The 56th day of being eavesdropped
This month is not long, but it is not short either.
During this month, the weather in Beijing has become hotter. Everyone has taken off their cotton jackets and put on thongs. Some young and energetic guys have put on jeans from Hong Kong.
Those cool and tight jeans are enough to make a 17 or 18-year-old young man the focus of a street.
The newspapers have criticized this phenomenon again and again.
But the clothes from Hong Kong are synonymous with fashion in the eyes of these young people. Despite the criticism from the newspapers, the jeans have become a hot commodity in Beijing. Jeans have become the hard currency on the black market of various stalls.
The popularity of jeans has nothing to do with Liang Ying and her friends.
Although they are all textile factories, they do not produce fabrics for jeans. They have been working from dawn to dusk this month, and they race against time during meals, just to win this bet.
Today is the last day, and the results will be out tomorrow. Everyone is staring at the yarn ingots in the workshop without blinking.
"Team leader, I have inquired back."
Chen Xiuhong just came back from outside and rushed to Liang Ying's side.
Liang Ying hurriedly asked, "How is it, how many pieces of cloth did they produce in the first workshop this month?"
"I heard that there are more than 4,200 pieces." Chen Xiuhong whispered.
She is a neighbor of Sister Zhao from the third workshop. Sister Zhao is easy-mouthed, so it is not a problem to ask her about some things.
"More than 4,200?"
Liang Ying frowned.
This number is less than when she was in the first workshop. If it is because of the change of people, it is not enough.
"This number is about the same as ours."
The elder sister next to her said, "Team leader, I think we may win."
"I don't think so. This number may not be accurate. Can you believe what elder sister Zhao said?"
Zhang Xing'er came over at some point and curled her lips and said, "Think about it yourself. They produced more than 4,000 horses last month. This month has more days than last month. How can it be less?"
"Why are you praising their workshop?"
Chen Xiuhong was immediately unhappy and glared at Zhang Xing'er.
Zhang Xing'er put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm telling you the truth. Even if you don't like it, it's still the truth. Chen Xiuhong, I think you've been played around by others."
"Okay, everyone stop arguing,"
Liang Ying quickly spoke up to stop them when they saw they were about to start arguing. It was time to change to the night shift, and whether the other party's number was right or not, it might not be in time to catch up.
"Let's not care what they say. Let's work harder on this last day."
After hearing what Liang Ying said, Chen Xiuhong and Zhang Xing'er glared at each other, but didn't say anything more. They turned back to look at the machine.
When it was time to change shifts, Liang Ying clicked.
They made a little over 4,200 this month.
This number is not small, but if they want to win, they really don't have much chance of winning.
"Okay, it's time to change shifts. Let's go back and have a good rest tonight."
Liang Ying looked around at everyone. Although she didn't say anything, she knew that the others probably knew what was going on because everyone had a frustrated look on their faces.
Lin Lianhua and her friends passed by after work and smiled and knocked on the door.
Lin Lianhua said to Liang Ying, "Liang Ying, we're waiting for ice cream tomorrow, so remember to bring money."
Sister Zhao and others laughed.
Chen Xiuhong and others were very angry.
Liang Ying remained calm: "Okay, don't be too happy too early. You have to remember to bring money yourself. But if you don't have money tomorrow, I can lend it to you."
"Liang Ying, you're so funny." Lin Lianhua left with a smile.
Chen Xiuhong was very angry, "What kind of person is this? He speaks as if they have already won."
Liang Ying said nothing, but her eyes flickered.
The night shift in the factory has fewer people this year, because now there is no need for cloth coupons, the cloth is not in short supply, and the production task in the factory is naturally much smaller. It
's late at night.
Gu Jinshui sent Liang Ying back to the factory, and while riding his bike, he muttered, "Wife, it's really hard to make these ten dollars. You have to work overtime in the factory in the middle of the night."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Liang Ying patted him on the shoulder, "Is this about money? This is about face."
The couple was arguing when they heard a bell from the front. Liang Ying looked in the direction of the sound and saw the person clearly with the flashlight on the front of the car: "Zhang Xing'er."
"You, why are you here?"
An embarrassed look flashed across Zhang Xing'er's face, and she coughed, "Well, isn't it that Chen Xiuhong who insisted on dragging all of us to work overtime? I came here out of necessity."
Gu Jinshui whispered, "Do you know her?"
Liang Ying patted him on the shoulder and jumped out of the car, "My colleague, okay, I'll let her take me, you go back first."
"Okay then."
Gu Jinshui nodded and watched Liang Ying sitting in Zhang Xing'er's car heading towards the textile factory.
He touched his chin, feeling very happy in his heart.
Isn't that Zhang Xing'er the thorn in his side that his wife mentioned?
How did the relationship become so good?
Not to mention that Gu Jinshui didn't understand, even Chen Xiuhong and others were stunned when they saw Zhang Xing'er and Liang Ying coming in together.
"Everyone is here."
Liang Ying smiled and took off her gloves and hat at the door. "Let's not just stand there. Let's get started before anyone comes."
"Okay, okay." Chen Xiuhong and others finally responded.
Lin Lianhua went to work with a smug look on her face.
She also promised Song Chaohua, "When mom beats the capitalist lady next door today, I'll buy you some baked cakes tonight."
Song Chaohua hummed, not caring too much about it.
Lin Lianhua hummed a little tune as she entered the workshop, and chatted with everyone for a few words, thinking about what kind of ice cream to eat later.
Deng Mei came over after a while and asked Lin Lianhua and Liang Ying to go out.
"How much did your two workshops produce this month?"
Lin Lianhua looked at Liang Ying proudly, "Team Leader, we produced 4,353 pieces of cloth."
Sure enough.
The number reported by Sister Zhao was false.
Chen Xiuhong clenched her fist in anger in the third workshop, "This Sister Zhao even deceived me."
Zhang Xing'er snorted, "I told you earlier that they must have fooled you. You still don't believe it. It's because we are smart and come to work overtime in the middle of the night."
"Not a small amount, Liang Ying, how about you?"
Sister Deng looked at Liang Ying.
Liang Ying smiled and said, "We are about the same as the first workshop, but we just have fifteen more."
Lin Lianhua's eyes widened: "Nonsense, how is this possible? You only had more than 4,200 yesterday evening, and there were not many people on the night shift last night. How is it possible to have more than a hundred more in one night?"
"Because we came back to work overtime last night."
Liang Ying said righteously: "We also borrowed machines from other workshops, why not?"
Although Liang Ying was very sleepy after staying up all night, seeing Lin Lianhua's expression now, Liang Ying suddenly felt that it was worth it.
Lin Lianhua was dumbfounded.
Obviously, she never thought that Liang Ying would work so hard, and she never thought that the first workshop, which had always been a group of scattered sand, would be so united this time.
The cream ice cream is sweet but not greasy, with a strong milky flavor.
Although Liang Ying has eaten a lot of ice cream packed by Gu Yinxing, this ice cream tastes much better than any she has eaten before.
"Team leader, we have surprised everyone this time." Chen Xiuhong said happily while eating ice cream.
"This is the first time that our workshop can win." Zhang Xing'er felt a little complicated.
She originally thought that it was nothing to always be at the bottom, but suddenly she tried to win and found that the taste of winning was even better, especially when she heard others praise the hard-working people in their workshop, she felt so happy.
"Although this is our first time, it will definitely not be the last."
Liang Ying said, "I've seen it a long time ago. When it comes to work, the sisters are not inferior to anyone, and we all have experience. There is no reason for us to lose to the inexperienced people in other workshops. We should work harder in the future and strive to get more bonuses, so that we can get fifty yuan a month like the third workshop!"
"Okay!"
At this time, no one would spoil the fun, and everyone applauded.
Sister Deng listened to the voices inside at the door, and a smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
This Liang Ying, I really underestimated her.
Look at her, it is clear that she has completely won people's hearts.
The fact that the first workshop won was a surprise to everyone in the factory.
Because of this, Chen Xiuhong and the others walked with a breeze for several days, and they only praised Liang Ying and never said anything bad about her.
Liang Ying came back from the night shift one day. She was not so stressed at work now, so she thought about buying some toys for her daughter.
She bought two, both of which were chickens pecking at rice.
Gu Yousi took a look and turned his head away, not interested in such childish toys. On the contrary, Lan Lin couldn't let go of it. He pulled the string, watched the chicken pecking at rice, and smiled beside him with his lips pursed.
While helping to choose vegetables, Chen Liying wondered, "This child is strange. His grandfather bought him such old and expensive toys, but he didn't like them. Why does he like this cheap one?"
He Chunlian smiled and said, "Children don't care whether it is expensive or not. They like it. This toy is not expensive, only two cents each. You can buy a few for your children at home."
"That's true."
Chen Liying thought about it and was somewhat tempted.
She had been in Beijing for a while. Although the old man said that he would come to the city to see her every month, her grandchildren could not go out, for fear that they would be lost in the crowds on the road. Chen Liying was thinking about her grandchildren and wanted to buy something for them, so that they would not forget her grandmother.
As they were talking, Douzi ran in from outside, panting and sweating, "Auntie, Auntie, is my brother home?"
Gu Jinshui was reading antique books in the house. He opened the window when he heard his voice, "Douzi, what's wrong?"
"Brother, something bad happened. Shanhu's house was smashed."
Douzi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly.
When Gu Jinshui heard this, he was so angry that he jumped out of the kang in the house and ran out without even wearing shoes.
"Shoes, shoes..." He Chunlian rushed into the house, took out the shoes and threw them to him: "Go ride a bike!"
Gu Jinshui grabbed them quickly, put on his shoes and got on the bike, "Get on the bike, hurry up."
Douzi quickly sat on the back seat, and he slapped his forehead, wondering why he forgot to ride a bike, he was so angry!
