Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

Qin Huairu smiled and answered in a light tone:

"Yes, I'm going to work at the steel rolling mill. Today is my first day, and Brother Anping is taking me there."

Wang Anping instructed Sha Zhu:

"Shazhu, your sister Qin will also be working at the steel rolling mill in the future. She'll be your coworker and also your neighbor in the same courtyard."

"From now on, if anyone dares to bully your sister Qin in the factory, you have to step forward to protect her."

"You know what?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately perked up and thumped his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, this is absolutely necessary!"

Although he disliked Wang Anping, Sister Qin was a good person, beautiful and virtuous, and he had to protect her.

Wang Anping patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder with great reassurance:

"Not bad, looks like we're brothers."

"Although you're a bit silly, you have a good personality."

As they were talking.

Qin Huairu had already gotten into Wang Anping's car and left.

Sha Zhu stood there blankly, unsure whether he had just been praised or not.

Jia Dongxu turned to look at Sha Zhu, his eyes filled with the same way he looked at an idiot.

He said irritably:

"Fool."

"That's Wang Anping's wife, why are you so nosy?"

Sha Zhu didn't like hearing that:

"What kind of talk is that? We're all from the same courtyard, shouldn't we help each other out? Didn't you hear Wang Anping say that I'm his brother?"

"Besides, Wang Anping is no good, but Sister Qin is a good person."

"I know you don't like Wang Anping."

(Please remember the website 20 ...

"But if you dare to make things difficult for Sister Qin, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Jia Dongxu was so angry that his face turned white.

I feel like this guy is really brainless, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Although he was two years older than Sha Zhu, their physiques were not even in the same league. He was no match for Sha Zhu and didn't have Xu Damao's harmful ideas. He could only glare at Sha Zhu with disdain.

Finally, he muttered resentfully:

"My mom has already told Aunt Li that she'll introduce me to someone soon."

"I'll definitely find someone even prettier than Sister Qin."

"You'll be envious then!"

On the other side, Wang Anping drove Qin Huairu to the entrance of the steel rolling mill.

The gatekeeper recognized him from the last time he came; he knew he was the nephew of Wang Ligen, a long-time employee of the factory.

Wang Anping greeted the old man with a smile, handed him a bag of Hademen candy, and then stuffed a handful of wedding candy into his hands.

"Sir, thank you for your help. I've brought my wife to report for duty."

The gatekeeper opened his cigarette pack, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and waved with a smile:

"Don't mention it! Come in, come in."

"On your first day at work, go to the Labor and Wages Department to complete the approval procedures, and then go to the Personnel Department to register. That's it."

Wang Anping smiled and nodded his thanks, then led Qin Huairu inside.

Next, Wang Anping took Qin Huairu to each department to complete the formalities.

Because of Wang Ligen's special status and the fact that he had only recently left, the factory paid special attention to the matter and handled it with exceptional speed and efficiency.

Wang Anping was also very open and generous.

When you encounter colleagues who are there to help you, offer them cigarettes or wedding candy as appropriate.

He even made a special trip to Director Yang's office to show his face and make his presence known.

In just over an hour, Qin Huairu's onboarding procedures were all completed, and she was ready to report to the workshop.

In the end, Qin Huairu was assigned to Workshop 2—the same workshop where Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu worked—but she was not assigned to work under Yi Zhonghai.

The workshop director was even specially summoned to the deputy factory director's office.

Deputy Factory Director Yang personally instructed him to find a reliable mentor for Qin Huairu, a task the director naturally dared not neglect.

"He Hua, this is Comrade Qin Huairu. Please take care of her from now on."

"Her husband is Comrade Wang Anping, and Wang Anping's uncle is Comrade Wang Ligen."

The workshop director led Qin Huairu to a group of female workers, briefly explained the situation to the group leader He Hua, and then turned and left.

There were a total of six or seven female workers in the group.

Upon seeing the newcomer, they immediately surrounded her.

Especially seeing that Qin Huairu was a young and pretty wife, and her partner was also handsome, everyone became even more interested and greeted her warmly, without any formality.

"Sister Hua..."

As soon as Wang Anping opened his mouth, he suddenly felt that the address sounded familiar.

I remembered that there seemed to be a character like this in the TV series. I wondered to myself, could this He Hua be Sister Hua?

If that's true, that would be great.

Sister Hua is known for her fierce personality. She loves to join in the fun and watch the drama unfold. At least half of the male workers in the factory don't dare to mess with her.

There's no time to think about it right now.

Since the workshop director has made this arrangement, Sister Hua will be Qin Huairu's mentor, and the female workers next to her will be Qin Huairu's colleagues whom she will deal with every day from now on.

Wang Anping cheerfully opened his cloth bag.

He took out several packets of candy wrapped in kraft paper and handed them to the female workers one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Huairu and I just got our marriage certificate the day before yesterday. Today, I'd like to treat everyone to some wedding candy. Please don't mind."

"Huai Ru is a newcomer."

"I'll have to rely on all of you older sisters for your help."

"If she does anything wrong, please be tolerant and teach her more."

The female workers found it quite novel that this handsome young man was so polite, and they all felt that this new colleague's husband seemed to be someone special.

I've seen plenty of young men in the factory.

It's rare to see someone as generous as Wang Anping.

Most young men are very reserved when they see a group of female workers together, unlike him, who speaks eloquently and is also energetic.

The team leader, He Hua, was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old and had a natural air of a big sister.

I opened the paper package and took a look, and my eyes couldn't help but show surprise - inside was a rare find: nougat.

It's much more expensive than regular bulk sugar.

The key issue is that they're not easy to buy.

She immediately understood Wang Anping's thoughts, waved her hand, and smiled:

"Alright, alright, don't do this in the factory."

"Now that Huai Ru has joined our group, we're sisters from now on, so we'll naturally look after her."

"Alright, what's the point of you, a grown man, hanging around in the women's group? Hurry up and leave, or we'll drag you along to watch the melons."

Well, it must be that Sister Hua, no doubt about it.

Wang Anping chuckled inwardly. How could someone so young have such a taste? This quirk is quite peculiar.

He pulled Qin Huairu aside and whispered his instructions:

"Learn more from Sister Hua."

I'll pick you up after get off work this afternoon.

"I told the comrades in the street work group that I would invite them to a wedding banquet after the wedding. I will tell them later, and it will be tonight."

He couldn't be bothered to maintain the social relationships within the compound.

However, the working relationships within the working group still need to be maintained.

After Wang Anping left, the female workers immediately surrounded Qin Huairu again.

Everyone was very curious about this beautiful new girl, and even more curious about her handsome boyfriend—these days, gossip about everyday matters was the main source of entertainment for female workers.
