Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 92 The aesthetics of the times

Leprechaun?

This is the second time Chen Huajiang has heard this word from Zhang Hong, and when she spoke, there was a bit of repulsion in her expression.

Chen Huajiang looked at Wei Lanhua again, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he understood.

Originally, he didn't find it strange. He had the memory and aesthetics of later generations and felt that women like this were everywhere in the streets.

But now he understands that this kind of woman does not conform to the aesthetics of the current society, and belongs to the role of "humei".

When the famous TV series "Journey to the West" was played, the fairies and ghosts in it were basically like this.

There is even a joke in later generations. One of the current stars is one, but in the past they were all supporting actors, and they were not positive actors, they were all negative actors.

Either a man-eating goblin, a seductive vixen, a white-bone spirit, etc.

"Whatever he looks like, he was born to his adoptive mother. Whether he is beautiful or ugly, that's all."

"As for people, don't follow what others say, and don't look at yourself in the eyes of others."

"I'm not satisfied with you, not with your appearance, but with your character. The profession of a waiter is about smiling and feeling at home, rather than avoiding eyes and being taciturn."

After Chen Huajiang figured it out, he first comforted Wei Lanhua, and then pointed out her problem. She couldn't do the job of waitress, and was going to see if she was willing to work as a chef in the kitchen.

Wei Lanhua listened to the words of the man in front of her. The previous words made her feel relieved and felt slightly warm in her heart.

Her appearance caused her to suffer a lot in the village. The women in the village called her a coquettish woman who seduced their men whenever she walked.

The old people in the village also pointed at him and made irresponsible remarks, and even the children would throw stones at her.

This is why Wei Lanhua felt that she could no longer stay in the village, so she asked her cousin Zhang Hong to see if she could find a job in the city.

Chen Huajiang's words were just objective statements, but in Wei Lanhua's ears, they were warm and touching words of encouragement, and her heart was filled with warmth.

But Chen Huajiang's words later made her heart sink again, like a stone falling into a pond, sinking quickly.

"I can do it."

Wei Lanhua said nervously, and in order to prove that she could do it, she forced a smile.

It's just that her smile is even scarier than not smiling at all. It's a typical smile but not a smile at all. It's so stiff that Chen Huajiang twitches his mouth just looking at it.

Zhang Hong on the other side rolled her eyes. Her cousin's smile could scare a child.

In her heart, she felt that her cousin was out of luck. Under such circumstances, how could the boss let her work as a waiter? She would probably have to work as a domestic worker.

Wei Lanhua smiled like a fool, which made Chen Huajiang feel a little pity for her.

Although he is young now, he is already over 40 years old in his heart. There is no trace of panic and reluctance in the other party, just like a drowning man trying to grasp a life-saving straw.

I'm 17 years old, and I won't be more than a high school student in the future.

"Let's do this. You can try to work with Zhang Hong for two days. If you can do it, you can be a waiter. If you can't, don't force it."

"My shop has just opened for a short time, and it is the time when we need manpower. If the waiter can't do it, he can also help in the back kitchen. Of course, the salary is a little less than that of the waiter."

Chen Huajiang decided to give the other party a chance. Waiting is not a difficult job. The other party should be nimble when he comes from a rural area, but his personality may not suit him well.

"Thank you, thank you boss."

"I must work hard and I won't let you down."

As soon as she heard that Chen Huajiang gave her a chance, Wei Lanhua said quickly.

She was filled with excitement and vowed to work hard and try to stay as a waiter.

Chen Huajiang waved his hand and turned to leave.

In the afternoon, He Song, Wang Dali, and four other workers, Zhang Yu, Zhang Heng, Song Jun, and Ma Qiang, came to find Chen Huajiang.

Among them, Zhang Yu and Zhang Heng are two brothers who look very similar.

"Brother Chen, we agree with you."

"This time the factory is apportioning money and the children are all in kindergarten. It's unjustifiable not to get money, but getting more or less is a problem."

"No, if we have more money, we can't afford it. If we have less money, we are afraid that our children will be made things difficult by teachers and laughed at by their classmates."

As soon as they saw Chen Huajiang, they gathered around each other and chattered.

Everyone agrees with Chen Huajiang's proposal to contribute funds in the name of a collective, but no one knows how much money they will contribute.

"Let's each contribute a piece. I'll play by ear during the parent-teacher conference on Friday. What do you think?"

"As for the names of donations, they are also arranged in stroke order, with the collective famous doctors donating to the kindergarten."

Chen Huajiang said his proposal without any nonsense.

One dollar is naturally not much, everyone agreed.

In this way, the six people decided to advance and retreat together, headed by Chen Huajiang, and make donations in the name of a small collective of seven people.

Two days later, on Friday, at [-]:[-], Chen Huajiang's family of three started to set off.

Chen Huajiang hugged Huanhuan and played with her while following his wife towards the kindergarten.

The time was only 01:30, and there was still half an hour before the afternoon parent-teacher meeting. The couple were not in a hurry to go there. They saw many couples with their children on the basketball court, so they walked over there.

This era is the last time for factories to be glorious. Even in the future, 90.00% of communities across the country will not be able to achieve the grandeur and splendor of ordinary factory-family homes.

There are four basketball courts here, juxtaposed together. They are packed every afternoon with workers’ families playing ball here.

There are rows of table tennis tables next to it, and many children are playing table tennis there.

However, the table is much shabby, generally made of bricks and cement. Chen Huajiang and his colleagues have played table tennis there before, but they would often be kicked away by the children after only a few minutes of playing.

Yes, Hongqi Factory not only has a factory-run kindergarten, but also a factory-run elementary school. Family members of the factory attend school for free.

The table tennis table is the favorite place for primary school students. Even during class time, there are many naughty children skipping class to play table tennis.

"Hua Jiang, long time no see."

"I was talking to He Song about you just now. He said you would show up today, but I didn't believe it. After all, your wife usually comes to the parent-teacher meeting, but I didn't expect you to actually come today."

As soon as he walked to the edge of the basketball court, someone saw his family of three inside, and his colleagues from the former factory area waved and shouted to him.

Chen Huajiang smiled, hugged his daughter, held his wife's hand, and walked towards them.

Hongqi Factory has more than 2000 employees and is involved in many fields such as steel wire, hardware, plate coils, tape measures, and coal stoves.Workers also belong to different factories and districts, and their relationships with each other can vary from close to distant.
