Chapter 2 How about you give me the gold?
Linhai Iron and Steel Plant is located in the east of the city, covering several thousand acres. Not only is the factory area large, but the area of the family quarters is also extremely large.
Ordinary workers live in the rows of large courtyards on the south side. Only those with better conditions can have their own courtyards. For example, in Chen Qing's family, her brother-in-law is a martyr, and her parents were the first batch of workers in the machinery factory. Later, they sacrificed their lives to prevent greater losses to the machinery factory.
That’s why Chen Qing was able to live in such a spacious house in the 1970s when housing was in short supply.
The family quarters on the north side leading directly to the gate of the machinery factory have more than a dozen two-story buildings lined up side by side. It is particularly eye-catching and is the dream residence of all steel plant workers!
The factory director, chief engineer, consultants and other leaders of the machinery factory all live there, and various facilities for people's convenience are built around them.
The state-owned restaurant was right there, about one kilometer away from the slum. He Yuxiang wanted to end the battle quickly, so he ran away leaving an afterimage.
Even Aunt Yu’s shouting at the entrance of the alley couldn’t catch up with his eager pace to get home.
Aunt Yu had just heard that Chen Qing was going on a blind date and was about to throw her two children out. She wanted to give the two children a heads-up so that they would be on guard, but it was no use.
"It's time for dinner, let's go back first."
Smoke rose from the South Street staff quarters. Aunt Yu packed up her things and went home, carrying her small stool.
No matter how big the matter is in other people's homes, it's just something to talk about.
He Yuxiang ran home and went to find his sister first.
He Yuting, who was sitting obediently on the stairs, saw her brother coming back, her eyes lit up: "Brother, Auntie really applied medicine to me just now."
She raised her chin slightly, and the red potion was enough proof.
He Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't understand why that bad woman was so kind, he was glad that his sister wasn't hurt. "Then you take a rest. I'll make you some mixed grain porridge while she's eating."
Today's multi-grain porridge is made of sweet potatoes and brown rice. It doesn't make your throat irritated, but it's definitely not delicious.
But it was normal for both of them to go hungry, so they couldn't possibly dislike this mixed-grain rice.
He Yuting: "Okay."
He Yuxiang heard his aunt's footsteps as if in the room. He nervously took the lunch box to the kitchen and secretly took out a layer of meat from the surface of the aluminum lunch box. Fearing that the aroma would leak out, he hid it in the backyard.
After doing all this, He Yuxiang put the lunch box on the table in the main room.
Their courtyard is quite large. The largest one is used as the living and dining room, and the remaining three main rooms are one for each of the two children and one for Chen Qing.
There are also two small side rooms, one is the kitchen, the other is a storage room for sundries, and a bathroom separated by wooden boards.
This small courtyard is also the fat piece of meat that many people in the machinery factory are eyeing.
Chen Qing walked around the courtyard and bumped into He Yuxiang who had just put down his lunch box. He said, "I've steamed the rice. Go wash three bowls and serve the rice. I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
He Yuxiang stared at her warily.
Like a little wolf cub.
Chen Qing sneered: "Why, you still don't want to listen?"
He Yuxiang felt frustrated and angry, his face turned red!
A bad woman is indeed a bad woman!
Chen Qing looked at his angry back, holding her chin with her hand and thinking, was she influenced by the vicious female supporting role? Why was she so happy seeing the child feeling sad?
Not normal, this is very abnormal.
As a young person of the new era, she is a woman who embodies truth, goodness and beauty.
Chen Qing sat at the dining table and continued to think about life.
She was in a book.
There are two more burdens, one of which may explode.
These are actually not the key.
She learned something that was enough to make her want to be reborn again, and it was also the truth about why the original owner was willing to marry a divorced man.
The original owner owed money!!!
The amount is as high as: 178 yuan.
The two children have a pension and the original owner does not need to bear any burden at all. She took over her mother's job and became a formal employee, earning 36 yuan a month. Before her sister died, she gave all her savings of more than 700 yuan to the original owner. It was less than a year since her sister passed away, so she would not be short of money.
But the original owner was very vain. There was a deputy director's woman in the factory committee. She was doted on and dressed beautifully. The original owner didn't want her to be called the flower of the factory, so she spent a huge amount of money to dress herself up, and she wanted to dress even more beautifully than the deputy director's daughter.
result……
Empty pockets.
The only 35 yuan left in her pocket was all the money the family had.
It turns out that the person who borrowed money from the original owner was not someone else, but a divorced man!
He looks good, with fair complexion, tall stature, and gold-rimmed glasses. He is also the director of the logistics department and was once a college student, so he fits the criteria of a gentleman villain very well.
According to the plot in the book, he was also nice to the original owner.
The people are nice too.
But Chen Qing has no habit of being a stepmother.
Especially when there are two burdens at home.
"Aunt, the meal is here."
He Yuting held the bowl in both hands, afraid that she would drop it again.
"Um."
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
Chen Qing opened the lid of the aluminum lunch box, and the aroma of meat filled the air.
The tender red pork slices were shiny with oil, and the two children swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Chen Qing picked up a piece of pork and ate it, his eyes bright.
As orphans, there are very few who don’t know how to cook.
Coincidentally, she is one of them.
In modern times, she needs to save money for a down payment on a house, and her food is very poor. She didn’t expect to improve her food in the 1970s…
The pork has a strong aroma of sauce when you take a bite. The meat is firm and tender, accompanied by the freshness of the chili and the spiciness of the garlic. The distinct layers and the fragrance make you feel full of happiness!
He Yuxiang knew that she would not give him any, and seeing that his sister was so greedy, he deliberately spoke to attract her attention: "Don't you have something to tell us?"
"Yes, there is something."
Chen Qing carefully chose his words.
"Can't you just say what you want to say?"
She was so hesitant, as if I thought she was such a polite person.
He Yuxiang rolled his eyes.
Chen Qing picked up a piece of meat for each of the two siblings.
This time, even He Yuting sat up straight.
He Yuxiang was on high alert, constantly reminding himself not to fall for the enemy's sugar-coated bullets!
"Eat, why not eat?"
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
He Yuxiang was very irritable.
"Look at you, why are you so upset?" Chen Qing ate another piece of spicy stir-fried pork, and then said, "I remember your father who never showed up gave you a piece of gold. I plan to buy a sewing machine. How about you give me some money to help me? Don't worry, when the time comes, I will use the sewing machine to take private jobs to make money, and I will definitely get some benefits from you."
"impossible!"
He knew that when a bad woman came to him, it was definitely not a good thing.
It turns out that he was thinking about his gold.
That was his only bargaining chip, and he would never give it to her even if he was beaten to death.
Chen Qing's lips straightened, his face showing obvious displeasure.
He Yuting was frightened by her aunt and sobbed silently.
Chen Qing: “It’s so annoying.”
She put down her chopsticks and went back to the house.
There is still half of the meat left. Considering the villain's cleverness, he should be able to eat it, right?
