Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 56: The Amazing Background

Half a month later, when Ma Qing was completing the manual work assigned by the master worker in the workshop, he heard several workers talking.

"Have you heard that Xishan Commune sent another pig, and it was sent by Yang Dali again?" said one person.

"Haha, you're talking about the past. The pigs sent by Xishan Commune have been here for several days. I heard that Chef Nan Rong is negotiating terms with the factory director. Once the deal is done, Chef Nan will be in charge of slaughtering the pigs and cooking. Just wait and taste Chef Nan's cooking skills."

Another person said, apparently this person was more informed. "Actually, this is nothing. The amazing thing is Yang Dali, he stayed this time. I heard he changed his job from farmer to non-farmer and is working in logistics."

"That's really amazing. Yang Dali must have powerful connections." The person who started the conversation sighed, and then shouted to Ma Qing's worker: "Master Yang, aren't you from Xishan Commune? Tell us about Yang Dali. What kind of background does he have to be so powerful?"

"Get lost, you're just gossiping about your wife. I've been out for years, don't you know?"

Master Yang replied loudly, but turned around and whispered to Ma Qing: "This Yang Dali has a background. You offended him last time, so be careful next time."

Ma Qing just came to his senses and laughed when he heard his master say that. "That's not true, Master. I'm just here to study for a while. I won't stay here after I graduate. I have nothing to do with him. What can he do to me?"

"You, you still underestimated him. Do you really think he is just a country guy? How do you know if he will move up in the future?" Master Yang asked with a smile, his face full of an expression that said, "I know the inside story, so ask me now."

Ma Qing was stunned and recalled it carefully. This memory was really interesting. The first time Yang Dali delivered pigs, the commune sent him alone. Yang Dali stood on the stage and talked eloquently without any stage fright. It seemed that he was well-trained. It was reasonable to say that he was the face of Xishan Commune.

However, he set off firecrackers when he slaughtered the pig, which was obviously a mistake. It is very intriguing that Xishan Commune actually sent another pig this time, and it was Yang Dali who sent it.

If we recall the plot carefully, this kid came to the machine repair factory, was in charge of logistics and supplies, dressed well and made connections everywhere; he gave gifts to Ding Qiunan's family and helped Ding Qiunan's father find a job; he also wanted to be transferred to the head office, and was caught in bed with Ding Qiunan, but in the end, nothing happened; wow, this is what a country kid can do.

"Haha, Master Yang, I understand. I won't ask you any more questions. You'll be suffocated to death." Ma Qing rolled his eyes and refused to respond to Master Yang's words.

Now it was Master Yang's turn to be unhappy. Seeing that Ma Qing ignored him and continued working on his own workpiece, he couldn't help but said, "Tell me what you understand. You're going to drive me crazy."

Ma Qing was busy with his work while curling his lips. "It's a very old story. I see that Yang Dali is in his twenties. I guess someone in the Yang family must have participated in the anti-Japanese war in the early years. I boldly guess that it was Yang Dali's father. He was arranged to marry at a young age. Maybe it was an arranged marriage. He was not satisfied with it. But he still got married and planted the seeds. Later he found an opportunity to join the team. Maybe he was lucky. He lived to see the victory of the revolution and became a cadre. Most likely he was a high-ranking official."

Ma Qing put down the workpiece at hand, took a sip of water, and whispered: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Dali's father was not satisfied with the arranged marriage, and he found a revolutionary partner again, so he divorced Yang Dali's mother. Yang Dali's mother kept Yang Dali by her side to take care of him, after all, he was her flesh and blood, so Yang Dali was born a farmer, but now Yang Dali has grown up, after all, he has a father who is an official, so he came to our machine repair factory after some work. As for what you said about Yang Dali's potential to move up, it seems that his father is a high-ranking official."

Master Yang's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, "What did you eat to grow up? I thought you were efficient at work and learned things quickly, but I didn't expect you to be so smart. You are worthy of being a technical secondary school student. You are a well-read person." "But what you said, 'The person is still fucked, and the seeds are still sown', is really rude." Master Yang laughed.

Ma Qing also laughed, and the whole workshop was filled with a sultry atmosphere.

"So don't offend him again in the future. Stay away from him when you see him and don't get close to him, otherwise he will hold a grudge against you, which will be bad for your future." Master Yang said seriously.

"Master, don't worry. If he doesn't bother me, I won't bother him either. I just dislike him and stay away from him, that's all." This was Ma Qing's natural response to his master's kindness. But he didn't think so in his heart. He still wanted to go to the main factory and sleep with pretty girls. Grandma, I can't stop him.

In the following days, Ma Qing was very active. He pulled his classmates to join the factory guard team and ordered several adopted sons to keep an eye on Yang Dali. He paid great attention to it. It was not necessary to follow him, but he just kept an eye on him.

In terms of time, the plot shouldn't advance so fast. Ma Qing just waits for Yang Dali to give Ding Qiunan wine, and then leads his friends to catch the rapist. If this still doesn't kill Yang Dali, Ma Qing will have no other choice.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Ma Qing and Liang Huandi's children were so familiar with each other that their weekend gatherings were moved from outdoors to a shabby house in the factory. Just when Ma Qing and the children were sitting around the fire, eating roasted chicken and toasted steamed bread, and having a great time, Liang Huandi appeared at the scene.

The children were so scared that they dared not say a word, but Ma Qing didn't care. He hadn't done anything bad. What was wrong with giving the children extra meals? He was well-off.

Liang Huandi looked at the children's greasy mouths and said to Ma Qing, "Who are you? Why are you so nice to my children? What are your intentions?" Liang Huandi looked Ma Qing up and down with a strong scrutiny.

"You must be Liang Huandi, right? I've heard Damao talk a lot about you. I think you're an amazing woman. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma Qing. I'm a fourth-year student at the Agricultural Machinery School, and I've been assigned by the school to work in the machine repair factory." Ma Qing stepped forward and stretched out her hand to shake hands.

Maybe it was because of Ma Qing's identity, or maybe it was because he was so young, Liang Huandi was obviously relieved, but she didn't shake hands with Ma Qing. Instead, she said, "You are so kind. You bring delicious food to my children every week. You don't have to deny it. These little guys smell of meat every weekend. I have been observing them for a long time. Today I finally caught you. What is your purpose in doing this?"

"I really don't have any purpose. I met Damao and the others by chance." Ma Qing pulled Liang Huandi aside, and after keeping some distance from the other children, he told Liang Huandi everything about Damao and the others wanting to cut off the pig's tail.

Hearing Liang Huandi's emotions beating, the bag on her chest showed an amazing shape under the cotton coat, and Ma Qing couldn't help but stare at her.

Liang Huandi noticed Ma Qing's dishonest look and quickly stepped back. "You are so young, but your eyes are dishonest. Who do you think I am? Don't think that giving my child some food will do anything. I know I don't have a good reputation in the factory, but I am not that kind of person."

"You mean you're looking for men everywhere in the factory." Ma Qing blurted out.
