First update
Qin Yao started working at the county cultural center. The office she worked in was called the Literature and Art Office. There was nothing specific to do on weekdays. It all depended on the publicity arrangements from above. For example, if they were asked to write articles on a certain topic, they had to write according to the requirements. There was nothing else to do and it could be changed flexibly.
In addition, I have to go to the library for two days a week to organize books on a voluntary basis.
There are many talented people in the cultural center. There are poetry recitation rooms, dance rooms, accordion rooms, singing rooms, and many young men and women. The working hours are not fixed and it all depends on their own initiative. Most people go to work around nine or ten o'clock and get off work at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, which means they have plenty of time to practice artistic activities.
The time is free, but after working in the T class for a month, Qin Yao almost vomited.
When Qin Yao came here, the first task assigned to her was to "share her experience in creating "Female Militia Leaf". At the beginning, she only shared it with her colleagues in the unit at the cultural center.
Because she was a good speaker and was used as a model, she began to give lectures in various large and small enterprises, and on farms... By the end of the lecture, Qin Yao's head was confused, and if anyone mentioned this book to her again, she would vomit out yesterday's breakfast.
"You'll get used to it. When Lao Zhang first came, he wrote a popular poem. He was so proud of it that he would always recite it at every gathering. Whenever people mentioned him, they would mention this poem... Now when he hears people reciting this poem, he looks dead and says that this poem is only fit to be used to wipe one's butt in the toilet."
The person who said this was a young drama actor from the cultural center named Xu Lu. He was in his early twenties, a handsome young man with bronze skin, a head of fluffy hair like clouds, a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled, and spoke in a catchy voice with a deliberate broadcasting accent.
Xu Lu has a beautiful female educated youth girlfriend. They have been dating for two years, but have not yet married. Xu Lu speaks humorously and enthusiastically at work and can talk to anyone. He is the "top male star" in the cultural center.
Young girls are proud to chat with him.
Young girls from other units also like to ask people at the cultural center about Xu Lu, as his plays are very popular.
According to Qin Yao, Xu Lu's drama acting was not very good, but he was popular. The main reason was that he loved to dress up more than ordinary men. He always wore new shirts and trousers with a good cut, good leather shoes worth dozens of dollars, and he also wore the same soaps and creams that women used, dressing himself up like a peacock.
Xu Lu likes taking photos very much. As an actor, most of his salary is spent on himself. He is frugal on food and drink, but spending on clothes and dressing up is essential, and he always wears fresh fabrics.
In addition, every time he changed into new clothes, he would always take his photographer friend outside to take a solo photo of himself. After taking the photos, he would develop them and put them on the bulletin board of the cultural center for people to appreciate and view for free.
It is also because of this that he is very popular in the cultural center and is the "male star" of the small town of this era.
Xu Lu had a good relationship with many female colleagues in the unit. They would chase and play with many of them and make witty jokes. But at a time when the atmosphere between men and women was tense, no one ever thought that he was being a hooligan.
It was the girls who came to talk to him, not him who was pestering the girls? It is a great blessing for you to be able to chat and talk with the "male stars" in the cultural center.
Last time, Qin Yao was washing guava at the well in the yard of the unit next door, and a young girl asked, "Is Xu Lu from your cultural center here? Does he have a girlfriend?"
"I have a partner."
"Are you married?"
"No."
"Then why don't you get married?"
…
God knows.
Qin Yao works low-key at the cultural center. She has just been there for a month and has not brought her two children with her. She does her job well at the unit and takes turns with Chen Guixiang to look after the children when she returns home. When Gu Cheng goes home, the couple takes care of the children together and plays games with the two little ones. Their life is going smoothly.
And Xu Lu in front of her always took the initiative to talk to her intentionally or unintentionally. Other people in the unit noticed it and gradually there were some rumors.
They are all sour words.
"Xiao Qin, you are married, right? You can't have affairs with other men and women outside."
"Your husband is a soldier, so he's not often at home, but you can't mess around."
"It's also because you got married too early, so you didn't get the chance to marry a good man like Xiao Xu."
——These are just the words on the surface.
Many people were saying behind her back: "That new girl, Xiao Qin, looks like a foxy girl. She flirted with Teacher Xu the moment she arrived."
"Women are all like this. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she likes our Teacher Xu."
"Qin Yao is married to a man who is ten years older than her. He is an officer with a high salary. He is not at home, so she must be lonely."
…
Because of these rumors, Xu Lu came to Qin Yao to apologize, "They are all just spreading nonsense, Xiao Qin, don't take these words to heart."
"You and I just have a normal relationship between a man and a woman."
After saying this, Xu Lu stared at Qin Yao with his self-proclaimed affectionate eyes, hoping to impress Qin Yao.
Xu Lu was not attracted by Qin Yao's beauty, but by her identity. She was a young married woman whose husband had a high salary subsidy and was not at home. She must be very lonely, so he could make some money from her.
Xu Lu didn't love anyone but himself. He dated his educated youth girlfriend because she was rich. He sent her money and allowance every month. His girlfriend lived frugally and supported him to buy leather shoes and wear Dacron clothes...
But now Xu Lu's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, and the support of a woman is no longer enough to maintain his "handsomeness", and he wants to buy clothes, shoes and belts.
Women are easy to please, and lonely women are even easier to please. If he can get Qin Yao, he can get a lot of support.
Whenever Xu Lu got the chance, he would "show off like a peacock" to Qin Yao, thinking that he was more handsome and romantic than Qin Yao's husband, the rough old man who never came home.
He didn't want to interfere in Qin Yao's marriage, he just wanted to profit from it.
"Don't misunderstand Qin Yao, there's really nothing between her and me. Stop saying these hurtful words. Qin Yao has her own family, and I also have my partner. We have a very good relationship..." Xu Lu took the initiative to explain to others.
One of the secretaries, Lan, said sourly, "You have a good relationship with your girlfriend, but she may not have a good relationship with her husband. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Xiao Xu, you have to be careful. Don't let him betray your relationship with your lover."
This female secretary, named Lan Baiyu, has short hair and likes to wear various fabric headbands she made herself. Long hair must be braided when going out, but short hair that reaches her shoulders can be left loose. She likes to wear headbands and doesn't like to braid her hair.
Before Qin Yao came, Lan Baiyu had the best relationship with another female writer Jiahui who had a partner and Xu Lu. The three of them often flirted and played together. Jiahui was short and fat, with a bad appearance, but she had good writing skills and strong working ability. She had a partner who was a worker-peasant-soldier college student and a cadre. The two of them were separated and only communicated through letters.
Lan Baiyu was slim and beautiful. Many men pursued her, but she didn't like any of them. She just said that she hadn't met her destiny yet. She liked to pester Xu Lu and ask him about the details of his love relationship with his lover Huang Mingli. She said that she envied their "beautiful relationship" and always contacted Xu Lu under the excuse of finding out about Xu Lu's girlfriend.
Lan Baiyu always talked about Xu Lu's girlfriend Huang Mingli, and played and joked with Xu Lu under the pretext of "keeping an eye on Xu Lu" for her, so that others would not suspect that she had an improper relationship with Xu Lu.
Others who were not clear about the relationship between them always mistook Lan Baiyu for Xu Lu's partner, and Lan Baiyu was secretly delighted about this.
In addition to Jiahui and Lan Baiyu, there is another petite and pretty girl with a baby face, very cute, and a pair of small fangs showing when she smiles, Cui Ying, who is also one of Xu Lu's supporters.
Cui Ying is not currently working at the cultural center. She has been transferred to a middle school as a high school Chinese teacher and only comes to visit Xu Lu during holidays. She never said that she came to visit Xu Lu, but rather that she came to visit her good sister Lan Baiyu.
Jiahui, Lan Baiyu and Cui Ying, these three women are the "three generals" around Xu Lu.
Xu Lu also had another real girlfriend, Huang Mingli, who was working as an educated youth on a farm. They didn't see each other often, but she would bring him gifts every month. Xu Lu gave his "handsome photo" to Huang Mingli, allowing her to keep her infatuated heart and see the photo as if she were seeing the person, which was a little comfort.
Xu Lu was not satisfied with the "Three Generals Heng and Ha" and intended to absorb the wild element "Qin Yao" and reorganize him into the "Four Generals of the Demon Family" under his own command.
Qin Yao is married, so it's safe to interact with her, but she's not smart enough and she's too pretty.
Jiahui, who has a partner, plays around with him, and no one ever gossips about her.
Lan Baiyu was the smartest one. She came to him under the pretext of "envying him and Huang Mingli", and no one else could say anything.
"Xiao Lan, you and Comrade Qin should become good friends. I think you two have a lot to talk about. If you interact more with Comrade Qin Yao, you can resolve the misunderstanding." Xu Lu introduced Lan Baiyu and Qin Yao, hoping that they could become good sisters who get along well with each other.
As a woman, she should be gentle, obedient, docile, and not jealous.
Women should not be jealous. Only when they are not jealous can several women live in harmony as a family and serve the same man well. Xu Lu admired the fact that their ancestors invented the term "women are jealous", which was used to warn and discipline these women, telling them not to be jealous of each other and to be honest and dutiful.
As for the jealousy between men, can it be called jealousy? That's called ambition, and it's a compliment.
Lan Baiyu snorted coldly. She was on guard against Qin Yao, fearing that Qin Yao would take her place next to Xu Lu.
Qin Yao made her feel a sense of crisis, and the recent rumors were all spread by Lan Baiyu.
In her opinion, although Huang Mingli is Xu Lu's partner, she is far away and the two of them probably cannot get married; and Jiahui is of ordinary appearance and has a cadre partner who is not bad, but she is lonely and likes to flirt with Xu Lu and take advantage of him.
As for Cui Ying, she is too stupid to be a worthy enemy.
Although Qin Yao is married, she is beautiful, has a good figure, is young, and has a husband who is not at home. What if she and Xu Lu develop a real spark between them and she ignores him?
"Qin Yao, don't get me wrong. Don't think that just because you are beautiful, everyone will like you. Xu Lu won't like you. He has a good temper and likes to talk to everyone... I have watched the relationship between Xu Lu and Mingli develop under my watch. Whoever dares to destroy it will be punished." Lan Baiyu, under the banner of Huang Mingli, warned Qin Yao not to covet Xu Lu.
Qin Yao: "I won't get involved in driving up pork prices."
Lan Baiyu's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
