Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Last Day
For Wu Xiaohong, the next day will be a day that she will never forget in her life, and it is also a turning point for her to turn into another life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ć She got up earlier than usual, and when she had washed up, she sat in front of the mirror, looked at her fairly delicate face, and pulled her hair down at the back of her head. Suddenly, a face showed a bit of charm. Although there was a faint sadness in her eyes. But she still breathed a sigh of relief in the mirror with satisfaction, she had thought about it last night, and today she must spend her last day in Daoguang Plastic Toy Factory in good spirits. She wore a skirt in particular, which was a long gray knitted skirt. I bought it during the Spring Festival last year, and I don't usually have a chance to wear it, and it's not very convenient to wear it for work. I usually wear work clothes and jeans to work, and I don't have any scruples. It's not like wearing a skirt, you have to pay attention to your posture and movements at all times. When she went out, she changed into a pair of nude heels. Then he picked up a carton of Bright Milk and walked out of the dormitory and walked towards the factory. When she left, the dorm mates were almost still asleep.
When she went up to the fourth floor and entered the workshop, there was hardly anyone in the factory. I got off work late last night, and there is still a lot of distance before the start of work, and even the doorman has just gotten up. Wu Xiaohong arrived at the factory gate at about 6:30. She asked the doorman to open the door for her, slowly walked to the printing workshop, looked around, and then she first put the milk in front of Li Gang's desk, then picked up the broom in the west corner of the office, went to the workshop and began to clean it carefully, first swept the workshop, and then returned to the office, first swept again, and then dragged it vigorously with a mop. She and Li Gang's desks were also cleaned up and wiped clean with rags. Then wash the kettle inside and out, fill it with a pot of water, and plug it in. After doing this, some employees came to work one after another, and she looked at the time on her phone, and it was 7:21, 9 minutes before work.
She glanced at Li Gang's teacup, walked over and poured out the remaining tea water in the cup first, and took it to wash. After a while, the boiling water is boiled, and then go through it again with boiling water. Wait until around 7:26 a.m. to make him tea. In this way, after Li Gang came to work, he could drink tea after arranging work, and the temperature of the tea was just right, and the taste of the tea had been soaked.
This was the last time she would make him tea, she thought.
When she finished doing this, some beads of sweat oozed from her face.
I wonder what time they added last night? Wu Xiaohong looked at the time, she originally wanted to have dinner with Director Li last night, but later heard that the welding department was going to add all-night, and Mr. Li had to personally supervise the formation, so she dispelled this idea, she knew that Li Gang was likely to follow and add all-night. In the past three years in Daoguang, she has been clear about some of the practices here, these supervisors, no matter which department has something to do all night, the heads of other departments will accompany them. Wu Xiaohong had also worked in several factories before, and she did not see such a concerted effort as the cadres of the Daoguang Toy Factory, whose slogan of "sharing blessings and hardships" was not just lip service, but implementation in action.
So as soon as she heard that the welding department was going to add all-nighters, she knew that Li Gang would definitely accompany her all night. He will take the initiative to go to the welding department after the department gets off work and follow the supervisor of the welding department to complete the task.
That's probably why she loves her job so much, because there's an admirable organization here, and she feels like it's an honor to be a part of it. Since her parents called her to ask her to go back, she has lived a countdown-like torment, although she is only an inconspicuous small role in this factory, but this is also the place where she pays her youth and sweat, she is moved by the people and emotions here, and the accumulation of three years makes her naturally integrate herself with this big family. Now that she was leaving, she felt as if she was leaving her mother's home. A lot of reluctance made her want to take a good look at this place on the last day and work for another day. She knew that after this farewell, I was afraid that the people and things here would only become eternal memories in her life.
Li Gang still arrived at the workshop on time as before, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was a little dark, and when he saw Wu Xiaohong wearing long hair and a long skirt, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are so beautiful today!" ā
Wu Xiaohong smiled a little embarrassedly. "It's the last day, and I want everyone to remember me."
"Did you call your parents?"
"Hit."
"Okay. Tell them early to reassure them. ā
After Li Gang finished speaking, he looked at the milk on the table, and his heart was hot, "You bought me milk again?" ā
"Hmm. You should remember to drink a glass of milk every day in the future. I read online that milk is good for the body. The printing shop is always dealing with ink, which can help with detoxification. This money cannot be saved. ā
"You don't have to trust anything too much online." Li Gang said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." ā
"That's good." Wu Xiaohong said.
"Don't do anything today, just take a walk." Li Gang said to Wu Xiaohong, "I'll go out and arrange work first." ā
"Go ahead. Remember to come back for tea. Wu Xiaohong gestured with his eyes to the teacup on his table.
Li Gang glanced at her and nodded.
Li Gang, who is usually very aggressive, has become particularly fragile in the past two days, just now when he saw Wu Xiaohong's appearance, saw the carton of milk, and the steaming teacups on the table, his heart was sour, and there was a kind of tear that he could only swallow in his stomach.
It's not that he doesn't understand the little girl's thoughts, he pretends to be crazy and stupid on weekdays, because he knows that he is a married man, he has a wife and children, he can't make any progress with her, and he can't give her anything, so what can he do is to disguise himself well, so that others think he is dull, think he is an idiot, and think he doesn't understand amorous feelings. He is a man with feelings and a sense of responsibility, he understands Wu Xiaohong's thoughts about him, and because of this, he feels that he can't let such a kind and excellent girl waste on him, and he sincerely hopes that she will find her own happiness.
Manager Sun proposed to him yesterday and asked him to invite Wu Xiaohong to a meal, he had thought about this idea since she proposed it to go home, but he was afraid of facing such a situation, he had eaten this kind of parting meal several times, and every time his heart was sore and sore. And this time, he didn't have the courage to face this parting. Just let her go quietly. That's what he thought before. After Manager Sun mentioned it to him yesterday, he felt that he still had to invite her to a meal, after all, if he left, maybe he would not meet again in this life. Manager Sun said it well, I have to let Wu Xiaohong understand their thoughts, this friendship.
After Li Gang arranged the work for the employees, he returned to the office. He wanted to go to the bathroom to vent his sad feelings at this time, but he still had to be stronger. There are many kinds of partings in life, and there is no banquet in the world that will never be parted, and, after all, she left to embrace a better future. He should be happier and more optimistic, Wu Xiaohong also said just now, she wants to leave a good impression on them, so what about him? Shouldn't she make a good impression too?
With that, he shook his head as if to shake off something, then took a deep breath and walked into the office.
He strode to his desk, picked up the teacup on the table, took a big sip, and then said to Wu Xiaohong with a smile: "This tea is brewed well." ā
"Drink more, then." Wu Xiaohong looked at him and said.
"I'll make the report and send it to Minister Hong later."
"Okay."
"Ah Hong," Li Gang called, and then said, "Let's have dinner together in the evening." Manager Sun also likes you a lot. ā
Wu Xiaohong glanced at him with wide eyes, and he noticed that Li Gang had used "also" just now, and her face flushed.
"Manager Sun asked me to ask you, who are you calling?" Li Gang said a little uncomfortably.
"Don't call anyone else. I think it's just me and you, as well as Guan Feng and Manager Sun. Everyone is so busy. ā
"It's fine."
"Then I'll go out first."
"Okay."
At lunch, Sun Ping originally wanted to find Li Gang and ask if there was a dinner at night? How many people? Where to eat? But Li Gang's figure was nowhere to be seen. I guess I'm too tired, and I won't eat anymore, so hurry up and squint for a while.
When Wu Xiaohong came back from eating, she saw a pink gift bag on the table, she was a little strange, and when she picked it up, it was a pink scarf.
Who is this for? Did you buy it for me?
She looked around, and there was no one in the office but her. Since I worked overtime until 10 o'clock for many nights in a row, I usually hurried to find a place to take a nap after eating, otherwise I would really not be able to eat at night.
Wu Xiaohong first put the scarf back into the bag, and then carefully put the bag back on the table. She didn't sleep on her desk as usual, and for the last half of the day, she still wanted to take a closer look at the factory, she got up and slowly walked out of the office, and then she planned to go around the various departments of the factory.
An afternoon passed quickly, Wu Xiaohong counted as usual, made a mark, and when she returned to the office, it was almost 5 o'clock, and Li Gang was already waiting for her in the office.
"You pack up your things, let's go to dinner, I have informed Guan Feng, he will come over immediately." Manager Sun will also be waiting for us below. ā
"Okay."
"Do you like this scarf?" Li Gang pointed to the bag on the table and asked.
"You bought it?" Wu Xiaohong was a little surprised.
"I don't know what you like, but when I see this scarf, I feel that it should look good with your long dress. I bought it. ā
"I love it! Thank you! Wu Xiaohong's eyes turned red again. It was so unexpected that she had no idea that this man would pick a gift for her.
What she didn't expect was that when she was about to secretly pay the bill halfway after arriving at the place of eating, the boss said that Manager Sun had already bought it, and she didn't expect that Manager Sun and Li Gang would send her a red envelope when they sent her back to the dormitory after eating. She adamantly not, but their attitude was more resolute.
"We've been together for three years, in our hearts, you are our sister, you're getting married, can you not show a little bit of heart as a brother and sister?"
The tears she had been holding back suddenly vented as if she had burst an embankment.
