Chapter 016: Self-improvement

After chatting at the old commander's house for a while, Lin Xiaohuan and Lin Lili said goodbye and went to the pond on the side of the road.

When they fished out the duckweed, they happened to see Su Luo and Sun Xiang walking towards the side of the road, and Sun Xiang was still holding a bicycle in his hand.

Lin Xiaohuan looked at the shiny brand-new black bicycle and sighed in her heart, this kind of old-fashioned bicycle with a girder in front of it, she had only seen it on the Internet before.

The unique "Phoenix" logo on the body made her know from memory that it was a brand-name bicycle of this era.

In their village alone, there are many people who want to buy one, but most of them can't afford it.

When Su Luo and the three approached, Lin Xiaohuan greeted with a smile: "Brother Su, Instructor Sun, Sister Liu." ”

Liu Mei heard the voice and nodded at her in response.

Sun Xiang smiled, "I'll send your sister-in-law back to town." ”

Lin Xiaohuan said a few words to them, and then watched Sun Xiang ride Liu Mei away.

She kept looking at the figures of the two of them gradually moving away, and did not withdraw her gaze until she could no longer see.

"Do you know my sister-in-law?" Su Luo suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiaohuan listened to his cold voice and was silent for a few seconds before he whispered: "I don't know it, but I've heard of it." ”

Su Luo's eyes were slightly deep, and he did not answer.

Lin Lili glanced at the two of them, especially Su Luo, and found that his face was becoming more and more cold and hard, so she cleared her throat and explained hesitantly: "My aunt also works in a hemp spinning factory, and she mentioned Director Liu to us. ”

When Su Luo heard this, the doubts in his heart deepened, but he didn't ask, he has never been a person who likes to talk.

Lin Xiaohuan saw that he was silent, but wanted to speak.

"Brother Su, do you know what happened between us and the Wang family a few days ago?" She looked sideways at Su Luo and smiled, her eyes were clear and her voice was sweet and crisp.

Su Luo nodded, he heard the old army commander inadvertently say two or three sentences, he had a general understanding of the matter, and knew that the two families broke up unhappily.

Lin Xiaohuan saw him nodding, so he said out loud: "The eldest daughter of the Wang family also works in the hemp spinning factory, she herself is the chairman of the trade union, and her husband is the deputy factory director. ”

Su Luo still nodded and did not speak.

I already have a guess in my heart, because the Wang family has a deputy factory director as a backer, so the Lin family wants to get to know the factory director? This idea is also human, and it makes sense.

However, he intuitively felt that this girl meant more than that.

"Anything else?" He finally spoke.

Lin Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, bit the corner of his mouth and hesitated for a few seconds before he whispered: "Isn't the factory going to recruit people in the autumn, my aunt wants my sister to go in, but I'm afraid that the Wang family will ......."

She didn't finish her words, but she believed that Su Luo could understand the meaning.

Su Luo did understand. He just heard that the hemp spinning factory is now only recruiting urban workers, and Lin Lili wants to go in, unless she is looking for someone to entrust her relationship, and the Wang family and the deputy factory director must be staring, so the Lin family can only hope for Liu Mei.

He actually didn't like this kind of relationship-based behavior, so he insisted on his choice back then.

Lin Xiaohuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he could feel the coldness on his body, and he also understood a little in his heart.

After thinking about it, she tried to speak: "Brother Su, maybe you think that our behavior is wrong and unfair, but there is no absolute fairness in the world.

Just like the hemp mill only recruits urban residents, this condition itself is unfair, if we villagers do not pass the recruitment test, it is not as good as others, and we have nothing to say, but is it fair for us to reject us just because of the hukou relationship?

Or do you think we should be inferior to the townspeople? ”

After saying these words, she looked at Su Luo seriously.

Through the short time spent together in the past few days, she can feel that Su Luo is very positive and positive.

That's why she said it on purpose.

Sure enough, Su Luo looked stunned, and then looked at Lin Xiaohuan and said, "I didn't mean that." He never had that idea.

When Lin Xiaohuan heard this, he snickered in his heart, and said deliberately: "So, Brother Su, you also think I'm right, right?" ”

Su Luo didn't respond, he felt that in terms of speaking, he really couldn't say anything about this girl.

Lin Xiaohuan saw that he didn't speak, and he knew how to accept it when he saw it, so after thinking about it, he asked the others, "Brother Su, do you know Director Liu?" ”

Su Luo wanted to continue to be silent, but looking at her clear and innocent eyes, he couldn't bear it, so he responded lightly: "Sister-in-law is a strong and excellent person. ”

He knew Liu Mei several years ago, when he had just entered the army and was assigned to Sun Xiang's company, Sun Xiang was the deputy instructor, generous, and usually cared about the soldiers.

Sun Xiang liked Su Luo very much from the first time he saw him, and he liked to chat with him when he had nothing to do in private, even though he was very cold.

Later, Su Luo learned that Sun Xiang admired him because of Liu Mei.

In Sun Xiang's eyes, Su Luo is very similar to his wife Liu Mei, the same serious and hard-working, smart and calm, but also the same cold temperament and lack of friends.

Sun Xiang also said at the time that he would apply to the above to be transferred to Anxi Town if he had the opportunity, because Liu Mei was here.

Later, he really got his wish and was transferred.

Lin Xiaohuan fell silent after seeing him say a word, so he interrupted his thoughts in a loud voice: "I can see that my sister-in-law is a smart and capable person." ”

Seeing him come back to his senses, he continued to speak: "I heard that she was a college student in the 70s, which is amazing." ”

Su Luo looked at her eyes full of curiosity, and finally chose to satisfy her.

"Sister-in-law is actually not easy, but she is also very lucky......"

Liu Mei lived a good life when she was a child, smart and clever, but unfortunately she lost her parents at the age of sixteen, and then lived at her uncle's house.

The family suffered a mutation and was abused under the fence, but these hardships did not defeat her, and she has been strong and hardworking.

Until she was eighteen years old, she married Sun Xiang, and in the second year after the birth of her child, just in time for the state's policy of recommending "workers, peasants and soldiers" to go to college, she said that she wanted to go to university.

Sun Xiang really loved her and understood her, and helped her get the qualification despite the opposition of her family.

After she went to college, she studied hard and studied hard, and she usually studied in addition to eating, and her grades in college have always been the first in the school.

When she was assigned after graduation, she could have stayed in the big city and had a better development, but she gave up and finally chose the hemp mill in Anxi Town.

Because at that time, this was the closest distribution point to Sun Xiang and his children.

Lin Xiaohuan heard Su Luo say this, and couldn't help but interject: "Sister Liu and Instructor Sun are both people who value love and righteousness. ”

"Yes, good people are rewarded." Lin Lili was also very moved.

Su Luo looked at them and nodded, and continued to speak: "After my sister-in-law entered the hemp spinning factory, she worked diligently every minute and every second, doing her best and making suggestions for the factory, and her position as the factory director was the result of her own efforts, not the reason for the instructor. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xiaohuan with a deep gaze.

Lin Xiaohuan understood what he meant.

He is implying that according to Liu Mei's habits, he will not like this kind of behavior through the back door.

Therefore, it is not a good thing that the aunt is now forced to suspend this matter.
