January 17th, 1966, Monday, the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.
Today, Ma Hua had to go to work.
It couldn't be helped. The rolling mill's official holiday was almost the eve of the new year, so he still had to go to work.
We look at the bright moon and cry together. One night, the heart of our hometown is the same in five places.
At this moment, Ma Hua couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of his previous life.
But now, he had parents, a wife, and children. He had everything that he could only dream of in his previous life.
Therefore, this kind of sadness only lasted for a moment.
The closer it was to the new year, the more the workers in the factory were worried. They were looking forward to an early holiday.
When Ma Hua appeared in the kitchen, the others were already busy.
With the weather in Beijing, the two-day interval caused the hygiene situation to be worrying.
The kitchen utensils were covered in a thin layer of dust.
Therefore, Ma Hua was now seeing a busy scene!
Ma Hua couldn't just stand by and watch, so he joined in without saying anything.
After the cleaning work was done, a group of chefs sat down to rest.
Meanwhile, the apprentices began to prepare the ingredients that were about to be used.
"What did you prepare for the new year?”Old Li started to ask around.
Ma Hua naturally wouldn't hide anything from him. He wiped the stains on his hands and said,"
"I bought a set of clothes for my wife and child, and even took a family photo!”
When Old Li heard that, he narrowed his eyes and took out his "old friend". He put it in his mouth and lit a match. Then, a wisp of green smoke floated up and said,
" You spent a lot, right?!"
"It's the new year, so these things can't be missed. Otherwise, I always feel like I'm missing something!”Ma Hua voiced his thoughts and shifted his butt in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Old Li rolled his eyes and complained,
"It's just the salary that was paid on Friday. There's not much left after two days.”
Ma Hua nodded in agreement and said,"
"That's right. There are some things that money can't buy!”
Old Li said emotionally,"
"The state's unified purchase and marketing is to ensure that every household can ensure their basic livelihood.
Actually, our lives are already good enough!”
Hua Ma agreed with Old Li's words. Everything that happened today was indeed hard to come by.
After lunch, the canteen staff began to secretly plan how to get home.
It was always like this during the New Year!
However, this situation did not only happen in the canteen, but also in the production workers in the workshop.
However, only a small number of people could really get out.
Only a high-level technician like Yi Zhonghai would have the honor to do so. Otherwise, you might as well try to escape as a normal worker.
Meanwhile, the Hua Nation was not interested in taking advantage of the country. They were just wasting time there.
Moreover, his family did not need to rush to buy those peanuts, melon seeds, and meat that were in high demand.
After finishing the work at hand, he should rest!
When Ma Hua woke up, he realized that there were not many people left in the fifth canteen.
Nearly half of them had disappeared.
Ma Hua looked at the time on the panel, then walked to Old Li's side and asked,"
"Why are all the apprentices left behind?”
Old Li lifted his eyelids but did not open them in the end. He rested his head on his hat and replied,
"Even if the apprentice wants to leave, he has to dare!”
"Old Li, I'll be leaving first too. You watch over me today, I'll take your place tomorrow!”Obviously, Ma Hua couldn't take it anymore.
It was like a domino effect. I was doing fine, but the premise was to prevent a series of collapses.
Therefore, Hua Ma, who had planned to stay in the factory, surrendered.
However, it was not a big problem even if he was discovered. After all, he was a good cook.
Ma Hua's culinary skills had been well-known among the workers in the past few years, and he had also helped the factory gain face.
Riding his bicycle, Ma Hua leisurely made turns in the middle of the wide road.
Fortunately, there were not many private cars on the road in this era. Otherwise, such behavior would be courting death.
After riding for a long time, Ma Hua suddenly noticed a familiar figure bending over in front of him.
When Ma Hua went over, he found Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e, bending over and rubbing her calf.
The two of them looked at each other. Lou Xiao'e instantly smiled and stood up.
"Ma Hua, can you give me a ride?”
"No!" Ma Hua's response was very concise.
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, the smile on her face slowly disappeared. She asked angrily,
"Why? I can give you money!”
Ma Hua was speechless when he heard this. He explained helplessly,"
"With your Xu Damao's personality, if he knows that I'm so close to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself when you go back!”
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she swung her right hand, which was holding a pair of black cloth shoes, and said,
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?”
Ma Hua was attracted by the cloth shoes in her hand. He had some guesses in his heart and asked,
"The shoes in your hand are for Xu Damao?”
Lou Xiao'e looked at the shoes in her hand and said,"
"I bought this for the deaf old lady in the backyard. She said that she wanted to give it to a relative of her family!
He even specified the brand of this pair of shoes.
If I knew that this pair of shoes was so difficult to buy, I wouldn't have agreed!
After walking for such a long distance, his legs hurt!”
Ma Hua heard this and knew that the Deaf Old Lady was already preparing to matchmake Lou Xiao'e and Shazhu.
However, Ma Hua still hadn't thought of what to do.
Should he turn a blind eye and let the plot follow the established trajectory or destroy this ill-fated relationship?
However, considering Lou Xiao'e's character and the fact that she had to travel across the ocean, Ma Hua was more inclined to the latter, so he suggested,"
"The Deaf Old Lady is recognized by the country as a household with five guarantees. Where would she have relatives in Beijing?
And these are men's shoes, I'm afraid…"
Speaking of this, Ma Hua looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Lou Xiao'e, oh Lou Xiao'e, I originally didn't intend to meddle in this matter.
However, since I met you, I don't feel comfortable if I don't care.
Whether or not you can escape this calamity depends on whether you're smart or not!”
Lou Xiao'e looked at Ma Hua's conflicted expression and thought for a while. She seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed,
"Could it be that this pair of shoes is for Silly Zhu?
But why did the old lady insist that I buy it? Could it be that she didn't have enough money?”
Hearing this, Ma Hua almost collapsed.
However, he understood. After all, who would have thought that the Deaf Old Lady would do this?!
Ma Hua didn't answer. That was enough for today. He had to avoid questions that were too shallow.
And he remembered that the Lou family moved to Hong Kong in the summer of 1966.
So there was still time. There was no need to be too anxious!
Therefore, Ma Hua patted the back seat and said to Lou Xiao'e, who was puzzled,"
"Alright, don't think about it. Didn't you want me to give you a ride? Hurry up and get on!”
Lou Xiao'e didn't think too much about it. She sat behind Ma Hua and patted his back."
"I'm sitting still. We can go now!”
Along the way, Lou Xiao'e kept telling Ma Hua about her speculations.
She even said that she wasn't going to give the shoes to Old Lady Long anymore. If she was asked, she would say that they were out of stock!
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e appeared to be very proud.
However, Lou Xiao'e was also amazed by Ma Hua's physical strength, and said that Xu Damao couldn't even cross two miles with her.
Ma Hua had a strange feeling when he heard this, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
The setting sun swirled around the clouds, and the two figures gradually drifted away…
