Chapter 176
Zhang Yunxi originally wanted to be reserved, but ended up lying in his arms for the rest of the journey.
Every time passers-by pass by, they have to take a second look at them. There is no other way, the two of them are so pleasing to the eyes, it is impossible not to pay attention.
But Zhao Rencheng was the only one who felt uncomfortable. For this reason, he tried hard to lower his presence, helping Zhang Yunxi cover her face while lowering his head.
The aunt sitting opposite was laughing. This tall and big young man, who looked quite fierce, even knew how to be embarrassed.
When they were about to arrive, Zhao Rencheng called out to Zhang Yunxi: "It's almost time to wake up."
Zhang Yunxi: "Stop making noise!"
Her dirty buns are super delicious, with a runny filling, fragrant and sweet, not greasy, and a calorie bomb. At first, she only had a taste and shared it with her sisters, but now she thinks it’s cool.
Just as she was about to eat the taro dumplings she hadn't eaten for a long time, someone shouted in her ear: "It's time to wake up, we're going to miss the station later."
Zhang Yunxi, immersed in a beautiful dream, opened her eyes, and the endless roar brought her back to reality. This was the 1970s.
At this moment, Zhang Yunxi ignored the looks of others and leaned in Zhao Rencheng's arms, feeling a little safe.
She is not a passer-by.
But the scenery outside the window that was torn apart by speed made Zhang Yunxi think of the past twenty years, and there was a regret that could not be touched.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Rencheng asked softly.
"No, I just dreamed about delicious food and didn't want to wake up."
"I'll take you to a state-owned restaurant to eat delicious food later."
"good."
Zhang Yunxi replied with a smile.
After arriving at the station, the surroundings became lively. Zhao Rencheng stood up and took the luggage. He held the luggage in one hand and held Zhang Yunxi's hand in the other as they got off the train. There was no order in getting off the train at this time. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the hustle and bustle at the moment, and they squeezed forward desperately, as if something wonderful was waiting for them ahead.
Zhao Rencheng and Zhang Yunxi were both beaming with excitement when they got off the train. Overwhelmed by the strong joy, they could only survive in the cracks.
Zhao Rencheng breathed a sigh of relief when he squeezed out of the train station.
Zhang Yunxi bent over and smiled.
Zhao Rencheng was confused: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Zhang Yunxi waved his hand.
She just thought that Zhao Rencheng, who always protected her, was a little cute.
Zhao Rencheng reluctantly let go of his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant for some delicious food. The brick and tile factory is quite far from here, and you have to take a bus."
"OK."
You're here now.
Just follow his arrangements.
Before leaving, Zhang Yunxi wanted to buy a gift. She couldn't just go there empty-handed, that would be so rude.
"I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy some things for my second aunt."
"I bought it. It's all in the bag. I also prepared malted milk and brown sugar, tea leaves, and two cans of Golden Rooster biscuits."
"Ah? It's all ready. I was thinking about buying it."
Zhang Yunxi has prepared the money.
This time when she came to the provincial capital, she specially took six big unity notes, preparing a gift worth thirty yuan for the old leader and a gift worth thirty yuan for her second aunt.
"Have you bought it, old chief?"
“…I bought it.”
"Where do you get so much money?" Zhang Yunxi crossed his arms and said, "Comrade Zhao Rencheng, you bought train tickets and gifts. You only have ten yuan of pocket money a month. You also bring me food from the state-owned restaurant at least once a week. Where does your money come from?"
Zhao Rencheng was dumbfounded: "I..."
Zhang Yunxi found a park bench and sat down, waiting for his explanation.
Zhao Rencheng came to sit beside her and said, "I lent some money to others before, and they paid it back to me. Besides, I didn't spend any money except buying meat for you."
"Not a cent?"
"Not a cent."
"sky……"
Zhang Yunxi's three views were greatly shocked.
She always felt that Zhao Rencheng was unconscious and even a little generous in his spending.
Now it seems that being extravagant is good for her.
Zhang Yunxi covered her face, feeling ashamed and embarrassed: "I spent a lot of money."
"It's okay. Someone in the family has to spend money, otherwise it will just be waste paper." Zhao Rencheng comforted.
Zhang Yunxi: "..." She didn't want to talk.
She's going to shut herself in for a while.
Originally, when she questioned Zhao Rencheng, she thought he had a new way to make money, or that he had become the factory director and was accepting gifts.
As a result, he saved it.
"I usually like to eat meat, but there are pheasants, rabbits and wild boars in the back mountain. I can catch them whenever I want. As for clothes, the clothes I wore in the army have not been worn out. I don't smoke or drink. I usually use the official account for business trips, so I don't have much to spend."
Zhao Rencheng didn't think he was thrifty.
I just don't want to waste money for no reason.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not to mention the waste, he himself also hates this behavior.
After listening to him, Zhang Yunxi felt that he was a person who would never be brainwashed by capitalism. "Your consumption habits are very healthy."
"I think so too." Zhao Rencheng nodded: "So I don't need to give you too much pocket money, three or five yuan is enough for emergencies."
When he was in the brigade, some people came to him to borrow money.
After I became the factory manager, fewer people came to borrow money.
Some people have started to repay the money one after another.
Zhao Rencheng couldn't understand why either.
It's amazing.
But it's good.
"Let's go, let's eat something at the state-owned restaurant and then take the bus."
"good."
Zhang Yunxi was shocked by his view on money.
When they were in the car after dinner, Zhang Yunxi asked him, "How do you feel about me spending money?"
“Very happy.”
"Very happy?"
"Well, the money has been put to good use."
When Zhao Rencheng saw Zhang Yunxi was happy to get something, he felt that it was good value for money.
Zhang Yunxi was silent.
Should she say that what Zhao Rencheng said made sense or not? It seemed that nothing she said was right.
"Then...as long as you are happy."
Zhao Rencheng nodded, looked around, and secretly held her hand.
When Zhang Yunxi looked over, he was looking forward seriously with his back straight. People who knew him might have thought he was in a car, but people who didn't might have thought he was about to scold someone. They would look down at the two people's clasped hands and side-glance at him.
This man talks about serious topics but does improper things.
The brick and tile factory was built in a remote place. After Zhao Rencheng and Zhang Yunxi arrived, they had to walk for a while. "Why is the road condition of this brick and tile factory so bad?"
"We are planning to rebuild it." Zhao Rencheng explained.
"Oh, no wonder."
The brick and tile factory is also a large factory. Many people come here to transport things. The previous road was cracked, so the brick and tile factory decided to repair the cement road.
The dormitory building of the brick and tile factory was built inside the factory, and Zhao Rencheng asked the security guard to call her "Li Qiuxiang".
"You are her nephew, right?" The security guard remembered him. He was tall and strong. Every time he drove the tractor over, he would glance at Zhang Yunxi beside him, and then look at Zhao Rencheng with a little more interest: "Bring your partner to see your aunt?"
Zhao Rencheng coughed lightly and nodded.
The security guard hurriedly called Li Qiuxiang: "Your nephew is here, and he brought his girlfriend with him. He has so many bags and small things, he must be very nice to you. Not to mention your nephew, even your son is not that nice to you."
Li Qiuxiang only heard three words: "His girlfriend?"
