Time was like a passer-by who passed by in a hurry, often slipping away without anyone noticing.
In the blink of an eye, sixty-five years had passed.
In this year, the most important thing that happened was the strategic construction of the southwest's third line that was launched in February.
Liu Haizhong's eldest son took advantage of this opportunity to run away with his wife!
Ever since Hua Ma bought a car, he basically rode to work.
Although the rolling mill was not far from the courtyard house, riding a bicycle was still faster.
14th of January, 1966, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Friday. It was also a small year in the lunar calendar!
A small year is usually seen as the beginning of a busy year.
It meant that people began to prepare for the New Year's goods, sweep the dust, sacrifice to the stove, and so on, preparing to have a clean and good New Year.
It expressed the people's wish to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
This day was also the day when the Third Rolling Mill of the Red Star in Beijing closed down.
Therefore, most of the workers in the rolling mill were very happy because this meant that their family could enjoy the new year!
From this day onwards, it meant that the Lunar New Year was not far away. Primary and secondary schools would also start their holidays on this day.
Early in the morning, Ma Hua pushed his bicycle out of his room after washing up.
After all, he didn't want the front wheel of his bicycle to be stolen without him knowing.
Therefore, Ma Hua brought the car into the house the day after he bought it, not giving anyone a chance to take advantage of it!
Ma Hua even pulled Yan Fugui, the victim, along to do this.
This way, no one would restrict their actions.
Ma Hua pushed the bicycle and locked it in front of the fifth canteen. Then, he put the key into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Master Ma!"
……
People kept greeting Ma Hua, and Ma Hua returned the greeting.
Today, Squad Leader Li was a little leisurely. He did his work at a leisurely pace and had the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"Old Li, your condition today is different from usual!”Ma Hua asked curiously.
Old Li glanced at Ma Hua and continued to leisurely reply expressionlessly,"
"Why don't you look at what day it is today?
The factory was closed, so there definitely wouldn't be many people for lunch!”
Although Old Li said so, his hands still moved faster.
However, Ma Hua did not agree and said,"
"It's not like we're getting paid at lunchtime. We'll eat at the right time!
According to previous years, the workers ate the most today!”
When Old Li heard this, he thought about the situation in the past years and immediately frowned.
Then, he started to shout loudly. As he shouted, he said to Ma Hua,
"I'm confused, I'm confused. How could I forget about this? I'll get my salary in the afternoon and spend a lot of money in advance at noon.
People really have bad memories when they get older!”
Ma Hua put on an apron, wiped his hands, grabbed a cabbage, and began to cut it.
"There's still time. There's no need to be too anxious!”Ma Hua lowered his head to comfort her.
When Old Li heard this, he looked at the cabbage and potatoes beside him and said with disdain,
"What do you think the factory is thinking? It's the new year today, and they're giving this to everyone. They're about to throw up after eating it for a year!”
Hearing this, Ma Hua's hands did not stop moving. In the shadow of the knife, he said,"
"Alright, didn't you just improve your diet last week?”
Old Li pursed his lips and complained,
"A canteen that provides for a few hundred people only gets 30 catties of pork. Is this called improving the food?
I know that the pork that the factory got from the meat factory is far more than this.
It was just that a large portion of it was unexpected and had been privately distributed by the higher-ups!”
As he spoke, Old Li released his left hand that was holding the dishes and pointed at the ceiling.
Seeing this, Ma Hua lowered his voice and said,
"Be careful with your words, don't say too much!
Even if this matter was true, it was not planned. It did not take up the factory's distribution quota, so who cared!”
Old Li said disapprovingly,
"I know you're tight-lipped, so I'm just saying this to you!”
Ma Hua couldn't say anything else when he heard that. After all, this was considered a compliment, right?!
Right?
At lunchtime, the long lines were very orderly.
However, every worker who was eating was extremely excited. Almost all the topics of discussion were about the early payment of wages.
However, everyone had their own ideas about the decision to close the factory. It could be said that some people were happy and some were sad.
Some of the workers who had a large population and low wages did not look very happy.
Because they didn't know how they would spend the next year.
After all, they had to buy new year goods for the new year. Such expenses were really unbearable.
However, he had no choice but to buy it, so it was difficult for him to do so. One of the representatives was Qin Huairu's family!
Of course, those workers with higher wages were happy!
They were not worried about their own lives, and most of them were like this.
This was because the middle-level technicians were the backbone of the factory. They earned a lot of money, and their family situation was much better than that of apprentices and first-level workers.
After two o'clock, the kitchen and canteen were cleaned up. Old Li said to everyone,
"Comrades, we don't have much to do in the afternoon. Let's split the people into two groups according to the old rules and collect their salaries. I'll be the last.
Ma Hua, bring the first wave of people over!”
Ma Hua nodded and led half of the people to the property room.
When everyone arrived, Ma Hua found that there were already people from some departments lining up.
Ten minutes later, Ma Hua was the first to get the money. He carefully checked it and put it in his pocket.
When Ma Hua was counting the money, the other colleagues in the cafeteria had a scary look in their eyes. They wanted to replace him!
As the sun set in the west, Ma Hua rode in the afterglow. He got off the car and started walking on the nearby streets.
It couldn't be helped. There was a lot of traffic in the alley.
Most of them were children who were running around with small firecrackers.
The supply and marketing cooperative near Ma Hua's house was called "Laodaokou supply and marketing cooperative", and it was also the dream paradise of the children in the surrounding streets.
These children were all determined to become salespeople in the supply and marketing cooperative in the future. That way, they would have an endless supply of delicious food and fun!
However, the parents were very supportive because their children wanted to be salespeople. That was one of the eight great salespeople!
Around a dozen meters away from the outer wall of the courtyard house, there was a thick ancient tree with intertwined roots.
There were many cracks in the wrinkled bark, which was the ideal place for children to light firecrackers.
When Ma Hua arrived, the children of the neighbors who lived in the same courtyard were playing together. Among them were the three children of the Jia family!
When they got home, Ma Lei ran over and hugged his father's thigh with a fawning expression. He begged,
"Dad, can you give me twenty cents a cent?”
Ma Hua heard this and felt a little strange about this requirement. He asked,"
"Son, what do you want money for? As long as your request is reasonable, I'll give it to you!”
Ma Lei instantly stood up and tugged at Ma Hua's trousers."
"Dad, a hundred lashes of firecrackers from the supply and marketing cooperative cost 21 cents, so can you buy it for me?”
After hearing this, Ma Hua immediately understood.
Looking at his son's eager eyes, he naturally had to agree.
However, Ma Hua was a little worried. He said to Lu Ge, who was leaning against the door and holding his daughter,
"Wife, I'll bring him to the supply and marketing cooperative. If you're hungry, eat first. Don't wait for us!”
"Go ahead, but watch out when our son fires the firecrackers. Don't hurt yourself!”As a mother, Lu Ge was naturally worried.
Ma Hua replied,"
"Don't worry, I'm watching!"
Looking at her husband holding her son's hand, Lu Ge watched quietly at the door.
The father and son's shadows grew longer under the setting sun until Ma Hua's shadow merged with the child's shadow and finally became one...
