As the ice and snow melt on the earth, the lingering sound of winter approached the end, and the footsteps of spring began to approach quietly. On the warm and cold days, the sun began to warm and the wind became gentle. When I went to the bathroom to take a shower after get off work, the whistle of a small steamer in the distance came from outside the south wall from time to time. The transport ships that stopped sailing on the Grand Canal became busy again.

The guesthouse has been empty, and my life is still the same, but the atmosphere in the factory has changed a little. People are talking privately that the factory owner Lao Hou and his group are planning a major change, which is called adapting to the trend of the times and implementing a modern enterprise system. I just watched the movie "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" a few days ago. I was inspired and excited for reforms, and I was full of desire and enthusiasm for congratulations and enthusiasm. But what kind of thing would Lao Hou have created? Since I inquired about the story told by Master Liu, I always have lingering fears about this Nanman with a worried character.

I went to morning shift that day. After lunch, I just returned to the distribution duty room. Xiao Meihua on her forehead came to me, which surprised me a little.

"Wu Ping, I have something to ask you for help, please help me." Xiao Meihua's face turned red, maybe because she was anxious, her forehead became brighter.

"What are you talking about? As long as I can help." I quickly stood up.

"It's our family's business." Xiao Meihua looked at me and said with a little urgent need, "Didn't the family contract the household? A few days ago, a survey team went to my house to investigate and said there was a gypsum mine underground. After the New Year, the village found a rich man to contract and said that it was going to start mines in my house. My father and his family disagreed, so they found some gangsters in the society. A few days ago, they shoveled the wheat that had already returned to the green, and even injured my father."

After listening to Xiao Meihua's narration, I felt a little nervous. This kind of thing is very common in rural areas. Although it is very annoying, there is no way: "What can I help you?"

"Don't you know people from above? Please tell us something to prevent the villagers from bullying them anymore and arresting the scoundrels who beat people."

"I am just a little worker like you. Who can I know from above?" I was funny. She was really anxious to worship the wrong temple gate.

"Didn't you have a third grandfather who is a high-ranking official in the province? Besides, your master Lu Yu is also a cadre in the city now. Please help me and find them. I will never forget your favor." Xiao Meihua's eyes were full of expectations.

"Who did you hear this? My third master has been paralyzed long ago. Besides, I have never seen him before. What can I do for you? Lu Yu is my master, but this matter..." I remembered that when Xiao Cai had an accident, I went to find the master. His attitude of refusing was suddenly lost.

"Your third grandfather is not good, you can find your master." Xiao Meihua quickly followed my words.

"This... my master is from the Youth League Committee and has no power. He may not be able to help you. Besides... we have not contacted him since he was beaten, so..." I didn't dare to look into her eyes, and turned my eyes a little guiltily.

Xiao Meihua left disappointed and looked at her helpless eyes. I felt indescribable in my heart, as if I had done something very embarrassing.

After work in the afternoon, I didn't go back immediately after taking a shower. Instead, I went to the long-lost reading room. While reading recent books and magazines, while listening to the clamor, Senior Brother Xiao Cai suddenly found this place.

"Wu Ping, I have something to ask you for." Senior Brother Xiao Cai waved to me at the door.

Today is really interesting. Why do people always ask me for something? I thought about it in my mind and followed Senior Brother Xiao Cai out of the door and stood under the roof of the reading room: "What's the matter? You're so nervous."

"Wu Ping, I beg you for this matter, you have to help me." Senior Brother Xiao Cai said to me with a bitter look on his face.

"What happened? This bastard Zhao Wu is not honest, and he is still trying to make things difficult for you?" I looked at Senior Brother Xiao Cai, a little puzzled for a moment.

"It's not Zhao Wu's business, it's... it's our business..." Senior Brother Xiao Cai said hesitantly.

"You...what do you have to do with you? Li Qin won't talk to you. Do you want to brag with you?" His stupid answer made me even more puzzled.

"No, it's..." Senior Brother Xiao Cai's face turned red, and when I asked him, he became even more stuttering.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you feel better? If you don't want to say it, I'll go back to read a book." I turned around and wanted to leave, and Senior Brother Xiao Cai grabbed me.

"Li Qin...she...is she pregnant?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai finally said what he was holding back.

"Pregnant? Li Qin..." Senior Brother Xiao Cai's words made me feel a little at a loss for a moment, "Where... is it yours?"

"Nonsense? Of course it's mine." Senior Brother Xiao Cai glanced at me dissatisfiedly.

"Li Qin is pregnant, what's the use of asking me for? What kind of examination do you want to do? Should you go to the factory hospital to find Veterinarian Yang?" I couldn't help but tease him when I saw his face holding it like a purple eggplant.

"Brother Wu Ping, stop kidding, I'm almost worried. You said we have not gotten married and got a marriage certificate, and there is no fertility indicator. If the factory knows that pregnancy is not married, it will be enough for both of us to be fired just by violating the family planning."

"Why... you guys are getting married quickly." I felt a little scared in my heart, and suddenly remembered the desperate look of Yin Hong vomiting constantly after her master left.

"I would have been able to get married?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai almost cried and said with a sad look on his face. "We are in love, and Li Qin's family has always been unwilling to do so. She thinks that our family is poor and thinks that I am a small worker. Her mother has asked someone to tell her the son of a deputy county magistrate and is forcing her to agree."

"You have cooked rice, don't hide it anymore. Is it just right for Li Qin's mother and the son of the deputy county magistrate to give up?" I encouraged him impulsively.

"You said it lightly. Without her mother's consent, she couldn't even get the household registration book at home, let alone go to the factory to issue a marriage certificate. What's the point of getting married?" Tears were already rolling in Senior Brother Xiao Cai's eyes and almost flowing out.

Looking at the pain of Senior Brother Xiao Cai, I realized the seriousness of the problem. When I remembered Ergoudan’s theory about marrying a foreign daughter-in-law, I thought of Yin Hong and his master, I suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness. It was the 1980s. What the hell is this? In fact, my anger was not only naive but also naive. More than 30 years have passed. Today, "sex" is no longer a luxury for everyone, but real marriage is still not a simple thing for the poor. Not to mention the sky-high housing in the city, even the increasingly high bride price in the countryside makes it difficult for many lovers to get married. When I was typing this line of text, a tragic message jumped out. Due to the bride price dispute in the Central Plains, the groom killed the bride on the wedding night and surrendered himself tragically.

"What should I do? What can I help you?" I didn't know how to comfort Senior Brother Xiao Cai, and asked in panic.

"Is there any way now? I can only... I can only let Li Qin have a miscarriage first. Let's talk about what's going on later." Senior Brother Cai hunched over and sighed.

"Where...what is it for you to look for me?" I was even more confused.

"Don't you know Yin Hong? She has a good relationship with her. She is now working in a county hospital. Please help me ask her for help, okay?"

"This..." I was a little speechless for a moment, and my heart was churning.

"Wu Ping, please, I'm really helpless." Senior Brother Xiao Cai looked at me with a begging look.

"Okay, I'll try it." I nodded helplessly.

"Thank you. Good brother, after passing this level, I'll invite you to the Hongwei Hotel for a drink."

Senior Brother Xiao Cai left in one breath, but my heart suddenly became entangled. When I returned to the reading room, I saw that the mao face was busy moving his ears away from the window. This fucking girl was obviously eavesdropping on our conversation. I frowned and looked at her unhappy.

"Hey... You young people are so shameless now. They have a big belly before getting married, and they have the face to talk about it everywhere. This lifestyle problem would be good if we didn't fire you at that time." Mabang obviously didn't pay attention to my expression, and was still talking to myself.

"Who said they don't want to get married?" Seeing the arrogant look, the anger in my heart could no longer be controlled and suddenly burst out, "Why can't a man and a woman with affectionateness finally get married? I think some people just eat carrots and worry about it!"

Her numb face was half open, like a chicken butt that had not been closed. She obviously didn't expect me, who was always respectful and polite, would suddenly question her like this: "Xiao Wu, you...what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" I looked straight into the dark eyes of Mama and continued to start a furious storm, "This bastard environment has fucked everyone's affairs!"

"Xiao Wu, why have you... become a hooligan?" Mama's face was congested, and the deep and shallow pit points instantly turned a little red and purple, "You... don't want to borrow books anymore?"

The threat of the stingy face made me extremely angry. I stood up and shouted at her: "Borrow books, borrow books, is this reading room open to your home? Do whatever you want? When you read the book, what is the use of reading it again!"

I threw the magazine in my hand onto the table and brushed my sleeves away in the shocked gaze of my face.
