"Zhenyu, Zhenyu, are you home?"
As soon as Han Zhenyu opened the door to the main room, he heard a rough male voice calling him.
He was surprised for a moment, then took two quick steps to open the door, "Uncle Dagen, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Han Dagen was wearing a big fur coat, a fur hat, and holding a whip in his hand, which he used to drive the mule.
"Zhenyu, on my way back, I met a man named Li Shaohua. He said he was your colleague and asked you to go to the factory tomorrow."
Han Zhenyu quickly smiled and thanked him: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Dagen. It's so cold, and you're taking the trouble to come here."
"It's okay. I brought two people who came to visit their relatives at the Youth League Home today. It's not far from your place, so it's just on the way." Sun Dagen smiled and waved his hand.
Han Zhenyu's mind moved, and he asked him with a smile, "Uncle Dagen, did the visitor come from Hai City?"
"Yes, they came from Hai City, a middle-aged couple, dressed very decently, and said they came to see their daughter." Sun Dagen said.
Han Zhenyu guessed who it was, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Uncle Dagen, are you going into the city tomorrow? If I can make it in time, I'll ride on your sled."
"I won't go tomorrow. It's cold now and there are fewer people coming into the city. I'll go every other day."
Sun Dagen thought about it and gave him another idea. "Carpenter Han has been making a sled at home these past two days. I think it's pretty good. You can buy one from him. It's not slower than riding a bicycle and is safer."
In fact, Han Zhenyu also thought so. When he was doing reselling on the black market, he also used a sled when going out on snowy days.
He was just planning to ask Carpenter Han to make one for him, but he hasn't had the time to go there in the past few days.
"Uncle Dagen, please wait a moment. I'll go back to my room, put on my coat, and take your sled to Carpenter Han's house. You're an expert, so help me choose a good one."
Sun Dagen said with a smile: "Sure, no problem."
Han Zhenyu walked quickly back to the main room. Su Xieqiu had already put on her clothes and heard the conversation between the two.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door, Han Zhenyu came in.
Seeing her walking out in a small coat, he frowned and said, "Don't go out. It's so cold outside. I'm going to Carpenter Han's house to buy a sled and will be back soon."
Su Xieqiu handed him the coat and said, "Go to the kitchen and get two buns for Uncle Dagen."
She felt very embarrassed to have made someone wait outside for so long when they kindly came to deliver a message.
"Got it." Han Zhenyu put on his coat and cotton shoes and said as he walked out, "Don't come out. I'll lock the door from the outside."
"Wait." Su Xieqiu pulled him, "Uncle Dagen said that Su Xieyun's parents are here?"
"It should be them." Han Zhenyu touched her face soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Tsk, am I afraid of them?" Su Xieqiu curled his lips in disdain, then smiled and said to him, "If they come looking for you, just be aggressive and scare them away, so you don't have to argue with them, it's annoying."
"Okay, got it. Go inside quickly to avoid catching a cold." Han Zhenyu went to the kitchen, got two buns and went out.
………
In the Youth League Home, Su Xieyun was hugging his parents and crying bitterly.
“Mom and Dad, why did you come just now? You don’t know how much your daughter has suffered here. And that damn girl Su Xieqiu is even worse than the villagers. Not only does she not take care of me, she even beats me… Wuuuuuu…”
Su Xieyun leaned in Fan Gaomin's arms and cried in grievance.
Su Dajun was a man, so he did not enter the house. He stood at the door and looked inside. He saw a large bunk bed with several pillows on it.
A few female comrades were sitting there and gossiping. They must be from this room.
It’s so crowded, how can the children sleep well at night?
He frowned and said, "Yunyun, how come so many people live in one room?"
None of the educated youth in the room spoke. Zhang Xiujuan was carrying firewood to the kitchen. Today was her and Miao Lili's turn to cook.
Hearing Su Dajun's disdainful tone, she couldn't help but say, "Uncle, how can these few people be considered a lot? Some villagers in poor conditions have to sleep on one kang in the winter. The conditions in the countryside are like this. We are here to build things, not to enjoy ourselves."
Su Dajun is a small leader in the factory and is quite authoritative. He usually scolds others.
Now hearing a little girl talking to him like this, he felt a little embarrassed.
But it was hard to refute what the girl said, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, you young people are more conscious, I was wrong."
Fan Gaomin looked Zhang Xiujuan up and down and thought that this little girl was quite capable and would not get along well with his own daughter.
She was a smart person and she didn't show it at all. She wouldn't make enemies for her daughter here.
Fan Gaomin opened the bag he brought, took out a bag of candy from it, and smilingly gave two pieces to each educated youth.
Then he took out a dried chicken from his bag and said to Zhang Xiujuan with a smile, "Comrade, this is what we brought from home. Please stew it. You children have worked hard, and this is a good way to replenish your bodies.
Zhang Xiujuan didn't take it. She shook her head and said, "Auntie, this is such a valuable thing, you should keep it for yourself."
Although everyone craves meat, you can't eat other people's food for no reason.
Zhang Xiujuan didn't want to be soft-hearted because she felt that Su Xieyun was troublesome and not worth dealing with, and she didn't want to owe him a favor.
Fan Gaomin pretended to be unhappy and said, "Why are you being polite to Auntie?" She smiled and stuffed the dried chicken into Zhang Xiujuan's hand, "I'm treating you to this meal. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
