Chapter 13 thirteen cups of green tea
Tong Xuelu pinched her sore and stiff shoulder. She didn't want to continue the work.
In textile mills, weavers and stevedores are the most tiring types of work, but stevedores can still have a rest, but weavers cannot. They have to work overtime from work to work.
I can't stand it.
She has to change her job!
Just when the snow green was so tired that he wanted to get down, the work bell rang.
Her eyes lit up like a flock of sheep that had been released from the fence, and she ran with the workers towards the canteen.
"have a nest."
Li Xuelu came to the window and handed over the prepared food stamps and the rice basin.
Master Huang of the canteen beat Wo Wotou into her bowl and asked, "Comrade Xiao Kui, are you full enough to eat only one Wotou every day?" Don't you want some meat? "
The snow green showed an awkward smile that was just right: "No, wait until you get paid."
Hearing this, Master Huang and other workers around her gave her a sympathetic look.
Because of the propaganda of Xu mother and Qiu Gan, now almost everyone in the family yard and textile mill knows that not only her parents are dead, but also her grandmother is crazy.
It's a pity, but she's only eighteen years old, and the burden of the family falls on her.
Director Ma of the workshop came over and said, "Master Huang, give her a Fried Baked Scallion Pancake and an order of fried meat with cabbage. Food stamps and meat stamps are all mine!"
Tong Xuelu hurriedly waved his hand: "Director, no, I can eat Wotou."
Director Ma could not be refused by her, snatched her lunch box and handed it over: "what are you polite to me? can't I afford this food?"
Her little daughter is going to get married next month. The man is the son of the deputy director of the Bureau of Education. His family is well-off, and he is also very energetic. She attaches great importance to her little daughter. The bride price alone gave her 180 yuan, followed by a sewing machine, watch and radio.
They discussed these things and did not leave any of them for the daughter to take. At the same time, she also wanted to give her a long face and buy her a bike to make three turns.
It's just that bicycle tickets are very rare, and you can't see one all the year round. Although you can still buy bicycles with ordinary industrial coupons, you need 50.
The number was so large that there was still a shortfall of seven tickets for the whole family in two or three months. don't know where she knew her difficulties. When she came to work the next day, she came to her with seven industrial tickets and asked her to use them first, but she didn't get paid for anything!
Do you think such a kind-hearted little girl can not be liked?
Not to mention inviting her to dinner, she is willing to treat her to ten meals.
He couldn't stop it, so he had to say thank you to Director Ma. Looking back, Master Huang gave her more weight than others, then hurriedly said thank you, and then Director Ma took him to the table to eat.
Director Ma took a bite of Fried Baked Scallion Pancake, looked around, and said in a low voice, "the factory director will be back today. I'll help you urge his pension later."
Wang Xue, with watery eyes, said gratefully, "Thank you, Director. When I was a child, others said that I was very lucky and could always meet dignitaries. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. You see when I come into the factory, don't I meet dignitaries like you, director?"
Being said to be an honorable person, Director Ma immediately smiled so much that he could not see his teeth and said, "you are such a child, what kind of noble person is not expensive?" But if you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me! "
"Thank you, Director. It's the greatest blessing in my life to meet the director."
Xiao Xue, with red eyes, looked at her with gratitude and admiration.
Director Ma's heart was full, and at the same time there was a sense of sacred mission.
Such a poor child, she should take more care of her. it is one thing to invite her to dinner, and less night shift will be arranged in the future.
At noon, Director Yu came back as expected.
This time his mother was ill in the countryside. when she called, she said that she was dying and told him to hurry back. He hurriedly arranged his affairs and left.
In the past few days, he drove all night and stayed up late to take care of his mother. He was so tired that he was out of shape. When his mother survived, he drove back to Beijing all night.
As soon as he sat down, Director Ma came in with a serious look on his face when he didn't even have time to take a sip of water.
"Director Yu, I have something to say to you about the Tong family pension."
The factory director put down the enamel jar in his hand: "you say."
Director Ma from how hard-working Tong and his wife were before they died and how poor their children were after they died. He also said that the mother of Li Dajun had gone crazy. All in all, what happened to the Tong family could be said to be extremely miserable. If the factory director did not give the pension to Kui Xuelu quickly, he is a heartless man!
Of course, people who can sit in the position of factory director can't be fooled in a few words: "you mean that the daughter of army is back and is still working in the factory, right?"
Director Ma nodded: "the child works hard and takes special care of his brothers and sisters. He is a very reliable child."
Director Yu waved his hand: "all right, I see. Please ask her to come over."
He doesn't believe Director Ma.
A man who can be disregarded by his own biological parents is a fart!
Director Ma did not know what the factory director thought, so he stood up and hurriedly went to inform Luo Xuelu.
After saying thank you to Director Ma, Luo Xuelu went to the factory director's office without panic.
The vast majority of people who can be called green tea are first-class people with first-class powers of observation.
As soon as Tong Xuelu entered the door of the office, she immediately sensed the dissatisfaction of the factory director against her.
The explanation was pale at this time, and she decided to strike first.
As she went in, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and said, "I heard that the mother of the factory director is not very well. I have a prescription left by the imperial doctor in the palace, which has the effect of strengthening the body." the factory director will see if it is suitable. "
"."
If you want to blame the factory director, it is stuck in your throat, and if you want to refuse, it is also stuck in your throat.
The prescription of the royal doctor is a good thing.
His mother's body was spoiled in her youth, especially in the years of the Great Famine, she was skin and bones in order to save food for their brothers and sisters, but she couldn't get better later on.
He paused, picked up the prescription and said, "this prescription." Where are you from? "
Tong Xuelu said nonsense solemnly: "it's from my adoptive parents."
In fact, the prescription was given by an old Chinese medicine doctor in a previous life. it has a certain nourishing effect on the body, and most people can use it.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Kui."
Tong Xuelu has a clever appearance: "the factory director is welcome. Please put away the prescription quickly and don't let people see it."
Yu folded the prescription into his pocket and asked, "Why didn't you show up when something happened to your parents before?"
After what happened above, his tone softened obviously.
Who knows the snow green eyes red, a second to start her performance.
"I know that in the eyes of the factory director, I am an ignorant child, but my parents who have lived together for so many years suddenly said that they were not my parents. I was really scared and confused at that time. When I was not afraid and confused, my parents whooped."
"once there was a sincere affection in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it. This is the most painful thing in the world. If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to my parents: I'm sorry!"
In the end, she looked sad and burst into tears.
Yu's director was most afraid of women crying. When he saw her crying into tears, he suddenly said, "stop crying!" Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and this person will do something wrong, not to mention that if you are young, your parents will certainly forgive you if they know! "
Xue Xue looked at him with tearful eyes and said, "really?" Will my parents really forgive me? "
The factory director nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"
Tong Xuelu made a look of peace of mind: "hearing what the factory director said, I feel a little better."
Director Yu was relieved to see that she finally stopped crying.
Before, he thought the child had no conscience, but now, seeing that she burst into tears and said so many sincere words, he thought that he might have misunderstood her.
What's more, he took a prescription from her, how could he say anything to blame?
Kui Xuelu dried her tears and said earnestly, "it's useless to talk about things in the past. Now I just want to work hard to support my three younger brothers and sisters and wholeheartedly train them to become talents who are useful to the country and the people." in the future, please organize and supervise me! "
"very well! It is rare that you have this awareness at a young age, and you will continue to do so in the future. "
Kui Xuelu is in high spirits: "I am the factory director. I will devote my heart and soul to the factory and the Tong family, and strive to become an active member of the workers' team!"
Hearing the words, the factory director finally nodded with satisfaction, reached out to open the drawer and took out the pension inside.
He originally planned to give the pension to the Tong family, but now it is not as unreliable as it is rumored to be, so it doesn't matter if he gives the pension to her. Anyway, they all belong to the Tong family.
Tong Xuelu came out of the office with the pension, looked around and sniffed the envelope.
It smells like money. It smells so good.
But acting was so tired and hard that she decided to skip work and give herself a holiday.
Soon, she got a request for leave from Director Ma in the workshop.
Reason for asking for leave: to buy a tonic and send it to my crazy grandmother back home.
Director Ma sees that she is so filial, where is there any reason not to criticize her?
When he came out of the factory, he went straight to the state-run hotel.
When we arrived at the state-run hotel, there were no other guests in the hotel because it was past dinner.
Two waitresses are sitting and chatting.
"Comrade, is there any meat now?"
In order to create an image of a poor family, she only fried green vegetables or sauerkraut at home these days, and her mouth almost faded out of the bird.
"No, no, no.
The waitress with short hair replied impatiently.
With this service attitude, if you put it in modern times, you will be drowned by human spit every minute, but in this day and age, waiters are so proud!
Tong Xuelu will not be angry at other people's rudeness: "what else is there to eat now?"
Another waiter with long hair said, "there are mung bean sugar water and red jujube steamed cake. Do you want it?"
"if you want it, give me one each."
The long-haired waitress said, "A bowl of mung bean sugar water costs ten cents a bowl, red jujube steamed cake costs nine cents, a total of 20 cents, and food stamps, two or two sugar tickets."
It's so cheap.
Tong Xuelu hurriedly paid for the money and tickets.
The long-haired waitress took the money and tickets to bring things over, and then threw herself into the cause of chatting.
Mung bean sugar water is not sweet enough, but red jujube steamed cake is not bad.
Tong Xuelu was eating while her brain was spinning.
Beihe hometown should receive a letter in the past two days. It is only a day and a night's journey from Beihe to Beijing. In other words, they should come here next week.
Now that her hukou is ready, her pension is available, and her station has been sold, on the whole, her task has been completed.
It would be even more perfect if you could change yourself to an easy job.
Just then, the voices of two waitresses came from behind--
"Why does your cousin want to change places with you? you both work in a state-run hotel. What is there to change?"
The long-haired waitress sighed: "my cousin, her mother-in-law and husband always beat her. She wants to find a job far away from home, so she doesn't have to live at home, maybe she won't be beaten."
Although she sympathizes with her cousin, her family is here, not to mention that she has no place to live in the city, is it difficult for her to rent a house?
"I think even if you were willing to change, her mother-in-law and husband wouldn't let her come over!"
"you were right. She called the next day and said she wouldn't change it. Later, she heard my mother say that she only mentioned it and her husband broke her head."
The snow turned her green eyes.
A state-run hotel.
It's a good job. I'm not tired and I can eat and drink spicy food every day.
And she likes to cook, and the job is almost tailor-made for her.
Tong Xuelu swallowed the red jujube steamed cake in one gulp, ready to start her performance again.
The author has something to say: Tong Xuelu: Oscar owes me a golden man.
