Su Yu’s Promotion Record in the ’60s - Chapter 213

This time, except for Li Aihong, everyone from the Li family went.

It’s not that I really don’t want to go, but I gambled and said I didn’t go. As a result, Li Ping and Li Aidang were not ready to find her either. When everyone left, even after Li Aijun had left, Li Aihong felt regretful and uncomfortable seeing the empty house.

Mother Li saw that she was unhappy, so she said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t go, you are still young, there is no need to suffer from this pain. This time it takes one month to do it, which is different from the last two or three days. Then you think It’s not enough to come back.”

Li Aihong aggrieved, “Mom, I just think they love the party and they are squeezing me out. Obviously I am also a member of this family. But they like the eldest sister and don’t like me. Obviously I spend more time with them.”

“Well, they love the party and they are so foolish, you ignore them.” Mother Li didn’t notice the child. After all, the children have been very busy lately, and even she has no chance to interact with the children.

“As for your eldest sister, she was originally a heartless temperament, even my real mother ignored me.”

Seeing Li’s mother completely ignorant of her current grievances, Li Aihong reddened her eyes and cried, “Mom, now love the party and love the army do not talk to me, they always whisper in front of me. I talk to them, They don’t think it’s the same. And the kids in the compound are not happy to play with me. Why, I didn’t do anything wrong, why did you treat me this way?”

“Is there really such a thing?” Li’s mother took it seriously.

“Yeah.” Li Aihong nodded.

Mother Li said, “Then when they come back tonight, I will find a chance to talk to them.”

Li Aihong said, “I think it’s all the elder sister’s problem. They have a good relationship with the eldest sister now, maybe the eldest sister is doing things inside.”

Mother Li’s face changed. If this were true, her temper would be bad. If you have a family of brothers and sisters, it’s fine if they don’t have the same personality, but it would be too much to take the initiative to split up like this.

Li’s mother was originally prepared to wait for the children to come back in the evening and talk about it, but when the other children in the compound came back, she didn’t even see her own children. Only when children came to deliver letters did they know that the three siblings wanted to experience the workers. To eat and live in the dormitory, simply live in the dormitory.

In the canteen of the shoe factory, Li Ping happily finished the meal with his younger brothers and sisters, and then walked around the factory.

“We are no longer young. We have to learn to be independent. Parents raise so many children and it is under great pressure. We have to learn to earn money and support ourselves, and we must also learn to live well even if we leave home in the future. There is only independence. Only those who find it can find their goals faster than others.”

Li Aidang said happily, “Sister, I know, just like living in the military dormitory in the future, we live by ourselves and treat ourselves as adults. We can’t treat ourselves as children.”

“Just want to think so.” Li Ping said with a smile.

Li Aijun squeezed his clothes and said, “Sister, I heard in the workshop that our workers can buy shoes directly in the factory, I don’t know if it is true.”

Li Ping said, “Love the army, if you want to know if it is true, just ask yourself. You are not a child now, you are a worker, and you are a worker with everyone. You have to mingle with other people. Only in this way can you truly appreciate the workers’ experience. Live. Instead of treating yourself as a spectator.”

Li Aijun rubbed his head ignorantly, “Then I will ask myself.”

Although I don’t know what the eldest sister said, but it should be for her to rely on herself. It’s nothing on your own. She makes money by washing clothes by herself. I have bought a few new clothes, and my parents still can’t control her. Now I’m out to work again to make money, and I can still take the opportunity to buy cheap shoes.

Li Ai-dang disliked, “Sister, you are so stinky, you always have shoes and clothes. You can’t eat as a meal.”

“I like it, I like buying clothes and shoes.” Li Aijun akimbo unhappy. “I didn’t spend your money, nor did I spend my parents’ money, I spent my own money!”

After saying this, Li Aijun suddenly felt confident.

It turned out to be so easy to make money for myself to buy things I like. No one can control, no one can say that she is not good. This is her own, no one else can control it!

“Smelly!” Li Ai Dang made a face.

Li Ai’s army reached out and beat him angrily, but he escaped easily.

Li Ping watched the two men fighting, and smiled slightly.

After the children arrived at the factory, they felt uncomfortable for the first few days and felt that they were just outsiders, but after sitting for a week, they gradually became proficient.

When Li Ping is not working, she will also look for opportunities to go to various factories to see the working conditions of these children. Do psychological counseling by the way.

She had done this kind of thing before in the student union, so it was easy to do these things. Let the children in these military district compound feel that they are being particularly cared for. When I have troubles or have difficulties, I will consciously go to Li Ping’s big sister for help. After going back and forth, I became more dependent on Li Ping, feeling the same as my own sister.

Slowly, almost all the children in these compound moved to live in the factory dormitory. They met people of their own age in the factory, who were only in their teens, had taken over from work, took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family, and were much more proficient in doing things than themselves.

After getting in touch with these, the children in the compound knew that they were not only able to work as unpopulated rural people, but also not as good as these working-class children. Temper also gradually became independent. It looks more stable.

Until the end of the month, everyone received their own wages and the benefits provided by the factory.

Li Ping suggested that everyone buy something for the family with their salary, and then go to have a meal together.

So, the children from 17 or 8 courtyards followed Li Ping to the shopping mall. After shopping, they took the money to eat noodles. Although it is a bowl of noodles, everyone eats it with relish.

This is the noodles that he earned the first money in his life. Eat clean in one breath. Not even a drop of noodle soup is left. After all, I bought it with my own money, and a drop of noodle soup is my own blood and sweat.

When returning to the compound in the evening, everyone carried things in their hands and happily sang songs into the compound, “Unity is strength, and unity is strength. This strength is iron, and this strength is steel, harder than iron.” , Stronger than steel. Fire at Fascisti and let all undemocratic systems die…”

When they heard the movement, the parents all came out to see, and saw their daughters or sons happily running back carrying things.

His face is thinner, but he looks refreshed.

These well-fed and energetic teenagers and girls saw their parents, and hurriedly carried their things up to show off, “Parents, we are back, I bought you a pair of shoes, they are precious!” Inside the shoe factory The problem shoes are not cheap!

“I bought a schoolbag for my brother.”

“I bought a coat for the milk, and it happens to be cold right away and ready to wear…”

“…”

On the Li family’s side, Li Ping also took Li Aidang and Li Aijun home.

Li Guoliang happened to be at home. Hearing the movement outside, knowing that it was the children coming back, he asked Li’s mother to open the door.

Li Ai-dang shouted as soon as he entered the house, “Parents, we are back!”

Li Aijun followed Li Ping into the house, with a little pride in his eyes, but he didn’t learn how to make a noise like Li Aidang.

Li Guoliang smiled and nodded when seeing the children coming back, then looked at Li Ping, “Everything is going well.”

“Dad, it went well. These comrades are very disciplined and work hard. The people in the factory also said that they are welcome to continue next time.”

“Yeah.” Li Guoliang nodded in satisfaction.

Mother Li said, “Why come back so late, have you eaten?”

“I have eaten it. We ate it outside. The egg noodles were delicious!” The corners of Li Aidang’s eyes were flying.

Seeing them like this, Li Aihong, who had been pouting and unhappy, finally couldn’t hold back anymore, got up and walked to the room.

Her action made others stunned, and Li Ai Party said, “What’s the matter with this?”

Mother Li was unhappy and said, “You love the party, why are you talking. Your sister is not happy, so you don’t care?”

“What am I going to do?” Li Aidang wondered.

Mother Li looked like he didn’t understand anything, and didn’t know what to say in her mouth, so she looked at Li Ping and Li Aijun, “It just so happens that you are back, and I want to have a good talk with you.”

Li Ping calmly put the things on the table, and then sat down.

Li Guoliang said, “What to talk about, let the children rest.”

“Old Li, you can’t let them do this.” Mother Li said solemnly, “Originally, what they had to say before going to the factory, if it weren’t for a month without home, it wouldn’t be delayed until now.”

Li Aidang said impatiently, “Mom, just say what you have. I bought you something and want to show it to you.”

“It’s about Ai Hong. You all went out this time and left her at home for a month.”

“She didn’t go by herself!” Li Aidang said unhappy.

“…” Mother Li choked, and then said, “But at least you have to invite… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I heard that Ai Dang you don’t talk to Ai Hong now?”

“Where is it?” Li Ai Dang said, “I am busy studying every day, how can I have time to talk to her?” He is in class during the day, and he will study with his dad and elder sister when he comes back, and go out to experience life when he is on vacation. Well, very busy.

Li’s mother looked at Li Aijun, and Li Aijun hurriedly said, “I have to do homework and wash clothes, I am busy.”

“…” Mother Li looked at Li Ping, “Pingping, you are the eldest sister, you talk about this.”

Li Ping smiled slightly, “Mom, I’m usually at school, and I don’t have much contact with Aihong. Besides, this time the matter is completely voluntary and treats them equally. Aihong herself is not willing to go, I will invite her, Will it make it difficult for her to do it? And…” She took out the things on the table and took out a notebook, “I have paid her this time and bought things for her. Both the love party and the love army buy things. If we really don’t want to care about her, why would we want to buy her something. This is all our hard-earned money.”

“The eldest sister is right!” Li Aidang unflaggingly opened a kraft paper, which was also a notebook. Same as Li Ping’s.

Li Aijun also took out a notebook, “I bought it too. Mom, just this notebook, I have to paste the soles of my shoes for three days.”

Li’s mother was speechless.

Li Ping said, “Mom, I think Ai Hong may not adapt to everyone being busy, she is not busy. Just like me at the time, I didn’t adapt to life in the city at that time. After a long time, isn’t it all used to it?”

“That’s right, didn’t the eldest sister didn’t care about it at the beginning? The second sister has a lot of things!” Li Aidang said unhappy.

Li Aijun looked at Li Ping with some guilty conscience. She knew why no one was taking care of her sister. The second elder sister said that there is an elder sister from the countryside who made people laugh, saying that the eldest sister came to grab their clothes and shoes, and also rob the room, so…

Li Guoliang heard these words on the side, and remembered that Li Ping used to go in and out alone. At that time, they didn’t even think about mediating the relationship between the children… “Forget it, everyone bought something for Ai Hong. This is a misunderstanding. Let Ai Hong want to start a little bit. She grew up in a compound and is even less gregarious than Pingping. Who can blame this?”

Mother Li couldn’t say anything now. Looking at her silent eldest daughter, she felt a little frustrated.

After Li Aihong’s complaint, Li Aidang and Li Aijun also had greater opinions on Li Aihong. I think she is a traitor, always making trouble behind her back, so that everyone is criticized for no reason. Not even the last notebook to be given away, and went back to the house angrily.

Li Ping insisted on sending it, but Li Aihong refused. “I don’t care about your stuff. I know, you are hypocritical.” He directly returned the notebook to the bed.

Li Ping took the notebook back, “If someone pretended to me before, I would be happy too.”

Li Ai froze for a while, then fell on the bed and continued to sleep.

On the contrary, Li Aijun looked at Li Ping on the bed, thinking of what the elder sister said, thinking of what he had done before, and felt a little uncomfortable. When Li Ping got out of the room, he secretly put his notebook on Li Ping’s desk. Worrying that Li Ping had misunderstood the wrong person, she wrote on the first page of the notebook again, “Sister”.

When Li Ping came back, she saw the book on the table and flipped through it. After seeing the words on the first page, she paused and looked at Li Aijun who was pretending to be asleep. He smiled and put the notebook in his schoolbag.
