Return To 1977 Chapter 65: Concern
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Before getting off work that day, two officers from the labor union and the security department of the cloth shoe factory temporarily organized a publicity meeting for all 64 production workers in the factory. The purpose was to expose the "five-cent coin" that is currently circulating in society. Contains platinum and silver” rumors.
It turns out that since the end of last year, there has been a rumor in the capital that the five-cent coin minted in 1955 contains platinum and silver.
This news convinced many people to believe it was true, so it gave some "careful people" the opportunity to exchange a large number of five-cent coins in the market and then sell them at a high price.
For example, in the Xinjiekou area of Beijing, two outsiders exchanged more than 2,700 coins at a bank in order to select the 1955 five-cent coin.
In this way, the trend became more and more intense. By March of this year, the impact of this incident had spread to a very widespread level in the capital, and it had even become a social phenomenon. Many ordinary people participated in collecting and exchanging five-cent coins.
For this reason, at the beginning of the month, a reporter specially visited the Beijing Branch of the People's Bank of China and relevant departments.
Unexpectedly, the final reply from the relevant departments was: This is an illegal activity spread from other places to the capital, and the relevant news is purely rumors to confuse the public. All hard cent coins issued by our country, regardless of year, are made of aluminum-magnesium alloy and do not contain platinum or silver at all.
After receiving the official official statement, the public security organs immediately began to severely crack down on this behavior of speculating on coins, and various units and streets also quickly launched operations to refute the rumors to prevent people from being fooled again. Today's meeting at the shoe factory is a microcosm of this.
In fact, this meeting did not last long, but during the whole meeting, unlike others who listened attentively, Wang Yunlin basically did not listen. She was still planning where to go so that she could make a contribution to Hong Yanwu. I was worried about making braised noodles.
This cannot be said to be because Wang Yunlin is too stubborn, nor can we blame her for being too stubborn, because she has a reason to be like this.
In fact, as early as the end of last year, Wang Yunlin received a letter from Qinghe Farm in Chadian and learned that Hong Yanwu was about to be released from religion early because of his major meritorious service during the earthquake.
But on the one hand, this was a joy, but on the other hand, it also made Wang Yunlin a little embarrassed.
Because it stands to reason that on the day of his son's liberation, the family should go to Chadian in person to pick him up.
However, the conditions at home were too difficult. All limited resources had to be urgently needed to treat Hong Lucheng and get medicine. Therefore, the family had no financial resources and no one could pick him up.
It was even for this reason that since Hong Yanwu was forced to do labor, she had not even been able to visit her son in Chadian.
Although she was forced by the situation and had to do it, as a mother, how could she feel so embarrassed?
So today, when her son had just come home, maybe the only way to make up for it and make her feel better was to cook a truly delicious meal for her son.
Of course, determination alone is not enough. Whether it can be accomplished is another matter.
The difficulty now is that it is not easy to get all these things together. Even if she just wants to make the simplest seafood braised noodles, dried shrimps, eggs, broth, carrots and noodles, everything is It is always indispensable.
So she had no choice but to beg her colleagues.
There are many simple people in this era, and everyone is very enthusiastic. No one is willing to help. It's just that this season is really bad. After all, the Spring Festival has just passed and almost everything in everyone's shopping books has been consumed.
So until the meeting, even though she asked them one by one, she finally managed to get two taels of sea rice, some dried antler greens and three taels of meat stamps, but the most critical noodles and eggs were not yet available.
Alas, the new society doesn’t care about credit, and you can’t even buy things even if you have money and no tickets, but where are the face notes and eggs?
In this case, Wang Yunlin really had no other place to think. After much thought, she finally had no choice but to go home and ask her old neighbors to try her luck.
However, as the saying goes, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Some things often take a surprising turn at the last minute.
Just when Wang Yunlin was so anxious that she had no choice but to do it, God actually fulfilled her wish in an unexpected way.
It turns out that He Xiangling, the newly appointed trade union chairman in the factory, noticed Wang Yunlin's distracted and embarrassed look during the meeting.
After the meeting, this female cadre in her thirties stopped Wang Yunlin and asked her quite sincerely if she had any difficulties. Do we need help from the union?
After Wang Yunlin expressed her difficulties, it turned out to be a coincidence. He Xiangling's husband worked in the Municipal Second Commercial Bureau and had just returned from a business trip in the Northeast. So not only did they help Wang Yunlin with eggs and noodles, but they also collected a lot of dry goods such as goldenrod, fungus, mushrooms, and magnolia slices.
Wang Yunlin never expected that at this critical moment, someone would actually help her!
This favor is too great. It is a timely help!
So, the small factory in this street has its own advantages. It is precisely because the factory is small that the leaders of the shoe factory have no airs. On the contrary, they can be approachable and get along well with the workers.
And it was precisely because there were so few people in the factory that the union chairman He Xiangling was able to discover in time that Wang Yunlin was encountering difficulties.
That's it, the noodle meal that worried Wang Yunlin was finally solved smoothly.
After work, Wang Yunlin followed He Xiangling to her house and got what she needed. When Wang Yunlin happily got on the No. 5 bus and rushed home, she couldn't be more excited.
Because she knows that as soon as she enters the house, she will see the third child she dreams about every day...
At 5:40 pm, Hong Yanwu also put on his clothes and left the bathhouse on Zixin Road.
The only difference from when he arrived was that he had a small half box of "Fragrant Mountain" and a newly opened box of "Double Cats" in his pocket. This is what "Huozi" and the boy who had a pair of white eyes but didn't recognize the real person just now took the initiative to "apologize" to.
Because Hong Yanwu rarely cared about the offence, and "Huozi" and the others knew very well that in this case, if Hong Yanwu really wanted to be serious, not only would they have to be beaten, but their belongings and property would also be taken away. I'm afraid the clothes will have to be "washed" too.
So this kind of "magnanimity" is enough to fully arouse their grateful hearts. This cigarette is just a small way to express apology.
However, these two boys withered away as soon as they threw down their cigarettes. They were so frightened that they felt that they had taken a huge advantage by being able to leave safely today. They did not dare to stay and take a bath no matter what. .
Not to mention, the workers in the 541st Factory are just different. They are indeed the largest factory in Nancheng, and even the cigarettes they smoke are higher than those of workers in other factories.
The value of these two boxes of cigarettes is not much worse than the box of "Da Qianmen" sent by Hong Yanwu. This can probably be regarded as the loss within the **** and the loss outside the dike.
But despite this, Hong Yanwu, who unexpectedly gained some dignity and face, didn't feel happy about it. On the contrary, he was now in an extremely unhappy mood.
Why do you need to say it? It's his misfortune today!
Think about it carefully, on this day, since he woke up from the train station, everything he encountered, what could be called satisfactory?
As I was trying to go home from the train station, I encountered thieves. It took a lot of effort to catch them, but in the end I was almost imprisoned on charges imposed by the "Deputy Director Sun Tzu".
Then when I came back, I went to see Chen Liquan, and I bumped into that "cooker" again. In the end, not only was I humiliated, but I got a pack of cigarettes for nothing, and Chen Liquan had to stay and work overtime.
Well, even taking a bath by yourself can provoke your defeated generals and old enemies to bully you. This can really only be described as "backtracking" to the extreme.
So, he, Hong Yanwu, is tired and annoyed now. I didn't want to stay outside at all, I just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
Although his father and brother didn't treat him very well at home, it was better to be scolded and complained by his relatives than to cause trouble outside and be angry at nothing.
Besides, I still have my mother, sister, sister-in-law and nephew at home. As long as he can see them and have a good meal together as a family, he doesn't care even if his father and brother blame him to death.
Thinking of this, Hong Yanwu, who was bored at first, suddenly became energetic. He quickened his pace and walked straight in the direction of Furuli, and imagined over and over again in his mind the meeting with other relatives he had not yet met. , the scene of meeting each other one by one.
Now, the only thing that attracts him, warms him, and deserves his care is these relatives whom he misses deeply.
In his last life, he was so miserable. He spent his whole life chasing the happiness he imagined, but got nothing.
In fact, he was already a happy person. It’s just that he never realized it clearly...
Because of the eagerness and desire in his heart, within seven or eight minutes, Hong Yanwu walked deep into Furuli and saw the wall of the east courtyard of Guanyin Yuan again.
But at this moment, a scene that particularly surprised and angered him appeared at the same time, which wiped away the joy that had just emerged in his heart.
It turned out that under the wall of the east courtyard, he saw a young man in a blue coat, who seemed to be a shop assistant, dragging Hong Yanru towards the courtyard gate, cursing and cursing. Not clean.
And his sister had tears in her eyes and was begging softly while resisting. She looked scared and pitiful.
How could he suppress the anger in this situation?
Damn it, what’s going on today!
