then he slid in front of Xu Shanshan, twisted the temples of his glasses with his fingers, moved them up and down, and smiled at Xu Shanshan with his big white teeth.
"Hi, hi, wife?"
Xu Shanshan quickly woke up from her daze. She swallowed quietly and said softly, "Strange, it's very beautiful."
These bell-bottom pants were tight on the top and loose on the bottom, and she didn't know where to put her eyes.
Fang Zhiwen, however, had a bad idea when he saw Xu Shanshan's flushed face. He deliberately dressed up like this and played with her for most of the night. A few days later, he got a white coat from somewhere and played with her for most of the night again.
Xu Shanshan was resting that day, and Fang Zhiwen suddenly became interested again.
Whether in her past life or this one, Shanshan has lived a very tight life. While striving for progress is certainly a good thing, one should also learn to enjoy life beyond making money.
So, as soon as they took a break, Fang Zhiwen rushed into the shopping mall with Xu Shanshan. Seeing him spending money like water, Xu Shanshan asked in surprise, "Didn't you hand in your money? Where did you get the money?"
"Cousin Yang Jian asked me to record a batch of tapes a while ago, and I just gave him the share yesterday."
Xu Shanshan knew that Yang Jian and Fang Zhiwen had tinkered with the radio together. They had added accessories and built a recording function.
When it was just done, Fang Zhiwen took Xu Shanshan to record a lot of conversations, and the two even sang a song together.
"Can tapes sell for so much money?"
We've only been shopping for a short while and have already spent over a hundred yuan.
"Tapes alone definitely won't work. The main thing is the content inside. Yang Jian and I found a female student, and we recently recorded the English textbook again, and added Chinese and English explanations." This matter had just started, and Fang Zhiwen was embarrassed to tell Xu Shanshan.
He had also taken advantage of his rebirth. While there were teaching aids available, there were no English audio tapes on the market. It just so happened that Fang Zhiwen was good at speaking, Yang Jian was good at grammar, and the female student had excellent study skills. The three of them got together to test the waters, and unexpectedly, they fetched a good price on their first try.
Of course, Yang Jian’s cousin Zhu Shuai is also capable.
“Is English important?”
"Well, our country will have more and more exchanges with foreign countries in the future, and mastering foreign languages is essential."
"Are your tapes difficult? Can someone without basic knowledge learn them?"
Fang Zhiwen nodded and said, "Yes, it starts with the 26 letters. Shanshan, do you want to learn?"
"Yeah." Xu Shanshan wanted to say that she would prepare a set for Hongxia and Congcong, but when she thought about the price of the tape recorder, she quickly shut up.
Even with the salary I have saved now, I still can't afford to buy a tape recorder.
We have to wait a little longer.
"It's not easy for you to learn. I'll teach you."
"But what you teach is too complicated." Fang Zhiwen is not a good teacher. When he taught Shanshan circuit diagrams and the like before, he confused her.
The factory's technicians give clear and organized lectures.
"It's okay. Let's go together next time when we record the class. That female teacher has a lot of jingles and her teaching is pretty good."
Xu Shanshan hid her thoughts and smiled, "Okay, okay. I won't disturb you, will I?"
"How is that possible? I'll only be motivated if you go."
Fang Zhiwen was very happy, and then he pulled out a pair of jeans and asked Xu Shanshan to change into them. His wife was perfect in every way, and Fang Zhiwen really couldn't control the urge to buy, buy, buy.
Xu Shanshan wore the same batwing shirt and bell-bottom pants as Fang Zhiwen, and also fixed her glasses. Then the couple ran to the sports park to roller skate.
Xu Shanshan finally understood that ice skating meant skating on a concrete floor wearing four-wheeled shoes. She was also a fan of novelty, so she put on the shoes and slowly skated with Fang Zhiwen.
"Oh, you're too careful and walk too slowly."
Xu Shanshan was speechless. This person skated so fast that he seemed to be flying. When he supported her, he felt like an ant crawling on him.
"It's okay. We in the countryside still walk on stilts during the New Year."
Xu Shanshan shook off Fang Zhiwen's hand and slowly moved forward. Fang Zhiwen, like a parent protecting a child, stretched out his arms and hurriedly followed to protect her.
"Brother Zhiwen, are you a hen?" someone laughed loudly when they saw him.
Xu Shanshan stopped and waited for Fang Zhiwen to greet someone. She hadn't expected Fang Zhiwen to be a celebrity in this area; nine out of ten men who wore glasses knew him.
"Brother, why haven't you come out to play for a long time? You brought a pretty girl with you today, that's great."
"What are you talking about? This is my wife. Call me sister-in-law from now on."
"Hey, hello, sister-in-law." More than a dozen people called out "sister-in-law" in unison, and the loud voices scared Xu Shanshan.
"Uh, hello." Xu Shanshan glanced at Fang Zhiwen, then at these young people. She really didn't expect Fang Zhiwen to have such a personality.
I used to think that although he was a little childish, he was generally very calm.
Now it seems that this person has nothing to do with calmness.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to smoke?" Xu Shanshan was still sighing when a young man offered her a cigarette. She quickly waved his hand to refuse. The young man glanced at her and said in surprise, "Huh, you're still a good girl?"
"Alright, alright, go play by yourselves."
"Brother, please don't. We've been looking for you for a long time."
"There's a breakdancing competition going on in the city recently, and that kid Wang Lei is so arrogant he says he can be the champion. Ugh, bro, you go compete and beat that kid."
"Breakdance?" Xu Shanshan heard the new words again and looked at Fang Zhiwen with great curiosity.
"Yes, sister-in-law, my brother is so handsome when he dances breakdance. If he were to participate, he would definitely be the dance king." He said and immediately performed an Indian step.
Xu Shanshan was surprised and applauded. The young man became interested and performed a few cross steps and Thomas moves, and soon he was greeted with applause from the audience.
Fang Zhiwen didn't want to show off his skills, but when he saw his wife was interested, he immediately skated to the center. With the snap of his fingers and the sound of disco music, he suddenly became the most handsome man in the audience.
Xu Shanshan stared at him blankly. That kind of vitality and freedom was something she had never experienced before.
Everyone started performing, and Xu Shanshan became the only audience member.
She thought: Freedom is great.
