Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 96: Complete Settlement of Favors

Time flies, and suddenly it is August. In the past few months, several big and small things have happened to Ma Qing.

First, Liang Huandi was finally transferred to the Red Star Steel Mill. Although the leaders of the machine repair factory did not intend to let her go, Ma Qing used pork to open the way and easily solved the problem. Liang Huandi entered the Red Star Steel Mill, was allocated a house, and gained a firm foothold in the Red Star Factory.

Second, He Yuzhu married Yu Li in June. The boy did not go out after the wedding day and was ridiculed by people in the yard for a long time.

Third, Yan Jiecheng also got married soon after. Everyone in the courtyard said that his bride was no worse than Yu Li. On the surface, Yan Jiecheng finally regained his status.

Not only that, Yan Jiecheng was transferred from the flashlight factory under the Light Industry Bureau to the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, directly under the leadership of Deputy Factory Director Li. At the same time, he was allocated a house and moved out of the courtyard house. He no longer lived in the back house of the courtyard house as in the plot. Everyone said that Yan Jiecheng had met a noble person and would be successful in the future.

Fourth, the conflict between Xu Damao and Lady Jia broke out and they had a quarrel in the yard, but Ma Qing felt that Xu Damao had been completely controlled by Qin Huairu and it seemed that he could not escape.

Fifth, Ma Qing graduated from technical secondary school in June and got his first technical secondary school diploma in his life.

Due to Ma Qing's excellent file record, the school leaders specifically asked for Ma Qing's opinion before the assignment. Ma Qing immediately expressed his desire to return to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the place where his parents had fought.

The school leaders didn't say anything at the time, but when it came time for assignment, Ma Qing returned to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as he wished, and gloriously became a 48.5th-level technician with a monthly salary of yuan.

Although he graduated from a technical secondary school, he enjoyed the treatment of an intern college student. There was nothing he could do about it, as he was just too outstanding. After all, he wrote patriotic articles and invented a multifunctional ordnance shovel, all of which were recorded in his files.

As for the suggestion to build a fish canning factory, Ma Qing didn't know whether it was recorded in the archives, but it probably wasn't.

But unfortunately, Ma Qing felt that he could only receive one month's salary at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill because he had already made up his mind to leave.

But before leaving, there are still a few things to do.

First, he had to deal with his original body's favors, so Ma Qing spread out a pen and paper and began to write his will. He mainly expressed that his parents' sudden death made him understand the impermanence of life, so he wrote a will just in case. If something unfortunate happened to him, all his property would belong to his wife and children. If he had not married and had children when the accident happened, then his property would belong to his aunt's family.

After finishing writing, Ma Qing carefully signed the date as September 9, 1959, and had a robot process it to make it look old.

Ma Qing looked at the passbook in his hand. Over the past four years, Ma Qing had withdrawn more than 8,000 yuan. Now there was probably more than 3,000 yuan left in the passbook, which he really could not spend.

In order to show that what happened next was an accident, Ma Qing could no longer withdraw the money and could only leave it in the bank account. Forget it, let's leave the money to the Ma family.

In addition, Ma Qing also left behind a draft design of the eccentric nut. Yes, it was the nut that the Japanese advertised as never loose. Ma Qing had sketched out the design ideas and basic structural principles, and by then any engineer would have understood what was going on.

After finishing these two things, Ma Qing solemnly put the envelope into the iron box where the Ma family kept their assets, together with the original jade bracelet. As for the original two gold rings and silver coins, they had been exchanged as early as the 60s when the street office advocated that everyone use precious metals to exchange for RMB.

Finally, two IOUs from Xu Damao and Yan Jie Zheng and more than 100 yuan were all put into the iron box. Ma Qing took a last look and gently closed the box.

Today is the weekend. Ma Qing took his shoulder bag, put the iron box in it, and rode his bike to the Red Star Steel Mill. Ma Qing greeted the guard, entered the factory, walked into the factory office building, and sat down at his desk.

He had only used this desk for more than a month. Ma Qing took out the iron box, put it in the drawer of his desk, and locked it with a lock.

Ma Qing patted his desk lightly with his hand, thinking, if he didn't leave, he would probably contribute to the construction of the Republic on this desk in the next few decades. Ma Qing suddenly laughed at himself, thinking that he was not that kind of person, so he should stop flattering himself.

Ma Qing, who recognized his true self, finally gave up his childhood ideal of serving his motherland. He thought he was just an ordinary person, so why should he play noble games?

After doing all this, Ma Qing looked back at the office for the last time before leaving and closed the door gently.

After leaving the office building and the factory, Ma Qing kicked off his bike and headed towards Liang Huandi's home. When he arrived at Liang Huandi's home, Ma Qing knocked on the door. This was Ma Qing's first time to visit Liang Huandi's new home, and he didn't expect it would be the last time.

"Why are you here?" Liang Huandi said happily.

"I missed you, so I came to see you. Where are Da Mao and the others?"

Liang Huandi rolled her eyes at Ma Qing and said, "After lunch, I don't know where he went."

"If you let them roam free like this, you don't have to worry about Damao and the others getting abducted. When do they usually come back?" Ma Qing asked with a smile on his face.

Liang Huandi understood what Ma Qing meant at once, and walked to the window and looked around.

He said, "Da Mao is very smart. He is taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. Why should I worry about him?"

Liang Huandi pulled Ma Qing's hand as she spoke. Ma Qing felt that women's mouths were also deceiving.

Maybe it was time to leave. Ma Qing was particularly devoted today. The woman seemed to have noticed something, but said nothing. She just cooperated more gently.

After these three things happened, the room fell into a long silence and neither of them spoke.

Ma Qing originally wanted to use his remaining courage to pursue the enemy, but the Overlord was unwilling to lift the tripod. Forget it, forget it, let it be, I have done my best.

Ma Qing patted Liang Huandi and said, "I'll wait for you outside. I have something to tell you."

Ma Qing was sitting on a chair in the outer room. Liang Huandi came to Ma Qing with a nervous mood.

"Sister Liang, I'm leaving in two days."

Liang Huandi's heart trembled, "You, are you coming back?"

Ma Qing lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He looked up and smiled: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe, maybe not. Don't miss me. I am just a legend."

Liang Huandi was also amused. "Go to hell, you have become a legend. I will develop feelings for cats and dogs after spending a long time with them. I still miss you. You are dreaming."
