(41) The pockmarked face in the reading room
Just after the summer solstice, a continuous drizzle came unexpectedly. When the light rain stopped, the sky brightened, and the sun emerged, the temperature rose rapidly. However, contrary to the sunny and vibrant season in front of me, my mood plummeted, filled with an indescribable melancholy and bitterness.
I felt faceless in front of Yin Hong. The slap that night not only woke me up, but also made me feel ashamed, painful and regretful. For several days, I repeatedly asked myself in my mind why I had to be drunk and hurt a woman who cared for me, just because I witnessed her personal relationship? I disliked her reputation? These are, but not all, on the surface, but I could not agree with it in my heart. After thinking hard and denying it, I timidly discovered that all my anger towards Yin Hong was all derived from inner obsession, inferiority and jealousy. I like this beautiful and stunning woman. Under the vigorous youth passion, the pain that cannot be expressed is like a seed without land dependence, growing terrible deformed vines, which has caused this unreasonable behavior.
When I went to work during the day, I had an electrician bag hanging from my back and forth in the workshop, and welcomed all kinds of envious, pleasing, ambiguous, and jealous eyes. However, after get off work, when I took off the glossiness in the workshop, I became a homeless wild mouse. If it was okay to go to the middle and evening shifts, I could miss the time to meet Yin Hong. If it happened to be on the morning shift, I had to come out early. After get off work, I went to the canal beach outside the city to practice fists and feet alone, wrapped in sweat, wandering around aimlessly until the moon was high and the stars were sparse, and then slipped back to the guesthouse.
That day, I arrived at the workshop early in the morning. Master Liu arranged for me and Senior Brother Xiao Wang to send a burnt motor to the electromechanical workshop for repair. We pulled the motor out of the workshop with a tricycle and came to the electromechanical workshop in the southeast corner. After completing the repair procedures, I was about to walk back, and unexpectedly found that behind the electromechanical workshop, there was a row of low brick-made tiled houses, and the door of one of them had the words "reading room" written in red paint. Since I left the master, I have lost the source of reading, and I have been unable to continue reading. I have not read for a long time.
"What's this place?" I asked, pointing to the room.
"I don't know, I've never been here." Senior Brother Xiao Wang shook his head indifferently.
I was a little excited for a moment, put down the car I was pushing in, walked over and lie on the glass window and looked inside, and saw rows of books and various newspapers and magazines placed on the gray bookshelf inside.
"You can read books here." This unexpected discovery surprised me very much.
"Let's go quickly. I'm tired all day long. Whoever has the time to read books is worse than going to watch movies, and it's not a good idea." Senior Brother Xiao Wang urged impatiently.
I carefully looked at the opening hours written on the door, which were from 5 pm to 10 pm every day. After get off work that day, I hurriedly finished my shower and tried to come here. I saw that the reading room was really lighted up. When I pushed the door open, there was only a woman with a shallow face, sitting behind a desk in front of the door, boredly wearing a water-red sweater.
"Where did you come from?" Ma Fang raised her head and glanced at me alertly.
"I am from the former spinning and electrician class. Can I read books here?" I asked a little guiltyly.
"The former spinning and electrician class... Why haven't I seen you before?" Mamao stared at triangular eyes, still relentlessly.
"I've only been taking over for half a year," I quickly explained.
"Do you have a work permit?" Ma Fang pointed to the "Reading Regulations" on the wall, and said in an official tone.
"Yes, but I didn't bring it." I felt a little complaining in my heart. Who comes to work every day and brings a work permit.
After hearing what I said, Mabang seemed to be interested all of a sudden. She put down the sweater in her hand and almost interrogated the eighth generation of my ancestors and various social relations like interrogating a prisoner.
"Forget it today, I must bring my work permit next time." Mabang finally lit up his head and put me in.
The reading room is not big, deserted, surrounded by rows of bookshelves, with the moldy sour and rotten smell of paper floating. Ma Fang is the only administrator here, I was the only reader that night. Maybe I was lonely and bored for a long time, and I was in the menopause of women. After Ma Fang is a little familiar with me, just like Xiao Changbao in "Taking Tiger Mountain to the Strategy" met his relatives, the People's Liberation Army, and he talked endlessly throughout the night. From her endless talk, I have a certain understanding of her life experience.
I understand that this is a widowed woman who has lost her husband. My father-in-law is an old cadre from Suzhong. She was persecuted to death in the turmoil. After her husband was rehabilitated, she transferred to our yarn mill from a collective ginning factory and took care of such boring and leisurely work. I was extremely upset, but I still pretended to be enthusiastic about answering her various strange questions, and hurriedly flipping through several books of "People's Pictorial" and "People's Pictorial".
"It's time tonight, we're going to close the door." Mabang looked at the wall clock on the wall and began to clean up the wool in his hand.
"Don't it end at 10 o'clock? It's not until 9:30 yet." I also looked at the wall clock and said in confusion.
"I come to work every night, just for you readers. You should understand my hard work." Mapan heard my complaint and said unhappily.
"Can I borrow this book to go back?" I stood up and asked.
"The books in the reading room are not borrowed, they can only be read here." Ma Fang replied unquestionably.
I was unhappy and closed the book helplessly. Just as I was about to leave, the door of the reading room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure like a knife mantis walked in.
"Oh - Sister Sha, you haven't left yet, I'll return the book. In addition, I'll get the hemorrhoid cream you want." The veterinarian who had not seen him for many days under the light raised his blue-gray face and placed two hemorrhoid cream and a few colorful magazines in front of the pockmarked face.
"Oh, thank you." Ma Fang smiled and put the hemorrhoid cream into the bag containing the wool, and then opened the drawer on the table in front of her face, "Here... I've only been here today. I'll keep it for you. If you know you like to watch beautiful girls."
"Oh... It's great. Who is on the cover? It's so white, my whole eyebrows and eyes are as bright as the bright red in our factory." The veterinarian stroked Chen Chong's face on the cover in a lewd manner.
"By the way, how are you doing with Yin Hong?" Ma Fang seemed to be very familiar with the veterinarian. Her question surprised me.
"Oh... don't mention it. Two nights ago, I intercepted her at the factory gate and pestered her all night. She said she had an appointment with someone and didn't let her go. However, she just didn't let her go and didn't say anything. She didn't agree to discuss with me." The veterinarian's eyebrows were hung up and he said angrily.
"A woman like this is a slut. She has a little beauty and her eyes are facing up. If you really kill her, she will lose her temper. The key is that you have to do it, just like my old king was treating me back then." The face giggled, and the shallow pit was shining with a purple luster.
"Just, what's so great? I've wanted to start a long time ago, but... she went to the Cultural Center for rehearsal after work. Lu Yu from the factory was watching him if he had something to do, and there was no good chance." The veterinarian's eyes, which were already very close to each other, were squeezed together because of anger.
"I don't believe that there is no such opportunity. You are still not interested in it. Such a beautiful woman, it would be too late if you don't take action." Mabang deliberately curled his lips and aroused the veterinarian.
"That's right, I've done her in the past two days, and I see if she never follows." The veterinarian said angrily, angrily.
When I returned to the guesthouse, the courtyard was quiet and Yin Hong went to rehearse and had not come back yet. I quickly returned to the distribution room, took the basin, tooth tank, and washed up by the water table. I was thinking about the conversation between the veterinarian and the veterinarian. It seemed that Yin Hong didn't go to eat that day, but was entangled by the veterinarian. Today, from the veterinarian's statement, he was determined to continue to pester Yin Hong. I had to try to tell the master about this and let him deal with this despicable veterinarian.
