At half past five in the afternoon, the loudspeaker played the melody of Dongfanghong punctually.
It was time to get off work.
Chen Yong tidied up his desk and prepared to go home.
He was not busy in the afternoon. After Qin Huiru left, a few workers who had suffered some superficial injuries came over. They disinfected them with alcohol and applied some bromin solution, which was commonly known as red medicine, and everything was basically done.
He had only been in the factory for a short period of time, and his medical skills had not been recognized by everyone yet. That was why he seemed so idle.
The main rolling mill had just set up the infirmary, and there was no such thing as fooling around with patients (pretending to be sick) to get sick leave. It was estimated that after a long time, some cunning people would definitely think of this. At that time, Chen Yong would probably not have such an idle life.
After closing the door of the infirmary, Chen Yong slowly walked out of the factory.
Needless to say, this factory with tens of thousands of people was packed with people everywhere after work. The long queue of people could not be seen at a glance. It really looked like some scenic spots during the long holidays in the future.
He followed the crowd and walked out slowly. It took him more than ten minutes to walk out of the rolling mill.
"The weather is getting colder and colder."
A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Yong could not help but shiver. He hurriedly tightened his clothes and walked even faster. In this cold weather, it was better to hurry home and warm up.
On the way, he found an empty alley. As he entered and exited, he had some more vegetables in his hand.
Carrying half a catty of pork belly and some side dishes, he passed by the braised pork shop and spent some money to cut some pig's head meat. Today, he got a promotion, a raise, and found a wife. It wasn't too much to celebrate, right?
" I like you. Those eyes are moving…"
Chen Yong walked into the courtyard while humming a song from the future.
"Yo, what's the occasion today? Xiao Chen, you've invested so much. Can you not do it in the future?”
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chen Yong heard someone talking to him. He looked up and saw that it was the Third Master of the courtyard, Yan Bugui.
"How can I, Third Master? I'm officially employed today. I'm just buying myself some good food to celebrate.”Chen Yong smiled gently. It was a big deal at this time. It was normal to eat something good to celebrate.
When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately said," Aiya, that's great news. Congratulations."”
"Thank you, Third Uncle. I'll go back first.”
Chen Yong didn't say anything else. He carried the vegetables and walked into the backyard.
Yan Bugui was indeed very stingy and greedy, but it was not as exaggerated as some novels. He would think of ways to take advantage of others when he saw that they had good things. If he really did that these days, he would not be a boss.
Anyway, after spending half a month with him, Chen Yong had changed his opinion of him quite a bit.
At least he didn't take advantage of her.
The relationship between the two of them was still passable. He had no reason to hate others.
At the Jia family's residence in the middle court.
Jia Zhangshi was cooking at the door, and the auntie next door was chatting with her.
"Mrs. Jia, I heard that your Dongxu is going on a blind date tomorrow?”
"That's right. Although that girl is from the countryside, she's definitely a flower in the countryside. She's beautiful and a good worker. My son said that after she gets married and signs her household registration in the city, he'll think of a way to get her a job.”
Jia Zhang-shi's face was full of pride when she mentioned this.
She knew in her heart that with her family's conditions, if she wanted to marry a girl from the city, she would basically not be able to marry anyone good.
In comparison, it was better to marry a girl from the countryside. His family was from the city, so he could choose any girl he wanted to marry. The matchmaker would find a good girl for him. Tomorrow was the time when the two families agreed to meet.
When Jia Dongxu heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Even though the girl in the countryside was still a little unwilling, he could not resist the matchmaker's praise. She praised the girl like a fairy. He had also thought things through. If the other party was really so beautiful and capable, it would not be a loss to marry her.
Grandmother Jia and the other woman did not lower their voices.
Chen Yong had just walked into the middle court when he heard the conversation between the two.
"Heh, you want to marry Qin Huiru? In my next life!"
He glanced at Jia Zhang-shi and secretly mocked her in his heart. He carried the vegetables and walked to the backyard.
"Wow, Doctor Chen, you're eating so well today?”
"Is there something good?"
Meat was definitely the most eye-catching thing in this day and age. When the two aunties who were cooking saw Chen Yong, their sharp eyes immediately spotted the vegetables in his hands.
"It's nothing. I became a full-time employee today, so I bought something good to celebrate.”
Chen Yong still said the same thing.
As mentioned before, doctors were a very respectable profession at this time. The news that Chen Yong had become an official doctor at the rolling mill was explosive enough. A few aunties shouted loudly, and soon, the residents of the middle court who heard the news came out to congratulate him.
"Tsk, he just became a full-time employee. What's there to be proud of?”Jia Zhang-shi had stolen the limelight. She squinted at Chen Yong in the crowd, especially the meat in his hands. She couldn't help but mutter sourly," You eat so well. One look and I can tell that you don't know how to live. A little brat that no one cares about is a little brat that no one cares about. I'll see how you live in the future!"”
Chen Yong was not in the mood to pay attention to Jia Zhang-shi. He finally managed to get the enthusiastic crowd to help him, and then he returned home with a head full of sweat and a little embarrassed.
The room in the rolling mill was not small. It was about 35 square meters and was divided into two small rooms.
This was originally the house of another worker. Due to the job transfer, his family had moved to another city. This house had just been taken back by the rolling mill and was assigned to Chen Yong, who had just entered the mill.
The furniture in the house was quite complete. The family left in a hurry, which was considered good for Chen Yong.
However, since he was moving to a new house, he had a complete set of furniture. He also bought a lot of things such as blankets, pots, and pans. He was not very particular about his life, but he did not have the habit of using second-hand things.
After placing the dishes on the table, Chen Yong glanced at the portrait of a great man on the wall.
In this era, almost every household had a portrait. It was considered a characteristic of the era. This was something left behind by the previous owner. Chen Yong would not be so stubborn as to throw it away.
There was a stove in the room, and the fire had never been extinguished.
He walked to the stove and opened the lower air door. He added a piece of honeycomb briquettes into the stove, and soon the temperature in the room was much warmer.
"The winter in the north is too cold. Next year, we must build a brick bed.”Chen Yong looked at the bed frame in the room and muttered.
He had been living in the south before he transmigrated, so he was really not used to the winter in the north.
Moreover, there was no greenhouse effect, and the weather was much colder than in the future. It snowed in September in Beijing last year, which was impossible in the south. In many places, it was still short-sleeved in October and November.
Coo, coo, coo.
The meager food that she ate at noon had been digested by the afternoon.
Chen Yong rubbed his empty stomach and quickly started to move. He picked up the meat and vegetables he brought back and washed them outside. Then, he started to stew the meat on the stove in the house.
Following the bubbling sound of the clay pot, the fragrance of meat soon began to spread in the courtyard.
"It smells so good. Which family is stewing meat?”
"Which family is so generous? It's already the end of the month, and they actually have money to buy meat to eat? Would the next few days not pass?”
"This smell is too fragrant."
"Mom, I want to eat meat too."
The fragrance wafted through the courtyard, and the people in the courtyard immediately started discussing. Everyone wrinkled their noses and sniffed around, wanting to know whose house this fragrance came from.
One had to know that in this day and age, most families could only barely eat their fill.
Eating meat was something that could only be done extravagantly during festivals or special occasions. Other times, it was absolutely impossible to think about it. After all, most people had a large family and were really powerless.
After asking around, everyone soon found out that Chen Yong had bought meat to celebrate his promotion.
