1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 23 Yang Mo, do you want a wife?
The autumn rain brings a chill. In just half a month, the season in Qilu has gone from sometimes feeling too hot when wearing long sleeves to suddenly entering a season where people dare not go out without a sweater.

In order to avoid being exposed, after disguising himself as a Taiwanese businessman and "inspecting" in Xialiu Village for a day, Yang Mo was ordered to return to the drilling company. Instead, Zhang Wenshun personally stationed in the 152 Drilling Team. It seemed that this director would never come back until the battle was over.

Therefore, Yang Mo had some free time. He read novels leisurely in the office every day. Occasionally, when he got tired of reading, he would stand aside and admire Comrade Bao Shuxian's hard-working look as he buried himself in countless materials and wrote hard.

This kind of leisurely and happy life without leaders coming to inspect is simply the dream life of any grassroots employee.

If possible, Yang Mo hopes that this kind of life can continue until the day he retires.

But unfortunately, this kind of YY-like fantasy is impossible to achieve.

With the end of the oil war, a group of rookies who had practiced at the grassroots level for three months returned to the general office one after another with tanned faces...

………………

"I, Cai Zhaofeng, am finally back alive... I carried cement bags for three months, it was so unbearable! ~ Ouch!"

A young man whose face was sunburned burst into tears of joy and howled like a wolf.

"F*ck, you've been carrying cement bags for three months and you're already complaining? Then what about me being forced to rush into the mud pool and act as a human mud mixer... Damn it, he's almost dead!"

Seeing his colleague in the same department looking so useless, another young man laughed and scolded him, but his tone was filled with a sense of pride at having survived a disaster.

"To be honest, I think the well team is not a place for people to stay. I'm just a little girl, but they made us walk two kilometers every night to pick up river sand!?... Do you know that one load weighs 40 kilograms? I've never done such heavy work at home!"

A little girl cried with a look of grievance, holding tightly onto the shabby old desk that she once disliked so much, and refused to let go.

"Eh? Are you all so miserable? Why am I only doing some work like copying data and guarding the equipment after I went down there?"

A young man looked in astonishment at this group of friends who had lost a lot of weight, not understanding why they had encountered such a tragic experience.

This reckless showing off soon aroused public anger - in just one minute, this guy was pinned down on the table by several jealous friends, mixed with his pleas for mercy and the laughter, scolding and condemnation of other female comrades.

Just as Yang Mo was hiding in a corner, smiling at the fight that only happened in middle schools and college dormitories, a figure appeared beside him and whispered, "Yang Mo... I'm sorry."

Yang Mo turned around and saw Tu Lili whom he hadn't seen for a while. He was a little surprised: "Why are you saying sorry to me?"

Tu Lili bit her lip and said, "I... I shouldn't have... Anyway, I'm sorry!"

After experiencing that massive confrontation involving hundreds of people, she naturally understood what the "thank you gift" that Sun Jian gave her was. Besides being terrified, she was naturally grateful to Yang Mo for showing up to rescue her. If Yang Mo and his group hadn't staged a show to suppress the matter temporarily, Yan Laoxi would definitely have exploded immediately, and once the matter was exposed, the money she had raised from her family and relatives and friends would have been wasted.

Therefore, in the following sleepless nights, she felt remorseful when she recalled Yang Mo's words to her secretly reminding her not to get involved in this matter; and when she thought about how she had run to others to show off complacently, Tu Lili felt even more ashamed.

It's just that as a girl, she is thin-skinned after all. Although she felt guilty for not listening to Yang Mo's advice before and she really needed his help at the moment, being humble verbally was already the limit she could do.

If she were asked to say in person why she was apologizing... I'm sorry, she really couldn't say it.

Looking at the other party's hesitant expression, Yang Mo smiled, then waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay!"

After saying that, he turned his head and continued to watch the group of young people fighting.

When Tu Lili saw the other party's completely indifferent look, she didn't know why, but she felt a nameless anger suddenly burning in her chest - the way Yang Mo waved his hands, in her opinion, was like he was chasing away a fly.

After finally suppressing her anger, she was surprised to find that under the vague and distant feeling conveyed by Yang Mo, she couldn't even say a single word of the words she had thought of to ease the relationship.

After standing there for a while with her face turning pale and blue, Tu Lili returned to her desk with a trace of regret and anger on her face. ………………

"Hey, Yang Mo, are you and Tu Lili...having a quarrel?"

As soon as Tu Lili left, Bao Shuxian, who was sitting opposite Yang Mo, sneaked around, nudged Yang Mo with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice in a mean way.

Although he had always wondered why Bao Lao Si was always closer to him than others, Yang Mo still couldn't stand his nonsense: "Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words! What do you mean by quarreling? Tu Lili and I have been ordinary colleagues from the beginning to the end... If others heard it and misunderstood anything, I will be the first to settle the score with you!"

Bao Shuxian heard this, his eyes rolled twice behind his glasses, and he said in a long tone: "Really...?"

Yang Mo rolled his eyes: "It's not true, can it still not be cooked!"

Bao Shuxian adjusted his glasses and sighed, "Such a beautiful girl has been with you in the well team for three months and she didn't know how to seize the opportunity!? What a pity... This time Cai Zhaofeng got a good deal... That guy has been interested in Tu Lili before!"

Yang Mo chuckled: "Comrade Bao Shuxian, why didn't I know you were such a gossiper before? Besides, we just started working, why don't we focus on work instead of dwelling on those trivial matters between men and women... If you're dating now, how can you be so unreasonable!"

When Bao Shuxian heard this, he felt his eyelids twitching violently.

Focus on work?

Please, you are the only one in our general office who has no right to say this... Do you really think we are blind and can't see those big novels on your desk?
and also……

Are you just too upset when it comes to dating?

Where the hell did you get this weird idea from? It’s totally inconsistent with socialist values!
However, when Bao Shuxian heard that Yang Mo disliked his gossip, he sighed depressedly: "Yang Mo, you know how I have been spending the past three months... Every day, I am facing those materials that can never be finished and the manuscripts that are constantly rejected. I am about to collapse... If I don't find some fun for myself, I am afraid I will go crazy in less than three days... Besides, I can deal with so many different materials from various departments every day, I can't help but gossip!"

Yang Mo looked at this guy with some pity. He had a deep understanding in his previous life how exhausting it was to be a full-time writer for various departments. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to understand why this guy was forced to develop some quirks.

As if he was not used to Yang Mo's eyes, Bao Shuxian changed the subject: "By the way, I heard from the seniors in the Personnel Department that the evaluation scores of the well teams for us came out three days ago, and the Personnel Department is currently going through the procedures... In other words, we will get our establishment soon!"

When Yang Mo heard Bao Shuxian use the word "we", he immediately knew that he was on the list, and he smiled and congratulated him: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Comrade Bao Shuxian, you have worked hard in the office for three months and finally achieved your goal!"

Bao Shuxian was so happy that his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations! There are a total of eight people in our department on the list this time... and you are on it too!"

Eight people?
Yang Mo looked at Bao Shuxian in surprise. You know, in the previous life, only three people were left from the group of employees in the general office.

That is to say...

Has history gone a little awry?

Seeing Yang Mo in a daze, Bao Shuxian thought that this guy was crazy because of sudden joy, and immediately smiled proudly: "Hehe, having a regular position and not having a regular position are two different things. Not only is the treatment very different, but the way people look at you is also completely different. In addition, there are many hidden benefits..."

At this point, Bao Shuxian nudged Yang Mo and confirmed again: "Hey, let me ask you one more time, you have to answer honestly... Is there really nothing going on between you and Tu Lili?"

Yang Mo glared at him unhappily: "I've already told you that we are just ordinary colleagues...do you need me to swear to heaven?"

Bao Shuxian chuckled: "That's fine... no need to swear."

As he spoke, this fellow had an indescribable shyness and vulgarity on his face, and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear: "Hey, Yang Mo... do you want a wife?"
