More than a week later, Qu Liandi went home to get back their first imported large appliance, a Hitachi refrigerator.

With Qu Liandi's monthly salary of one hundred or so yuan at that time, it was not easy to save money for a refrigerator. She personally went to the school and went to the university where Chen Mingjian worked to discuss the amount needed to buy a refrigerator. The couple worked together Collected the expenses.

Chen Mingjian agreed very readily at that time, nodded, and quickly took the money out of the passbook.It may also be because he feels a little guilty and sympathetic towards his wife and son, and there is no refrigerator at home, which is not a problem.The main reason is that Qu Liandi suddenly showed up at his work unit, which frightened him, thinking that Qu Liandi was going to his unit to pull up a banner and carry an egg basket to make trouble, fearing that he would be brought out for criticism... The result was also No, Qu Liandi calmed down and just chipped in to buy the refrigerator.

It is for the life of myself and my son, and I have no other extravagant demands.

Qu Liandi collected enough money and went to the sales office of the "Service Department for Overseas Students", Zhou Yao temporarily asked his uncle for help, "Can you do me a favor... help my classmate pull a refrigerator! "

"Pull the refrigerator?" His uncle was puzzled and looked him up and down. "Your classmate bought a refrigerator. What's the matter with you? Did your father spend the money?"

"No," Zhou Yao said quickly, "It has nothing to do with me, I just... His father is not at home, and he doesn't have a car at home. You have a car!"

In those days, it was a good thing that everyone around had a car.

"What does it have to do with me, Yao'er?" His uncle is in the business of dumping supplies, time is money, and robbing time is robbing the price difference of policies. He drives around all day, and even goes to other places to get goods, busy To make money.

"I just want to borrow your car to help pull that big refrigerator over there." Zhou Yao's eyes twitched slightly and acted coquettishly, "I'll help Zhou Bing make up lessons, composition and math on weekends, is this the head office?"

"Heh!" His uncle laughed, "Okay, this monkey, asked your kid to give your cousin extra lessons, and even negotiated terms with our relatives?"

"Do you have a business mind?" His uncle smiled, "And you know how to engage in equivalent exchange, exchanging your labor for mine?"

Zhou Yao also smiled, what to do.

He just wanted to help Chen Jia.

Zhou Yao's uncle and two salesmen from the store moved the refrigerator into Chen Jia's home.

Go through the gate of the courtyard, bypass all kinds of roadblocks, and the chaotic buildings that occupy the public passages, and finally turn around Chen Jia's own small kitchen and enter the door of his house, turning a refrigerator upside down along the way , it is not easy.Uncle Zhou Yao finally got tired and complained, "Nephew, you didn't make it clear that it's this kind of place. Have I ever been to this kind of shitty place? Are you kidding me?!"

Just such a Hitachi brand imported refrigerator exploded again in a small area among their colleagues in the machine tool factory.A bill of lading for imported electrical appliances obtained by Zhou Yao has exposed the fragility and sensitivity of many people.

With such conditions, Qu Liandi, who was considered a low-to-lower poverty-stricken household in the factory, actually bought a new large item.

Just in the early spring of the new year, the son of the trade union chairman, Master Cai, married his wife. He borrowed the place of the trade union dance hall, set up a few tables, and invited some colleagues to dinner.

To marry a daughter-in-law, of course, you need to buy furniture and home appliances.In the past, when the conditions were not so good, everything was based on tickets. When you get married and buy the "three major" watches, bicycles, and sewing machines, you have to draw lots for tickets in the work unit.Now it’s not enough, you can buy whatever you want, including a large wardrobe, wine cabinet, color TV, stereo, refrigerator, washing machine, and even a set of karaoke family package equipment in his son’s new house.

And live in a building.

In the newly built tower dormitory in the factory, rooms are allocated according to seniority and job title. Cai Shijin and his family were allocated a two-bedroom apartment.The assigned room is located on the No.17th floor of the tower, but it is still a building anyway.

A group of colleagues went over to take a look, yo, the new refrigerator is from the "Snowflake" brand; the new washing machine is from the "Baiju brand".

"Hey, your family didn't get any imported ones? Now the original Japanese ones are popular."

"Master Qu and his family just bought that refrigerator. I passed by our factory last time. I saw it. It's from Hitachi."

Qu Liandi heard everyone say that from the side.

There was an expression on her lips, she curled her lips and turned around, without making a sound, a rare sense of joy welled up in her heart!Yes, our family bought a new imported refrigerator, how about it?

Cai Shijin's daughter-in-law's complexion was sour, she bit her lip, feeling upset, but she didn't say anything.

Moreover, with Qu Liandi's conditions and vision, how could it be possible to buy things from the "Study Abroad Service Department"?I heard that Zhou Yao's family helped Qu Liandi to pick up the goods. Zhou Yao's father is an engineer and technician who returned from studying in the Soviet Union, so he knows a few acquaintances... It's really uncomfortable.

The visit to the new house was over, the wedding banquet was over, and the colleagues in the factory all dispersed. This night, the wife of the union chairman chatted with her old Cai all night.

"Why, what do you say, just like their family, can they still afford Hitachi?!" His wife said sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"If someone buys it, they will buy it, whatever they want." Master Cai said.

"Their family is far worse than ours." His wife pouted.

"Yes, her family is far worse than ours. She is poor, so why are you angry?" Master Cai looked at his wife.

"..." his daughter-in-law said, "huh... I'm quite familiar with Zhou Yao's family."

"You are like this." Master Cai said.

"How about me?" His daughter-in-law retorted, "I just said a few words, and you didn't want to listen to them! You were there when Qu Liandi first came to our factory, and you were very familiar with her. This and that...you think I don't know?"

What's the mess?A cauldron with a label of "scandal" was about to fall from the sky. Seeing that the words were wrong, Lao Cai didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurried out to hide.

Everyone has these comparisons and jealousy.In a group of scumbags, it is still necessary to distinguish between high and low, and strive desperately to stand out in the pile of scumbags.There are people who are angry, but there are no people who laugh.

Cai Shijin's daughter-in-law finally said: "Anyway, she is alone, and there is no man in the family. Her man has already had a family at school, and no one knows."

everybody knows.

As these words came out, a gust of air gushed out of my difficult throat, and my whole body felt refreshed, and I finally found a psychological balance point, and brought back the unbalanced seesaw in my heart.

Like Cai Shijin, who became the chairman of the trade union at the age of 45, he is already a highly respected older generation in the factory, while Qu Liandi, who is not yet 40 years old, is also an old worker whose qualifications are second only to Master Cai.Because she entered the factory very early.

Qu Liandi was only 16 years old when she first joined the Fourth Machine Tool Factory.

She started working at the age of 16. In the eyes of later generations, isn't this child labor?

This was the situation at that time. As a junior high school student who graduated from the class of 68, Qu Liandi was catching up with that complicated and turbulent era, so she had no chance to go to school again.She ran out of Beijing with a large group of senior students, "connected" to various places in other places, and then came back.The school was closed, so she was assigned to a machine tool factory and became a worker.

This is considered to be a relatively good family background, so you are allowed to enter the factory.Her parents are both poor people in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is really no title, achievement or glory in their ancestors that can discredit her family status, so their family is the most glorious proletarian, so poor that they have nothing.

During those few decades, a large number of heavy and light industrial enterprises developed rapidly in the big northern cities. The entire city was covered with chimneys, white smoke was misty, and industrialized large-scale production was in full swing.At that time in Beijing, there was Dongfanghong Automobile Factory, Shougang, Beijing Gear Factory, Oil Refinery, Chemical Factory, No.[-], No.[-], No.[-], No.[-] Machine Tool Factory, Internal Combustion Engine Factory, Motor General Factory, There is the famous Yanshan Petrochemical... These huge factories accommodate millions of workers in the city.

Chen Jia's grandfather, as a proletarian, worked alone to support the whole family, and the house in the family did not fit, so he dared to have four children in a row.

In the first round, a daughter was born, named Qu Zhaodi.The second round is still a girl, that is, Qu Liandi.The third one is Qu Pandi.When the fourth child was born, the old man finally felt hopeless in this life and never wanted to have another child, so he named the fourth girl Qu Tingting.He smashed two "female stops" on the names of the four daughters, one can imagine how unwilling this person is.

Therefore, Qu Liandi is a "sandwich" second child in her own home.She grew up listening to her parents' pointing, disgusting and scolding, and she also grew up taking care of her two younger sisters, doing all the housework.Women of this generation have many "Zhao Di" and "Lian Di", and their names already show that they are not treasures held in the palm of their parents, and they are lacking in emotion.

She is very capable, she has a stubborn personality, and she is also full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

She only has a junior high school diploma in her hand, and she has never studied in high school, and she has never seen what a university gate looks like.Many people around her are also in the same situation as her. In short, no one in this generation is doing well, and they are all aggrieved and mediocre.At that time, she respected and admired people from intellectual families.

Chen Mingjian is such a student who was born in a family of intellectuals who was exiled to the factory in a miserable state.

When Chen Mingjian first entered the factory, he was an idiot. A man who didn't touch his hands and feet could do anything. He couldn't compare with skilled workers, so he was assigned to the cafeteria to cook and do odd jobs.But how can such a person know how to cook?Has he cooked at home?Letting this kind of person work as a cook in the cafeteria would simply lower the food standard of the entire factory staff, and I would be sorry for the fifty cents worth of "a vegetable ticket"!

The two got to know each other.

These two people looked at each other pleasingly, their conditions were good, and they were old enough. Colleagues and trade unions around them helped to introduce and match, and the unit issued a letter of introduction, and they got married.

Many people enter into marriage, not to mention how deep the relationship is, but when they reach the age, they set conditions for each other, feel that it is almost okay, and plan to live like this for the rest of their lives.

When getting married, people around said, Master Qu, your vision is not good.At any rate, find a worker from the administrative department, the factory, or the high-precision parts workshop. The wages and allowances of the workers are higher than that of ordinary people in the factory.Why did you find a cook whose salary is not as good as yours!

Qu Liandi had kindness in her heart, and felt that Chen Mingjian was having a hard time getting along in the factory, so please help him.

Moreover, Chen Mingjian looked at a good-looking person, with a gentle personality, and he was quite handsome. He was very different from those uneducated men in the factory who smoked, drank and played cards when they were free after work, and beat their wives after losing cards.

The turning point of fate was the resumption of the college entrance examination in [-].In the first year, everyone was still hesitant and at a loss. In the second year, seeing this sudden change in policy and the sudden spring breeze, more students at that time made up their minds to pick up their books, eager to become a senior high school scholar and completely change their life path.Chen Mingjian borrowed a large stack of high school textbooks and reference books from the library, and shut himself up at home after get off work to study on his own, eating textbooks for three months.

If this person can't do anything else, he will read books and take exams.His talent has finally come into play in this new era of change—he's admitted to college.

And it's a prestigious university.

Once turned over, the whole factory was shaken.Chen Mingjian was admitted to one of the two best universities in Beijing.

The tide of public opinion has turned quickly.This time, the colleagues in the whole factory began to praise Qu Liandi again, Master Qu, you have such a vision, how did you know that Chen Mingjian of your family can be admitted to university!

Qu Liandi sent her husband to university, and soon after, she became pregnant while Chen Mingjian was in school.

Men are not around when they are pregnant and have children, and they have to come to the factory every day to go to work, and then ride home after work.Once I got off the night shift and caught up with the heavy rain. When the wind and rain were blowing, my stomach hurt and bled, and I was carried to Chaoyang Hospital for emergency treatment... The doctor said to her, if you work so hard, you will bleed every now and then and the child will die. .

On the day of delivery, Chen Mingjian, who was still attending class and writing a thesis at school, was of course still not by his side.Chen Jia was a very strong child, so he was not shed, and he was born with all his beards and tails.Except for the bad temper later, there is nothing serious about it.

It is not good for women and children to be too strong and too hardworking.You two are too strong, you can carry everything by yourself, so you can't show the importance of the man in the family.Over time, there was no need for that man to come home again.

Therefore, in Chen Jia's memory from childhood to adulthood, there is almost no clear and profound shadow of his father, and he seems to have never lived with his father.Every important step of his growing up has nothing to do with his father.The relationship between father and son has been "lost" before it can be cultivated.

People go to high places, who wants to be imprisoned in the quagmire?

Once you fly high, you don't want to fly back.

Occasionally there would be gossip in the factory, saying that that boy Chen Mingjian was well-mannered, and after graduating from university, he would never go back to the factory and stay in school as a teacher.This person works in the school, there must be someone else.

The gap between these two couples is too great, and this big hole created by the fate of the times cannot be made up.The man graduated from a prestigious university, and you, Qu Liandi, haven't even attended high school. If he doesn't dump you, who will he dump?

If you don't dump you, who will you dump?

……

The bitterness of the previous generation did not prevent the teenagers from continuing to develop class friendship.

The gap in life has not yet had an impact and meaning in their carefree life at this stage.

The spring is warm and flowers are blooming, entering the new semester, Zhou Yao is still doing well in school.Every time there is an exam, he will make a surprise attack. His grades are very good, and when he leaves school, a few boys hang out to eat, drink and have fun.

The two often do their homework together, which is more efficient.They didn't copy directly. Chen Jia would ask questions if he didn't understand. Zhou Yao was in charge of lecturing, and he didn't submit conditions to Chen Jia.

"What else can't you? Just ask." Zhou Yao chuckled lightly, turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, looking chic.

Chen Jia glanced at him: "Do you really like to give me lectures?"

"That's right." Zhou Yao said, "Only when I give you a lecture, you are very polite to me, bowing your head and nodding, like a little grandson, usually you are an uncle."

"Your uncle." Chen Jia squinted at him.

"Look, the papers are finished now, and you have become my uncle again." Zhou Yao packed his schoolbag.

Chen Jia laughed suddenly, lying on the small table and shaking his shoulders, Zhou Yao smiled and pinched the back of the other party's neck, Chen Jia, you are a bastard, your uncle...

I usually read comic books in class, and buy star stickers at the small stall in front of the school after class.

The small stalls are all set up for these students, and they specialize in earning students' money.Zhou Yao bought a pack of "Jumping Candy", poured half of it into his mouth, and poured half for Chen Jia.The candy will "explode" when it touches the saliva. It's exciting to jump around in their mouths.

Celebrity stickers are the most popular sellers of Zhong Chuhong, Zeng Huaqian, Maggie Cheung, and Wang Zuxian. Zhou Yao is not very interested in these.He didn't know if Chen Jia was interested in female stars, because Chen Jia had very little pocket money in his pocket, and he didn't buy stickers or posters anyway.Some of the money was saved to buy food.

Many boys in the same class have begun to be infatuated with female stars, and they are divided into several hills. There are glamorous and sexy schools like Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, and there are pure girls like Zhou Huimin and Wang Zuxian. The two schools despise each other. The ignorant aesthetics of green hair.

In order to protect the students from squinting, the seats in the classroom were moved in parallel every two weeks, so Chen Jia finally moved from the group near the window to the side near the door, and was next to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao glanced back, with a heartbeat, and smiled at someone.

Chen Jia raised his eyelids to look at him, understanding, and sometimes moved his lips to insult him: "Don't be cheap."

Zhou Yao said: "Hey, I haven't finished reading it yet, I'll give you this book after I finish."

Chen Jia said, "You've watched three classes... Is Hades dead?"

"Pluto doesn't seem to be dead yet." Zhou Yao buried his head behind the book, "I think Athena is about to die."

"Hurry up and hang up, she's so stupid." Chen Jia looked disdainful.

Pfft——Zhou Yao said: "That's right, I'm still waiting for others to save her!"

"What's the use of such a waste?" Chen Jia said, "If I definitely don't save her, I will occupy the underworld when she dies."

Hahaha——Zhou Yao was having fun down there, this remark was very much in line with the young master's wishes.

"I lost my eraser and can't find it." Zhou Yao drew a villain on the book, and took Chen Jia's eraser when he turned around.

He kept turning his head in the same direction and angle to the right, and the frequency of turning his head was so high that he was almost squinting.He held his chin in that position for a long time during class, and his neck was crooked.

The mathematics class that destroyed the brain and exposed the IQ was finally over, and the IQs of the students in the room were almost leaked. Finally, there was a physical hygiene class that everyone was interested in.

Why does everyone like this boring subject?Because there are always some hidden topics that make half-grown children extremely curious in textbooks.

In the physical hygiene class, the whole class sneaks through the dictionary below to look up those half-baked words.

Zhai Xiaobing finished flipping through the dictionary, winked at Zhou Yao, kept smirking, and passed it to Zhou Yao.So Zhou Yao also looked through the dictionary, his eyes became a little red-hot, and he turned around to wink at his buddies, sharing the good things together.

what?Chen Jia was too lazy to speak.

Students at this age already know a lot, too much, and they are all special "knowledge points" that parents usually keep secret and don't want them to understand.Zhou Yao folded the key page numbers, turned around and threw the dictionary to Chen Jia.

Chen Jia flipped through those page numbers, damn... so annoying...

The girls in their class quietly looked up some words about the male body structure in class, communicated with each other, covered their mouths and snickered.What about boys?Boys are secretly looking up some words about women, looking up what is going on when a man and a woman are "together" and how it works... What to do if you don't have a computer, just look through the dictionary.The students in a class are at the bottom, collectively expressing affection, revealing the initial interest and curiosity of young people towards the opposite sex.

All straight shots, all pure.

"Hey, have you read it?" Zhou Yao turned around and asked.

"What do you think?" Zhou Yao asked the bottom line without giving up.

Thoughts?Crazy, Chen Jia cursed with her mouth: I feel sorry for you JB.

Zhou Yao laughed wildly on the table, and gave Chen Jia a thumbs up from under the creaking nest: Your feelings are probably very reasonable, and you can directly translate the scientific names in the dictionary into colloquial names, you can do it.

"Go to the toilet to discuss after class?" Chen Jia whispered.

"No." Zhou Yao turned back.

"You recruited me, do you want to go?" Chen Jia stared at the back of Zhou Yao's head.

Just then the get out of class bell rang, and the teacher summed up the last few knowledge points. Neither of them could hear what he said clearly. When he shouted "get out of class end", Zhou Yao jumped up from his seat, ran away quickly, and crossed the line next to him. chair!

Chen Jia also jumped across the row of tables and chairs, grabbed the man from behind, strangled Zhou Yao's head and neck, dragged him roughly, and went straight to the men's room.

Zhou Yao was dragged away bent over, shouting, "You are a hooligan, let me go!" In fact, the thief shouted to catch the thief, so he acted first, and grabbed Chen Jia's pants!

He is very bad, and Chen Jia's sports pants have no buttons and belts, which are very easy to pull.

Fortunately, Chen Jia reacted quickly, only showing the edge of her underwear, but this time she lit a dynamite bag, and Zhou Yao was immediately pinned down in a corner of the corridor, beaten, and her waist belt was lost...

There was sloppy laughter around them, everyone knew that the two were very strong, they must have run to the men's room after class to toss each other, pinching each other or something.Going to the bathroom between classes, the pair of twin sticks are inseparable.
