Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and forced himself to stop thinking. Anyway, he was currently in the early 1980s. Many things in this era were still very backward, and people simply would not imagine that thirty years later.
The shocking and unbelievable life changes that have taken place in this country.
"It's better to go back first, at least I'm still alive now~" After mocking himself, Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers. With a snap, his right index finger ignited a light blue flame.
Although flames of other colors can be used, Ma Xiaoquan still prefers the Lan Ming Holy Fire because this kind of flame is very stable and not particularly overbearing and difficult to control.
With the faint illumination of the flames, Ma Xiaoquan quickly identified the direction of his return.
...
The next day, Master Wang took the initiative to chat with Ma Xiaoquan. Although the two had a good chat, Master Wang did not mention the delivery of parts throughout the process, and Ma Xiaoquan did not ask. The two of them chose to avoid the topic in a tacit understanding.
Before getting off work in the afternoon, Zhao Minglan, whom he hadn't seen for several days, suddenly came to the factory gate.
Zhao Minglan was originally good-looking and had a particularly good figure. Even now in the early 1980s, when everyone was still accustomed to wearing looser clothes, her proud figure could not be completely concealed.
The bell rang for getting off work, and the first thing a group of workers saw when they walked out of the factory was Zhao Minglan. Almost everyone twisted their necks and looked at each other as they walked. Even though Zhao Minglan didn't pay attention to them, they couldn't help but want to get up and take a look.
Take a look.
Finally, two co-workers couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and asked, "Girl, who are you here to see?"
Zhao Minglan smiled politely and said, "Yes, I'm looking for my brother Ma Xiaohu."
When they heard that she was Ma Xiaohu's sister, the co-workers all laughed and said, "Oh, Xiaohu's sister, okay, I'll call her for you."
Zhao Minglan smiled politely at the two of them.
In the factory, Ma Xiaoquan is making the last workpiece. Because the work has to be delivered tomorrow, the workpiece has not been completed yet, so he plans to work overtime to finish the workpiece, so as to avoid Director Liang coming over to make trouble when work starts tomorrow.
Just as I was about to take off the cutting knife, I heard a coworker’s voice coming from behind me: “Xiaohu~~your sister is here to see you.”
Ma Xiaoquan smashed it, and could only put down the cutting knife first, and said: "My sister? Which sister am I?"
A co-worker stepped forward, hugged Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Xiaohu, please stop pretending. Be honest. Does your sister have a partner? Can you introduce her to us?"
Ma Xiaoquan blinked, tilted his head and cocked his neck and looked towards the factory door. When he saw it was Zhao Minglan, he responded: "Oh, you said my sister Lanlan, no, she still has to go to college, you...
....No culture, just a big boss, no way~ no way~~"
"Why can't it be done~" Another fat worker said unconvinced, "We are in a state-owned enterprise, and a monthly salary is not bad. There are many people who want to come in but can't."
"That's right~"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to get involved with them, but everyone worked in one factory and one workshop. If he spoke too harshly, he would offend them. After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan said: "After my sister is admitted to university, the country will allocate better jobs. You
It doesn’t matter what the employees working in the riveting factory can do. It doesn’t matter if they can only have a deputy in their lifetime. My sister is different. They are intellectuals and their status will be much higher than ours in the future. Besides, several people who are descendants of high-ranking cadres have mentioned it.
Dear, if Uncle Zhao and Aunt Hong hadn’t disagreed, my sister would have been an official’s wife long ago.”
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately made the matter a bit grand. Anyway, he was bragging, and the co-workers were honest and didn't think too much.
Upon hearing Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, the fat co-worker shook his head regretfully.
"Then, if your sister has any classmates who will work after graduating from high school, please introduce them to us."
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "I have to go back and ask about this~ Okay, I haven't finished the work yet, so you are disturbing me."
The worker snatched the tool from Ma Xiaoquan's hand and said, "Okay, we'll finish the work for you. You go to your sister first and ask her if she has any classmates or anything."
"You..." Ma Xiaoquan scolded with a smile, nodded and took off his work clothes.
Walking to the factory gate, Zhao Minglan came over enthusiastically.
Ma Xiaoquan did not give Zhao Minglan a good look. He frowned and said, "Why are you running here when you have nothing to do? If you don't study hard, why are you wandering around all day?"
Zhao Minglan curled her lips and said: "Who said I didn't study hard? I'm here to tell you today. Someone came to me today and said that Professor Qinghe wanted to accept me as a student. What's better, what's the tuition?
Everything is free of charge, and Professor Qinghe also wrote me a letter of recommendation. As long as I pass the exam, I can go to college."
"Professor Qinghe?" Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered that his aunt's name was Ma Qinghe.
My aunt has never been married. When I asked my father why my aunt never got married, my father explained that my aunt had devoted her whole life to the country's medical career. But my mother interrupted and said that the person my aunt has been waiting for
It didn't show up again, so my aunt was delayed.
No matter what, in this day and age, anyone who can be called a professor is definitely a very powerful person.
Ma Xiaoquan once asked his uncle what his aunt was researching. The uncle just smiled slightly and didn't tell him much, but he gave a summary, that is, the medicine that his aunt was studying was incredible.
"Yes, Professor Qinghe~ Don't you know? She is a visiting professor at Capital Medical University. The Capital has tried to poach her many times, but she just won't go."
"How do you know so much?" Ma Xiaoquan was curious.
"Hehe, a senior came over to me today and told me. I just knew it, so I'm pretty good."
"Awesome? Why are you so awesome? You have to eat some lucky candy to get Professor Qinghe's favor. Don't be complacent."
I thought Zhao Minglan would argue with me, but this time Zhao Minglan hummed obediently and said with a heavy face: "Professor Qinghe has many seniors around him, and all of them are much better than me. I
You have to work hard, so I came to you to tell you..."
Ma Xiaoquan quickly answered: "You are starting to hate me, right? That's great, I can finally..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Minglan slapped Ma Xiaoquan on the back of the head and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that. I meant that I am going to study hard and then participate in the winter recruitment."
"Winter recruitment? Why don't you participate in summer recruitment? Summer recruitment is the right way, right? You can also choose a better school."
Zhao Minglan smiled bitterly: "I think so too, but that guy Mao Xiaoqiang has been harassing me again recently. I want to go out to study as soon as possible. Besides, if I participate in the winter recruitment, I can stay with Professor Qinghe. This is better than being alone.
Now, if there is someone by my side, I won’t think of you often.”
"You shouldn't think about me so often, I'm such a bad person~" Ma Xiaoquan clicked his tongue, "Sister Lan Lan, I really can't be with you."
Zhao Minglan snorted coldly: "I have my own opinion. Unless you bring your beloved object in front of me now, I will give up."
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan was speechless for a while. Ming Yuexin was lying on the hospital bed and didn't know when she would recover. Moreover, she was not in the same era as herself.
"Okay, I can't help you~" Ma Xiaoquan changed the topic and asked, "Is this what you came here to tell me today?"
"Of course...it's more than just this..." Zhao Minglan smiled mysteriously, then whispered softly into Ma Xiaoquan's ear, "I found a good place and want to go with you."
"No!" Ma Xiaoquan simply refused.
"No, you have to go!" Zhao Minglan's attitude was very firm, "I knew you would refuse, so there was no need to discuss, you had to go!"
Ma Xiaoquan was at a loss for life and death. While the two were fighting, he accidentally pressed his hands heavily on the other's chest.
An indescribable feeling of softness came over him instantly. Ma Xiaoquan was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand. Zhao Minglan was also stunned for a moment. Then the girl grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's ear disapprovingly and said: "You took advantage of me, no.
, you must go."
Feeling that he was in the wrong, Ma Xiaoquan could only reluctantly agree, but he made a three-part agreement with Zhao Minglan that if there was any danger, he must leave.
Zhao Minglan smiled and didn't shy away from it, and directly took Ma Xiaoquan's arm.
When his elbow touched her softness again, Ma Xiaoquan was extremely conflicted, but seeing that Zhao Minglan was careless and didn't seem to mind anything, he could only endure it and not think about it.
...
The two of them came to a dilapidated bungalow. Zhao Minglan let go of his hand and pointed at the door of the bungalow: "Have you seen this bungalow?"
"Ang, you saw it, what happened? What's the difference?"
Zhao Minglan smiled mysteriously: "Let's go in with me~"
"Let's talk about it first, what's in it?" Ma Xiaoquan grabbed Zhao Minglan. This girl is really a ghost. If she doesn't stop her, will she go to heaven?
"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of a girl, but you are afraid of a grown man?"
Ma Xiaoquan gritted his teeth and smashed the bar a few times, thinking that this girl was simply speechless. He buttoned his ears and said, "Okay, let's do this. I'll take the lead, and you follow me, okay?"
"Yeah~~Okay~~" Zhao Minglan answered quite simply, but judging from her tone, she should know what is in this shabby bungalow.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and could only take the lead and push open the door of the bungalow.
Although the door was in disrepair and had bolts hanging on it, the moment it was pushed open, there was still a tooth-aching creaking sound, and then an unpleasant smell mixed with dust and decay hit your nostrils.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, resisting the unpleasant smell and looked into the room.
