Chapter 296 297 [Let's go to the hotel]
Xiang Nan knew that she was responsible for bringing back to the army, He Xiaoping, a recruit specially recruited by the Art Troupe.
In the 1970s, joining the army was something that all aspiring young people yearned for. In "Bloody Romance", the leading actor Zhong Yuemin was enlisted in the army only by virtue of his relationship.
The art troupe has bright work, easy training, and good remuneration, so people who want to go are even more crowded. Because of this, the art troupe has a limited number of new recruits, and the requirements are extremely demanding.
He Xiaoping is the candidate that the team leader is particularly optimistic about. For this reason, she has specially sought a quota specially approved by the head, which shows how excellent her qualifications and strength are.
"We just sat on the train for two days and two nights, and we were sleepy and tired. It's still raining heavily, and our clothes are wet." Xiang Nan thought for a while, and cautiously suggested, "In my opinion, let's Find a hotel to stay for a while. Take a good rest and keep your spirits up. When the weather clears up tomorrow, let’s report in a clean and refreshed manner, what do you think?”
In the movie, after Liu Feng brought Xiaoping back to Tianfu City, he immediately returned to the art troupe without taking a break. At that time, Xiaoping took the train for two days and two nights. Not only was she tired physically, but her clothes were already dirty, smelly, and wet.
However, the team leader praised her as the best in the world, and encouraged her to show off her talent in front of all the members. As a result, Xiaoping lost her energy and fell down after jumping twice. Not only did she not show her face but she showed her eyes, causing ridicule.
And her dirty, smelly and wet outfit also left a bad impression on the members, letting everyone see through her embarrassment and humbleness.
The so-called money is the guts of a person, and clothes are the prestige of a person. Respect the clothes first and then the people. Not all art troupes are saints, they are actually no different from society, there are groups, competitions and exclusions.
Xiaoping has good qualifications and strong strength, which naturally attracts people's envy. And she happened to come from a humble background with no background, so she naturally incurred suppression and bullying.
Xiang Nan didn't want her to suffer such a fate again, so he wanted to help He Xiaoping make a good start.
Help her find a hotel, stay for one night first, recover her spirit and physical strength, and report to the art troupe tomorrow.
…
"Okay." Xiaoping readily agreed.
Xiang Nan was greatly moved when he saw it.
Twenty or thirty years later, if he just said to take the girl to the hotel when they first met, he would definitely get the girl's mouth.
It's not like this year, how simple people are.
Xiang Nan immediately brought Xiaoping to the Red Flag Hotel.
At that time, living in a hotel was not just about being rich and having an ID card. You also need a letter of introduction from your unit, and you have to pay food stamps and meat stamps before you are allowed to live.
Moreover, the room does not mean that you can choose whichever you choose, you must follow other people's arrangements. Otherwise, getting kicked out is not out of the question.
Xiang Nan booked two single rooms and settled Xiaoping down.
"Take off your wet clothes and go to the bathhouse to take a hot bath first." He opened the luggage bag, took out a towel and soap and handed it to Xiaoping.
"Comrade Liu, you don't need to pay for bathing here?" Xiaoping asked worriedly.
"No need to pay, the room fee we pay already includes the shower fee." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"That's good. In our place, a bath costs 15 cents, and my mother is too expensive. So every time I take a bath, I boil water and wipe it with a basin." Xiaoping said happily after hearing this.
Xiang Nan was a little embarrassed and pitiful when he heard her say that.
"Shh, don't tell others about this kind of thing in the future." He reminded.
It is human nature to prey on the strong. People in the art troupe are also people, not everyone is a living Leifeng. Xiaoping's words were shabby, and she looked unloved, so she was naturally more likely to be bullied.
Xiaoping was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
She's not stupid, she just doesn't have much experience in the world, she thought that if she joined the art troupe, everyone would be comrades-in-arms. Comrades in arms are as close as brothers, so she has nothing to guard against, and dares to say anything private.
"By the way, our art troupe doesn't need to pay for bathing. From now on, you can wash every day." Xiang Nan laughed again.
Young little girl who doesn't like to be clean. She didn't have the conditions before, but in the future she has to wash every day, wash well, and wash herself thoroughly.
"Okay, let's take a shower." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Xiaoping nodded, and went with a towel and soap.
Xiang Nan immediately took her wet clothes, as well as his own, to the water room and washed them clean.
…
Xiao Pinger took a bath for nearly an hour. During this period, Xiang Nan had already finished washing her clothes, went to the cafeteria to get food, and even found time to write a song.
Even so, he waited for another five minutes before He Xiaoping rubbed her hair and returned to the room.
Xiang Nan wondered if she would scratch the skin.
"Comrade Liu, did you wash my clothes too?" As soon as she returned to the room, she saw the washed clothes hanging on the drying rack, and she was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'm used to working." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to do laundry, so I took it with me."
"You wash really clean!" Xiaoping said gratefully.
Since her father was sent to a farm for labor reform and her mother took her to remarry, she had to wash her clothes by herself. Moreover, he is also responsible for washing the clothes of the whole family.
This is the first time someone has done her laundry for her, and she can't help but be grateful.
"It's so-so." Xiang Nan smiled, "Come on, it's time to eat. I just got the food. Twice-cooked pork and shredded fish-flavored pork, I wonder if you like it?"
"Meat?!" Xiaoping's eyes lit up when she heard it.
Meat was in short supply at the time, and every table was short of meat. Moreover, even if there is meat on the table, Xiaoping often cannot eat it.
Because her stepfather disliked her, her mother didn't want to see her, and her younger siblings also bullied her, and they ate all the meat they had. At most, she eats a la carte and dips in some soup.
So now that she heard that there was meat, she couldn't help swallowing.
"Yes, come and eat." Xiang Nan smiled, and then opened the lunch box.
Sure enough, it was delicious twice-cooked pork and shredded fish-flavored pork, paired with snow-white rice, which almost made Xiaoping's glutton come out.
She quickly sat down and ate.
But out of habit, she still only dared to eat vegetables. She dared not touch those meats.
"You eat meat, you're welcome." Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled and put a large chopstick of meat into her bowl.
Xiao Ping tried to take a bite, and her mouth was full of meaty aroma, which made her feel full of happiness, and she couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes.
"How does it taste, is it okay?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"En, um, um." Xiao Ping nodded frequently, this was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten. She will never forget it in her life.
…
"Comrade Liu, why do you only eat vegetables and not meat?" As she ate and ate, Xiaoping discovered that Xiang Nan only ate garlic sprouts from twice-cooked pork and shredded green peppers from fish-flavored shredded pork, but left all the meat After getting off, he couldn't help but wondered.
"You can eat, I don't like meat." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Is there anyone who doesn't like meat?" Xiaoping was even more moved when she heard what he said.
She knew Xiang Nan was a good person. He only eats vegetables, not meat, and keeps all the meat for himself. What a man!
