CHAPTER 8

Liu Zhaodi is a little upset, you Gao Hongmei don't want other people's toffee, why don't you allow her to?

Hypocritical!

Liu Zhaodi smiled, quickly took the toffee from Su Yue's hand, and thanked her.

Su Yue said something rude, then turned and went in another direction.

After Su Yue left, Gao Hongmei beat Liu Zhaodi severely: "Why are you so worthless!"

"It's just a few candies, why is it worthless?" Gao Hongmei had a firecracker today, why is she so angry?

Gao Hongmei hated iron and steel and pulled her aside. Seeing that woman Su Yue had already walked up to her brother Gao Hongbin to hand out sugar, she gritted her teeth angrily.

She lowered her voice: "Can't you see that she is buying everyone? Why did you fall for it!"

As soon as she came, she gave out shrimp crispy candies. I'm afraid no one would know that she is generous and rich, right?

Dressed up in an ostentatious appearance, one can see that she has no good intentions!

Especially just now when she was showing the newly made clothes to everyone, this woman started to give out sweets as soon as she came down from the stairs, and she snatched everyone's attention all at once, and she almost died of anger!

"What kind of bribe, isn't it just a few candies?"

Liu Zhaodi stuffed one into her mouth, it was worthy of shrimp crispy candy, with a strong crispy aroma, several times more delicious than wax gourd candy!

Gao Hongmei clutched her new clothes tightly, and slapped Liu Zhaodi on the forehead: "You, you! Why are you so greedy!"

Liu Zhaodi turned her face away impatiently: "What are you greedy for? Didn't everyone take it? You are too stupid. You don't want such delicious shrimp crispy candies. What a loss! My family has been reluctant to buy candies for half a year."

In addition to an old man in her family who works as a formal fourth-grade worker in a textile factory, she is the only apprentice receiving wages.

There are seven people in the family, seven mouths, and the life of the whole family is tight and tight. It is not easy to eat a full meal, let alone shrimp crispy candy, and white sugar can't afford it!

Why not? Wouldn't it be silly not to want something so good? Gao Hongmei doesn't care about it, but she does.

"Eat, eat, eat! It's not that I don't have money, so I can't afford that shrimp candy?"

Her eyes fell on her brother, and she gladly accepted Su Yue's shrimp crispy candy, as well as her father, her mother, and her two worthless younger brothers! Holding the Shrimp Crisp Candy and being happy like a fool, it made her very angry.

"My brother is really too, a few shrimp crispy candies, look at the way he smiles!"

Liu Zhaodi glanced at Gao Hongbin, and carefully stuffed the remaining three candies into the hidden pocket of the factory uniform.

"Oh, I said you just think too much. Is it possible for someone to give you sweets and still put on a bad face?"

In normal times, Gao Hongmei would have heard of Liu Zhaodi's sarcasm. She was so angry that she didn't hear it for a while.

"Look at her, she grabs attention as soon as she comes, no one has seen my new clothes!"

Liu Zhaodi gave her a suspicious look.

Gao Hongmei said angrily: "I always feel that she has no good intentions to move here, and it's not like you don't know the old lady upstairs, so she just died.How did she live?"

"People say they are relatives, so what's wrong with living in a relative's house?"

"Look at Su Yue's appearance, that attire, and such a generous hand, can she be related to Mrs. Zhang?"

Liu Zhaodi didn't bother to pay attention to her, Gao Hongmei cast gloomy eyes on her: "You won't be bought by her milk candy too?"

Liu Zhaodi: "..."

"Stop talking, I'm going to work."

"Hey - you!" Gao Hongmei kicked her feet on the ground hard, she was so angry!

Her eyes were burning with anger, her father, Gao Fugui, was holding three shrimp candies and was still chewing one, walking towards her.

"Girl, do you want to eat?"

Gao Hongmei poohed: "Don't eat!"

"do not eat"

"Don't eat!"

"I really don't eat"

"Don't eat!"

"Are you sure you don't regret it?"

Why is her father so annoying!

"Oh, I don't... um-"

A mouthful of crispy shrimp candy was stuffed into her mouth, and Gao Fugui chuckled, "How about it, girl, is it delicious?"

The rich crisp fragrance filled the whole taste buds, and Gao Hongmei shed tears of regret instantly.

It's a loss, why don't you want that girl's shrimp candy? Don't be in vain!

Why save her money! Why do you want to save her money--

She was so regretful that her career was green! I'm so sorry!

"Big girl, please tell me what you need in the future, our small courtyard is the most humane!"

"Hahaha yes, Comrade Su, don't be polite to us." Everyone eagerly chatted with Su Yong. Shrimp halva.

Hiss - so fucking sweet!

"What's the background of Mrs. Zhang's granddaughter? The key to being so generous is that she looks pretty."

After waiting for a long time for anyone to reply, Bao Wenjun turned his head and saw Gao Hongbin looking in Su Yong's direction for something.

"Hey, Hongbin, what are you looking at?"

Gao Hongbin withdrew his gaze, and stuffed a piece of crispy shrimp into his mouth: "It's nothing."

Hiss - so fucking sweet.

"You said that this lesbian named Su Yue is really Granny Zhang's cousin?" Bao Wenjun pondered.

"Guess so."

"Look at the clothes on her body."

"What happened to the clothes?"

Gao Hongbin looked at Su Yue's clothes, black cigarette pants, chiffon shirt, a bow tied with a white ribbon at the neckline, and a brand new pair of small leather shoes on his feet.

The new neighbor is so pretty, and none of the cadres' children or young female officers in their factory can compare to her.

"Have you ever seen it on Hongmei?"

Gao Hongmei is the fashion benchmark and trend vane of the entire small courtyard, and clothes that she has never worn appear on Su Yue's body. It is conceivable that this Su Yue has a lot of background.

Moreover, Su Yue's clothes look like they are made of high-quality materials, they are definitely not cheap. He has visited department stores in the provincial capital with his sister many times, but he has never seen such a novel and elegant dress.

For a while, Su Yue became the focus of discussion among everyone in the courtyard.

In fact, she simply came down to share candy to let everyone know her, and she didn't even think about gaining any attention, let alone meeting her neighbors on the first day, and successfully established an "enemy".

Forget it, who cares, the soldiers will come to cover the water and earth.

The big guys happily ate candy and chatted. It was seven o'clock in the morning, and there was more than half an hour before work, and the residents packed up their things in a hurry and prepared to go to the factory.

These days, most people in cities and towns work in factories. The social status of workers was relatively high in the 1970s. If you make friends with workers, you will have higher living resources, and the disadvantages of rural areas are fully reflected..

Su Yue is glad that she travels through the towns, but it's not that she can't see the rural people clearly. In any case, life in the city is more convenient than in the countryside.

Yang Xiuling presses water by the well to wash the clothes. After washing, she can hang them in the air and collect them when she comes back at night. The children can wear clean clothes the next day.

The residents gradually dispersed, and Su Yue took a small bench that no one was sitting on and sat down by the well.

Yang Xiuling gave her a funny look: "What's wrong, do you have nothing to do?"

"Yes, I can only watch you work without a job."

Yang Xiuling heard that there was something in Su Yue's words, so she asked her, "Do you want to tell me something?"

Su Yue didn't say it directly, but joked: "Sister Yang, you still haven't gone to the factory, aren't you afraid of being late?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm an eighth-level worker, and there are still a few apprentices in the factory to support me. Even if I'm late for 20 or 30 minutes, no one dares to blame me."

Yang Xiuling is an eighth-level welder in the steel factory. She entered the steel factory at the age of seventeen and has been working until she is in her thirties.

What is the concept of an eighth-level welder?

In the 1970s, workers in factories were generally divided into four to six levels, and the highest level of skilled workers was eighth. In most factories, the eighth level of technicians was often higher than the factory manager.

Therefore, no matter in the factory or in the small courtyard, no one dared to look down on her since she passed the seventh or eighth grade.

She has high qualifications and is more capable than many men. With a "huge sum" of 45 yuan a month, she can carry a family of five on her shoulders by herself.

Otherwise, how could she move from the shabby room in the corridor to the sunny room on the outermost side? Speaking of which, many men in the courtyard really admire her.

Su Yue laughed softly, and then said seriously: "Well, Sister Yang, I want to ask you, can you get me some furniture tickets? There are no tables, stools and cabinets at home, and life is too inconvenient.

Furniture in the 1970s was also purchased by ticket, not just money, so at that time carpentry was a popular industry. With such a good craft, do you still worry about not being popular?

"Want to buy furniture? How much?"

"There are quite a lot. The old lady has very little furniture in her house. At least a bedside table, a few chairs or stools are needed, and a small cabinet or shelf is needed in the toilet. I don't have a wardrobe in my room, which is inconvenient..."

"It's quite a lot." Yang Xiuling rubbed her clothes and smiled.

"It's quite a lot, so I'm worried."

A few days ago, I exchanged a lot of tickets for food, but the only ticket that can buy furniture, even if I change it now, I guess it won't be much.

These days, the furniture tickets owned by each family are very few, and it is more expensive than fine grains. If there is a big wardrobe at home, how many people would be envious of it?

In Su Yue's previous shack, there was only a camphor wood box to store clothes, and the wardrobe was not available.

After washing up last night, her toothbrushes and cups were still on the table in the living room. There were a lot of miscellaneous things, it was ugly.

Fortunately, the landlord is an old lady, otherwise if someone else were to be the landlord, she might be angry when she saw the mess.

Moreover, there is no bedside table in the bedroom, and it is inconvenient to store things. Let alone a bedside table, at least a few stools will not make her daily necessities "homeless".

Yang Xiuling rubbed her clothes, and asked her, "Hey--sister Su Yue, did you replace all those things... last time?"

Su Yue paused before realizing what she meant: "It's not a few catties in total, it's gone long ago."

"Oh, it's gone." Yang Xiuling looked around carefully, and then said, "Hey, where did you get those little things?"

She had been curious for a long time and waited until today to ask.

How can such a thing be made public, Su Yue replied like this: "It was a gift from a relative, and I happen to be short of money, so..."

It turned out that it was sent by a relative, and that relative was really capable. It was really generous to send the best rice.

"Understood, in fact, what I want to say is that even if you have money these days, you may not be able to buy furniture tickets. If you have a lot of fine grains... maybe you can exchange for one or two..."

Su Yue changed the topic with a smile: "I really don't have any fine grains. Even if I have, it's impossible to have an equivalent amount to exchange for furniture. How much can I exchange?"

"That's true."

Pressing the water and starting to clean the last one, Yang Xiuling asked her again: "Sister Su Yue, what do you think of Qiao Jingming?"

"Qiao Jingming? The one who repaired my furniture that day?"

"That's right." It turned out that his name was Qiao Jingming, but why did he get involved in such a good way? Su Yue was puzzled.

"It's pretty good," she said.

At least he covered himself that day and was generally a good guy.

"He is eighteen this year, and I don't know how old you are yet."

Uh, it sounds like you are going to introduce someone.

Su Yue had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I'm seventeen, and I'll be

eighteen in March."

"Eighteen?" Yang Xiuling covered her lips and snickered, "Well, it happens to be an adult."

The more Su Yue heard it, the more strange she became. She frowned and looked at her: "Sister Yang, why are you asking me this?"

Yang Xiuling smiled and said, "It's nothing, I thought of a good idea! I'm looking for furniture for you!"

"Really?" Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she became energetic in an instant.

Yang Xiuling raised her eyebrows: "That must be true! Just wait, I'll help you out!"

"Then thank you so much, Miss Yang!"

"Hey! Why are you polite, we have a relationship."

There are definitely benefits in making friends with Su Yue.

Do you see what clothes they are wearing? What kind of candy are you giving to the big guys? Yang Xiuling has long believed in her heart that she is not a lesbian from an ordinary family.

However, the relationship between the two has not yet reached the point where they can inquire deeply about each other, so Yang Xiuling is not ashamed to ask her about her family situation, and why she moved here alone.

Yang Xiuling's careful thinking was active, Su Yue's big problem here was taken over by Yang Xiuling, she felt relaxed now.

Standing up and preparing to go upstairs, Yang Xiuling's youngest daughter Zhao Xiaotang suddenly ran over and hugged Yang Xiuling's thigh.

"Mom, do you want to send me to kindergarten today, or should I go by myself?"

Yang Xiuling stood up with support on her back. The pain in her waist made her frown and ease for a while, before she asked, "Is Yan Zhijun gone? You can ask his father to take you with him. Mom has to go to work after drying the clothes. "

"It's not gone! Then I'll go find him now!"

Zhao Xiaotang was about to run out in a hurry, Su Yue watched from the side, and said curiously: "Sister Yang, it seems that you haven't seen your husband, why don't you let him see the child?"

"My father is dead!" Zhao Xiaotang shouted back to Su Yue while running.

Su Yue froze in place, embarrassed: "Ah... sorry."

Yang Xiuling's indifferent tone: "It's nothing, he's been dead for several years, don't mention him, bad luck!"

Unlucky... Unlucky?

Xiaotang's dead father was so hated, his wife would scold him badly if he died...

Su Yue scratched her head, turned around and went upstairs.No matter what Yang Xiuling does, she pays attention to the word "efficiency".

Su Yue just mentioned the matter of furniture to her yesterday, and after getting off work the next day, someone brought the furniture over.

Opening the door, Qiao Jingming's tall body stood at the door, like a pine tree, as immovable as a mountain.

Su Yue looked at the large shadow in front of her, her pupils trembled: "Why is it you again!"
