Chapter 649: The Story Within the Story
Arrived at the side study.
Ding Li entered the compartment and took out a sealed cardboard box, from which he took out his previous bibliography and a Zhongyi book.
"Take it home and read it first. As for speaking English, you can come and ask me, or you can learn by listening on the radio."
Thinking that she definitely didn't have it, I picked up the new simple radio on the table and gave it to her.
Lin Yiyi didn't expect him to be so kind. After receiving it, she felt extremely grateful, "Thank you, Master Ding."
"I will make good use of your book and radio and will not break them."
Ding Li saw that she was not so reserved in front of him, and the smile on her lips became more. He said in a calm and low voice, "Ms. Lin, I am looking forward to your progress."
"Um."
Lin Yiyi agreed with a smile, ran downstairs happily, and took many turns to avoid places where people usually came and returned to her own warehouse.
The place was so cramped that I would bump into the wall when turning around, and I could only lie on the bed to read or listen to the radio.
The living conditions are really bad.
But infinite hope rose in her heart.
The steps are upward, and with a little progress every day, she will definitely get better and better.
Lin Yiyi brought out the enthusiasm and motivation of the golden three years and wanted to tear the book apart overnight.
Unfortunately, my memory doesn't allow it.
Beibianze County
Zhao Sheng is now in a dilemma. There is a shameless Tian Meihui in the city, and there is a mother in the countryside who wants to see marriage partners every day.
There is no other way except to run long distances and stay away from the crowd.
But for the long-distance freight trips that take place once every two weeks, he always has to go back, and the factory’s communication office would call him almost every other day.
In response to what my mother said, he just responded perfunctorily or remained silent.
You can't hit or scold them.
Zhao Sheng had never hated two women so much, they just happened to take up the seats.
The temperature is rising, the cold is dissipating, and as April comes, spring is here.
Zhao Sheng traveled to the northwest and south, trading in mountain products from the north and dried goods from the inland sea, and made a lot of money.
But he always felt empty inside.
I no longer have the same fighting spirit as before.
When he arrived at Qianzhen in the south, Zhao Sheng somehow found the middleman at Luohu Port and asked him about things in the port city.
“Have any lesbians been repatriated during this period?”
"In the past two weeks, more than a dozen people were deported. They took the eastern mountain route and were caught. They were all gay men. I haven't heard of any lesbians."
The middleman saw what he meant and teased him, "You are so worried about that female comrade, why don't you go with her? Or leave her behind?"
"..." He didn't want to stay? It was obviously she who insisted on leaving.
There was a dim light in Zhao Sheng's eyes, and he could not tell what was going on, nor did he have anywhere to vent his distress.
In fact, he had never thought about leaving his hometown, let alone going to Hong Kong City and risking being caught and imprisoned. He had worked hard to become a fourth-level worker, and everything was hard-earned. To be honest, he couldn't give up completely.
Zhao Sheng couldn't let her go, so he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the middleman, saying helplessly, "Please keep an eye on her for me. If there are any female comrades who are repatriated, remember to contact me."
What you can’t get is always the most regrettable.
Lin Yiyi was like a nail stuck in his heart, often causing him pain and discomfort.
The wound will not heal with time, but will only grow deeper and deeper, growing into his heart and making it impossible for him to forget it.
During the short time they spent together, those bits of memories became clearer and clearer in Zhao Sheng's mind. He even remembered her mischievous expression when she was playing tricks on him.
He also hated his own superb memory.
During the busy spring season, people in Zhaojiatun are busy working in the fields to earn work points.
After two light rains, all kinds of wild vegetables and mushrooms emerged in the mountains.
Wang Caihong was so angry about her second son Zhao Sheng that she was busy every day. She took time out at noon to run to the town to call him, but no one answered four out of five times.
When I asked the people in the factory, they found out that they were doing long-distance freight transportation.
It's obvious that she dislikes her mother's nagging.
Asking him to find a partner is like asking him to die.
The more Wang Caihong thought about it, the angrier she became, and she even cursed several times. When Tiedan was in the family before, she would get an extra seven yuan per month, but now it is just the fixed five yuan pension.
In two months, my younger son Zhao Cong and my younger daughter Zhao Lili will also graduate, so some things have to be planned early.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Caihong decided to go to the city to find Lao Er after she was busy for half a month.
While making calculations here, we are also making calculations there.
After get off work, Tian Meihui went to the steel plant again, but unfortunately, Zhao Sheng was still not in the factory.
Today is already the 18th day, why hasn’t he come back yet?
Thinking about him, Tian Meihui could no longer bear it and went to the logistics office of the transport team to inquire.
It was time to get off work, and most people in the office left ten minutes early.
Only Jiang Hongqing, an accountant, was still working overtime to prepare the reports.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Hongqing looked up at the door and saw who it was. Her face froze for a moment, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, comrade. Is this the logistics department of the transport team?"
"What's the matter?"
Tian Meihui walked in with a smile, "I want to ask, when will Comrade Zhao Sheng, who is doing the long-distance freight, return to the factory?"
The gossip in the factory became known to everyone. Jiang Hongqing had also seen her. Seeing her rushing to find Zhao Sheng, she was very annoyed.
"have no idea."
Seeing her indifference, Tian Meihui took out a few more candies from her bag and said, "Comrade, can you please help me and tell me a little bit?"
Jiang Hongqing glanced at the table, raised her hand and knocked away a few candies, and her face changed immediately, "How can the employees' work tasks be disclosed to outsiders?
This is an office space, not a place for you to meet someone.
Please leave immediately if you have nothing to do."
Tian Meihui was frightened by her and felt uncomfortable. If she didn't want to eat it, then she didn't have to eat it. Was there any need to throw all the candies on the ground?
She is not good-looking and has a bad temper. If she didn't cause trouble in the factory, she would not let her off easily.
Tian Meihui picked up a few candies, gave a hateful look, then turned around and left the office.
Jiang Hongqing looked at her back as she left and spat at her, "What a shameless thing! She kept pestering Comrade Zhao, scaring him so much that he had to hide away and drive a long-distance truck."
Other female comrades would have died of shame long ago, but she acted as if nothing had happened and even dared to come to the office to ask people.
The person guarding the gate of the factory didn't know what he was doing, so he let everyone in.
When Jiang Hongqing returned home that night, she told her biological father about this matter. Jiang's father also understood his daughter's thoughts but couldn't persuade her, so he had to save face and ask his junior colleague to pass the message to the gate.
The security guard received the message early the next morning, and from then on he really did not allow non-factory employees to enter the factory.
Later, when Tian Meihui came to the steel plant again, she could only wait outside, and she was seen there for several days in a row.
Instead of waiting for Zhao Sheng to return to the factory, he ran into a country lady arguing with the security guard outside the factory.
When the old lady turned around, Tian Meihui recognized who she was. It seemed to be Comrade Zhao Sheng's biological mother!
She had only seen him twice, once at her cousin's wedding and once on New Year's Eve this year.
Although Tian Meihui was not sure, she still walked forward to listen to the fun. When she heard from her that they were looking for Zhao Sheng, she was overjoyed.
He hurried forward and pulled the aunt over to help her speak.
Wang Caihong seemed to recognize who she was, and now she had help, she started talking again.
"I used to be able to come in when I came to see my son, why can't I come in now?"
"Don't mess around with rules and regulations. We country women can't understand."
