"Yo, Li Wuwei, are you guys planning to go out?”
Yan Bugui was cleaning his fishing rod, preparing to go fishing. He couldn't be idle during the weekend.
"That's right! Why didn't he bring Qin Huiru to learn sewing?”
Li Wuwei had already planned to have a child, so he had to prepare the child's clothes in advance. The sewing machine came in handy.
"That's good. We have to use it after we buy it. Where did you catch the fish last time? Tell me again. I'll try my luck today.”
The winter was much colder than it would be decades later, but there were many fish in the river.
"It's just outside the Dongzhimen Gate. Go to the right. Someone is fishing there.”
Li Wuwei recalled that the city walls of the capital were considered ancient buildings. Starting from this year, they had been demolished one after another. Dongzhimen was the second ring.
Because of this, the talented woman Lin Huiyin was so angry that she collapsed. The nine gates of the four cities were empty.
Fortunately, he had the time to visit every city gate and witness history.
"Then I'll go in a while."
Yan Bugui also planned to catch a big fish.
Li Wuwei brought Qin Huiru along and spent 10 cents to watch an old movie. It was good that there was no popcorn or coke.
At noon, they ate mutton hotpot dipped in sesame sauce. It felt like they were fishing at the bottom of the sea, but the service could not keep up.
"The mutton hotpot is so delicious!"
Qin Huairu wasn't a glutton, but who didn't like meat?
"It's delicious, right? We go out to eat during the holidays.”
Li Wuwei was someone who was familiar with the Confucian classics and had learned to stay away from the kitchen.
"That would cost a lot of money!"
Qin Huairu's heart ached for money again.
"If you follow me, you won't have to worry about money. Let's go to Chen Xueru."
The current capital was like a circle in the Second Ring Road. It was only 40 kilometers around the entire city wall, but it could accommodate more than two million people. It was still very prosperous.
"Yes!"
Qin Huairu felt inferior every time she thought of Chen Xueru. However, she felt more confident now that she was with her man.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the silk shop. It was Sunday, and business was good. There were many well-dressed people choosing cloth inside.
Chen Xueru's eyes were sharp. When she saw that person, she shouted," Li Wuwei, you're here."”
"You go ahead with your work. I'm not in a hurry.”
He really had nothing to do, but Chen Xueru asked the waiter to serve the customers and followed him.
"Hey, little sister, you're here today too. Why aren't you wearing that new set of clothes?”
When Chen Xueru saw Qin Huairu again, she still felt that she was very beautiful. Even if she dressed up a little, she could still be compared to her.
"I'm just out shopping. I'm just a worker. I can't dress that well.”
Qin Huairu had only been working for less than a month, yet she was already talking about her identity as a worker. This was an honor.
"Younger Sister, you have such high awareness. Come with me to the inner hall to slowly chat.”
Chen Xueru pulled Qin Huiru aside and ignored Li Wuwei.
"No, don't just focus on your sister. I'm your brother.”
Li Wuwei joked and followed suit.
In the inner hall, Chen Xueru was not to be outdone and retorted,"Officer Li, what are you drinking today?"
"Lady Boss, why are you calling Officer Li?”
Qin Huairu could not help but ask.
"Oh, little sister still doesn't know! As for the second incident, Director Li invited your man to work on the street. He's a grade-8 clerk, and he'll be a street cadre if he's promoted one grade higher.
Your man is sick, so he rejected this good opportunity. In the end, it was not easy to persuade him to work on the street on the 2nd of every month for a day and give him five yuan. This was what I promised on his behalf.
Don't look down on the day shift. He's also a street officer now, and he's the superior of us merchants.”
Chen Xueru said as she looked at Li Wuwei provocatively." You don't know how to improve yourself. You run around outside every day. Is work more tiring than this?"
Li Wuwei was speechless. What did he mean by sick? It felt like he was cursing.
It seemed that everyone was looking forward to his work day by day. Chen Xueru was especially concerned about this matter.
"Ah! Brother, you're already a street officer. You can be a cadre in the future!”
Qin Huairu was pleasantly surprised. Happiness had come too suddenly, and she had not been given time to prepare.
"Huai Ru, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm just a supernumerary member. Besides, there are plenty of street officers.”
Chen Xueru continued," Li Wuwei, you're a level eight clerk, a reserve officer. You're different from others.”
"Lady Boss, stop teasing me. I just bought a sewing machine. Can you introduce me to the female tailor who made the clothes last time so that Qin Huiru can learn how to make clothes from her?”
Li Wuwei couldn't take it anymore. If it wasn't for his love for peace, he would have become a street official.
Merchants like Chen Xueru were unlucky. They were all reduced to ordinary shop assistants and worked for the group.
"It's a small matter. I'll get someone to call Auntie Fang over now. Her ancestor was a tailor and her skills are especially good.”
Chen Xueru only wanted Li Wuwei to be more motivated, not to push him too hard.
After a while, the coffee was served. Chen Xueru suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the drawer. She took out white sugar and milk slices and added them to the cup. She stirred them before handing them to Li Wuwei.
"Here, it doesn't taste bitter like this!"
"Thank you!"
Li Wuwei wouldn't fall for this. Chen Xueru had a strong personality and couldn't be deceived by appearances.
When Qin Huairu saw this scene, she once again felt that it was right to have children earlier.
Chen Xueru sat down and took a sip of her tea. She said,""Li Wuwei, don't you always say that you're a working-class person? That's because you bought a bicycle and a sewing machine.”
"Lady Boss, my Big Brother Li just gave out a bonus and bought it with that money.”
Qin Huairu defended him. Even though she knew that Chen Xueru was joking, she still did not want her man to suffer.
"Reward? Didn't he stop working at the factory?”
Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered what Li Wuwei had said on the street that day.
Alright, are you here to collect rewards? They had just caught a spy here and received a reward. In the blink of an eye, there was even a bonus from the factory?
"My Big Brother Li is really amazing…"
Qin Huairu explained the matter of the penknife.
This gave Li Wuwei a headache. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let the two girls meet. He would have exposed each other here. Not only would Qin Huairu know that he was working part-time on the streets, but he would also let Chen Xueru know that he was a useful inventor.
"Ah! Li Wuwei, you still have this ability! Why don't you make me a penknife to broaden my horizons?”
Chen Xueru thought of how Li Wuwei had asked the spy to draw one for her.
"What are you thinking about? Do you have any tools? They would be able to sell it in the market when the time came. They were already building factories.
Lady Boss, you should go and do what you need to do. I see that there are quite a lot of guests outside.”
Li Wuwei had to let them leave first. If they continued chatting, their secrets would be exposed.
"There are many customers, and I also have many waiters!”
Chen Xueru didn't take it seriously, but she didn't provoke Li Wuwei anymore. Instead, she went to chat with Qin Huairu.
Fortunately, Tailor Auntie Fang arrived quickly and brought Qin Huairu to a nearby shop to learn. Li Wuwei followed her and ran away first.
Half an hour later, Chen Xueru also came over.
"No, you're so free. Didn't you go out with your partner? Today is Sunday."
Li Wuwei was waiting on a chair outside. This was a courtyard, and there were female workers making clothes inside. Auntie Fang was the leader of this place and also the boss.
"You mean Hou Cheng? He's boring, but you're more interesting.”
Chen Xueru also spoke without restraint.
"I…"
Li Wuwei wanted to tease him back, but he couldn't open his mouth because he realized that no matter how he answered, it would be ambiguous.
Good heavens, he was quite good at talking, but he actually fell for Chen Xueru.
"Li Wuwei, what do you think about me breaking up with Hou Cheng? He wants to go abroad, and I don't want to go.
Those who were unfamiliar with foreign countries were all foreigners. How could they be as friendly as their own people?”
Chen Xueru wanted to hear his opinion because she realized that Li Wuwei was different from the average person.
Li Wuwei was silent for a moment. Actually, there was nothing bad about running away now. However, the motherland was not bad either. It would only get better and better.
He was a native of his country and was patriotic to his bones.
"Look at me, why am I telling you this!”
Chen Xueru saw that he didn't answer, so she found a way out." Li Wuwei, you know how to do accounts. Come to my shop on the first of every month to do accounts. I'll give you 50 yuan as a reward."”
"How much?"
Li Wuwei suddenly realized that his teacher was right when he was studying. He was not afraid of traveling the world if he learned mathematics, physics, and chemistry well!
If he had a skill, wouldn't it be easy to earn money?
