Because the train is often delayed, seven or eight out of ten times arrived in Shanghai at about ten o'clock, so the group of attendants who went to work at twelve o'clock felt unfair, thinking that they arrived at the station and got off work, and the working hours were nearly ten hours, while the previous batch only had seven and a half working hours, so they protested, so Qi Shufang's working hours were reversed with them, and they would come back to work next time.

At 4:45, ten minutes after the departure, Qi Shufang finished washing up and lay comfortably on the sleeper.

Whoever first protested will regret it.

The first half of the night of the flight attendant is the hardest, the passengers eat and chat, the spirit is excited, the carriage is very lively, there are always all kinds of problems to find the attendant to solve, Qi Shufang in the restaurant often continues to receive passengers with uncertain meal times, until eleven o'clock after the successive reduction, in the second half of the night many passengers can not bear the fatigue and sleep crookedly, the carriage is quiet, the workload of the crew is reduced, that is, the breakfast time and the time before arriving at the station is more busy.

At around 12 o'clock, the exhausted flight attendants repented, and when they arrived in Shanghai, they hoped to return to their original working hours on the way back. However, Qi Shufang's flight attendants in the same batch tasted the sweetness of easy work in the second half of the night, how could they be willing? The two groups of people were noisy, but in the end they still asked Sister Wang to call the shots.

Sister Wang had a straight face: "You said that you would transfer the class, why did you think so beautifully? You protested first, and now regret it, what's the use? Take turns." I'm going to write a list and stick it in the sleeper car. ”

Many glared at Xu Hong, who was the first to protest.

It's her, it's her, it's her who feels that she goes to work for ten hours in the second half of the night, and He Shengnan can sleep comfortably until the terminal before getting off the train after only eight hours, and she feels unbalanced in her heart, and encourages everyone to ask Sister Wang to be fair and just.

But thinking of the backstage that Xu Hong often mentions, that is, her father, the flight attendant who has no backstage and cherishes the job opportunity very much suddenly died down, and he couldn't say a word of dissatisfaction. Xu Hong's father must be very powerful if he can be the section leader of the maintenance section, and he is just a small flight attendant.

Xu Hong doesn't care, in fact, she thinks it's good to change shifts.

She sat in the radio room, without facing the noise of the carriage, without having to take on heavy work, working hours were reduced by two hours, and her throat felt less dry and sore than before.

Everyone dispersed quickly, He Shengnan laughed secretly for a while, and said Xu Hong's provocation.

Qi Shufang actually knew that it was Xu Hong, but she didn't say it.

"There must be someone in this group of flight attendants who remembers Xu Hong. Hehe, deserve it, who made their ears so soft, just seeing the length of the working time, and protesting to the conductor without thinking about it. However, it is easier for you to transfer to work in the second half of the night, but poor me, the work has not been lightened, but has been aggravated, and it has been extended by two hours. He Shengnan was very complaining.

She has a hard backstage, full of confidence, and her popularity is better than Xu Hong, her image accent is a little worse than Qi Shufang, but she is much stronger than Xu Hong, she is not afraid of not knowing the goods, she is afraid of comparing goods, although she is not a goods, but with Xu Hong as a comparison, it is easy for others to accept her.

After working for more than nine hours in the second half of the night, Qi Shufang was a little sleepy and decided to take a nap.

After listening to He Shengnan's complaints, she smiled slightly: "Nonsense! Don't think that I didn't hear the number of broadcasts in the second half of the night, considering the rest of the passengers, the songs only started to play in the early morning, and you don't have to recite and propagate the leader's thoughts by yourself like you did in the first half of the night." ”

He Shengnan touched his throat and said with a smile: "You found out, no wonder my throat doesn't hurt as much as before." ”

"I worked for more than nine hours in a row, and then I cleaned up, and now it's over, I'm so tired that my back hurts, aren't you two tired?" Ou Mingxiang leaned over and said.

"Tired!" the two said in unison.

You look at me, I look at you, Qi Shufang sneered, "I'm going to eat, and I'll rest for a while after eating, what about you?"

"I'm going to eat too. ”

He Shengnan spoke, Ou Mingxiang was not to be outdone, the three of them took the lunch box to the restaurant, came back after eating, washed up briefly, and saw that most of the colleagues in the same batch of work were like this, looked at each other and smiled, and each packed up and went to the sleeper.

Qi Shufang didn't rest very well, the colleagues who worked in the first half of the night slept enough in the second half of the night, and now the spirit is still very excited, although some people see a colleague resting, and consciously lower their voices when they speak, and some of them go out of the station to go shopping, but there are still a few people chattering and laughing, without scruples.

More than an hour later, Qi Shufang, Ou Mingxiang, and He Shengnan opened their eyes one after another, sat up, and looked at each other helplessly.

I couldn't sleep at all in this environment, but fortunately, I could recover a little after lying down with my eyes closed for a while.

After Zhang Xiaodie was transferred from her post, He Shengnan moved to the sleeper where she lived, and He Shengnan's original sleeper was transferred to the maintenance section to fill Zhang Xiaodie's lack of Jin Yufeng.

Jin Yufeng, Qi Shufang, and Ou Mingxiang are the same batch of employees hired by the Railway Bureau, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

When she was first hired, she was supposed to be trained in the passenger depot, but three months later she was assigned to the locomotive depot, and now she has been transferred back to the passenger depot, which makes her dizzy.

"The train is still under maintenance, let's go shopping!" He Shengnan said.

Ou Mingxiang happily agreed, and quickly got off the sleeper, but Qi Shufang thought that she only had more than 70 yuan in her hand, and there was still more than half a month before the next salary, the amount of more than 70 yuan looked not small, but when she bought industrial goods, it seemed very little, and it was really a pain for her to go shopping and not buy things, so she politely refused.

Ou Mingxiang took her arm, "Shopping is just to watch the excitement, you don't necessarily have to buy things! We don't have tickets and industrial coupons in Shanghai, so we can't buy many things." ”

He Shengnan instigated: "Go, go, let's go to the First Department Store first, and then go to the thrift store." ”

"That's right, Sister Shufang, you should go shopping with us!"

"There was a queue to go to the thrift store to buy something, maybe it was our turn, and there were no more items inside. Qi Shufang was the most experienced in this area, raised her hand and looked at her watch, "It's almost three o'clock now, the salesperson gets off work, and the store is closed, can we go now? ”

"There's no need to spend money on the bus, let's walk, visit the first department store today, and go to the thrift store tomorrow morning. Ou Mingxiang did not hand over her salary to her parents this month, and she said that she wanted to buy herself a blouse.

Qi Shufang thought about it and agreed.

The three of them are very young, in their twenties, and they can see that they have not suffered much, so they have changed into their own clothes and taken off the three blooming flowers.

Qi Shufang was wearing a royal blue woolen coat and navy blue trousers, and black leather shoes, steady and steady.

Ou Mingxiang wore a red plaid blended tweed blouse on his upper body, black pants and black cloth square shoes underneath, all of which were half-new, combed with two braids hanging from behind his ears to his chest, and his forehead was covered with thin Qi bangs, which was cute and cute.

He Shengnan was wearing a navy Lenin suit, carrying an army-green satchel and a belt around his waist, with a heroic posture.

Sister Wang, who came to inspect them, saw them and couldn't help but say: "Yo, these are three of the golden flowers in a group of flowers in our train! Are you going to go out?"

"Yes, conductor, let's go for a walk. He Shengnan opened his mouth and smiled.

"Go, go, remember to come back on time in the evening, don't linger outside, and don't go to the middle of nowhere. Because they are all young lesbians and they are all beautiful, Sister Wang specially admonished her.

"Got it, conductor!"

The three of them happily walked out of the train station and walked in the direction of the First Department Store. As train conductors who often spend the night in Shanghai, and occasionally buy groceries for neighbors, relatives and friends, they have long been familiar with the path to the First Department Store.

On the way, I met Yun Bai and Jin Yufeng, and when I learned that they were also going shopping, everyone happily walked together.

Jin Yufeng had a hearty personality, and looked sideways at Ou Mingxiang and Qi Shufang, "Have you heard?"

"What?" Qi Shufang and Ou Mingxiang looked puzzled, "Brainless, what are you talking about?"

"Zhang Xiaodie! I just met Xiao Li in the maintenance section, and he told me that after Zhang Xiaodie was transferred to them, he cursed Shufang every day, saying that Shufang was a stingy ghost, that the train conductor had no sympathy, that she was okay with you, and that she didn't intercede for her. It's so ugly that Xiao Li is embarrassed to repeat it. ”

The workers in the locomotive depot are more hard, mainly responsible for the maintenance and operation of the locomotive, that is, the train driving and repairing the train.

Most of the workers in the depot are men, and there are very few female workers, and although they are more relaxed than male workers, they are heavier than flight attendants.

"She said hers, her mouth was on her face, and no one else could control her. Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and it's not that I didn't give her a chance to repent, but that she didn't want to grasp it. Qi Shufang didn't regret it at all, because a few pieces of toilet paper guide Zhang Xiaodie was recorded as a major demerit and then transferred out of the passenger section, and after stealing became a habit, no one could afford the consequences. Later, I heard Yunbai say that the dry food she brought to the car was occasionally scarce, which was caused by Zhang Xiaodie, but she couldn't find evidence to complain, so she could only admit that she was unlucky.

Yunbai's family is poor, and her salary alone needs to support her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces, a total of ten people, but fortunately, her family is a household registration in Gupeng City, and everyone has a fixed ration every month, so that ten people will not eat 30 catties of grain.

However, Yunbai is very frugal, except for buying a penny of soup on the train, he usually eats his own wowotou, which is black and not as big as a fist, and is said to be made by kneading sweet potato noodles and sorghum noodles together, but Qi Shufang can often see that the wowotou is mixed with obvious bran and vegetable leaves, which accounts for almost half of the wowotou.

He Shengnan frowned: "Jin Yufeng, didn't you tell the workers in the locomotive depot that Zhang Xiaodie was transferred because of theft?

"That's it, just scold me, it's me who doesn't give up, why are you scolding the conductor and Ming Xiang?"

Qi Shufang was secretly glad that she had turned her face early on, and if she continued to get along with such a person, she didn't know what kind of trouble she would bring to herself.

Hearing Zhang Xiaodie say that he didn't intercede with her, Ou Mingxiang was no longer angry, "It's just unreasonable! I'm wrong if I don't intercede with her? Isn't it my public and private distinction? Also, when will I get along with her? I obviously have a better relationship with Shufang." "The relationship between her and Zhang Xiaodie is the relationship between the same batch of hires, nothing else.

He Shengnan couldn't help but continue: "Some people are like this, obviously because they have made mistakes and received due punishment, but they put the responsibility on others, thinking that it is because others are not good that she has fallen to this point. I can almost guess Zhang Xiaodie's psychology, she must be thinking, or already saying, that Shufang is too stingy, that's why she did this kind of thing, every qiē is Shufang's fault, if it weren't for Shufang's aggressiveness, she would definitely not be demerited. My mother said that people in the world always like to sympathize with the weak, and even because of sympathy, they erase the evil things they have done, so that there is a phenomenon that the weak are justified. ”

Yun Bai agreed: "Yes! It's ridiculous, is Shufang's stinginess the reason for her theft? Besides, I really don't think Shufang is stingy." "The last time she went to work, her dinner was only a bowl of crystal clear soup, floating with two cabbage leaves, Qi Shufang didn't say a word and allocated half of the rice poured with meat vegetables for herself, saying that she couldn't finish it, and it was a pity to throw it away.

Yun Bai knew that this was Qi Shufang's excuse, she had a lot of food, how could she not finish it?

She didn't think it was a handout, and no one would insult people with precious food.

Jin Yufeng clapped his hands and said: "Don't say it, there are really many people in the maintenance section who say that Shufang is unforgiving." They said that if Shufang was magnanimous, this matter would be able to be turned into a big thing and a small thing. ”

"Don't they know that it was Zhang Xiaodie's mistake? What a crime it is to steal, how can you say that Shufang is wrong?" Ou Mingxiang was very unhappy, his eyes and eyebrows wrinkled together, "Zhang Xiaodie did this kind of thing and did not repent, spreading bad words about the train conductor and us everywhere, and I felt embarrassed to be hired with her." When this news gets out, what do other people think? Do you think that we who came in with her will also look at her?"

Qi Shufang smiled: "That's her personal behavior, anyone who has a little brain won't think so." ”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Jin Yufeng, "Yufeng, if you see Comrade Xiao Li again, you can tell him, let him pay attention, stealing gold when he is a child, Zhang Xiaodie insults us unscrupulously, and we can see that she has not repented." ”

"That's what I told Xiao Li, and Xiao Li said that he would pay attention to it in the future. Jin Yufeng hurriedly said, she was transferred to the passenger section, of course she knew the inside story, and looked down on Zhang Xiaodie's behavior, what a good job opportunity, she didn't cherish it so much, and Qi Shufang didn't care about her, if she was investigated, she would definitely not be demerited, but go to squatting in labor reform.

Zhang Xiaodie is like the rat poop in a pot of porridge, when it comes to her, everyone's mood is not very good, and when she enters the first department store, she turns her mind to the dazzling array of goods, and feels that her eyes are not enough to see.

Qi Shufang tried her best to curb her shopping, and didn't buy a single thing.

Ou Mingxiang and Jin Yufeng didn't have tickets from Shanghai, and Yunbai was reluctant to spend money, so they didn't make a move.

Only He Shengnan lived a good life and had no burden of life, so he spent thirty-two yuan and two cents to pull a piece of water-red jacquard satin, and spent thirty-seven yuan and eight cents to pull a piece of dark green silk, which had the words "Hangzhou Silk Factory" on it.

"It's so expensive!" Yun Bai patted his chest, "My monthly salary is not enough for you to buy a jacket for face." ”

Jacket face, yes, He Shengnan said that the water red jacquard satin made a cotton jacket for himself, and the dark green silk made a cotton jacket for her mother.

He Shengnan hugged two pieces of silk and said with a smile: "It's a bit expensive, but you don't need a ticket! Cotton cloth is cheap, and you can't even buy a thread without a ticket." Didn't you rest at home a few days ago? My mother happened to be on vacation, and she nagged at home, saying that this neighbor's daughter lived in Shanghai and sent Shanghai goods to her parents, and that neighbor's son went to Shanghai on a business trip and brought Shanghai goods to his parents. Isn't it just that the bus driven by her old man only goes to Nanjing? I'll buy her Shanghai goods to make sure she can show off!"

Qi Shufang couldn't help laughing: "Shanghai goods are so good?"

Who doesn't know that Shanghai goods are among the best, sweeping the north and south of the river, and in the yard where we live, if anyone has a thing to buy from Shanghai, they will be angry!"

"However, the silk you bought said that it was Hangzhou Silk Factory. Ou Mingxiang interjected timidly.

Jin Yufeng and Yun Bai snorted, laughed, pointed to the silk in He Shengnan's arms, and quipped: "Yes, you can't be considered a Shanghai product, right? It's not a Shanghai brand, it's a Hangzhou brand." ”

He Shengnan's eyebrows were raised high, and he snorted: "But I bought it in the No. 1 Department Store in Shanghai, you remember, I bought it in Shanghai, and the important thing is the word Shanghai! Not Hangzhou." Imported Swiss watches are also made in Shanghai? But who wants to wear a Swiss watch bought from Shanghai, which can make people envy to death. Shufang, the watch in your hand is a Swiss watch, right?"

"Well, clubs. ”

He Shengnan nodded and said in a low voice: "The quality of the watches produced in Switzerland is quite good, there is no brand of products that are not too hard, our domestic watches have not reached this level, and the price is cheap, but unfortunately there is no ticket to buy." I just noticed it at the counter, and it's worth more than 300 like yours. ”

"It's just that the attitude of the salesperson is not bad, looking at us like looking at the countrymen. Ou Mingxiang couldn't help but interject, looking at it with contemptuous eyes, now he feels like a thorn in his back when he leaves the department store.

Jin Yufeng sighed: "Where is the salesman not like this? ”

"I sue you, it's nothing. The salesmen of many state-run stores have a bad attitude, they are not serious about their work, their attitude is very bad, and their bad face towards the people in the city is already good, and in their eyes, the countryman is not as good as a piece of. Of course, this is only a part of the salespeople, and it doesn't mean that everyone is like this. He Shengnan was shopping in the department store in Gupeng City, and this happened to her, when she was young and vigorous, so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and quarreled with the salesperson.

Yun Bai had never done such a thing, because she knew the arrogance of the salesperson, "But we don't look like we are dressed in the countryside, why does the salesman who sells clothes look at us like a piece of? Let's stand in front of the counter and look at the style of clothes, don't we just stand for a while? That breath, it's really ...... I've never heard such a nasty thing. ”

Yun Bai looked down at his clothes, which were the same as Jin Yufeng, they were all railway suits, without patches.

Only the railway sector has uniform clothing in the world.

Needless to say, Qi Shufang, He Shengnan and Ou Mingxiang's dress, although they are not new clothes, they are all good materials at a glance, and it is difficult for ordinary people in the city to have such good clothes.

"A lot of salespeople are like this, you buy, they don't have a good face and a good tone, you just look at it and don't buy it, hehe, they immediately go crazy!"

Qi Shufang still can't forget the scene when she went to the county department store for the first time, although her family and the Huo family have close contacts, but for Zhou Guohong, there is a thorn in her heart.

He Shengnan agreed with what Qi Shufang said, "Yes, it's like this in our Gupeng City, not to mention Shanghai." In the eyes of most Shanghainese, except for Beijingers, people from other cities are from the countryside. However, the last few generations of them are not actually Shanghainese, and a large part of them have migrated from Ningbo. There were too many Ningbo people who migrated over, but they assimilated the real Shanghai dialect, and Allah became the representative of Shanghai dialect. ”

"And that's the first time I've heard that. Qi Shufang has been to Shanghai many times, and she knows that some Shanghainese look down on outsiders, but she doesn't know about Ningbo immigrants, and she doesn't know that "Allah" is actually a Ningbo dialect.

Jin Yufeng, Ou Mingxiang and Yun Bai all expressed their insight.

"I heard from my dad and my mom that they used to come to Shanghai on business trips a lot. He Shengnan stopped talking after explaining, and his attention was still on Qi Shufang's watch, "Where did you buy this watch?

Qi Shufang smiled slightly: "No, my lover bought it at the place where he works." ”

"Your lover is so kind to you, and you can see that you must be living happily. He Shengnan exclaimed, and then said with a sad face: "My father's colleague said that he wanted to introduce me to someone, but I haven't met yet, so I don't know what kind of person it is." ”

Seeing her so troubled, Qi Shufang, Jin Yufeng and Ou Mingxiang were puzzled, and Yun Bai was very envious, and said: "When we girls reach a certain age, which one doesn't want to worry about lifelong events? You are a few years younger than me, someone will worry about you, unlike me, my father and mother will not agree to let me marry in a short time." ”

"Why?" Qi Shufang didn't ask as fuss as He Shengnan and Ou Mingxiang, she guessed that it should be Yunbai's parents who were afraid that Yunbai would have no one to support the family after she got married, so they didn't agree with her early marriage.

In fact, it's not early, Yunbai is twenty-four years old this year, and he is less than twenty years old, and he has been married for nearly two years.

Although Yunbai never mentioned it, her family lived not far from Qi Shufang's house, and lived in a small courtyard with the three families, and Ye Cuicui next door liked the east and the west family, so Qi Shufang knew her family situation.

Yun Bai smiled and didn't answer.

Qi Shufang didn't want to poke people's scars, Jin Yufeng was more mature and sensible, Ou Mingxiang and He Shengnan were innocent and arrogant, and they quickly threw the questions they asked that could not be answered to the clouds, and everyone pooled money to scrape together food stamps to go to a nearby state-run restaurant to eat a delicious meal and then go back.

Yun Bai's face changed slightly, Qi Shufang immediately found out, and smiled euphemistically: "Let's go again next time I have a chance, the conductor told us to go back early, let's not rub in." The food in the restaurant is also very good, no worse than that of the state-run restaurant. ”

He Shengnan said happily: "Finally, everyone came out together, why did you mention the train captain?"

"The conductor is for our good!"

"You're right, my mom told me to be careful outside. He Shengnan remembered that his mother mentioned a lot of bullying of educated youth, and he was bloody, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Let's go back quickly, save the train conductor nagging, she is very familiar with my aunt." Let's go eat fried buns and noodle soup together tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, only Qi Shufang and Ou Mingxiang accompanied He Shengnan to have breakfast together, and Yun Bai and Jin Yufeng did not plan to go out.

However, this did not affect their friendship, and five young women from different families with different living conditions gradually came together to form a group that was difficult for others to get into.

At this time, the friendship was simple and sincere, without any interests, and all came from like-mindedness.

Tong guò got along, and Qi Shufang learned a lot of things.

Ou Mingxiang lives in a dual-income family, a native of Gupeng City, with four older brothers, who have high or low incomes, but all have formal jobs, all of them are married and have children, and they live in houses divided by units, and do not live with their parents and sisters. Ou Mingxiang is the youngest, and she is a girl, she is the most favored at home, and she has developed an innocent temperament.

Jin Yufeng is from a county town below Gupeng City, her father works at the post and telecommunications office, and her mother, two sisters and one brother are all at home.

He Shengnan only said that she was an only daughter and her parents were both working, but Qi Shufang had heard He Jianguo mention her family background.

Among them, Yunbai's family conditions are the worst, not counting her, the burden of life for a family of nine is all on her tender shoulders, but she is very strong, she does not complain to anyone, and still often serves as Commander Tang.

Commander Tang is a person who only drinks one bowl of soup at a meal, regardless of gender, old and young.

Qi Shufang once mentioned this nickname in the miscellaneous records she had read, many people were reluctant to spend money in order to get married, or to have a heavy family burden, and they would support their stomachs with a bowl of clear soup for a meal, so that most of them died young, which is embarrassing.

So, when she went to work, she occasionally brought a half-piece of game to Chef Wang to stew, and shared it with He Shengnan and the four of them.

In order to take care of Yun Bai's dignity, she never gave Yun Bai alone.

He Shengnan is smart by nature, and he sometimes brings a few eggs from home, asks Chef Wang to make egg soup with a lot of egg drops, sometimes brings some meat skin from home, asks Chef Wang to stew cabbage, sometimes brings edible sugar, and asks Chef Wang to make egg tea directly for breakfast.

Not to be outdone, Ou Mingxiang followed suit.

Although Jin Yufeng and Yunbai's conditions are a little worse, they are both regular workers and have a certain supply of non-staple food, so they certainly have the right to speak as the pillars of the family, so they will also bring a little bit of what they are usually reluctant to eat to share with everyone, and they do not take the kindness of their friends for granted.

That's good.

Qi Shufang brought a hare that went to Xishan to hunt yesterday, did not go back to her hometown and went back to the city directly, after peeling the skin and cramping, marinated it with salt a little overnight, and hung it up to the point that it did not drip water.

She quietly slipped to the back kitchen and asked Chef Wang to braise it when the meal arrived, divide it twice, and get it herself when the time came. Just as he was about to pay the dime, Chef Wang held up his bulging general's belly, his face was oily, "Shufang girl, don't give me money." You really want to thank me that this hare is ready, let me eat a few pieces and make a tooth sacrifice. ”

Qi Shufang smiled, took out another hare from the cloth bag and handed it to him.

"Knowing that you have the best bite, I will give you one, and you can make us a braised hare with your heart. "The chef is in control of the food of everyone on the train, and Qi Shufang must of course try her best to establish a good relationship with him.

"Don't worry, in the future, if you ask me to open a small stove, I won't be paid. ”

Chef Wang's eyes narrowed into a slit, grabbed the hare, and put it in the basin next to him, which was generous and generous, without the slightest intention of hiding it. Everyone often asks him to process his own grain, especially when it is hot, he can't bring dry food, and he doesn't want to spend money to buy it, so he brings his own rice grain and asks him to do it.

The state does not allow private transactions, but allows mutual gifts, including various tickets, and Qi Shufang's bicycle is marked with the words "No transactions, gifts allowed".

To achieve the goal, Qi Shufang returned to the sleeper car.

It's only three o'clock now, and the health of the train has been cleaned, before the time for the passengers to get on the train, everyone sits together and gossips, He Shengnan is lying on the head of Ou Mingxiang's bed, with two feet crossed behind, "Shufang, I just knew that your lover works in the office of the municipal party committee, and I haven't heard you say it." She often told her parents interesting stories about her work, who the friends she had made, and told them about them, but she learned from them that Qi Shufang's husband He Jianguo worked in the municipal party committee office.

When her father mentioned He Jianguo, he was very appreciative, saying that he was calm and practiced, advanced and retreated, and was a rare intellectual in the office, and his future was limitless.

Lao Tzu is a hero, Lao Tzu is a reactionary bastard.

This kind of fanfare of descent leads workers, peasants, and soldiers from all walks of life to first follow the composition, and then talk about the cultural process, and there are often many illiterate cadres as cadres. Obviously, the son of a hero is a hooligan for all kinds of evil, but because of a hero Lao Tzu, he has become a good man with good roots, and some people with bad ingredients have good character, but they are affected by bloodline and are beaten into the dust.

When her mother taught her, she quietly mentioned this matter at home, and often lamented that the theory of descent was not progress, but a retrogression, and that the feudal society did not pay attention to the peasants and businessmen?

It is an unspeakable sorrow for the uneducated to despise the knowledgeable.

Although He Shengnan is young, she is deeply cultivated by her parents, and she has great respect for intellectuals with good character in her bones, and has advanced ideas of equality between men and women, and at the same time she is full of disgust with some chaotic social phenomena.

She originally liked Qi Shufang's personality, but now that she knows that her husband and her father are in the same unit, she is even happier.

Qi Shufang was wearing a railway uniform, folded the changed clothes, and prepared to go down and put them in the rattan box, listened to her words, and said with a smile: "You didn't ask, how did I say it? Didn't I say it? He is an administrative level." ”

He Shengnan opened his mouth, and before he could spit out a word, he saw Sister Wang come in with a female colleague, who was between twenty and twenty-five years old, and the railway clothes on her body were dirty and had not been washed for a long time, and her face was full of sadness, looking very vicissitudes, not the staff in their train.

Qi Shufang and Ou Mingxiang in the lower bunk glanced at each other and recognized her as Jiang Hongli, who was hired with her.

When several girls were admitted, they had exchanged each other's names and ages, Jiang Hongli was a few months younger than Jin Yufeng, and now she should be twenty-four years old, and Jin Yufeng was twenty-four years old at the time.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. Sister Wang clapped her palms, waited for everyone to calm down, focused her eyes on herself, and said: "This Comrade Jiang Hongli is everyone's worker, and like everyone, he will contribute to the railway and serve the people wholeheartedly. Now, her family has encountered great difficulties, life is unsustainable, ask the leader of the unit for help, the leader explained to me to handle it, I am here to ask everyone to lend a hand and pull her out of the whirlpool of difficulties!"

"What do you mean?" Qi Shufang frowned lightly and asked He Shengnan in a low voice.

He Shengnan rolled his eyes and replied in a low voice: "What can it mean? Tell everyone to donate money and food stamps as one! I have worked here longer than you, and I have experienced it several times!"

Qi Shufang looked carefully for a moment, and sure enough, she found that some colleagues had unhappy looks on their faces.

"Gather sand into a tower, gather armpits into furs, everyone squeeze a little food out from between their teeth, put it together, put it together, ten people can't make it up, hundreds of people and thousands of people will definitely be able to make up the rations of their family of nine! These are nine lives, we can't watch nine people starve to death, right?"

Sister Wang waved her hands and was impassioned, but no one said anything for a long time.

Qi Shufang had never experienced this kind of thing, and had no experience in this area, so she turned her head sideways and asked He Shengnan, who whispered: "It is estimated that it is to collect food stamps." ”

"Do you donate?" Qi Shufang frowned slightly.

He Shengnan said: "Wait until you ask about the situation and then see whether to donate or not." ”

She was bold enough to sit on the top bunk and asked: "Conductor, what is the situation at this Comrade Jiang Hongli's family? I remember that when our railway bureau recruited workers, it was stated that it must be an urban household registration, and I think that Comrade Jiang's family should be an urban family, right? Aren't the residents of the urban household registration supplied with food? Although they are not as good as our regular workers, they are enough to make ends meet. This year's grain is a little more abundant than last year's, and it will not be a disadvantage to urban residents. A few days ago, one pound of grain was exchanged for five pounds of sweet potatoes, and Comrade Jiang's family had nine people, and they could exchange it for 100 pounds of sweet potatoes!"

When others say this, Sister Wang will definitely be unhappy, but it will be different if she is He Shengnan.

Sister Wang smiled, not angry at all, "Comrade Jiang Hongli's family is a household registration in Gupeng City, but there are nine people in their family, and the other eight people are idle at home, all of them rely on Comrade Jiang Hongli's salary alone, and their lives are extremely difficult. Life could not go on, and Comrade Jiang Hongli had to ask the unit for support. ”

He Shengnan said dissatisfiedly: "Conductor, you haven't answered my question yet! Since Comrade Jiang's family is registered in Gupeng City, is the supply of grain not enough to make ends meet? Adults have 21 catties of grain even if they don't work for a month. I have heard that the city leaders have already issued a statement that all urban residents must receive the corresponding sweet potatoes according to large, medium, and small households. If Comrade Jiang's family had not been registered in an urban area except Comrade Jiang Hongli, and there had been no food supply, life would have been difficult, but the situation you mentioned had not reached the point of imminent death, right? What if their family was dying of starvation, and the other urban residents with a larger population and almost no work?"

Yunbai's family has ten people, all supported by Yunbai alone, nine people have no job, Yunbai has worked so hard and has never caused trouble to the organization, and has never complained to others, Jiang Hongli's family has one less person than Yunbai's family, and their family does not seem to encounter any irresistible factors, how can they have the face to ask everyone to donate food?

Jiang Hongli hurriedly said: "My family is in trouble. ”

"What difficulty?"

Not only He Shengnan asked, but other colleagues also spoke.

Everyone's food stamps are not easy to come by, and no one wants to donate them to others for no reason, like the kind of good people and good deeds advertised in the newspapers, everyone has a praising attitude when they don't happen to themselves, and they keep saying that they will emulate Comrade Lei Feng, but in fact, they are not very willing to do their own turn, most people do not have such a high consciousness, and they will only do good deeds if they do not want to become backward elements.

Of course, if the other party's family is really at the end of the mountain, everyone will definitely do a little bit of help, but listening to Sister Wang's words, it doesn't look like it at all!

Jiang Hongli was hesitant and blushed.

Sister Wang sighed and said, "Comrade Jiang is really in trouble, their family is not rich in the first place, and now they are even more stretched, and they can't borrow food everywhere. ”

"Conductor, you can tell us the truth, what's the use of just talking about difficulties? My family's life is also difficult!" Jin Yufeng is anxious, the family burden is heavy, and he doesn't want to donate food stamps to others, "I'm from the county seat, my family and I have jobs, go to the factory to do some chores, the rations are not enough to eat, and life is so miserable!"

"That's it, train conductor, what is the difficult method of Comrade Jiang's family? No one is having a hard time, and we don't want to donate our rations without knowing the truth. ”

These people under her hands are not easy to fool, Sister Wang glanced at Jiang Hongli, and had to tell the truth.
