Chapter 21 Make a friend
After dinner, Hua Jianshe sent Hua Rendong to work.
When I was queuing up at the factory gate to enter, the security guard called me and said, "Master Hua, the batch of machines that the city textile factory received some time ago has a broken part. Several masters above level seven in the city have gone there, but none of them can make the part. The factory director and deputy director went there yesterday and just called me to ask you to go to the textile factory to take a look."
"Okay! I'll go there later!"
Hua Jianshe agreed. He knew he would definitely miss the two commuter buses to the city in the morning, so he wanted to send Hua Rendong off before riding his bike to the city.
Hua Rendong raised her wrist to look at her watch and said, "Uncle, it's still early. I can still make it to the workshop by myself. You should hurry to the city."
Seeing that there were many people entering the factory ahead, Hua Jianshe agreed. "Okay, I'll go to the city first. You can walk slowly. I'll pick you up in the evening."
Hua Jianshe rode a long way and called Hua Rendong, asking her to wait for him to pick her up after get off work in the evening. Hua Rendong agreed and watched Hua Jianshe's bike disappear before going back into the factory.
She didn't sleep well last night, but now that she knew how to contact Xu Xixi, she was in a surprisingly good mood. On the way, she met Zhao Xiaomei, a co-worker in the same workshop, and they started chatting while walking.
"Erhua, I heard that the county department store just got a new batch of ready-made clothes from the capital. Let's go take a look after we get our wages at noon."
Although prices were not expensive at that time, wages were indeed not high, especially for ready-made clothes imported from the capital. Could they be cheap?
Thinking about the original owner's monthly salary of less than 30 yuan, Hua Rendong felt that it was useless to read it. What if he could afford it?
But Hua Rendong couldn't resist Zhao Xiaomei's constant persuasion. She also wanted to go to the department store to have a look. Even if she couldn't afford to buy anything, at least she could take a look. So she agreed to go to the department store with Zhao Xiaomei after get off work at noon, and then take an hour off to go to the department store.
It was a long way from the factory gate to the workshop. When they passed a poplar forest, a young man with pimples all over his face jumped out of the forest and blocked their way.
The young man was not tall. Hua Jindong, who was only 1.7 meters tall, had to lower her head to look him in the eye. However, he was very fat. He must have weighed at least 170 or 180 kilograms, if not 200 kilograms. In this era, he was very conspicuous wherever he went.
When the young man saw the two men stop, he whistled in an inappropriate way and walked towards Hua Rendong with his arms open, "Comrade Hua Erhua, I heard that you had a whistle with that kid Li Dongfeng. I don't mind that you have been with someone before, let's be friends!" He looked like a fool no matter how you looked at him.
In this era, when men and women become friends, it means they are dating, but his attitude doesn't seem like he really wants to be in a relationship.
Zhao Xiaomei, who was standing next to him, was startled. She grabbed Hua Rendong's sleeve and said in fear, "Erhua, we can't afford to offend this guy. Let's run!"
Hua Jindong was very curious about what Zhao Xiaomei said. She wanted to see who was so awesome. She stared at the bumpy face for a long time before she recognized it. It was an acquaintance.
This man was called Ma Yuanhong. He was in the same junior high school as the original owner. He had an uncle who was the director of the county revolutionary committee. He would also make random accusations against anyone he disliked.
The uncle and nephew can be said to be the two major scourges of Zhou County. They have connections above them, so others can't do anything to them. When people talk about them behind their backs, no one won't grit their teeth.
At this moment, his wretched expression contrasted with his face full of broken skin and pus-filled blisters. Hua Honeysuckle was so disgusted by him that she almost vomited out her breakfast.
Being targeted by such a person, Hua Rendong just wanted to curse: What bad luck!
Seeing that he was about to hug her while talking, Hua Rendong raised her leg and kicked without thinking. She didn't hold back any strength in the kick and kicked Ma Yuanhong in the stomach, directly kicking his fat body back five or six steps, and his butt was stuck in the gutter on the side of the road, with his face almost broken into his crotch.
Ma Yuanhong yelled angrily, "Hua Erhua, you don't want to be treated like this?"
"Haha, what a powerful official! I am scared to death."
Hua Rendong took two steps to the gutter and crushed Ma Yuanhong's face with the sole of her shoe. Ma Yuanhong howled in pain, "You little whore, how dare you step on my face!"
"Oh, I'm so scared. My feet are out of control. What should I do?" Although he said he was scared, Hua Honeysuckle used a little more strength with his feet. Although he couldn't crush this piece of garbage to death directly, he would definitely not let it feel good.
I was still thinking in my mind how feasible it was to kill both the uncle and nephew at night.
Until she felt the abscesses under her feet burst, and seemed to hear the sound of the abscesses rupturing, Hua Honeysuckle was disgusted again, and this time she didn't even want her shoes anymore.
I rubbed back and forth on the mud several times, but the nausea feeling still couldn't be dissipated. I must buy a pair of shoes as soon as I get the money.
Ma Yuanhong wanted to scold him, but when she saw Hua Rendong raising her leg again, she was frightened and begged for mercy, "Auntie, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
Hua Rendong put down her foot, rolled her eyes with disdain, and said to Zhao Xiaomei, who was also feeling disgusted, "Let's go!"
Zhao Xiaomei hurriedly followed, staring at Hua Rendong's shoes, and couldn't help but vomiting, "Erhua, why did you step on him?"
Hua Rendong thought she thought she was too violent, but she heard her say, "These shoes are dirty, can I still use them?"
Hua Honeysuckle burst out laughing, "Well, I don't want them anymore. I'll go buy new shoes when I get my salary at noon."
Why didn’t I feel that Zhao Xiaomei was so interested in me before?
After walking about ten meters away, Hua Rendong looked back and saw Ma Yuanhong holding on to the drainage ditch with both hands and about to get up. He placed his hands on a poplar tree by the roadside and activated his special powers. Ma Yuanhong, who had just stood up halfway, was pulled back down by the tree roots that protruded from the edge of the ditch.
When he sat down, a protruding stone hit his coccyx, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered. This attracted several workers who were on duty. When they saw that it was Ma Yuanhong, they laughed and walked over, but no one came to help him.
Ma Yuanhong was so angry that he wanted to curse, but the pain on his face and tailbone made his cries for help sound weak like a pig's grunt.
Hua Jindong, who was in a good mood, didn't see it soon after. A bearded man came to the ditch, stared at Ma Yuanhong who was sitting in the ditch, and his gaze finally stopped on a tree root sticking out of the ditch. A smile of "as expected" flashed in his eyes.
Ma Yuanhong was tired of struggling. Seeing someone coming over, he begged for help, "Help...help me...my uncle is...the leader of the Revolutionary Committee..."
Before he could finish his words, a foot in leather shoes landed on his chest, pressing Ma Yuanhong, who was already folded in the gutter, down even more.
