In the rolling mill, Jia Dongxu felt that someone was pointing at him the whole morning. When he looked over, the others pretended that nothing had happened.
From time to time, people from other workshops would come to visit. Jia Dongxu was clear in his heart that they were here to watch a joke.
"That's Jia Dongxu. He can't even fork out fifty cents?”
"How can it be fake? I saw it with my own eyes. He married his wife and held a banquet, but there were no guests.
Li Wuwei had already set up fifteen tables, so the scene would be very lively. Oh right, they were from the same courtyard.”
"How does his new wife look? Can she compare to Qin Huairu?”
"Sigh! It's a long story!"
Finally, it was noon. Jia Dongxu didn't move at his post. When the workshop workers left, he silently took out a lunch box.
After opening it, there were two cornbread and some vegetables inside. Even though the lunch box was wrapped in cloth, it was still cold in the middle of winter.
He picked up the cornbread and took a big bite out of spite. He felt that his mouth was full of dregs and it was difficult to swallow.
"Ahem…"
Jia Dongxu could not catch his breath and almost choked to death. However, he choked until tears and snot came out.
"Eh, Jia Dongxu, what did you eat to make you choke like this?”
A worker had just returned to get his lunch box and had just gone to jail, so he missed the time.
"Ah, you're eating this for lunch? Why did you bring your own cornbread and cold dishes in the middle of winter?
I know. Your family is broke, right? But you can't do this!”
" If you don't have money, why would you buy a sewing machine? Do you want to learn from Li Wuwei? He's shameless. He has a wife to support him…"
Seeing Jia Dongxu's murderous gaze, the worker didn't dare to say anything else. He grabbed his lunch box and ran. In the blink of an eye, he went to the cafeteria and spread the news.
"Aiya, I was wondering why Jia Dongxu was so enthusiastic about eating every day. Why didn't he do anything today?”
"Let's go, quickly get some food and go to the workshop to watch the fun. There aren't many families in our factory who buy sewing machines.”
"Bring me along. I don't even know what Jia Dongxu looks like.”
The workers didn't mind the commotion. When they ran back to the workshop, they found that Jia Dongxu was gone.
She ran into the cement pipe outside the factory and hid there to eat.
Jia Dongxu ate the cornbread and cold dishes with tears in his eyes. He thought that he could go home for lunch tomorrow. At least there would be something warm.
After he finished eating, he leaned against the pipe to rest. He realized that there was still dry grass here. It would be beautiful if he hid here and roasted a chicken or something.
Coincidentally, there was still a chicken at home. This made Jia Dongxu want to bring it out to work tomorrow morning and roast it here for lunch. Wouldn't it be delicious?
……
Li Wuwei looked at Cai Wuwu staring at the tricycle that was carrying He Daqing to the courtyard house. He was a little confused.
Did he find a younger brother or a coachman?
Suddenly, he realized that Cai Wuwu had also found a widow with a child in the drama under Zhengyang Gate.
Although the widow's man was not actually dead and was lying about being killed in a car accident, it was actually more or less the same. Otherwise, Cai Wuyou might not have been attracted.
Old He's family consisted of three generations of men, and all four of them had fallen into the hands of the widow?
Li Wuwei shuddered. If he continued thinking, he would feel poisoned.
Then, he went to Xueru's silk shop, wondering if his new clothes were ready.
New Year's Day was in two days, and the year 53 was coming.
For many years to come, until the official start of the Siheyuan plot, it would actually be a decade of public-private partnership.
Because Qianmen Street was close to the train station and the main gate of the Imperial City, the business was developed. He might be able to make a difference.
"Yo, you're finally here!"
Chen Xueru was playing with an abacus at the counter. It was Monday, a working day, and it was morning. There were no customers in the shop.
However, silk was expensive. One could not earn money by selling it.
"I've been busy every day, so I came here when I had the time.”
Li Wuwei didn't stand on ceremony. They had captured enemy agents together, so their relationship was quite close.
"Your clothes are ready. Go in and try them on.”
Chen Xueru told the waiter to keep an eye on Li Wuwei and brought him to the inner hall.
Li Wuwei didn't hesitate either. He took off his cotton jacket. There was a close-fitting sweater inside. It was a little old. It was bought by his father when he was young.
However, it also highlighted his tall and straight body. The limit of human physical fitness. His muscles were given by Bruce Lee.
Bat muscles on the front, Christmas tree on the back, clenched fist and steel belly. It was no joke.
Chen Xueru swallowed her saliva and said subconsciously,""I have a new sweater here. You should change into it too. Yours is old-fashioned and doesn't match.”
"This isn't good! Sweaters are so expensive!"
Li Wuwei looked at the one he was wearing. It really didn't match his new coat.
"What's not good about it? I sell silk.”
Chen Xueru quickly took out a new sweater from the cabinet next to her. She thought about it and decided to take the sweater as well. She had originally planned to give it to her boyfriend, Hou Cheng, but it was a coincidence.
"Alright, where's the fitting room? I'll go change.”
Li Wuwei was always taken care of by Qin Huairu at home, so he was used to women giving him clothes.
"Just change your shirt and go to the fitting room. Turn your back and change here. I won't peek.”
Chen Xueru took a sip and sat down. She elegantly picked up the small cup and took a sip of black tea.
Li Wuwei didn't mind. What was the big deal about a man being naked?
He immediately turned around and changed out of his sweater, revealing the back of the Christmas tree. It was a sight to behold.
Chen Xueru almost knocked over the teacup in her hand and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Alright, Lady Boss, I have to say that you have good taste.”
Li Wuwei had changed into a brand new Chinese tunic suit. He looked like a cadre of this era.
"Not bad!"
Chen Xueru put down her cup and nodded.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to talk about serious matters! On the 2nd of next month, after New Year's Day, the awards will be announced on the streets. You have to be there to receive the awards in person.”
"Alright! I'll be at your shop early in the morning. The identity of the enemy spy has been confirmed, right?”
Li Wuwei spent a lot of effort to capture the enemy spies. His scheme was not small. It was to protect the three shops in his family and the three courtyards.
It was also to build a good relationship with the streets. These two things were actually one.
Moreover, he would have the opportunity to buy one or two large courtyards here.
He had to have children sooner or later, so he had to leave behind some money. He was born at Qidian, so he did not have to be so messy.
"Yes, it's an enemy spy who has been hiding for many years. Moreover, he's really an artist.”
Chen Xueru was still a little scared when she thought of this.
"Then can you take over the backyard?"
Although he hadn't entered the house, he felt that the courtyard behind him was very good just by looking at it.
"It's difficult. The courtyard is in the hands of the government. It's not that easy to take it. We'll see how it goes later.”
Chen Xueru suddenly changed the topic." Your wife is so beautiful. You're really willing to let her work in the factory!"”
"What else? Someone had to work to support the family!”
Li Wuwei said it as if it was a matter of course. In this new society, men and women were equal, and true love was priceless.
"You, what do you want me to say?
Since you don't want to go to the factory and don't want to do business for the time being, you might as well be a street cadre. You have to be a little motivated!”
Chen Xueru was just teasing him casually. It wasn't that simple to be a cadre.
"I'll be a cadre? Then you merchants will have to suffer.”
Li Wuwei also casually teased him. It was not that easy to get him to leave the mountain. He did not lack food or drink. He came from a working family, so no one could do anything to him.
"What, you still want to deal with me?”
Chen Xueru patted Li Wuwei's chest.
"Why would I deal with you? Oh no, I suddenly remembered that I haven't confiscated my clothes at home yet. I'll leave first.”
Li Wuwei couldn't take this atmosphere. Could it be that they were thinking about him?
"Why are you running? It's only morning. Why don't you stay here for lunch?”
Chen Xueru hired a cook to take care of the lunch.
"No, I really have something to do. Thank you for your clothes. I'll give you something tomorrow.”
Li Wuwei didn't forget to pack his old clothes. He still had to wear them when he went back.
"Then I'll be waiting."
Chen Xueru sent him to the door. Seeing him riding away on his bicycle, she took a bite and returned to the shop.
"Sister Xueru, why did you give Brother Li the sweater that you gave him?”
A shop assistant went over to chat. He brought some relatives with him, or else he wouldn't dare to say this.
"He looks good in it!"
Chen Xueru explained casually, but when she thought of Li Wuwei's exaggerated back muscles, she couldn't help but blush.
