In the early morning of July, the weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle. It was not yet 90 o'clock in the morning, and the heat was not over for the time being.

Liu Haizhong, wearing a blue undershirt, held his hands behind his back as he hurriedly chased Xu Aiguo toward the factory along the street, while constantly sizing up the groups of young men and women passing by with his eyes.

The team of high-spirited young people is much stronger than last month.

After all, now that schools are on summer vacation, the number of students has naturally doubled.

Forty-nine cities are no better than rural areas. When students are on vacation, they have nothing to do except play. They have no chance to pick up a hoe and go to the fields, so why not just follow these young people and fool around.

As a result, there are not as many pedestrians on the street as there are young students.

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to look at it anymore. After taking a second look, he quickly looked away, lowered his head, and quickened his pace.

As for the red slogans on the walls on both sides of the street, they are still bright and eye-catching.

Especially against the background of the big-character posters with black characters on a white background, it is difficult not to notice.

Those big-character posters were posted and torn off and re-posted, but no matter what, they never dared to cover the slogans painted with red paint.

Liu Haizhong glanced slightly sideways, then hurriedly continued towards the factory.

But when he arrived at the factory, he saw that there were not many people in the huge factory, and his face suddenly darkened.

Originally, he thought Xu Qing secretly revealed some important things to Xu Aiguo.

I never thought about it, I was just too preoccupied and nothing happened at all.

Liu Haizhong stood at the door of the third workshop of the fitter department, with his hands still behind his back. He looked at Xu Aiguo who was cleaning the workshop, turned around and hurried back to his own machine tool workshop in depression.

Xu Aiguo straightened up and said hello, and his bangs snorted.

Seeing the second uncle wiping his head and leaving, Xu Aiguo didn't even think about what he was doing here. He held the broom and continued busy with his own affairs.

And Liu Haizhong returned to the machine tool workshop, holding a cigarette from the corner of his mouth, feeling unspeakably depressed.

I followed Xu Aiguo to the factory early in the morning, and now I can’t even go back to eat.

The distance between the compound and the factory is not very close. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. But since we have already come here, it is not worthwhile to go back again.

I had no choice but to take a long puff of cigarette and sit in the workshop waiting for others to arrive.

At the same time, in the courtyard, Xu Qing made breakfast in the kitchen of his house in the backyard, finished it with his third brother and the little girl, and then walked out of the house to prepare for work.

When passing the middle courtyard, the three elders Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Qin Huairu also happened to be going to work, so they walked through the front yard together and walked along the alley toward the street.

However, just when the four of them arrived at the entrance of the alley, they met two brothers, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, from the third uncle's family.

We haven’t seen each other for more than a year. The two brothers have grown a lot taller, but their temperaments remain the same as when they left last year.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at it, reached out and grabbed Yan Jiefang, who was walking with the large group, and said:

"Jiefang, Xie Kuang, where did you two boys go? Do you know how worried your parents are about you? Why are you running around like this? Go home quickly!"

Yan Jiefang rolled his eyes at Yi Zhonghai, shook off Yi Zhonghai's hand, stretched out his collar, then patted his clothes and said:

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, be careful when you talk to me. Do you know my current status?"

Yan Jiefang flashed the red band on his arm as he spoke, his face full of pride.

Yan Jiekuang echoed: "Xu Qing, Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, the four of you, keep your eyes open and watch. My second brother is now our squad leader. You should stop being so close."

"Yan Jiekuang, you have grown up with your second brother, how can you speak?" Silly Zhu looked annoyed, tilted his neck, and rolled his eyes sharply at Yan Jiekuang.

Xu Qing looked at the two brothers coldly and ignored them.

These two brothers are slightly stronger than Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family, but they are constantly plotted by the third uncle, so the relationship between father and son is not particularly good.

The third uncle didn't beat them very much, and he didn't believe in education with sticks like the second uncle, but after all, let alone everyone in the compound, even his own sons couldn't stand it.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang have been away for more than a year. Not only have they not sent a letter to the third uncle and the third aunt, they have not even asked anyone to send them a word.

At this time, they had arrived at the door of their house. The two brothers had no intention of going home and actually followed the team and left again.

Xu Qing was speechless, secretly feeling that if the third uncle knew about it, he would probably die of grief.

Qin Huairu said nothing, looking at the two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang who were already drifting away, and only sighed softly.

She has no intention of getting involved in other people's affairs right now. Her three children, Banggan, Xiaodang, and Sophora japonica, are getting older year by year, and the expenses on food and clothing are getting bigger and bigger.

However, the monthly salary she earned in the factory was not much, and her life was very tight.

If it hadn't been for Shazhu's relief, it would have been impossible to open the pot.

As for her desire to ask Xu Qing to borrow money, she had been pondering this idea in her mind for several months, but in the end she was too embarrassed to ask.

Because Xu Qing’s family has more money to spend than hers.

Xu Qing has three younger brothers and sisters. The little girl is about to enter high school and will live in school with Feng Ming. Xu Aiguo just graduated from high school last month and joined the factory a few days ago.

Xu Fengming and Xu Xiaoya, one will have to read another year, and one will have to read for three years.

Xu Qing was a cadre in the factory, and the salary was higher than her, but Qin Huairu didn't know how to open his mouth.

Borrowing money has always been paid, and the salary she paid every month, after buying rice noodles and oil in the house, there is still the remaining money.

No, how can I borrow it in the future?

Therefore, Qin Huairu can only rely on the silly pillar to relieve it.

And the silly pillar only needs to read a book for He Yushui, and has not got married yet. It is most appropriate to find him because you don’t need to pay it out.

Furthermore, borrowing money is also to inherit humanity. It is less owed and long.

Qin Huairu thought about it, and sighed in his heart for a long time, rationalizing his thoughts, and following everyone to walk in the factory slowly.

During this time, the production in the factory can barely maintain operation.

This is the power of the factory's long -term tiger. Please ask the big leaders to help me, don't let people come to the factory to make trouble again.

However, the efficiency and progress of production are loose, dragging and pulling, and cannot return to 65 years.

The people outside did not come to the factory, but the factory was undercurrent, and there were signs of internal struggle.

Deputy Factory Director Li secretly tossed, trying to get a title, and to do a job as a job.

However, this kind of thing can not be done at once. Vice Factory Director Li moved everywhere and kept trying to pave the way for himself.

Xu Qing regards this, ignore it.

What is his deputy to the deputy factory, what is he willing to do, casually!

Anyway, Xu Qing couldn't control it, and I was too lazy to pay attention.

Of course, in the future, the troubles in the factory are the deputy director Li.

But Xu Qing doesn't matter.

In the factory in the past years, Xu Qing has been following the rules and has not made a mistake. Even if Vice Factory Director Li takes advantage of the opportunity to organize his black materials, it is also a bamboo basket to hit the water. Can't.

On the contrary, Deputy Factory Director Li wanted to do it blindly, Xu Qing had controlled his handle.

When eating at noon cafeteria, Xu Qing did not stay with Qian Bing and others in the office, but patriotic, Ma Jiefang, Wu Yuemei, and Ermazi sitting together.

Looking at the second brother who was tired of one morning, Xu Qing turned to look at the Ermazi, who was 100 times more spiritual, and couldn't help but say two sentences.

"Ermazi, don't toss my brother all day, the person in the workshop, teach my brother alone, I really thank you!"

Ermazi smiled, pinching chopsticks: "Qingzi, our buddy is so good, your brother, that is my brother, can I make him lazy one day?

After entering the workshop, you will have to rely on craftsmanship to make a living. If I don’t teach him carefully, what will I do if you complain about me in the future?"

Xu Qing rolled his eyes at Er Mazi and said directly: "You taught me that I don't object, but if you tire my brother out, then I will never be done with you!"

Er Mazi smiled innocently, "Hey, from now on, buddy, I'll just have to be careful in the future."

Seeing this, Xu Qing said nothing more.

The second brother will continue to study in a few years. Although it is not a bad thing to use two or three years to learn a skill, it may not be usable after Aiguo leaves the factory and goes to university for further study.

On.

College students are so popular, who would be willing to work in a workshop?

After going to work in the afternoon, Xu Qing finished the little things he had in the office and had nothing else to do. While chatting with Qian Bing, Tian Zhongqing, Wei Shengli, and Chen Guodong, he received a notice that the factory had given

His bike quota.

Xu Qing was instantly happy and hurriedly left the office to get the bicycle ticket.

Everything is in a mess these days, and the issuance of bicycle tickets in the factory is not as strict as before.

Of course, Xu Qing joined the factory in 1962 and was promoted to work in 1963. He is already 67 years old this year.

After all, I worked in the factory for five or six years.

During this period, he has never taken the initiative to apply, and since he is a cadre, it stands to reason that as long as he applies, the factory will arrange it as soon as possible.

It is also worth mentioning that the five people in Xu Qingtong’s office have been given bicycle tickets by the factory one after another in the past two or three years after they took the initiative to apply.

After all, the factory still attaches great importance to cadres.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Shazhu learned that the factory had given Xu Qing a bicycle ticket today, so he shouted to take a look.

Xu Qing took it out and handed it to him. Silly Zhu could not put it down after seeing it.

Qin Huairu was even more envious.

However, she and Shazhu are just ordinary workers and do not receive such treatment.

The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong are naturally not qualified.

It’s not like the factory will give bonuses to those who have worked longer. If that were the case, the quota every year would not be enough.

When Xu Aiguo saw that his eldest brother had received a bicycle ticket today, he was happier than anyone else.

As soon as he returned to his room in the compound, Xu Aiguo told his third brother and the little girl about the incident.

When Xu Fengming heard this, his eyes lit up, his face showed excitement, and he pestered Xu Qing and said:
Chapter completed!
