(21) Who is she
For several days, I was in a state of confusion. Although Hu Xiumei lost her humanity and rationality by relying on the Erhu of the City, she was a woman after all. She shouldn't be angry for a moment and was too harsh to attack her. Of course, the most uneasy thing about Secretary Cui. I had countless imaginations about the big "benefactor" mentioned by this father, but I didn't expect that it would be so embarrassed when I met for the first time. I don't know if this matter made my father know, if he could get mad, and since then, he found Lu Yu, the master, and became even more angry and regretful.
At noon that day, the master went out and I sat alone on the earthen sofa reading a book. A bunch of Mao Xiaoli curled her lips and teased insidiously: "What a person is playing with birds? If you follow the hanged ghost, you will learn to hang yourself."
I was too lazy to pay attention to him and pretended not to hear it. Old Master Huang couldn't listen any longer: "What's wrong with me reading a book? It didn't hinder you."
"I hate those people who are pretending to behave the most, a little preservation worker. I thought that if you hold this book, you can give me a look and deceive the little girl in the workshop?" Xiao Li seemed to be even more excited when he saw someone taking it off.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with reading books? Why don't you hold this book to deceive others?" Old Master Huang was a little unhappy and choked with Xiao Li.
"Forget it, what they like to do, what does it have to do with others." Fatty Zhang quickly stood up and made a fuss, "Hey... do you know, why did Hu Xiumei go to Yin Hong?"
"You have said it eighteen times, and our ears are callused." Old Master Huang interrupted him impatiently, "Hu Xiumei went home to give birth, Yin Hong held her seat. Hu Xiumei was not convinced when she came back, so she asked Director Tong to argue. Director Tong disagreed and said that it was arranged by the factory."
"So, do you know why Director Tong didn't agree?" Fatty Zhang suddenly became energetic and quickly took over Master Huang's words and asked proudly.
"What's the reason? Hu Xiumei didn't graduate from elementary school, and she couldn't be a statistician at all. When she was doing statistics, she had calculated the monthly overtime pay for us." Old Master Huang touched his beard and showed a look of contempt on his face.
"Actually, the workshop had wanted to change her for a long time, and this time he happened to catch a chance. Hu Xiumei was ignorant and went to the factory to find my uncle. My uncle said that they could not control this matter, and the workshop had the right to arrange the work arrangement. Hu Xiumei had no choice but to go to Yin Hong to argue on her own, and the two of them started to lose sight of her. Hu Xiumei relied on her two brothers to exclaim her anger, but she didn't expect that she would make trouble in the end." A bunch of Mao Xiaoli inserted it in unwillingly, showing off her news from the top.
"Yin Hong is better than Hu Xiumei. She is not only kind, but also has a good level. At least she has been a high school student, right?" Senior Brother Cai, who never interrupts, also muttered in agreement.
"You naughty kid, your hair is not growing yet, how can you know?" Fatty Zhang saw that no one responded to him, and his face was a little overwhelmed, so he scolded his apprentice, "What Yin Hong is better than Hu Xiumei? It's all superficial remarks. Are you pig's brains?"
"After working on it for a long time, what are you going to say?" Xiao Li teased her neck with her neck.
"Are you really stupid or pretend to be stupid? There are only a few good jobs in the workshop, everyone is looking at it like blood. Each one is arranged by the superiors, and they can't take care of it. Oh... After all, isn't young x more valuable than old x?"
The metaphor of Fatty Zhang's obscene attracted everyone's laughter. I felt nervous, and I remembered Hu Xiumei's cry that night, as if she was stabbed by a knife, and it started to hurt suddenly. Fatty Zhang didn't say nonsense, it had no relationship and no background. It was almost impossible for you to do a good job in the workshop. Why could Yin Hong take over Hu Xiumei's position and become a statistician in the workshop? Is it really so vulgar and unbearable like Fatty Zhang said? Yin Hong, what kind of person is she? Is she really hidden a heart that indulged in lust and promiscuous indulgence under her charming and stunning appearance? She pretended to be innocent and kind to deceive the master and herself? I dare not think about it anymore. An invisible fear made me shudder.
"Hey... Wu Ping, I'll ask you something." Xiao Li said mysteriously, twisting the black hair on his cheek.
I felt a little drowning and my mind was blank. Xiao Li looked at my dull look and came over with salivating face.
"Hey—hey—have you become hysterical?" Xiao Li stretched out his claws and stretched down my sleeves.
"What do you want to do?" I shivered and avoided his hand in disgust.
"What are you thinking? Ask you something." Xiao Li continued to say shamelessly without looking at my face.
"I have nothing to say to you." Since I was teased by them, my inner pain has been hard to calm down.
"How come you are so revenge? Didn't you just make a joke last time? In the end, Liu Juan's money was also paid by Lao Zhang and I." Xiao Li seemed to have suffered a great loss and said disdainfully, "Yesterday, I met Dr. Yang in the factory. He said that when you went to see the injury that day, he touched Yin Hong's big breasts, which was really white and pleasant."
Looking at Xiao Li's appearance as if he was slutty, the anger I had accumulated in my heart suddenly started to burn again: "What are you bullshit? Touch your mother!"
"You... are you crazy? How dare you scold me!" Xiao Li is used to being arrogant on weekdays, but he didn't expect that I would scold him in public, and his nose was almost pissed.
"What's wrong with scolding you? I'm scolding you, what do you want!" I stood up unyieldingly.
"Damn it, you are a successor primary school apprentice, you really want to rebel." Xiao Li suddenly stood up, waved his fist, and rushed towards me in anger.
"I'm fighting with you!" I touched a crowbar and stepped forward to meet him.
"What are you two doing?" Old Master Huang jumped up as he saw something was going to happen and shouted at Fatty Zhang, "Hurry—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Everyone rushed forward and hugged us in anger. Xiao Li was pulled to the door by Fatty Zhang and others. Senior Brother Cai tried his best to grab the crowbar from my hand and pressed me on the earthen sofa.
"This kid is crazy. I haven't seen an apprentice in so many years. I dare to be so arrogant. Bah--" Xiao Lima's face turned pale, gasping for breath, and spat in anger.
"What's wrong with the apprentice? Try to bully me again!" I jumped up again, pointed to the door and roared.
"Everyone calm down and speak well. Xiao Wu, you are the same. I have never seen an apprentice like you." Fatty Zhang turned his face, complained to me, and pulled Xiao Li out of the door in a depressing manner.
The depression that was suppressed in my heart, once I was vented, I was like a dead branch shaking in the autumn wind, and my whole body suddenly fell down. My legs were stuck in place, and I couldn't move for a long time.
"Wu Ping, you guy is so awesome. You have cured a tuft of hair." Senior Brother Xiao Cai lay in my ear, unable to control his excitement and praised:
"The master said, you are afraid of being stunned and afraid of being desperate. If you do not hesitate to work hard, no matter how vicious a person is, you will be afraid of you." I boasted to Senior Brother Xiao Cai with pride.
"You have found a good master, but I'm in trouble. Tonight, Fatty Zhang asked me to help him and get out a plate of No. 8 galvanized wire stole." Senior Brother Xiao Cai said with a bitter look on his face.
"He asked you to steal something?" I was shocked and widened my eyes, "Did you promise him?"
"What should I do if I don't agree? Who told him to be my master?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai shook his head helplessly, saw me fussing, and then continued, "In a big factory like us, who has taken a chance to steal something you need from outside."
Senior Brother Xiao Cai's words shocked me. Before 1953, our Xiawuwa Village was still in southern Shandong. As a hometown of Confucius and Mencius, "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness" is an eternal tradition. Stealing things is more despised by the neighbors than sleeping with the young widows of other families. However, such a tradition no longer exists today.
When I was about to go to work in the afternoon, the master came back excitedly. I didn't say that I almost started fighting with Xiao Li, for fear that he would remove Xiao Li's arm from the rest. The master pulled me out of the security room, pulled out a cold iron rod from the sleeve, and secretly stuffed it into my hand.
"What's this for?" I looked at the master in confusion and asked in confusion.
"You can call the two brothers of the Hu family Erhu, do you think they are fame? We have made enemies with them this time and have to prevent them from revenge. This is what I just went to the machinery workshop to process myself. From now on, you put it in your sleeves for self-defense."
I took the gift from the master gratefully and weighed it in my hand. It was not only exquisite and flexible, but also sharp at both ends, making it easy to thorn, and it is indeed a self-defense weapon.
"Thank you, Master." My heart was filled with warmth.
"Don't you want to practice martial arts? After work tonight, we will go to the canal beach." The master saw my cheerful look and said in a low voice, "I will teach you a set of skills in family planning, Lu's 'twelve-style small grab'."
"Really?" I felt excited and couldn't believe my ears for a moment.
"You must endure hardships when practicing martial arts. Since you have learned it, don't give up halfway. You have to be able to hold it back." The master looked at me with determination.
"I promise!" Amid the deafening sound of the machine in the workshop, I bent down at the master and bowed respectfully.
I followed the master back to the house happily. I was about to pack up my tools and go out to work when the door of the security room was suddenly pushed open.
"May I ask, Lu Yu, is Master Lu here?" A pleasant greeting sounded.
We turned our faces in surprise and saw Yin Hongting standing in front of the door, and everyone in the room was staring at her dazed, stunned.
