Quick Wear: The Villain is a Little Pitiful

If a comrade wants to get married, the organization cannot but help him.

Old Xu immediately agreed to help Tong Xiyuan advance his salary, and also thought about getting some other benefits for Tong Xiyuan.

When Tong Xiyuan returned to the village, it was already dark. He brought back some food, cooked some rice porridge at home, and then went to Liu's house.

Before he could raise his hand to knock, the door opened.

When the little girl saw that it was him, she smiled and shouted into the house, "I told you that the footsteps were from Brother Xi Yuan, but you didn't believe me."

The room was crowded with people. Brother Liu rubbed his hands, opened the door curtain and walked out, "Xiyuan is here, come on, come in and sit down."

Tong Xiyuan was surprised at his change of attitude at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that the Liu family had eaten a lot of the things he sent, so they were naturally soft-hearted.

In addition, although the country advocates equality for all kinds of work, I am now a formal employee of a state-owned restaurant. In the eyes of people like Brother Liu and Sister Liu who can only continue to work in the production team to earn work points, I am already a superior person.

After all, if you earn a lot of money, your status will be higher in people's eyes.

Tong Xiyuan entered the room. The light was on and the room was bright. On the square octagonal table were leftovers. Fan He sat aside like a big boss, letting the three children clean up the dishes.

There is a little bit of rationality in the absurdity.

Mrs. Liu brought a stool for Tong Xiyuan, "Xiyuan, have you eaten? There is still some rice in the pot. I will go get you a bowl."

"No need," Tong Xiyuan stopped her, tore open the oil paper of the dumplings he brought and put them on the cleaned table, saying, "I bought some dumplings, you all can have a try."

Unlike yesterday's oily aroma, today's buns have more of a meaty aroma that almost fills the entire house.

The three children and Tong Xiyuan were no longer shy and reached out to take it. Mrs. Liu quickly slapped their hands away and said with a dry laugh, "We won't eat it if you bring it for Xiaofan."

They would still feel comfortable eating when Tong Xiyuan was not around, but when Tong Xiyuan was around, they would just feel ashamed.

It didn’t matter if they didn’t eat. Tong Xiyuan said to the three children, “You guys eat it. He can’t finish it all by himself.”

This "he" naturally refers to Fan He. Fan He held a steamed bun in his hand and snorted, but did not respond.

Mrs. Liu and Brother Liu looked at each other and began to change the subject.

Brother Liu said, "Xiyuan, I heard that you are working in a state-owned restaurant now?"

Tong Xiyuan hummed, still keeping an eye on Fan He's reaction.

The other person ate the steamed bun he made, chewed it twice, raised his eyebrows slightly, chewed much faster, swallowed it quickly, and reached for the second one.

Brother Liu rubbed his hands and said, "You are really capable. It's hard to get into a state-owned restaurant, right? I heard that to be a chef there you have to go through some kind of assessment, but the salary is also high. Xiyuan, your monthly salary is about 40 or 50 now, right?"

"That's about the same." Tong Xiyuan said.

Brother Liu sighed and apologized embarrassedly, "Xiyuan, I didn't say anything nice last time, don't take it to heart. I've thought about it carefully these past few days, and I think you're much more capable than your father. Don't worry, when Fan He gets married again, we will consider her half of our family."

Tong Xiyuan didn't say anything, and Fan He twisted the oil on his fingers and made a "tsk" sound.

Tong Xiyuan asked him, "Where is the handkerchief?"

Brother Liu exclaimed, "What?"

After he said this, he realized that Tong Xiyuan was talking to Fan He, and his face turned red and he shrank back.

Fan He raised his eyelids and glanced at Tong Xiyuan. When he heard him mention the handkerchief, he thought of the fragrance on it and turned his face away without responding.

Tong Xiyuan still didn't know what he was secretly angry about, and it was not easy to ask in front of outsiders, so he could only take out another handkerchief from his pocket and hand it over, "This is the only one I have."

Fan He took it with his backhand, but still didn't turn his head back. His face turned even darker when he smelled the familiar fragrance on it.

The remaining dumplings on the table had been eaten by the three children. Tong Xiyuan stood up, looked at the stubborn back of Fan He's head and asked, "Which are better, today's dumplings or yesterday's?"

The two boys looked at each other, what was yesterday and today, didn’t Brother Xiyuan just give it this time?

The little girl swallowed and thought that it must be delicious from yesterday, because she saw it but didn’t eat it, and what you can’t get is the best.

However, the next second, Fan He's words overturned her thoughts.

"Today's."

The little girl's face lit up with joy. Fortunately, she didn't eat yesterday and saved some food for today.

Tong Xiyuan smiled and said, "Get ready. I will come to marry you in seven days at most."

He left after saying this, and hurried back to check his pot, hoping that the rice porridge in it had not turned into rice.

Fan He in the room turned around and stared at his back for a long time, holding the handkerchief tightly in his hand, but he did not tear it this time.

***

Tong Xiyuan said it would take seven days at most, but in fact everything was ready on the fifth day.

Old Xu handed over his advance salary, food coupons, oil coupons, etc., and said mysteriously: "There is also a treasure, guess what it is?"

Tong Xiyuan shook his head. "I won't guess. Master Xu, please tell me what it is."

Old Xu patted Tong Xiyuan on the head and said, "You are such a boring little comrade. I, Old Xu, praised you so much to my superiors."

He led Tong Xiyuan out, pointed at the brand new bicycle parked in front of the hotel and said, "Here, it's assigned to you."

Tong Xiyuan's eyes widened, "For me?"

Are the current job benefits so good?

"Well, who else should I give it to if not you?" Old Xu pushed him, "Go up and give it a try, then come back and ride your bike to marry your wife."

Their state-owned restaurant is a state-owned unit and they have to distribute benefits to their employees from time to time. Expensive items like bicycles are not available to everyone and usually only old employees who have been working there for a long time can afford one.

But Tong Xiyuan had great skills and was very serious about his work. Now that he was getting married, Old Xu spoke well of him. His superiors also sympathized with a young man like him who was starting a family, so they allocated a bicycle to him.

Tong Xiyuan walked to the bicycle and stopped, touched the slippery paint on it, turned around and said, "Master Xu, I don't know how to ride it."

Old Xu said, "You will learn it when you go up."

999 reminded: [Yuanbao, most newbies will fall down, don't trust him.]

Tong Xiyuan looked at the bicycle with regret and returned to the hotel. "Learn when you have time. I'm going to work."

Old Xu looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Hey - you! With your courage, do you think your wife will like you?"

Tong Xiyuan turned a deaf ear to him and did not learn how to ride a bicycle until he got off work. He left his bicycle at the hotel and decided to learn with Fan He after they got married.

In this way, even if they fall, it will be embarrassing for both of them.

On the sixth day, which happened to be a day off, Tong Xiyuan went to Liu's house with a brand new radio.

Marriage is not a big deal, but just in case, Tong Xiyuan called the village chief and the production team leader to be witnesses.

"If you take the radio, he will no longer have any relationship with your Liu family, and his household registration will be moved to my house."
