Chapter 126
If we look closely at the context of the manuscript, we can see that the only confirmed subject in the entire text is Lu Qin. So the "comrade" refers to Lu Qin.
"See if you can understand that Lu Qin is this comrade." The man waved his hand.
It was obvious, he was just afraid to admit his mistake. After all, if he made a mistake, he would be punished.
"Really? I have the same idea as you."
The two looked at each other. Then, it seemed like there was something else to write about.
After receiving his colleague's approval, he took the newspaper back and said, "I'll go find the director."
The number of admissions in Laiyang County is actually related to a young gay man, which is a new hot topic.
The college entrance examination has been a major event in the past month.
The newspaper office and the Education Bureau were both busy, and the speed of action had never been so fast.
The person being talked about, Lu Qin, was leisurely cutting Kong Dongdong's hair with a pair of scissors. He was going to take him out to the factory to lie down.
The sun was warm today. Lu Chunnong took off her apron and stood by, watching. "Your haircut is better than mine."
Kong Dongdong swayed his legs, pricked up his ears, and repeated his words, "It has to look good."
Lu Qin became more confident and asked his sister to bring a mirror. "Sister, move up a little."
Lu Chunnong moved forward according to his instructions, with a look of doubt on his face, "Can you see Dongdong?"
Lu Qin stared at himself in the mirror carefully. "I won't look at him. I'll just look at myself."
Just follow his hairstyle, and it'll be fine. His hairstyle suits everyone, but the key is to have his face. Kong Dongdong fits the bill in every way.
"Oh..." Lu Chunnong was really speechless for a moment.
"Let me do it." Kong Yue was afraid that she would get tired of holding up the mirror, so he took it from her.
Lu Qin was forced to eat some dog food. The atmosphere at home had been too good recently. Of course, he was happy to see this happen.
But he was busy now. He bent over, squinting his eyes and carefully compared himself with the person in the mirror. He clicked his hands again, looking very professional. When it came to someone else, he naturally gave orders, "Brother-in-law, lift it lower. Don't blame me if it doesn't look good."
"Don't move." Lu Qin restrained Kong Dongdong.
When Kong Dongdong heard this, he said, "Hold it lower so I can see it."
Faced with his son's request, Kong Yue suppressed his anger. His face was emotionless, but his eyes were observing carefully, thinking that he could also cut Kong Dongdong's hair in the future.
Lu Qin was very sharp-eyed and had a keen ear, so how could he not notice him? He simply opened up and talked to him so that he wouldn't have to sit there alone and watch. "When it comes to cutting hair, patience is key. Those with good skills can cut faster, while those with lesser skills can cut slower. Cut strand by strand, and you'll get the hang of it after a while."
Kong Yue held the mirror without moving, and was exposed. He simply stood there and looked at it. It turned out that after looking at it for a long time, he found it very pleasing to the eye.
Half an hour later, Lu Qin picked up the old coat wrapped around Kong Dongdong and shook it off. "Okay, that's it. New hairstyle, new look."
Kong Dongdong's hair is originally black and soft, and this hair color makes him look fair and tender.
He held the stool with both hands and shook his head slightly, "Uncle, is it the same as you?"
He knew from a young age that his uncle was good-looking.
Lu Qin paused in his swing and glanced at him, meeting his curious eyes. The little brat had a knack for taste.
Kong Yue finally put down the mirror, looked at him and then at Lu Qin. Lu Chunnong also came out of the room.
The couple was silent for a moment. The strange thing was that they looked so much alike.
Lu Qin reached out and covered up the incomplete corners that had been cut at the beginning. Everyone could make mistakes. He nodded and coaxed him, "Looks like it. You're more handsome than your uncle. Right, sister?"
"Hmm..." There's no comparison at all.
Lu Qin stuffed the old coat that was stained with hair into Kong Yue's hands and said, "Dongdong and I are in a hurry, so we have to go out first."
It took me half an hour to get my hair cut. If I don’t go out now, it will be noon and I will miss lunch.
The word "out" completely touched Kong Dongdong's nerves. He climbed down from the stool and no longer hugged his uncle's legs. Instead, he grabbed his uncle's clothes and said, "Let's go."
Lu Qin picked up Kong Dongdong and left immediately.
Leaving the couple alone, Lu Chunnong remembered that he had forgotten to ask them whether they would come back for lunch.
"When will you be back?"
Kong Yue's clothes were covered with strands of short hair, but he didn't mind. "It's okay. He'll go out with Lu Qin. Lu Qin won't treat him harshly."
I always come back with a full meal.
Lu Chunnong thought he had misheard, "Ah"
"I mean, don't worry. Let's pack up first. I heard that Ningchuan City has a lot of rain."
Meanwhile, Lu Qin let Kong Dongdong choose whether to sit in the front or the back. He was old enough to understand things, so he didn't have to worry about him moving around. Of course, in cold weather, sitting in the back was the best option.
"Hold me tight, don't move."
"Okay." Kong Dongdong, wrapped tightly, sat in the back, his two small hands tightly grasping the hem of his clothes.
When he was serious, his face looked just like his uncle's.
"Okay, let's go."
Along the way, Lu Qin rode very slowly out of caution, riding with one hand from time to time, freeing his left hand to touch the back to make sure the baby was not thrown off.
It took half an hour longer than usual to get to the county. Lu Qin rode his bike straight into the factory.
Grandpa Huang narrowed his eyes. His eyesight wasn't very good due to his old age, but he felt like there were two Lu Qins, one big and one small.
Lu Qin squeaked and stopped in front of him, "Good morning, Mr. Huang, the factory director and the others are here, right?"
When he asked the question, the little boy sitting in the back, who was holding onto his clothes, looked over with his round eyes.
Hiss, they really look alike.
"I got there half an hour ago." He said this while staring at the kid behind him. The kid wasn't afraid of people either, and when he looked at her, she showed him a set of neat little white teeth.
More like it.
Lu Qin noticed that he was looking behind him. Perhaps because his nephew was so cute, he almost forgot to introduce him. "Uncle Huang, this is my nephew. Dongdong calls him great-grandfather."
"Hello, great-grandfather." Kong Dongdong's childish voice sounded.
"Okay." Grandpa Huang nodded with a smile, then he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a piece of uneaten mung bean cake. "Here."
Kong Dongdong loosened one hand and grabbed his uncle's clothes with the other hand and tugged at them. Lu Qin didn't need to look back to know that he was asking for his opinion. "Take it."
"Okay, thank you, great grandfather."
"Oh, you're welcome." Mr. Huang touched his hair and said, "Come in."
Lu Qin then rode his bicycle inside. It was really a beautiful sight to see the two nesting dolls sitting on the bicycle.
Besides, Kong Dongdong is not afraid. After going to school, he became generous and bold, looking around with his eyes wide open.
Lu Qin came here today to collect last month's salary and quit his job at the same time.
Director Ren had known that this day would come, but he still felt it was a pity.
He signed, but couldn't help but lament why he had passed the exam. "If I have the chance in the future, I will come back to our factory to have a look."
However, he knew that the possibility was very small. After the country resumed the college entrance examination, it would develop better and better. There were many large and small factories in Ningchuan City, and there were better opportunities. People would definitely move to higher positions, not to mention that Lu Qin was a kid who moved frequently.
Lu Qin watched him sign and said something suggestive, "I'll definitely come back to check. Director, I've got all the phone numbers for our factory down."
He'll call within a year at the latest.
Director Ren smiled and was about to say something when he saw a little head poking in from the door. He could tell at a glance that this kid was related to Lu Qin.
The topic suddenly changed, "The one outside is your nephew"
"Yes, I just asked him to wait outside." Lu Qin turned his head and waved.
Kong Dongdong came running in, walked over to Lu Qin and stood straight, not afraid at all, just staring at him, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Yeah, okay."
Director Ren's grandson is already grown up, and he didn't bring any food with him, which is quite embarrassing.
Lu Qin seemed to sense his embarrassment. Besides, he wasn't bringing anyone to the factory office just to eat and drink for free. There was no food or drink in the factory office.
"Then, leader, if I have any questions in the future, I will call you back. Leader, please answer the phone."
His title has changed to leader.
Director Ren looked away. If someone else had said this, he probably wouldn't have believed it. But he still believed what Lu Qin said. "If you learn something new, whether it's beneficial to the development of our factory or not, you can fight."
Putting aside other things, they have a good relationship in private.
This is exactly what Lu Qin wanted him to say.
Coming out of the factory office, he packed his belongings and glanced at the horizon. He estimated the time, which was just right: there was still an hour until lunch. But the thing he missed most was the food in the cafeteria.
But before that, he planned to take Kong Dongdong to the R&D and packaging posts to say goodbye to his fellow workers, and to see what delicious food there was at the R&D post.
In the end, as he expected, Kong Dongdong's hands were full of food.
In order to make him feel a sense of accomplishment, Lu Qin picked up the smaller one and held it in his hand, and let him hold the rest.
As they walked, Lu Qin took the opportunity to lecture him, "Do you know why they are willing to give it to you?"
Kong Dongdong tossed his calves, his face flushed. He shook his head and followed his words and asked, "Uncle, why?"
Lu Qin cleared his throat and said to him seriously without blushing or beating his heart, "This is because your uncle worked hard and earned their appreciation. Appreciation means love, so they gave you so much."
"Oh! So it's because they like uncle." Kong Dongdong felt that he had learned something new.
When going to the cafeteria to eat, Lu Qin held his nephew against the window and successfully got a bowl of meat with his face.
While eating, Kong Dongdong pinched his face and looked at his uncle.
Zhou Jun and Xu Youzhi sat across from him. After meeting Lu Qin today, they didn't know when they would see each other again. But their attention was drawn to Kong Dongdong.
The child is not picky about food and doesn't need to be fed. He bites a long piece of green vegetable and sucks it in, taking a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of vegetables. It looks very appetizing.
Noticing someone was looking at him, he raised his head and gave a sweet and well-behaved smile.
They look alike when they're not smiling, and even more so when they're smiling. It makes you want to give him two pieces of meat from your bowl. They're truly uncle and nephew.
Zhou Jun and Xu Youzhi didn't know whether the child had learned from Lu Qin on purpose, but the way he smiled, showing his white teeth, was the same.
Zhou Jun looked away and asked, "When do you start school?"
"It must be spring now." Lu Qin drank a sip of soup.
"There's still half a month left. If you don't stay for a while longer, it will probably be hard to find the next secretary."
The resignation was unexpected and left them completely unprepared.
After Lu Qin reminded Kong Dongdong not to get it on himself, he turned around and said, "There's still a lot to prepare before school starts. And half a month is a bit awkward."
Strictly speaking, it was less than half a month.
"By the way, Youzhi, how are you and Comrade Wu doing? When are you getting married?"
When the story of the two of them was suddenly brought up, Xu Youzhi almost spit out his soup, and his ears immediately turned red. This fully demonstrated that as long as one person takes the initiative, there will be a story. Wu Fangfang had always been the one chasing after him, but later, Xu Youzhi also fell in love with her.
He swallowed and said, "We have already met each other's parents. We will meet by the end of the year at the latest."
Lu Qin silently calculated the time, "That means I can still enjoy wedding candy when I come back from winter vacation at the end of the year."
Kong Dongdong had finished a piece of braised chicken. He looked at his uncle and then at Xu Youzhi opposite him with his small eyes.
Zhou Jun accidentally glanced at his action and picked up another piece of meat and put it in his bowl.
When Kong Dongdong noticed the extra food in the bowl, his eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you!"
Lu Qin had been paying attention to this side, but he didn't say much. He and Comrade Xu had already discussed which store had the best wedding candy. Xu Youzhi silently noticed his hint.
After a meal, we must finally say goodbye.
Zhou Jun and Xu Youzhi stood aside, looking at the large and small packages hanging on Lu Qin's bicycle handlebars.
"Comrade Lu, take care! See you at the end of the year."
Lu Qin seemed unmoved by the sadness. He waved his hand and said, "We don't have to meet at the end of the year. We can meet this summer. By the way, Chief Zhou, I'll call you when the time comes. You must answer the phone."
What if he can’t get through to the factory director Ren on the phone? He has to make another preparation.
The emotions that had been brewing with great difficulty were shattered just like that.
Zhou Jun nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, you can call me back if you have anything to do. I can pay the extra phone bill."
Of course, he didn't expect that Lu Qin would call them so frequently, almost every day, to "brainwash" them.
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows, and had nothing else to say at this point.
He picked up Kong Dongdong and let him sit in the front, "Everyone, I'm leaving first."
His work experience is a process of moving from place to place, and he can feel comfortable anywhere.
"Well, ride slowly and be careful." Zhou Jun made way.
Lu Qin entered the factory empty-handed, and when he left, the luggage on the two handlebars was swaying, including his coat, enamel cup, rice bowl, and various table ornaments.
Kong Dongdong didn't even have to choose, he just sat in the back, with a thin blanket tied behind his butt.
"Leave."
"Goodbye." Kong Dongdong turned around and waved.
Lu Qin pedaled his bicycle, reminded Kong Dongdong to sit properly, and then quickly pedaled away.
The distance from the cafeteria to the main entrance was only five minutes, and the closer Lu Qin got to the gate, the more reluctant he felt to leave. He looked at the low buildings on either side. When he first arrived, the buildings were not so dense at all, but a lot had been added in the past two years. He wondered if there would be significant changes in a year or two, or even longer. Of course, it would definitely get better.
The bicycle is getting slower and slower.
"Uncle, can't you pedal anymore? I seem to have gained weight recently." A childish question suddenly came from the back seat of the car.
Lu Qin: ...With just those three ounces of flesh on him, how heavy can he be?
He quickened his pace to avoid suspicion.
When he walked out of the door, Mr. Huang saw his scene and reluctantly reminded him, "This is the sauce made by my daughter. It's very delicious. Come back and have a look when you have time."
Lu Qin accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, uncle. I will come back to see you during summer and winter vacations."
Grandpa Huang smiled and waved his hand. He had been standing guard here for ten years after his retirement, and this was the only kid he liked.
As soon as he left the factory, news of his resignation spread from the factory office to everywhere. Now everyone knew their "factory beauty" had quit to go to college, and it was a bit strange at first. I wanted to chase after her to see her, but I realized she was already gone. For a moment, I felt a sense of emptiness.
It was almost two in the afternoon, and Lu Qin had originally planned to go back directly. However, he saw his Aunt Sun on the road.
Sun Juan was holding a bag of bitter medicine in her hand. She covered her mouth as she walked. It was so painful.
Ding-ling-ling
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
Sun Juan turned around when she heard the voice and pointed to her mouth. "The blisters from the inflammation haven't healed yet."
"I heard from Mingzhi that you were admitted to a university, and it was Ningda University."
