Chapter 79: Relive the scavenging years

Since Guan Yalian lived in the bachelor dormitory, she has met Guan Yaping very rarely, and Guan Yaping will call from time to time to ask.

"Sister, it's raining heavily, do you want me to drive you to work on a tricycle?"

"No, I have an umbrella here. ”

……

"Sister, it's Sunday, let's go home and eat!"

"No, I want to lose weight. ”

Guan Yalian is still immersed in her own small space, the house in this corner, quiet and comfortable, when she is hungry, Guan Yalian will wash some mung beans and put them in a thermos flask.

About half an hour later, there is a delicious mung bean soup to drink, two cups of mung bean soup after drinking, pour out the mung beans inside, at this time the mung beans are already ripe, eat the original taste, so that make do with two days, you can go to the unit for breakfast.

Guan Yaping this weekend, or let Liu Youran, who went home for the weekend, send Guan Yalian a big watermelon.

Guan Yalian just went down the stairs to fetch water, and happened to meet Liu Youran, who was holding a watermelon.

"Auntie!"

"You're here, who are you coming with?"

"My mom and I went to the supermarket and came back to see you. ”

"Call your mom in for a meeting!"

"No, we also bought two watermelons, and my mom is waiting outside!"

"Well, you can stay at night if you want, you see me here, the light bulb has been repaired, the air conditioning line has been connected, and the remote control has been sent to me. ”

When Guan Yalian first came in, there was not a single light bulb, and the air conditioner was not connected to the power supply, and now the deputy director of the office, Zhang, has repaired these for the workers.

"I'm still living in a separate courtyard! Auntie! ”

"Okay!"

Liu Youran has already obtained her graduation certificate, and Guan Yalian wants her to be admitted to the civil service, but after hearing Guan Yaping say that Liu Youran has her own ideas, Guan Yalian will no longer force it.

After sending Liu Youran away, there were colleagues playing table tennis in the table tennis room downstairs, Guan Yalian cut half of the watermelon and sent it to everyone.

"This melon is so sweet!"

"Did you buy it from the supermarket opposite?"

"No, it should be the supermarket over there in Dongfu Square. ”

Whenever there is a festival, the guild will distribute labor protection supplies, and Guan Yalian always exchanges those things for supermarket tickets for the family's grocery shopping and daily necessities.

Comrade Li Juan has always spent very carefully, this is still Guan Yaping to buy things, Comrade Li Juan will never buy these fruits.

Recently, there are those fruit tree fields near the county town that have been requisitioned for several years, which is simply Comrade Li Juan's paradise, and every time he rides a bicycle to the deserted garden, picks some apricots, peaches, or wild vegetables, and comes back, he can use it as a snack for the whole family.

Of course, most of these unmanaged fruits are small, but they are ripe, and although they are small, they do not affect the taste and nutrition at all.

Comrade Li Juan's greatest joy is to dig wild vegetables and pick fruits every day, but she is also happy.

When Comrade Li Juan was young, he liked to go to the fields to pick up waste, not to pick up rags as he is saying now, but to dig peanuts, sweet potatoes, and ears of wheat in the fields where others had harvested crops.

At that time, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the village shouted that everyone rode their bicycles together, and Comrade Li Juan and her friends liked to go to the beach.

Every time she came back, Guan Yalian would lead Guan Yaping and the children in the village to the bottom of the cliff and sit on the big clod next to the road on the slope and wait, so that they could see far away.

At that time, Guan Yalian's eyesight was very good, and she could see Comrade Li Juan and the women in the village riding bicycles from a distance, and the back seat was the result of a tiring day's work.

Or two big bags of peanuts, or two big bags of sweet potatoes, the children happily rushed down the slope, chirping their mothers, pushing hard behind the bicycles.

The women, most of whom were tired and looked very embarrassed, set out early in the morning with a kettle with some water, took their dry rations, and usually returned in the afternoon when they had almost picked up their bags.

At that time, there was always not enough food at home, and Comrade Li Juan always picked up the most among the sisters, and the things picked up solved the great problem of famine at home.

Comrade Li Juan has not picked up waste for many years, Guan Yalian understands Comrade Li Juan's thoughts, most of which is to save the money to buy fruits and vegetables, because Comrade Li Juan, who is not old enough to find a job, uses his own way to share the worries and problems of the family in line with the principle that what is saved is earned.

Comrade Li Juan is old, and when he sees his children and grandchildren eating the fruits he picks, he will be happy, and he can be regarded as reliving the waste-picking years when he was young.

Li Juan is always afraid that Guan Yalian is too lonely alone, and from time to time she will ask Guan Yaping to call Guan Yalian home for dinner, Guan Yalian doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with a person, and she can think about some things quietly.

Study the stock market and learn the technical terms, such as the stock movements represented by the Double Flying Crow or the Red Three Soldiers.

Guan Yalian has been very entangled in the fact that some new APPs can earn diamonds by completing reading tasks, and it takes a lot of time to complete the tasks, and the income is very disproportionate to the pay, should you uninstall them?

It's a waste of time to complete tasks, watching videos and reading articles, in fact, it's also a kind of learning.

Some exquisite works have given Guan Yalian a lot of inspiration and the strength to persevere.

Guan Yalian felt a lot of emotions in an Iranian movie, the title is "Children of Heaven", also called "Little Shoes", the director pays attention to the whole process of an ordinary child to realize a dream in his own way with an extremely warm gaze.

A sense of care and warmth permeates the film. The two children in the film seem to have no traces of performance.

Brother Ali is a child who always has a melancholy look, in addition to being innocent and smart in his dark eyes, there seem to be some small thoughts hidden in them.

I accidentally lost my sister's old and only shoes that were almost impossible to repair.

My sister is a cute and sensible little girl, with beautiful big eyes, and a very innocent and lovely smile when she is happy.

Ali's only old sneaker became the only pair of shoes for the two of them to go to school, and Ali didn't let his sister tell her parents about the loss of her shoes.

Not only was they afraid of being scolded by their parents, but they were afraid that their father would increase the pressure because he didn't have the money to buy them new shoes.

The child's world may be the best in life, innocence, kindness, friendship, positivity, etc. are shown in the film by throwing away a pair of sewn shoes as the main line, bringing the audience not only pity and sympathy for the two little protagonists, but also moving, praise and encouragement.

The poverty of Ali's family is almost unimaginable to the people of our country now, and even so, the children still feel like they are living in paradise.

Their wish is so simple and unpretentious, just a small pair of shoes.

In terms of family warmth, Guan Yalian feels that the current Lao Guan family is not lost to Ali's family at all, and everyone in the Lao Guan family is working hard and insisting silently for the sake of their family.

Comrade Li Juan, an ordinary rural woman, bears a psychological burden that she cannot bear, but still insists on making her own contributions to her family.

In the face of debts, Guan Yalian knew that the old Guan family did not complain to each other, but tried everything to solve the problem.

A place where my mother is there is home, and even though I am renting someone else's place now, I still feel that my home is there.

In recent days, there are still traces of rats in the office, and Guan Yalian is highly nervous when she enters the office every morning, first carefully looking at whether there are any mouse corpses on the ground, and then looking at whether there are any sticky things on a few sticky mouse boards, and then carefully distinguishing whether there are traces of rat invasion.

There were a lot of traces, but the rats were still not caught, so Guan Yalian began to clean up, and her colleagues also walked in one after another.

Everyone carefully cleaned their desks and chairs with disinfectant, and their mood was a little heavy, and they didn't know where the rats had crawled.

The rat is really tenacious, and it didn't get hit in front of so many bait, and played five high-IQ humans around.

Lao Deng said: "This rat is definitely a master, and he is fighting wits and courage with us here!"

Xiao Gao said: "Now we are risking our lives when we go to work! This rat is too, so he recognizes our office, the neighbor's office does not leave the food all day long, and I don't see them harassing us, and the leaves in our office are not spared." ”

Guan Yalian silently wiped the table, Lao Deng opened the WeChat on his mobile phone, and immediately said: "The city bureau is going to hold the 'Tax Cup' sports meeting, let everyone sign up enthusiastically!"

"What are the sports events?"

"I watched, there are mainly table tennis and badminton team competitions, look at the overall score, one men's singles, one women's singles, one men's doubles, one women's doubles, and one mixed doubles, and no concurrent events are allowed. ”

"It's so complicated!" Guan Yalian asked, "When will it start?"

"The preliminary date is early July, who is on the list of our Table Tennis Association?"

"I can't remember so much, the list was handed over to the party office at that time. ”

Lao Deng is the president of the Table Tennis Association, and the key to the usual activity room is kept by Guan Yalian, and when no one is playing, Guan Yalian rests upstairs at noon.

In the case of not going to the bachelor dormitory, Guan Yalian wanted to live in the activity room at night.

Now, the Lianshao City Taxation Bureau holds the "Tax Cup" sports meeting, and Guan Yalian can't shirk it no matter what.

simply actively assisted Lao Deng in organizing this competition.

Of course, participating in the event has the advantage of participating in the event, exercising one's body, the bureau must issue a unified sportswear, and Guan Yalian's T-shirt can be given to Guan Yaping to wear.

What's more, during the competition, the bureau will always unify food and lodging, so that it can be calculated and save a few days of food expenses.

Lao Deng was very active and went up to the fourth floor to find the list, and after a while, he recorded all the male and female members of the association on paper, and then asked Guan Yalian who else played table tennis well.

Unexpectedly, most of the young people in the bureau do not know how to play table tennis, and most of the players this time are over 50 years old, and they are all old people who have often participated in competitions over the years.

The rules explain that there are five male and female athletes, and the male colleagues are okay to say, there are six who have signed up, but they can't make up five female comrades if they pick them up.

Guan Yalian called several people with a foundation one by one, either because she couldn't leave for work or because she was taking care of her children.

In this way, under the mutual persuasion of everyone, five people were finally organized to put down the family, and as a result, the oldest was 51 years old, and the youngest was 43 years old.

So, I went to work eight hours a day, and only trained table tennis after work in the afternoon, everyone practiced very seriously, the amateur coaching level was not bad, and several people made rapid progress.

Guan Yalian's level is the best among the five people, and she was initially assigned to play mixed doubles, and the overall level of Tongzhou County is not very high, and the coach almost gave up singles, and it is good to play at will when the time comes.

The three doubles were injected with a lot of hope, and according to the coach, it was up to these six people to score the points.

Guan Yalian is usually in good health, but in the past two days, her legs hurt so much that she couldn't squat, and the coach said that she didn't know how to relax.

It feels so good to sweat, sweating profusely every day.

The weather was originally very hot, and the floor of the table tennis activity room of the bureau was tiled, and it was very slippery, and they were all older people, and anyone who fell couldn't stand it.

So, the table tennis room of the original national tax has become the main place for everyone to train, the former leader is a table tennis enthusiast, although the table tennis activity room is small, can only put a table tennis table, but the ground is plastic, more professional.

But when it was being renovated, I don't know why, the team cut the line of the air conditioner, and the electrician came to see it and said that it was at least 1,000 yuan.

This can stump Director Li of the office, the expenditure of more than 500 yuan must be agreed by the top leader, and it happened that the first leader held a meeting in Lian Spoon City for half a month, and Director Li did not dare to disturb the leader.

This makes these table tennis players miserable, and they sweat profusely after a while, and it is really like entering a sauna.

Despite this, everyone is still training seriously, and no one wants to perform too badly in the city game.

When I first started to make a budget, I also considered changing the rubber on the racket for everyone, and some people didn't have a racket yet, so they would stick a racket.

In the end, the leader gave the standard, the standard of 800 yuan per person, including buying sportswear.

A few people combined, only enough to buy sportswear, not even sneakers, let alone sticky rackets.

The opening ceremony must be a short-sleeved trousers, a short-sleeved shirt and a short-sleeved competition, which has not been changed, if the first day of the game is soaked, it must be washed at night, and the next day will continue the game.

The bureau's funds are tight beyond imagination, and Deputy Director Zhang is in charge of the hosting of the games, and has high hopes for the table tennis team, requiring that at least the top eight must be reached.

From time to time, I would come to the venue to see everyone, and after two weeks of training, I finally waited for the leader to come back.

Under the persuasion of Deputy Director Zhang and his former colleagues in the State Taxation Department, after repeated verification, the cost of connecting the air-conditioning line was at least 600 yuan.

The leader agreed, and in the end, the original team was called to do maintenance, and the air conditioning line was connected without spending money.

Since then, the players have been able to train in the cool room.

The coach often called some friends to come over to do sparring for the athletes, and Guan Yalian got to know many table tennis enthusiasts.

During the training, there was also good news, the original said that the national tax comrades were reduced by more than 700 yuan, and the local tax comrades were raised by more than 200 yuan, and the wages of the original national tax comrades remained unchanged, and the original local tax comrades were increased by more than 800 yuan.

This is great news, starting to make up in January, which means that Guan Yalian has nearly 5,000 yuan in back wages.

Moreover, the salary will also increase in the future, plus the full attendance bonus at the starting point, there will be an income of about 7,000 yuan.

Guan Yalian's wish to get rid of credit cards has not yet come true, and it will be almost before the end of the year.
