Chapter 70: Second watch

In the evening, after sending Yan Ruxu to the unit to work overtime, Kang Congxin took Kangkang to a nearby small square for roller skating lessons.

Working overtime at night is a collective behavior of the magazine, not for anything else, just to cope with the upcoming city-wide patriotic health campaign competition.

This year, it is the first year for the magazine to participate in the selection as an independent unit. Secretary Gao attaches great importance to it and requires everyone to clean up everything from the floor sanitation to every corner, and strive to win the first prize in the first selection. A good grade.

Secretary Gao told everyone that we will not compete for the "excellent", but at least one must be "good". Don't even think about your annual bonus!

For the sake of collective honor and to keep the bonus, everyone was very enthusiastic about cleaning. It was already bright and quiet, and it looked brand new, but a sandstorm blew up during the day, which made everyone's hard work in the past few days go to waste. Seeing that the evaluation will start tomorrow, Secretary Gao urgently held a mobilization meeting: "...We encountered a sandstorm, and other units also did the same, but our advantage is that the unit is small, and the scope of sanitation is also small, so we work overtime, maybe It can also be a blessing in disguise!"

Secretary Gao's words made everyone feel very reasonable, so all the employees of the magazine went to the unit to work overtime for hygiene after eating.

While his mother was cleaning the small white building wearing a hat and a mask, Kangkang was wearing a helmet, protective gear, and roller skates, skating happily on the concrete floor of the small square like a bird. The coach taught him how to use force and how to breathe, and Kangkang learned it very seriously.

Roller skating is a newly emerging sport in China, and its popularity rate is not high. Kangkang discovered the sport while walking with his parents at night. At that time, the young coach was wearing roller skates and nimbly shuttled between a row of narrowly spaced candles without knocking over the candles or extinguishing them. Kang Kangda was interested and immediately expressed his desire to learn.

The coach showed off his skills in the square to attract students, so he recruited Kang Kang, his only student so far. Some parents were also attracted one after another, but they were dissuaded by the high cost of roller skating equipment after consultation.

Therefore, Kangkang is still the only student of the coach, receiving one-on-one guidance. The coach taught with great care, trying to make Kangkang his signature. And Kang Kang probably inherited Kang Congxin's sports cells. He is courageous, has a well-developed cerebellum, excellent body coordination, strong calves, and can understand the skills taught by the coach. He quickly stepped on roller skating like a hot wheel like.

Kang Congxin's eyes moved with his son, full of pride as an old father.

Suddenly, the child's body swayed, and he was about to fall. Kang Congxin tried his best to suppress the idea of rushing out to save his son, and watched his son fall, feeling distressed but extremely relieved. Kangkang remembered the fall technique taught by the coach, and he didn't feel any pain from the fall. He quickly got up and continued to slide with a smile.

That night, Kang Congxin's mood was ups and downs, no less than commanding a battle.

When Kang took Kang Kang to pick up Yan Ruxu in the evening, the family of three were very tired.

The next morning, Secretary Gao warmly welcomed the inspection team of the Patriotic Sanitation Campaign. He accompanied them carefully and said good things all the way, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after looking for a chance to see someone's score sheet. When the magazine staff saw Secretary Gao send the inspection team away, they were beaming and humming a ditty, and they were all relieved. I worked overtime last night, and the busy work was finally not in vain, and the quarterly bonus seemed to be kept.

Seeing Jiang Yun pinching her shoulders, Huang Limei unconsciously shook her sore shoulders. Seeing that Chen Yang was fine, she couldn't help being envious, and said: "Once a woman is over thirty, her physical strength is not as good as it is every day. I did it this morning. When I got up, my back hurt and I couldn’t even lift my arms. Yesterday, Chen Yang did a lot of work, but he didn’t have anything to do. You should be a young man! Editor-in-Chief Yan, how are you doing?”

Yan Ruxu turned his arms around and said, "I'm fine. You guys did all the heavy and tiring work yesterday, so I just swept the floor and cleaned the table. Where can I be so tired?"

Huang Limei: "That's not true. Don't underestimate sweeping the floor. You can't stand bending over all the time. My waist has been bad since I gave birth. Are you okay?"

Yan Ruxu: "I'm fine. The aunt who helped me with confinement is very experienced. Our family is healthy and well-behaved. I don't like to cry when I'm full. I don't need to hug me all the time, so I don't suffer much."

Huang Limei has been in this office for a long time, and she has become familiar with her colleagues, so she gradually began to speak freely. At first, neither Yan Ruxu nor Jiang Yun was used to it, but she got used to it after listening too much. In the beginning, Huang Limei paid attention to avoiding Chen Yang, but later she stopped avoiding it, saying that he will be useful in the future. Chen Yang has also gone through the process from embarrassment to habit, and now he can calmly listen to their discussions about childbirth, confinement and so on.

After all, Yan Ruxu is not Huang Limei, and Huang Limei can't talk to her about topics that are too big. The two of them mostly talk about children. Chen Yang thinks that if he stays in this office for a while, he can become half a parenting expert .

Jiang Yun has been preparing for her marriage recently, and she has been exhausted physically and mentally, and has been listless all day long. The current society's wedding atmosphere is to make a big fuss, the more grand and lively the better. Jiang Yun's parents have listened to gossip for so many years. The daughter is finally getting married, and they can finally feel elated. Yun, let her list all her classmates from kindergarten to university, comrades who jumped in line together, and colleagues from Dazhong Daily, and distribute invitations one by one.

The mother and daughter had conflicts because of this matter, and it was even more annoying to hear two people who came here talking about confinement. She lay down on the table and complained in a rare way: "Getting married is really troublesome. When I think about it, there are so many troublesome things after marriage, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, having children and raising children. Thinking about it, I feel that the future is bleak." Light. If only people in this world wouldn't be so harsh on women."

Yan Ruxu: "Don't say that, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is only a part, and it cannot be generalized. After having a child, although there are many things to do, but also a lot of fun, you can't experience it if you haven't become a mother."

Huang Limei agreed, saying: "Yes, I get along very well with my mother-in-law, even better than with my natal mother. My mother's words are very harsh, and I have to have a big fight with her if I can't stay with her for a long time, isn't it? When she slams the door, I slam the door and leave. My mother-in-law is different, she thinks that you are doing something wrong, she will take your face into account, and remind you very tactfully. There are also children, look at our family Huanhuan Editor-in-Chief Yan’s Kang Kangduo is cute, there is such a small Jingdou dangling in front of your eyes, you can forget any pain and troubles.”

Jiang Yun sighed, rubbed her head on her arm, and said: "It is because of you two who set an example for me that I made up my mind to get married. Well, since I have decided to get married and the date of marriage has been set, I will no longer Thinking about these things will only increase your troubles, and it is serious to take care of the wedding in front of you."

Yan Ruxu: "You're right to think that way. Marriage also needs to be managed well. Both husband and wife will definitely be able to live well if they work together."

Huang Limei: "I agree!"

Both of them saw that Jiang Yun's emotions were not right for a while, as if she was a little afraid of marriage, so they solved her as soon as they found an opportunity. There is a glimmer of longing in life.

Although there was no flag-presenting ceremony, the story of Kang Congxin's brave deeds spread throughout the group.

At this moment, someone was talking about him at the dinner table in the two-bedroom apartment of one of the residential buildings of the former No. 1 Machinery Factory affiliated hospital.

"...Who knows if the story of being brave is true or not, maybe he directed and acted it himself!" Ma Jinwoo put a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth and chewed vigorously. Ever since she lost her rights, she has aged a lot, and her energy is not as high as before, but she has gained a lot of weight, and her chin has drooped.

"You should close the door and talk about mouth addiction in your own home, but don't spread any gossip. The one who was rescued was a professor at Huayang University. I heard that he was a famous painter. He is so famous. There is no need for people to set up a stage with him to sing an opera, and besides, there are police officers and reporters following, I don’t think this thing can be faked, I’m afraid it’s true.” Sui Mingli, Ma Jingying’s husband, former deputy director of the First Machinery Factory explain.

Ma Jinwoo wanted to refute her husband, but she didn't know how to refute her husband, so she pursed her mouth and said nothing. His eyes caught sight of Yang Chuncao, the daughter-in-law who was bowing her head to cook rice diagonally across the street, and she was furious. I was really upset when I saw her, there was nothing pleasing to the eye anywhere in her body, she tapped the side of the plate with her chopsticks bitterly, "I can't do anything, I can't eat enough, all I have to do this day is eat you What else can you do! You can’t even tie a man, what’s the use of you, tell yourself, your man hasn’t been home for a few days?”

Yang Chuncao lowered her head without saying a word, and continued to grill rice unaffected.

Sui Mingli said: "I was eating, why did I start scolding people all of a sudden, I lost my appetite, if you want to educate people, you have to finish eating first."

Ma Jinnuo became angry, and slapped her chopsticks on the table: "Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat! You are a wimp, you dare not ask you to find that Kang Congxin, but you have the ability to criticize me!"

Sui Mingli was also angry, no matter what, he used to be the deputy director of a large factory. Although his position was gone, his temper was still there. He also threw his chopsticks and shouted: "Didn't I look for it, man?" Don’t see me at all! You say I’m not capable, but if you are capable, you’d better go, you’re so capable, how can you be cowardly when you see someone!”

In this way, the two of them were discouraged at the same time, and the tension just now disappeared, leaving only dissatisfaction.

After a while, Sui Mingli said: "I don't know which dead man crawled out of that guy. He was full of evil spirits and scared me to death. I was staring at his car that day and was about to stop him and have a good talk with him. But he just glanced at me, and I felt cold all over, and moved away without listening to my steps. I will never dare to see him alone again."

Ma Jinwoo felt empathy for her husband, and when facing this man, all the tricks she was used to didn't work anymore. As the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of being dumbfounded, and those who are dumbfounded are afraid of dying. Ma Jinwoo thinks that she can be fooled even if she is arrogant, and Kang Congxin is the one who "doesn't die". His tricks became paper tigers in front of Kang Congxin.

Taking advantage of the lively conversation between the two, Yang Chuncao didn't pay attention to her, so she hurried to eat, and took the opportunity to hide several pieces of meat in the bottom of the bowl. After living in this home for several months, she has mastered the rules of living well.

She is a rural girl with no academic qualifications or culture. She used to work as a nanny in the leadership of a cotton spinning factory and took care of her paralyzed mother for many years until the old lady passed away. The factory leader is very grateful to her for her hard work these years, so that the old lady did not suffer much even though she was paralyzed in the last few years. Thinking that after the death of the old lady, she might have to go back to the countryside. She tried her best to arrange Yang Chunyan to go to a cotton spinning factory and become a front-line female worker.
