Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 165 Zhou Xiaobai's Mother
"Is Li Weidong a cadre?"

When Qin Huairu heard the news from his son, his first reaction was disbelief.

She is also a regular employee of the rolling mill, so she has a certain understanding of the promotion of these units.

Like an uncle, an eighth-level fitter, who is both old and capable, isn't he still a worker?
What is a cadre?
That is to break away from the working class and start to control the workers in turn.

How long has Li Weidong been working?

How could it be possible to be a cadre?
"I swear, it was Li Weibin who told me secretly, and he also asked me not to talk nonsense."

Sticking his neck, he said vowedly.

"Okay, how do children know what a cadre is? Maybe they are in charge of two or three people." Qin Huairu shook his head.

There are many such team leaders in rolling mills.

But it is still far from being a cadre.

"No, Li Weibin said that his second brother is the vice captain, or some kind of deputy section chief, who is in charge of many people."

"Eat your meal, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, and you're still the deputy section chief."

Qin Huairu shook her head, disbelieving the child's words even more.

It's just that after she finished her meal, she cleared the table and turned around to go out.

"Silly, are you home?"

Qin Huairu came directly to Sha Zhu's house, and at this time, Sha Zhu was talking to his younger sister who had finally come back.

"Sister Qin, I just ate at that meeting, are you busy?"

Seeing Qin Huairu, Shazhu took two steps forward.

"I want to ask you something."

Seeing that He Yushui was also there, Qin Huairu hesitated for a while, but still nodded.

"what's up?"

Not only Shazhu was curious, but even He Yushui couldn't help but look over.

"Then the stick will come home and tell me that Li Weidong is a cadre? Do you know?"

"Brother Weidong is a cadre? How is that possible?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he shook his head vigorously.

He knew what unit Li Weidong worked in, and he had only been there for a few days without mentioning it. His age alone was there, so how could he be a cadre.

"But Banggen said that the youngest of the Li family told him at school, and heard it at the dinner table. It seems that he is the deputy captain of some farm, or the deputy section chief."

Qin Huairu thought for a while and said.

"That's even more impossible. I learned before that Weidong works on a farm. There is a vice-captain on his farm, but the vice-captain corresponds to the sub-section level."

As soon as Sha Zhu's words fell, He Yushui beside him couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sister Qin, how could Li Weidong be the vice-captain? It must be a kid bragging. I think you care about him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Qin wants to introduce her sister to Weidong, so she wants to know more about the situation."

Shazhu doesn't think about Qin Jingru anymore.

Because not long ago, someone introduced him to someone, and from all aspects, he was quite satisfied.

More importantly, the other party was from the city, and a younger sister also worked in the rolling mill.

"Qin Jingru?"

He Yushui frowned.

At that time, Shazhu was still telling her about Li Weidong, saying that she didn't know how to take the initiative, which annoyed He Yushui a little.

Although she had met Li Weidong once or twice, it was limited to this, and she didn't like anyone younger than herself.

However, when Qin Huairu wanted to introduce her sister to Li Weidong, she felt a little uncomfortable.

I always feel as if my things have been robbed.

Even if she didn't have any feelings for Li Weidong.

Silly Zhu didn't see the strangeness of his sister, he smiled apologetically at Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, just listen to what the children say, don't take it seriously."

"Well, I see."

Qin Huairu nodded.

Originally, she still wanted to ask Shazhu a lot, but because of He Yushui's presence, she didn't say anything more.

It's just that when she got home, she couldn't fall asleep, and her mind was in a mess.

The same is true for Qin Jingru on the other side of the bed.

She already knew about someone introducing someone to Sha Zhu.

Originally, she still thought that Sha Zhu was old and ugly, but she agreed with her sister's persuasion.

But I didn't expect that I hadn't made it here yet, and he was about to have a partner, and she was still a girl from the city.

It is said that she is also pretty.

She is a girl from the countryside, why should she compare herself with others?
Although there is no silly column, my sister also mentioned Li Weidong several times before, but there is no more text.

Even though she didn't believe that Li Weidong really became a cadre, what if?
Isn't there even the last hope?

So how long can she stay in the city?

Do you really want to go back to the countryside?
I am used to living in the city, and I don't have to face the loess every day to earn work points. Letting her go back to the countryside is more uncomfortable than killing her.

At this moment, deep unwillingness rose in her heart.

She had to find a way to stay in the city.

even if...

Naturally, Li Weidong didn't know that Qin Huairu's family was "extraordinarily concerned" about him.

After scalding his feet alone, he lay directly on the bed and went to sleep.

The next day, Li Weidong came directly to the new farm, and found that Zhao Haifeng had already arrived, and besides him, there were obviously more people here.

Roughly estimated, there were almost two hundred people.

"Weidong, come here quickly."

Zhao Haifeng saw Li Weidong and waved.

"Captain, the instructor is quite efficient."

Li Weidong stepped forward.

Although I didn't see Zhou Ji, but the other party had just finished talking yesterday, and he brought him here today, which shows his ability.

"There are still too few people, and he is blocking the gates of farms one by one."

Zhao Haifeng nodded, then pointed to the place where many prisoners were cleaning up and said: "According to the previous plan, this area will be leveled out in the next few days, and then the dormitory will be built on a scale that can accommodate 500 people, which will be more efficient. "

The location Zhao Haifeng pointed to was determined by the four of them yesterday. It was located on the south side of an orchard. It happened to take advantage of the gentle slope to block the north wind that can freeze people to death in winter.

Moreover, building a post in the orchard can also condescend to observe the situation of the entire farm.

"Captain, do our workers have any arrangements with the prison guards?" Li Weidong asked.

"For the workers, the prison is responsible for some of them, and we recruit some ourselves. For the prison guards, they are all newly demobilized soldiers, and the higher-ups will arrange them. Why? Do you have relatives who want to arrange work?"

Zhao Haifeng didn't think there was any surprise.

These days, finding a formal job is not as easy as imagined.

It can even be said to be difficult.

In particular, some big factories can be said to be closed.

As long as there is a quota of regular workers, it will be passed down to three generations.

Nowadays, there are more and more unemployed young people in the city. They have no jobs and still eat the minimum guarantee of commodity food, so they have to rush to the countryside to farm the land and support themselves.

Not to mention Li Weidong, even Zhao Haifeng himself had to take care of relatives and friends.

"Well, a few places may be needed." Li Weidong nodded.

"I'll give you five first. Let's talk about it if it's not enough. We'll discuss it later."

Although Zhao Haifeng is the captain, he is also vigorous and decisive in his work, but he is not alone, and prefers to discuss.

This may also have something to do with starting everything from scratch on the new farm, and he can't handle it on his own.

Like the third farm, the sense of presence of the several deputy captains is a bit low, and each is responsible for a set of things, which seems to be distinct.

"it is good."

With Zhao Haifeng's words, Li Weidong's next step will be easier.

Although there are only two suitable candidates at present, there are more places, and they are in hand, and they may be used at any time.

In fact, since the prison side handed over part of the recruitment of workers to the new farm, it has already explained the problem.

In the next few days, Li Weidong basically spent in the new farm.

The house where the prisoners live, as well as the office and accommodation, are proceeding in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, it's the weekend.

After breakfast, Li Weidong rode a bicycle to wait near Zhou Xiaobai's house.

Today is the day we made an appointment to go to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences together.

However, he waited for nearly an hour, but Zhou Xiaobai never came out.

For this always punctual girl, something was obviously abnormal.

Just when Li Weidong was hesitating whether to come and have a look, a middle-aged woman with a lot of temperament came over.

"Are you Li Weidong?"

The other party came to Li Weidong, took a meaningful look at the bicycle he was riding, and asked.

"It's me, who are you?"

Li Weidong also looked at the other party. In fact, he already had some guesses in his heart, because the other party was five or six points similar to Zhou Xiaobai.

"I am Xiaobai's mother."

The other party's answer also verified his thoughts.

"Hello, Auntie."

Li Weidong never expected that instead of waiting for Zhou Xiaobai, his mother-in-law would come instead... No, it was Zhou Xiaobai's mother.

"Xiaobai is a little unwell today, let me say sorry to you, I can't accompany you to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences."

Zhou Xiaobai's mother said calmly.

There was neither anger nor disdain on her body, as if her arrival was just to convey the news.

And Li Weidong was just a stranger to her.

And from her words, it can basically be judged that Zhou Xiaobai has confessed and lenient.

"It's okay, I'll go by myself."

Li Weidong answered quickly.

Although he didn't intend to abduct the other party's daughter, he was not so confident.

"If you want to ask Professor Zhao for help, you can mention my name. My name is Su Peiyun. By the way, please help me with my voice."

"Ok."

"When you are free in the future, you can come to play at home."

Zhou Xiaobai's mother paused at this point, and seemed to be explaining something: "There are not many friends who can be recognized by Xiaobai."

"I will, do you have any orders?"

"No, slow down on the road."

"it is good."

The conversation between the two parties ended soon. After Li Weidong bid farewell to the other party, he got on his bicycle and left.

It's just that I already understand in my heart that I can no longer ride this 'free' bicycle in the future.

Although he didn't say anything bad from the beginning to the end, his attitude has actually been shown.

The other party has no objection to Li Weidong making friends with Zhou Xiaobai, but it is limited to ordinary friendship.

He wanted to be someone's son-in-law, but he was obviously not qualified.

If he persisted, the countdown to Zhou Xiaobai's working days on the farm would start.

Don't even think about going home as a guest again.

"Ah."

For some reason, Li Weidong remembered a vulgar saying.
