Chapter 45, Hu Dexiang’s advice
dong dong!
Chen Guohua, who had already eaten his fill, was washing the dishes.
Unexpectedly, his door was knocked again.
Moreover, when he opened the door, he saw the pretty woman Zhao Yuzhi again.
"Comrade Zhao, what's the matter?"
It’s less than an hour before and after, right?
Looking for yourself again? Is it borrowing something? Zhao Yuzhi spoke with some embarrassment and said curiously:
"Guohua, have you eaten?"
"Oh, I've eaten."
"Have you eaten?" She was suddenly surprised, her expression slightly disappointed.
It was originally a tentative question, but I didn't expect that Chen Guohua had already eaten.
Does this mean that he has finished eating the braised pork? As soon as she spoke, she couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and look inside.
The light was dim with a fifteen-watt light bulb, but you could vaguely see the clean square table.
And, the strong smell of meat filled the air, making her swallow her saliva involuntarily.
She still remembered the last time she ate meat.
Chen Guohua nodded with strange eyes, and then saw Zhao Yuzhi asked again awkwardly:
"Have you eaten meat tonight? It's quite delicious. I didn't expect you to be quite good at cooking."
They talked about this for a while, but Chen Guohua was surprised that he had no intention of inviting her into the house.
At this moment, a cry of pain suddenly came from the other side of the corridor.
"Who stepped on the horse and kicked me? Are you looking for death?"
Fang Hongqiang, who fell to the ground, shouted angrily.
"I thought who was sneaking around here, but it turned out to be this kid You."
Hu Dexiang suddenly said: "Tell me, what are you doing squatting here when you have nothing to do? I thought you were going to steal something."
"You're the one stealing things, don't accuse good people wrongly."
The aggrieved Fang Hongqiang covered his butt and asked Hu Dexiang to apologize to him quickly.
Of course the latter did not apologize. After all, he acted bravely and Fang Hongqiang's behavior just now did look like a thief.
The two people's movements attracted many neighbors.
Zhao Yuzhi seemed to already know what was going on, and quickly ran away with a shy face.
Chen Guohua looked at the scene in front of him strangely. It wasn't until an uncle came out to persuade him that Fang Hongqiang returned to the backyard cursing.
This courtyard house is not peaceful either! Looking away, Chen Guohua did not come forward, turned around and closed the door and returned to the house.
Tonight, he could finally sleep peacefully.
The briquettes made the kang very warm, and even the room was very warm.
No thick clothes are needed, just go shirtless.
However, it only took a while for him to wash the dishes and chopsticks and translate the manuscript on the square table.
There was another knock at the door.
The guest who came this time was Hu Dexiang.
"It's Brother Hu, come in quickly."
Chen Guohua was quite enthusiastic about the guest Hu Dexiang.
There is a very obvious difference from the previous Zhao Yuzhi.
"Hey, Guohua, how much coal have you burned? Isn't this too warm?"
As soon as he opened the door, Hu Dexiang was shocked.
The warmth hitting my face is really comfortable.
After entering the door, he also saw the manuscript on the square table, and was even more surprised: "This is a document from your factory? What kind of document is this?"
The manuscript is covered, so only the English on the cover can be seen, and the translated part in Chinese cannot be seen. "Yes, these are some ordinary documents, the ones on them are in English."
Chen Guohua picked up a cup, poured the other party a glass of water, and said with a smile.
Hu Dexiang said thank you and then gave a thumbs up.
The two chatted for a while, and then Hu Dexiang asked about Zhao Yuzhi's visit to Chen Guohua's house just now.
When he learned that Chen Guohua had lent five pieces of briquettes to Zhao Yuzhi, Hu Dexiang immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Guohua, you've been fooled!"
"Oh, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you about this yesterday."
Then, he briefly talked about Zhao Yuzhi.
Zhao Yuzhi is a widow in the backyard. She has four children at home, no parents-in-law, and her husband is gone.
Relying on his good looks, Zhao Yuzhi often flirts with singles such as Hu Dexiang and Fang Hongqiang.
No, even the extremely shrewd Hu Dexiang has been fooled several times.
Even if you say you borrowed something, it doesn't mean you won't return it.
However, Hu Dexiang has not repaid the fifty cents he lent her three years ago.
This is the most terrible place! She never borrows more, but only borrows a dime today, a piece of briquette tomorrow, and half a catty of flour the day after tomorrow.
The size is quite right.
And every time he comes to borrow something, he always looks pitiful.
With his hands clasped together, his coquettish tone, his nearly overcrowded granary, his pitiful and delicate begging expression, which man can bear it? Therefore, over the years, Hu Dexiang has long seen this neighbor clearly.
Originally, Hu Dexiang was planning to tell Chen Guohua about this matter in two days.
Unexpectedly, the latter had all the things at home ready so quickly, and Zhao Yuzhi took advantage of him.
After hearing this, Chen Guohua was stunned on the surface, but sighed slightly in his heart.
If it were in the previous life, how could there be so many things between neighbors?
As long as the music is not too disturbing or otherwise affects one's life, who would know who the neighbor is?
In the 50s, contacts between neighbors were still very frequent.
Chen Guohua, who had just arrived, didn't know what kind of person Zhao Yuzhi was, so he couldn't refuse.
However, his advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.
"Thank you, Brother Hu, I understand."
After Hu Dexiang finished speaking, Chen Guohua said gratefully.
"No, no, no, Guohua, you're fine with everything, you're just too polite."
Hu Dexiang gave up and chatted for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
Watching the other party leave, Chen Guohua was stunned for a while.
Did the other party really just come to him to talk about this? Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it, opened the book and started to translate.
The next day, I slept very comfortably until dawn.
He got up, washed and had breakfast, and then went to work in the accessories factory.
There was nothing major in the morning. He spent most of the morning completing the drawing design of the three-point safety belt.
The remaining technical text description took about another hour and a half.
He finally finished the design just before lunch.
"Guohua, where are you going?"
At the workstation next to him, Jiang Ruolin saw Chen Guohua clearing the desktop, picking up the manuscript paper and preparing to go to the director's office. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "I see you have been writing and drawing all morning. You are very serious. Are you designing something?"
As soon as he spoke like this, Lao Chongguang, Sun Heng, Hu Xingjian and others also cast curious glances.
To be honest, Chen Guohua had only been in the Second Design Department for a few days, and no one expected him to take on important responsibilities.
Unexpectedly, he started working as soon as he came today, very seriously.
Too curly.
