Chapter 209 Arranged Marriage in the 1970s 3
As he walked out, Cheng Yanling received looks all the way.
This is the largest electrical equipment factory in H city. Based on the characteristics of the times, the factory at this time is a small society, especially the large state-owned factories.
The facilities here are complete, ranging from kindergartens to technical schools, hospitals, etc. It is a small society.
And this factory is the largest state-owned factory in the city, and has more natural people.
As almost the highest cadre in the factory, the affairs of the Cheng family have always been closely watched. Especially when they heard that Cheng's father's girl who had been missing for more than ten years had returned, many people were watching.
Cheng Yanling knew from the memory of the original owner that in the month since she came back, people would come round the corner almost every day to watch the excitement.
However, she was thin and dark, completely different from the glamorous Cheng family. She looked like a little village girl who came from a ravine, so even if everyone didn't say it, most of their eyes were a bit mocking.
Especially Du Miaoxue has many admirers, and there are even more girls who are hostile to her. The appearance of the original owner is like a breakthrough. People who hate Du Miaoxue think that the original owner appears and is the real eldest daughter of the Cheng family. They expect them to fight and destroy Du Miaoxue.
Get out.
People who like Du Miaoxue think that the appearance of the original owner has disrupted Du Miaoxue's life, especially since this person is not good-looking, weak and ugly, and should not have such an excellent family.
Not many people have a normal attitude toward her.
Therefore, the original owner had a hard time every day after she came back. She almost counted the days and didn't go out much. So far, not many people have seen her.
Until Yan Ling came here and became the original owner.
Not long after, a few more people deliberately passed by her. After passing by, they immediately stopped and whispered to her back.
The voice should be kept low, just enough for Cheng Yanling to hear it.
Fortunately, Cheng Yanling was not the original owner. He had seen many different looks and was not moved at all. He was just a little surprised. This group of people was quite well-informed. Who knew the truth?
After running through the people the original owner knew in her mind, she zeroed in on Cheng Xiaoxiao and sneered, but her methods were still so childish.
Although the original owner in the previous life was obedient and did not dare to resist and agreed with Mr. Mu, she also encountered rumors and rumors. Some people even came to her and accused her of not being worthy of Mu Ze and that Mu Ze should be let go.
Mu Ze is the eldest grandson of Mr. Mu. His father is the factory director and is in charge of everything in this large factory. He himself graduated from Kyoto University and entered the factory after graduation. Now he is a third-level technical worker, with a monthly salary of eight
Ten yuan, I am good-looking, polite, and the girl in the factory likes me the most!
Now she was overtaken by a little village girl from the countryside. Both those who liked Mu Ze and those who liked Du Miaoxue were unhappy and took turns blaming her.
This actually aroused the original owner's resistance. Even if he was told that he was crying, he did not let go and just married into the marriage under the arrangement of Mr. Mu.
But she didn't expect that this would be the beginning of her nightmare.
But now Cheng Yanling made a clever move and asked Mr. Mu to draw other descendants over to "select concubines" for her. Although Mu Ze of the Mu family was the most famous, the others were also very good, so everyone was even more shocked.
This girl is not simple!
It’s time to come and see who it is.
But when I saw it, I was very disappointed, and at the same time I felt sorry for the grandchildren of the Mu family who were about to be ruined.
After reading it, everyone murmured in a low voice: "Mr. Mu is so confused!"
"I wonder if those grandsons know about it? You have to tell them, but don't really come back to see me!"
——
Cheng Yanling didn't take it to heart at all and left the factory all the way. However, as soon as he left, he felt a little confused.
The starting point of her first time travel was Dachang, and she was still born in Bai Fumei. Although she is a little poorer now, the location is different after all.
There are no high-rise buildings, but there are buildings everywhere. The streets have the characteristics of the times. They look old but not old. The streets are clean. There are not many people in the early morning. Most people have already started to go to work. A small number of people have not gone to work.
They are also in a hurry to go to school.
Everyone is busy, with yearning smiles on their faces, and a sense of relaxation and comfort in their busy lives.
It was so comfortable that even Cheng Yanling felt a little envious.
Apart from being poor and backward, this era is really quite enjoyable to a certain extent.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yanling found out the approximate location of the night school from the memory of the original owner, and got on the bus to go there.
One of the bus stops happens to be the night school.
It's only twenty minutes away.
When Cheng Yanling got there, she first asked the guard to sign up, and was taken directly to an office where there was a teacher specifically for registration.
Although the night school is said to be a night school, classes can be held during the day, but there are not many people in the half-day class. Most people work during the day and only have time to come in the evening.
Cheng Yanling couldn't even produce a certificate of reading for the first grade of elementary school, but due to the special nature of the times, these certificates were not needed. As long as he said he knew the words, after passing the assessment, he could do something special, without having to read step by step.
Teacher Wang, who was in charge of admissions, said with a smile: "You did a good job on this paper, full marks, and your handwriting is good. It's okay."
Cheng Yanling immediately said: "Does that mean it's okay for me to go directly to junior high school?"
"No problem, it just depends on whether you go to a technical school or a regular high school when you graduate from junior high school?" Teacher Wang reminded: "If you have this progress, it is estimated that you will be able to take the entrance exam next year, so you can think about it in advance."
Cheng Yanling nodded obediently and paid another five yuan for tuition. The matter was settled. She would officially start school tomorrow and follow the same small class during the day to take junior high school courses.
The school helps with other things.
After the biggest thing was done, Cheng Yanling left the night school and went to the mall. When he came out again, he had a lot of bags in his hands, and he had used up the tickets given by Cheng's father.
Originally, she wanted to get her hair done again, but her hair was too boring now, so she decided to take care of it first, so she went to the drugstore to get some medicine instead.
The original owner had endured hardships since he was a child and was physically weak. He suffered from major and minor illnesses. He was nineteen years old and had his first menstrual period some time ago.
With five yuan left from the thirty yuan in his hand, but he couldn't buy anything, Cheng Yanling went back with unfulfilled intentions and asked for more votes next time.
As for asking Cheng's father for money, there was no obstacle for her.
Not to mention that the original owner's mother left a lot of things behind, but the original owner's grandfather also said that he left a portion of property to the original owner and told Cheng's father to give it to her after he found the child.
When the original owner got married in her previous life, Cheng's father brought them back to her.
This father has no feelings for the original owner, but he is still willing to give what should be given.
When I got home, it was still early.
There was no one else at home, so Cheng Yanling boiled medicine for herself first.
Not long after it was cooked, the bitterness of the Chinese medicine filled the whole room, and as time passed, it also drifted out.
——
It's about eleven o'clock at noon.
Father Cheng and others also came back one after another.
It was rare for Zou Ping to go with Cheng's father.
Because there is a girl at home who is free now, so she does not need to cook, so she can rest for a while.
Although she doesn't like Cheng Yanling, it's not useless to say that Cheng Yanling is here. She comes to cook at noon and evening, and she can also do the sweeping, mopping, and laundry work at home, which is good.
On the way, she met her youngest son after school. Zou Ping waved, and Cheng Xiwen came bounding over, curiously asking: "Mom, why did you come back just now? What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Sister Lingling will cook for you at noon. You'll find out when you get back." Zou Ping said with a smile.
Cheng Xiwen curled his lips dissatisfied: "I don't like her cooking, it's not delicious at all."
Zou Ping said helplessly: "Sister Lingling is not familiar with these dishes. Just wait and cook them a few more times."
Father Cheng also nodded: "You should also teach her more. I think she was lazy this morning. She married into the Mu family and made people laugh. She was not good at all..."
"Okay." Zou Ping smiled and nodded.
As the couple talked, they arrived near their home. They were quite puzzled when they smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine. When they walked in, they realized that it was from their own home.
Except for Cheng Yanling, there is no one else at home.
The two looked at each other and hurried in to see that the first floor was empty, with only the smell of medicine still lingering. Cheng Yanling was not there, and lunch had not been made.
Father Cheng frowned and wanted Zou Ping to ask, but when he realized that Cheng Yanling was not familiar with this stepmother, he had no choice but to go upstairs and knock on the door first.
After a while, Cheng Yanling opened the door: "Is something wrong?"
Father Cheng: "Why didn't you cook at noon? You didn't get up to cook in the morning. If your mother hadn't stopped me, I would have come to call you anyway. And why does the house smell like Chinese medicine?"
Cheng Yanling was not angry. After he finished speaking, he said slowly: "I went to see a doctor. The doctor said that I am weak and need to take some medicine to recover. By the way, I have no money. Please give me more money."
Father Cheng's face turned dark and he asked for money again!
However, her reason was valid, so Father Cheng gave it to her. This time, Cheng Yanling said it was not enough as usual and asked for fifty. When the money was in hand, she smiled and said: "As for cooking? I will start going to school tomorrow, and I will go to school in the future.
Now that I’m a human, I won’t do these housework anymore.”
"Going to school? You're getting married and yet--" Cheng's father frowned, trying to teach him a lesson.
The door in front of me slammed shut.
Father Cheng: "..."
This heartless girl!
He really came here to collect debts, and he has no manners at all.
He was so angry that he glared, but after all he was a civilized man and couldn't do anything violent. After being angry for a long time, he finally got off his feet and said to his expectant wife: "The child said she wanted to go to school, and she won't be able to do anything in the future."
It’s time to cook.”
Zou Ping's smile froze slightly. Unfortunately, she was the stepmother, so she couldn't give too much advice, so she could only reluctantly say: "That's right, I still did it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Father Cheng patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Zou Ping: "..."
Who the hell wants such dry comfort?! If you have the ability, help her with some work!
However, after saying this, Father Cheng sat down on the sofa, took a newspaper and read it. He did not forget to urge: "Hurry up and cook, Miaomiao and Xiaoxiao will be back soon."
Zou Ping: “…………”
She gritted her teeth and entered the kitchen. Her son was still behind and said, "Wow, that's great. Finally, it's not the one who cooks. It doesn't taste good at all."
