Chapter 4 Getting to Know B[-]

When several people were leaving, two little girls jumped in from the door, one was wearing a purple plaid dress, the other was wearing a blue plaid dress, one was holding an umbrella in one hand, and the other was carrying a lunch box, looking like it was raining. It was so big that their skirts were already wet, the two of them ran towards Jiang Chen bouncing around, shouting as they ran, "Brother, brother."

When they saw someone next to them, they hesitated for a while and obediently stood aside and stared at them with big watery eyes. Lu Lao, who was about to leave, looked at the two little girls and immediately showed a kind smile. He looked at the two little girls. The girl looked at him with vigilant eyes, and he who wanted to tease him instantly dismissed the idea, and said with a smile: "Your brother's stomach growled just now, hurry up."

Secretary Xu here is a political worker after all. He smiled at the two girls and followed them.

"Goodbye, grandpa, goodbye uncle!" The two girls dealt with it like a routine, and after seeing the stranger leave, they regained their vitality, and immediately ran over to surround Jiang Chen's hospital bed.

Jiang Chen looked at the two little girls carefully and recalled every detail of their relationship with them. The one in the purple plaid dress was her younger sister Jiang Xin, and the one in the blue plaid dress was her cousin Zhang Qian. That is my aunt's child.When I was young, because my parents were often away and sent to reform, he and his sister often lived at the house of my grandfather and my aunt, so we had a very good relationship. My aunt often joked that you two should be my sons and daughters!Over time, the relationship between the four of them (there is one more who will appear later, and it is not yet time for him to appear) has the best relationship. He is full of emotions, maybe he did not have a sister in his previous life!Yes, it was the previous life. Now he has been reborn. His name is Jiang Chen. Don't worry about the former Jiang Chen. I will take care of them like my own sisters. Don't worry.

"I said it's raining so hard, why are you two here, where's Auntie?" Jiang Chen asked them.

The cousin here, Zhang Qian, put the stainless steel lunch box in her hand on the bedside table and said: "My mother suddenly couldn't leave today. I heard that the heavy rain upstream caused the water level to rise in our place. She has to guide the evacuation of the people, so let us come and see You, look, I specially made dumplings for you and asked us to send them to you, some of which were made by me and Xiaoxin."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Can the two of you still eat?"

"Hate it! Brother, you underestimate us." Jiang Xin said with a light slap.

The cousin Zhang Qian on the side also said, "That's right, do you think we wrapped all the dumplings and boiled them like you did when you came back from the Chinese New Year last year?"

Jiang Chen begged for mercy and said with a smile: "I was wrong, I shouldn't doubt the strength of my sisters, come on, let me taste it and see how it tastes."

"Okay." The two girls also forgot about this, and got busy one after another. One of them opened the lunch box and passed the chopsticks, and the other was busy pouring the vinegar seasoning bowl, and then looked at him expectantly.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, took the lunch box and looked at them with a smile, "You look at me like this, how can I eat it! Why don't we eat together!"

Although the two girls subconsciously swallowed their saliva, they immediately shook their heads and said, "No, this is specially prepared for you by my aunt. We can't eat it."

"That's right, besides, we've already eaten at home. These are specially reserved for you. You should eat them quickly." Cousin Zhang Qian added.

Jiang Chen looked at the two little girls amused, obviously he wanted to eat but pretended not to, so he wanted to tease them.

"Then if you don't eat it, I'll eat it." After speaking, he picked up a dumpling, looked at it and sniffed it pretendingly, stuffed the dumpling in his mouth and ate it, and said, "En, um, pork and green onions, delicious!"

The two girls swallowed subconsciously again and tried not to look at the dumplings. Jiang Chen looked funny. He understood that it was only the early 80s and supplies were still relatively scarce. of.

"Okay, I can't finish all this by myself, you guys have a taste of your own cooking too!" Jiang Chen said as he handed the lunch box in front of them.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Xin finally couldn't bear the temptation of dumplings and said cautiously: "Then eat one?"

Cousin Zhang Qian swallowed her saliva and nodded, "Well, let's have a taste."

The two girls didn't use chopsticks either, they directly grabbed a juice that was stained with the dipping bowl with their hands, stuffed it into their mouths, and said as they ate, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

After they finished eating, Jiang Chen looked at their satisfied and happy smiles and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

The two girls replied in unison: "It's delicious."

"Let's eat together," Jiang Chen suggested.

"But you are not enough!" the younger sister Jiang Xin worried.

"It's okay, I have a small appetite, and besides, there is a watermelon."

,,,,,,

The three people, you and her, made this colorless ward filled with laughter for a long time. They are angels who descended to the sky, brought joy to Jiang Chen, got rid of depression, and made him full of longing for this world!
After staying in the hospital for a few days, Jiang Chen felt that life was worse than death. He was fed up with the separation of life and death in the hospital. Now it is the 80s, and the technology and facilities are not as perfect as those in later generations. Maybe a disease that is easy to treat in later generations is here. There was nothing he could do. After Jiang Chen's strong request, he was discharged from the hospital. After staying at his aunt's house for one night, he ignored their objections and took a bus to B[-] early the next morning.

It's not that Jiang Chen doesn't want to stay at his aunt's house to rest. He really doesn't know how to deal with this relative who is both familiar and unfamiliar. Seeing his aunt's concerned smile, Jiang Chen always feels awkward. Maybe he won't be able to accept it for a while. , This has to be done slowly, so he found a reason to escape to the factory.

This military factory is not in the city, but on the loess plateau at the edge of the city. Perhaps due to the need for secrecy, it is surrounded by endless crops. There are no villages. There is only a cement road connecting the city not far away.

Jiang Chen got off the car at the intersection, because this small road does not allow outside cars to enter, so he had to walk along this concrete road to the depths of the crops. Although it is still morning, it is summer, and the sweat Falling down step by step, I don't know how long he walked, and when he was about to collapse, he finally saw some old buildings surrounded by an equally dilapidated red brick wall. its gone.

When he walked to a rusty iron gate, he found that the gate was closed. If it wasn't for the same rusty sign saying ××××B[-] factory, he must have thought he had come to the wrong place and cursed. He kicked the gate with his foot and sat down in the shade of a tree.

After waiting for a while, there was a burst of shouting and cursing from inside: "Who, disturbing my sleep at noon." A small window was opened on the iron gate and shouted: "Who?"

"Me." Jiang Chen got up and patted his buttocks and said, "Hi, I'm here to report."

"Report?" The young man inside asked, "Where's your letter of introduction?"

"No, here it is." Jiang Chen handed in the letter of introduction in the bag.

The man held it open, looked at it, and said in surprise, "Really, wait!" After speaking, he closed the iron window again.

"Hey! Hey! You opened the door anyway! It's so hot outside!" Jiang Chen yelled, but there was no movement inside.

"Damn!" Jiang Chen kicked the iron gate and said angrily, so he went to the shade of the tree just now and leaned against the tree pole to wait.

,,,,,,

I don't know how much time has passed, Jiang Chen was sleepy and vaguely heard: "Where is the new reporter?"

"Here!" Jiang Chen said weakly.

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of thick glasses, and his hair was very messy. He seemed to have rushed over without any care. Standing in front of Jiang Chen, he said, "You are Comrade Jiang Chen. Well, I am the chief of the personnel department of our factory, and my name is Ma Guoliang."
Although he was very displeased with the treatment just now, Jiang Chen held back and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Chief Ma, I'm Jiang Chen."

The Chief Ma seemed very excited and shook his head vigorously: "Xiao Jiang, I'll call you that. I've heard about you a long time ago. The factory manager said that our factory is going to have a talented student recently. We've been waiting for it, but we heard it again. Unexpectedly, we were all very worried. Later, I heard that you have solved a very difficult problem in our factory. Everyone is very curious and wants to see how this college student is different! By the way, the secretary did not say that you still have to pay Is the genius here, why is it here now?"

After a long time, it turned out that people didn't know that he was coming so soon, so they were so surprised and slack, and he lost his temper in an instant.He said softly, "Well, it's more urgent to stay in the hospital, and I don't like the smell of disinfectant all over the room, so I wanted to come to our factory quickly, so I came here in a hurry."

"Oh, young people are good, full of motivation! Good! Come on, let's go in." Chief Ma pulled Jiang Chen to go inside, and the young man just followed with the things beside him.

Chief Ma took Jiang Chen directly to a tube building, walked to a room, opened it with a key, and said, "Here, Xiao Jiang, this is the dormitory we prepared for you. You rest first, and we will go through the formalities in the afternoon. What do you think?" ?”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Chief Ma! This place is very nice."

"That's okay, you rest first, I'm busy first, you can tell me in the afternoon if you need anything, that's it, you rest!" Chief Ma said and left.

Jiang Chen went into the house after saying goodbye to Section Chief Jiang, and found that it was not bad. The people here put their heart into it. Although it is still a bit worn out, it is very clean. There are two rooms, a living room and a bedroom. The tables and chairs are all newly painted. The quilt has just been dried, and it seems to be a reserve directly taken out of the warehouse. There is also a small kitchen with a few simple kitchen utensils, which is not bad. Lie on the bed and fell asleep.
