This soap has also been given to Sister-in-law Lin and Sister-in-law Wednesday before.

She felt that this gift seemed to be a little thinner, and after walking through the entire daily chemical area of the home, she found all kinds of modern fashionable hairpins hanging on the corner shelf.

What was popular in the 70s was the plexiglass hairpin, mostly dark blue and crimson, which was very popular with lesbians in the city.

It would look great if you could tie a bow on your head with a beautiful silk ribbon or tie it directly to a plexiglass clip.

However, silk belts are difficult to buy, and it is difficult to come across them in general supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

Zhou Yunmeng picked up on the shelves for a long time, and took two good-looking simple windglass clips, solid colors, without any design decoration, but basically the same as the hairpins of this era.

The two silk bands are detached from the butterfly clips of silk headbands, which are very popular in modern times, and are also solid colors without any decoration.

Xu Xiaoying was very happy to receive these gifts.

She looked at the hairpins and ribbons, picked up the soap and smelled it.

"Yunmeng, you are too careful, this hairpin and ribbon are so good-looking, and the soap used for bathing smells so good, I like it very much, it is worthy of coming from Shanghai."

Xu Xiaoying decided, "On my wedding day, I will wear this red hairpin and this red ribbon to pull the marriage certificate, and it will definitely look good at that time." ”

Zhou Yun dreamed that she was happy and smiled lightly: "Xiaoying, it's good if you like it." ”

The two chatted a few words on the topic.

Xu Xiaoying handed her the envelope: "Yunmeng, you are so powerful, one vote is a hit, this is a reply from the Municipal Workers' Daily, it arrived the day before yesterday." ”

Zhou Yunmeng took it, and her heart settled down, she smiled and said: "It's also lucky to be selected, I wrote two or three drafts and pondered for more than half a month after meeting this classmate who was inspired." ”

Xu Xiaoying expressed her understanding: "I read that article and it was really well written, and you must have put a lot of effort into writing it, so you can't be selected to be published in the newspaper as soon as you submit it." ”

She knew that it was actually more difficult for the articles she submitted to be published in the city workers' newspaper than in the rural newspapers.

Every time I submit an article, I am a person from the propaganda department of various factories in the city and county, and they are all literate pens.

But Yunmeng is really powerful.

In fact, she still doesn't like to read newspapers, that is, she picked up the letter to Yunmeng the day before yesterday, and when she saw that it was reported by the city workers, she knew that the manuscript submitted by Yunmeng before was selected.

Just idle and had nothing to do, out of curiosity, she flipped out the city worker newspaper sent two days ago and read it, and sure enough, she found an article written by Zhou Yunmeng, and she read it.

While reading it, I sighed, Yunmeng wrote so well, no wonder I was able to go public in rural newspapers and provincial newspapers before, and I often submitted articles to youth story magazines, which can be selected.

Xu Xiaoying remembered the content of the newspaper, and she said with a smile: "This Comrade Rao Xiaoqing is so good, I want to get to know her after reading it." ”

Zhou Yunmeng said: "When I have the opportunity, I will introduce you two to each other." ”

After leaving the post office for a while, Zhou Yunmeng opened the envelope and looked at it, and replied that the manuscript had been adopted, and the manuscript fee totaled four yuan, and attached the current issue of the newspaper where the manuscript was published.

She opened the newspaper and read it, and the layout was good.

Listening to Xu Xiaoying's words, this issue of the newspaper has been published for several days, and I think that the meat factory should have spread it a long time ago, and I know about it.

Zhou Yunmeng put the letter away, asked for directions, and rode his bicycle to the meat factory.

It would be early, so she waited for a shaded spot next to the entrance of the meat factory.

The uncle guarding the door was also idle, walking around the door, and finally came over to talk: "Girl, are you waiting for someone at the gate of our factory?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng: "Uncle, I'm here to wait for a friend, named Rao Xiaoqing." ”

Hearing this, the uncle had something to say: "Rao Xiaoqing? I know that she is a good comrade, and a few days ago the matter of her and her family was also published in the city workers' newspaper, and the radio in our factory was broadcast every day. ”

I didn't expect that the female comrades could have such a consciousness at a young age, and they worked hard to improve themselves from the moment they entered the factory, and they were inspired to devote themselves to the production and construction of the meat factory with a better attitude;

The mother-in-law's family is a worker in the factory, and two generations have relayed the spirit and dedicated their youth and lives to the meat factory;

What is the factory recently curious Comrade Rao Xiaoqing, he also recognized people guarding the door, it is indeed the same as what was said on the radio, confident and bright, with the most sincere smile, is an excellent worker who does practical things.

Zhou Yunmeng listened, nodding his head from time to time in agreement.

Most of what the uncle said was the original words from the article she wrote.

It seems that the repercussions caused by this article in the meat factory are far greater than I imagined.

can be broadcast on the radio station every day, and even the uncle who guards the door can talk about this matter eloquently, and remember the words on the article clearly.

Zhou Yunmeng even began to worry that so many people in the factory were curious about Rao Xiaoqing, whether she could stand those gazes.

It's like a person who has had low self-esteem for a long time and has just gained some self-confidence, and is suddenly put in the spotlight and exposed to everyone, either becoming more confident and stronger, or retracting into a turtle shell.

If it's the latter, then she's doing bad things with good intentions.

Fortunately, after waiting for more than eleven o'clock to get off work, the people in the factory came out one after another, and Zhou Yunmeng also saw the people who wanted to wait.

Rao Xiaoqing walked calmly in the crowd, not affected by others at all.

I'm more confident than the last time we met.

It seems to be a good thing.

When she was almost closer, Zhou Yunmeng waved his hand and shouted, "Xiaoqing, it's me." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people looked over, but it was really that Rao Xiaoqing's name in the factory appeared too frequently recently.

After a few days of heated discussion and curiosity, Rao Xiaoqing can already ignore their eyes.

She saw that Yun Meng was happy, and ran over with a smile: "Yun Meng, I just wanted to wait for the rest day to find you." ”

Both her mother and her mother-in-law want to thank Yun Meng, and she also wants to find Yun Meng to thank her and share what happened in the factory recently.

Although I made an appointment with Yun Meng before and came to the meat factory to find her, I didn't know when.

It's not easy to ask for leave in the factory, she plans to wait for her day off to find Yunmeng.

Her father also said that he would go back and buy two catties of pork at the slaughterhouse and bring it to her, and by the way, he would talk about what he had planned before.

The mother-in-law also told her to call Yunmeng to come to the house for dinner.

The two walked to the door, and Rao Xiaoqing said excitedly: "Yunmeng, do you know, the article you wrote about me really went to the Municipal Workers' Daily, you are really amazing." ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "I also went to the post office today and received a reply from the Municipal Workers' Daily to know about this matter, and there is still that newspaper in the reply, and after reading the layout, I thought I would hurry up and share this matter with you." ”

Rao Xiaoqing shared: "Even the factory director read the newspaper, and sent Secretary Gao to praise me." The director of our production line also asked me to work hard, and the workshop team leader often taught me some things these days, saying that he should train me well. Recently, the factory has been broadcasting this article every day. ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "That's good, you are good enough, and the leaders will think about cultivating you." By the way, I just talked to the gatekeeper for a while, and I know that the people in the factory have been paying attention to this matter recently, do you feel a lot of pressure? ”

Rao Xiaoqing listened to it well, and sure enough, only Yunmeng could understand her, understand what she cared about, and even her man didn't find out this time.

She smiled and admitted: "At first, it was a little stressful, I felt that everyone was looking at me, and I was afraid that they would say those bad things again." ”

Then he said confidently, "But I remember what you said, I am improving, I want to become confident and beautiful, so I will raise my neck and straighten my back, and I don't care about them." Then I found out that they were also kind and complimented me. ”

Zhou Yunmeng encouraged her: "Xiaoqing, you are very good like this, it should be like this, you must continue to work hard in the future, your confident appearance is really beautiful." ”

Rao Xiaoqing agreed, and warmly invited her home for lunch, for a very good reason.

"Yunmeng, my in-laws have been wanting to invite you to dinner thanks to this incident, and my father and mother also said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just got together. Although I was in a hurry today, you helped me so much, and you are so close to the factory gate, it would be too unreasonable for me not to invite you home for a meal. ”

Zhou Yunmeng agreed, pushing the bicycle and going home with her.

The parents of the Sun family also warmly welcomed the heroes who had made their family so beautiful in the factory recently.

The grandmother immediately went into the kitchen and took a piece of bacon and stir-fried it.

The grandfather took the money and got the ticket to let his son go to the state-run restaurant to buy two or three more meat dishes and come back.

I ran to call my in-laws again.

Rao's mother came over first and pulled Zhou Yunmeng to thank him for a good meal.

Rao's father arrived a little late, and after receiving the news, he quickly ran to find someone to exchange two catties of pork before coming over.

An hour later, Zhou Yunmeng rode his bicycle and left with the warm farewell of the Rao and Sun families.

When she got out of the family home of the meat factory, she was also relieved.

Thinking of the two catties of meat in the package behind her, as well as the words that the two elders of Rao Sun and Sun said almost explicitly during the meal just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

This is the real way to go.

Back home, the Lin family had already gone to work in the field after their lunch break.

Mother Lin was awake, and the children in the second room of the big room were still sleeping.

She saw Zhou Yunmeng coming back and hurriedly went to help push the bicycle and put it away: "Third daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?" I was busy all morning, and I didn't rest at noon. ”

In the morning, the third daughter-in-law explained to her before she went out, saying that she might not come back to eat if she had less food at noon.

It's not to go back to her parents' house, and she is also worried about the county seat.

Zhou Yunmeng explained simply: "I saw my classmate at noon, and she invited me to her house for dinner, and I will tell you about this later." There are two catties of pork here that were also given by my classmates, mother, you take them and put them away first, and I will go back to the house to sleep. ”

During this time, I am used to taking a nap, and I still have no time limit and no pressure, and I don't have to worry about what time I have to get up.

I was already a little sleepy on the way back.

And it took energy to eat that meal at Rao Xiaoqing's house at noon.

Mother Lin should be good.

When Zhou Yunmeng woke up again, it was almost evening.

The house was very quiet, and the smallest stone knew that the third aunt was sleeping, and not being able to speak loudly would wake her up.

will also say to my sister, who is only three or four months old: "You have to be good, you can't cry, it's wrong for you to wake up the third aunt." ”

Zhou Yunmeng came out and poured a glass of water to drink, and went back to the room to sit for a while.

In the evening, the Lin family came back from work and had dinner.

After the meal, Zhou Yunmeng handed the city workers' newspaper to Lin's father and Lin's mother.

Father Lin's heart jumps when he sees the newspaper now, and there is only one situation when the third daughter-in-law gives him the newspaper, that is, the article she wrote is in the newspaper again.

The last two are still in his house as treasures.

He asked tentatively, "Is this being reported again?" ”

The rest of the Lin family also looked at Zhou Yunmeng.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Yes, I wrote an article and submitted it to the Municipal Workers Daily, but I didn't expect it to be selected." ”

This tone of understatement, I don't know how easy it is to write articles in newspapers.

But the Lin family knew, and after the shock, they were happy, the third daughter-in-law was very good at writing articles, and she reported it again, she was born to eat this bowl of rice.
