Because Team Leader Xia said that I would only schedule a shift for me next week, there were still two or three days to rest. I originally planned to go home, but I thought that the Spring Festival would be over 20 days left, so it was a bit unworthy to go back now.

I slept well that night. After getting up the next morning, I washed all my clothes and bed sheets, and cleaned the small courtyard of the guesthouse that had not been cleaned for many days. At noon, I was hanging noodles in the distribution room when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the front yard. I didn't know what happened, so I ran over and opened the door and saw that it was a pretty female worker in her early thirties.

"Hello, Master, I'm here to live here. This is the factory's procedures." The female worker handed me a notice in her hand.

I read the notice and the female worker in front of me was named Lu, who was a driving blocker in the cylindrical workshop. The reason for staying here was because her husband took a family leave. Then I suddenly realized that the Spring Festival was coming.

"Sister Lu, please come in quickly. I'll go and open a room for you now." I was full of sympathy for these female workers who had no housing and could only meet once a year.

"Master, thank you." The female worker named Lu said gratefully.

"Sister Lu, just call me Xiao Wu." I quickly turned around and walked towards the backyard.

I took the key to the room in the small building from behind the distribution room door, sought Sister Lu's advice, and opened the door of the room on the east side downstairs. Sister Lu said that she would bring her husband and children immediately, and I said she would go and cook a pot of hot water for them. Sister Lu expressed her gratitude repeatedly.

When I returned to the front yard with a pot of boiled hot water, Sister Lu's family was already cleaning the room. Sister Lu's husband was a soldier, tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and very mighty. Their son was a boy of four or five years old. He might have been tied up in the collective dormitory for a long time, and he was jumping around the steps in front of the building with joy.

"Hello, Master Xiao Wu, we are a family, and my surname is Wu." A tall soldier saw me and walked up to salute him.

"Hello, Wu...Brother Wu, this is the hot water for you." I was a little nervous for a moment and didn't know what to call him, so I finally called him "Brother".

"We're here to cause trouble for you." Brother Wu mentioned the kettle and said politely.

"What trouble is it? It's so difficult for your family to reunite once a year. If you have any needs here, just tell me." I responded sincerely.

I later learned that Brother Wu's troops were conducting missile tests in the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang, and the conditions were very difficult. Although he was already a company-level cadre and his family had met the standards of accompanying the army, Sister Lu and his children could not get through.

In the afternoon of the same day, another family came. The female worker was from our former spinning workshop. Her husband was also a soldier. She guarded the border on an island in the outpost of the East China Sea. I ran and helped them. These simple female workers and their soldiers were very grateful and gave me some local products they brought. I wanted to refuse but couldn't refuse. I felt very warm in my heart.

When I was about to get off work in the evening, I took two soldiers and elder brothers to the factory for a bath. Because the factory has regulations, outsiders generally cannot come to the factory for a bath, so I need to explain the special situation here to the administrator. The bathroom administrator is usually very cluttered, but this time I didn't say anything about the second job, so the three of us were allowed to go in. Everyone sympathized with these couples who were separated from each other.

We took off our clothes and went down to the big pool. People from Changbaishi rushed in. I greeted each other with my colleagues in the security class, and I felt very kind for a moment.

"Wu Ping, I heard Li Qin say you are back yesterday and I was thinking about going to find you." Senior Brother Xiao Cai got off the big pool and walked to me whirringly.

"What's the matter with me?" Actually, I was thinking about finding him.

"I was discussing with Li Qin about getting married this year's May Day. After the Spring Festival, I have to invite you to my house and help me clean up the wires, switches, plugs and lamps in my room again." Senior Brother Xiao Cai said happily.

"This is no problem, it's a great thing. Why didn't Li Qin tell me yesterday?" I was a little confused for a moment and couldn't help asking casually.

"She is still a little unwilling to accept it. She thinks that our family lives too crowded." Senior Brother Xiao Cai's expression became a little dim.

"I heard Li Qin talk about this yesterday and advised her." I pointed to the two soldiers outside the big pool who were rubbing each other's backs. "Look at these big brothers, they worked hard outside and worked hard. They came back every year and didn't even have a stable home. Compared with them, you should be too happy."

"Li Qin is just a little arrogant. She always compares my family with the Zhao family next door. Sometimes I feel upset about the Zhao family." Senior Brother Cai complained softly.

"This should not be a bit arrogant, but rather a little vain. Women may have minor problems in this regard. Let's be more tolerant." I quickly comforted Senior Brother Xiao Cai.

"You go to my place to have dinner tomorrow night. My parents have been talking about you recently. You can help me persuade Li Qin again." Senior Brother Cai invited me with a sincere look.

"Do you know how Yin Hong is doing recently?" I did not agree to Senior Brother Xiao Cai, but asked Yin Hong. Since I came back yesterday, I have been wanting to know her situation.

"They are getting married and having children, but you can't let it go?" Senior Brother Cai pursed his lips and smiled secretly.

"What are you talking nonsense? I met the master in the city, and he asked me to inquire." I didn't want him to see what he was thinking, so I pulled the master out.

"Why... have you seen Lu Yu?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai asked in surprise.

"We are masters and apprentices. I have been to the city for more than half a year, so of course I have to meet." Senior Brother Xiao Cai's words made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Is he still thinking about Yin Hong? Then why did he abandon him?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai said angrily.

"I have never been in a relationship, you should know better than me. There must be various reasons for breaking up. Who can explain it clearly?" I felt a little nervous, but I was still exposing my master.

"Anyway, I think Lu Yu is doing too inauthentic. I used to respect him very much, but this matter..." Senior Brother Xiao Cai replied awkwardly.

"Let's not talk about my master, let's talk about Yin Hong. How is she doing now?" I interrupted Senior Brother Xiao Cai.

"She has given birth to a child, and now it may be full moon. I have heard the cry of the child several times at night." Senior Brother Cai replied thoughtfully.

"Is it a boy or a girl? Is his lover back?" I asked urgently.

"This..." Senior Brother Xiao Cai glanced at me and pondered for a moment, "Because the Zhao family's deep courtyard does not usually interact with us, I don't know the specific situation. I don't seem to have seen his lover. It should be an old lady taking care of her during confinement. I have met her several times in the alley. Her eyebrows and eyes look very similar to Yin Hong, and she should be her mother."

It seems that only Senior Brother Xiao Cai knows. I stood up from the big pool and said to him without any hesitation: "We'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow night."

The two soldiers' elder brothers called me from above, and I quickly responded, climbed out of the big pool, and followed them to the shower.

When I was washing my hair with soap, someone came to my ear and muttered in a low voice: "Is the guesthouse lively now? Don't make it hard to sleep even if you are sleeping."

I quickly wiped the water from my face, opened my eyes, and saw Fatty Zhang staring at me with a tinge, and my anger suddenly came to my mind: "I will be able to reunite once a year for us. Can you stop talking about these bastards again, okay?"

Fatty Zhang asked for something boring. Seeing me raising my eyes, he turned around and left with a humming voice: "How come you learn like Lu Yu, you have no meaning at all."

I ignored him and quickly finished washing. I called two big brothers to put on my clothes together and left the crowded bathroom.

That night, I went to watch "Love in Lushan" alone. It was indeed very beautiful. It was not only a beautiful scenery, but also a loyal love between the male and female hostess. Many years later, I went to Lushan for official business, and once again watched the film in the mountain theater. I visited Lushan again according to the scenery in the movie. Guo Kaimin played the male lead, and he looked a bit like the master in terms of eyebrows and eyes to body. However, Zhang Yu played the female lead, although he changed so many sets of clothes, he was still not as handsome and charming as Sister Hong.

The ringtone rang and the video ended. I stood up and walked out. Among the crowd that ended, someone patted me hard. Xiao Meihua leaned her waist and her annoyed eyes widened: "Didn't you say you went back to the countryside today? Why did you lie to me!"

I blushed for a moment, and my mind suddenly changed: "I was going to leave, but... but the guest at the guesthouse came today. I had to help with the reception and clean it, so I didn't leave."

"Are you an electrician or a guesthouse administrator?" Xiao Meihua asked relentlessly.

"You also know that there is no administrator at the guesthouse now because I live there, and the factory office asks me to help manage it. How can I not agree?" I replied deliberately.

"Okay, I'll watch the movie with me tomorrow." Xiao Meihua saw me feeling guilty and laughed out loud.

"You still want to see?" I cried in my heart and couldn't help but responded, "Okay, okay, tomorrow I will definitely come to you as long as I have time."

After saying this, I quickly ran out of the cinema. Xiao Meihua shouted something from behind, but I pretended not to hear it again.
