CHAPTER XVIII
I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't control it, changed the subject, and asked, "Squad leader, when will you be paid?" ”
"I don't know, but I heard that if this resistance wire is sold, you can pay a little salary." Pei Chunmei said.
"That's great." I said, again, looking at Pei Chunmei's dark face, those eyes were still turning around like that, at this time, I remembered the scene when I saw Pei Chunmei, compared with this time, there were many differences, the original curiosity was not there, and at this time it tended to be a kind of blandness.
"You don't have any living expenses, I'll lend you a little more." Pei Chunmei suddenly remembered something, reached into the small pocket on her waist and took out two ten-yuan bills and handed them to me.
I hurriedly waved my hand and said no. He said very guiltily: "I borrowed the money I borrowed from you last time, and I haven't paid it back yet?" ”
"What's more, I'm not short of money." Pei Chunmei said with a little irritability, "I can't spend my salary." Pei Chunmei's hand was held, for a while, I thought, if I don't catch the money, she won't take her hand back. So, I had to take the money.
Pei Chunmei smiled reassuringly, sat down for a while, and between the two, there was nothing to say. She didn't say a word and walked away.
I saw Zhong Yiping patiently guiding the new employees to wind the silk and walk over to have a look.
Zhong Yiping saw it and comforted: "During work hours, you can't walk around like this, go back." ”
"I'll go to the bathroom." I say.
Zhong Yiping sneered.
I came to work in the workshop in Mushan with joy. Mu Shan's face is much darker than before, and there are still some dead skin on his face, like tattered clothes, but his eyes are bright, and his teeth are still so white. Mushan energized the spring wire, and the wire turned red all of a sudden, brighter than a 200-watt light bulb, turned off the power in a few seconds, and then loaded the copper wire into a quartz tube.
"Such a simple job." I looked at it for a moment and whispered.
"yes, it's boring." Kiyama pulled out a cigarette and lit it on the burning resistance wire.
"I broke up with Li Xuemei." I'm feeling a little heavy.
"That's right." Kiyama laughed suddenly.
"I want to tell you something, but you can't say it to anyone." I say it with the utmost seriousness.
"What's the matter?" Kiyama asked.
"That's it, that's it." I stopped talking, but I felt that it was better not to say anything.
Mu Shan's expression of great disappointment made me open again and said, "Liu Xiaojiao gave me twenty yuan." ”
"I know." Mushan said, "Xiaojiao told me, let me not tell you. ”
I looked at Mushan in a daze, and I couldn't get angry.
Mu Shan smiled: "Don't think about it, Xiaojiao just looks at you pitiful, and doesn't want you to know." You should be a donation. ”
I shook my head and wondered, am I being overly careful?
"After this batch of goods is handed over, it is time to pay the salary," Mr. Kiyama said, "and after work, we go to the cafeteria together to help bring the food back to the dormitory." ”
"Do you have a treat?" I asked.
Mu Shan shook his head, "Wei Huasong is in for a treat." ”
"Who, please?" I asked.
"Dream into the city." Kiyama said.
"He's out?" I asked.
"Xiong Liying's highway was sold for 100 yuan." Mu Shan said, "It's all for Wei Huasong, don't mention this matter in front of Meng Jincheng, it is estimated that Wei Huasong will also tell Meng Jincheng about it." ”
"When I get paid, I'll buy an identical one." I said, "I'm going to pay it back." ”
"Let's talk about it," said Kiyama, "the most important thing right now, I live first, understand?" ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any money left?" ”
"What do you want money for?" Kiyama asked.
"Please Zhong Yiping watch a movie." I say.
"I still have two dollars in my hand." Kiyama said, "I'll give it all to you." ”。
I stood still, tears were about to come out, and I just kept blinking.
Mushan shoved the two dollars into my pocket and said, "Drink first, and then watch a good movie." ”
I was very moved and asked, "You don't have a penny in your hand, what are you going to do?" ”
"Liu Dajiao and I have stabilized. It's hard for you to talk about a friend, it's just started, I can't support you. Kiyama said with a laugh.
"I still have a dollar in my hand." I said, "I'll give you another dollar." ”
"Watch a movie, two dollars." Mu Shan said with a smile, "One person eats five cents of ice cream, just right." ”
I looked at Mushan's face that was roasted by the strong light, and I didn't know whether I wanted to laugh or cry.
After a while, I took out the two yuan that Mu Shan gave me, took out the twenty yuan that Pei Chunmei gave me, took out a ten-yuan sheet, and handed it to Mu Shan together with Mu Shan's two yuan.
Mu Shan looked at me in astonishment and asked, "Zhong Yiping gave it to you?" ”
I shook my head and whispered, "Pei Chunmei borrowed it." ”
Mu Shan smiled, grabbed the money, and stuffed it into his pocket, "Pei Chunmei is really good to you, if you talk to her and get married, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
I shook my head, and there were many things that I couldn't talk about anymore.
"Otherwise, you can call her godsister. In this way, there is also a relative in Shashi. Kiyama said with a smile.
When I returned to the workshop, Zhong Yiping was sitting alone at the workbench.
"Where have you been?" Zhong Yiping asked when she saw my first sentence.
"I went to Kiyama and took a look." I say.
"Don't run around during work hours." Zhong Yiping said a little angrily.
"In the evening, shall we go to the movies?" I whispered.
Zhong Yiping laughed and nodded slightly.
I was also very happy, so I said, "Dream has entered the city and come out, and Mushan wants me to come forward to receive it, maybe it will be a little later." ”
"How do you receive? Treat him to a meal? Zhong Yiping asked puzzled.
"Wei Huasong is ready, I'll get involved." I said it apologetically, as if asking Zhong Yiping to understand.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be with them?" Zhong Yiping said angrily.
I was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say.
"Where are you eating?" Zhong Yiping asked.
"It's in the dorm." I answered truthfully.
"It's not realistic for you to break off all of a sudden, so you slowly break off the relationship." Zhong Yiping said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your understanding." I said, "I'll go downstairs and go to the movies with you." ”
Zhong Yiping lowered her head and smiled.
"You look so good when you laugh." I said with a smile.
Zhong Yiping immediately looked around, and then whispered: "In the workshop, you are not allowed to say such things." ”
Still smiling, I nodded in agreement.
After getting off work, Mu Shan came to call me, and when he saw Zhong Yiping, he said, "Zhong Yiping, let's go to dinner together." ”
Zhong Yiping waved her hand again and again: "Thank you, no need, thank you." ”
When Mushan saw this, he didn't invite again.
I had to wave goodbye to Zhong Yiping first, and then go to the cafeteria with Mushan.
Huang Ping, as well as Liu Dajiao, and Zheng Qingmei were already waiting for me and Mushan in the cafeteria. We happily walked to the dormitory with our meals in hand. followed by Liu Dajiao and Zheng Qingmei.
I deliberately walked to the back, not wanting to be very close to Zheng Qingmei, and deliberately asked Wei Huasong, "Wei Huasong, you say, how many accounts did the guy in the cafeteria keep for you?" ”
"I don't know." Wei Huasong smiled and said, "You didn't look, the food is getting worse and worse." ”
Mu Shan smiled and said: "This guy, the money that should be earned, still earned, and then, everyone's food standard has dropped." ”
"When the salary is paid, the money that should be given, calculated, and given to others." Wei Huasong said in a mocking tone.
"Otherwise, we'll contract this canteen." Huang Ping had an idea and said with a smile.
Everybody thinks that's good. Only Wei Huasong smiled and said, "It's really not good in the factory now." Open the cafeteria, who will eat? ”
"We'll eat it ourselves." Huang Ping still said with a smile.
Everyone laughed together.
I took the opportunity to walk up to Zheng Qingmei and asked in a low voice, "How is Li Xuemei doing?" ”
Zheng Qingmei pretended not to hear it, and then deliberately asked, "Why do you think of Li Xuemei again?" ”
"In the future, I will still be friends, as friends, I will care." I said it seriously.
"Are you embarrassed to mention Li Xuemei?" Zheng Qingmei said, "Such a pure girl was abandoned by you." ”
"Do you think, Li Xuemei will be a national teacher for two more years, you say, I'm just a farmer, are we a good match?" I said, "Yes, she doesn't dislike me now, two years from now, three years from now?" ”
"Zheng Qingmei means, such a beautiful student girl, you haven't got it, are you stupid?" Huang Ping said half-jokingly.
Zheng Qingmei flew up and kicked Huang Ping's ass. Huang Ping carried a kitchen knife and did not hide, leaving Zheng Qingmei's footprints on his buttocks.
Liu Dajiao kicked Mushan again and said, "It's not you yet, you broke it up alive." ”
"That's it," Zheng Qingmei said very regretfully, "I don't know, what do you think." ”
"Qi Xun is a person who thinks about others first and then for himself." Mushan hurriedly explained, "I'm really married, one is a teacher, the other is a temporary worker, can I get by?" By that time, they are already married, and it is difficult to say whether they will be divorced or not. ”
"So, we all have to work hard, learn and keep improving." Zheng Qingmei said with a smile, "The times are advancing, and we must also progress." ”
"Yes." I shouted.
"Pei Chunmei has always been good to you," Zheng Qingmei said with a smile, "However, some people just don't have their brains." ”
Kiyama approached me and asked, "Don't you feel anything at all?" ”
"What does it feel?" I asked.
"The first time you are given a meal ticket," Kiyama said, "you should understand." ”
"I feel like I'm meeting good people when I go out." I deliberately said, "I remember all of this." ”
"What's the use of just remembering." Zheng Qingmei smiled and said, "It's useless to just say it with your mouth." ”
"I have nothing." I honestly said, "In what expression? ”
"It's all excuses." Zheng Qingmei said seriously.
"I want to write a book and put you all in a book." I said confidently in a louder voice.
Zheng Qingmei was stunned, she looked at me carefully, and said, "Are you a little feverish?" ”
Liu Dajiao shook her head again and again, and said, "Qi Xun, you really want to write a book, but don't write me and Mushan into it." ”
Huang Ping burst out laughing.
