Small Shop Owner in the 1960s - Chapter 115

It is scheduled to go to the provincial capital at the end of December, which is also the day before New Year’s Day. The location is the auditorium in the province. I heard that it used to be a theater, but it was later converted into an auditorium. Usually there are activities in the province, which are held there.

Except for Xu Nannan and the people in the procurement department, it is difficult for the other workers in the mine to go to the provincial capital once, and this time to participate in the performance, they are all very excited.

Xu Nannan didn’t go with the large army, but went to the provincial capital one day in advance and found a guest house to live in.

After lunch, I went to see Wei Xiaodong.

I don’t know if it was because it hadn’t been here for a while, Xu Nannan found that there were many more people in military uniforms on the streets of the provincial capital. Seeing these people coming and going, Xu Nannan always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Because of the extra people, Xu Nannan was more cautious when going to Wei Xiaodong’s house this time, and spent a lot of time on the road.

Before arriving at Wei Xiaodong’s house, he heard the trembling cry.

Xu Nannan saw that it was from Wei Xiaodong’s house, and there were many neighbors around the door. They were all pointing there, no one dared to go in.

Xu Nannan walked into the crowd and looked into the room, only to see an old lady lying on the ground crying, with blood stains on her forehead. I didn’t see Wei Xiaodong’s people either.

“What’s wrong with this?” Xu Nannan asked in shock.

“You are a sinner. It is said that Xiaodong was reported to have hidden capitalist things and Xiaodong was taken away. His grandmother was in a hurry and fell. No one dared to care about this.”

Xu Nannan’s heart jumped heavily. Could it be that Wei Xiaodong helped him buy things and was arrested in the end?

Even though it was a matter of both money and money, Xu Nannan still felt a little guilty in his heart. Especially watching Wei Xiaodong’s grandma crying on the ground alone, the feeling in my heart became stronger, and I couldn’t control that much, so I ran into the house and helped Grandma Wei sit up.

“Mother, I will take you to the hospital.”

Can’t let the old man just bleed to death like that.

Grandma Wei cried, “Xiaodong, what’s wrong with our Xiaodong?”

“Xiaodong is okay, you go to the hospital first, and Xiaodong will be back later.” Xu Nannan hurriedly persuaded. He held Granny Wei with her hand.

Grandma Wei just got up from the ground now, her eyes were bad, and she couldn’t see what Xu Nannan looked like, but she knew she was a stranger.

When the neighbors outside saw a little girl they didn’t know, they all went to help. Someone also went to help find a cart and send Grandma Wei to the hospital.

In the hospital, the doctor helped bandage the wound on his head and arranged to be hospitalized. The old man’s health is not very good, and he shed a lot of blood, and his body is very weak, so he has to stay in the hospital.

The medical expenses plus hospitalization fees are quite a lot, and the neighbors don’t have much money. Xu Nannan had no choice but to help and pay the money. When I got here, the neighbors all left.

Grandma Wei leaned on the bed and shed tears, “We, the old Wei family, helped people with their work, so we became capitalists.”

Xu Nannan said, “Old lady, what happened to Wei Xiaodong?”

“I don’t know, a few people came to the house and said they had something in the house. They took Xiaodong away and made a mess of the house, but there was nothing in the house.”

Xu Nannan also found it strange. Wei Xiaodong obviously hid things outside. How could the reporter report the things hidden in his house?

Now Wei Xiaodong is in an accident, maybe because of her, grandma Wei is lying in the hospital again, Xu Nannan’s head is noisy.

It was getting dark in the afternoon, and Xu Nannan paid the hospital fees for the hospital, and left food stamps in the hospital cafeteria, and asked the nurse to help deliver the food before leaving the hospital.

She was restless along the way.

Wei Xiaodong is a cautious person. Those things were also secretly intercepted in the recycle bin. The ugly thing is that they are some scraps of copper and iron, so they were reported.

Thinking about the green uniforms seen on the street again, Xu Nannan thought about the future.

Is it possible that this is a sign that something is about to happen?

If I didn’t sleep well all night, Xu Nannan was not very energetic the next day. But there are performances on the other side of the theater, and she can’t be absent. She just put on a big padded jacket and washed her face with cold water, which made her sober.

Because the next day is New Year’s Day, there is already a festive atmosphere on the streets of Huizi. Xu Nannan hurriedly ate early and went directly to the Grand Theater. She was going to look for Lin Qingbai to see if there was anything to do with the provincial capital after the performance was over, and to figure out Wei Xiaodong’s affairs.

She came earlier, and the people from Nanjiang Iron Mine hadn’t arrived yet, but found that there were many people guarding the entrance of the auditorium. Wearing military uniform and carrying a gun.

The army’s jeep was parked at the door, and there should be a big leader coming over.

Just as Xu Nannan was about to get in with his work card, a car stopped at the door, and a man and a woman got out of it. The man is in his thirties, wears glasses, and has a 37-point head. The woman has a delicate figure and a delicate appearance.

Seeing that woman, Xu Nannan was stunned. If I remember correctly, that woman is Wei Xiaodong’s object. Last time in the cinema, the girl was combing the princess’s head and wearing small leather shoes. Wei Xiaodong was very attentive to her. Why is it changed now? Did they break up with Wei Xiaodong?

It seemed that someone was watching, and both of them looked at Xu Nannan.

The eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly lit up, and Wei Xiaodong’s object pulled him, before he withdrew his gaze. When the two entered the gate, Wei Xiaodong’s girlfriend stared at Xu Nannan fiercely.

Xu Nannan felt very bad for these two people. Seeing that they had gone in, he didn’t rush in, so he stood outside and waited.

Slowly, representatives of performances from various units came over one after another. There are cotton factories, textile factories, machinery factories… all the people who are beaming are all wearing work uniforms, holding banners, and wearing red flowers on their bodies.

Affected by the atmosphere of these people, Xu Nannan’s mood is better than just before. After a while, the workers from Nanjiang Iron Mine finally came over.

The cart that pulled the ore from the mine that the head of mine directly looked for was pulled over as soon as the cart came. Before we got to the place, we all started to sing. You can hear everyone singing from far away.

Seeing someone he was familiar with, Xu Nannan’s heart also settled, and he hurried over.

“Nannan.” Zhu Fang got out of the car with a smile, held the banner in his hand to other people, and came over to take Xu Nannan’s hand.

“It’s so cold, why don’t you go in and wait. Anyway, you have to go in then.”

Xu Nannan doesn’t want to say that because there are two inexplicable people inside, “I want to be with you.”

“Okay, let’s go in together. Our Nanjiang Iron Mine is also a large unit in the province. Let people see our prestige.” Zhu Fang looked at the iron mine comrades with a smile.

Xu Nannan saw that the comrades workers straightened their backs with imposing prestige, and lined up with the sign of the unit.

She also dragged Zhu Fang into the line, followed by queuing into the auditorium.

Many people had been sitting inside, most of them were workers from local units in the provincial capitals. Xu Nannan heard Zhu Fang’s words before knowing that there were also people from the provincial military region today, as well as leaders from the province and the leaders of the provincial and city labor unions.

“Has your object come today?”

“Here, I should sit outside.” Lin Qingbai said he would come.

Zhu Fang said, “I’ll go down and see where your partner is. You have to watch carefully, so that lesbians from other units don’t get hooked. You don’t know. Every time in previous years, many lesbians who came on stage were caught by other lesbians. The unit has taken a fancy to it, and it has contributed to a lot of pairs. Some of them still have targets, but they are flabbergasted.”

Who made every unit come to the performance to be handsome men and beautiful women, so many people below are lost when they stand on the stage.

Xu Nannan did not feel worried after hearing this. She trusts Lin Qingbai 100%. In an environment like Lin Qingbai, would you still see beautiful women? I haven’t been hooked away for so many years, and I’ve been hooked away if there is no reason to deal with her.

The two spoke for a while, and Zhu Fang followed Li Weiming out.

The others in the backstage have already begun to perform. Because of the large number of people, the auditorium is a temporary shed built on the open space outside the auditorium as a lounge, and by the way make-up.

If you say it is makeup, it is actually combing your hair, wearing some flowers on your head, and it doesn’t change much in normal times. As for applying powder to the face, this is not a requirement. There are some beauty-loving lesbians who brought their own cosmetics.

Xu Meizi didn’t know where she got the blush and lipstick. It looks a bit more mature than the actual age.

Xu Nannan glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze, feeling that Xu Meizi and Liu Qiao looked more and more alike.

The performance in the auditorium soon began, and the sound could be heard when sitting in the lounge.

Sister Liu ran out and slid around, and came back to talk vividly about the scene in the auditorium.

The auditorium was full of people, and many leaders came. The big leaders from the province she had seen who came to inspect the mine also came.

The workers mentioned are beginning to get nervous.

The most calm is Xu Nannan’s chorus. I saw that the people standing on the left and right were all my own, and I would not stand out when I stood in the team, but I didn’t worry about the leader seeing whether he could sing well or not.

After waiting for almost an hour, it was the turn of the show on Nanjiang Iron Mine. A total of four shows, Xu Nannan’s chorus was left behind.

Xu Nannan knew that a show lasted six or seven minutes at most, and it was less than half an hour before their turn. When the first show started, Xu Nannan would shape up the team.

She stood in front of the team and commanded, and went through the training as usual.

Just after it was passed, it was arranged to be on stage.

The host in military uniform reported on the program, “Now, please enjoy the chorus of representatives of Nanjiang Iron Mine workers-My Motherland.”

Xu Nannan took everyone to the stage. I don’t know if it was because of nervousness, Xu Nannan found out that the same hands and feet appeared in the team. Fortunately, not far from the stage, Xu Nannan stood in front of the command and quickly arranged the team.

As the music sounded, Xu Nannan said the first sentence, and the others sang along. Maybe I knew that when I officially came to the stage, the workers broke out, and the chorus sounded louder in the entire hall.

“Is this your object?”

In the audience, a middle-aged man in military uniform sitting beside Lin Qingbai said.

This man has a long national character face, dark, and looks righteous. At this moment, he is looking at Lin Qingbai with a wretched expression, “You tell me you want to be shameless, and when you are old, I will find such a young girl. You are ashamed.”

Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan with good eyes, and didn’t even give a look to the man next to him, “If you have the ability, you can find a district. If you can’t find it, don’t look jealous here.”

“I’m jealous? I’m dedicated to serving the motherland.” Zhang Lei looked at Lin Qingbai jokingly, “You are the one who has met you, otherwise you will have to be entangled in brown candy today.”

Lin Qingbai looked at him now, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Lei raised his eyebrows aside. “See for yourself.”
