Chapter 22 Workers' Quarters
"This is Xunyang, it's so big here!" It was Lu Xuan who said this, she grew up and saw the biggest place, that is, Yicheng. County. Where have I ever seen a slightly larger city like Xunyang?
It is true that Liang is indeed popular, but not everyone can afford it, Xunyang City, gray is still the main color. Fu Xin, Liu Yi, Lu Jun, and Lu Xuan, four people wearing bright and good clothes, walked on Xunyang Street, which really stood out from the crowd, attracting the sideways eyes of the people around them.
"Xinzi, let's go to the city government to find a guest house to settle in, the station is a bit chaotic and not very safe." Liu Yi proposed.
Fu Xin heard this, smiled, and quipped: "Brother Liu, what are you afraid of, with you, who is not long-sighted dares to come up to us for trouble, isn't this tired?" ”
Liu Yi shook his head, frowned, and said solemnly: "Xinzi, I really can't live here. I'll tell you the truth, I had a conflict with the boss near this Xunyang station a few years ago, he suffered a loss in my hands, and now I have retreated from the road and come to his territory, I am afraid that he will get the news and will come to us for trouble, although I am not afraid, but you ......"
Fu Xin thought about it, and was not joking, but nodded and asked Liu Yi: "Then the Xunyang Municipal Government, no problem, right?" "He Fu Xin is a person who came down from the battlefield, and he also learned some kung fu from the old Taoist, and Fu Xin is not afraid of anyone in the service, but among the few of them, in addition to him and Liu Yi, there are two.
Needless to say, Lu Xuan is a cute girl with no combat effectiveness at all. Army, although he has been with Fu Xin, Fu Xin has taught him a few tricks, and he is also exercising himself, but he used to make Fu Xin think he was a girl, even if he exercised, what combat power could he have? Fu Xin took care of the safety of the two of them, and still had to ask Liu Yi clearly.
Liu Yi smiled, patted Fu Xin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the city government is the territory of Baidao, and few people dare to mix it up over there." Even if there were, it was just a few. I know all those gentlemen, so I don't have to worry about them at all. Not to mention that one of them is still my friend. ”
"That's fine, let's go to the city hall and find a guest house." Fu Xin decided.
Lu Lu and Lu Xuan came out to play, and they were even more unclear about the situation in Xunyang, so they just listened to it on the side, secretly remembering in their hearts that they couldn't come to the station to play, it was not safe here.
……
"Brother Liu, is this far away from Xunyang Electronics Factory? How long does it take to walk? At this time, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and he had a lunch that was not a lunch in the guest house, and Fu Xin then asked Liu Yi.
"It's not very far, according to the strength of the feet of the two of us, if we walk, about an hour is enough, if the two of them also go, let's talk less about an hour and a half!" Liu Yi estimated.
The army said: "Then the two of us won't go, just stay in this guest house, you two go!" Anyway, Fu Xin had already told him that he and Lu Xuan were out to play, and since they were out to play, the army was not ready to think about business, so he chose to stay in the guest house with Lu Xuan and not go out with the army and Liu Yi to find out about the situation.
"Isn't that right?" Lu Xuan looked at the army and asked in a low voice.
The army hasn't answered yet, since he has practiced martial arts with Lao Dao, Fu Xin, who has heard a lot of noise, preemptively said: "There is nothing bad, I promised you, you are out to play, since you are out to play, you two don't have to think about business." Besides, it's useless to go to more people, but to delay time. In this way, I will give the two of you ten yuan each, you can go out by yourself, and Brother Liu and I will go to Xunyang Electronics Factory to inquire about the situation. ”
"Hmm." The army did not hesitate and agreed, and he knew that he had indeed delayed time by going over by himself.
……
"Xinzi, did you fall in love with your assistant? Being so nice to them, to be honest, I'm jealous! But I can warn you first, don't start talking nonsense when you have money, you are the one who is engaged to Xiaoying, don't fight on both sides at that time. On the way to Xunyang Electronics Factory, Liu Yi said to Fu Xin.
Fu Xin smiled bitterly and explained, "Brother Liu, you misunderstood me. I do have a crush on someone, but it's not Lu Xuan, it's his brother Jun. The army is a talent, and now it is a pillar of the Huaxing Electronics Factory, and its importance is not weaker than that of me and Mo Li. So in order to win his heart, I let him take paid leave, and he also brought reimbursement.
As for Lu Xuan, it was just incidental, she told me that he and the army had a dream in front of their father and mother when they were children, that is, to see the Yangtze River and the Yellow River when they grew up, and now their father and mother are gone, but Lu Xuan still wants to go and see, and I also think this to the army, it just so happens that the research work during this period of time has exhausted him, so it's good to let him come out and relax!
In addition, I am absolutely loyal to Xiaoying, and it is impossible to fall in love with other women, so, Brother Liu, don't think nonsense, don't worry! ”
"That's good!" Liu Yi is still a little suspicious, but let's believe what Fu Xin said, he can't find any evidence now, and it is not easy to doubt the brother who can take his life to intersect.
"Let's hurry up!" Fu Xin didn't explain anymore, when encountering this kind of thing, the clear ones will clear themselves, and the turbid ones will be turbid. Superfluous explanations can only deepen suspicions. As long as you have a clear conscience, time will prove everything!
What Fu Xin didn't know was that Liu Yi was not the only one who had this kind of thought, and his kindness made people suspicious.
……
"Sister, what do you think of Director Fu?" The army and Lu Xuan were walking on the streets of Xunyang, and the army suddenly asked Lu Xuan.
"It's good, it's just that sometimes it's a little me." Lu Xuan didn't know what the army was going to ask, so he had to answer truthfully.
The army asked again: "In this case, he must be fierce to you, you must have failed to do things well." ”
Speaking of this topic, Lu Xuan was a little angry, and said aggrievedly: "However, I have been working very hard, and for this reason, I have also consulted many people, such as Sister Lin Mo, an intern at Yenching University, and I often ask her for advice." ”
"Well, I know that you have worked very hard, and I think Director Fu also knows that he may have too many things and is a little annoyed in his heart, so he is like this. Normally, he wouldn't be like that. Oh, by the way, do you know that Director Fu is a person who is already engaged? The Army asked suddenly.
"Got it, brother, why are you asking this question all of a sudden, you don't doubt me and him, right? How is that possible, am I the kind of bad woman who takes advantage of the absence of the hostess? Lu Xuan asked rhetorically.
"It's good if you don't have one. But sister, Director Fu is so good to us, I can't help but doubt it, except for you, a beautiful girl, I really can't figure out why he is so good to us. That, sister, keep a little distance from Director Fu in the future! The army said in a wordy manner, he dealt with the new moves, and like Liu Yi, he couldn't understand it.
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly speechlessly and said, "Brother, you really think wrong, he is so good to us, not because of me, but because of you!" ”
"Me? What's the matter, what do I have to make him worthy of me? "The Army is a little confused.
Lu Xuan patiently explained: "Not yet! Brother, I see you've been busy all this time! Your role in Huaxing Electronics Factory is not that I praise you, but the fact! Your importance is definitely not weaker than anyone in the factory. Director Fu promised me to let us come out on vacation this time, also because Director Fu saw that you were tired and wanted you to come out to have fun and relax! ”
"That's right, if only he didn't covet your beauty! Let's go play in peace, it's me who is too worried. The Army said.
……
This is Xunyang Electronics Factory?
Although Fu Xin had already told him about the general situation of Xunyang Electronics Factory before he came to Xunyang, when Fu Xin came to the workers' residential area of Xunyang Electronics Factory, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene of decay in front of him.
"This Xunyang Electronics Factory is also declining too quickly, right?" Fu Xin thought in his heart.
According to Fu Xin's inference, it should have been seen in the early 50s, and the words "martyrs' families" and "heroic models to resist US aggression and aid Korea" can be vaguely seen on the door plates of several households.
More than 30 years later, the houses are dilapidated, and you can see everywhere the traces of the residents themselves repairing with tin sheets, wooden boards, plastic sheeting and other materials. The roof tiles are also a mess of wind and rain, and in many places on the roof, you can see the traces of the residents themselves filling in with straw.
In addition, due to the lack of living area, on the wasteland not far away, you can also see the big trees cut down by the more capable workers, make four corners, nail the wooden planks around them, and make the roof with straw, and build a simple house, some people use this house as a utility room, and pile some straw and farm tools in it, some people use this simple house as a kitchen, Fu Xin saw the stove, and some people simply use this house as a residence.
It was December, although it was located in the south and it was not very cold, Fu Xin still saw that many families were lit by fires, and some people sat around here to roast the fire, doing nothing.
This is really beyond Fu Xin's expectations, this is too fast. Around the house, because the residents did not pay attention to hygiene, they piled up the garbage in front of their houses, and behind the houses, the stench of garbage smoked Fu Xin and Liu Yi, who were accustomed to fresh air since leaving the Red Star Fertilizer Factory.
"Brother Liu, this is the workers' residential area?" Fu Xin was still a little incredulous, and asked Liu Yi.
"It should be, I've been here once before, although it's not as dilapidated as it is in front of me, but I vaguely remember some of it, some places still haven't changed, I'm sure I'm not wrong." Liu Yi said that later, more and more affirmed.
"It's ruined too fast! I can't believe it. As far as we know, their new factory director has only been here for more than half a year! Fu Xin said with a sigh.
Liu Yi replied: "Yes, I came here before last, and it wasn't like this at all the year before last. Now this way has changed a lot, and it is very dilapidated, and when my friend comes, I will ask him what the hell is going on! ”
"Brother Liu, when does your friend usually come, is it reliable? We stood here in front of his house, blowing cold wind, for more than ten minutes! Fu Xin clenched his hands, bent his waist, and kept stomping his feet and asked, with resentment in his tone.
Liu Yi also clenched his hands, bent his waist, and kept stomping his feet and said, "I don't know, but before I came, I wrote to tell him when we came and he should have received it." ”
"Young man, I see you've been standing here for a long time, aren't you cold? Come in and sit down for a while! Wen Su: He went out not long before you came, so he shouldn't have come back so soon. Wen Su's neighbor poked his head out of the house and said.
"Auntie, thank you so much, it's really cold outside." Liu Yi opened his mouth and said. Then he and Fu Xin entered the eldest lady's house without the slightest hesitation.
"Auntie, do you know when Wen Su will come back?" Liu Yi squatted in front of the brazier, rubbed his hands, and asked.
The eldest lady didn't speak, and the uncle next to her said: "I should be able to come back after a while, there is no work in the factory, Wen Su's child took a job of pasting a cardboard box for several families around us from the outside, it is the kind of beautiful cardboard box that pastes suits and clothes, and a big one can earn three or six cents, and a small one can earn two cents and four cents." He just took the cardboard box we pasted during this time. ”
"Oh. Then I'll wait a little longer, uncle, auntie, I and this friend next to me will come to your house to bake a fire for a while! Liu Yi said.
"Well, it's okay, sit down! I seem to have seen you a few years ago, you're a friend of Wensu's kid, right? Uncle asked.
"Well, I didn't expect you to remember me, uncle, you have a good memory!" Liu Yi slapped the old man without a trace. (To be continued.) )
