Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 447: Bad bamboo produces good shoots?
Shao Le was in an awkward situation at that time.

Carrying the things she bought for her adoptive parents in the Shao family, she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to go forward or backward.

Normally, he and Shao Yonggang get along peacefully, and they can even sit together and have a drink.

But this was only occasional, just to make Shao's parents happy.

After all, the two of them didn't have much to say to each other.

Talking about my childhood is like rubbing salt into a wound.

Speaking of work, Shao Yonggang is currently studying at night school, but he's still finding it somewhat difficult. In addition, with a child and his wife not being very capable, all sorts of messy things are definitely affecting his ability to adapt to the current environment.

How could he possibly be as successful in his job as Shao Le?
However, being a worker in a factory also requires skills.

Therefore, Shao Yonggang was assigned to the infrastructure team by his father.

Considering the special circumstances, he was given a formal worker position.

This is also a way of taking care of Lao Shao.

But the work he did in the infrastructure team was also unskilled.

In the past, when two people sat together, whether they talked about family, their respective partners, or even work, they could hardly find common ground and resonate with each other. In fact, they were more likely to step into sensitive topics.

Therefore, Shao Le basically doesn't stay here to eat anymore.

He would always remember the look in Shao Yonggang's eyes that day, filled with disgust, hatred, and resentment.

But he couldn't just stop visiting.

Those who don't know the truth will call him ungrateful and a heartless wretch. But if he goes and the situation remains the same, it will be difficult for Shao Le as well.

There was no other way this time.

He forced himself to knock on the door, placed one of the bags in the foyer, and said directly to Shao Yonggang who came over, "This is from Xiaoman for both of us. This is yours, and this is mine. Xiaoman said they are all the same inside."

Having been siblings for so many years, Shao Yonggang paused for a moment upon hearing Xiaoman's name, his eyes softening as he asked in a low voice, "Where are they now? Why haven't they come here?"

"Oh, she didn't come in. She and her younger brother left the things in the guardhouse by the door. She said that she made all the sticky rice dumplings in there, and that the filling had white sugar added, which is what you like to eat, but actually I like them too."

Seeing that Shao Yonggang showed no signs of aversion, Shao Le felt relieved.

For Shao's parents, their two sons were basically silent when they faced each other.

The same applies now.

Shao Le had no intention of coming in. He smiled at his parents, who were sitting on the sofa, and said, "Well, I won't go inside. These sticky rice cakes need to be left outside to freeze, but everything else seems fine. I'm off then."

Although Shao Yonggang never returned to Wagouzi Brigade, he felt uneasy when he heard that Zhao Xiaoman and his younger brother had only gone to the gate and hadn't come in, but had gone straight back.

He knew that the Wagouzi brigade only had one horse-drawn cart, which would not be used by the two of them. They must have carried the two bags of things from the Wagouzi brigade, set off before dawn, and traveled for more than four hours to get there.

They must have gone straight back now, otherwise it would be too early to travel safely.

As he saw Shao Le out, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Xiaoman getting married?"

Shao Le nodded: "Yes, I'm planning to go."

Shao Yong started searching his pockets, but all his money had been taken by his wife.

Then he went back into the house.

Shao Le stood in the stairwell, unsure whether to go in or out, feeling quite distressed.

Fortunately, Shao Yonggang came out quickly, handed 50 yuan to Shao Le, and said, "This is a small token of my appreciation."

Shao Le took the money, remembering what Lu Qiaoge had told him, and said with a smile, "I just found out that Xiaoman can also weave all sorts of things with corn husks."

Shao Yonggang smiled gently and said, "Yes, Xiaoman has been skillful since she was a child."

It's a pity she was born into that kind of family. If she had been born in this military industrial compound, she would definitely have had a different future.

“Lu Qiaoge is going to come with me. She has her eye on the items that Xiaoman wove from corn husks. Of course, we’ll have to see the actual items to know if they’re any good…” Shao Yonggang’s brows furrowed slowly. “Actually, when the craft factory first started recruiting, Xiaoman could have been hired as long as she applied, but she couldn’t come because she had too many things on her mind.”

Shao Le also fell silent.

Shao Yonggang was telling the truth.

But he had great confidence in Lu Qiaoge. As long as Lu Qiaoge took a liking to the items Xiaoman had woven, Lu Qiaoge would definitely be able to find a way to solve the problem.

Shao Yonggang watched Shao Le go downstairs. He leaned against the wall, thinking to himself, "If Xiaoman really comes to work at the craft factory, what will happen to Wu Ming?"
Will Wu's parents-in-law agree?
However, Xiaoman always had a plan. Just like when she learned that he was going to marry Zhao Di, she secretly came to him and said that she disagreed and asked him to wait and see.

But he was ultimately tricked and had no choice but to marry Zhao Di.

Bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots.

Apart from the one who was similar to Zhao the Lazybones, the other three were all of good character.

But he didn't want to associate with them either.

However, he knew Lu Qiaoge; he was the famous Director Lu of the 516 Military Factory.

If she takes a liking to this, Xiaoman might really be able to turn her life around.

If all else fails, he will go back to the village to persuade her.

Soon, it was time for Zhao Xiaoman's wedding.

Lu Qiaoge went there on a mission, and she brought Fan Xiaoyu with her.

She had originally planned to drive, but Qin Hengzhi said he wasn't busy at work today and could come with her. So she simply used Qin Hengzhi's car.

Lu Qiaoge sat in the front passenger seat, while Qin Hengzhi drove.

Sitting behind them were Shao Le, Chen Zhi, and Fan Xiaoyu.

The trunk contained the gifts given by the neighborhood committee.

Shao Le said from behind, "It was cloudy yesterday, and they said it would snow, but now the sky is clear. Today is quite nice."

Fan Xiaoyu looked out the window, her eyes filled with wonder.

It was her first time attending a wedding like this in the countryside, and she thought it would be a lot of fun.

Nowadays, weddings are generally encouraged to be simple, but some essential elements will still be included.

Lu Qiaoge said, "The date was chosen well; it's even warmer today than yesterday."

Chen Zhi chuckled and said, "Spring will begin in a few days."

The group chatted and laughed, and it seemed like only a short time had passed before they arrived at Wagouzi Brigade.

Children were playing at the village entrance, and they stared in shock at the huge iron vehicle as it approached.

An eight or nine-year-old boy who knew Shao Le took off running into the village, shouting as he ran, "Zhao Xiaoman's older brother is here! Zhao Xiaoman's older brother is here! He came in a big iron truck..."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoman felt uneasy.

My older brother said he's coming today, and that Comrade Lu is coming along too.

She was a child bride, and all she needed to do was register the marriage and complete the ceremony to consummate the marriage.

But now that Zhao's two unscrupulous parents are gone, she went back to Zhao's family.

Sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), he would occasionally look out the window.

Brother Zhao was also walking around inside and outside the house.

Zhao Xiaomei protected the more than twenty items made of corn husks placed on the kang cabinet, preventing the children and other people coming and going from touching them.
