Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 41 Invisible Hand
At the end of the month, Liu Xiaonan received her first salary after entering the factory, which was 41 yuan.Due to intensive training after entering the factory, the working day is less than half a month, and all rotation workers receive the same amount of wages.

Guan Xiaoyun is going home, and Yu Zhiyong is going back to visit his grandparents. Many people have to take advantage of the rest day to go home.The mood is understandable. After all, after getting the salary, I can support myself in the future. It is worth telling my family the good news.

Liu Xiaonan didn't go home, even after being teased by Guan Xiaoyun, she just wrote a letter to her family. The 40 yuan is only enough for one month's living expenses. If he wants to buy a watch, he has to wait until the next month to pay his full salary.

This is not the main reason, he feels that it is not the best time to go home, and he has not yet been able to stand upright in front of his father.

Wait patiently, that day will come soon.

The dormitory was empty, so Liu Xiaonan slept all afternoon, and when she woke up there was still some time before dinner, she walked out of the dormitory and wandered around sober.

When he walked to the gate of the factory, he saw many people surrounded by the bulletin board, and he couldn't help being surprised when he walked over to see it.In the bulletin board of the glass frame, there are two large blackboard newspaper photos, all written by him.He has organized two blackboard newspapers, who took the pictures?

Next to the photo is an introductory text, Liu Xiaonan, a farmer rotation worker in class C in the weaving workshop, how to make use of her strengths, how to integrate into the fiery work and life of the textile factory, and how the blackboard newspaper is novel, beautiful and full of passion. All are promotional words.The signature is: Factory Youth League Committee Announcement.

Liu Xiaonan was somewhat proud of herself, but she was afraid of being recognized by others, so she turned and walked away.After walking a few steps and then stopping, I always felt that something was wrong, so I thought about it and went back to the bulletin board to read carefully.

My doubts lie in the last few lines: It is reported that Liu Xiaonan has been fond of reading since she was a child, and she did not hesitate to transcribe entire books of her favorite literature.This is also an important reason why the writing on the blackboard written by him is profound and unique.

He has loved reading since he was a child - Guan Xiaoyun has revealed this incident unintentionally, and he will know after a little investigation.In order to achieve the effect of publicity, you can also talk nonsense.

The point is that the entire book of literature was transcribed—was it a clerical error or assumption?Many people like to transcribe famous quotes from famous people. Is it mistakenly transcribing literary books?That was too careless.

If it is taken for granted, it is a bit too exaggerated.If such unreasonable words can be written, that person either has no brains or has too much imagination.

If the above two points are combined, if all assumptions are excluded, there is another possibility: this person is quite familiar with himself, even more than Guan Xiaoyun.

Guan Xiaoyun didn't know that he had copied a copy of "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" by hand, but it was also reported!There is only one person who knows this secret, and this person can only be Gu Yu?

impossible!Liu Xiaonan's head suddenly became hot, and he decisively denied his conjecture, not daring to think about it any further.He walked to the gate of the factory and looked at the white four-story office building inside the factory. He didn't want that person to be far away, nor did he want that person to be close in front of him.

Perhaps, this is because I was expecting too much. A little bit of clues would lead to wishful thinking. How could there be such a coincidence?Perhaps, it was the person who wrote that paragraph of text, who led himself astray irresponsibly.

He walked slowly and aimlessly, his mind in turmoil.The past events of his youth flooded in like a tide, drowning all his thinking and judgment.

Recalling the past is a joy, the little girl's voice and smile are still as clear as yesterday, and will not change with the passage of time.Focusing on reality is painful and helpless. Is she now the same as she was when she was a teenager?It is better not to see each other at this time.

It's hard to tell the truth from the fake!If it was really Gu Yu, her behavior would be in line with her usual style.If it's an interesting and long game, he's willing to stick with it to the end.

Intuition told him that there was a pair of bright and curious eyes watching his every move in the dark.

Sure enough, after the new round of work started, the content on the bulletin board played a role.

During the mid-shift break, Dong Xiaojun called Liu Xiaonan aside and said that he had a meeting with the Youth League Committee of the workshop in the morning.The main content is to develop outstanding young people to join the league organization among the rotating workers, especially Liu Xiaonan, who should be listed as a key development target.

Liu Xiaonan asked Dong Xiaojun if he knew anyone from the Youth League Committee of the factory.Dong Xiaojun said that this is a large factory with nearly [-] people and several workshops. He only knows the leader of the weaving workshop, and he can help him find out who he wants to find.

Liu Xiaonan said that he was just asking casually and didn't want to find anyone.Since it is a game, let the mystery be revealed bit by bit.

What Dong Xiaojun meant was that he hoped that Liu Xiaonan would write an application for joining the league as soon as possible, so that he could join the league on the May [-]th Youth Day next year.

Liu Xiaonan said that he did not want to join the group organization for the time being, and suggested that Dong Xiaojun should first develop Yu Zhiyong and Guan Xiaoyun to join the group.

Dong Xiaojun showed embarrassment.Yu Zhiyong and Guan Xiaoyun are of course the ones who are striving for development, and he, Liu Xiaonan, is the one who the factory Youth League Committee pays attention to, and the workshop Youth League Committee also attaches great importance to it.If Liu Xiaonan hadn't been proactive, he would have been very passive as the branch secretary of the section, and he would have been seen as not capable of working and not having prestige among young people.

Liu Xiaonan would never follow the path designed by others, but she also didn't want to embarrass Dong Xiaojun too much.He said that it was really inconvenient for him to express his difficulties, otherwise he would not support his work, so he would think about it.

Sometimes, he also suspects that this is an illusion at work.Why can't the farmer's rotation workers get the attention of the factory committee?The ability is there for all to see, and it has not been fully revealed.

However, if she really worked in the Youth League Committee, wouldn't she have exposed her whereabouts?
Dong Xiaojun didn't understand why Liu Xiaonan was so stubborn, we were all friends, so he could talk about his difficulties.Unless there is a gap in your heart, or you look down on him, you don't want to treat him as a true friend.

How could Liu Xiaonan reveal the secret in his heart? He found another excuse and said, "I'm a farmer on a rotation basis, so what if I don't join the league? After five years, if I still return to the countryside, who will remember me?"

Dong Xiaojun truthfully reported Liu Xiaonan's situation and thoughts to Wang Aiqing.Wang Aiqing also has another identity: the party secretary of the workshop.She arranged for Liu Xiaonan to take over the job and brought him to Duan Zhang's office.

After sitting down, Wang Aiqing became serious, restrained her usual girlish enthusiasm and innocence, her eyes were calm and firm, although she still hid a smile, her tone was unquestionable: "Xiao Dong told me about your Some situations and thoughts, I think it is necessary to talk to you. I can fully understand your thoughts, because I have also experienced the same feelings. "

Liu Xiaonan listened carefully, he was full of respect and admiration for this elder sister-like master in front of him.

Last day off, he was invited to help Wang Aiqing move.Wang Aiqing told him the specific address in advance, saying it was easy to find.He rushed there early in the morning. It was a dozen rows of tile-roofed houses built along the hillside, with two rooms and one household. The courtyard wall was made of red bricks. The street was very narrow, and an exposed drainage ditch ran through the entire street. .

Liu Xiaonan found Wang Aiqing's newly rented house according to the house number. The inside and outside of the house had been cleaned, and Wang Aiqing was cleaning the windows.He was a little surprised that he was the only one to help with such a big move.

Wang Aiqing enthusiastically pulled him to sit down, instead of talking about moving, he chatted and asked about some things in the countryside.

He learned from Wu Yanli that Wang Aiqing's husband was from a rural area, but he didn't know much about the specific situation.What he felt at this moment was that Wang Aiqing was not the technical expert of the car operator who worked vigorously and vigorously, but rather a rural housewife who was familiar with farming.

When Wang Aiqing's husband parked a small truck at the intersection and Liu Xiaonan followed Wang Aiqing out to move things, he realized why he was the only one to help.

There is only a short wardrobe and a wooden box in the car, and the rest are tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, altars and pots.Only later did he know that because of the frequent moves, their belongings had been reduced to the minimum for the convenience of moving.

Wang Aiqing introduced her husband and Liu Xiaonan.Liu Xiaonan held the hand of the rural elder brother, feeling a sense of intimacy spontaneously.

The eldest brother in the countryside is warm and honest, no less enthusiastic than Wang Aiqing, and honest no less than the fourth brother; he is bold and confident, giving people a real sense of security, no wonder Master Wang Aiqing can't bear to abandon him as a rural husband.

The elder brother in the countryside looked Liu Xiaonan up and down, nodded and smiled frequently: "Your sister Wang often mentions you to me, and you really are an extraordinary talent."

Liu Xiaonan wanted to say that you are the pride of our rural people.He looked at Wang Aiqing, and smiled embarrassingly: "Brother, you have won the prize. You and Master Wang are the ones who are extraordinary and admirable."

Standing between the two of them, Wang Aiqing said cheerfully, "You two are quite destined, and you compliment each other as soon as you meet."

The whole moving process took less than an hour, and Wang Aiqing left Liu Xiaonan to chat with her husband, and she was busy preparing lunch by herself.

There is no strangeness at all.After brewing a pot of tea, Liu Xiaonan was a good listener, and the elder brother in the countryside also started to chat because of his feelings about moving, and poured out the journey of him and Wang Aiqing along the way, as well as the ups and downs.

Liu Xiaonan was greatly shocked, deeply moved by their impressive love story, and intoxicated by its central spiritual yearning.I also admire them for maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude in the face of the pressure of life, and not giving up their yearning and hard work for a better life.

A wave of warmth rose in his heart, and he had the most authentic feeling and understanding of love, which was different from what he learned from books.

He asked himself in his heart, was there any true love in the past with Guan Xiaoyun?The answer is yes, but why can't you keep going?Does being caught in Wu Yanli's clear eyes mean a sense of responsibility?Can you take on that heavy responsibility?
Liu Xiaonan ate lunch at Wang Aiqing's house and drank some wine. They were very interested in the conversation, and they sat there until mid-afternoon before leaving and going back.

Wang Aiqing sent him to the street corner, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Xiaonan. As you can see, my house is very simple, and I don't have so many things that I need to ask someone to help move. My wife talks about talking, he is too lonely in this city, and he is under a lot of pressure. Today he is very happy, I did not find the wrong person, you understand his mind, and you two can talk."

Don't complain about the times, don't complain about fate, don't complain about life, don't complain about each other; praise each other's strengths and contributions, understand each other and never give up, and the family is full of peaceful and optimistic atmosphere-perhaps, this is why they warm each other. An important reason for stumbling to today.

This "fake" couple who were forced to divorce and still live together faced the pressure of life, and their relationship became stronger and deeper. This is true love.

This trip was very impressive, full of emotion and harvest.When saying goodbye to Wang Aiqing, Liu Xiaonan suddenly had a strong urge to write down their love story.

At this moment, in order to join the group, Wang Aiqing asked him to talk to him personally, and Liu Xiaonan knew it would be difficult to refuse.He almost revealed the secret in his heart, those words to prevaricate Dong Xiaojun would not work with Wang Aiqing."Actually, I'm mostly not interested," he said.

"Just say childish things!" Wang Aiqing became strict, and behind the strictness was a deeper level of concern and concern: "Joining the Communist Party is the path every outstanding young man must take. This is a factory, not a free and undisciplined countryside. The factory The Youth League Committee vigorously promotes you, but if you don’t respond positively, do you think it’s safe?”

"I don't quite understand the stakes, so I'll ask Master Wang to give me more advice in the future." Liu Xiaonan didn't want to make Wang Aiqing waste his time on this issue, so he changed the subject: "I just want to join the group, but there is a small Small request. The last time I moved, my eldest brother told me your story, I was very moved, and I also want to hear some real thoughts and specific situations of Master Wang at that time."

Wang Aiqing looked at Liu Xiaonan in surprise, feeling a little embarrassed: "You want to get to the bottom of your Master Wang's privacy?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "I envy your love, and I also want to seek a true love, but I don't know what true love is."

"It's working time now, I'll talk to you later when I find time." Wang Aiqing patted Liu Xiaonan's shoulder, expressing his affection unreservedly: "Stinky boy, few people are interested in the old things of your master Wang. If you are interested, I will satisfy you. You must also actively seek progress, and you must not let me or those who care about you down."

Back at work, Liu Xiaonan found that Wu Yanli was constantly observing her.When crossing each other, he took the initiative to say to her: "I want to apply for membership."

"Really?" Wu Yanli grabbed Liu Xiaonan's hands with forgetfulness, and almost jumped up: "I have been a member of the league for a long time, but I don't have your ability and can't play your role. I support you."

Liu Xiaonan's heart was burning hot, and those slender and warm little hands conveyed not only enthusiasm, but also a rare innocence and hope.
