Cannon fodder strategy

Chapter 47 The First Meeting

I asked Si Rong and my brother how they were; "Are you tired over there?"

The aunt frowned: "No news! We don't have a phone or anything, and it may not be convenient to write letters over there. Wait a little longer. I guess there is nothing wrong. This girl is also worrying."

"No news is good news, it must be all right."

"I hope, but with your elder brother, I guess nothing will happen."

I asked the He family again if they were looking for trouble again.

The aunt sneered; "Their family is full of bad water. If they seized the opportunity, do you think they would let it go? Fortunately, I figured it out from the beginning. I quickly found the leader of He Dazhuang's unit and told him what the hell he did. After filing a complaint, his leader refused to let the He family come to our house, otherwise the bonus would be deducted and a warning would be dealt with. Everyone in their family shrank.”

I thought to myself, don't say that leaders in the 80s meddle in their own business, it's good too.

In modern times, even if husband and wife cut each other, as long as it doesn't affect work, they don't care.

After dinner, I'm leaving.

When I came back this time, I saw that everyone in the family was doing well, so I was relieved. The moon is also energetic now, not as timid and cowardly as when I first saw it.

I think their life is going well, and I guess I won't have to come here for a long time.

Before leaving, my aunt brought me a lot of delicious food, such as cucumbers, persimmons, a bottle of homemade chili sauce, and fried pumpkin seeds: "You have nothing to do at work, just eat this snack It’s delicious. There are also some pickles, which I packed in glass bottles, and I can save some money with steamed buns and a few cakes.”

I hastened to thank you, although it was not a valuable thing, but my aunt really cared about me.

When I went far away, the moon came out and gave me a small bubble gum: "Auntie, I gave it to you."

I took it and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

"Goodbye, Auntie." Moon waved goodbye to me with a smile, blinking her eyes, she was such a beautiful child.She's a little more cheerful now.

When the cafeteria is on holiday, with these pickles and chili sauce, I don't have to go out to buy steamed buns.

When I was sleeping at night, I was thinking about meeting that Ou Zhenhai tomorrow.

Although I have never met him, the words on the book and his experience touched me deeply. I care about him very much, thinking that maybe he is still working hard now?Will he not be reconciled and let it be?

It's quiet everywhere, and there are very few people living here on weekends. I lie here alone, and I don't feel lonely in my heart. I just feel very peaceful. My life will get better and better, right?
The next day, I went to the market. This market is quite famous. Although it looks messy now, it is not very eye-catching, but later it became the largest distribution center for commercial and department stores, and the entire provincial capital is famous.

The business clothes over there cost several million. Who would have thought that these people working here would become one of the first batch of millionaires in this city in the future?

I really want to buy a house and settle in this city.But this idea is really unrealistic for me now.I can only shake my head, forget it, let's work hard.

The place that sells seasonings is just outside the vegetable market. There are many shops near the gate that buy seasonings, such as pepper noodles, chili noodles, cinnamon, sesame seeds, and pepper. The business is good and there is an endless stream.

I look for people according to the people in the photos.Then I saw a man selling pepper noodles, who looked to be in his thirties, with a cigarette in his mouth, sitting there idly.

With beards all over his face, and his clothes were dirty and tattered, he looked very down and out.His face was greasy, as if he hadn't washed his face for a long time, and he walked with a hunched back, as if he was dead and not buried.It was hard for me to accept for a while, that a handsome young man in the photo turned out to be like this?

I walked over, and the man glanced at me with a hoarse voice: "Why, what do you want to buy?"

"Excuse me, are you Ou Zhenhai? I have something to tell you." I took out the paper bag.

Who knew that the man looked me up and down, then gave a wicked smile, and shouted: "Ou Zhenhai, another girl is hooking up with you again, come out quickly."

This person is not Ou Zhenhai, but I feel very harsh when I hear this, what does it mean.

The people inside agreed: "Come out immediately!"

A man stepped out of the small room inside.Holding a bag of peppercorns, put it aside.

He was wearing a blue and white plaid shirt with jeans underneath, his hair was parted in the middle, and he was ironing the latest fashion of that era.

Judging by his facial features, he is indeed Ou Zhenhai, he is more sunny and confident than in the photo.

It's not the feeling of helplessness that people say at all.

It's just that I feel that the scholarly aura of this man is gone, replaced by a businessman's shrewdness and a somewhat bohemian temperament. He has adapted to the current life.I don't know what it feels like to feel lucky or regretful?
He came over and looked at me with some doubts: "Sister, what do you want from me?"

The man said with a smile; "I can't see it yet, did she take a fancy to you? You are really awesome, there are so many little girls looking for you every day."

"There's nothing to say, right? Hurry up and shut up, what if you scare the little girl away." Ou Zhenhai kicked that person, looked at me, and smiled again; "I don't know you, little girl? Or did we meet, I don't remember?"

I shook my head: "I'm looking for you for the first time."

"Oh, just tell me if you have anything to do." He took out a cigarette as he spoke, but after thinking about it, he put it away.His eyes kept looking at me, which made me very uncomfortable.

"I'm from the First Engineering Factory, and I need to ask you for something."

When Ou Zhenhai heard the name of the factory, his face changed, and then he smiled: "Oh, I really didn't expect that, does anyone still remember me in that place? Am I not a rubbish idiot with two hundred and five people who will never have a future? The people in the factory Let you see my joke?"

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, you misunderstood, I'm actually new here..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything. You just need to tell them. I can't eat now. I'm still doing nothing like before. I'm nothing. Are you satisfied? Then go back." After he finished speaking, he walked outside.

The man asked, "What are you doing?"

"Go out to smoke a cigarette, I'm so annoying."

I feel very depressed, is it not like this at all?Is this person so arbitrary?
After thinking about it, I decided to chase him out, at least give him the money.

The man stopped me.Smiling; "I think you are also an honest girl, so don't get involved with him, he is a philanderer, a simple girl like you is definitely not good, you should give up. Would you like to have a Thirteen Fragrance ? I'll give you two yuan a box. It's just become popular with us, it's a good thing."

I pushed away the thirteen incense sticks in his hand, and chased them out: "Wait a minute, Ou Zhenhai!"

Ou Zhenhai turned his head back and sneered: "You don't understand what I said so clearly, what's the matter, you want me to go back, hehe, I won't go."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I just want to give you this thing." I gave him the paper bag, and I told him that I found it when I was packing up.He said like this: "I inquired about the old factory manager, and then I found out where you are now, so I came here. I didn't know those people before, and I didn't know what happened. It's your determination or something. I took the notebook with me, do you want to take it back?"

Ou Zhenhai didn't speak, he kept frowning and listened to me, and didn't stop me.

I said again; "I think you are a very good person, and your hard-working and enterprising spirit has always inspired me. I feel very touched. I am very incompetent and have not studied much. Now I can only do Cleaner, so I admire you."

"That's right. I keep the money, but I don't want the notebook. You can keep it."

"It was written by you so hard, so you don't want it?" I looked at him in surprise.

"So what? Everyone has an idiot time. Since dreams are impossible to realize, I don't want to see those things, and I don't want to go to college or anything. It feels good to make money now."

"You're not old now, and there's still time to take the college entrance examination." In the 80s, the college entrance examination was not long after the resumption, and many people who had experienced that catastrophe were also taking the college entrance examination.

In my last life, I heard that there was a person who took the exam again for eight years before he was admitted to university, and later became a professor.

"I can't take the exam now. All I can think about is how to make money." He smiled, lit the cigarette, and looked at me with a smile.

He is really handsome, but for some reason, he gives people a particularly decadent feeling.

I used to think of him as my idol.Who knows that he is completely different from what he imagined, he is just doing nothing now, he doesn't want to study, and from what that means, he is still a playboy.

I said, "Okay, I'm leaving then."

Ou Zhenhai suddenly said: "Wait a minute, are you really not someone who sent me to find out about my affairs?"

I thought it was funny: "If you don't believe me, go check it out. I'm just a new cleaner. It's me when Mrs. Wei retires."

Ou Zhenhai nodded and muttered: "It's Mrs. Wei, she treats me very well. Although I don't want to listen to her preaching to me, she is one of the few people who cares about me. Okay, I will trust you. You go Go ahead. Don’t look for me in the future. I’m a typical failure in the factory, a waste that is ridiculed. I can’t become a righteous person in my life.”

A lot of question marks popped up in my head, and I felt that he seemed to have something in his words, and it was hard for me to ask if he didn't tell me.It seems very depressed.
