Scholars in the courtyard

In the park.

Yu Haitang was wearing a green floral dress, and her two braids had turned into long black ponytails tied with a colorful rope, which looked bright in the sun.

She kept looking at the people passing by on the road, especially the men, and she would look at each one, imagining what kind of person she would have a blind date with.

On the side, the matchmaker who brought her here was sitting lazily on a bench, holding a red flower picked from somewhere in her hand, and she would put it on her nose to smell it from time to time, and she didn't look anxious.

"Aunt, if that person doesn't come again, I'm leaving!"

After looking for a while and seeing no one coming, Yu Haitang couldn't sit still.

With her background and appearance, it was already a great honor for her to come for a blind date, but the other party dared to be late. He really thought she couldn't get married!

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

The matchmaker said calmly, her voice was soft and gentle, and she was not anxious at all.

"Don't be impatient when it comes to blind dates. The more impatient you are, the more likely you are to be impulsive. Once you are impulsive, your heart will be blinded."

"If you can't see your heart, your eyes are no different from being blind."

"So, blind dates are a slow process. If you rush to get the marriage certificate, it's okay if you meet a good person, but if you meet a wicked person, you will suffer for the rest of your life..."

The matchmaker was talking about her life experience, but Yu Haitang didn't listen to her. She was still looking at the passers-by outside.

Seeing this, the matchmaker sighed in her heart.

It's not that she hasn't seen women like Yu Haitang over the years, and there are even quite a few of them.

She doesn't have the fate of that lady, but she has the disease of the lady.

She always thinks she is so outstanding, and she doesn't want to do this or that, and she doesn't even look at her own situation.

Even some people from the courtyards don't dare to be so picky.

What's more, she is a divorced person. Can ordinary people look down on her?

Who doesn't like to find a virgin girl? This steamed bun that has been chewed by others is not something that ordinary people can swallow.

If it weren't for the fact that the old Yu family had a good relationship with her and insisted that she help find a husband, she wouldn't want to take this job.

Thinking of this, the matchmaker looked at her back again, and she was even more suspicious.

It is said that this person should be easy to give birth to, but why doesn't he have a child?

Could it be that he can't give birth?

Thinking of this, the matchmaker's face became solemn.

If I introduce someone who can't give birth to a child, wouldn't it ruin my reputation?

Just when the matchmaker was worried, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and a belt came over not far away, holding a red book in his hand.

Seeing this person coming, the matchmaker immediately stood up and walked forward.

Yu Haitang felt uncomfortable when she saw this person for the first time.

His face was dark, his eyes were small, his eyelids were drooping, his body was not very strong, and he was a little hunched when he walked. The wrinkles on his face were not small at a glance.

He doesn't look like an official.

Seeing the matchmaker coming forward, she had to stand up.

"Comrade Wang Zhuo!"

"Hello, Aunt Li!"

After confirming their identities, the matchmaker called the two together. Now she didn't care about whether they had children or not, or their reputation.

If it doesn't work out, it's fine.

If it works out, what if there is a child?

"This is Yu Haitang, a broadcaster at the first branch of the Red Star Machinery Factory."

"This is Comrade Wang Zhuo, who works in foreign trade. You can tell from his appearance that he is a cultured person. It just so happens that you two are the same, so you will definitely be able to chat!"

"Haitang, you two sit down and chat first!"

Seeing Yu Haitang's stiff face, the matchmaker knew that it was probably a failure today, so she didn't say much and left the matter to the two of them. As for the result, she didn't care.

The matchmaker left quickly, leaving the two of them slightly embarrassed.

However, when the two looked at each other again, they no longer had the resistance they had at first sight.

After Wang Zhuo knew that Yu Haitang was a broadcaster at a branch of the Red Star Machinery Factory, he ignored the fact that this woman had been married before.

And looking at Yu Haitang's appearance, she didn't have the immaturity of a girl, but had a kind of seductive maturity, which made her feel itchy.

After hearing about Wang Zhuo's work, Yu Haitang also dug out the appearance of this person from the sewer and put it in the visible range.

As long as he is capable, politically correct, and can help her live the life she wants, appearance and other things can be discussed.

The two sat down again and got to know each other.

"Are you the leader of the supervision team of the machinery factory?"

Yu Haitang asked in surprise, with a little excitement in her expression.

She had also heard about disaster relief in the propaganda department, and the whole city knew about the supervision team.

Although the status of the supervision team is different, to be able to become the leader of the supervision team of the Red Star Machinery Factory, it must be an extraordinary person!

Wang Zhuo showed a confident smile, and he was too familiar with Haitang's expression.

"Yes, I'm in the Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"Comrade Liu Huaimin and Comrade Yang Xiaotao are very supportive of the work and have completed many tasks."

"Oh, by the way, you are in the first branch, right? My current task is to work in your factory. I have to go and see it when I have time..."

Wang Zhuo talked eloquently, making Yu Haitang hold his hands together with his eyes shining.

"Then you must find me when you go. I'm the announcer and will take you on a tour."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Yu Haitang looked like he knew everything, and then began to introduce the work.

"Our factory director, Sun Guo, used to work in the machinery factory..."

The two chatted for a long time in the park. Seeing that it was almost noon, Wang Zhuo looked at the sky and stood up and invited, "It's noon, let's eat and chat!"

"Okay, you choose the place!"

Yu Haitang smiled and agreed, feeling even more satisfied with the middle-aged man in front of him.

After saying that, the two got up and walked out of the park.

Just as the two were about to leave the park, Yu Haitang suddenly stopped and saw the two people under the willow tree on the roadside, a little distracted.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, I saw an acquaintance from the factory!"

Yu Haitang came to his senses and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but in his heart he was wondering, how did these two people get together?

"Let's go, we're late and there's no room left!"

The two left quickly.

Under the willow tree, the two of them were smoking cigarettes and talking quietly.

These two people were acquaintances in Yu Haitang's eyes, Li Nan and Guo Shengjun.

The reason why he was surprised was because of their identities.

As everyone knows, Li Nan is Yang Xiaotao's best confidant. From the time they were in the third workshop of the steel rolling mill, the two of them, no, I should say they are a team, as good as wearing a pair of pants.

But the other Guo Shengjun was not a good person.

At that time, he was also a workshop director at the steel rolling mill. He was nicknamed Guo Da Paizi, and his reputation was not very good.

But then I encountered an accident and was sent to the workshop to swing a sledgehammer. I heard that working in a machinery factory was not a good job.

For two unrelated people to come together, no wonder Yu Haitang wanted to take a second look.

"I received a notice that I will receive five hundred kilograms this week. Please see how you divide it!"

Guo Dapizi lowered his voice, smoked a cigarette, and looked around.

Li Nan had a trace of embarrassment on his face. He felt bad if he had done this kind of thing too often.

But it was easier to get on the boat than to get off, so he had no choice.

At the moment, we can only try our best to maintain the status quo, not to touch the red line, and not to be discovered.

"Five hundred is too much. I have received an extra three hundred pounds this month. Any more will easily attract attention!"

Li Nan's expression changed. Normally, it only costs about three hundred kilograms a month, and he also knew that three hundred kilograms was a waste of manufacturing. Anyway, he had many newcomers, so he could blame them.

But if it exceeds three hundred kilograms, it might attract the attention of the superiors. If it is discovered, things will become serious.

If you eat peanuts yourself, your family will suffer as well.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not asking you to steal or rob!"

Seeing that Li Nan disagreed, Guo Dabo looked like he hated him and said, "You just signed your name when you received the supplies. When you went back to work, you accidentally made some scraps. You are not an eighth-level fitter. This Isn’t that normal?”

"Besides, even eighth-level workers sometimes make mistakes. Why are you taking pictures?"

Li Nan smoked silently, "I'm just worried that I might be discovered if I go too far!"

Guo Dabozi said angrily, "You don't need to participate in other things, and you don't know other things. It's that simple. What do you have to worry about."

"Besides, there is a supervision team in this factory. Don't you see that you can't deal with our senior management? You, brother, are very busy. Who cares about this right now!"

Hearing Guo Dabozi say this, Li Nan lowered his head, always feeling sorry for Yang Xiaotao.

"Okay, quickly decide how much you want to take, and the rest belongs to us!"

"I'm telling you, the more you work, the more you will get. You know the rules."

"Dividends will be distributed soon this month, please think about it!"

Hearing this, Li Nan threw his head at his feet and stepped on it hard.

"three hundred!"

"good!"

Hearing Li Nan's decision, Guo Dayao lowered his head with a sneer on his face.

This is what he was thinking.

Greedy people will always choose the most when faced with benefits.

He nodded without any trace, curled his lips and turned to leave.

Li Nan looked at the other person's disappearing back, still feeling a little uneasy.

After all, this time is no different than usual.

Just thinking about the supplies my family received every time, this uneasiness faded a lot.

The originally worried heart became more relaxed.

As Guo Dapizi said, he just works normally and is not involved in anything else.

He was not involved in any crime.

In fact, he only had a rough understanding of what he was doing and the organization he was in.

As for who the people above were, who they were, and how to do it, he really didn't know.

However, so many successes also made him realize that the organization behind it must be quite big.

It was precisely this kind of strict organization that minimized the possibility of an incident happening and gave him psychological security.

Moreover, even if something really happened, as long as he insisted that he did not know, the superiors would not do anything to him.

at most…

Just leave this position!

Familiar people, familiar factories, and familiar workshops flashed before my eyes.

But these cannot satisfy his needs after all.

Before marriage and after marriage, they are two different lives for men.

Before becoming a father, and after becoming a father, those are two futures for the father.

He wants to give his children a carefree and prosperous home.

Just like Yang Xiaotao, his eyes were full of yearning.

Thinking of this, Li Nan looked up at the noon sun, put his hands behind his back, and walked home contentedly.

…

Machinery factory, in the office.

Yang Xiaotao was sitting at the table, lost in thought.

On the side, Lou Xiao'e glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and seeing his look, she felt helpless.

The situation in front of her was too weird. The materials were not compatible, and she could check the accounts to find out what went wrong.

But it just happened that she couldn't explain the matter in front of her.

It was so annoying.

Moreover, this person also involved Li Nan, so Lou Xiao'e didn't dare to say more.

Seeing the high-spirited man in front of the seat, with dull eyes at this moment, Lou Xiao'e felt indescribable sadness.

She got up, took the lunch box, and left the office.

Yang Xiaotao didn't notice Lou Xiao'e leaving, he just stared at the report that was sorted out.

On one side was a stack of receipts, all of which were signed by Li Nan.

On the other side was the amount of tasks completed by their group.

There seemed to be no problem between the two, and even if they were not compared with other groups, there was nothing wrong.

But seeing these signatures, Yang Xiaotao always felt irritated.

And his intuition told him that there was a problem here.
