Chapter 165: Zhou Xiaobai's mother

"Li Weidong is a cadre?"

When Qin Huairu heard the news from her son's mouth, her first reaction was disbelief.

She is also a regular employee of the rolling mill, and she still has a certain understanding of the promotion of these units.

Like an uncle, an eighth-level fitter, he is old and capable, is he still a worker?

And how long has Li Weidong been working?

How is it possible to be a cadre?

"I swear, it was Li Weibin who told me secretly, and he also told me not to talk nonsense."

The stick terrier stalked his neck and swore an oath.

"Okay, how do children know what a cadre is? Maybe it's in charge of two or three people. Qin Huairu shook his head.

There are also many such team leaders in rolling mills.

But it is still far from being a cadre.

"No, Li Weibin said that his second brother is the deputy captain, or the deputy section chief, and he is in charge of many people."

"Let's eat your meal, the more I talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, and the deputy section chief."

Qin Huairu shook her head, becoming more and more disbelieving in these child's words.

But when she finished eating, she cleaned up the table and turned around and walked out.

"Silly Zhu, are you at home?"

Qin Huairu came directly to Silly Zhu's house, and at this time, Silly Zhu was talking to his sister who had finally come back in the house.

"Sister Qin, that will just eat, is there something wrong with you?"

When Silly Zhu saw Qin Huairu, he took two steps forward.

"There's something I want to ask you about."

Qin Huairu saw that He Yushui was also there, hesitated, but nodded.

"What's the matter?"

Not only was Silly Zhu curious, but even He Yushui couldn't help but look at it.

"Then the terrier will go home and tell me, Li Weidong is a cadre? Do you know? ”

"Brother Weidong as a cadre? How can it be. ”

When Silly Zhu heard this, he shook his head vigorously.

He knew what unit Li Weidong was working in, not to mention that he had only been there for a few days, and his age alone was there, how could he be a cadre.

"But the stick terrier said that the third child of the Li family told him at school, and he heard it at the dinner table, as if he was the deputy captain of some farm, or the deputy section chief."

Qin Huairu thought for a while and said.

"That's even more impossible, I learned before, Wei Dong works on the farm, and there is a deputy captain in his farm, but the deputy captain corresponds to the deputy section level."

As soon as Silly Zhu's words fell, He Yushui on the side couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sister Qin, how can Li Weidong be the deputy captain? It's a child bragging, I think you care about him, right? ”

"What nonsense? Sister Qin wanted to introduce her sister to Weidong, so she wanted to know more about the situation. ”

Silly Zhu, he won't remember Qin Jingru anymore.

Because not long ago, someone introduced him to a different party, and in all aspects, he was quite satisfied.

What's more, the other party is from the city, and he has a younger sister who also works in a rolling mill.

"Qin Jingru?"

He Yushui frowned.

At that time, Silly Zhu was still telling her about Li Weidong, saying that she didn't know how to take the initiative, which made He Yushui a little annoyed.

Although she has seen Li Weidong once or twice, it is limited to that, and she doesn't like people younger than herself.

However, when Qin Huairu was about to introduce her sister to Li Weidong, she felt a little uncomfortable.

I always feel as if my things have been snatched away.

Even if she doesn't have any feelings for Li Weidong.

Silly Zhu didn't see his sister's strange appearance, he smiled apologetically at Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, just listen to the child's words, don't take it seriously."

"yes, I see."

Qin Huairu nodded.

Originally, she still had a lot of things to ask Silly Zhu, but because He Yushui was there, she didn't say anything more.

It's just that when she got home, she couldn't sleep at all, and her mind was a mess.

The same is true for Qin Jingru on the other side of the bed.

She already knew about someone introducing someone to Silly Pillar.

Originally, she still thought that Silly Zhu was old and ugly, but she only agreed under the persuasion of her sister.

But I didn't expect that my side hadn't been successful yet, and people were about to have a partner, and she was still a city girl.

It is said that she is also very beautiful.

She is a girl from the countryside, why should she compare with others?

Although there is no stupid pillar, my sister has also mentioned Li Weidong a few times before, but there is no follow-up.

Although she doesn't believe that Li Weidong really became a cadre, what if?

Isn't there even the last hope left?

So how long can she stay in the city?

Do you really want to go back to the countryside?

is used to living in the city, and she doesn't have to face the loess every day to earn work, so it is more uncomfortable for her to go back to the countryside than to kill her.

At this moment, a deep unwillingness rose in her heart.

She had to find a way to stay in the city.

Even if......

Li Weidong naturally didn't know that Qin Huairu's family was 'extra concerned' about him.

After scalding his feet alone, he went straight to bed and slept.

The next day, Li Weidong came directly to the new farm, and then found that Zhao Haifeng had already arrived, and in addition to him, there were obviously more people here.

Roughly estimated, there were about two hundred people.

"Weidong, come here."

Zhao Haifeng saw Li Weidong and beckoned.

"Captain, the instructor is quite efficient."

Li Weidong stepped forward.

Although I didn't see Zhou Ji, as soon as the other party finished talking yesterday, he brought people here today, which shows his ability.

"There are still too few people, and he's blocking the door from farm to farm."

Zhao Haifeng nodded, and then pointed to the place where many prisoners were cleaning up and said: "According to the previous plan, in the next few days, this area will be leveled out first, and then a dormitory will be built, first according to the scale that can accommodate five hundred people, so that the efficiency is relatively fast." ”

The location Zhao Haifeng pointed to was jointly determined by the four of them yesterday, located on the south side of an orchard, just with the help of a gentle slope, blocking the north wind that can freeze people to death in winter.

Moreover, by setting up a guard post in the orchard, you can also condescendingly observe the situation of the entire farm.

"Captain, do our workers have any arrangements with the prison guards?" Li Weidong asked.

"For the workers, the prison side is responsible for a part, let's recruit some of them ourselves, and the prison guards are all just demobilized soldiers, arranged by the above, what? Have relatives who want to arrange work? ”

Zhao Haifeng didn't feel any surprises.

These days, finding a full-fledged job is not as easy as you think.

It can even be said that it is difficult.

Especially some large factories can be said to be closed.

But if there is a quota for a regular worker, it will be passed on to three generations.

Nowadays, there are more and more unemployed young people in the city, who have no jobs and are still eating the minimum guaranteed commercial grain, so they have to rush to the countryside to farm and support themselves.

Not to mention Li Weidong, even Zhao Haifeng himself has to take care of relatives and friends.

"Well, a few slots may be needed." Li Weidong nodded.

"Let's give you five first, it's not enough, let's talk about it later."

Although Zhao Haifeng is the captain and does things resolutely, he is not an independent person, and he prefers to discuss.

This may also have something to do with the fact that everything on the new farm started from scratch, and he couldn't do it on his own.

Like the Third Farm, the presence of several deputy captains is a little low, and they are each responsible for a mess of things, which seems to be distinct.

"Okay."

With Zhao Haifeng's words, Li Weidong will be easy to do next.

Although there are only two suitable candidates at present, there are many places, and if you hold them in your hands, you may be able to use them at some point.

In fact, the fact that the prison has handed over some of the workers to the new farm has already explained the problem.

In the next few days, Li Weidong basically spent time on the new farm.

The house where the prisoner lived, as well as the office accommodation, were carried out in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend.

After breakfast, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the vicinity of Zhou Xiaobai's house and waited.

Today is the day to make an appointment to go to the Agricultural Science Institute together.

It's just that he waited for nearly an hour, but he never saw Zhou Xiaobai come out.

For this girl who has always been punctual, there is obviously something abnormal.

Just as Li Weidong was hesitating whether to go to the door to have a look, a middle-aged woman with a rather temperamental personality walked over.

"You're Li Weidong, right?"

The other party came to Li Weidong, glanced at the bicycle he was riding meaningfully, and then asked.

"It's me, you're it?"

Li Weidong also looked at the other party, in fact, he already had some guesses in his heart, because the other party looked five or six points similar to Zhou Xiaobai.

"I'm Xiaobai's mother."

The other party's answer also verified his idea.

"Hello Auntie."

Li Weidong never thought that he didn't wait for Zhou Xiaobai, but waited for his mother-in-law...... No, it's Zhou Xiaobai's mother.

"Xiaobai is a little unwell today, let me tell you I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences."

Zhou Xiaobai's mother said calmly.

There was neither anger nor disdain in her body, as if her arrival was just a relay of news.

And Li Weidong is just a stranger to her.

And from her words, it can basically be judged that Zhou Xiaobai has confessed and been lenient.

"It's okay, I'll just go by myself."

Li Weidong hurriedly replied.

Although he didn't plan to kidnap the other party's daughter, he was not so confident.

"If you have something to ask Professor Zhao for help, you can mention my name, my name is Su Peiyun, and by the way, help me take the lead."

"Okay."

"In the future, when I have time, I can come to play at home."

Zhou Xiaobai's mother paused when she said this, and seemed to explain something: "There are not many friends who can make Xiaobai recognize." ”

"I will, do you have any other orders?"

"No, slow down on the road."

"Okay."

The conversation between the two sides ended quickly, and after Li Weidong said goodbye to the other party, he got on his bicycle and left.

It's just that I already know in my heart that this 'free' bicycle will not be able to be ridden in the future.

Although people have never said a word of evil from beginning to end, their attitude has actually been indicated.

The other party does not object to Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai making friends, but it is limited to ordinary friends.

He wants to be someone's son-in-law, but he is obviously not qualified.

If you keep entangled, it is estimated that Zhou Xiaobai's days of working on the farm will start counting down.

He didn't want to be a guest at home again.

"Huh."

I don't know why, Li Weidong remembered a vulgar sentence.
