Chapter 013 Eating the melon and ending up eating it on your own head
There was a dance party at the machinery factory. Zeng Qingwen was the factory's announcer, so she had to be one of the hosts.
This is a good opportunity to find out about the relationship between the two, and to privately find out what the second female supporting character is thinking.
When Tian Xiang left, Hu Honglian asked her, "Where are you going?"
Tian Xiang said casually, "Let's go to the bridge head for a walk."
"It's almost dark, why are you walking around?"
Hu Honglian glanced at her daughter and said tentatively, "There will be a dance party at the machinery factory later. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
The meaning is very clear, the machinery factory, Lufeng must be there.
Tian Xiang resisted the urge to lecture him, "Let me take a look."
She also understood that as long as she did not remove the label of the heroine from her forehead, people around her would think that she and Lu Feng were a match made in heaven.
Hu Honglian was overjoyed. "Be careful on the road. If it's too late, I'll ask someone to take you back."
"I understand."
…
The party held by the machinery factory was naturally the most lively among the several factories.
The activity started in the afternoon. It started with a quarterly work summary, speeches and awards, then a factory-wide dinner, and finally a dance party.
This dance party is specially prepared for the young people in the factory. To put it bluntly, it is to give everyone a chance to go on a blind date freely, or for those who are already in a relationship to improve their relationship.
When Tian Xiang arrived, she saw many young men and women walking in.
Tian Xiang was alone and wearing a military cap, so he was stopped by the security guard.
"Comrade, which department are you from?"
Tian Xiangxin said, I’m from the social department.
"I work at the textile factory in front."
The security guard asked: "Who will take you?"
It's a dance party specially held for young people. It's normal for young men and women in the factory to invite people from outside to participate. The key is that there has to be someone to lead them.
Today everyone is in pairs, except her, who is alone, with a hat covering half of her face. The old man must ask her something.
This is a factory area. If an illegal element sneaks in, he will be held responsible.
This old man does his job very diligently.
Tian Xiang pushed the brim of her hat to the side, revealing her delicate little face.
"Uncle, my friend is the secretary of the propaganda department of the factory labor union. His last name is Meng. He has something to do today and is busy inside. I won't bother him and will come here on my own."
There was no way. Among the young men in the factory, apart from Lu Zhazha, she only recognized the background guy.
Fortunately, I learned his last name last time, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to cover up this lie today.
Seeing the pretty lady in front of him, the security guard smiled and said, "Okay, go in quickly, it's over there in the auditorium."
"Thank you, sir."
Tian Xiang walked away quickly.
The security guard asked his colleague, "The factory labor union propaganda department, the surname is Meng? It can't be Meng Chengan!"
Another old man said: "There are only two unmarried young people in the Propaganda Department of the Trade Union, one is Lu Feng and the other is Meng Cheng'an."
He really came to see Meng Chengan.
I didn’t expect the little girl to be so beautiful!
The other side.
Tian Xiang followed the crowd to the auditorium.
There are several thousand employees in the machinery factory, and the auditorium is not small, similar to a school playground, with a stage in the front and tables and chairs below. However, it is going to be used as a dance floor today, so the middle seat has been vacated.
When Tian Xiang went in, there were quite a lot of people inside. There were rest areas around and snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts were placed there for people to eat.
The machinery factory is a big deal!
The show was about ten minutes away from starting. After entering the door, Tian Xiang walked to the side, found a place where there were many people eating onlookers, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat quietly beside them.
A few minutes later, Tian Xiang found out the backgrounds of several people around her. One of them was a quality inspector in the production workshop of the machinery factory, and the other two were from the button factory next door.
At first, the three of them were chatting about gossip in their respective workshops. When the show was about to start, Lu Feng appeared and the topic turned to Lu Feng.
This week's Red Star Weekly contains his poems again.
It's really well written, looking at the moon in the fog, dreaming of lovesickness...
"This is a love poem. Who do you think he is missing? Could it be the shrew from Sanli Lane who slapped him earlier?"
Tian Xiang, who was eating melon seeds, stopped by.
She's become a shrew!
Even more exaggerated than a shrew.
"How could that be possible! He has lost so much face. If I were Lu Feng, I would hate that person to death."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the shrew Hou Ji came to the factory gate to look for him, and they even had a chat. The people of Lufeng are nice, so they don't bother to make a fuss."
"You're still here to look for him? Are you regretting this?"
"That should be the case. Someone recently saw her at the family compound. It looks like she's still with him..."
Next to him, Tian Xiang, who was eating the melon on his head, was gritting his teeth in hatred.
God damn it, these people only saw her appearing on Hongwu Street and automatically ignored the disgusted look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Feng, right?
Tian Xiang ate two melon seeds and casually interrupted, "I think he must be the person I missed in Xiangsi."
"Who is it?"
The three of them looked at her in unison.
Tian Xiang raised her chin while eating melon seeds.
The three of them followed her gaze to the stage in front of them.
Under the bright lights, Lu Feng was trying to tune the speakers with someone.
Not far away, Zeng Qingwen, who was wearing a beautiful dress, was discussing the program with a girl playing the flute.
There were several small performances to liven up the atmosphere before the dance began.
Tian Xiang said nothing, but just raised her chin slightly.
The three of them imagined a big drama in their minds.
After a while, someone whispered, "The two were high school classmates. Last year, they teamed up to win a prize in the snowman-building competition. I think Announcer Zeng also likes Lu Feng, but Deputy Factory Director Zeng disagrees."
"Yes. Even though it's not stated explicitly, some things are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye."
"Deputy Factory Director Zeng has already made arrangements to send his daughter to college next year!"
Tian Xiang interrupted, "So, they were separated by Deputy Director Zeng?"
This supporting actress is pretty good, she is actually the daughter of the deputy factory director.
"That should be the case. They haven't publicly admitted it, so it's hard to say."
Tian Xiang: "I think Lu Feng is just a playboy. If the Zeng family doesn't agree, shouldn't he try his best to win her over? Why is he still going on blind dates everywhere? Who wouldn't be sad if this happened to him? It's not Announcer Zeng's fault that his family doesn't agree, but he just turns around and looks for someone else. What does he think of them?"
But as soon as she said this, the three onlookers started laughing at her.
The quality inspector from the machinery factory asked, "Which factory are you from?"
"I work in a textile factory."
Tian Xiang told lies very smoothly.
"No wonder. You didn't study in No. 2 Middle School, so you don't know. Zeng, the announcer in our factory, is so arrogant that she doesn't even look at ordinary men. Lu Feng was her deskmate back then, and she often ordered him around. We all have two eyes and one mouth, so why?"
"That's right. Lu Feng is so outstanding but her family doesn't like her. They don't fight for money but for reputation. If I were Lu Feng, I would see the same thing. It seems that without your daughter, there will be no good girls in this world!"
Yes, don’t fight for the bread, fight for the face.
But if you knew that Lu Feng’s real thought was to have girls on both sides, you wouldn’t think so.
At the bottom of the auditorium, Meng Cheng'an walked in carrying a basket of oranges. When he looked up, he saw Tian Xiang not far away.
She was wearing a red and black plaid jacket with black skinny pants. A military cap covered half of her face. Her two long braids were casually draped over her shoulders. She was eating melon seeds and talking to the people around her. She was the only color in the entire auditorium.
